Sisterlocks™ Wash Routine

Step 1: Products

Please use recommended Sisterlocks™ shampoo provided with your starter kit.  Do not put any creamy product on your Sisterlocks™. As we discussed during your consultation, products may cause Sisterlocks™ to slip.  If product is needed for scalp care, apply directly to the scalp, and not on the loc shaft.

Step 2: Braid & Band

Next, make sure you braid and band your babies!

First start by parting hair down the middle. On each side you should create 4 - 6 braids/plaits(away from the scalp).  Start the braid/plait about 2 inches from the scalp, leaving enough room for finger tips to slide through. Braid Sisterlocks™ down into a plait stopping right before the loose ends. Then bend ends upward and place a rubber band to secure the loose ends. (Rule of thumb, NEVER BRAID TO THE END) 

Step 3: Wash

Finally, wash time!  When washing your Sisterlocks™ please use finger pads to massage scalp. DO NOT rub shaft of your Sisterlocks™. After shampooing, rinse as normal while squeezing excess soap and water from locz . NO CONDITIONER on your Sisterlocks™.

Step 4: Dry

We are done! You may leave your Sisterlocks™ braided while drying or take them down to let them air dry. Be careful when taking down braids/plaits making sure not to pull apart matted ends.  

 You may proceed to style (no products) your Sisterlocks™ to your liking.
