| Sisterlocks freestyle |
I think the more common styling technique for sisterlocks is the rod set.I don't think I've seen any women with sisterlocks who hasn't set there hair on rods, at least once. While it does make the locs look nicely done, I think we over do it on the rods sets and styling in general.
Leave Your Hair Alone!
If I had a dollar for every thin scalp I've seen as a result of over styling,I wouldn't have to work anymore. Seriously ladies, there is nothing wrong with letting your hair do 'nothing'. The hair is already under a limited amount of tension when you retighten it, and the constant pulling and twists with thin your locs out.
If your hair is already to begin with, I recommend keeping the styling to maybe once every month. A loose set or twists out is fine on occasion but be careful, natural hair is actually more fragile than straight hair, very easy to break.
Breakage is not really important to most loc wearers, but it should be a concern. If your hair breaks faster than it grows, this can cause thinning at the base of the locs,which can eventually pop right off if you don't practice extreme care.
Set your Locs with end papers
So,we sisterlock ladies have to be mindful of hair breakage just like our natural hair ladies. We do not want excessive dryness, or pressure on our roots either, especially if you loc are very long.
P.S. If you use perm rods to set your hair,please use end papers so the hair doesn't get caught in the rods grooves;this can break the hair too.
