Sporting Black Pride Fashionably With Sisterlocks

By Joseph Olson


Many African sisters are now embracing their natural hair. This is a reflection of the growth and influence of the natural hair movement.Natural hair is styled in many different ways. One popular option is the installation of sisterlocks. The style has taken root around the world as more people with curly textured hair are embracing their cultural and ethnic heritage.

Stylists create traditional locks in their clients' hair by rolling strands of hair together between the palm of their hands. Traditional locks more closely resemble the locks worn by members of the Rastafarian faith for centuries.For these tiny locks though, the process is different and results in tinier locks. The stylist uses a smaller portion of hair for each lock and weaves an intricate pattern using a locking tool.

Needless to say, the style takes a lot of time to complete. Installation sessions can rage anywhere from twenty four hours to a couple of days depending on the thickness and length of the hair being styled. For installations that require more than a day for completion, stylists often break the job into parts necessitating several trips to the salon. Of course, the results are worth the time an effort spent.

This way of wearing African hair has become popular among many men and women around the world. The male version of the hairstyle is called brotherlocks. Women find it particularly appealing because it can be styled effortlessly and eliminates the need for frequent trips to the salon to get or maintain services such as perms.

These tiny locked ropes of hair are fashionable and appealing due to their versatility. They can be styled easily without the need for the use of common styling tools such as a comb or a flat iron. They are swept into elegant up-dos or side-sweeps for fancy formal events such as weddings. They are tied into intricate buns for professional events or even casual scenes. Tutorials for the creation of these styles are available online so wearers can fix their hair without a trip to the stylist.

Many wearers of this natural hairstyle use color to add vibrancy and variety to their hairstyles. Among the colors that first appeared in locks are gold, red and purple. As time passed wearers got bold and added colors like blue and green. These colors can be added to just the ends of the hair, giving the impression that the hair was dipped in ink. Color can be applied to the full length of the locks as well.

As the demand for the style grew rapidly, stylists rushed to get trained. This has resulted in a situation where stylists around the world have caught on to the trend and are offering sisterlocking among their cadre of services. If you want to install these locks by yourself, there are tutorials that can help.

A lock installation has grown into more than just a fashion trend. It is a unique expression of confidence in the African ethnicity and a flexible way to wear Afro-textured hair combined. It is this winning combination that makes it a hairstyle that is likely to remain in high demand for the future.
