Flexible And Fashionably Current Sisterlocks

By Joseph Olson


The natural hair movement is spreading like wildfire through the world. Many sisters around the world are ditching perms and weaves in favor of their natural tresses. Sisterlocks have been selected as the style of choice for many women around the world who have decided to go natural. This widespread embracing of the Afro-textured hair is part of a broader move to celebrate individual and ethnic diversity and identities.

Locking is a long-term hairstyle in which strands of hair are fused together. This style comprises tiny locks created by stylists who weave an intricate design with their clients' hair. Many people prefer them to traditional locks which are created by rolling the hair between the palms of the hands and tend to be bigger.

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.

The hairstyle is sported by both genders even though it is more popular among females. The male version of the style is called brotherlocks and tends to feature locks that are a little bigger in size than the female option. Women in particular, gravitate towards the style because it means fewer trips to the salon to get styling treatments such as perms and maintenance sessions.

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.

Color is another tool used to add versatility to this hairstyle, allowing the wearers to express their own individual tastes and fashion visions. Locks can be colored at the ends, throughout the full length of the strands or just in sections creating a pattern that makes the wearer stand out among others. Some wearers opt for a combination of colors.

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.

Due to the versatility that it facilitates, this hairstyle is expected to remain prominent in the fashion world for years. The confidence that it inspires in wearers who become more appreciative of the flexibility and beauty of their natural tresses is another factor adding to its expected longevity on the fashion scene.
