Flexible And Fashionably Current 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.

Locking is a permanent hairstyle in which strands of hair are fused to each other. Traditional locks, which originated with the Rastafarian faith, are created by rolling hair between the palm of the hands. These slimmer locks though, are created by a weaving process in which the stylist converts the hair into tiny locks that are distinct from traditional locks which 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.

Both men and women sport this hairstyle. It can be seen in locations around the world. When men sport the style it is called brotherlocks. It is particularly convenient because of the ease with which it can be styled and the fact that it reduces the need to visit salons frequently for services such as perms.

It has been styled to suit varying types of contexts and events. When needed, the hair can be styled into a professional look that is appropriate for the work environment. It can also be styled into up-dos, buns and side sweeps among other styles. Lock wearers therefore, fit in in every possible category of event ranging from formal to casual.

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 hairstyle quickly gained popularity, stylists around the world rushed to get trained in the art of creating these locks. As a result, it is easy to find a stylist who offers the service. You can learn how to install these locks if you wish to do it yourself. For those who are interested in learning about the installation process, tutorials on how to create the style are available.

These micro-sized locks are likely to remain current for many years to come. This hairstyle has been bringing confidence and versatility to curly textured people around the world for decades and the popularity doesn't seem to be fading at all. This is because, with these locks installed wearers can confidently sport a wide range of styles suitable for all settings.
