It’s a Rastafarian belief that knotted hair prevents energy from escaping through the top of the head, keeping it in the body to aid in the strength of mind, body, and spirit. While many people have been dread locking their hair, at CitiHair in Melbourne we have the talent to create very thin dreads, known as sisterlocks. These are tiny and neat dreads that are easy to have a style that is unique and offers versatility in styling and absolutely looks professional.
Sisterlocks are less than half the size of traditional dreadlocks. They are created using a trademarked locking technique and they do not require the use of any specialist hair care products.
One of the biggest differences between sisterlocks and traditional dreadlocks is the time it takes to create the hairstyle. Traditional dreadlocks are cultivated over a period of time, requiring retwisting of the hair’s roots as the hair grows. Sisterlocks, on the other hand, take longer and are more labour intensive.
Appointments are generally broken up into 2 or 3 day increments to do a whole head of sisterlocks. Each 4-6 weeks, the new growth will need to be tightened, which can take anywhere from 3-5 hours. Sisterlocks are intended to be a permanent hairstyle, but they can be removed, but it takes a lot of work.
While the creation and maintenance of the style is labour intensive, the result is a stunning and versatile look.
