Commitment

Both Sisterlocks® and Interlocs are commitments and require maintenance to remain healthy.
They both are small locs but are separated by their sizes. In order for locs to remain consistent as they grow and develop is to stay on top of maintenance services.
There is a common myth that small locs will cause your hair to break. Small locs is not the only factor that cause breakage.
Improper loc maintenance, stress, over processed color are a few factors that can cause locs to break.
They both have a very neat grid when parting and starting the locs.
Both of these services are beautiful, versatile and a great investment.
