Baby Brotherlocks...

Believe it or not this is how the two young men below started out..."Baby Brother Locks"

Brothers in Locks

Brotherslocks can be started with 1 1/2 to 2 inches of natural growth, sometimes more length is required because of the hair type.  Brotherlocks are traditionally larger than Sisterlocks. Sisters desire the flexibility of the smaller locks.  Brotherlocks as with Sisterlocks are started and maintained without the aide of any type of wax or chemicals thus creating a more organic lock.

The only regrets I have with getting Sisterlocks Is that I didn't do it sooner!

The client below decided to keep her permed ends, this allowed for more styling options. To start Sisterlocks you need not initially trim off the permed ends, keep in mind though that the permed hair will not be locked as it is permanently altered and therefore won't lock.  Trimming the permed ends can be done once the locks settle in. The updo the client is wearing is accomplished by spritzing the hair lightly with water, two strand twist small sections and secure by twisting the ends around the base of the lock. Once dry, feather the sides to frame the face and secure the back in a French Twist with smooth tipped bobby pins.  Lilla Rose hair accessories work really well in securing updos check out my  lilla rose web-site @www.lillarose.biz/cathythomas  and see the many varieties of Flexi-clips that are featured there.
