Maintenance Tips

“There is no such thing as maintenance–free Sisterlocks®!"

JoAnne Cornwell:  A Tapestry of Dreams The Sisterlocks® Book. 

Like any other hairstyle Sisterlocks® require care and maintenance for proper growth and also for the locks to set in place.  The most basic form of maintenance for Sisterlocks® include Shampooing techniques (included in the Starter Kit) and finger combing the locks to separate them especially at the root section.

It is highly recommended that you use the Sisterlocks® Family of products as they have been specially formulated; they are extremely lightweight (they will not weigh your hair down with excessive grease) It is recommended for hair to be shampooed at least once per week.

There are 3 Shampoos (2 of which come in a spray bottle). Each of these has been created for specific hair types.

Tea Water Formula

  This as a slight alkaline Ph and is great for weak/fragile hair that is difficult to soften and moisture.

Salon Formula Shampoo

  This is more of a “Clarifying Shampoo” as it gives a deeper clean. This has a slight acid Ph and is recommended for hair that has a medium or loose wave or curl pattern.

Herbal Menthol Shampoo

 Just like regular, this has a slight refreshing tingle to the scalp. However this is recommended for mature locks only.

Next we will move on to Conditioners; there are 3 main Conditioners.

Moisture Treatment

This has a cold cream consistency that works effectively on both scalp and hair.

Reconstructor

This contains a high amount of protein that is needed to strengthen and bring back life to the hair. This is especially beneficial on the fragile/weak hair types (with regular use)

Herbal Moisture Spray (with lecithin)

This can be described as a “mid week refresher” in the Sisterlocks® world. It  adds moisture to the hair.

It is highly important that you follow the instruction given by your Certified Sisterlocks® Consultant , as well as the information in your starter kit.

First Follow–up: Re–tightening Session

The Journey is starting to get even more exciting.  It is now time for your first follow up visit with your newly installed Sisterlocks®  Based on the information you received in the “Starter Kit” , you would have noticed that you were advised to schedule your visit when you have shampooed your hair at least two times ( usually a month from the time your locks were put in)

This is where your consultant will test the integrity of your locks and will have an idea of how long the settling process will take. This is in essence a re- tightening session so be prepared to be in the salon for most of the day.

At this stage , you will be able to discuss Styling Tips and also what look is right for you. As it relates to On-going re-tightening sessions , try to schedule them for 4-6 weeks intervals. By doing this your Consultant will be able to carefully monitor your hair . I cannot stress this enough , It is imperative to follow the instructions of your Consultants as it relates to visits and care .

The Locking Session

We are now at the second stage of starting the Sisterlocks® Process. This might be the longest stage of the process, be sure to bring a good book and prepare to relax when you come in for your locking session. On average, this can take you up to 15 hours ... give or take a few extra hours depending on the size of your head and the texture of your hair.

It is important to pre-prep your hair before coming in. Hair should be clean and in its natural state and left to air dry, if you don't get around to it?...No worries, we'll do it for you. As I mentioned in the last post, your hair should be free from serums, oils, moisturizer or any products at all....and this is best done 24-48 hours before you come in.

What to Expect

• A portion of your deposit will be collected prior the installation until at least 50% of it has been received. 
• Since you will be spending more than half a day in the Salon, expect to get periodical 2-10 minute breaks between the sessions.
• Depending on the Salon you go to, you will receive complimentary tea, water, a healthy snack or maybe even a low calorie meal. Adzua provides all our clients with their choice of a healthy tea, upon arrival.
• You will also have at your convenience: magazines, music or whatever makes you comfortable. Adzua is actually a "Hot Spot" so you will be able to take all your gadgets with you.

At the end of your locking session, you will be given what is known as a "Starter Kit" which should contain "Getting started Shampoo”, Shampoo instructions, tiny rubber bands, a tip sheet and a welcome card. The amount of locks a Sisterlocks® client usually leaves with is over 400.  As you are about to leave, your Consultant will schedule you for a "Follow Up” visit for the next 3 weeks. As I advised in my initial post, it is very important to follow the instructions of your Consultant for better results.
