Is there something I should do to straighten them or just let them do their thang?

I have your ebook…it’s great btw.

Cool that your sister and I share this beautiful name!

Wow, 9 years…that’s how long mine have currently been in. I’m so sorry about your hair loss!

No, there is absolutely no twisting with Bradelocz…you will use an interlock technique by way of a standard latch hook and it is only required to be done every 4-6 weeks…longer if you wish. Thank you for the compliment on my hair and kind words!

Awww…congrats on getting her hair done! I’d love to see pictures of your little one’s hair!

Be blessed,

Cherie

My sister has the same name I had locs for over 9 yrs and cut it over a year ago because of balding at the top of my head it is finally growing back but you can still see the patches. I think bradelocz would be a great alternative for me. What do you think, I know that I overtwisted my hair and that is what caused the breakage. I will be ordering your guide book very soon.

So there is no twisting at all involved with bradelocz right?

Your hair is beautiful, I miss my locs it was half way dowm my back, looking forward to starting my bradelocz soon. So glad I found your website had no idea there were so many ways to start locs.

Thanks again

Okay, yes that sounds good and I understand what you’re saying.

As for her age, I don’t think it’s too soon at all. My two youngest children were each 2 years old when I started theirs. The only thing with locking young children is that you have to make sure you keep a close eye on lint because if you don’t, it’s very easy for lint to get trapped and embedded into their locs – that and the fact that sometimes they don’t want you touching their hair so retightening sessions could be challenging depending on the child…which was the case with my youngest son. That boy HATED me doing anything to his head!

But other than that, it’s fine…I’ve known people who started their children’s locs even younger. I know some debate it but as a mom who’s done it, I feel it’s perfectly fine. So I see no problem with you starting her locs now, but you’re her mother and you know her best and therefore should use your own discretion.

Thanks so much for responding so quickly. Yes, I wanted to braid her hair 1st and then latch it,since her hair unravels and also when she gets upset/mad she pulls her hair out.I really don’t have the time to be braiding her hair everyday, so I thought braidlocz would be the best thing for us. I’m not going to do her hair as small as sisterlocs maybe the the size that you have on your e-book the (sec square)from the top.I understand that you can’t latch everyday or twist.I mainly wanted to reinforce the braid so she can’t pull it out(one time thing until she’s locked)Then from there,let nature do it’s thing.Also do you think that it’s too soon to start her hair now or should I wait until she’s a little older? Thanks for your understanding and your time.

Thank you for your kind words. As a former hair stylist, I feel that the time and energy placed into doing Sisterlocks is probably worth the cost. I’ve never done actual Sisterlocks before, but since the latchin’ method is similar in some ways, I have seen how tedious it can be to do them…especially when they are very small, tiny locs. But I do understand what you’re saying and where you’re coming from. Just thought I’d give you a different perspective

As for your 3-year old, let me make sure I’m understanding you correctly. Do you mean all done during the first initial installation of the braids? Like, if you braided her hair today, can you latch her hair…TODAY? That would depend on how loosely or how tightly you braided her hair. You don’t want to put too much stress on her scalp, but if there is some “give” between her scalp and the base of the braid, then you should be able to.
