How to Become a Sisterlocks Consultant

Sisterlocks is a type of locking system for hair which is primarily intended for women with highly textured hair. Locks are made but hair extensions are not used. Different locking techniques are used depending on the texture of a woman's hair. The hair can still be curled or styled in various ways. The Sisterlocks system is trademarked and the company certifies the consultants to ensure they do the locking properly. A Sisterlocks consultant does not have to be a licensed cosmetologist.
