Things You'll Need:
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Metal comb
- Scissors
- Hair clippers
-
Step 1
Use a pair of scissors to cut each sisterlock off one at a time near the root of the hair. Try to cut as close to the scalp as possible.
-
Step 2
Use the hair clippers to shave the remainder of the hair. Using a clipper guard will remove the hair without leaving you bald.
-
Step 3
Wash your hair and scalp with shampoo. Rinse and repeat two times or until all dirt and build-up have been removed.
-
Step 4
Massage conditioner into wet scalp for two to four minutes. Rinse thoroughly and allow head to air-dry.
-
Step 1
Use a pair of scissors to cut the bottom tips (about 1/2 centimeter) off your sisterlocks.
-
Step 2
Soak your sisterlocks in hot water for 10 to 20 minutes to help loosen the dirt and build-up.
-
Step 3
Wash your hair and scalp thoroughly with shampoo, making sure to pay attention to each sisterlock. Rinse each lock with hot water to remove all shampoo residue.
-
Step 4
Apply conditioner liberally to each sisterlock. Locks should be saturated with conditioner. Do not rinse the conditioner out yet.
-
Step 5
Use the metal comb to start picking apart the sisterlocks one at a time. Begin at the bottom of the lock and work your way up.
-
Step 6
Re-wash and condition your hair once the sisterlocks are out. Removing sisterlocks can put a lot of stress on your hair. Allow your hair to rest for a day or two before styling it.
