DIY Sisterlocks
Sisterlocks are becoming fashionable because of their versatility and low-maintenance. The hairstyle is a type of dreadlock that is created by threading the hair unto itself. The threading action creates a lock and prevents the hair from unraveling. Although the hair won't unravel, sisterlocks require re-tightening of new growth and to keep them neat. Re-tighten every six to eight weeks to give the style a more uniform appearance. Does this Spark an idea?

Pull the section of hair toward you, holding the twisted ends.

Visualize the section of hair divided into three parts. Insert one finger into the section of hair to create a division between the first and second parts. Pull your finger all the way down, through the hair, until you reach where the end of the section begins to twist.

Fold the tail end of the twist up into the part created by your finger, and pull it through. You have created your first sisterlock.

Repeat the process, folding the tail end of the twist into the first and second divisions until you've locked the entire section of hair. Then do the next section.
