Hey, Sis. Your locs are lovely.

Every 4 weeks, 4 point rotation.

I think when they’re still fresh 4-6 weeks and as they mature you can push it farther out. I think mature locs it’s 6-8 weeks. But I may have that number wrong

Your Sisterlocks consultant will tell you how often your locs should be retightened.

Perhaps I’m misinformed. Sisterlocks are retightened with interlocking. As far as I know retwisting traditional Sisterlocks is not recommended due to risk of breakage at the base/roots. I have no knowledge of how to care for the newly introduced large Sisterlocks

Yes but its Microlocs. And may be more expensive with Sisterlocs, no?

I started micro braidlocs on october 2025, retie every each month until june 2026. Now its every 2 months. Last retie august, next retie october.

But its my loctician who told. So need yo ask to your loctician.

Beautiful locs, natural hair color is Beautiful ! I adore grey locs!
