Sisterlocks in Dubai: What You Need to Know Before Starting
What Are Sisterlocks?
Sisterlocks are a versatile, lightweight way to embrace natural hair. Unlike traditional locs, they’re created using a precise grid pattern and a special locking tool—no wax, gel, or heavy twisting. Your hair retains its natural texture and movement. At Qasr Alshar Salon, certified sisterlocks stylists plan the grid for your head shape and density, ensuring a result that looks full yet light.
Getting Sisterlocks in Dubai: What to Expect
A full sisterlocks installation is a commitment. The process can take 10–18 hours, usually split over two days. Your stylist will use a consultation to assess your hair, discuss size options, and answer questions. Installation is meticulous—each loc is woven by hand, strand by strand. Expect:
- A consultation to check hair health and discuss your goals
- Detailed grid mapping before starting
- Use of the official Sisterlocks tool (not crochet or interlock alternatives)
- A follow-up session 2–3 weeks after installation
Caring for Sisterlocks: Tips for Beautiful Natural Hair
Proper care keeps your sisterlocks neat and growing strong. Here’s how to maintain them in Dubai’s heat and humidity:
- Use a sulfate-free cleanser and minimal conditioner
- Avoid heavy oils or waxes that can cause buildup
- Cover with a silk scarf at night to prevent frizz
- Schedule retightening every 6–8 weeks
