Sisterlocks – tips for tightening and retightening by Imani

by Imani Goodridge

Hey Goodies!

I finally got around to filming and editing this for you all; I wanted it to be as informational and as thorough as possible. I recommend watching it all the way through as I not only give the steps to self retightening your hair, but as well as helpful tips to ensure you do it correctly!

Also, I often get the question of how long it takes to retighten my hair or my mom’s since she has 1000+ sisterlocks. I decided to film a video filled with tips on how I do it so fast. Follow these steps to achieve a faster self retightening time!

Nappy Link Tool

I use the “micro” size Nappy Lock Tool found on this link when I am tightening.

I hope you all enjoy 🙂
