Did you happen to catch the article on Clutch about the pros and cons of sisterlocks? (Here's a link: http://bit.ly/PIWcSk). They hit all the main points so I won't bother to repeat them here. But there are a few I think they missed:
Pros
1) Great for the style-challenged: I have never been great with styling my own hair. Sisterlocks is a built-in style. I wake up and look great. Love that.
2) Versatile: If you are the type of person who gets bored easy, you might think locs would be a poor choice. Not so. You can curl, twist, braid, updo, color -- even flat iron (Check this out: http://bit.ly/1kjaC6Q)
3) Many men love them: Seriously. When you've got this long, beautifully flowing sisterlocks that are naturally yours, it's sexy.
Cons
1) There are haters. People who are just anti-loc (See the new military ban
on locs: http://bit.ly/1is04Or). Just a reality check that while we may
feel liberated, not everyone is celebrating our new-found freedom.
2) When they get long, washing them is a longer process. I have so much hair and it takes forever for it to dry. But oh how I love them when they are freshly cleaned.
3) Lint. It's a pain if you get it stuck in your locs and looks awful in your hair. Using a silk or satin hair wrap at night and microfiber wash cloths are good too. BlackKofi just did a review on the Turbie Twist: http://bit.ly/1h4Itwu
