The concepts of grooming, twisting and creating lock of hair is not new. The method of locking hair with a tool other than a comb, however, is a new, revolutionary idea to some. This end “back combing” and teasing to start locks!
One professional system designed to start dreadlocks for coarse, dense hair (also referred to as “nappy” or “kinky”) is the patented Sisterlocks tm technique, created by Dr. Joanne Cornwell.
Sisterlocks™ is a company that conducts training courses and issues a private certification based on its own independently established criteria. Starting dreadlocks in this manner can be a lot more costly and not at all cheap to maintain.
What about other techniques? Without taking Dr. Cornwell’s course, a person can still start to produce small folds of hair using the natural hair quality to create small dreads or "locks" of kinky, Caucasian, Negroid or bi racial types of hair.
Benefits to having structured dreadlocks is that they can be groomed professionally or simply by oneself. There is usually great cost saving benefits to wearing locked hair. The hair can be coiffed and styled in the same way as chemically relaxed, thermal straightening (hot comb pressed) or curled hair.
Locks do not have to be undone in order to be groomed or tightened. There is no damage, abrasion or loss of hair around the edges as with extensions. Furthermore, there is never an unsightly disruption in the texture of the locks as the natural hair grows out. There is often an unattractive noticeable difference as in the case of extension hair, weaves, braids, and styles where hair is added.
Using a hair tool for natural hair grooming techniques is much less expensive than waxing and twisting, extensions, braids, relaxers, weaves, thermal (hot comb) straightening and curls. Tools can create locks or groom and maintain kinky hair. The tool technique of locking is different because it is started from the end of your natural hair shaft and works upward toward the scalp. Maintenance is quick, easy, comfortable and a breeze to do anytime, anywhere!
