Lesson 3 - Parting & Sectioning

Lesson 5 - THE NATURAL INTERLOCKING PROCESS
While some people might associate hair locking with 'random formations of hair,' at Sisterlocks we take a different view. We teach our Trainees how to analyze and work with the hair's natural tendency to lock so that small, uniform locks can be created. To do this Trainees must learn to understand and engage with the hair's natural interlocking tendencies.

Lesson 6 - SHAMPOOING TECHNIQUES
Some of the most ordinary things we do to our hair can have major long-term consequences. Shampooing is one of the common procedures that can either work for, or against the locking process, as well as the overall health of our hair and scalp. The Sisterlocks approach helps us re-think shampooing. It can make all the difference in whether your clients have positive or frustrating experiences with their hair.
Lesson 7 - RETIGHTENING & REMEDIES
The information on Retightening in this lesson will help you form good habits when it comes to your ongoing relationship with clients. You'll see how creating the optimum environment for retightenings can make your locking sessions go smoothly and efficiently, creating a healthy, positive experience for your clients.
Lesson 8 - TROUBLESHOOTING
The best Consultants know how to spot potential issues before they grow into problems that may be difficult to correct. This lesson teaches troubleshooting techniques that will help you provide the best long-term care for your clients. Also, remember that the right products for Sisterlocks are Sisterlocks Products! But, do you know why? As someone who will be representing the Sisterlocks System, you will need to be able to answer that question. This lesson will provide you with the information you need to do just that!
Lesson 9 - THE CONSULTATION
Delivering an effective Consultation can make all the difference in creating a positive Sisterlocks experience for your clients. It sets the tone for what the client can expect from you, and what you expect from them. It is your first opportunity to present yourself as a knowledgeable Sisterlocks professional. This lesson will help you maximize that first impression.
