I don't know what sisterlocs are. I am just loced, and did not use a loctitian. I go now maybe twice a year to get the head massage, and to feel papmpered. But othewise I do my own maintenance.
Funny story: While growing up my mother always commented about nappy hair. I think that was because of the three siblings whe was the one who did not get "good" hair. I took my hair after her and that dismayed her. So from an early age she pressed my hair and then took me to get get perms. My hair broke off easily and would not grow long.
When I went natural with a fro in the late 60s she was not pleased. But the funny thigs is she saw the real texture of my hair, which was mixed. What she used to call my nappy kitchen was indeed very soft and fine.
Fast forward to me locing. It took me two years of daily twisting to fully loc, because the texture of my natural in places was so fine and soft. And even now the hardest part of new growth to loc is that nappy kitchen. LOL
Now seven years later my hair is down my back and still growing strong.
