What Are Sister Locs?
Sister Locs are a refined, lightweight version of traditional locs, installed using a precise interlocking method from root to tip. They follow a strict grid pattern, offering maximum styling flexibility and a sleek, polished look that’s ideal for work, events, and everyday wear.
The installation process is detailed and time-intensive, typically taking 24 to 28 hours over multiple sessions, depending on your hair’s length and density. At The Loc Pod, our trained locticians in Hackney Wick use scalp-friendly techniques to ensure each Sister Loc is uniform, tension-free, and tailored to your natural curl pattern.
Sister Locs offer:
- A polished, professional appearance
- Long-lasting results with minimal maintenance
- Scalp-friendly installation that reduces tension
- Freedom to wear various hairstyles with ease
What About Micro Locs?
Micro Locs offer a similar aesthetic to Sister Locs but use a different starting technique. Instead of interlocking, they begin with braids at the root and are twisted along the length, with the option to finish with coiled ends. They’re ideal if you’re looking for a slightly more flexible or cost-effective option while still achieving a neat, uniform style.
Micro Locs offer:
- A similar refined look to Sister Locs
- More versatility in installation method
- A slightly quicker and more affordable service
- Suitable for various hair types and styling goals

Sister Locs are created using an interlocking method from root to tip, while Micro Locs are braided at the root and twisted down the length, with optional coiled ends. Both styles are refined and versatile, but the technique and cost may vary slightly.
Maintenance is typically required every 6–8 weeks to keep your partings clean and the locs locking evenly.
