What you're actually choosing.

Traditional dreadlocks are larger, formed by comb-coiling, palm-rolling, or interlocking. Sister Locks are small, precise micro-locs installed with a specialized tool. Starter locks are the early stage of any loc process. What you walk out with on day one, regardless of the path.

Time to mature.

Traditional locs: 12 to 18 months to fully form. Sister Locks: 18 to 24 months for the matrix to set. Starter locks: 3 to 6 months before they read as "real" locs. Patience is half the practice.

Cost over the long run.

Traditional installation: 600 to 700 zł. Sister Locks installation: from 1,200 zł. The precision takes ten-plus hours. Retouching: 350 zł traditional or from 1,400 zł for Sister Locks. Sister Locks cost more upfront but require less frequent retouches.

What suits your hair.

Sister Locks need a minimum length and density. We'll assess in the free consultation. Traditional locs work on a wider range of hair types and textures. If your hair is recovering from damage, we may suggest starting with a comb-coil set and converting later.

Lifestyle considerations.

Locs are a years-long commitment. They affect how you swim, exercise, sleep, and travel. Schedule the maintenance routine (every four to six weeks) honestly into your life before you commit.

The honest take.

No path is "better." Sister Locks if you want refinement and longevity. Traditional if you want classic loc culture and presence. Starters if you want to begin the process and decide as you go. We've installed all three. Come to the consultation and we'll match the right one to your hair and your life.
