30 Black Women With Seriously Stunning Sisterlocks

Thanks to social media, we're never without hair inspiration. Whether you're a weave wearer or transitioning naturalista, it seems there's always a style to obsess over. As of late, we've seen more and more women embrace a hairstyle that's been around for quite some time: sisterlocks. They're a smaller version of your standard locs, installed using a unique parting grid and special tool to twirl the strands into place. When installed properly, they can be a stylish solution for those who want a no-fuss look. If you're still on the fence about whether to take on the loc life, get inspired by these beautiful black women wearing seriously stunning sisterlocks.
