TO USE WAX OR NOT?

Many of our clients have asked about wax and which is the best method to maintain locs. First of all wax/moulding gel is the most common method of locs maintenance.

Stay blessed!

They don't know what to expect or wether they will start missing their straight hair or not . 1. The big chop To really get it right, you have to cut off your chemically processed(permed) hair. Its a difficult and awkward decision but worth it if you want to get healthier locs. However if you have natural hair you can start locs with that length of hair, no need of cutting it off, but be ready for a bit of shrinkage as your hair begins to lock. 2. Your hair won't loc immediately Locing hair is not the same as braiding or weaving. The results are not instant. It will take from 3 to 6 months depending on the texture of your hair.However,there is a method called instant locing that will take about 5 hours and voila!! you get fully matured locs. 3.
