DIY(Do It Yourself) Locs

Hello there. The other day someone asked me "Who started your locs?" and I plainly answered "I did". Ofcourse disbelief was written all over her face. There is a misconception that you have to visit a loctician to start your dreads.I am not hating on locticians, me being one.But sometimes they do what they think works best and not what the client desires. Let me give you an example. I visited a loctician when I started my  first set of locs and I specifically told him that I wanted thick locs. He said that he will start locs that will be easier to style, so I told him I didn't care about styling. Well, he went ahead and started locs that I ddn't like. So I decided, enough with locticians, and I started my second set of locs by myself. I can wash my locs as often I like , treat them as often as I like, do a scalp massage as often as I like and at the end of the day the outcome depends on me. Its amazing. You might be wondering, how the heck do I start loc

My LOC MISTAKES

Hey there So if you are following me on Instagram, I have been talking about the many mistakes that were made in my previous Loc journey that caused me to cut off my Locs. 💥I WAS ADVICED BY MY LOCTICIAN NOT TO WASH MY STARTER LOCS FOR 2 MONTHS Gross!!It is devastating when you put so much faith in your loctician or stylist only to find out that they gave you a misinformed advice. Fact: Starter Locs should be washed after two or three weeks after Installation.Actually water helps in the loc'ing process. 💥I RETOUCHED MY LOCS WITH WAX AND NEVER WENT UNDER A DRIER. This is the worst mistake you will ever make on your locs.You may not notice as it happens but one day you will look at your locs in the mirror and hate what you will see.Build up will be screaming on your locs and it will be pretty hard to wash it off Fact: Never use raw wax on your locs and fail to dry it under a drier or a blow dry.It will stick in your locs as it turns white if not melted out. 💥 USING THREAD
