FREEFORM AND SEMIFREEFORM LOCS

-
When I say that my locs are SEMIFREEFORM locs,its simply means that I go for 4 to 6 months without retwist.Semifreeformers take longer to retwist,they just wash their locs and let leave them to grow.
Reasons being semifreeforming adds volume to locs especially if you have thin hair.It also makes locs grow thicker.There are people who don't like their scalp or partings to show, and definitely semifreeforming will work for them.People have different preferences when it comes to starting and maintaining locs.No matter the method,all locs are beautiful. FREEFORM LOCS are locs that are started by doing nothing to your hair.When you stop combing your hair,it mats together on its own to form locs,that is freeforming.
The locs form in different sizes and thickness and to me that is the most true nature of dreadlocs. Locs have evolved and now peple manipulate them according to their lifestyle and preference.Some prefer thin and others thick,some prefer perfect partings some part them with no specific style.But whatever your style,your locs are still beautiful.

WHY YOU NEED A LOCTICIAN

Many loc heads talk about the freedom to do their own locs and skip the loctician's chair all the same. I used to retwist my own hair and I can vividly remember how my arms got tired from the twisting and turning before I started to semifreeform(where you just let your locs grow with less manipulation ,you just wash and go and maybe retwist once in 6-9 months).But,not all locs can be semifreeformed.Everything has its pros and cons,I semifreeform because I am a Loctician and I can closely monitor the process and because I have thick locs,and also because I don't mind flat locs(happens when you don't retwist).If you have medium or thin locs,semifreeforming is not for you! Here are some reasons to go to a loctician  √ Locticians are style Doctors Your loctician is a natural guide to styles you haven't had before. Want a style for different occassions? A lotician will do that for you. √ A good loctician will provide low-risk services A loctician will know what wi...

RISING STRONG

Life has a way of testing us. Sometimes the challenges feel overwhelming, like waves crashing against us from every side. You try to hold on, to stay afloat, but it feels like the current is stronger than your strength. And in those moments, it’s easy to feel defeated, to wonder if you’re enough, if your efforts matter, if success will ever come. But here’s the truth,every challenge you face is not a punishment,it’s a lesson. Every setback is not a signal that you’ve failed,it’s a stepping stone towards growth. Life doesn’t give us challenges to break us,it gives us challenges to build us. It’s in the hardest moments that we discover what we’re truly made of. I’ve been there,feeling like doors were closing, dreams slipping through my fingers, and life not unfolding the way I imagined. I’ve faced moments where I had to pick myself up from the ground, dust myself off, and find the courage to start again. And each time I did, I realized something powerful: resilience isn’t built when thin...

How to remove build up in locs

Because of their nature,locs are more susceptible to build up than loose natural hair. Avoiding heavy products is an important step to avoiding build up.If you just started your locs and you notice some build up ,mix vinegar in a spray bottle,then splitz on hair.Massage into locs then rinse.Repeat during every wash till your locs are build up free. Mature locs will require deep treatment because the hair is loc'ed up tight.The Baking soda and vinegar deep cleansing treatment will get out most of the gunk trapped in the locs. *Take a 1/4 cup of baking soda *2 tsp of lemon juice *1 tsp of sea salt *3/4 cup of ACV(Apple cidar vinegar) Add the ingredients to a bowl,bucket or sink of warm water.Stir well until well mixed.Soak the locs,rub and agitate to remove the oils,dirt and gunk.Make sure all the locs are thoroughly soaked.Then rinse out well with water until clean.This should remove most build up from your locs,repeat after a while till your locs are free from build up. ...
