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 use 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 will be the best method to start your hair according to your hair type. They will know if to use interlock, palm rolling, backcombing among others.

√A good loctician will access the condition  of your locs
Are your locs dry? What are you missing in your loc care routine? A loctician has seen it ,has been there, and done that. He /she will know what is needed for your locs.

√A loctician is your beauty supply hookup
Wondering what are the best products for your locs? Jusk ask them. They will guide you through the right shampoo, treatment or natural oils. If he/she doesn't care or is not sure about anything, it's time to move on pal!!

Well, sometimes going to a loctician is pretty expensive especially if you have to retwist every two weeks.Locs are beautiful wether maintained or not, so if you not really a fan of going to a loctician (especially if you are semifreeforming).Here are some options for you:

Go for maintenance only. Go for a retwist every 4-8 weeks. Shampoo and treat them yourself at home.Washing your locs is the best thing you can do to them,you do 't have to wait for your next visit to your loctician to do it.

Oil your locs or moisturize them and wrap them with a satin wrap at night. It keeps your locs healthy and helps with the dryness(the number one enemy of locs)

Brush your locs. Oil your locs with coconut, olive or almonds oil and brush each section.This helps in blood flow to your scalp(which also helps in hair growth), helps to soothe the scalp and also helps to get rid of the lint that has been trapped on your locs.The feeling you get from it is amazing, you will want to keep doing it.

Your Loctician is a guide for your loc journey.

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. ...

COMBINING LOCS

Hey heeey. Hope this post finds you well.So I met this friend of mine and her locs were really thin and she was planning on cutting them. I had to convince her that she can actually combine two locs to make a thicker one.I have also met many clients who want thicker locs.. So how do you combine locs? There are several methods and each depends with your preference. * You can use a thread and needle to sew two locs together. They will mesh up and join with time. * You can also join two locs at the roots and cut one loc. You can attach that loc to the primary loc. This will enhance the length of your locs(that is if you wanted them longer).If not,after joining the two at the root,you can twist the two strands together.They will mesh up with time and become one loc. * You can also twist two loc strands together from the roots and they will lock up together with time.You can use a crotchet needle to secure the ends NB. You don't have to cut your locs to grow thicker ones. You ...
