When styling your locs, it’s important to be gentle with your edges. As the locs get longer (fuller over time), this could add some tension, and your edges could be at risk, especially if your locs are fragile or too thin along the hairline. To avoid balding or concerns about applying too much tension that could potentially lead to loc breakage, and traction alopecia consider wearing the following for all loc types… • Looser styling around edges • Long-lasting styles with less manipulation (protective styles) •Braid loc styles (no extensions) •Twist loc styles (no extensions) • Simply styling with curls •Braid out styles And of course, if you want to add loc jewelry this will make your locs look more fashionable.

LOC RETI’S: Each loc is individually interlocked from the roots. No matter what size locs you have, the new growth hair is gathered and interlocked back into the locs, giving a cleaner look from the scalp. Loc tools are used to achieve this look. Generally, this can be done every 4-6 weeks depending on hair texture and growth cycle. No locs are identical, don’t compare your loc journey with others. LOC RE-TWIST: Each loc is individually re-twisted from the roots. No matter what size locs you have, the new growth hair is gathered and twisted back into the locs, giving a sleek look from the scalp. Loc products on wet hair are used to achieve this look. Generally, this can be done every 4+ weeks depending on hair texture, growth cycle, and the look you are going for. No locs are identical, don’t compare your loc journey with others. BEST LOCS: So when it comes to which is a better option? Make sure you make the best decision based on your own research and preferences; budget, the look you are going for, and the type of locs you want for the long haul. No loc type is better than the other, all locs are beautiful.
