Things to expect after your appointment​:
-
Locs will be stiff and stick up, this will subside with time.
-
Locs may unravel, get loose, or become frizzy at the roots. This can be addressed in maintenance, but is a consistent part of wearing locs. Please do not use rubber bands or string to reduce the frizz/tighten the locs
-
Do not wet or wash locs for about a month to allow them to set in.
-
Be sure to pull locs apart and separate them from each other, as they will try to form one bigger loc.
-
After a month, you will be able to wash your locs using a diluted castile soap (like Dr. Bronners, 1:4/1:6 soap to water ratio)
-
Avoid conditioners and creme/conditioning products
-
Avoid shampoo or products that leave residue
-
Anytime your locs get wet, be sure to fully dry them before laying on them or tying them back/up. This is to avoid mold growth.
