Since it it Thursday, why not a look back to when Keisha Charmaine (Love, Light, Locs) reviewed our original line and gave her viewers a demonstration on how to use the Dr Locs line! And guess what? She loved them! Keisha creates video tutorials focusing on loc styling, loc grooming, and product use. Her blog also speaks on subjects of concern among women in the black community.
We were and still are happy about this product review/demo! Take a look:
Yes — locs can be started on virtually any hair texture. The technique that works best and the timeline you can expect will vary depending on your texture. Finer hair typically takes longer to lock and may require more patience in the early stages.
Sisterlocs is a form of interlocking — they use the same foundational technique. The difference is size and a proprietary pattern. Interlocking can be done in a range of sizes and is not limited to the Sisterlocs system.
Loc extensions should be placed as a permanent technique by a qualified loctician. When done correctly, the extension integrates naturally into the hair over time. When done incorrectly, the hair often can't sustain them and the client removes them early.
Yes — comb coils are one of the most common ways to start locs. As the hair grows and matures through the baby and teenage stages, the coil gradually locks into a permanent loc.
Interlocking and loc extensions are generally considered the most durable and fastest-to-progress techniques. If skipping the baby stage entirely is the goal, loc extensions with a qualified loctician may be the right option. However, understand that with all processes, you will go thru a process.
