Drlocs presents “Black Excellence Forever

 

In honor of Juneteenth & Loc Appreciation Day, this past Saturday on June 16th Drlocs presented “Black Excellence Forever.” Which turned out to be an extremely breathtaking event. The venue, the food, the people, and the entertainment were incredible!

 

What is Juneteenth?  

Also known as Freedom day or Emancipation Day. Juneteenth(June 19th) is a special day which celebrates the emancipation of the last enslaved people of the United States. 

 

What is Loc Appreciation Day?  

Loc Appreciation Day was first created & celebrated in 2011 by Youtuber Quochemist. Which falls on the fourth Saturday of every June. This is a day to take the time to celebrate & show appreciation for locs.

 

These two events have a very positive way of bringing the African American culture together to celebrate freedom & beauty. Therefore Drlocs decided to combine the two special occasions & have one huge celebration. Presenting “Black Excellence Forever” showcasing artist who created pieces which depicted Black Art.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

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.
