Frizz & Locs

Frizz & Locs

Come winter, come summer, comes frizz. Frizz seems to have no season, or every season, depends which way you want to spin it, but either way, it’s there. Luckily, no matter what the season is, there is always a smooth solution, good news is on its way.

Damaged or Dry Hair

Damaged or dry hair will cause your locs to break easily at the root and string up some frizz. This is usually caused by overheating your locs, under moisturizing your locs, or by using products who promise to treat, but in fact mistreat, your locs. In the case where your locs are exceptionally dry, find yourself a natural leave in conditioner that is especially designed for locs, to avoid build-up, to properly hydrate your locs and to keep that frizz under control.

Cover Your Locs

Now obviously covering your locs is not a long term solution, but were talking about while you sleep and hang around the house. Covering your locs with a satin scarf while you sleep will prevent your locs from losing its moisture and will keep your hairs in their proper place.

Hair Texture Matters

If you have naturally curly wild hair than you will naturally have more frizz, sorry about that. But, as long as you take care of your locs as they grow in you will absolutely be able to handle and maintain that frizz control. No need in comparing your hair texture to others who seemingly have it easier, there’s no such thing, just make sure you are amply taking care of your locs’ needs with natural, thoughtful loc care products.

Palm Rolling New Growth

Have you been keeping up with your new growth maintenance routine? No ones pointing fingers over here, but if you start noticing your frizz levels have gone higher than that naturally frizzy look you were into, then maybe it’s time to start palm rolling your locs to direct your new growth to a new home. Keep in mind, rolling in the same direction without any slip ups is important. Rolling in the wrong direction will cause more frizz and may do more damage than you want to deal with.

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.
