On Valentines Day

On Valentines Day

We’re celebrating the day of love this month, but we don’t want you to follow the belief that today is just a day for romantic love. It’s a chance to celebrate an all inclusive love, a shared love. There is love to share with everyone, your family, your friends, your pets and your plants (and your locs!). 

Love is something that should be expanding and shared with the people that surround you. It's always nice to receive flowers or a box of chocolate from a lover, or even a secret admirer but, why not treat yourself to some sweet self love this Valentine's day? You could never spoil yourself with too much love, too much chocolate yes, but too much love, we think not. 

In Eastern religions like Buddhism, the Heart Chakra, also known as the Anahata, is the fourth primary chakra. The heart chakra is the center of love, compassion and joy and is known for passing love through your life. Through your Anahata you create deep and strong connections with others, you connect to your sense of caring and compassion, kindness, respect and most importantly, self love. As we have all heard, the only way to love another is by loving yourself first, so why not make this Valentine’s day a day for giving and self-love. Give to yourself, show some appreciation for the person that you are. 

By opening up your heart chakra you are sending out love and kindness to those that are around you and of course, to yourself. Love is said to be the only real unifying force that we have in this life. So, even if you are someone who is in a romantic relationship, don't forget to connect to the love you have inside of yourself, feel it, own it, and share it with those you care about.

If you are one of the lucky ones to have enough love to go around, you can even share love and kindness to the person working at your local supermarket, bus driver, or coffee shop barista. It's a new year for love and greatness, be open and go for it.

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.
