Where's the cream?

As you may or may not have noticed, Dr. Locs doesn’t carry a cream or locking butter. Our theory is different from most: your locs will mature and lock via a technique or patience. A cream or gel never makes a loc lock faster. 

 

Over the years, the Natural Hair Lady would service loc clients with build-up and flakage problems. Most of these problems stemmed from heavy produce used for grooming. Overtime, Dr. Locs was developed to prevent build-up and to clean up flaky scalp issues. 

 

Most creams and butters on the market promise to “hold” or “lock” hair. Although, these substances may give the allusion that the hair will stay, this doesn’t lock the hair. Instead, the hair holds onto those creams or butters until it seeps to the surface of the loc appearing as a white film.

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.
