Why does the interlocking set not include the locking spray?

Guess you noticed Dr Locs interlocking set is unique in the way that it doesn’t include the Dr Locs locking spray? 

Here’s why. 

At first, we were offering our complete set with all of our products in the product line. But as the Dr Locs community began to grow, we were getting more and more feedback from our people. There were groups of people buying the full set who wanted the deal but didn't need or didn't use the locking spray. Eventually they had bundles of Dr Locs’ locking spray, which started piling up. So naturally we responded to that. 

To Use the Locking Spray, or Not to Use the Locking Spray?

As Dr Locs was working as a professional loctician on locs born through interlocking, she didn’t use the locking spray as much as compared to those whose grooming involved palm rolling. The cases when Dr Locs did use the locking spray on interlocked locs was when someone had flyaways or had interlocked with a finer hair type. 

Finer hair or flyaways can use the locking spray, even during the mature phase. Those flyaways which have not matured into the loc yet can be twisted into the root with the locking spray to create a finished look. Some people love it, and use the locking spray even with interlocked locs, but others find it not all that necessary for their grooming routine. 

Takeaway 

If your grooming and maintenance routine is followed through with the interlocking method, our locking spray in the Dr Locs’ line isn’t essential. That being said, if you did want to use the locking spray on your interlocked locs, you absolutely can. We recommend using the locking spray on interlocked locs if you have a finer hair texture, or if you really want that ‘tight’ finished look, to tuck away any of those flyaways. And that’s all there is to 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.
