Microlocs are locs that are smaller than the size of a pencil.

Twist: are two-strand twists usually started with a braid when extensions are added

Interlocking: is pulling the hair through with a crochet tool in clockwise rotations from the end of the hair to the root (this method is used to create sisterlocks)

Braids- three strands of hair intertwined into a braid from root to ends

(Sisterlocks): Sisterlocks are the brand name for interlocking that require training from a sister loctician to be able to identify the locs as sisterlocks. Otherwise, they would be called microlocs or interlocs. 

All methods are interlocked at the root and interlocked for maintenance

**I do not offer sisterlocks and am not a sister loctitian. I do offer interlocks,microlocs, and the other above listed starter loc methods.**

Microbraided starter locs: all hair types (relaxed or natural, fine or thick, soft, curly, or coarse)

Microtwisted start locs: (natural hair, coarse, thick hair)

Interlocks for: all hair types 

An install can take between 1-2 days depending on your head size, starter loc size, and hair state. 

Microtwist starter locs and traditional loc attachments usually take 1 day.

Microbraid starter locs can take 2 days.

Interlocs can take between 2-3 days. 

****Special prices are offered at various times and are good only during those specified times**

• With any extension service or loc service you can expect to have slippage and frizz within the first few months.

• The hair pattern will change from what it originally looked like at the initial install.

• Over time the hair will matte and become what is called a mature loc.

• Maintenance and repairs are offered to my clients throughout the loc journey.

• Get ready to experience hair growth and the light weight of the locs.

• Frizz is normal and is necessary for the strength and forming of a loc.

• If you have damaged hair please follow my recommendations for hair growth for the best results.

• Maintenance is ever 4-6 weeks and if you pass that time additionals fee incur do to the extended times that will be needed for the service.

• Extensions are added to give length. 

• They are not used to increase thickness. 

• They are added at the same thickness as your hair.

•  If you try to add extensions for fullness they will eventually slip and appear bigger than the rest of the hair. 

• To install permanent starter loc extensions, they are added via feed-in braid and twisted or braided to the end. Then the root of the hair is interlocked.

•  To attach extensions that are already locked they are combined with your hair with an instant locking tool. 

• Extensions are installed for the fullness and length.

• The install involves adding the hair as you would box braids and then either twisting or braiding the hair to the ends. They can be interlocked at the root as well. 

• Maximum wear is 3 months before needing to be removed. They are not intended to be permanent

• Because they are starter locs you can expect frizz and there is minimal that can be done to tame the frizz over time because they are temporary you would need to get them redone.

• Maintence is limited because they are temporary. They usually get redone instead of a retie.

•  Silk bonnet

• Moisturize with water in a mist spray bottle and oil as needed for dryness,

• No Creams, conditioners, or lotions in the hair unless otherwise recommended by me.

•  Pink hair oil moisturizer lotion (scalp relief or original) may be used (rub it in thoroughly and apply low heat) 

• Do not wash until after 6 weeks and be sure to braid the hair down and leave it braided until fully dry

• Avoid playing in your hair and rubbing through it to reduce slippage

• Braid down at night to reduce frizz or you can use magic fingers braiders mousse to help with frizz 

• For itch, you can use an anti-itch leave-in conditioning spray, tea tree oil, or peppermint oil

• Avoid cotton 

• The less you wet your hair the better. 

• Kaleidascope drops or wild growth hair oil for thinning or balding hair.

• For extreme condition of hair lose use minoxidil drops (Nioxin brand)

• For thinning and breaking hair use Nioxin shampoo for anti-thinning.

Please follow up in 4-6 weeks for microloc maintenance which includes interlocking your new growth. I complete small repairs during this time as well. Instant locking of flyaways and frizz is also done as needed. I offer a complimentary hair wash if needed after the first install only. 

Major repairs that are timely require a separate appointment if I was not advised before booking. 

It is recommended to send a picture of your hair when you book each retie.

**Please do not go past 6 weeks for required maintenance if  I did not recommend it.** 

Damage can include locs combining, unraveling, large amounts of slippage, extreme frizz, etc.

Completing your own reties is not recommended nor having multiple locticians as it can complicate your journey and require excessive repairs that can be costly.

The more your hair grows the longer the retie will take.
