If you are considering starting your Microloc Journey 

OR 

Already started here are some quick facts

MOST COMMON ISSUES: 

• SOFT HAIR PROBLEMS: slippage and unraveling

• CURLY HAIR PROBLEMS: frizz

• COARSE HAIR PROBLEMS: shrinkage and frizz

• STRAIGHT HAIR PROBLEMS: slippage and unraveling

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE: 

• MAINENANCE SCHEDULES: varies based on how fast or slow your hair grows usually 4-6 weeks; max 8 weeks via interlocking

• ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE: locksmithing or instant matting frizz.

• CHOOSE YOUR STYLIST WISELY: I recommend that you stick to one loctician instead of multiple people because everyone may not be as thorough with your maintenance

• TRANSFER CLIENTS: repairs and maintenance can be costly and time consuming depending on the state of the locs. Starting at $300 and requires a consultation. Locs that are smaller than my average installs take longer to service and will cost more.

BOOKING: 

• I recommend booking your follow up before your leave your current appointment.

•  Book at least 2 weeks in advance because spots fill fast.

• Not following recommendations can result to loc damages that need repairs and can become expensive. Follow the recommendation of your styles to have a smooth loc journey. 

HOW TO CARE FOR THE LOCS: 

• Avoid wetting them often especially with extensions it can lead to slippage. 

• Braid and band when washing your hair and let the hair dry completely before removing the braids. 

• You can blow dry but use a heat protectant spray.

•  Use a satin bonnet or satin pillowcase. 

• Avoid conditioners and cream it can soften the hair and cause slippage especially with extensions. It can also leave build up.
