CIients are surprised when they discover a Loc has broken and fallen from their hair When they come in for an Octavia's Natural Hair Care Experience service visit, they recall the entire experience.And, my my my, the clients tend to find their broken Locs in the strangest places. For example, while at work, one client discovered a Loc on floor. (Oh Snap!)Another client reported finding a Loc on her bed pillow or in random places on the floor in their homes; just to name a few.
Because Loc Breakage is real, I have three tips to share with you.
1. Recall when was the last time your Locs were maintained. For some folks, fours weeks is the absolute maximum time period they can go without maintainece.
Alternately, I spoke with a person who maintained their Locs only once a year.... with no problems too. (Yikes! If I did that, I would be bald!) For others, 8 weeks is max. Because this, I recommend that you learn what works for you.Simply, ask your Locktician.
2. Alternate your hair styles
Have you been wearing a tight ponytail or sporting a hairstyle with tight tension? Please remember hairstyles with a lot tension at the roots creates unnecessary stress
the hair. Long story made short, it’s a recipe for a hair disaster
3. SAVE Your Locs
Bring your loc to your next appointment. Your skilled Locktician may be able to attach your loc. Helpful tip: you should expect to pay for your reattachment service. Charges can go anywhere for $5 and up per loc

Until Next time, Loc Love
