Starter locs (beginner locs) is the beginning of the loc process. When starting locs you can remain in the beginner stage anywhere from three to six months. Every person is different and your loc journey depends on several different factors.

The most commonly used methods to start locs are comb coils, two strand twist, individual braids, and free form.

Comb coils is a traditional method of starting locs. Coils are done by using an all natural. dreadlock serum (No gel, No wax) and a dreadlock coil comb. This process is usually done by a Dreadlock specialist who is also known as a “Loctician”. This method is our number one chosen process.

This method is done by parting the hair and putting two strand in your entire head. It will usually take about one year for the two strand to disappear. It does take longer to loc your hair using this method. This method is also done by a loctician. 

This method is done by parting the hair and braiding the hair into individual braids. This method takes the longest to loc. However, the hair is less frizzy using this method. It will take about one year to a year and a half for the lines of the locs to disappear. 

Free form is done by simply allowing your hair to grow out and never touching your hair. You will only need to see a professional for your shampoo sessions and your moisturizing treatment sessions.  

Once you have started your locs it is very important to care for your locs and to follow the directions from your loctician. This will ensure a smooth locking process. One you start your loc process our dreadlock specialist will give you clear directions on how to protect your beautiful locking journey. 

YES, YES, and YES. We are highly experienced with all hair textures. Every hair texture is able to lock. We have several different methods we use for different hair textures. 

Use a light leave-in conditioner and light oils to moisturize your locs. Do Not use heavy products as they do cause buildup. 

Please book a detox session with one of our highly skilled locticians. Detox is a solution mixed together and used on your hair to breakup the buildup in locs. We only recommend you to get a detox 1-2 times per year.

We do not recommend getting a hair color and a detox in the same day. However, this depends on the healthiness of the hair. Each client is different. 

Palm rolling is a method used to maintain the new growth on your locs by rolling the hair in between your hands and securing the twisted hair in the same direction.

Interlocking is done by using a interlocking tool to sew together the new growth. Interlocking dreadlocks requires following a specific pattern with the help of a interlocking tool. If interlocking is done incorrect it can cause loc damage. This is why it is very important to seek a professional when choosing the interlocking method. 

Healthy and well maintained hair can be styled. We do not recommend styling locs that are weak and breaking. If your locs are weak we recommend you to book a dreadlock repair session, or a dreadlock repair hair treatment.
