Loc Techniques

Techniques:

Styling locs is the meat and potatoes of your service. Styles change with the times. Knowing the foundation of styles will give you an advantage through changing trends For example: the Loc Bobb is on fire right now! In a few months another style will be trending but please believe you will have clients still wanting that Loc Bobb for years to come. Skills are timeless.

I’d love to show you step-by-step how to do some trending loc styles through my YouTube channel (Purebellelocs904 ) or Loc Pro University. Scan the QR Code to see Youtube Tutorials.

The basics of loc maintenance consist of locing techniques, product knowledge, and styling skills.

There are three locing techniques:

Palm Rolling

Interlocking

Crocheting

Palm Rolling is the most common locing technique. You maintain the loc by gathering the new growth and rolling the loc clockwise between your hands. Rolling the loc from mid hand to palm. Repeat this until the new growth is smooth and laid down. Apply clips and dry the locs.

Interlocking is a technique used for active, tender-headed, and clients with curly hair Using an interlocking tool you want to create a “T” which will put small knots in the new growth until it’s tightened to the roots of the locs. Follow these directions: Insert hook from bottom to top, left to right, bottom to top, right to left. Repeat this pattern until all new growth is tightened. Make sure you leave some wiggle room next to the scalp while tightening. This gives room for the hair to draw up once it’s dry

Clients live by the hair myth, "If it’s tight, it’s being done right."

Interlocking can hurt. I express to my clients, “Please speak up. If you feel it now, you will feel it later
