    My unpopular opinion on the Debate Dreadlocks Vs Locs

    November 9, 2021 /

    Dreadlocks vs locs: what’s the difference? The question of locs vs dreadlocks is one that many people seem to be asking these days. Personally, I think it’s the new age of social media that sprouts this question. In this brief article, we will dive in and discuss if there is a difference between dreadlocks vs locs or is it just a matter of referencing the same hairstyle. Before we continue, let me express that this article is an opinion piece. While I will try to provide facts wherever necessary, the bulk of this information will be my opinion.

    Working out with Locs – Tips for Your Retwist and Scalp

    July 2, 2020 /

    Exercising or working out with Locs is doable! Maintaining locs while working out or living an active lifestyle is not as difficult as some people may think. I have been working out with locs ever since I started them (1 year ago), as well as I have been helping my husband with his starter locs since he started them back in April. What I’ve learned from both of our journeys is that the care needed after working out is different for both of us. For me, after exercising with locs there isn’t much that I have to do. I don’t sweat as much as well as I do not like…

    The best length to start dreads often depends on the method that you are planning to use to start your locs. Continue reading as I will provide more detailed information answering the question of ‘how long does my hair need to be to start dreads?’. When I started my first set of locs, I started them with finger coils, which is a common method of starting locs on 4c curly hair. I had about 8 inches of hair at that time, being that I had been growing my natural hair for a long time, over 2 years. I ended up discontinuing that loc journey. On my second journey, I started…

    Methods of starting locs. Starting locs is an important and memorable moment for many people but it can also cause concern and worry. If you are considering locs, you may know that there are many methods to choose from and each has its advantages and disadvantages.  When you first decide to start locs, you must think of what is most important to you or your personality type. Are you more free-spirited, then perhaps freeform locs may be for you, are you more reserved and high maintenance, then perhaps sisterlocks, small or medium size locs may be better for you. Apart from that, important things to consider are (1) the length…

    How to Start Locs with Two Strand Twists – Two-strand twist dreadlocks

    October 3, 2019 /

    Two strand twists locs are fun and often the choice for thick locs. Starting Locs with two-strand twist is the traditional way of achieving locs as a hairstyle. Growing up, I saw many people starting their locs with two stand twists. However, for my first set of locs, I decided to start them with finger coils and I was pleased with that decision so I used the same method to restart my locs after cutting the first set.  With two stand twists locs, your locs will generally form thicker than if you start them with finger coils. If thick locs are your heart’s desire then starting locs with two-strand twist…

    May 30, 2019 /

    Yes, you can comb out your locs, as well as you can cut off your locs and start fresh. At some point in every loc journey, the question of do I love my locs? or it might be, do I like how my locs are forming ? will arise. For some, the answer is a solid yes! For others, the answer is no. Having the answer as no, I do not love my locs will then bring the question of what do I do now? In this post, we will get into answering that question.
