Take it from us, we LOVE experimenting with different Locticians so we have curated our top 3️⃣ tips on how to find the perfect Loctician:
1️⃣ Atmosphere & Vibes: your Loctician is going to be all up in your hair, you need to makesure you feel comfortable and trust 🫱🏾🫲🏿 whoever is going to handle your locs. You know what they say, first impressions are lasting ones and from the moment you step into the salon 💇🏾♀️ and to the moment you leave, you can instantly tell if this is the place for you. Are you acknowledged and served right away (if pre-booked)? Does you Loctician offer advice on how to manage your locs?
2️⃣ The wash 💆🏾♀️: if your eyes don’t roll to the back of your head, they ain’t washing your locs right. Simple as that.
3️⃣ Price 🤑: now this will vary depending on your hair type, length, if you’re getting a wash too and style but for a retwist (including a wash) by a certified and seasoned Loctician, we recommend that you should be paying anything from £50 - £70 💷
Let us know below your tips on finding the perfect Loctician 👇🏾
With locs, less really is more.
Water and oils as daily moisturisers really do hit the spot ✅
Here are some of my favourite essential oils must-haves (please always dilute your essential oils before use or read the guidelines!):
🌳Tea Tree
🌿Peppermint
🌿Rosemary
Almond, mint and carrot oil are some other great moisturising oils I love 🖤!
