Loc Maintenace & Up-do

Soooo... "The #1 Loc-star" is back. :)   She really likes this style, even though during the beginning stage of explaining, she was skeptical. I'm glad it turned out really cute or I would've had to deal with "Lil miss-prissy"  here. Hope you enjoy, too!

WASH, CONDITIONED, HOT OIL TREAT. & RINSE :

Step 1. Wash with TJ's Nourish Spa Balanced Moisturizing Shampoo. Smooth each loc from root to end until hair is fully coated/ saturated. Massage scalp. 

Step 2. Lightly rinse shampoo from locs with cool/warm water. Give locs a gentle squeeze to relapse access water.

Step 3. Apply about a half-dollar size amount of Oyin HandMade Honey Hair Hemp Moisturizing Conditioner to the ends of locs.

Step 4: Add hot oil mix (EVOO, grapeseed oil) to ends of locs, on top of the Honey Hair Hemp Conditioner.

Step 5: Cover all locs with plastic cap & allow mixture to sit on locs for 20 minutes.

Step 6: After 20 minutes, rinse locs thoroughly with warm water.

Step 7: Microfiber towel blot hair or t-shirt blot hair  ( I don't use regular bath towels because they over dry the hair and can leave little lint balls on her locs)

 STYLING AIDS & STYLING

Step 1. Begin sectioning hair to get set for this style. Start by making a part that extends from ear to ear. Section top portion off for later.

Step 8. Continue to apply a dab of Alleluia Loc Butter to root, twist, & clip down loc. 

Step 9. Allow hair to dry mostly. (Airdry or dryer)

Step 10. Remove hair clips

Step 11. Time to style. Start with gathering locs at nape first. Pull individual locs toward middle of head. Loosely wrap a small black rubber band around locs 1x to hold in place. 

Step 12. Repeat the gathering process up the middle of the head 5x's, until u have 5 rubber banded sections. 

Step 13: Pin each of the 4 sections into pinwheel type balls. The front, 5th section, pin into a pompadour (optional).
