5 Things to Consider Before Getting Loc Extensions

I know the excitement and anticipation that builds up when you have finally made the decision to wear your 1st loc extensions.

You've seen thousands of pictures on gram and suddenly you're feeling like the only one left out to try locs.

 I totally get the feeling but here are the first five things you should have in mind before you book that appointment with your locstylist.

♦️Healthy hair comes first

Before anything else, make sure your natural hair is in a healthy state. 

I always remind my clients that while Loc extensions are beautiful and transformative, they require a strong foundation. 

If your hair is weak, thinning, or experiencing scalp issues, we need to address that first before adding any weight or tension to your strands.

♦️Know your commitment level

Are you ready for the Loc life?

Loc extensions are a great way to achieve length and fullness instantly, but they still require maintenance and care.

Whether you plan to keep them temporarily, long-term or transition into natural locs, it’s important to know what level of upkeep you’re comfortable with.

♦️ Understand weight & length

The longer and thicker the extensions, the heavier they’ll be.

This can affect your scalp and hairline over time, especially if your natural hair isn’t strong enough to support the weight. 

During our consultation, we’ll discuss the best length and density for your hair type and lifestyle.

♦️ Budget accordingly

Quality takes time & skill.

You should know that handmade Loc extensions are an investment. 

From the crafting process to the install time and maintenance, you're paying for durability, aesthetic, and protective benefits. 

Be sure to budget not just for the install, but for touch-ups and future care.

♦️Be Ready to embrace the journey

Whether you're going for a permanent look or just testing the waters, Locs are a personal and powerful style choice. 

It’s more than just a hairstyle but also a journey of self-expression, patience, and pride.

Make sure you’re emotionally and mentally ready for that experience.
