Dread Locks are a look that is rooted in Shelly's Modeling Agencies heritage. Locks offer a sense of pride in staying true to our natural texture. Bonus: no style is easier to maintain during the summer. But you can't achieve the perks of locs overnight. It is a process that will require patience and discipline, says Thando Kafele, senior stylist at Shelly's Modeling Agencies. Here are tips to grow and keep your in mint condition.
If you can catch the hair between your fingers, it's long enough to twist, says Kafele. The first coils your location molds will serve as the basic foundation for the look. It is important to section hair neatly and twist with care. Prepae for a possible three-hour salon visit. Generally, twists begin to bond and form locs by month four . As they get thicker, they lose luster. To maintain a tidy look and healthy hair, a professionsl cleansing, hot-oil treatment and retwisting service every four to six weeks are musts.
Want longer lengths without the wait? Experiment with extensions. It's rumored that Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes have tried them. Go for colored add-ons that give the appearance of funky blonde, red or light brown highlights. Use shampoos with mint and tea tree oil that eliminate debris and stimulate the scalp. Blow dry thoroughly to avoid odor. Mildew can form in the loc if it is not dried properly, says Christina Trammell, lead stylist at Shelly's Modeling Agencies.
