... Read moreWorking with clients who span different generations can be both challenging and rewarding—especially when it comes to hairstyling and maintaining locs. I once had a unique experience with an elderly client who wanted to keep their locs stylish but also appreciated a bit of fun, ratchet music during the session. It was a balancing act: respecting their age and preferences while bringing my own youthful energy to the atmosphere. I found that incorporating classic tunes alongside some lively, upbeat tracks helped bridge the generational gap and made the experience enjoyable for both of us. This approach also helped create a relaxed vibe where the client felt comfortable sharing stories, and I could express my personality. When styling locs, it's important to understand the cultural roots and personal significance behind the styles your clients choose, and this connection strengthens trust. Atlanta loc styles have their own unique flair, often blending traditional and modern influences. For hairstylists, tapping into hashtags like #locs, #atllocs, and #locstyles on social media can be a great way to stay inspired and discover new trends or techniques. Ultimately, whether your client is elderly or young, maintaining respect while having fun creates the best environment for styling and client satisfaction. This blend of professionalism and personal expression is what keeps the art of loc styling vibrant and meaningful.

Multiple bras in various colors (purple, white, peach, light blue) are soaking in soapy water in a sink. Overlay text reads, 'Tbh if it doesn't smell bad, i ain't washing it,' accompanied by a laughing emoji, reflecting a common opinion on bra washing frequency.
how many times do you wear a bra before wash?
I’ll usually wear mine twice but one of my coworkers said that’s gross. For context, I work in an area that’s kept at 40 degrees, so no sweating. I thought two days was fine and I buy rather expensive bras so I didn’t want to wash and wear them down too fast. Am I actually gross for that? #AskL
