First time putting a wig over my locs.

This wig was a struggle. I want to be able to put the wig on a go. This was not the case AT ALL. LOL. I almost gave up so many times, but I pushed through.

... Read moreWigs can offer versatility, especially for those with locs seeking a change. When trying to wear a wig over locs, it’s essential to consider the type of wig that best suits your locs, whether it’s synthetic or human hair. Using a wig cap can help secure the wig and provide a smoother surface. For those starting out, practicing at home can build confidence before wearing it out. Also, seeking advice from friends or watching tutorials online can be immensely helpful in mastering the art of wig application. Remember, wig installation takes practice—don’t give up! In the community of locs wearers, sharing your experiences and learning from others can enhance your wig journey. Be sure to explore various styles and techniques to find what works best for you. Every journey is unique, and embracing the challenges can lead to rewarding outcomes!

I am super excited!! I tried traditional locs in November and had 98 locs. Although I liked how they looked I took them out. This was because the lady didn’t listen to anything I wanted. She was very unprofessional and did my hair how SHE wanted and not how I requested. I went to her because she wa

My TIPS FOR GROWING YOUR LOCS!
#Lemon8Scrapbook - USE Oil ! I know a lot of people say that they don’t use hair oils but I feel like this is why my locs continue to be shiny and don’t break off from being brittle/dry! I use everything from Rosemary oil, to carrot oil, and Shea butter when it comes to my locs. I don’t do it

What I Wish I knew before I started my Locs…
Let me first say everyone is different especially when it comes to hair. 🫶🏼This was solely based on my experience after some thinking when I combed mine out. If I knew these things before I started I probably wouldn’t have combed them out. I’m looking forward to starting them over again. #locj

Coloring locs isn’t unsafe overprocessing without support is. Healthy loc color requires the right products, proper fillers, and respect for the hair’s strength over time. Longevity always comes first. #LocColor #HealthyLocs #LocEducation #NaturalHairCare #HairKnowledge

Wig install over locs ?
If you have locs and you want to wear wigs— definitely invest in a glueless wig! You don’t have to worry too much about the install and prep that would usually go into installing a wig? Comment if you want to see how it looks completely on ❤️ This hair is from @OQ hair 🫧 linked on my tiktok!
