LEARN MORE - LOC CARE 101

SCALP

- It is totally normal for scalp to feel sore, tender, or itchy after installation. 

- Lightly massage scalp, oil if needed, scalp should be back to normal in a couple of days. 

- May take-down style if needed. 

- Some clients who naturally have dry scalp may need to shampoo within two weeks. Contact LYL if concerned. 

- FIRST SHAMPOO & RETWIST (SR)

Retwisting is extremely important in the Extensions Aftercare process as it encourages client's natural hair to lock with the extensions and create a natural, cohesive look. Retwisting also helps train hair to lock faster, stay neater, and lay down. 


- First SR in 3-4 weeks, then every 2-3 weeks for the first 3 months, then every 2-4 weeks for the next 3 months, then 2-4 weeks or longer depending on your desired look.

- SR MUST be done with light, gentle pressure for the first 6 months and then moderate thereafter. 

- Do NOT retwist, neaten edges, or excessively style locs between visits/maintenance. 

- May use edge control to slick down edges; limit once a week.   

ATTACHMENT POINTS

- Avoid putting any stress on attachment points and limiting stress on extensions. 

- Do NOT cut any thread or fuzzy/loose hairs for approximately 6 months; just palm roll it back down. 

- To create a more compact look, palmroll at  attachment points to smooth out any bulkiness. 

- Do NOT get oil/grease on attachment points or extensions may slip.

​- Do not use leave-in conditioner more than once a day unless instructed.

 - No tight styles and avoid pins going through attachment points. 

- Periodically check attachment points to ensure extensions are attached securely. If an extension has slipped, you usually have a month to get it repaired before it completely detacches. 

EXTENSIONS

- Extensions are initially stiff and dry, it is important to follow moisturizing instructions. 

- Extensions usually start to soften and relax within a week but may take several months.

- Platinum, grey, and some red colors may be stiffer than darker colors. 

- Limit a stress on extensions (no excessive pulling). 

- Palmroll or twist the ends of extensions weekly to round out tips. Be sure only the ends are twisted NOT the roots. 


STYLES

- Do NOT excessively style locs between visits/maintenance.   

- No tight styles and avoid pins going through attachment points. 

- May use edge control to slick down edges; limit once a week.

- To keep a neater look and/or focus attention away from messy roots, consider styles like curls, crinkles, braids, rope twists, barrel rolls, and loc petals.

Questions / concerns?

​If you have questions or concerns feel free to contact LYL; its perfectly normal for a few locs to slip or need light repairs especially in problem areas and/or along hairline
