Lessons I've learned from Locking Hair

16. After each lock maintence session, ask for a "lock check up".

A "lock check up" is a status check on the progress of your locks. ( I made the phrase up.)
By "lock check up", I mean simply ask your locktician, how your hair is doing? Often, lockticians see the damage or progress of your hair before you do. In addition, "lock check ups" offer you the opportunity to learn more about your hair. I will provide you with an example.
During a lock maintience session, I may notice that my client's hair is dryer than normal. Below is a typical "lock check up" conversation:
Client: How my hair is doing?
Octavia: Wow, your hair is really dry. What have you been doing?
Client: I bought this great new leave-in conditioner.
Octavia: Please discontinue using that product. Why did you decide to select that product?

In the end, the client and I brainstorm about a possible new product that works better for their hair type.

Always remember, beautiful locks are cultivated; locks must be nourished properly!
