Lessons I've Learned From Locking Hair

54) Always inquire about the clients lifestyle when making regular hair care maintenance recommendations.

I installed locks into a new client's head. As usual, I rattled off the do's and don'ts when cultivating locks. The next day, the client sent a few texts inquiring about next steps. During the texting session, the client revealed that he is a ball player. OH MY!!! When rattling off the do's and don'ts, I told him to cover his head at night. What a big mistake!!! My 'usual' instructions were a recipe for creating stinky locks. Because I got more information about my client's lifestyle, I picked up the phone and told him to never wrap his head up when wet; he will create mildew. This minor tip will ensure my that new client loves his locks!! And for that, I am grateful!!

I sure love doing what I do!! I really care!!

Be well!

Lessons I learned from Locking Hair

53) You may not require a lot of hair products to cultivate your locks.

When I lock my client's hair, I do not use styling agents to create locks. To the lock wearers who opt to cultivate their locks traditionally, I respectfully offer the following tip:

• You may not require lots of styling agents to create your locks.

Why? Hair locks naturally! Styling agents can work against your locking process. Why? Styling agents tend to soften hair. To this end, I offer that you should really think about how much gel, beeswax or hair pudding that you are putting in your hair; especially if your is a softer hair texture.

Be well and make it a super day!!!
