I do not offer this service to clients anymore but I wanted to share this method with you guys because:

1. The clients get to see results immediately, without having to wait months for their hair to loc.

2. I don't have to apply heat or make them sit under a dryer with clips.

3. Touch ups last longer.

4. I don't have to use any products. I personally feel like some products make your hair collect dust/lint or they might have harsh ingredients for your scalp. I only use natural oils if any dryness is visible on the scalp. My favorite scalp dressings are Jojoba oil from Shea Moisture and Sulfur 8 scalp moisturizer.

This is the second time I do this client’s hair after starting the instant locs. This video was filmed during his first root touch up. I unraveled one of his locs to demonstrate this technique since they haven’t fully locked yet.

The sectioning of your parts will be the base of the hairstyle. I included a diagram of the most commonly suggested ways to part the hair; brick or oval method. Whatever method you use, keep in mind that you should never align your locs vertically (no checkers board/grid pattern!) to avoid causing gaps in your scalp. It's better to do the locs small and then in time if you want them thicker, you can blend them together. If you make your locs too thick from the beginning, you will have a very hard time separating them. As a loc grows, it gets longer and heavier, make sure the base is a decent size to hold the weight of the growth.

Comment with any questions you might have so I can help you get started on your loc journey! I will add more steps as I see your comments. Enjoy the quick tutorial!
