Common Mistakes When Starting Locs (And How to Avoid Them)

Starting locs is exciting, but many new starters face unnecessary setbacks that could be avoided with a little guidance.

Mistake 1: Poor Sectioning: Uneven sections lead to locs that vary in size and shape. Have a professional map your sections before starting.

Mistake 2: Over-Washing Early: Your locs need time to form. Too much washing too soon can loosen budding locs.

Mistake 3: Skipping Scalp Care: Healthy locs grow from a healthy scalp. Start your loc journey with proper cleansing and moisturizing from day one.

Mistake 4: Not Protecting Overnight: Sleeping without protection leads to unnecessary frizz and dryness. A satin lined skull cap or bonnet is essential.
