Choosing the Right Method to Start Your Locs

When it comes to locs, anyone can get them, whether your hair is straight, wavy, or chemically relaxed. The first step is to schedule a consultation with a stylist who can assess your hair and recommend the best loc technique for your texture. Popular methods include two-strand twists, comb twists, interlocking, instant locs, and extension locs.
