Q How do I lock my hair?
THE FIVE STAGES OF LOCKING ARE:
A.1. Pre-lock stage - (1-3 mos.) Baby locks, the beginning stage of locking. the hair is parted into 1/2 - 3/4 inch sections and combed coiled into in dividual locks. Baby locks have a smooth, shiny texture and Are open at the ends . every 3-5 weeks hair should be shampooed, Conditioned and re-twisted.
2..Budding stage (3-4 mos.) - Each section begins to bond and hold Together (mash) forming a lock. the ends or middle of each lock begins To"Puff up"and expand in size.the locks are no longer glossy, thin and Smooth as in the baby lock stage.in this stage the hair is a little difficult To control giving the head a unkempt look. Here is where patience and the client's level of commitment are tested.
3. Growing stage (6-14 mos.) - The locking process
Starts at the middle or end of lock, (at least 1 inch from the scalp). As The
lock begins to length - en the shaft becomes solid and closed at the End.
4. Maturing Stage (18 to 36 months of growth & grooming.) - Mature Locks are completely interlaced from the closed tip to the base, not including the new growth (at least 1inch from scalp ). Hair should be shampooed, hot oil treated and retwisted every three to five weeks.
5. Atrophy Stage- After several years of maturing locks(between seven And ten years the lock may become weaken or otrophy at the ends.the Smaller the lock, the more fragile and more atrophy will occur.this Atrophy stage usually occurs at the nape of the neck and around the Frontal and peripheral hairlines. when the client's hair start to weaken Make sure it is part of the natural locking pocess and not due tophysical Or emotional stress.consult your technician.
