As it is Children’s Day all over the world… let us present you with a valuable gift for your child.
More and more parents are preferring to loc their children’s hair these days. This is a difficult task that requires careful planning and research before commencing.
Once you’ve loc’d their hair, follow these five simple measures to keep those lovely locs clean and moisturized.
1. Look for a hairstylist who specializes in locs.
When you’re first starting out, it’s a good idea to meet with a loctician so they can either start the locs for you or provide you instructions on how to get started.
A loctician will be able to provide you with excellent guidance as well as product recommendations for your child’s hair.
2. Cleanse Locs on a Regular Basis
Make it a practice to wash your child’s locs on a regular basis. Sweat and grime build up on the scalp, causing bacteria to thrive and itching, which can lead to hair loss and scalp irritation.
They can maintain their locs clean by using a clarifying shampoo or an ACV rinse. Allow plenty of time for drying, which can take anywhere from one to twenty-four hours.
3. Moisturize Your Scalp
Massage a natural oil into the scalp on a daily basis to nourish new hair development and the scalp, as well as promote hair growth. This also protects the hair from breaking and maintains it healthy.
4. Don’t Retwist Too Frequently
Excessive manipulation, such as twisting, might result in root fracture and thinning. Hair can be styled in a variety of ways to keep it looking nice while also extending the time between re-twists.
5. Keep your hair safe at night
Just like with any other hairstyle for our curly cuties, sleeping with a satin hat or satin pillowcase at night is vital to preventing breaking.
Sleeping on satin helps preserve the moisture in your child’s hair and scalp, as well as protect the hair from unnecessary rubbing and friction.
