When you think knowing how to work some locking needles is all you need to do permanent locs. 😵‍💫 BUT my last student said the first time she ever heard the words proper parting for hair density (part to loc ratio) and planning for the swell (when the client's hair buds) -- was in her course with me. The biggest myth I see with aspiring and seasoned permanent loc stylists is that they believe knowing how to instant loc or use double/triple prong needles is the gateway to success with permanent locs👀🙃 If you've been loc'ing hair without using the right tools and proper strategy based on hair type you're just setting yourself up for those daunting "hey i loss half my locs 🫣" texts from your clients. Because creating a flourishing clientele ain't gonna happen if the locs can't stay in. So, before you look at another tik tok or YouTube video on "how to do loc extensions" the best way to get it right is learning about the best loc'ing tools and how different hair types loc and mature. Come back for part ✌🏾
