Starter Locs & Extensions

Starter Locs & Extensions are where I carefully set the foundation for the loc journey you truly want-whether that means beginning with your natural hair, choosing instant locs, or adding human-hair extensions for length and fullness.

For traditional starter locs, I focus on clean parting, appropriate sizing for your density, and a method that matches your texture and lifestyle. I explain what to expect through the baby, budding, teenage, and mature stages so you are prepared for frizz, shrinkage, and how often to maintain in those early months.

If you prefer to skip the loose starter phase, instant locs may be a better fit. Using a crochet method, I form mature-looking locs from your natural hair during the appointment, giving you a settled loc look from day one while still allowing your hair to grow and thicken over time.

For human-hair loc extensions, I custom match size, length, and texture so your extensions blend naturally with your own hair. This can be used to start a full head of locs, add length to existing ones, or fill in missing or thinning areas. I secure each extension with methods that respect your roots and minimize long-term stress on your scalp.

Throughout every service, I keep you informed about maintenance schedules, retwist or interlocking options, wash routines, and how to protect your new locs while you sleep or work out.

If you are unsure which path is right for you, start with a consultation. When you are ready to begin or transform your loc journey with intention, book your appointment so I can create a look that feels like you from the very first day.
