Hey loc girlies, so the short answer is YES…
I’m sharing this because I know we’ve all been there... & if you haven’t, I pray you never have to! I had a major setback early in my loc journey. I went to someone who was supposed to be experienced, but they used some weird edge control mixture that wreaked havoc on my scalp! I mean, we’re talking breakage, thinning, the whole nine yards. I was so hurt and frustrated, I almost shaved my head! But I’m so glad I didn’t, because if I had, I would’ve missed out on the beauty that was to come. So, here’s what this setback taught me: 1) always know what products are going onto your locs/scalp. You know your hair better than anyone else, and 2) reach out to a loc expert for help when things go wrong. I was fortunate enough to have friends/family who’ve been loc’d for a long time who were there to support. And honestly, having this community to talk to is clutch. I’m always here to answer your questions or concerns. So please don’t hesitate to se...
