CleanLocs Inspiration | I Am Made of Cocktails & Confetti, Are You?

I love this quote. To me it says a woman is like a cocktail of sorts. A sophisticated balance of hard liquor and sweet liqueur, that tastes like charm, class and confusion in equal parts. I feel similarly about myself and my hair...

I am, by dictionary and societal definitions, charming; or so I've been told. I can walk into a room full of people I've never met and speak as if I've known them for years, always finding something in common with everyone I meet.

Simultaneously I am able to discuss world issues, express opinions, and take part in witty banter while molesting your brain with a smile and twinkle in my eye. 

The rest of me is confetti. Small specks of happiness that fall in no particular order all over the chaos that is life. You find confetti when a child smiles at you when you're having a crummy day, or the money you found in the laundry.... 

Or the crown of luscious Locs that swirl around your impecably applied makeup or hang down grazing your best business blazer. They pique curiosity and spark intelligent debate in conservative hallways and I love every minute, as I hold this cocktail and shake confetti out my hair.

Mixed-Race Locs

#Toronto is such a diverse city that it isn't surprising that many of my clients are #mixedrace and have varying textures of hair that produce a plethora of exotic Locs.

From blackenese curls with straight ends, to corkscrew curls, to the chocolate brother with the silky ringlets.

Each head of Locs unique and beautiful in its own way.

One of the most common issues for mixed-race Locs is that they unravel easily and sometimes get "loops" or "pregnant" as the curl pattern is looser than those with more tightly coiled hair and tends to bunch up at random. 

This makes maintenance confusing for some because of the lack of information available geared specifically at mixed-race hair with Locs. 

This misinformation includes the need for wax, gel, string or even false hair.

Mixed-race hair Locs the same way Afro hair does; it just takes a little longer and is subject to a few anomalies like sometimes unraveling or bunching at the wrong time. 

#CleanLocs creates #NeatLocs by carefully pulling loose or looped hairs into another area to even out the Loc shaft.  

If you or someone you know is having issues with their Locs because of multiple hair-textures, odd curl patterns, loose hairs, loops in the Loc shaft, or just wickedly unruly fly-away hairs, suggest they book an appointment with #CleanLocs today!

CleanLocs #MCM | Lenny Kravitz

Do you remember?

Do you remember when this rock singer/song writer, multi instrumentalist, vocalist and producer rocked locs? One of his many popular songs "Believe" was written and produced when he was still on his loc journey. The song's main massage was to believe in yourself and anything is possible. Which lead me to wonder whether his loc experience influenced him to possess a positive attitude towards life. He usually wrote love and rock songs without his locs so it can be observed that his spirituality was heightened with his hair journey. 

What's your opinion? Do you think the loc journey can create a positive outlook for the individual? 

How has your loc journey influenced you life?
