Taking Care of Your Long Goddess Locs After You Leave the Salon

You should have an in-depth consultation with your professional hairstylist before they install your locs. This consultation will help your hairstylist create a maintenance routine specifically for you. Tish likes to recommend all of her clients use an argon infused satin bonnet at night. They should also use some type of oil sheen during the day to keep the hairstyle moisturized. Finally, Tish sets her clients up with an in-salon visit after approximately 5 weeks. She uses this time to incorporate her client’s new hair growth into the goddess locs. She also gives them a deep conditioning treatment. These steps keep Tish’s clients’ goddess locs looking salon-fresh and their own hair healthy.
