Two ties, three ties we all scream for ties. These beautiful “Tied Loc Styles“ are held in place with Lilla Rose hair jewelry. An XL flexi is used for both. The Flexis come in seven different sizes ranging from mini to mega. They don’t cut into the hair or cause undo tension, you can wear them all day…pinky promise! http://www.lillarose.biz/cathythomas
I so miss our times together, life has been busy to say the least and I’ve not taken the time to blog. Will do better, pinky promise! The most recent exciting thing that has happened was that Locs of Luv celebrated its 4th Year Anniversary in its current location and not a peep was made! Shame, shame, shame!!! Enough of the lamenting already. I thank God for keeping the doors open another year, I thank him for all of the clients that have entrusted me with caring for their beautuful heads of hair, thank you for being here to read my blogs. Here’s to prayerfully another great year! Happy 4th Year Anniversary to Locs of Luv! The roses are for you!
Keep It Simple Styles adorned with Lilla Rose hair jewely…Ready for the weekend!
Welcome home to Sisterlocks! It was indeed a joyous occasion to see so many sisters and brothers come together in one place. The bond that existed there was heartwarming and refreshing. Sisters and brothers came from all over the United States and abroad. It was truly a time of celebration. I offer much gratitude to Dr. JoAnne Cornwell, originator of this great hair movement. If you’re considering Sisterlocks for your next hair style, keep in mind that’s it’s not just another hairstyle but a lifestyle. It’s one that will liberate you on many levels.

In the flow of keeping styles simple after retightenings here’s what two of my clients styled out of the door with today. A little twist here and there, a few bobbi pins coupled with beautiful hair jewelry and they’re all smiles with cute styles.

Keeping styles simple after retightenings is key in not compromising your locks or your fragile hairline. After you’ve had your locks retightened the last thing you want to experience is a style where you can’t smile for fear of your locks snapping at the roots. Actually, we should be mindful of the tension on our locks at all times. Our hairline and locks are compromised when we repetitively wear styles where the locks are unduly stressed. A couple of weeks after your retighten when your locks have loosened up some, more elaborate styles can be experienced. Bobbi Pins with smooth ends as well as hair jewelry with smooth edges complement our locked hairstyles. Part with your hair jewelry that has sharp edges and teeth that can weaken your locks over time. Keep in mind your stylist can’t read your mind when she’s styling your hair, be sure to let her know if the style is too tight or if bobby pins or hair jewelry is causing you discomfort. Be kind, gentle and loving towards your locks…K.I.S.S. by Cathy
