YOUR NATURAL
HAIR AND LOC'S ARE BEAUTIFAL! ! WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE YOU APART OF THE FAMILY!.. ADVICE, ADVICE, ADVICE
WILL HELP YOU ON MAINTAINING, TREATING, STYLING AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF FOR YOUR HAIR.. YOUR LOCS
SHOULD BE FULL OF LIFE AND WE'RE HERE TO HELP! TAKING CARE OF YOUR HAIR WASHING:
I RECOMMEND WASHING HAIR AT LEAST ONCE EVERY
3-4 WEEKS (THATS ALSO DEPENDING ON THE DAILY ACTIVITY). YOU WANT TO USE A SHAMPOO THTS GOING TO CLEANSE HAIR
WITH OUT LEAVING RESIDUE IN YOUR LOCS. (I.E. 100% ALOE SHAMPOO) IF LOCS ARE VERY DIRTY YOU MAY
WANT TO "DETOX" YOUR HAIR BEFORE WASHING. ASK YOUR STYLIST ABOUT
THIS SERVICE! CONDITIONING:
YOU MUST CONDITION YOUR HAIR! ! ! ITS THE SOLUTION FOR THE DRYNESS OF YOUR LOCS. YOUR CONDITIONER WILL
ADD MOISTURE TO HAIR, KEEP YOUR LOCS FROM BREAKING OVER TIME. APPLY CONDITIONER AND LET SIT FOR 3-5 MINS IS FINE.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE A DEEP CONDITIONER LET SIT IN HAIR FOR 15 MINS AND APPLY HEAT, THAT WILL DO IT! FOR COLORED LOCS A
DEEP CONDITIONER IS A MUST! ! ! ! YOU WILL SEE YOUR COLOR LASTING LONGER, YOUR LOCS WILL FEEL LIGHTER, AND ALSO YOU WILL BE
MINIMIZING THE BREAKAGE (DAMAGE) FROM THE COLORING PROCESS. TWISTING:WHEN TWISTING YOUR HAIR YOU OR
YOUR STYLIST CAN DECIDE WHICH METHOD IS BEST. I PREFER MY OWN 3-FINGER METHOD ROLL. THERES ALSO THE LATCH-HOOK
METHOD, PALM ROLLING METHOD AND THE COMB TIGHTENING METHOD. EACH METHOD DEPENDS ON THE LENGTH AND TEXTURE OF THE HAIR.
YOU WANT TO USE A MORE GEL OR CREAM BASED PRODUCT WHILE TWISTING INSTEAD OF A WAX BASED PRODUCT BECAUSE THE WAX HOLDS
DIRT AND WILL CAUSE BUILD-UP ON AND IN THE HAIR. A GOOD START OFF PRODUCT IS TWIST-N-LOC (HONEY / ALOE FORMULA).
PUT
A SMALL AMOUNT OF LOCKING GEL ON THE UNTWISTED HAIR YOU ARE ABOUT TO TWIST. TWIST CLOCKWISE UNTIL ALL UNTWISTED HAIR IS TWISTED
DOWN PLACE A DUCK
CLIP TO HOLD IN PLACE ONCE
ALL LOCS ARE TIGHTEN APPLY HEAT TO DRY HAIR EITHER BY A BLOW DYER OR A HOODED DRYER FOR 15-20 MINS ( LONGER IF NEEDED).
ONCE DRIED STYLE AS DESIRED!
STYLING: LET YOUR IMAGINATION GO!!!!!. LOCS CAN BE STYLED IN KNOTS,
MOHAWK, BRAIDED, CLASSIC, CRINKLED JUST TO NAME A FEW. I'LL LEAVE THE REST TO YOU!!!!!!!
FOR COLORED LOCS A DEEP CONDITIONER IS A MUST! ! ! ! YOU WILL SEE YOUR COLOR
LASTING LONGER, YOUR LOCS WILL FEEL LIGHTER, AND ALSO YOU WILL BE MINIMIZING THE BREAKAGE (DAMAGE) FROM THE COLORING PROCESS.
Considering locs? Purebelle' specializes in cultivating long, lush, healthy locs. Hairlocking
is a process that occurs when tightly coiled or spiraled hair develops in its natural state, without combing or the use of
chemicals. We offer several options for starting locs including Comb Twists, Two Strand Twists and Interlocking.
A consultation with a stylist will help you to identify which method is right for you.
For shorter lengths (4" or less), we recommend
the Comb Twist method. Comb Twists are small cylindrical shaped curls
formed using a barber comb in a diagonal or bricklayer pattern. The initial installation takes approximately 2 hours. For
maintenance, we suggest clients schedule appointments every 3-4 weeks. We use the Palm Roll Method, a technique of rolling
each individual section to encourage uniform growth.
For longer lengths
(5" or more) and Loc Resistant Hair (straighter textures) we recommend the Two Strand Twist and Interlocking
Methods. Two Strand Twists are two sections of hair double twisted to form a consistent rope like pattern.
Interlocking is a process using a crochet hook where the lock is woven into itself. The initial installation of these styles
can last up to 8 weeks before a maintenance appointment is required. Thereafter, clients are urged to schedule regular maintenance
appointments every 4-6 weeks. Many clients opt for these two methods over the Comb Twist Method because the required maintenance
is less and with the Interlocking Method, hair can be shampooed without disturbing the maintenance.
We also offer
loc extensions. Loc extensions are ideal for individuals who desire to have instant locs. Loc Extensions are a braided
or twisted base that is attached to hair and cylindrically wrapped using human hair. This process takes several
hours to complete and is recommended for clients who wish to grow out their natural locs using this method. In other words,
we do not recommend loc extensions for individuals who desire to wear them for a short while. Loc Extensions are also great
for clients with mature locs that need repair and/or lengthening.
Clients must schedule a consultation appointment with a stylist at least
30 minutes prior to arrival time. Consultations are scheduled for one guest per consultation and are complimentary for our clients. During
your consultation the following will be discussed: estimmated styling time, ty
We understand that each client is different and has different
needs. We take into consideration that every hairstyle is not for every hair condition. Some styles can be damaging depending
on the condition of your hair, scalp or hairline. A consultation is a very important opportunity to freely express your concerns,
ask questions and fully understand the services available. This is also a valuable time for your stylist to actually see your
hair, scalp, and hairline and learn more about you and your lifestyle.
To fully evaluate your hair
condition, your hair must be free of any extensions and should be in its natural state (i.e. not flat ironed or pressed).
Certain natural hair extension styles can be performed on chemically processed hair so contact the salon to find out more
specific consultation information. Your stylist will help you choose a style that looks great and offers the maximum benefits
for you. For more information, or to find out about our available times, please call 904*386*0801
