Using Loc Recycling to Extend Loc Lengths

Between ponytail holders and having one's back resting on longer locs, the loc ends will break off. Some people trash their broken loc pieces. I don't. If it is an inch or longer then I collect them in a cosmetic bag.

I recycle my own Sisterlock pieces and decide where to extend my other loc lengths because I never really know where the loc broke off from originally.  In my Sisterlocks training classes, the instructors strongly discouraged extending Sisterlocks. However, since I self maintain my own Sisterlocks, I know how to tighten with added ridges in the  loc. In the picture above, I decided that I wanted to extend my bang area. It is sparse in the chin area. I want to change that.

It's my own hair, and I can do what I want to do with it. 

Boom! More length in my chin area!

That's a solid inch of fullness restored!

Custom Wig making for Loc wearers

Wig made by Benita Blocker, Loctician

I used a rain bonnet to protect my Sisterlocks from the bonding glue. I have a separate YouTube video uploaded on how to bind locs for a short wig.  https://youtu.be/QWqkZoDR2Tw

A Jumbo wig cap is needed for long locs.

I have a flat head so I formed the perfect head shape with that in mind. Wig cap over rain bonnet is a great protection combination.

Tapering the neck is optional for this wig style.

I decided to keep it "Tina Turner" freestyle.

I hope this article inspires custom Wig making and new hair color ideas.

Sisterlocks: Seven years and 8 months journey

Before the Coronavirus pandemic, I was in the fitness center on a regular basis. Now, the fitness centers are temporarily closed, and I have refocused on my supplements and teas.  My hair and body definitely appreciate the extra nutrition.

During the "Stay at Home" order, I will be lock tightening, wig making, offering virtual Applebaum Hair Growth consultations, and starting another artwork series.

Sisterlocks Anniversary: 7yrs 7mos

 At 7:7 (seven years, seven months), I began full throttle advocacy efforts for #round2mark3 and #exonerateMichael campaigns. My Sisterlocks work well with my photo shoots. (Selfies)

Note to self: When my Sisterlocks look limp and hard to control, it means shampoo time!

I have been doing a lot more manual labor jobs so I backed off the treadmill because I am burning calories at work.

Revolutionary Natural Hair Option

Hair transformation by Benita Blocker

The results have been repeatedly successful in making natural hair more manageable while staying in the natural family.

My technique is safe on pre-teens and teenagers. 

The feedback so far has been a game- changer for self esteem boosting in the teenage demographic.

I felt so proud to hear that the young lady loved the results of her mother's hair as seen above so she wanted the same and the whole family is saying the young lady has become more self confident with her new hair.

Anyone wanting the next level of natural hair styling should talk to me about this revolutionary option. If your hair texture is not a good fit, then I will deny the service.

A new you starts with a paid consultation.
