Here is an overview of how to wash and care for you test locz.

The care of your test locz helps determine the best locking pattern for your hair.  It also allows you to get a feel of your pending loc journey. Test locz also allows your consultant to see how you care for locz.  

Things to Remember:

*Test locz must be washed twice before establishment/install, no less than 7 days apart (recommended to wash every 2 to 3 wks)

* You are responsible for reaching out to your consultant after 2 washes to access your test locz. This will take less than 15 mins.

* You are responsible for taking down ALL test locz before establishment. If not removed services will be postponed.

Wash Routine

Step 1: Braid & Band

Separate your test babies away from your loose hair.  Start the braid/plait about 2 to 3 inches from the scalp, making sure to leave enough room for finger tips to slide through. Braid locz down into a plait stopping right before the loose ends. Then bend ends upward and place a rubber band to secure the loose ends. (Rule of thumb, NEVER BRAID TO THE END)

Step 2: Wash

When washing locz please use finger pads to massage scalp. DO NOT rub shaft of Sisterlocks®. After shampooing, rinse as normal while squeezing excess soap and water from locz . NO CONDITIONER on locz. 

I know, I know you have to care for the rest of your beautiful loose tresses.  Just lean to the side and try your best not to get conditioner on your locz.  

Step 3: Dry

You may leave your locz braided while drying or take them down to let them air dry. Be careful when taking down braids/plaits making sure not to pull apart matted ends.  

 You may proceed to style your hair as normal.  BUT remember NO PRODUCTS on your locz!
