HOW TO DEAL WITH THE UGLY PHASE OF LOCS.



The term ugly phase is used to connote a stage in the locs process where your locs looks generally unattractive and unruly.
Usually manifests during the early stage of forming locs and it's as a result of three major changes that occurs in starter locs which are shrinkage, swelling and frizz manifesting during budding.
It is a phase embraced by some while others see a need to put it under control probably due to work/social ethics.

A number of options available to deal with it include;
1⃣ First option is to put your locs in a protective styling.

2⃣ Use of scarf or durag during the day

3⃣ Use of suitable wigs over your locs.

4⃣ Others include hairstyles such as braids/twists over locs.

5⃣ Use of crochet hook to tame the frizz


Other alternatives to totally bypass this phase include;
6⃣ An instant locs installation.

 7⃣Locs extensions: the use of pre-made locs from afro/ natural hair to mesh with your natural hair.
