Instant DreadlocksFor those who cannot handle
the greasy feeling of beeswax or do not have the patience to
wait for months or have very thin hair, now there is a solution!
With the new technique, bulk kinky hair is twisted in a two
strand method with the clients hair forming twists. Over a
shorter period of time, the clients hair starts to lock and
blend with the commercial hair. The two intertwine giving rise
to a fuller lock style. The process takes about 3 to 4 hours to
do and requires 4 to 5 bags of the bulk kinky hair. Maintenance
is low and one can easily style their hair. This is also a great
alternative for those who are undecided about wearing dreadlocks
permanently. You can take out these extensions within two months
and have your own hair back! And for those with relaxed hair,
finally you do not have to wait for your new growth to lock your
hair. You can use this technique on relaxed or permed hair and
achieve the same results. |

Model: Ché
Che was traveling to Europe for a few months and wanted to wear
locks but without the high maintenance it sometimes entails.
With this technique, she can comfortably enjoy her trip without
worrying about where and how to keep it tidy. For maintenance,
she has to moisturize her hair and scalp once a week with some
oil. Reflections by Locafella is an excellent remedy for this |

Model: Rafael
Rafael’s dreadlocks were done using the original technique:
backcombing and applying bees wax. It took 4 hours to create her
beautiful locks and we used Knottyboy beeswax and the Knottyboy
dred comb. For maintenance, she has to palm roll and loop it
whenever needed. The hair does go through the messy phase which
is part of the locking process. During this period, beeswax can
be applied to tame down the frizzies and help bind the hair
together. |

Weaves |
 |
 |
 |
|
Model: Wendy
Wendy has a full head weave done with 2 bags of synthetic curly
hair. Two colors were used and alternated to give that
highlighted sassy look. It took only 2 hours to achieve this
look and this can last between 2 to 3 months. This is an
excellent option for someone who is trying to grow out their
hair or even for someone with long hair but desiring a short
hair style. The foundation of this style is a cornrow and all
the client’s hair is woven underneath.

Model: Janice Yu
Janice is wearing two rows of a black weave at the back and
fused blond high lights at the top. This addition of two colors
gives her burgundy mane a lift and excitement. This style takes
one and half hours to do and can last six to eight weeks if
washed once a week. For maintenance, Janice has to use a
conditioning detangling shampoo and a light oil sheen to keep
the hair from getting tangled and dry.

head. The extensions were then razor cut to blend in with her
own hair. The style took only two and a half hours to do and her

look. This style could last up to two months depending on how
often she washes her hair.

your wardrobe. The style took only one hour and can last up to
