Locs aren’t a «set it and forget it» thing. Hair keeps growing, and at some point new growth shows up at the root. The question isn’t «will I need a retie» it’s «when».

If you’re noticing even one of these that’s just a normal part of the process, nothing to stress about. Staying on top of retighteners keeps your locs looking clean and holding their shape long-term.

So how do you usually know it’s retie time: by feel or by look? 🧠

If you’re a loctician, having a Dreadradar Collr ring in your studio is a must-have. ⭐️

Here’s why: when all shades are right in the client’s hands rather than on a phone screen decisions are made faster, and the loctician can immediately show how a specific color pairs with others 🙌 or how it looks in a combination. 🌈 It’s about both convenience and trust: the client sees the actual color of the material, not how it’s interpreted by a camera. 🤝

Since Dreadradar is a manufacturer, not an intermediary, every shade in the Color ring matches exactly what the loctician will receive in their order. There are no discrepancies between the sample and the batch.

You can purchase the Color ring on our Shop 🫶

Each of these looks is a way to express yourself.
Kinky locs come in many forms and each style tells a story about the person who wears it.🫶

Locs have never been about «one right style.» They’re about the freedom to choose the look that feels like you.🙂‍↕️

These are the tools we use to make your Loc Extensions. And you can do it too. 👀⚒

A Backcombing Comb, Loc Vise and Crochet Hook are part of our everyday work. In this Reel, you can see our loctician Marina creating handcrafted Loc Extensions with the same tools included in our DIY Starter Kit.

The Loc Vise keeps the loose hair securely in place, the Backcombing Comb creates the foundation, and the Crochet Hook locks the hair into place and shapes the Loc.

The same tools we trust in our own production. For your DIY Loc projects or professional work. ✦

Both options are made from natural Kinky hair.
But they have different structures, different looks, and are created for different purposes.🔍😉

So which option is right for you?🤔

Crochet Locs
This type of Locs is created using a standard crochet hook, creating a dense, even structure along the entire length.
They are suitable if you want:
✔ the most neat and uniform look;
✔ a clear shape of each Loc;
✔ a minimum of fluffiness;
✔ a modern, well-groomed style.

Crochet Locs are often chosen by people who like a neat look from the first day of wearing.🌞

Interlocking Locs
Interlocking Locs are created using a special hook. The hair is intertwined through the base, so it has a more natural, lively texture.

They are suitable if you are looking for:
✔ the most natural look;
✔ a slight unevenness, like in real formed Locs;
✔ soft texture;
✔ more organic style.

None of the options are «worse» or «better» - it all depends on which style is closer to you.🫶
