🍃Relief after a loc appointment is not a sign that something was done “too loose.”
🍃More often, it’s a sign that your scalp was respected.
Here’s why that matters:
• Comfort supports scalp health
When tension is kept within the scalp’s natural limits, circulation stays balanced and inflammation is avoided. A calm scalp is better able to support healthy loc growth over time.
• Tightness is not a measure of quality
Long-lasting locs are built through consistency and proper technique, not excessive pulling. Discomfort may feel familiar, but it doesn’t strengthen the hair or the roots.
• Healthy technique protects loc integrity
Low-tension maintenance reduces stress on the follicles, helping prevent thinning, breakage, and long-term damage around the hairline and crown.
If your scalp feels relaxed after your appointment, that’s often your body’s way of saying the work was done with care and intention.
