July is LOC REPAIR MONTH! Has the recession affected your locs? Have they seen better days? Are they thinning at the roots and literally hanging on by a strand of hair? Are they joined together in places you don't want them to? Have you heard: "Just cut them off" more times than you care to admit? Then please contact Nick's Naps ASAP to get your locs repaired! Operators are standing by :)

"Life is not a competition with others. In its truest sense it is a rivalry with ourselves. We should each day seek to break the record of our yesterday. We should seek each day to live stronger, better, truer lives; each day to master some weakness of yesterday; each day to repair past follies; each day to surpass...ourselves. And this is but progress."--William George Jordan.

Please read this article on traction alopecia. It's a quick read. I have a lot of new clients who come to me asking for help with this. Prevention is the best cure!

Traction Alopecia : Causes & Treatment Options Traction Alopecia among African American Women & Men, Causes and Treatment Options

NATURAL HAIR TIP: Traction alopecia can occur when hair is pulled too tightly during the styling process. Twisting, interlocking, cornrows and other tension styles can cause this sometimes permanent hair loss if done incorrectly. Don't be shy, let your loctitian know if there is too much tension on your scalp. The hair you save may be your own! :)

THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Although locs are "low maintenance", they are certainly not "no maintenance". Call, text or email your loctitian to schedule an appointment today!!

Had a great day at the salon today. Lots of laughs, advice, heated discussions and words of encouragement. I love my job!
