Hill The Dreaded Dust Bunnies LET’S JUST PUT IT OUT THERE — LINT IN LOCS IS UNAVOIDABLE. IT DOESN’T MEAN YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG, BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN DO DIFFERENTLY... It doesn’t matter how well you try to maintain your locs — lint happens! This is especially the case in dry climates and during the winter months when static electricity can attract those pesky little particles to your hair strands like moths to a flame and seemingly bind them in to place. There are many ways that lint finds its way into your locs, and there are just as many ways of removing lint from locs. In this Healthy Hair Guide we’ll cover a few of the best solutions for LocStars who have cried out in desperation (and frustration), “Help! How can I get the lint out of my locs?!?” There are many things to love about having locs, except that little fluffy stuff which seems to find its home there! They are annoying and often frustrating. Even though they don’t harm the health of your hair, they are aesthetically unappealing. Just looking at them trapped in your beautiful locs and not knowing how to take them out is irritating to say the least, especially when they are a different color from your hair. This can ruin your loc experience if you don't know how to get the lint out. But with the Lint Lifter tool, for example, getting the lint out of your hair will no longer be a struggle. But before we delve into how to “lift” lint out of your locs, you need to know the difference between build-up and lint. Lint is made up of tiny bits of natural fabric fibers like cotton and wool. Over time, these fabrics shed from your clothing, furniture, carpets, etc. and stick to anything.The lint gets attached to your locs when you come into contact with any of these natural fibers or products made with them, due to static electricity. WWW.LOCCESSORIES.COM ©2018 LOCCESSORIES, LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED This is prevalent during winter months because dry air makes static electricity more common and eventually more lint sticks to your dreadlocks. Build-up, on the other hand, is the accumulation of residue from hair products, like shampoos, creamy conditioners, waxes, pomades, holding gels, butters, moisturizers and so on.The buildup in locs usually appears as grayish clumps, and at first glance might look somewhat similar to lint. But unlike lint, buildup can be cleared with a clarifying wash and deep cleanse. More on that later... The best way to tell lint from buildup is to take the water test. If it seems to disappear when wet, it's buildup. If it is still visible when wet, more than likely it’s lint. Although getting lint in locs is inevitable at some point in you loc journey, there are certain habits that make it more probable: using a fabric towel to dry your locs, laying on the couch (or carpet) with your hair unprotected, and sleeping on a cotton pillowcase without a satin scarf or bonnet are surefire ways to rent out spaces in your locs to these pesky bits of fibers. Creamy conditioners, heavy butters, gels, and waxes also cause lint to stick to your dreads. They provide a comfortable setting for lint to settle. Staying away from these products, or at least, minimizing their use will reduce the amount of lint that gets stuck in your locs. However, no matter how much you try to avoid getting these fluffy critters in your locs, you are still bound to have them. Often when folks find lint in their locs, they usually wish them away, ignore them or try to force them out with tweezers. But wishes aren’t unicorns and ignoring the lint accumulating in your hair for a long time might eventually make you want to cut your locs. Many loc veterans have chopped their locs off in frustration because of lint. WWW.LOCCESSORIES.COM ©2018 LOCCESSORIES, LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Also, we have found that using commercial tweezers to get lint out of your locs will result in more harm than good. Commercial beauty tweezers are not made for locs; they are metal and have flat tips that when used to remove lint, pull at your hair strands and damage the integrity of your locs if you’re not careful. This deteriorates the structure over time leading to thinning locs that snap and eventually break off. Now, nobody wants that. The Lint Lifter Tweezer Tool, on the other hand, is perfectly suited for locs. The tips are pointed so that you can reach into individual locs and dig out that stubborn lint with precision and no extra hairs pulled out, ripped or torn. It's also made of sturdy, high-quality plastic that's built to last and safer on the hair than metal options. The lint lifter So let’s dig into the tips... tweezer tool tip #1: remove it 1. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Rinse – The classic apple cider vinegar rinse is one of the most popular solutions if you’re looking to quickly get what may appear to be lint out of your dreadlocks. You can whip up a batch of this DIY rinse easily by combining distilled water with apple cider vinegar. See full recipe below. The natural hair cleanser is great for removing product buildup and should be applied right after shampooing for best results. Find a big bucket that allows you to dip and immerse your dreads into it. You’ll repeat the process of dipping and squeezing and soon start to see the residue dissolve into the bucket. When the water in the bucket is sufficiently sullied (or you’re totally grossed out) empty the bucket and do it again.This time the water should be less cloudy. Rinse your hair thoroughly with water afterwards. Apple Cider Vinegar can be purchased online, at your local grocery store or health food store. WWW.LOCCESSORIES.COM ©2018 LOCCESSORIES, LLC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED hot to do an acv rinse (step by step) Clarifying your hair is the first step needed to get lint out of your locs. Although it doesn't technically remove the lint, it removes what might appear to be lint — i.e. product buildup. You do not want to take your time removing lint from your locs only to realize that half of it is actually build-up which dissolves with a simple ACV rinse. To clarify with an ACV rinse you’ll need the following: ‣ Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) ‣ Warm water (as hot as you can stand it) ‣ Big bucket ‣ MicrofiberTowel Directions: Step 1) Mix Your Solution Pour 1/2 cup of ACV and 2 cups of water (if you have longer locs, multiply both the apple cider vinegar and water by the same number to increase the total liquid volume). Combine both into a bucket big enough to dip in your locs into, or a kitchen sink.The mixture may fizzy, after the reaction settles, dip your locs into the mixture for about 15 minutes and squeeze. Make sure to get the ACV mixture into all sections of your locs. After a while, you will be able to see the buildup dissolve in the water as it goes from clear to murky. A second rinse might be necessary in some cases, depending on how much build- up you have in your hair. But be quick to follow up with a light oil because the ACV rinse is stripping and may leave your hair dry. Step 2) Dry Your Locs Not with a fabric towel though, as this is a lint magnet! Use a microfiber towel to dry your locs so that you don’t invite the dusty enemy right back in. ACV Rinse cont... step 3: coax and remove the lint After doing the ACV rinse, chances are some lint might be dangling off of your locs.

  • Hair from You to Me Our Hair Criteria
    Hair from you to me Freedom Wigs is a company that specifically looks after those with long term extensive hairloss (mostly those with Alopecia Areata, Totalis and Universalis) and we handcraft a medical prosthesis or hairpiece that is specifically designed for those with extreme hair loss conditions. Here at Freedom we create hairpieces that are comfortable, secure, life like and life changing. We work hard to ensure that people who need our hairpiece have the most realistic and natural looking hairpiece possible but to do this we need 100% unprocessed virgin human hair and this is where you can help us to help change a life with just one ponytail from you. Our hair criteria We need your hair cut off ponytail or tails to be 14 inches or longer (longer is best). This is because we need as much length as possible to create new hair pieces of varying lengths for our clients for us the longer your hair is the better it is. We need your hair to be completely unprocessed. By this we mean NO colour or perming including colouring from henna dye. The reason for this is because it can take up to twenty ponytails to create just one hairpiece we absolutely can’t take any hair that will fade or change colouring after we have made it, or that has become weakened from colouring. Your hair must not include more than a few grey hairs however predominantly grey hair is accepted. If your hair contains the odd grey hairs in your ponytail (not salt & pepper) then that is absolutely fine but any more than that and we are unable to use the hair as again the hair is blended with so many other ponytails that we would have to pick out each individual grey hair to ensure that all of the hair was the same colour.

  • How to Do a Sock Bun
    How to do a Sock Bun Your child will need a Sock Bun for all performances, unless I tell you otherwise for a special hair style/specific dance. Supplies: A Donut/Bun. Different sizes are available, get one to match the size of your child’s head. You can use any bobby pins – I recommend BunHeads or these Conair ones I found at Walmart. It only takes a few to hold hair in place with these. Pony tail holders – to match your child’s hair color & Hair Spray. I recommend Aussie (purple can). 1) Start with a high ponytail on the CROWN of your head. Not in the back, and not on top. No fly away hair, use gel or hairspray. 2) Some will roll hair onto the donut from the top, I find this hard with long hair. You can do it anyway that you prefer- but make sure the bun is secure to the head and will not come off. Sometimes when you roll the hair down and secure with bobby pins – the bun ends up falling out. I am showing the other method – where you wrap the hair over the donut. Put the donut around the ponytail. 3) Lay one layer of hair over the donut and put a ponytail holder around it to secure it. 4) You can then wrap the hair around & use bobby pins to secure the hair. OR you can braid it. It is up to you if you wrap the hair or braid it, you cannot tell from stage that some girls have braids and some do not; and we will usually have a hair piece or bow to cover the braid.

  • Female Pattern Hair Loss: a Clinical and Pathophysiological Review* Paulo Müller Ramos1 Hélio Amante Miot1
    REVIEW 529 ▲ Female Pattern Hair Loss: a clinical and pathophysiological review* Paulo Müller Ramos1 Hélio Amante Miot1 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/abd1806-4841.20153370 Abstract: Female Pattern Hair Loss or female androgenetic alopecia is the main cause of hair loss in adult women and has a major impact on patients’ quality of life. It evolves from the progressive miniaturization of follicles that lead to a subsequent decrease of the hair density, leading to a non-scarring diffuse alopecia, with characteristic clinical, dermoscopic and histological patterns. In spite of the high frequency of the disease and the relevance of its psychological impact, its pathogenesis is not yet fully understood, being infl uenced by genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. In addition, response to treatment is variable. In this article, authors discuss the main clinical, epidemiological and pathophysiological aspects of female pattern hair loss. Keywords: Alopecia; Androgens; Epidemiology; Hair; Hair Follicle; Miniaturization; Women INTRODUCTION Etymologically, the word “alopecia” comes (affecting mainly women) still causes confusion in its from the Greek ἀλώπηξ (alōpēx) , which means “fox”. nomenclature nowadays.5 It is an allusion to the constant hair loss suffered by Initially, the term “diffuse alopecia in women” these animals during life.

  • Hairstyling Module 1
    Hairstyling The Cultural Significance of Hair For humans, haircut, hairstyle, or hairdo normally describe cutting or styling head hair. Unlike other animals, human beings of many cultures cut their hair, rather than letting it grow naturally. Hair styles are often used to signal cultural, social, and ethnic identity. Men and women naturally have the same hair but generally hairstyles conform to cultural standards of gender. Hair styles in both men and women also vary with current fashion trends, and are often used to determine social status. There is a thriving world market in cut human hair of sufficient length for wig manufacture and for the production of training materials for student hairdressers and barbers. In less developed countries, selling one's hair can be a significant source of income — depending on length, thickness, condition, and color, wig makers have been known to pay as much as $40 for a head of hair. In the United States, cut hair of at least 10 inches (25 cm) length may be donated to a charity, such as Locks of Love. The remarkable head hair of humans has gained an important significance in nearly all present societies as well as any given historical period throughout the world. The haircut has always played a significant cultural and social role. © 2012 All Star Training, Inc. Page 1 • In the 17th century, Manchu invaders issued the Queue Order, requiring Chinese, who traditionally did not cut their hair, to shave their heads like Manchus. The Chinese resisted.
