Why does density change when hair is in locs?
The density of hair appears to change when it’s in locs due to how the hair strands are structured and compacted in this style. Here’s a detailed breakdown: 1. Compression of Hair Strands • When forming locs, the hair strands are tightly coiled, twisted, and sometimes matted together. This compression reduces the amount of space the hair takes up, making the hair feel denser or heavier in the locked areas. 2. Accumulation of Shedded Hair • In loose hairstyles, shed hair falls out naturally. However, in locs, the shed hair remains trapped within the structure of the loc. Over time, this accumulation adds to the mass and density of each loc. 3. Reduction in Air Gaps • Loose or free-flowing hair has more space between strands, which gives it a lighter appearance and feel. Locs, by contrast, have much less space between the strands because the hair is tightly packed, creating the impression of increased density. 4. Hair Growth Over Time • As locs mature, more ...
Wow I love this site, thanks for sharing. Kids get bored easily but with this I can mix things up for them. Ps, I'm still waiting on the hairstyle tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have actually recorded the tutorial. I will be editing it this weekend and publishing it next week. I had other videos schedule that were requested for before this one. Don't worry, I have not forgotten it. It's quite simple. Did you get a chance to try doing a Bantu loop Twistout? That was the style. Here is the link to the "How To" tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGRwR4PfM7M
