“Loc Attachments are the fastest way to get locs”
DIDJA KNOW that you can get loc attachments installed on straight or relaxed hair?
What is Loc Attachment?
To get a loc reattachment or first time attachment, you are installing a premade loc by infusing it into your loose hair. (See extending locs to attach locs to existing locs in your head to make longer and/or fix the locs.)
You can attach permanent loc extensions or locs that have been cut or previously worn. You can also get single or double ended temporary locs made of wool on European hair. Both of these methods are for a specific type of hair set.
Who is it for?
Permanent loc extensions are mostly for kinky African American textures. Single and double ended wool extensions are for temporary attachment on straight European loose hair.
For coarse kinky hair, loc attachments can be installed on hair as short as one inch in length. For straight hair, it is recommended tht yu at leat have 4 to 5 inches in loose hair length.
Why get it?
If you don’t want to wait for “the journey” again(for those reinstalling) and you have the locs to reinstall, you can just get them installed. You can also purchase premades on the internet, however due to texture diferences, its not recommended.
Sometimes you can lose several locs and need them to be reattached with new ones due to pulling them out, hormone changes and balding episodes.
Pros
- Skips “the journey”
- Re-use saved locs
- Can section off hair and instant loc to attach new locs
- Faster option than installing permanent loc extensions from the root.
Cons
- Locs that are attached can slide out if not properly installed or if your hair is hard to loc with slippery textures.
- If you get premades on the internet they can be dense and hard and cause itchiness and aggravation.
Permanent loc attachments on straight hair can be done with a little patience and several visits with your loctician. Slippage in the beginning will mostly likely occur until your individual locing takes place in the time that it needs.

Maintenance
Tying them up periodically can help deter gravity and prevent slppage
Washing is not recommended for a period after install to avoid slippage.
After Locs are reattached, you can proceed to regular monthly maintenance as if they were never off your head. If you have all your locs, they can be strategically placed back into your hair. Additional locs can be provided if you do not have enough locs to complete the installation.
