<p>Ready to start your loc journey but having trouble finding a loctician you can trust? This episode is for you. Today we're breaking down a 3-step process to help you find a loctician you can TRUST.</p>
<p>I've been with my loctician for 6 years now, and I when I found her I was nervous about trusting another hairstylist with my hair But, I knew that I needed to transition to using a stylist that specialized in locs if I wanted the best care for my hair. Taking that leap of faith led me to a loctician I could trust, and today, I'm sharing the process that helped me get there!</p>
<p>In this episode, we're discussing:when I found her, I was nervous about trusting another hairstylist with my hair. </p>
<p> • Understanding different loc types and starter methods
 • Researching and choosing a loctician
 • Vetting your chosen loctician before booking</p>
<p>Whether you're preparing to start your locs or looking for a new loctician, this episode will help you approach your search with more confidence.</p>

                                    <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to your new favorite podcast! I'm Kry'Shell, a Marketing &amp; Admin Professional and loc enthusiast, and I've been loc'd for 6 years. Locs aren't just a hairstyle; they're a way of life! Today we'll dive into why I created this podcast and what you can expect from future episodes.</p>
<p>Here at Word On The Locs, I will take you through an immersive journey into the world of locs. But since there is so much more to a person than their locs, this podcast will also dive deeper into who we are beyond our locs. Be ready for solo episodes, panel discussions, and one-on-one interviews with amazing people in the loc community.</p>
<p>Some topics I plan to discuss are: loc maintenance, starting locs, personal loc stories, and the business side of the loc industry.</p>
<p>I hope that you not only enjoy the podcast, but also leave more educated on locs and the culture behind the hairstyle. This podcast is for anyone: thinking of starting locs, newly loc'd or loc'd for years but still have questions, or anyone who wants to listen in on the conversations.</p>
