Locs of Valor | NVLX Labs Locs of Valor By NVLX Labs | September 18, 2023 | 5 min read I had the honor of serving as this Beautiful, Kick @$$ Queen’s Sisterlocks™ consultant as she passed through the Northern VA area for training at the Marine Corps Base, Quantico. We had splendid conversations during those sessions. I was amazed at her strength, perseverance, and ability to conquer any challenge she encountered. I hope you all enjoy this interview as much as I did! Tell us a little bit about yourself. My Name is Nancy. I’m a first-generation American, born to two Haitian immigrants. I am the youngest of two daughters. I was born and raised in New Jersey. Since entering adulthood, I have lived and traveled the US and the world. Fitness is a passion of mine, and I enjoy trying new things. Tell us more about being a Marine! In high school, I spent four years in the Junior ROTC program. Initially, I chose to enlist in the Air Force. However, I ultimately decided on the Marine Corps Reserve. I was shipped to recruit training right out of high school. The plan was to attend college upon my return from training and become a dental hygienist. Once I returned home, I realized that dental hygiene was not what I wanted to do, and I wanted to pursue active duty. I was able to serve in California, Virginia, Germany, Japan, and a deployment to Iraq. I made unique connections and friendships with other Servicemembers each time I reached a new duty station. When I achieved Staff Non-Commissioned Officer status, I realized the impact and influence I had amongst my peers, senior leaders, and subordinates. After four years as a Staff NCO, I decided becoming a Warrant Officer was the best way to influence change and take care of my Marines. Becoming a Warrant Officer meant testing my mental, physical, and spiritual fortitude for 18 weeks. It was the most difficult 18 weeks of my career, but it was worth it. Knowing that I now have my Commanding Officer’s ear at every command, I can help implement policies that positively affect my subordinates. I think my choice to enlist and later commission was the best decision I could have made for myself. It shaped me as a woman, a leader, and a mentor. What would you say if you could provide advice to yourself when you first began (your civilian and military job)? I would say to speak up for yourself. I grew up very timid. A child is to be seen and not heard in a Caribbean household. I took that with me into young adulthood. It then became “a woman is to be seen, and not heard.” While in the junior ranks, I never spoke out for myself or others. Even while experiencing verbal abuse or harassment, I remained silent. As a 34-year-old woman, I would never allow that to happen to me or anyone in my presence without addressing it. Getting to this place took some time, but I’m glad I’m here. If I could provide myself with advice as a young woman joining the workforce, it would be to take your time. There is no race to win, so plan what you want out of a career. Tell me about your experiences as black, female, and Marine — relating to your hair. Hair has always been a point of friction for me. It was always a “problem” to be solved. As a woman with 4C-type hair, I was in a constant battle with the regulations set forth by the institution. Words like “neat” and “professional” were keywords used to describe how women were to style their hair. I mostly styled my hair in box braids to avoid issues at the expense of experiencing traction alopecia. However, during my deployment in Iraq, I did not have the luxury of relaxing or braiding my hair. I suffered massive breakage and hair loss. When I returned stateside, I cut my hair and went natural. I continued with the braids or sew-in weaves because I had no idea how to “be” natural. When I found a trustworthy stylist in VA who had “growing hands,” I became much more comfortable with my hair. One day, I decided to show up to work with comb-coiled twists and received enough stares and negative attention to never want to try it again. I returned the next day with a blowout, and my boss told me, “I like your hair better that way;” he was an older Caucasian male, and I did not receive that comment as a compliment. Since he was an officer and I was a junior enlisted Marine, I smiled and returned to work. His statement never left me. I felt uncomfortable that my natural hair was not accepted nor considered beautiful. Talk to me about your hair journey. What drove you to locs? What has been your greatest challenge and triumph? After the incident with my comb coils, I decided never to allow people to make me feel uncomfortable about how my hair grows. I wore different natural styles; from shaved, tapered cuts, twist-outs, and using spin brushes on my afro. In 2015, the Marine Corps became the last service to allow twisting and locking styles. It was the most emotional day for many of us who have struggled to find styles acceptable, yet non-damaging to our hair. As much as I wanted to start the locking process, I was uncomfortable with what the early stages would look like. I was traumatized by how I felt when I did the comb-coils. I did not want to experience that again. It took me watching several other women with my texture transition and embracing their new lifestyle to encourage me to do it. I was tired of the daily manipulation of my hair to style it for work. I wanted a low-maintenance, sophisticated style that made my fine 4c texture look fuller.

5 Lesser-Known Self-Care Routines That Promote Hair Growth By Laverne Amara · Oct 23, 2024 · 3 min read Hey everyone! I know it’s been a little while since my last post—we’ve been busy at NVLX Labs working hard behind the scenes. One of the most exciting updates is that we’re in the final stages of perfecting our Locs Loading Shampoo! But today, I want to dive into self-care routines that help healthy hair growth in ways you might not have heard before. Hair growth isn’t only about what you put on your hair—there’s a lot your whole body contributes. 1) Lymphatic Drainage Massage This gentle technique helps reduce toxins and boosts circulation, which allows your scalp and follicles to thrive. With a well-functioning lymphatic system, waste clears efficiently and blood flow improves—great conditions for growth.Look for licensed massage therapists offering lymphatic or detoxifying treatments at local spas or wellness centers. At-home options exist on platforms like Soothe or Zeel. 2) Grounding (Earthing) Walking barefoot on grass or sand can help reduce inflammation and balance your body’s natural energy. Better overall well-being indirectly supports hair growth. 3) Cold Showers (or Cold Rinses) Finish your shower with a cold rinse to improve circulation to the scalp. Cold water helps tighten the cuticle, lock in moisture, and reduce breakage—leading to stronger growth. Even a quick cold rinse during shampooing helps your locs feel smoother over time. 4) Aromatherapy for Stress Relief Stress is a major contributor to hair thinning (e.g., telogen effluvium). Incorporating essential oils such as lavender or rosemary can calm the mind and create a better environment for growth. Our Lush Locs Hair Oil blends safflower, argan, pumpkin seed, and organic essential oils—nourishing the scalp while offering a soothing aromatic experience. 5) Sunlight Exposure (Vitamin D) Sunlight helps your body produce vitamin D—important for follicle health. During winter, vitamin D may drop; a supplement can help maintain optimal levels (always balance sun with skin protection). We’ve been working hard to perfect our new products and appreciate your continued support. Don’t miss our recent features and updates—more on the Locs Loading Shampoo launch soon!

Styling Locs: Tips and Ideas for Every Occasion By NVLX Labs · Oct 4, 2023 · 3 min read Dreadlocks, often lovingly referred to as “locs,” are more than just a hairstyle; they are a form of self-expression and a representation of one’s identity. With their rich history and cultural significance, locs have become a popular choice for individuals looking to embrace their natural hair texture and make a unique statement. One of the most exciting aspects of having locs is the versatility they offer in terms of styling. From casual hangouts to formal events, there’s a loc style for every occasion. Embracing the Creativity of Loc Styling Locs provide a canvas for creativity, allowing you to experiment with various styles that suit your personality and the event you’re attending. Here are some styling tips and ideas to inspire your next loc look: 1) Casual Chic: Messy Bun with Loc Accessories Create an effortlessly stylish look by pulling your locs into a messy bun. Add a touch of glam with decorative loc cuffs or beads placed throughout your locs. 2) Bohemian Vibes: Half-Up Half-Down Braided Style Channel your inner free spirit with a half-up half-down style incorporating intricate braids. This beautifully combines your loc texture with the elegance of braiding. 3) Elegant Updo: Bun or Roll-and-Tuck For formal occasions, try an elegant updo. Experiment with different bun shapes or a roll-and-tuck technique to achieve a polished, sophisticated look. 4) Festival Ready: Colored Loc Extensions or Wraps Add a pop of color for festivals using temporary colored loc extensions or wraps. Easy rinse waxes let you switch things up without commitment—see these color wax options. 5) Effortless Beauty: Loose Waves / Beachy Curls Prefer a relaxed vibe? Set slightly damp locs on large perm rods for loose waves or beachy curls that feel natural and carefree. 6) Braided Elegance: Intricate Loc Braids Showcase the beauty of your locs with crown braids or a side-swept design—braids add instant elegance. Tips for Achieving Stylish Loc Looks Healthy Locs: Regularly moisturize and care for your locs to keep them pliable and versatile for styling. Accessorize: Elevate styles with sprinkles, cuffs, ribbons, or silk scarves. Experiment: Try new styles and techniques to discover what works best for your hair and personality. Product Selection: Use residue-free products formulated for locs to keep them looking their best. Retightenings (Mindfully): Work with your consultant on a schedule that maintains neatness without over-tightening. Low Manipulation: Choose styles like long-lasting braid-outs or large cornrows that minimize stress on locs. Styling your locs is about celebrating individuality. With the right techniques and a dash of creativity, your locs can become a canvas that tells your unique story—whether you’re headed to a formal event, a music festival, or a casual day with friends. locs dreadlocks beauty Credits: NVLX Labs.

Locs and Lions in Liwonde NVLX Labs · Oct 16, 2023 · 2 min read This past spring, I had the opportunity to go on an African Safari in Malawi with my brother and Sister-in-Law. It was an awesome adventure. We braved naughty hippos that tried capsizing our boat, we crept upon sleeping lions, we chased chunky warthogs, and we watched in awe as majestic and beautiful elephants grazed in their natural habitat. A time was had! Traveling is exciting, but for individuals with black hair, especially those with locs, maintaining hair health while on the road can pose a unique challenge. Here are some essential tips to ensure your locs stay healthy, hydrated, and fabulous throughout your journey! Moisture is a Must: Locs thrive when they are well-hydrated. Consider bringing a travel-sized spray bottle with a few drops of your favorite essential oils (add water once you arrive). Spritz as needed—especially in dry or arid climates. And drink plenty of water! Protective Styling is King: The African bush (and many outdoor destinations) can be unforgiving. Tie hair up while on safari. Protective styles like braids or twists keep locs secure and help prevent breakage and debris. Silk Scarves and/or Pillowcases Required: Pack a silk/satin scarf or pillowcase for sleep to reduce friction and moisture loss—and to keep dust and debris out. Wash your hair before you travel: Wash prior to the trip so you control water quality and avoid carrying bulky products. Some destinations lack reliable water sources—don’t risk it! Use a lint-free hair towel to dry your locs gently and reduce frizz/breakage. Travel with your NVLX Labs Loc Comb: Long days = tangles. Finger-detangling can be tough on the road—the NVLX Labs Petite Comb / Scalp Massager helps work through knots without damage and doubles as a soothing scalp massager. Insist on UV Protection: Extended sun exposure? Wear a hat or headscarf to protect from UV-induced dryness and color fade. (And don’t forget sunscreen!) Remember, the key to healthy locs while traveling is consistency. Stick to your regular routine, stay hydrated, and enjoy your journey with fabulous, well-maintained locs! Where have you traveled recently, and what tips would you share with the loc’d community?

The Queen … (of Parts) Loc’d, Lovely & Laudable An interview with a Sisterlocks™ Diva on craft, care & community. It was February 2017. I had already spent hundreds of hours combing through (and saving) dozens of Sisterlocks™ pictures to lust over; official hair porn. I needed to figure out how to manage my 18+ inches of hair. I was die-hard team natural, but something had to give. I called one. Two. Three. And four consultants. And then there was her. The Queen. The Sisterlocks™ Diva. The Queen of Parts. Whatever you call her – you better put some respect on her name. I am so thankful that the universe saw fit for this beautiful woman to lead me toward loc’d bliss. Thank you, Sister — you are so appreciated. Angel! I am so happy to have you here! Tell us a little about yourself! Hello! My name is Angel. I am married, a mother of three (3), and a Full-time Sisterlocks™ Consultant. When I am not doing hair, I love to work out, travel, and do nothing when possible. Becoming one of the most sought-after consultants—what’s your journey? “Highly sought after”…not even, but I appreciate that! My journey was unexpected and not something I planned. I was a stay-at-home mom who wanted to return to the workforce… I took the Sisterlocks Course in 2012 and have grown my business since. Best decision I could’ve made for myself and my family. How many installs? How big is your clientele? I have not counted the number of installs I have done. At last count, I had 124. Clients move, transfer, cut their hair, or self-maintain, so that number can fluctuate. Most challenging client—how did you handle it? I have pretty awesome clients that rarely bring challenges. But there was one client I had to let go due to religious constraints and scheduling conflicts at my home studio. Boundaries matter—now I ensure expectations are clear up front. How do you prioritize your own hair health while serving others? I’m very low-maintenance: wash and retighten. I used to keep a regular schedule with help from my mom and daughter (also a consultant). Now I go by feel—when the new growth says time, I get it done. Consultations & communication—how do you align with clients? I’m easygoing. During consultations I ask/answer questions and walk through policies. I don’t require or expect much—clarity keeps things smooth. “Locs are no-maintenance” is a myth. What do you advise? Less is more. Keep hair clean, separated, and use minimal products and manipulation for long, healthy growth. How did social media grow your business? I started by posting my own locs on Facebook and in loc groups. Once I created an Instagram and showed my work (and my hair), things took off. People love pictures—most clients find me via social. Share a creative problem-solve from your chair. A transfer client once came from someone untrained in Sisterlocks™ with loose hair, knots, and holes. It took unconventional techniques and time, but we restored her locs beyond where she started. Making long sessions comfortable—what’s your approach? I work from home, so safety and comfort are priorities. I share my family dynamics and keep the environment respectful. We spend hours together; over time, genuine relationships form. Do personal/pro boundaries ever get tricky? Not really. My clients respect me as a small business owner. Boundaries are honored. Your personal Sisterlocks™ journey? Best decision ever. I’ve kept up maintenance, wash when needed, and otherwise leave it alone. I used to curl when shorter, but now it’s not worth the effort—one braid at night, detangle in the morning, and go. Fitness & motivation with a busy schedule—how? Results motivate me. After a busy period derailed my routine, I rebuilt with a home gym and Peloton (Bike, Tread+, Rower). Standing and styling takes a toll; training and eating well keeps me going. Advice for new consultants? Get a mentor. After the course, it can feel overwhelming. Having my mom and sister guide me was everything. Top 3 things clients should seek in a consultant Professionalism Clean & safe environment Quality, consistent work Last trip? Montego Bay, Jamaica—invited to a client’s wedding. We made it a family trip for my daughter Zariah’s birthday. Pure joy. Time management while keeping life in balance? My clients care for their hair, so chair-time stays consistent. I buffer breaks, and I’ve learned to take more time off to avoid burnout. What do you love most about working with Black women? Their joy—after an install, and as their hair flourishes over years. Many are Boss women; witnessing their journeys is an honor. How can people find you? Instagram: @sisterlock_diva “The Queen of Parts.” Precision, patience, and love for the craft. Thank you so much my dear! I truly appreciate your time and am ever grateful that you birthed my locs!!

Dakar Unloc’d By NVLX Labs · Dec 28, 2023  ·  Updated Dec 29, 2023 The natural hair community in Senegal is vibrant and flourishing. The beautiful, diverse people of Dakar—the country’s largest city—embrace a myriad of loc’d textures and styles that reflect their rich and unique cultural heritage. Many individuals proudly wear their natural hair, expressing a sense of identity and connection to their roots. Locs, braids, twists, and afros are popular styles, reflecting a range of personal preferences and fashion trends. Salons and stylists in Senegal specialize in many forms of locs, offering services that cater specifically to the needs of their clientele. These establishments play a crucial role in nurturing, maintaining, and cultivating the health and beauty of loc’d hair. Many shops use local, natural products and tried-and-true techniques. Throughout my travels in Senegal, I met a local Sisterlocks™ consultant, Ms. Clarrise—please check her out if you are ever in this region! Although many loc’ers go to salons or have someone tend to their regular maintenance regimen, several also self-maintain. In Dakar, the natural hair movement is not just about aesthetics; it carries cultural significance. The Senegalese have a strong sense of pride in their African heritage while challenging “conventional” beauty standards. The loc’d hair community in this “Country of Legends” reflects a broader global trend where Africans across the diaspora proudly embrace their natural textures while unapologetically presenting our unique and versatile beauty as the prototype. Planning a trip to West Africa? Add “The Gateway to West Africa” to your list! Here are some memorable things to do in and around Dakar: Embark on a journey through Gorée Island’s captivating historical sites, including the Maison des Esclaves. Soak in sweeping city views from the African Renaissance Monument—a majestic tribute to Africa’s progress in the 21st century. Immerse yourself in the vibrant pulse of Dakar at lively markets like Marché Sandaga. Come ready to negotiate and carry CFA (XOF)! Uncover layers of Senegalese history at the IFAN Museum of African Arts. Delight your palate with Senegalese flavors—iconic Thieboudienne and richly spiced Mafé are must-tries. Take leisurely strides along the Corniche de Dakar with the Atlantic surf as your soundtrack. Marvel at the architectural grandeur of the Grand Mosque of Dakar. Day-trip to the surreal Pink Lake (Retba), where algae tint the water a vivid pink. Answer the call of adventure with a safari in Fathala Wildlife Reserve. Surrender to the magic of Dunes de Lompoul—giant sand dunes and an unforgettable desert safari. I had a wonderful time in Dakar and am already planning my next trip. I can’t wait to see what else this African gem offers. Thanks for bringing your lovely locs along on this journey. Until next time… Jërejëf.

Culture and Chemistry By NVLX Labs · Mar 6, 2024 · 2 min read #blackownedbrand #locs #cleanbeauty #nvlxlabs #microlocs #braidlocs #sisterlocks #naturalhair In the haircare realm, black chemists hold immense cultural significance, particularly for black haircare brands. It’s not merely about scientific expertise but understanding the unique needs and complexities of black hair textures and the cultural context surrounding them. Let’s delve into why having a black chemist is crucial to the success and authenticity of black haircare brands. Cultural Understanding: Black hair is more than just a protein strand; it’s deeply intertwined with cultural identity, heritage, and self-expression. Black chemists bring a nuanced understanding of black hair’s historical and cultural significance, allowing them to formulate products that resonate with the diverse needs and preferences within black communities. Authentic Product Development: Black chemists possess firsthand experience with the challenges faced by individuals with black hair, such as dryness, breakage, and scalp issues. This firsthand knowledge enables them to develop products tailored to these specific concerns—from specialized shampoos to unique conditioning treatments—catering to the requirements of black hair textures. Representation Matters: The presence of black chemists within the beauty industry challenges traditional norms and stereotypes about who can excel in the industry, particularly in the scientific fields that serve as its foundation. Their visibility inspires future generations and fosters pride and empowerment within black communities. Cultural Competence in Marketing: Black chemists contribute not only to product development but also to shaping marketing strategies. Their insights help brands craft authentic messaging for black consumers—from selecting the right ingredients to building inclusive campaigns—bringing invaluable cultural competence to brand development. Driving Innovation: Diversity fuels innovation. By embracing diversity on research and development teams, black haircare brands tap into creativity that leads to groundbreaking products for the evolving needs of black consumers. The presence of black chemists in the formulation and development of haircare products is not just important; it’s essential. Their cultural insight, technical expertise, and commitment to representation are critical. They empower Blacks in STEM and are indispensable assets that drive the success and relevance of black haircare brands in an increasingly diverse and inclusive world. As we continue to champion diversity and inclusion in all aspects of society, let us recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions of black chemists in shaping the future of beauty and personal care. I want to send a special shout-out to our black chemist, who is providing expert guidance, recommendations, and expertise as we continue to develop our custom blends for microlocs! ~ Novalocs

Creating the Perfect Butterfly Locs: A Step-by-Step Guide NVLX Labs • Sep 26, 2023 • 2 min read Butterfly locs, with their ethereal, delicate appearance, combine the beauty of traditional locs with a textured twist that resembles butterfly wings. If you’re ready to embrace this stunning style, follow this step-by-step guide to install, style, and maintain gorgeous butterfly locs. Step 1: Gathering Your Supplies Have these on hand before you begin: Hair extensions (synthetic) in your preferred color and length Comb & sectioning clips to part and secure hair Rubber bands / hair ties to secure ends Gel or edge control for smooth, clean parts Step 2: Preparing Your Natural Hair Cleanse & condition: Start with freshly washed, conditioned hair so it’s clean and moisturized. Parting: Divide hair into small square sections—the section size controls how thick each loc will be. Step 3: Installing the Butterfly Locs Attach the extensions: Fold the synthetic hair in half and place it against your natural section about 1" from the scalp. Twist & wrap: Wrap/twist the extension around your natural hair (clockwise), keeping it snug as you move down. Secure the ends: Use a small rubber band / tie at the end to prevent unraveling. Repeat: Continue section by section until your head is filled with butterfly locs. Step 4: Styling Your Butterfly Locs Trim: Even out ends for a uniform length (optional) and a polished finish. Style: Wear them down, in ponytails, or updos—play with looks to suit your vibe. Step 5: Maintenance & Care Wash gently: Use sulfate-free shampoo with lukewarm water to reduce frizz and tangling. Moisturize: Apply a lightweight, water-based moisturizer to keep locs hydrated; avoid heavy buildup. Retouch: Re-twist and secure any loose areas as needed to refresh the look. Step 6: Embrace the Beauty Butterfly locs are a wearable work of art—have fun accessorizing with beads, cuffs, or ribbons. With some patience, your locs will turn heads on casual days and special occasions alike. locs hair natural hair butterfly locs Source: NVLX Labs blog – “Creating the Perfect Butterfly Locs: A Step-by-Step Guide”.

Embracing the Journey: A Guide to Starting Interlocs By NVLX Labs · September 7, 2023 · ~3 min read Embarking on the journey of starting your own locs, often referred to as starter locs, is an exciting and transformative experience. It’s a process that not only leads to a unique and beautiful hairstyle (and lifestyle) but also invites you to embrace your natural hair. Like any journey, it comes with challenges—this guide offers practical tips to help you begin with confidence. Preparing Your Hair Before you jump into the world of locs, take a few important steps to prepare yourself (and your hair) for the transformation ahead: Consultation: Speak with a professional loctician or a trusted friend experienced with locs. Review photos of their work and check reputation before committing; they’ll help you choose the right method for your hair type. Hair health: Start with a healthy foundation—keep moisture balanced, trim split ends, and address any scalp issues. Choose your method: Common ways to start interlocs include braids, two-strand twists, interlocking, and sisterlocks™. Research which aligns with your texture and desired look. Shift the “loose natural” mindset: Your locs won’t need the same products you used before. Box up the old stash and simplify to loc-friendly, lightweight, water-soluble care to make the transition seamless. The Early Stages: Patience is Key with Starter Locs Shrinkage happens: New locs often look shorter as hair coils and compresses—this is temporary. Loose hairs are normal: Flyaways will gradually integrate as locking progresses. Healthy scalp = healthy locs: Cleanse and moisturize regularly with buildup-preventing, loc-safe products. Avoid advice that discourages washing—clean, hydrated scalps thrive. Hands off: Limit constant styling and manipulation early on to avoid weakening strands and slowing the locking process. Inspiration for Your Loc Journey Starting locs is as much inner transformation as it is hair. Keep motivation high with these simple habits: Find your muses: Follow loc creators and communities whose aesthetics match your vision. Document progress: Photos and short notes help you notice growth that’s easy to miss day-to-day. Practice patience: Every stage is temporary—enjoy each one. Style creatively (gently): Headbands, scarves, and wraps add flair without heavy manipulation. Honor your uniqueness: Locs are like fingerprints—texture, density, and pattern are yours alone. Avoid comparisons and celebrate your expression. Beginning your interloc journey can deepen your connection to your natural hair. With preparation, realistic expectations, and steady care, your locs will mature into a beautiful reflection of you. Care for your starter locs Explore lightweight, water-soluble care on our store.
