Well, that also applies to our everyday hair routines.&nbsp;Loc wearers have more styling options now than ever, but one must remember they too need a break from bobby pins and extravagant buns once in a while.<\/p>\n<p>Like most things: Moderation is mandatory. If you want to maintain healthy, flowing locs, avoid too much of these five hairstyling habits, which can leave strands flimsy and weak:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Too much<\/strong><strong>Maintenance Measure:<\/strong>&nbsp;Loosen up ponytails so your roots aren\u2019t strained, and restrict high buns for special occasions if possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Too much<\/strong><strong>Maintenance Measure:<\/strong>&nbsp;Secure hair with a favorite throwback \u2014 \u201990s scrunchies. These babies are forgiving and allow room for hair to breathe. Plus, they come in funky colors and designs at your local beauty supply store.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Too much<\/strong><strong>Maintenance Measure:<\/strong>&nbsp;Research highly-skilled colour specialists who can guide you through the colour change. In addition to creating a talk-of-the-town loc look, you equally want to&nbsp;reduce harm to your head, including irritation, brittleness and unwarranted hair repair costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Too much<\/strong><strong>Maintenance Measure:<\/strong>&nbsp;Have patience. New growth isn\u2019t a bad thing. Personally, I like the build up of nappy happy hair, which temporarily changes your appearance and allows for locs to have a strong foundation before relocking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Too much<\/strong><strong>Maintenance Measure:<\/strong>&nbsp;Minimize these hair adornments to formal-event hairstyles. YouTube ways to style locs using individual loc strands instead of solely relying on accessories.&nbsp;Also,&nbsp;consult with a seasoned loctician to offer functional, do-it-yourself hairdos.<\/p>\n<p>Candace Morrow, a.k.a.
