Your Locs rock though!

Loc Player

Loc Player: Your knowledge is equivalent to that of a teenager. You bounce between going to a professional loctician and being a DIYer. You, somewhat, like doing your own hair but only if in a crunch. You prefer seeing the professional, but sometimes circumstances prevent you from doing so. Be sure to learn a little more about caring for your crown at home so that you are keeping your hair healthy in between visits to your loctician. Continue to Rock your Locs out Loud and Proud.
