When locticians place wholesale orders for handmade loc extensions, the tip configuration is a critical operational decision that directly dictates chair installation speed and attachment longevity.
1. The Mechanics of Attachment
Blunt-end locs arrive pre-crocheted into a rounded, sealed ball at both ends. To attach them to a client's natural starter loc, the stylist must forcibly pick apart the sealed fibers with a needle to create an anchor mesh—wasting 15 to 25 seconds per strand. Multiply that by 300 strands, and the stylist has burned up to 2 extra hours of unpaid salon labor.
KAMA's Feathered Ends arrive with 1.5 to 2 inches of loose, calibrated virgin hair fibers at the attachment root. Stylists can immediately intertwine the client's natural hair directly into the open fibers, achieving a completely flat, bump-free fusion in less than half the time.
