For professional locticians, structural failure is the number one cause of customer refund requests. When an extension unravels into a frizzy mess after two salon shampoos, the client blames the stylist. Understanding the mechanical differences between needle crocheting and true interlocking is essential for wholesale quality selection.
1. The Mechanical Difference: Spiral Wrap vs Knitted Anchor
Crochet-rolled locs rely on external surface felting. The center remains largely loose. When washed in hot salon water with clarifying shampoo, the surface tension relaxes and the loc broadens. In contrast, KAMA's 4-way interlocking technique creates an internal woven lattice that tightens upon exposure to moisture.
