    Maintaining human hair loc extensions requires care and attention to preserve their quality and longevity. Here are some essential tips:
    1. Regular Washing: Cleanse the scalp and extensions gently with a residue-free shampoo. Diluted apple cider vinegar can be used as a clarifying rinse to prevent buildup.
    2. Hydration:Moisturize your locs regularly to prevent dryness. Use a water-based moisturizer or a light oil to keep them hydrated.
    3. Avoiding Tension: Be cautious of hairstyles that place excessive tension on the locs. Too much pulling or twisting can weaken the roots and cause breakage.
    4. Protective Styling: Protect your locs by wearing a silk or satin scarf or using a bonnet while sleeping. This helps prevent friction and minimizes frizz.
    5. Maintenance Routine: Regularly retighten or maintain the locs to keep them looking neat and prevent them from unraveling.
