Young female claws her way into challenging #hair industry. #GirlTalkZA #Lockfro

Just how good is your hair? Well, that question can best be answered
in stack full of responses. But one thing that's for sure is that hair
is big business nowadays.

South Africa's hair and beauty industry trades in the millions zone.
That's how lucrative it is.

A young female entrepreneur has joined in the chase for hair supremacy
with her stylish Lockfro brand.

Meet Gugu Baloyi. Baloyi has always seen hair as a degree of identity,
fascinated by the textures, curl patterns and versatility of afro
textured hair.

In simple terms, her love for hair irrepressible.

She began growing dreadlocks in school and soon learnt about the
misconceptions people have about them. Each lesson learnt led to
something unique.

"I realised, after extensive research, that the African child needs
more education content on the science of African hair and the products
we use," she said in an interview with the Daily Dispatch.

Booooooom that is how Lockfro came into existence. Baloyi hopes
Lockfro will help future clients as they embark on their "healthy hair
journey".

One of Lockfro's star attraction which distinguishes itself from the
rest is that its products do not clog frog hair follicles. Impressive.

Baloyi also has plans to launch a new product, the Bentonite Clair Hair Mask.

We can't wait Gugu, bring it on!
