Coils To Locs

Here's where taking things personal is a good thing — we love how Tyrisa of Burdine Beauty helped this natural beauty softly customize her Coils to Locs Jasmine wig.

My client bought me her Coils To Locs wig to shape and customize to her face! I love how the texture of the curls looks so realistic.

Meet Niecy, (one of our exclusive hospital styles) a soft, side tapered coil that presents like it’s yours. This Fall, we’re thinking less “trying to cover up” and more “this is just my hair now.” Confidence looks good on everyone.

Most women navigating medical hair loss never find out their wig may already be covered by health insurance. And the ones who do often get denied simply because they used the wrong word.

We're Pamela and Dianne, sisters and co-founders of Coils to Locs. In our latest blog post, we're breaking down exactly what to say, which billing codes to use, and how to file a potentially successful cranial prosthesis claim, including what to do if insurance says no.

“I jokingly looked like I had undergone a major eye lift due to the slanted appearance.” — that’s how I describe what too tight braids did to my face and hairline as a kid. I didn’t know it then, but the damage was permanent. Traction alopecia, though nobody used that word at the time. 💔

I’ve come to terms with my hairline alopecia and bald patches over the years. I’ve found ways to style around it, and sometimes I just reach for a wig I love, like the rest of the women we serve.

Coils to Locs is my sister Dianne’s story, but it’s mine too. Read the full post at link below. 💛

Preventing Hair Loss: The Impact of Tight Braids and Traction Alopecia on Your Beautiful Curls - Pamela’s Story In my pre-teen years, I found myself captivated by the incredible braiding skills of my neighbor, Miss Dorothy. She would sit on her front porch, weaving intricate cornrows and various braided styles for her young daughters, and I couldn't help but be fascinated. The day my mother finally agreed to....

Big day today! Dianne and I are being photographed for a portrait gallery representing wig wearers and wig lovers, regardless of the reason they chose to wear wigs.

The reveal happens in Boston September 19th, during Alopecia Awareness Month, as part of an event called “The Install,” hosted by Arlene Baldwin of LaceLayer. We’ll also be part of a panel sharing our journey and the mission behind Coils to Locs.

We’ll share more as it gets closer — for now, just grateful to be included. 💛

Btw cofounder Pamela is wearing the Coils to Locs Eboni wig and Dianne’s in a coming attraction called Angie!

Did you know? 47% of cancer center wig boutiques surveyed don’t carry a single Type IV curl or afro-textured wig. (JCO Oncology Practice, 2024) 💔

That means nearly half of Black women navigating chemo, alopecia, or lupus-related hair loss can walk into their hospital’s boutique and find nothing that looks like them.

This is the gap Coils to Locs was built to close — and Hair Loss Awareness Month is our chance to make sure more people know it exists.

Yes or No in the comments if you even knew there were even specialized hair loss boutiques!
