How I CLEAN BUILDUP OUT OF MY LOCS WITHOUT ACV RINSE | Get Rid of Buildup in Hair LOCS

[@ShyBabyOfficial]

11 years in and I use dr bronner but I still do acv rinses about every 3-4 months. I don’t spot clean because from my experience if it’s in one it’s in others. Acv rinses can leave you dry so start using rose water and aloe Vera juice with a oil in a mist bottle daily. Happy Locing

[@ElizabethRosette]

Shania Harris-Brown wow 11 years!!! Nice! So far I have only a few of my locs had this. Not a on going problem for me. Must have been something I used. Rose water, aloe Vera and oil are staples for me and I use them regularly but not in a spray bottle anymore. Thanks for the recommendation, I did that when I had starter locs. Now I like to control the order that products are place in my low porosity hair and I can’t do that when everything is mixed. I naturally have dry hair so I choose not to do a acv rinse as often as you do. Doing this really helped in my case, especially because the others didn’t need it. Great comment, thanks for sharing.

[@jeremiahbrigham5090]

This is just what I needed. I had ONE loc that had some build up. Thanks!

[@sharonyates6238]

The lint build up on the ends can be made to go away with a black sharpie.

I'm 5 years invested never used gel or edge control. But everybody makes choices that works for them.keep them clean aired out and wrapped oil and water. I don't squeeze in conditioner after washing I just apply it on the locs and rinse it off.

[@MeMyself984]

Omg. I feel you girl! I love your locs! I remember your baby locs! Im 3 years in. I gave up on edge control and gel because i see build up. Now I use oil and water. Slick it up and put on a scarf. Works like a charm for me. I hope your method works for me....

[@BriiLaShay]

What oils do you use and how long do you leave the scarf on? I’m trying to figure out how to lay my edges down without gel because it’s seems to last only .2 seconds so it’s a waste

[@MeMyself984]

@@BriiLaShay hey! I actually use hair grease! Oils were wrecking my scalp. I like isoplus with castor and coconut oil. Just wet your edges a little then apply a little grease all around and smooth. Leave your scarf on for at least 20 minutes. I do have fine baby hair tho. So if you need a gel there is a natural one with coconut oil as the main ingredient! It’s called ORS lock and twist gel. Purple top. White-ish color but dries clear, moisturizing, and no build up. Been using it since I was loose natural. Hope this helps 💕

[@1908prettylawyer]

I was literally just thinking about doing this to my daughter's locs! Her buildup is minimal & she just made 1 yr loc'd! 🤗🥰

[@ElizabethRosette]

1908prettylawyer please try it and let me know if it worked.

[@OraclesofDarkStarr]

It’s frustrating 😭 no matter what I do products get stuck and all I do is use grease and rose water but when I wash my locs they turn white… I tried ACV, clarifying shampoo.. I’m allergic to castor oil, almond oil, my scalp gets extremely irritated I love my locs but almost 4 years in I think I’m ready to call it quits

[@SimplyElan]

I think the majority of those with locs are going to experience build up at some point no matter what. I’ve been there and it sucks! 😆 Glad you got it out though! Your hair is GORGEOUS 😍😍

[@earlenechamp2155]

No edge control. No twisting gels for me. Oil and water for my locs this time! I am 6 months in with 162 two strand twists that I installed September 22nd "19😍

How does it hold? I just started 2 months in, been using oil only but when I washed it seems like it unraveled the retwist, washes after a month I think ima use the tropical roots firm locking gel

Im getting slight lent.. Ugghh .. from Turbon wraps. I may need to use a Satan wig cap before wrapping from now on.

[@cierrashea2207]

That's what I do, the satin cap. Keeps my locs from drying out from the turban fabric, too

Your hair is gorgeous. Ive been loc'd up for about 3 years and a month now and its been a struggle with keeping all the residue and build up outta my hair.

I used to use gel and had to stop! It's sooo bad for us. Also used edge booster for braids months ago and it was a huge contributor

[@donkaputjaza]

Basically, we shouldnt use any form of commercial products in our dreads unless prescribed by our hairdressers or hair stylists

[@katanataemaat826]

Smh I got build up on my loc parts and it's annoying really needed this hadnt tried it yet but going to cause it looks so nasty

Was attracted to this video bc of the fact that it’s 11:11 long. I see this number daily whether it’s on tv, outside, a clock, my phone, a video length. At 0:47-0:48 u can see something float down towards the screen. Not sure what u were going through during this time but I believe someone’s spirit was with you this day. Orbs of energy often appear on camera but are usually missed if it’s not something you’re looking for. Your locs are beautiful & so are you. Blessings to you. 🙏

[@jessesmalls168]

When retwisting, should I retwist the whole loc or just the root? Barely two months in.

[@grace.997]

Just the root. Try not to tighten it, at that. Twist it just just enough that it doesn't start coiling or anything like that

[@2joie]

Sis! I was feeling like the build up was in my hair. I couldn't breath gurrrlll. I am so glad you got it out.Your locs look awesome

[@ElizabethRosette]

sandiricebeauty thanks a lot

[@Itsa_chaa]

What products do you retwist your hair with they look so neat ? 😍

[@LoveHeavenly]

Best two things for build up: 1. Dr. Bronner's Hemp Peppermint Pure-Castile Soa ( dilute it!) 2. Neutrogena Shampoo Anti- Residue Formula Both can be found at Walmart or Target. I used to get buildup bad in the beginning of my locs journey and when I discovered these it help A LOT! 17 months loc'd today and no issues. I now only use Dr B. when I wash my and then I use a moisturizing conditioner.

[@ElizabethRosette]

Ashley Chandler thanks for your comment. This will be very helpful to anyone looking to address build up. As you can see my staple did the job which is why its my staple. Tea tree tingling clarifying shampoo is only three 3.99 at Trader Joe’s.

[@ElizabethRosette]

Empress Aura the one without wax that’s is easy to washout when I wash my face and doesn’t leave things behind after hair wash day

[@ElizabethRosette]

Empress Aura design essential didn’t do this and mane choice. They literally turn to oil which meant it didn’t get very much hold but I’d rather go with that then to get a lot of hold and then end up with this.

[@deewilliams9375]

The genuine african formula supergro hair gel doesn't cause build-up either. The ingredients are listed as Purified water, wild 🐝 🍯, coconut oil, west african shea butter, virgin olive oil, basil, safflower oil, 🍑 oil, 🍑 leaves extract, birch extract, coltsfoot extract, horsetail extract, calendula blossoms extract, cedarwood extract, rosemary extract, onion juice, vegetable proteins, biotin, allantoin, panthenol, natural glycerin, Na-PCA, vitamins A, B, C & E, natural preservatives, and vegetable aroma... But it doesn't smell like vegetables.

Hello, quick question... I used wax for the first time in my starter locs to retwist them (im at the budding stage) Have I just ruined my hair and need to start again or will I be able to wash it out and continue just using oils and water ?

[@AlexThaGreat94]

Wax wont ruin them completely. But u should def switch to just the oil because wax will sit inside your locs and cause buildup with continued use.

[@deewilliams9375]

Hi Ellebell... 😲 please hun, don't tell me my favorite "swear by it, can't live without it" gel did that to your locs!?! Because it holds so well and doesn't need too much. Did you even get it in the mail yet? Oh I have so many questions...

that bump is way smaller than the rest of you. don't fret. also, people are much more afraid of themselves than they are of you if you get my drift. so keep that in mind.

[@littlewhitebirdie7414]

there's always going to be people with negative or positive OPINIONS. Facts are neutral. Let the haters and lovers motivate you to do better but don't ever put yourself down in the process. You know you best; you determine your value which IMO every soul is priceless. Whoever calls someone else ugly is ugly inside and that is much more repelling than external "imperfections". However it is fact that we are ALL perfect imperfections because we have INFINITE potential and no boundaries. If you decode DNA, in every living thing part of it says "God eternal within" we are not God but God is us because HE IS ("I am) Health is beautiful. Self care shows you can care for others.
