LOC CHAT :: BEST SHAMPOOS FOR LOCS :: SHOULD YOU CONDITION YOUR LOCS??

[@Blaqbudafly]

Mielle, Shea moisture, and Aphogee products have been amazing for my locs. I've also incorporated steam treatments and occasional deep conditioner. I use light oils and brush my locs from time to time. Keep the videos coming. Your locs look great! Also, I like your makeup, I've been looking for that type of blush.

[@SharmelLynnette]

Thank you! The blush is from LA girl

[@ariesgirl6745]

Avalon Organics Clarifying Lemon Shampoo is the best, hands down 🙌

[@RealNaturalHairGuru]

Ohhh dope

[@bignaf1875]

I gotta try that. Nothing worse than using the wrong shampoo for locs. Ive had to wash and scrub my locs throughout the day after using the wrong shampoo… residue everywhere

[@Ninapopwilliamschannel]

And tea tree oil is an odor fighter which I love

[@ariassleepstation]

Organix took my hair out really bad and a stylist said it has formaldehyde in it, I was told sulfate and paraben free products are best, since using them I’ve seen a big difference Love your videos❤

[@SharmelLynnette]

Sorry to hear that 💔,but happy to hear your is back on track. I personally didn't have a bad experience, but I haven't purchased any of their products since I heard about the lawsuit.

I love Trader Joe’s tea tree shampoo and conditioner

[@dijontapritchett5246]

Can you get it from like Walmart or Target? Or did you order yours?

[@PatriceHenderson923]

Dr. Bronners is concentrated. You could add water to make it stretch.

[@ExposedRoot]

You can ad a drop of tea tree essential oil to your shampoo. Depending on how often you wash your hair Trager Joes is the one.

[@ExposedRoot]

And...... It is either 3.99 so don't get ripped of by resellers.

[@RealNaturalHairGuru]

I have seborrheic dermatitis. I have to use a prescribed medicinal oil on my scalp before washing, then Neutrogena TGel to clarify, followed by Aussie Moisture shampoo (if I feel my Locs are dry) Without TGel, my scalp is hella itchy and irritated

[@AmysExquisiteGifts]

Total Body is a moisture restorer so it’s not for a deep cleanse. It’s just used after a clarifying to put the moisture back. So it makes sense that you don’t get a tingle or deep cleanse and it made your locs soft. That’s all it’s for 😂😂😂 The stimulating shampoo should be used after you have rinsed your locs for about 3-5 minutes and I use a small amount of a cheaper shampoo to just break everything up then the stimulating shampoo. Thanks for this video. I learned about some shampoos I want to try.

[@tinajmckoy]

The dark hair colors look so good on you 😍😍😍

[@fine_art_wr]

I think so too!

[@SharmelLynnette]

Thank you!

[@scottwebster5203]

dr bronners adds lots of build up and residue if u have hard water

[@gtillustrated2304]

i agree, it didn't work for my hair.

[@AyeJordan7]

@@gtillustrated2304nah it was the water not the shampoo😂

[@islagirl10]

Hey Sharmel! I’ve heard Melanin Haircare’s shampoo is really good too! I have my starter loc appointment next week, so excited for the journey! Thanks for the video!

[@renehamm-gz8ks]

I love melanin. It makes me feel Uber clean and fresh. Doesn’t lather crazy but it depends on what u want

[@LoveLove-wn4hz]

Thanks for the warning

[@suzy6582]

Try suave clarifying shampoo ❤

[@malikstrickland3561]

That left my hair dry

[@dessbest]

I love your channel and your content sis! Thank you! But side note: the background music >>>> ✨ such a vibe!

[@SharmelLynnette]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@KnaturallyKris]

I want a good shampoo bar to stop my plastic waste...

[@dramaqueen9299]

Sameeee just tired of bottles falling in the shower 😮‍💨😂

[@KnaturallyKris]

@@dramaqueen9299 correct!

[@RestorativeClarity]

JR Liggetts makes great ones. Just be sure to form a lather and not rub the soap on your hair: chunks of soap can get trapped in your locs.

[@shealindsay3349]

Cantu have a new cleansing restore I want to try

[@royhenderson1581]

The Best shampoo is Black Jamaica soap

[@elvsrae]

This was very helpful, I'm 7 days in with my starters and worried about the wash process... can you do one like this for the oils you use, which cause buildup? Lighter? Etc.

[@SharmelLynnette]

Absolutely! That video will be coming soon!

[@tamadriclewisLGO]

I use Mane and Tale shampoo and conditioner, and it works for me 👍

[@KnaturallyKris]

I use the taliah wajis oil haven't tried shampoo....

[@LoveLove-wn4hz]

Do you have a video on how scrunchies thin your locs and how to avoid them I’ve noticed some of mine are thin after wearing 2 ponytails

[@ginany3565]

I think your comment solved the reason my locs are thinning only in the area where I wear scrunchies. Let me stop now.

[@royzellhenderson-ty6my]

Mane,n Tail shampoo

[@fine_art_wr]

Thanks so much for doing this! I’m 3 months in and I’m so afraid of build up! 🫣 I’m going to try the Dr. Locs brand and see how that goes. As far as conditioning, I’ve started using a water based leave in conditioner in hopes to add moisture without the build up. My next retwist is Thursday so I’m going to have my loctian see if I have any build up and that will determine whether or not I continue using it.

[@SharmelLynnette]

You're welcome! I forgot to mention in the video, but I'd also recommend water based products for locs.

[@royhenderson1581]

Knotty dread shampoo
