Loc Detox Tip: NEVER use ACV & BAKING SODA

[@AmysExquisiteGifts]

Omggg thank you!! I have been doing locs for 20+ years and I keep saying this.

[@naturalNIBS]

You’re welcome. It’s driving me crazy. Lol

[@Elivelovelaugh]

What should we use

[@naturalNIBS]

@@Elivelovelaughlike I said all you really need is a good shampoo and time. Some new clients when the buildup is bad I’ll add shampoo to those areas before we even get to the shampoo bowl. But if you do use it…choose one or the other. Not both.

[@voltagep1155]

My hair looked good after the last detox but now I know why my hair was so dry afterwards

[@naturalNIBS]

Yes indeed!!! It is very damaging to the hair and people don’t know. I loathe whoever started the trend. ❤🖖🏾

[@voltagep1155]

@@naturalNIBS i used a clarifying shampoo and got it all in my locs and then used my normal shampoo afterwards and that got a lot of dirt out of my head so i might stick to that, thanks for making me aware cuz i thought this was the way to detox locs for years now

[@naturalNIBS]

@@voltagep1155nice! Glad I could help. Another tip for my new clients with buildup, you can put the shampoo on before you actually “soak or shampoo” your hair. I just add a bit to spots that are heavy to start the breakdown process. 💜🖖🏾

Glad i watched this

[@muccigane2351]

I seen an informative video some years ago from GreenBeauty talking about the chemical reaction of both baking soda and acv. Here’s the link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6WkZ5yJoal6pM0 I stopped using baking soda and acv in my hair all together. She said you can use it on the scalp once or twice a year, but try to avoid getting them on the hair strains.

[@naturalNIBS]

Ty and yessss!!! Sometimes people feel they need it. Sometimes clients do need because the buildup is soooo bad. One or the other but certainly NOT BOTH! I try to teach habits that avoid the need for a detox all together.

[@Lhostel]

Yea ok! I appreciate the “ why not to “ but you didn’t give us a “ what you should use “

[@rymidal5836]

she did, she said use either one or the other but not both.

[@Lhostel]

Ahh, missed that. Thank you.

[@naturalNIBS]

Yes really all you need is shampoo but if it’s legit been like MONTHS….one or the other! 💜🖖🏾

[@Snatchedbypash]

@@naturalNIBS and what’s a good shampoo to use ? And what product should i use to twist the hair?

[@naturalNIBS]

@@Snatchedbypash I suggest Paul Mitchell Tea Tree or a good clarifying shampoo! You can retwist with water or oil only. Or use a good gel like Pure O Naturals or even the Ebin. Really depends on what your client is looking to achieve so consults are important

[@CJThoo]

Damn I did 1 time and it worked good that 1 time but ok I’ll trust you

[@naturalNIBS]

Lol! Why Ty, I’m glad you got out unscathed. If we use the right products (really all you need is oil) and still do regular shampoos you should never need to detox your locs.

[@dp6031]

Do you wash it after the detox ?

[@naturalNIBS]

Yesss! The Detox to me ain’t nothing but a deep clean. I soak & shampoo as many times as I need to.

@@naturalNIBSyeah you know what ur doing thank u I was saying this watching other videos I thought I was trippin

[@elijahs5530]

That combo is terrible for the scalp

[@naturalNIBS]

@@elijahs5530 no you are NOT tripping at all!!! 💜🖖🏾

[@realisrare-s3o]

coming from someone dipping a glovesless hand into that gunk

[@naturalNIBS]

@@realisrare-s3o lol we have soap and water for a reason! I do a scalp examination on every client prior to service! You better believe if it seemed like more than just dirt I would’ve used gloves but not necessary. His hair wasn’t that bad but he still opted for the detox! 😉 I was wondering when I’d have my first negative comment lol 💜🖖🏾

[@naturalNIBS]

@@realisrare-s3o also as stated I did one or the other NOT BOTH! 😉😂

[@williebeamen2171]

🔥🔥🔥

[@dajones1221dj]

What are you soaking the hair in?

[@naturalNIBS]

Sorry I’m so late. It’s literally just water, shampoo, tea tree, and baking soda. I do that several times until I see no dirt in the water.

[@Beautyforashes227]

How hot should the water be? I have color as well

[@naturalNIBS]

@@Beautyforashes227 again, sorry I’m late. You can make the water as hawt as you can stand it. With color, since the hotter the water the quicker the color fades….you wanna stay more warm than hot. I would also recommend using a color care shampoo for your bath vs a Clarifying or Moisturizing shampoo. But again, shampoo regularly and use lightweight products or oil only. Should never need a detox.

[@PeaceNotPerfextion]

Good advice, glad I came across your video. Using one or the other sounds logical, for me it will be the Baking Soda since I don’t like the smell of Vinegar😂
