Loc Retwist | The Best Gel for Locs Part 1 | Why Your Loc Retwists Don’t Last| Dreadlocks

[@8165Pat]

Thanks, Sis! I am looking for a good loc twisting gel to do an at home retwist of my locs for the first time ever. My loctician just had a new baby & is on maternity leave. Your video helped me lots! Blessings to you & your daughter!

Thank you so much-this just warms my heart!

The African Pride styling gel is a good one for natural hair style factor is great one as well...I combined that with the tight hold

[@oh_sheena2312]

Thank you💜- I find that combining products work great!

Thanks for this video it’s good to hear different reviews from people about products you thought about trying. Honestly I use tight hold with the orange label and it works very well for my locs retwist last two weeks and no build up I’m not a fan of pomade textures or gels I sweat those out quick in Houston tx but no tight hold it last. It’s great to find alternative but maybe I should stick with what’s working.

[@oh_sheena2312]

Thank you so much for this! I’m recording a second video on loc gels today😂. I’m a big believer in sticking what works for you. It’s amazing how different textures respond to different gels/techniques. But it can also be very frustrating 😩. Houston is on my list of places to travel to🤗

I am currently trying the African Pride loc and twist gel so far so good. Thanks for sharing' Oh by the way I have very soft hair so we shall see. I also interlock due to the way I workout.

[@oh_sheena2312]

Okay I will have to try it! I’m retwisting tomorrow so I’ll see if Incan pick it up. I SHOULD work out😩. Thanks so much for watching 💜

So you basically validated me going back to using black gel for my son’s retwists

[@oh_sheena2312]

😂😂😂😂 maybe. I don’t know if the gel I had is too old but when I applied it last week it left nasty residue on my edges. But it is atleast 4 years old. Proceed with caution 😂😂

What gel would u advice me to use for starting my loc journey

[@oh_sheena2312]

Yay for starting your locs! If you’ve done twists on your hair in the past with gel I would start with that gel. If not you can always do a little test piece in the back with a couple of gels to see after a week or so if they leave build up. I’d recommend aloe Vera gel if you like “jelly” like consistency or Loc Booster & Loc N because they have a good hold. Are you doing them yourself?

[@naroooft4289]

Can i use Edge Boost for starting locs?

[@oh_sheena2312]

I’ve never seen it done before. I would probably use something a little more water based first.

[@naroooft4289]

what do you recommend? I live in Europe and it's difficult to find something good for starter locs...

[@oh_sheena2312]

To be totally honest it’s hard for me to remember what I used after washing the beezwax out😂. But for a good 10 years I’m pretty sure I used the Mango Jamaican loc gel that people frown upon. So I’m thinking the “regular” formula I used is on Amazon. I plan on using this gel again.

[@DawnnAyeshaVance]

I don't wear mine in styles either 😅😅😅

[@oh_sheena2312]

My people!😂😂😂

Can’t really see the names of any products unless you say the name.

[@oh_sheena2312]

So sorry about that. I’m trying to go back and add them in the video. I have them listed in the description box as well until I can get it together 😂
