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

Hey good people!! Timestamps has the name of each gel or click "CC" to see the names of each gel. Here's my opinion on gels I've used in the past on my fine/ low density hair, also gels I may consider using the future for retwist. I got so excited I forgot to say all the names and give a clear picture so be sure to click "CC" and I've listed the time stamps and names below (rookie mistake) Hope this helps-

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!

[@oh_sheena2312]

Thank you so much-this just warms my heart!

[@asmrcrushandcrumbles464]

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!

[@Mrsgrant2002]

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🤗

[@winkbadu6205]

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 😂😂

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 💜

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?

[@tadan1111]

Thanks for sharing

[@oh_sheena2312]

Thank you for watching!

[@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.

[@AyeshaDeuxtu]

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

[@oh_sheena2312]

My people!😂😂😂

[@meshamemefarrington2868]

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 😂

[@blu_rey8656]

Thanks for the reviews. However, I had trouble seeing some of the products, tho you did name one or two. Next time can you say all the names of each product, and/or put them closer to the camera.✌🏽

[@oh_sheena2312]

No problem and sorry about the angle. I’ll go back and list all in order in the description box- which I should have done anyway 🤦🏾‍♀️ thanks so much for watching 💜
