I’ve learned a lot from your page . I started my locs 2 weeks ago and because you have constantly repeated “Avoid product build up,” water and oil are my best friends. Thank you for the tip .

[@Windsingerful]

Jamaica Mango & Lime is a whole product line, whereas Jamaica Black Caster oil is castor oil made in Jamaica, but there are different brands, and castor oil comes from different places. Just a clarification. Good tips.

[@NaturalNirvana]

Windsingerful Thank you:) Yes, I agree! I didn't say Jamaican black castor oil. I was referring to the Jamaican Mango & Lime line. Thanks for making that clear 😊

[@angeladatcher5237]

Is the Jamaican Mango & Lime line bad for locs. Or is it just a build up thing? I kind of took a “laissez faire” approach to my locs so far just letting them grow with minimal upkeep but I want to take better care of them going forth

[@Boss_etc853]

Great tips!!!! Thank you for sharing this! In addition to your last point, I recommend putting hair up before any sort of workout. I actually braid mine before a workout on those occasions where want to maintain my retwist a little longer. when my hair was even shorter (and still locking) I would wear a scarf on my head for that sort of activity.

Make a water & ACV spray, you can add essential oil for scent. Spray your scalp once or twice a week. Make an oil blend for your scalp with jojoba oil, grape seed oil, tea tree, rosemary, peppermint & carrot oil. *Oil blend is acne friendly.*

[@jmford1164]

How can you make sure your locs aren’t getting wet, when they need hydration daily?

[@chanellaDaboss]

Your hair doesn't need hydration as often as people claim. Especially when you have locs. Spritzing my hair or scalp lightly every 10 or 14 days does it for me, I add a light oil to seal and I'm good to go. At the end of day, you need to experiment and see what works for you. I promise you, your locs won't fall off if you don't spritz your hair every day. This hydrating every day thing, is a preference thing, a commercial strategy that companies use to get people to buy products regularly.

[@PriestessAusetRaAmen]

Great tips.

[@kotawilliams2365]

What’s a good product to use cause my hair is curly and straight so it looks frizzed up after a week of my hair growing and Idk what to do

[@user-sy9ur6of8t]

what did u do

[@alexiamckenzie3555]

What about if I workout like 5-6 times a week? What about moisturizing your locs every other day with aloe juice or rose water? How to keep it fresh then?

[@simply_dee6653]

Yesssss! I have the same questions and am struggling with keeping my locs moisturized.. Haven’t tried Aloe Vera yet, but I’ve heard it’s amazing for them. I have only gotten my hair professionally retwisted and styled twice, in the 2 years that I’ve been loc’d. Both times, my scalp had gotten SO SO irritated and inflamed that I had to take out the style sooner than I would like… are there any gentle styles that y’all recommend, after a fresh retwist. 🥺😥 help pls 🥺💙🙏🏼

[@mergyshlergy9083]

I think what helps with working out is pulling your hair back into a tighter style. Like a ponytail or a bun, something that keeps the roots tight. Because the times when I don’t, I swear that retwist immediately is sweated out lol

[@mergyshlergy9083]

@@simply_dee6653 I was having a lot of issues with dry inflamed scalp until I started using MCT oil!! Not on the locs, just my scalp. I had to do it every day for like a week to notice a difference but I haven’t had an issue for like 8 months now ❤️

[@venetter]

@@mergyshlergy9083 some hair likes aloe, some doesn't. Same for glycerin. My hair HATES aloe, but loves glycerin. I spray my scalp with a homemade spritz of water, glycerin, vit E oil, and essential oils. That and washing my hair no longer than 2weeks in between works. I'll always take a healthy scalp over trying to hold onto a retwist.

I'm newly loc'd and what oil would you recommend for retwisting and itchy scalp? Btw, your locs are beautiful, New Subby here!!

[@FeelinErie]

I created my oil mix of extra virgin olive oil, with a few drops of tea tree oil (great for the itchy scalp), orange, lemongrass, and eucalyptus. So you could either retwist with that, or use aloe vera gel. I also spray my hair with a water mix of bottled water, with a few drops of peppermint, and a tablespoon of glycerine. :)

OK... before your hair "dropped" and u were in the beginning stages like me (2 months, whoohoo) when u do a fresh retwist and sleep on it, how do u refresh your hair w/o spritzing water on em? i don't want my roots puffing back up if i did ya know? like my hair be either smash to my head or bent in all kinda directions and I would spray my water and oil mix each day to make them act right. however i messed up my last retwist doing that. Please Help a sister?? 😧

[@kemararobinson2161]

sheniqua davis try only misting the length and avoid water on your roots directly. Jojoba oil and coconut oil are light enuff to go on scalp and keep it moist and not itchy or flaky. But try to only let water get on the ends. Also when you sleep with ur satin bonnet u can guide troublesome side and top locs in the direction you want them to lay and if u sleep wild maybe put a soft clip so they dont get mushed in some other direction. When theyre stuck to ur head like a helmet just try shaking them out and reeeally light mist.

Thank u so much!!

Should I be retweeting all the loose hair to their own locs after shower? If so can You recommend video on how to do that? Or what product to use. I have seb derm in my scalp so i cant use most products. Usually a lot vera is great. Sometimes coconut.

[@tianaevone]

@@ascwahid i’m just starting out with locs myself lol, but i look up locs videos all the time they’re very informative! i’ve heard the best option is to sleep with a satin scarf or a loc soc. you shouldn’t retwist everytime you shower, but instead you can gently “unmarry” your parts, where you feel strands aren’t where they’re supposed to be. and as far as products all you need is the oil(s) of your choice and water

[@butterflyxx9883]

ashayla marrast do you have tips on what I can do to prevent build up as well?

[@user-er2js5sg2o]

Aniyah XO i know I’m late, but if you already have build up you can do an apple cider vinegar rinse (there’s tutorials here on KZbin). if you have been putting beeswax or gel in your locs for a while I recommend doing the rinse. Even if your hair doesn’t appear to have a lot of buildup, a lot of times the inside of the locs have it and you can’t see it. To prevent it, like the other commenter said, use oil and water to re twist and make sure you’re washing your hair as frequently as you need to. Some oils can become solid when put at a cold enough temperature, such as coconut oil, and some don’t, like olive oil. Just be aware of what kind of oil you’re using and if you’re putting one of the solid oils on the length of your locs, try not to put too much

[@Dtaylock]

Bees wax is actually good tight long lasting hold just wash before every twist
