Can I say I am loving this stuff!!! I have really wrecked my hair with trying so many products and layering things when my hair likes simple. Now I am needing to get my hair back healthy and this spray does wonders for my moisture levels and detangling. I’m going to stop being a product junky and stick to this and have patience while my hair recovers. By the way, your locs are beautiful. I have toyed with the idea of getting locs for years, but I have very thin edges from a bad braiding job decades ago, so I don’t think my locs will look the way I would want them to, but it doesn’t stop me from admiring others locs. Also, your makeup is always very pretty. I would love to see a tutorial.

Love this video!...a few questions for you...shelf life?...do I need to store in the refrigerator?... Should I saturate my locs?...drying time? etc. I am soo pumped to try something new!!

[@WestIndieRay]

Okay so everyone’s hair dries at its own pace and it depends on how much you use, but mine doesn’t take all day or anything like that. I don’t put it in the refrigerator and I’m not sure about shelf life because I always use it up within a week. I saturate every time.

I need to buy some hair oils. I have the spray bottle, Aloe Vera Liquid & make my own rosewater from roses my husband gives me!

Question. With using the the aloe Vera juice, do you refrigerate your spray? It’s beautiful that you want to smell like your mom.

[@daherbalgoddess777]

I put mines in the fridge but she said she doesn't because she uses it up within a week...so she's making a fresh batch weekly.

Do you seal with an oil each time you moisturize your locs? Or only after wash day? Can't wait to start my journey 🤗

@@chayah_luv so you add that amount to this recipe loc tonic? Or do you make a bigger amount. Asking because I want to do that as well. Also if you don't mind can you put down what you put in your tonic with the measurements. And you just add the preservative in afterwards since I'm not familiar with preservatives than using the but I'm aware of what they are.

Yes, store in the fridge 💚

[@tanyadavid6743]

I use fresh aloe vera and green tea blended. Then I add tea tree essentials oil, lavender essential oil and a few drops jojoba oil. My locks has been loving it. The fresh aloe definitely makes a difference (even your aloe juice will work,) it like it is locking my hair faster. I put my mixture in a spritzer bottle and spray my locks 2 times a day sometimes only once. I wash my hair about every 4th,,/day and that is with a sulphate organic free shampoo. Your hair looks beautiful 😍

Stocking caps!!! They are a life saver... I work out often. I jus cut a hole at the top to fit my bun/ponytail thru. And leave the stocking cap on until it dries. It dries fast in the loosish bun...
