I prefer beeswax. I think where people go wrong is that they use too much. A little bit goes a loooooooong way...seriously. If your loca are greasy then u used way too much

[@aglo8371]

I feel u. I'm just starting out n the one thing I'm noticing in alot of these videos is they don't necessarily stress using "a little bit" ...but they definitely say use a tiny bit on each strand

[@FolkBoyify]

Beeswax actually makes my hair look beautiful compared to sheabutter ( HATE it ), & coconut oil ( HATE it ). My hair looks, maintains, & FEELS much better with the beeswax than with any other hair product

i have my natural bu dread locks.. so can i apply bees wax on them so that they can look beautiful with a good rope?

[@niccolog2166]

hello, what beeswax product do you, or used to , apply? was it uniquely beeswax or had other ingredients like petroleum?

[@millanicalo]

olive oil will remove bees wax . bees wax is good for cealing moisture in your hair only put it on your ends if your gonna apply it on your hair for twist outs or dreads don't PUT IT ON YOUR SCALP IT WILL CLOG YOUR PORES

[@JW1283]

Hmmmmm. I have not tried olive oil on them. There is a small section of the bottom of my locs where bees wax was used and I can STILL to this day feel it when they are wet. I may try that out to see if it will help.

[@tbrwn2548]

I have been using beeswax for 16yrs I only use it when I retwist with Murrays lock gel and I base my scalp with coconut oil before I twist. Only use one finger lightly of it for hold purposes with the gel and twist the lock. I also palm roll my locks all the way down when I retwist then I sit under a hood dryer for about and hour til everything drys, comes out perfect especially if you have soft hair and that's the only time I use beeswax it's not a everyday week month thing to use. Natural oils and water for up keep only! You don't need to use a glob of beeswax! A jar of beeswax should last you at least two years! I also have never slept on my locks from day one. I always use a women's bottom tight not stockings! To wrap my hair it never comes off. This is how to keep them looking super neat!

[@jevonwalcott5465]

Great info and direction, have heard the beeswax will damage and drop your locs, but you said 26yrs. Bless.

[@ediemincey1230]

Was just wondering what you meant by using a "womens bottom tight" to sleep with over your hair because my daughter always has the problem of her head rag/bonnet coming off as she sleeps!! I've tried wraps, bonnets, stocking caps, etc but this always seems to happen!!!

[@bijoutheresasylvester9165]

I have the kinkiest and most coarse hair you have ever seen. I use Murray's beeswax and it locs my hair real good.

[@KeishaCharmaine]

No issue with dirty buildup?

[@bijoutheresasylvester9165]

I notice that my scalp gets a bit flaky but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make because my hair lasts longer and I don't have to retwist on a regular basis.

[@justrereshop]

I have very course kinky hair too but this hair type is actually the best for locs, it naturally locs without wax. I have a video about it as well and thanks to Keishas informative videos and also research and learning about my own hair, there are so many other natural products that can be used. Our hair doesn't need wax

[@nyjhericarnell8147]

That's what I use

[@tbrwn2548]

I've used beeswax for 20 years with a non alcohol gel after shampooing. You have to hood dry your hair completely for no buildup and no yuk feeling after use. It really smooths the lock out and gives shine. However I don't use it from roots to ends every time I retwist either.

[@kidz919]

I had used Murray's black beeswax when first getting locs years ago back in 2011 or 2012 and it always kept my hair in place but it did cause build up and just washed it out and got rid of my starter locs. Just a couple years ago I went to a salon and got them again but they kept unraveling after just a couple weeks and I tried to use gel but it wasn't working. I got two strand twist a couple months ago and decided I was going to keep them in and make them loc up. I got them retwisted by a friend using gel. She said the gel was doing the job but I eventually needed to get beeswax to make them hold better because the gel wasn't going to work long term and she was right because as I tried using the gel, they weren't staying in long enough. Only for 1 day. I had just bought a natural beeswax and used it this past Tuesday and it worked perfectly. My hair doesn't feel as soft anymore and it hasn't unraveled. I won't be using gel ever again. I recommend to anyone that wants to use beeswax to just use natural beeswax. Store bought beeswax is horrible and has a lot of bad ingredients. Not all beeswax is bad!!!!

[@neverbenormal3]

I love your lip color! What color is it?

[@shaquillegamingchannel3130]

Last resort. For those locs that's thin and about to break off anyway in the shorter stage, you can crochet it tight and use a thin layer of wax to make it stay put

[@LoveSelfFirst1980]

when I first started my locs I use beeswax and washed it out immediately because it was greasy sticky and yucky. after washing it out I just put 2 strand twist in with no products and it worked perfectly fine that way

[@justrereshop]

You were one of my inspirations for starting my loc journey, I watch every one of your videos and I'm so glad I did! I have NEVER used wax on my locs and my hair has never been healthier. I actually just uploaded my second loc video and I'm so excited about this journey!

[@dwayneadventures5425]

I use the black Murray bees wax but very small amounts at a time and it works well for me. It dry harden my twists... mean keep them looking perfect...I don't put in directly on the scalp just a dap on the root and comb in out to the ends I don't use it every day only when I have to redo my twist

[@LDavis1293]

Be sure to blow dry them it helps make them soft and if you wash them, they're soft afterwards too.

[@sheila7377]

I used beeswax when I first started my two strand twists and after like the first month. When I went to wash and touch it up my hair it did feel greasy and gross so I left it alone. But now I use just gel . I'm looking for a new way to re twist my hair because with the gel my retwist doesn't last long

[@virgochic8415]

I'm Haitian and I started my locs with literally nothing (I was abroad an a white lady went at my afro with some sort of hook and didn't even use a comb to part.). it locked instantly and I love the results. Now I use ORS gel when retwisting which is not often. I was looking into wax to tame the frizz but I'm on the fence.

[@ChevaiaA]

I use Mango & Lime Locking Firm Wax (Resistant Formula). My hair is to soft for gel it unravels too easy. I used Murray's before. I HATED IT.

gotta do what works for you at the end of the day

[@2shroom]

i have 4c hair and used murrys bees wax. they have a black version of the bees wax so it doesn't leave any clear residue if you live in a humid area. i sleep with my hair wrapped and have 3 dogs. i had an afro for about 8 months before i locked up and it took about a jar to achieve what i wanted

Please be cautious. It can take several months and even years for product buildup to be apparent and by then it's so much damage done it's difficult to remedy.

[@JoLondonGivens]

+Keisha Charmaine it looks so cute! that's why I was surprised when she said it. but she has almost shoulder length, really small locs, almost the size of sisterlocs, and idk how her hair feels. I told my mom that the combination of what she's putting in her hair and the small size of her parts/locs would eventually cause the locs to weigh too much for her roots and cause thinning and breakage.

[@jessicab331]

I've tried lots of products, found them all too greasy. Natural oil was OK a tiny bit, the best I've used. I always thought beeswax was used more to get that crusty hippy look, for us white skinned people with fine straight hair that just is hard to dread! I'd stay clear of any product with beeswax. Natural dreads are best.

[@JoLondonGivens]

[@Vibrationzb]

how do you remove lint or build up out the locs ? :/

[@lolarew6752]

Brooke Ebenezer I read brushing locs helps with that.

[@MusicLoverGurl]

Lint, you mostly just have to pick out with your fingers or a little comb. U saw someone who recommended doing it weekly, so it doesn't get buried in there. Build up can be removed with an apple cider vinegar rinse, but that also dries your hair out a LOT, so you don't want to do it regularly, and if you maintain your locs decently, wash your scalp regularly, you shouldn't NEED to do it too often.
