Loc Tips

4 Ways to Grow

Healthy  & Envied locs 

 

OIL

     Oil scalp and hair 3-4 times… I know what you are thinking, ” That’s a lot…!”   I say  you will remember to oil hair at least twice out of the four times. Work your way to do it on a normal basis and it will be apart of your routine. In the long run you will see the results. I prefer to use castor oil, It helps strengthen the hair by locking in moisture, and the oil has essential fatty acids nourish that the roots of the hair.

 

WRAP 

     When I say wrap your hair every night with a satin/silky bonnet or scarf,  I’m saying cover your hair to keep in the moisture.  Your cotton pillow case will not only dry out your locs but will cause lint  build up over time in the locs. Wrapping your locs after a fresh retwist will help the retwist last longer, who wouldnt want to have their retwist/style last and get the most out of every penny you spent!

 

WASH

     If you must wash your hair in between your appointments please use a moisturizing shampoo & conditioner. It will add to the moisture routine you are maintaining for your locs. Now with locs you do not neccissarily have to use so much conditioner, just use a small amount working the conditioner on the roots first and then the shafts of the hair. Be sure to rinse throughly. 

 

DRINK

     You must hydrate your body by drinking plenty of water. The recommendation is to drink six or eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day or more in some cases. How do you expect anything to grow if you dont water it. An avacado seed can simply grow while sitting in … WATER!! 

These 4 ways gives your locs the attention it needs. Show your locs love and  they will love you back, I promise. By taking care of your locs, you will feel confident and you actually will be able to show off your locs that will be envied, thats what you envisioned right, now go ahead, take that selfie! 

Enjoy your loc journey !
