🔍 The Problem

Locs (which can’t be combed out) are different from loose natural hair. Because product gets trapped inside the shaft, buildup becomes permanent—not something you can detangle away. That’s why choosing the wrong products can eventually lead to thinning, breakage, or even mildew deep inside the loc.

💡The Solution

To protect your locs for the long haul, stick with products that are:

• Lightweight and free of buildup-causing butters or waxes

• Oil-based but non-greasy, so they nourish without coating the loc

• Scalp-first, targeting the root and follicle without suffocating the strand

• Water-based or essential oil-based, depending on function (moisture vs. growth)

  
  

Simplifying your regimen with clean, natural ingredients = stronger roots, fewer issues, and years of healthy locs ahead.

🔄 What to Use vs. What to Avoid

✅ Use These:

1. Water-Based Sprays – Aloe vera juice, rosewater, or a hydration mist

2. Light Natural Oils & Herbal Extracts – Especially in a blend like Hair Boost Serum

3. Clarifying Shampoos – Sulfate-free formulas like Step 1: PURIFY to remove buildup

4. Herbal Scalp Rinses – Like rosemary, nettle, or ACV to cleanse and stimulate

5. Lightweight Stylers – For retwists or edges, like Step 7: Styling Foam

❌ Avoid These:

• Thick creams or styling butters

• Products containing beeswax, mineral oil, or silicone

• Petroleum-based greases

• Gels with drying alcohols

• Over-styling that causes strain on roots
