Because of their nature,locs are more susceptible to build up than loose natural hair.
Avoiding heavy products is an important step to avoiding build up.If you just started your locs and you notice some build up ,mix vinegar in a spray bottle,then splitz on hair.Massage into locs then rinse.Repeat during every wash till your locs are build up free.Mature locs will require deep treatment because the hair is loc'ed up tight.The Baking soda and vinegar deep cleansing treatment will get out most of the gunk trapped in the locs.
*Take a 1/4 cup of baking soda
*2 tsp of lemon juice
*1 tsp of sea salt
*3/4 cup of ACV(Apple cidar vinegar)
Add the ingredients to a bowl,bucket or sink of warm water.Stir well until well mixed.Soak the locs,rub and agitate to remove the oils,dirt and gunk.Make sure all the locs are thoroughly soaked.Then rinse out well with water until clean.This should remove most build up from your locs,repeat after a while till your locs are free from build up.
Build up is gross!Avoid heavy products and oils and remember to wash your locs oftenly.Otherwise the build up will keep forming.
Hope you get to try this.Chao!!
