Yes Honey!!

Having noted that people are slowly looking for natural and inexpensive ways to maintain their locs,wether semi freeform or organic locs,I have tried out a few things on my locs like honey.Honey mixed with lemon will hold your locs in place and give them a beautiful natural shine.
Step.1
Wash your locs to remove dirt and build up.Gently towel dry and place the towel on your shoulder to protect your clothing as you work.
Step 2.
Mix three parts of honey to one part of lemon in a small cup.You don't need much to begin with.
Step 3.
Begin twisting each loc with the honey mixture.Make sure the air is damp when you do this.If the locs seem dry,spray some water or moisture splash.This keeps the hair from getting too sticky.
Step5.
Sit under a drier for about 30 minutes or use a blow dry.

Please note...hair textures are different.Softer hair tends to work well with this method more than coarse hair.

Happy loc'ing!!

WHY YOU NEED A LOCTICIAN

Many loc heads talk about the freedom to do their own locs and skip the loctician's chair all the same. I use to retwist my own hair and I can vividly remember how my arms got tired from the twisting and turning before I started to semifreeform(where you just let your locs grow with less manipulation ,you just wash and go and maybe retwist once in 6-9 months).But,not all locs can be semifreeformed.Everything has its pros and cons,I semifreeform because I am a Loctician and I can closely monitor the process and because I have thick locs,and also because I don't mind flat locs(happens when you don't retwist).If you have medium or thin locs,semifreeforming is not for you! Here are some reasons to go to a loctician  √ Locticians are style Doctors Your loctician is a natural guide to styles you haven't had before. Want a style for different occassions? A lotician will do that for you. √ A good loctician will provide low-risk services A loctician will know what wil...

How to remove build up in locs

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. ...

4 WAYS TO MOISTURIZE DRY LOCS

Your locs must be moisturized to be healthy..you cannot have healthy locs if you have dry locs.Take it like spaghetti,when you try to bend them when dry,they break...But when soaked in water,they remain intact and strong. Oil does not moisturize your hair,contrary to a common belief.There is no such thing as "moisturizing oil".To add moisture to your locs,you need water or a water based moisturizer. 1. Use a water based moisturizer and an oil to retain the moisture. You can make your own moisture splash in a spray bottle by mixing water with your favourite oil like coconut or castor oil and use that as a moisturizer.The oil helps to retain the moisture.You can also purchase a moisture splash from any cosmetics shop that has natural hair products I love the stylin dredz moisture splash. It is specially formulated with softeners and proteins that help to restore moisture to dry locs.It also has a very sweet smell. 2 .Drink a lot of wate r Your body needs water for your ...
