Starting locs/ Retwisting with : Queen Heleene styling gel
Ive heard good reviews on this gel, and I've decided i'm going to try it out, I mean it it doesnt work or flakes i'll probably try something else. One good thing about this product is that it's alcohol free, I suffer from dry scalp so I dont need to be using any products that contain alcohol. So yeah any loc newbies or even veterans out there thats one peice of advice if you have a dry flaky scalp and find your scalp feeling dryer than usual check for alcohol in your products!!
Equipment : Prong clips ( I bought a pack of 100 just incase of any problems), Rat tail comb , Blow dryer ( I dont have a hair dryer and I probably wont buy one until I move to uni halls in september, will have to make do and mend for now)
Shampoo: Jamaican Mango & Lime Tingle
Conditioner: I wont be using conditioner for the first one year ( my hair is already quite soft)
Moisturisers: Either Jojoba or Coconut , ( I will be applying castor oil just to my edges) I am going to invest in some good hair oil moisturisers such as olive and argan I really want to try those. I also made a concotion spritz made up of Coconut, jojoba, castor and lavender oils and distilled water I try to spritz my hair with it once a day and its really help with moisture so I will probably continue spritzing my locs with these once I start.
The reason I choose to use oils is because they are light can be absorbed by both scalp and hair easily. I am really trying to run away from buildup, I know how gross it is as you all know I wear braid exstentions for long periods of time ( up to around 3 months) and I used to use heavy pomades and greases in my hair and I used to get gunky buildup near the roots, but now that ive been using oils I barely get any buildup in my braid exstensions, so for me pomades and greases are a no, no!
