Andrea Asked;

"Hello, I ran across you blog as you are featured on the Naturally Beautiful hair blog today, My question is I have had my locs since 2009, and my hair is rather soft, so I can use nothing too heavy and too light it won’t hold so the locs won’t hold when I do them, I am seeking a product other than wax “don’t use” I use a gel which I think dries them out, and oil it suck it up quickly, what is the best products for my type of hair."

Hello Andrea,

You are correct about the gel. It is drying on the scalp. It’s better to use a butter such as Shea, Mango Cocoa, etc. The key is to not use too much so it won’t be heavy. As for holding your locs, no product does that. Technique does. For soft hair types I recommend using the Interlocking method to tighten your roots. But make sure you use your fingers and not the latch hook tool that most stylist use. The latch hook tool causes damage in the long run. Doing it with your finger is much healthier for your hair. In this video, http://healthylocsblog.com/2011/07/healthy-locs-does-her-own-hair-part-2/ , you’ll see how i do interlocking on my own hair and how your stylist should do it if you have someone else doing your hair.
