ORS LOOK AND TWIST GEL 360ML

Product Information

It absorbs easily and can be washed off easily, so you also do not have to worry about any build-up or residue that the product might leave.

The dry locs don’t appear to be as tightly secured as the moist locs. And the hair felt oily to the touch until the product dried. Consequently, the product is clear and doesn’t seem to leave flakes or a noticeable residue. Established in 1997, Knotty Boyis fiercely committed to using only natural, ethically-sourced ingredients in its products. After having the braids put in for five days, she hasn’t seen any significant flyaways. It smells really good—not chemically, more like citrus—and is not at all synthetic. However, bear in mind that in the long run the damage these ingredients can cause is almost always irreversible. Brown gel, for instance contains parabens and too many proteins which can cause your hair to weaken and eventually grow hard and brittle. Our favorite thing about beeswax and beeswax-based products is that they do not contain any synthetic oils and allow the pores to breathe freely keeping hair light and shiny. Almond OilI also did notice that as I washed my hair out, my dreads lost a bit of grip. Otherwise, it’s good for palm-rolling my dreads. Usability Erinn Courtney is a celebrity hairstylist and loctician based in Los Angeles, CA, who works with celebrities like Zendaya and Willow Smith. Though not a miraculous product, one of its many benefits is that it wouldn’t weigh down your baby locs. Given that the words “gel wax” are included in the product’s name, it’s easy to anticipate that it will have a standard gel consistency. However, the viscosity of this product is comparable to a blend of jello and wave grease. Performance on Dry and Moist Hair This gel is also really suitable for people transitioning their hairstyle or those with short, natural hair. This is also an easily available and very affordable product.So I give it bonus points for it’s price!

Beeswax is light, and easy to apply, and wash off, which makes it great to use before styling your hair. Wild Bee Honey: A natural humectant, wild bee honey helps the hair retain moisture, preventing breakage and dryness. Also, it aids in maintaining a healthy, irritation-free scalp. Aloe vera: Aloe vera is a natural moisturizer and aids in maintaining the hydration of the scalp and hair. Additionally, it helps to lessen dandruff and calm an itchy scalp. In addition to giving a good grip, Stylin’ Dredz Mouldin’ Gel Wax also helps to smooth down the baby’s hair. It simply leaves a little white residue behind after drying, which is the only downside. To maintain the shine, I use an oil spray.A – A few years ago there were little to no products that were specifically designed to cater exclusively for locs. Tips: Before braiding or twisting your hair and during maintenance sessions, gently apply a small amount of holding gel to each section of your hair. Make braids, twists, and locs just a bit smaller than you want since they will expand over time. I got this gel to try as it is a very popular product and I was very happy that I wasn’t disappointed. However, it may not provide as much hold for soft hair texture. One way to apply it to soft hair is by using a dryer. As always, we do not recommend the use of a hair dryer, as it could lead to hair breakage.

Butter, on the other hand, moisturizes hair but tends to cause too much build up and residue. If your locs are extremely dry you can occasionally use butter but we wouldn’t recommend you use it regularly as the residue can be a pain to wash out. Q – Is beeswax good for locs? Regardless of the loc method you started with (i.e., comb coiling, palm rolling, or two-strand twists), the way you retwist your locs will be largely the same, according to Faulk and Courtney. Before you start, make sure you have clips , an extra-large hair tie , an alcohol-free gel , your silk or satin bonnet , and a YouTube tutorial for reference as you go (keep scrolling if you need a visual right now). Once you’re ready, take it one loc at a time: Although the wax content truly covers the hair and initially appears fantastic, I wasn’t comfortable with it. A lot of wax makes shampooing the hair difficult because it keeps moisture from getting to the hair strands. By promoting the use of natural ingredients and avoiding harmful additives, Jamaican Mango and Limehas become one of the leading manufacturers of shampoos, oils, waxes and gels.

What’s the Best Locking Gel?

It feels quite moisturizing and has a texture that is more similar to light wax. I applied about one-third of the product to her hair. I started at the scalp and dragged it through the length with whatever was on my fingertips.

The second time, I only used a tiny bit on each loc, and it worked perfectly. It activates with heat. And I didn’t notice flakes as it dried. The effects continue for days as long as you cover your hair as necessary. And it gives locs the perfect amount of bounce, softness, and shine with a silky texture. The aroma is pleasant, the grip is excellent, and the product is well-priced. However, what’s the catch? My only reservation is that it leaves a bit of residue and only a little product was left after just one use. I tested this product on two types of locs – dry locs and moist ones. The result of my tests proves that Stylin’ Dredz Mouldin’ Gel Wax works best on moist hair. Though wax may be useful in the first few weeks/months of your loc journey, gels are more aptly-suited to maturing locs to keep frizz under control.For those with looser hair textures, braids (or plaits) may be the preferred introductory loc style because they help to minimize unraveling during the early loc stages, especially when the hair is damp. Harmful chemicals– Hair products contain harmful ingredients that help in building lather or increasing the shelf life of the hair product. Having healthy dreads and maintaining their cleanliness is what I care about most. For locs that are just starting out, the majority of stylists and loc wearers advise every two to three weeks; as they mature, every four to six weeks. When there is a lot of new growth, that’s really the only time most people retwist.
