Oil is important for natural hair and locs. My recommendation for Nubian queens and kings with natural hair is to use olive oil, almond oil, vitamin E, and/or Shea butter. These oils are great for shine and for the health of natural hair. Dry hair and a dry scalp will prevent hair from growing increasingly well. Please try to use natural oils versus using oils that contain a variety of ingredients that you are unable to spell or read.
I just started my locs yesterday and have total confidence in my loctician. The maintenance is going to cost a whole lot more since I was maintaining my own hair before. But once my hair is fully locked, I’ll learn to do it myself.
Home maintenance is possible with the right products and information. Please ask your loctician about products and home care. Good information and learning locking/loc styling techniques is the answer to successful loc maintenance and home care.
