So, I need help with what products to use to retwist my husband's locs. He has established locs but he doesn't know what products his previous hairstylist have used so I'm flying blind here. I know some people use bees wax, but I know that can leave a lot of residue. So does anyone have a product they suggest? Or is it alright to mix the locking gel with the bees wax in moderation?
Oh, delving into the world of loc care can be such an adventure! For retwisting locs, I totally get wanting to steer clear of heavy build-up. Beeswax can indeed leave residue, so it's fantastic you're considering alternatives. Many folks swear by lighter products like aloe vera gel or locking gels specifically formulated for locs. These products help hold the twist without weighing down the hair or causing buildup.
Mixing locking gel with a tiny bit of beeswax could work in moderation, especially if you're after a bit more hold. However, the trick is to use very little beeswax, as it's quite heavy. Start with the locking gel and then add a touch of beeswax if needed. Knowing how important it is to maintain his locs properly, it might also be worth doing a little test on a small section of his hair to see how it holds up before committing to the whole head. Have you two considered visiting a loc specialist, even just for a consultation? It could offer some personalized advice which might be super helpful!
