Top Products for Healthy Starter Locs
As you venture into starter locs, finding products that work with your natural hair texture, curl patterns, and length is important. The right product selection matters because starter locs are often more prone to breakage and/or unraveling and are considered more fragile and delicate. Restore Follicles understands that product ingredients can make or break a hairstyle (pun intended). Here's what you can expect from the formulas we've specially created for drier, curly, tougher hair, along with those using a loc style:
-
Hydration: Lightweight hydration is key to preventing the weighing down of your locks. Our formulas use lightweight nutrients and botanical oils, including avocado and coconut oils, that will prevent buildup over time.
-
Anti-Thinning Formulas: Our natural formulas from Restore Follicles also include anti-thinning properties for ongoing support of locs as they grow stronger.
-
Sulfate-Free Shampoo: We design shampoos without sulfates and residue that can build up on the scalp and within locs. Gentle shampoos are the key to preventing the disruption of the loc'ing process of the hair.
-
Targeted Scalp Solutions: Restore Follicles also believes in highly individualized and targeted care. Our products feature anti-inflammatory ingredients and properties, such as rosemary oil, aloe vera, and coconut and avocado oils. Our formulas are designed to promote an environment for your hair, scalp, and locs that is as stress-free as possible for optimal health and growth opportunities.
The Right Way To Wash, Moisturize, & Protect New Locs
Anytime you're comparing hair growth products for locks, it's important to know how to wash, moisturize, and protect your new properly locs:
-
Pre-Wash: Pre-washing your scalp can help detect irritated areas, inflammation, or dryness (which can be addressed with soothing oils and formulas).
-
Cleansing: A gentle cleanse begins by massaging the hair at the roots, removing buildup, dirt, and oils.
-
Drying Techniques: Gently squeezing excess moisture from your locs can help minimize friction and frizz, as opposed to towel-drying, which can be rough on the hair.
-
Moisturization/Protection: Moisturizing spray, leave-in conditioners, and lightweight oils are recommended for optimal protection.
We stress the idea of healthy hair and you can start with a natural product to grow hair.
Tips to Style & Protect Your Starter Locs
A few tips to remember when styling and/or protecting your new starter locs include:
