Shampooing Locs at Home!
1. Wash with a Clarifying Shampoo
• Wet your locs thoroughly with lukewarm water.
• Apply a clarifying shampoo to your scalp and locs to remove buildup and impurities.
• Gently massage your scalp using your fingertips and work the shampoo through the length of your locs.
• Rinse thoroughly to ensure no residue is left behind.
2. Follow with a Moisturizing Shampoo
• Apply a moisturizing shampoo to replenish hydration after clarifying.
• Focus on cleansing the hair while locking in moisture.
• Rinse well to prepare your locs for conditioning.
3. Condition Your Locs
• Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner to moisturize without causing buildup.
• Apply it evenly through your locs, focusing on the ends to prevent dryness.
4. Hydrate with a Mist
• Spray a hydrating mist evenly over your locs to add moisture and soften them.
• This step helps prevent dryness and promotes elasticity.
5. Seal with Scalp Oil
• Apply a lightweight scalp oil to nourish and hydrate your scalp.
• Massage the oil gently into your scalp to promote blood circulation and stimulate growth.
• Avoid over-oiling to prevent buildup.
Pro Tip: Wash your locs every 2-4 weeks, depending on your hair’s needs, and keep them hydrated daily with misting and regular oiling. This routine helps maintain clean, soft, and healthy locs.
