Have you ever smelled someone's locs before they appeared?
If you've noticed buildup, lint, or an odor from your locs, it's time for a deep detox!
In this video, I'm demonstrating the best way to detox locs using apple cider vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice - right on my son's locs!
This method works for Sisterlocks, microlocs, and traditional locs.
What you'll learn in this video:

PRO TIP: Don't forget to "steam" your locs weekly for added moisture and strength!
Here are three must-do steps to keeping your locs fresh and thriving:
- Moisturize -- Hydration is key! Beautiful Hair Products' Peppermint Collection is among the favorite haircare products for customers and clients. A light mist of the Peppermint moisturizing spray and hair oil keeps the scalp nourished and helps with dandruff or dryness.
- Scalp Care -- Do weekly scalp massages with Peppermint or lavender castor oil for growth and to improve circulation. And please don't over-process with color. Too much bleach or dye weakens your locs, which makes them vulnerable to breakage.
- Protect & Strengthen -- Cover your locs (Sisterlocks) with a satin or silk bonnet or use a silk pillowcase. Cotton dries out your hair, and dryness leads to breakage.
Beautiful locs don't just come from products --they start from within.
Here's a few things that you need:
Eat right--Focus on plant-based omegas, leafy greens, and hydrating foods; like spinach, avocado, and green drinks.
Reduce stress --Yes, stress leads to hair thinning and baldness. Find an outlet to relieve anxiety and stress, whether it's journaling, painting, or dancing in your living room. Do something (I like to crochet, puzzle, or sew).
Exercise regularly --Sweat detoxes your scalp naturally. Style less and go freestyle. Wearing pretty headbands is an alternative.
Too much manipulation can weaken your locs.
Wearing fresh, clean, and healthy locs in a few steps is doable. Would you agree?
Whether you have Sisterlocks, Microlocs, or traditional locs --this method works.
Ask yourself, when was the last time you detoxed your locs?
