Jamaican Mango & Lime - Resistant Formula Locking Gel - 177.44ml

Product Information

By promoting the use of natural ingredients and avoiding harmful additives, Jamaican Mango and Limehas become one of the leading manufacturers of shampoos, oils, waxes and gels. For me, this product is a healthy concoction of vegetable glycerin, ylang-ylang, aloe vera leaf juice, argan oil, lavender oil, hydrolyzed wheat protein, and more. All in all, it’s a styling gel that doubles as hair food. It has a rosemary aroma that is not overbearing, but it is still noticeable. You will not have to use much of it to get a good grip because it is not greasy. Pros The NaturAll Twisting Paste is loaded with kiwi and avocado that nourish your dreads and provide you with easy grip control when twisting your hair. It tames excess frizz, eliminates flyaways, and protects your hair from damaging free radicals. This loc gel helps you twist or braid your hair while smoothing out the ends for a more polished look. It does not cause flaking and is easy to wash out. This hair gel is safe for daily use. Established in 1997, Knotty Boyis fiercely committed to using only natural, ethically-sourced ingredients in its products.

Aloe Vera is a common ingredient not just in hair care products but also skin care products in general. This gel doesn’t contain harmful ingredients such as alcohol (that could dry out your hair) and sodium hydroxide (that could damage your hair in the long run). Instead, it contains coconut oil and soybean oil that moisturize hair without causing any build up leaving your locs with a smooth rather crunchy hold. Keep in mind that the dreads hairstyle is a conscientious expression of nonconformity, socialist beliefs, as well as solidarity with underprivileged or persecuted minorities. So you may choose to vary the way you express yourself depending on the occasion. However, it may not provide as much hold for soft hair texture. One way to apply it to soft hair is by using a dryer. As always, we do not recommend the use of a hair dryer, as it could lead to hair breakage.While a perfect part is not necessary throughout, you can set up your braiding pattern so that it allows for a center and side part that is clearly defined. We’d only caution you not to use too much of this gel on your hair though as it tends to get greasy if you pile it on. The aroma is pleasant, the grip is excellent, and the product is well-priced. However, what’s the catch? My only reservation is that it leaves a bit of residue and only a little product was left after just one use.

This gel causes little to no residue build up and washes off very easily. Moreover, it works wonders for remedying scanty hair growth and taming stubborn frizz. Hope Frazier, also known as The Melanated Homemaker regularly uses this product, although is new to her loc journey. She has found a sweet spot with this reliable leave-in. She says, “I love this product because it has natural elements such as honey and coconut milk and it holds me over between retwists," says Frazier. She adds, "I also love that it keeps my hair nice and soft, plus there's no buildup so I can use it daily. I feel like it's protecting my hair from the inside and out." Synthetic extensions can be removed completely from the real locs while the human hair dreads can be crotched permanently into your existing locs.

5. Knatty Dread Loc Cream

People often prefer shaving their heads instead of reopening the locs as it promotes a huge amount of hair loss and makes the hair very thin after reopening and untwisting the dreads. Regardless of the method, you used to start your locs, the method you’ll use to retwist them will be largely the same. The way of twisting is entirely up to the individual. A hairdryer is needed to keep your dreads in place once you have formed your dreads. The use of olive oil in this product provides immense nourishment which is sort of refreshing for the scalp making sure your hair gets all the goodness out of it. It moisturizes your hair. If you want to remove buildup on your dreads, soak your hair in hot water, but not hot enough to burn you. Warm water can help loosen up the buildup before you start cleaning it with dishwashing liquid. It will help to press on the buildup to identify the areas where you need to focus on the most.
