    Best Homemade and Store-bought Products for Retwisting Locs

    May 7, 2020 /

    When it comes to retwisting locs, people are often troubled by what products they can use. There are many homemade and store-bought products for retwisting locs and we will discuss some. I often tell my friends with locs, that products do not loc hair. Your hair locs as a natural process and so your focus does not need to be centered on products. Using products (natural or otherwise) in your locs is completely optional.  So then, what is the purpose of using products? Well, the purpose of using products to retwist your locs is simply for: Preference– some may want a slick, ‘layed’ look, Shine– products help to add shine…

    How to make Flaxseed Gel to Retwist Locs

    May 5, 2020 /

    Flaxseeds have been around for ages and they make the perfect hair product for loose naturals as well as people with locs. So, why not learn how to make flaxseed gel to retwist locs.  When looking to retwist locs, there are many products that you can use to add shine and hold to your hair. Now, keep in mind that products do not loc your hair. Your hair locs as a natural process. If you leave your hair uncombed it will inevitably knot together, forming what we call dreadlocks, locs, dreads, or whichever name you prefer.  Since restarting my locs, I have been using natural products only. Everything I use…

    5 Protective Styles Over Locs that anyone can do.

    April 2, 2020 /

    There are many protective styles over locs that you can do at home. In this post, I will share a few of them with you.  A protective style, is a style that is done in order to prevent manipulation to your natural hair. The objective of a protective style, is to protect your hair which means that whichever style you choose needs to do that. And only that. Protect your hair! With locs, you technically do not need to do a protective style over locs, because locs in it self is sorta a protective style. However, I understand the need to switch things up and I have done many many protective…

    10 Journal Prompts for Anxiety caused by COVID-19.

    March 19, 2020 /

    Journaling with journal prompts is a powerful tool for dealing with anxiety caused by COVID-19. Growing up, I would often hear the phrase “there is nothing new under the sun”. I never truly understood what that meant until I became an adult. Currently, the world is dealing with a pandemic, COVID-19 (read more here) and I can’t help but say, ‘there is nothing new under the sun’. While this may be true about the situation, it doesn’t have to be true about the response.  The beauty of life and living under the sun is that we get to look back at history and choose a different path.  In the midst…
