- In this loc moisture tutorial, I'm sharing ways to keep up with loc moisture and avoid dry locs for beginners like me. The best part is, you can do loc maintenance at home and achieve loc moisture. Want to know how to keep moisture in your locs? Are you dealing with dry stiff locs? Does Rose Water really work? What have you guys been using for loc maintenance during quarantine? I hope you find these loc maintenance tips helpful when attempting to hydrate dry locs... even dry starter locs. Let's talk!
Side note: I have starter locs on short hair and began my starter locs with two strand twists.

I'm almost 15 mths into my microlocs journey. I use rose water and aloe vera juice with an oil mixture and my microlocs stay soooo moisturized it's been my PERMANENT go to to keep my babies hydrated
Oooooh, yesssss thanks Natasha!!! I might have to give that a try 😍😊 I’ve been wanting to use aloe vera juice
Where do you get rose water from?
@Ethelene Hogan Either Walmart or Amazon. I love Thayer's rose water you can find that in any cosmetic section
Did you blend the aloe juice and added the rose water, aloe, and oil all into one? And how many times did you use this?
@@junidegraham5221 I've cut my locs since this comment but I still use the same mixture on my nature hair. I purchased a gallon of aloe vera juice and I usually spritz the mixture on my locs twice a day. But now on my natural hair abt once every other day, hope this helps! Happy loc journey ☺
You have a very pleasant face and nice smile. Also, you speak well. Just sending you some positive energy.
You a hater ngl
3 months in...I use purified water mixed with rosewater and an oil blend. Its great!! I also use a smaller spray bottle as the larger bottles put out too much water. Also, dont want the oils to go rancid. Throwing out a little bit I wont mind much, throwing out a lot is wasteful. :)
Congratulations on 3 months loc’d!!! 😍😍😍🥳🥳🥳🥳 I love that you’re being mindful of waste when you use a smaller bottle. That’s brilliant! Thanks for the tip!
I've been on my loc journey for 11 months, and I've been trying different products, but I've settled for locsanity and canvas or Hollywood bar for my oil. My hair has been growing. I do have a Loctician because I'm legally blind and I can't see to do my hair. That is also why I started my loc journey. I love it so much❤❤❤❤🥰🥰
Thanks for sharing!!
I'm 4 months into my loc journey and I use a similar system to moisturize my locs. I was such a product junkie as a lose natural, so I'm still getting used to being a minimalist with my hair products lol. Right now, I moisture my locs with a rose water peppermint spray I purchased from Amazon, it also contains Castor oil, vitamin E , avocado oil and a mix of other oils. After I spray, I oil my scalp with castor oil, but I usually rotate b/w a few different oils. So far it works pretty well. I have 4c hair as well, and I have definitely noticed more dryness in this past month, so I feel your pain! It's weird because I used to steam my hair before applying my rosewater spray and oil. I would still get dry hair later in the day. Recently, I've stopped steaming my hair in the shower before beginning my moisturizing routine. From that, I noticed my hair retained the moisture better. I experienced a similar affect to what you described when using tap water in your spray bottle. The dryness was more prevalent after I would steam my hair in shower !
Mitzie Martin thanks so much for sharing your story with me. I love how detailed your comment is, Mitzie!!! 👏🏾💕 I look forward to the day I’m celebrating my fourth month lol. I’ll be using trial and error every day until I understand what my hair is trying to tell me on this journey. It definitely seems like less is gonna be more and I’m sooo here for it 😍 no stress, no anxiety! Does your rose water come with the peppermint oil in it already? Or do you add it? Talk soon!
I just started my loc journey yesterday 😁 I bought the rose water peppermint oil spray on Amazon too. Can't wait to try it out!!
I am so glad that I came upon this video. I too have been using water and rose water and my oil of choice is jojoba. I will now be cutting out the water. My locs can be dry and my scalp itchy. I was worried that the rose water was too concentrated, but maybe that’s the ish! I need the concentration! I know this video is older, but it is right on time for me. I started my locs in April 2022 and am learning a lot! I was thinking of adding a leave in moisturizer, but I am going to stick with the rose water/oil combo and see how that works! Thank you so much for this information-filled video!! 😊
Three weeks into my instant loc journey loved your vid please keep it up 👍
Awww, thanks so much for tuning in Kelci 💗 Congrats on your new journey!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Can't wait I'm starting my locs journey tomorrow! I'm excited! 💃🤎
How’s it going?!! 😊
I’m 3 days in and your video was very helpful.
I just got my water bottle from Amazon today. Still need to get the Rose water and aloe Vera juice from Walmart tomorrow. Thank you guys. My hair is short but I’m perfectly fine with in. It’s me, and I love me..
Im 1 month in I am using my own product. Rosmary clove water and Rose water then seal with almond oil. Seems to be working so far.
Thank you for this because I’m just a week in and my scalp is dry. I have a bouquet of rose’s so I’ll make me some rose water. I also have bottles of distilled water too so I’ll see how that works. 😊
Praise God! very informational thank you keep it up. I will be adding rose water to my list!
Thank you so much for being here! I thank God for people like you who send so much love through the comments. Let me know what you think of rosewater once you give it a try!
@@AlexisHarris all glory to God! Yes ma'am I sure will, this comment really brightened up my day.
My daughter and I just began our journey. Not a month in and I am questioning my decision. My hair is really fine, coily and thin. My daughters is real 4C!! I don’t know how to do head wraps, I’m experiencing a bit of unraveling already….lord im watching the beginning of your journey and go forward.
Same here. I have gine hair that curls naturally. I'm too experiencing unraveling. I've just been retwisting and and embracing the coils. When I retwist I will upload a video
@@allthingzjazzy would definitely appreciate ANY and ALL help!!
Same here im only a week in and experiencing some unraveling dryness and frizz
@@lydiaguss1007 it’s getting better for me. I still experience unraveling in softer spots but for the most part I’m locing. Still frizz. I took a class to learn how to twist me and my daughters hair on days we just have to clean it up a bit until we get to our loctician. Stick with it, don’t give up!🙂
Your thumbnails are beautiful.
Awww, thanks Ethan! I appreciate the love 💗
Here watching
Huntyy the struggle is real. I have overactive scalp (flaking, itching) so I have to wash my hair once a week. So my hair looks crazy. But I wear a scrub cap but God forbid I have to go anywhere but work, I'll be in trouble. I think I'm only 3-4 months in.
Yaaaaassss... I promise I understand!!! I have eczema and sometimes I have a flare up on my scalp. It’s the worst itching you can imagine! Keep going though. It’s so worth it 😊💕
Candida cleanse from Amazon will clear up the dryness and flakes
@@fanniebillingsleyfb thank you
I have eczema in my scalp as well and the flakes are crazy. What do you do to prevent the flakes? I’m only in day 1.
I used to use tap water when I was a loose natural but I realized that had my hair SUPER DRYY so when I started my locs tap water was out of the question loll. I use a mixture of rose water and vitamin E oil to moisturize my locs, still working on the oil to water ratio though but that combination works for me. In terms of my scalp I used a combination of Jamaican black castor oil and lavender which is a bit on the heavier side but I realize with that I don't have to oil my scalp too often. I'm new to the loc journey as well so I'm still learning. The sweet almond oil is on my list of oils to try in the future though.
Maia Drakes I wish I would’ve listened to the people who said use purified water!!!! Lol I was out here committed to tap water for a whole second. I’ve heard great things about Jamaican black castor oil for retwists especially! I’m gonna try it for sure. Let me know what you think of sweet almond oil when you try it 💗🙌🏾😊💕🥳 thanks for checking out this vid!
@@AlexisHarris loll, at least you found something that works. I've heard about that oil for retwists also but honestly I'm not sure what I will use to retwist my hair because I'm yet to do my first retwist lol . I'll do that and no problem. 😊
I use rose water and an mix n I think it's great loving it . Thank you sis I do it every day
Love it!!! Thanks for being here 💖
I had to cut water as well when moisturizing my locs. I use a combo of rose water and aloe vera juice then seal with an oil of my choice.
Love this! Thanks for the insights 💖😊
Does it cause build up
Did you make the aloe juice or buy it?
I bought the aloe juice.
I'm 3 months loc all I use is oil ,aloe and water love watching your videos
Hey Chemisa! Congratulations on 3 months loc’d!!! I just reached 3 months as well 😍🥳💗😊 thank you so much for checking out these vids!!! Haven’t tried aloe yet but I’m excited to give it a try 💗
Starting my locs tomorrow! Thank you 💗
Awww, congratulations!!! 🎈🍾🎉🎊 wishing you the happiest loc journey. Let me know how it goes!!!
I'm 2 weeks in and I was told no product in my hair just yet
Thanks for sharing
Don’t rid of your water bottle, Just add distilled or spring water, rose water and aloe Vera juice to your spray bottle with maybe a couple drops of your essential oil; shake up and hydrated your locs 💦💈♥️👍🏽👑
Thank you so much for being here and sharing your advice. It really means a lot and I’m gonna try your recommendations! 😍😍😍🥳🥳👑💖
Started journey 10-27-21, haven't had retwist yet.. so can I spray water without messing up process?
What kind of essential oils do you recommend?
i started mine a week and a half ago
Thank you for the tips, and you're so beautiful
Greating from England. Great video and boy are you pretty lol. Have you got a video on frizzy locs?
Hiii! Thank you so much 😊 I don’t think I have a video on frizzy locs yet, but I will add it to the list
Hi, I’m new to yr channel tryn to dread up. It’s yr girl Landy. 👚
Hey Landy!!! Happy you’re here 💗 thanks for the positive vibes!!!
My problem isn’t moisturizing it’s that if I sprits my hair at all the roots just become unruly. 😫 are we spritzing they roots or just oiling the scalp?
Great question! For me, it depends. I do both depending on how close I am to my next retwist. After I’ve just had a retwist, I avoid getting my roots wet for as long as possible. But when I’m due for a retwist, I don’t necessarily care about my roots acting up 😅😍 so it’s up to you! I find more moisture when I sprits everywhere before oiling though 💖
U can get the bottle that mist your hair with the rose water
Love this tip!
So what part do i do of the routine morning and night 😅
So beautiful
Newbie. Official 1 month loc'd today
Congratulations on your new journey! I’m so excited for you. Thanks so much for being here. Welcome to the family 😍🎉😘🥳💖
@@AlexisHarris Thank you so very much. I truly appreciate the love. It is hard out here for newbies without mentors. I am sooo glad I can across you. Much ❤ ✊🏿💪🏿
Hey , Love Your Video ! I start my two strand loc journey tomorrow . i have 4c hair & i do have trouble with dry scalp , when i use black castor oil on my scalp that usually helps but i will try the rose water & almond oil . is it okay to use the castor oil on my scalp with rose water and almond oil on the actual loc ? & also how often should i use the rose water ? should i let it air dry once spraying the rose water on my hair or dry it with a blow dryer ?
Thanks so much for being here! You can use castor oil on your scalp and almond oil down your locs. Totally up to you! When you mist your hair with rose water it’ll air dry within a few minutes 💖💖💖
Top water drys your hair
My locs is almost 3 months now and I've not really taken care of it I feel really bad!!!!!!!!!
Apart from rose water and oil please do I need anything else?
Hey there! It’s all good 💖 no time like the present to establish a maintenance routine. Rose water and oil are the only things I’m using at the moment! See how your locs like those items :) best wishes!
@@AlexisHarris thank you so much!
What can I do about really frizzy locks
I will definitely check the rosewater at Walmart.
Yes!!! For sure. It's in the facial products aisle. I had a hard time finding it! Let me know what you think and if it works well for you!!!
@@AlexisHarris oh thanks for letting me know what aisle that helped greatly and yes I will.
You’re so welcome 🙌🏾💕 I got you!!!
Btw I am 3 yrs loc’d
Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom with me and the community 💖
When did you start putting water
You didn’t say how switching water affected your locs
I just started my locs one month ago and I've been using castor oil I definitely got to get me some rose water how often do you get your locs retwisted they are super cute
How often do you moisturize do you have a routine or do you go as needed
@@rocmetrixathletics3139 twice a week
Im a month in and i use tap water and rose oil and a couple other oils every now and again. But lately its just been water and i think my hair is doing fine so far. Im not really an expert on telling when my hair is dry but it really doesnt feel like it rn
I just got my starter locs and i used coconut oil before is ok to keep using this after for moisture?
Congratulations on your new journey!!! 💙💙💙💙 I’d switch to another oil, like one that doesn’t turn into a solid. For example, Vitamin E oil is great! But it’s totally up to you. I’ve heard oils that turn into a solid can lead to build up over the years so I avoid them as much as possible lol
Is rose water a must for locs and if not, can we use leave in conditioner?
I think people generally want you to stay away from leave in conditioner bc it can cause build up. Rose water is like water but better so that’s why it’s recommended bc it won’t cause build up. If you believe your leave in conditioner won’t cause build up then I guess it’s worth a try but just be careful with it.
Thank you💖
Awww, you’re so welcome! Thanks for tuning in 💕
Do use rose water for a couple of weeks and use regular tap water and go back and forth with that ? Is that fine ?
That’s definitely fine! That’s what I do 😊💕
Im two months in ❤
Congratulations loveee!!!! 🎉💖🥳✨💗
@@AlexisHarris Thank You.
Aloe the plant 🪴, and,wild growth, oil 🛢
It's your tap water that made your hair dry.....you need distilled water
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
