How to Condition Locs DIY Herbal Tea Steam

  • In this video I show you how I condition my locs after washing without using heavy cream-based over the counter conditioners. I make an herbal tea rinse & steam to infuse my hair and scalp with nutrients that moisturize as well as strengthen my hair follicles. Because I suffer from Seborrheic Dermatitis, I am always looking for the most healthy options for my hair and scalp. I hope you find this helpful :)
    The hair steamer I use is by the brand Red Pro. I purchased it at my local beauty supply on sale for $80. It also has a facial steamer attachment.
    Thank you for watching, liking, and subscribing :)

    Greetings. You are my go to for my locs, as you are calm, non chatty and you stay on topic without judgement. Frankly, I'm tired of posers, long intros, lectures on what and what I SHOULD do for my hair, selling products at great expense for the average working (or non working) person and such. Thank you! I also love that your husband so patiently washes your hair.

    I know this is late, but Yannie the Locologist name dropped you in a video and I had to come over. I have baby locs and I am looking for ways to naturally moisturize my locs without using heavy creams. This really helped and your locs are super beautiful.

    My hair also does not like the heavy products or oil. The steam gives me such bounce and a natural shine.

    I'm only 2 weeks in..total newbie, and I have asked TONS of locticians (professionals) about steaming locs to maintain a healthy balance and moisture...they look at me like I'm crazy.
    Once my locs have matured, I'm doing it...this video just solidified my decision! Thank you, LC! xo. #subbed

    So this may seem like a silly question, but after washing with your natural shampoo, am I suppose to dry my hair first then do the rinse and steam or wash steam, steam, then rinse with herbal conditioning, then steam….. sorry, I’m a little lost

    Can you use essentials oils instead of the fresh herbs?

    • @heritagewellnessandbeauty130
      @heritagewellnessandbeauty130 4 года назад +3

      I do....All benefits can be got by just boiling 2 cups of water and bring it to boil. After boiling remove from fire and add two drops of your favourite essential oil. Make a tent only for your hair. Keep your face outside. Let the steam infuse the oil in your scalp. Do it twice a week and see how your hair condition changes. No rinsing,,, nothing. U can do this anytime in washed or unwashed hair. Once or twice a week of 5 minutes session is enough. If u want u can style your hair and go to work.

    Great Instructional video! I've got the herbal rinse ingredients...now I just need a hood steamer. I've got a QRedew, but it's not enough. I've been looking on and off for a good reasonably priced hood steamer for some time, but the reviews have been sketchy. Have you had this Red Pro for a while?

    • @LocCrush
      @LocCrush  7 лет назад +1

      Windsingerful I've only had it for a few months. I haven't had any problems with it. I follow the directions provided to take care of it - use distilled water and empty the water out of the hood after each use.

    • @LocCrush

      Windsingerful and I only use it for the recommended amount of time - if you use the "max" amount of water that turns out to be 15-20 minutes.
