- Wax Vs Aloe Vera Retwist | The reason Your Locs May Look Different!
Even though you use aloe vera in time you’re hair will also be less frizzy and just as neat, if that is what you’re going for... I’m just saying that sometimes wax can make your locs look neater quicker but with the pros of using wax there’s cons as well.
In this video I am going to be sharing my opinion about the reason you’re Locs may look different from someone hair who uses wax. Basically locs vs aloe vera! I am not saying that this is in every case but this could be an explanation.

Wow your locs look moisturized, healthy, and thick --- hoping my journey leads there too. Just beautiful
I love the Aloe vera experience!!! It gives a more clean textured look for free form locs as well ... Aloe vera has sooo many benefits TYFS♥️
You're so GORGEOUS! I love your locks and the way the tips are like chubby blunts. I keep coming back to your videos to look at them. So Beautiful :)
ssspirit thanks
Yasssss!! My loc goals because I believe we have the same texture of hair. I am in the baby loc stage and proud of it. #thicklocgang
Take it from a sister who learned the hard way.
Beeswax, gels, etc. causes build up.
It’s a wax. Your locs will develop a hard coat in your hair and is almost impossible to remove from mature locs.
Darlene Jordan what do you use for your hair.
@@jonittasmith3505 I really wish someone would answer this. They always say no wax but never give alternatives
elusive prodigy Aloe Vera gel or flaxseed gel are good alternatives. If your curl pattern is tighter then you can get away with just water, oil and something to keep the hair in place (clip or tie) until it dries.
@@iryaangelus I'll try the Aloe Vera. I have a mixed hair type so the top has a much looser curl pattern
i always use beeswax on my son anx he has no build uo but i literally use a pinky amount maybd even less less is more in ny opionion i know ppl that use that and grease and hair is booty length use what works for u boo w.e it is whether oil gel etc
Had to watch this again. Been loc'd for 3 months now and I'm only using aloe vera gel too. I'm not on any other social media besides UA-cam so sharing your journey has really gotten me to the success I have now. Keep posting! 🤗
Focused on Truth thanks a lot! I will!
"Shaft of what?!?...😒...""Get out of here." Hahaha😂
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
"Penetrate WHAT???!"😂😂😂
Just childish 😂😂😂
I appreciate that you mentioned that there’s never true “expertise”! I that’s so true. I prefer aloe gel to waxes as well. Wax may hold better, but it might not be best for the health of locs in the long run. Things that are solid at room temp and can’t be dissolved in water give me build up immediately so I stay away. Lol @the “shaft to penetrate what” comment 😂
I guess its a personal preference! Personally, I use coconut oil to retwist my hair because I didn't want the build up and I love how mines look after they have air dry.
You have some of the most Beautiful locs I’ve ever seen 😍
Tamiko Bridges thanks alot
Her locs are so beautiful. My locspiration though is nothinginadress on Instagram. Her locs are so juicy and long. I wish 🥺
Guurl, your locs have come so far. And I'm thinking I'll be using aloe vera too. But I have very soft curly hair and I fear it may not hold them together... I'll keep watching... Shalom
My Friend Elle!!! Thank you so much for mentioning me and answering my question!!! You did an excellent job girl! My locs are definitely more frizzy than my brothers, but I love them so much😍🥰🥰😍 #WomenWithLocs #NaturalHair #LocsAreBeautiful #WomenSupportingWomen
robinsonlatoya47 hey friend! Your so welcome!
8:37 that totally made my day !!!!😂😂😂😂
Locs look so beautiful, so much growth 😍 mine have the thicker fluffy bottoms as well.
OMG your hubby interrupting made me laugh soooo hard
Omg your locs are gorgeous
Beeswax saved my dreds. I have soft hair and nothing holds my hair like beeswax. People think my dreds are fake because of the neatness
Your locs might not be so great 5 years down the line when buildup destroys them 😅
Mo Mia can they just use an acv rinse like once a month
@@leyIand ive been using beeswax on my husbands dreads for 4 years from short starters to now being down his back with no problem. We use suave shampoo to remove the beeswax, and then when he gets a retwist it gets put right back in.
@@leyIand Omgg pleases shut up, It’s how you use it
Yes I love the aloe to retwist..i use rosewater too.... love your channel sis..i have 116 locs and 1 year in
Rosewater for what?? Help me!! My dreads are really long, look great always, BUT I am obsessed with Any bit of frizz so I redo my hair at least 2x a week. I want to get away from beeswax. So you mix, rosewater and aloe vera?? Or wash in rosewater and use straight aloe vera for retwist?? I noticed Due to beeswax Lint Always gets caught and I hate it.
@Sabrina rose water is for moisturizing. I spray the rose water on my hair, then use aloe vera to retwist.
Wow, this really helped me out! I didn’t know what kind of products to use for retwisting so thank you for this!! I love your channel so much! I’m 5 months into my journey and I’ve started my own UA-cam page as well. Thanks for the inspiration! 💞💞💞‼️
Thank I really appreciate your honesty and knowledge of product care. Blessing to to ur journey of teaching ❤
Intro music and really showing your locs was very nice! Thank you! I use aloe vera gel to retwist and rose water and vitamin e oil to moisture. I use Jamaican castle oil once a week for my scalp.
Your hair look so clean! Neat af!
Your locs look so healthy and beautiful.
DB101415 thanks
Hahahahaha @ ur man "what shaft of WHAT?!" 😂😂😂!!! Thanks for the info girl! 💜
let me just say i was vibinggg to that intro! your hair has grown so much & you’ve helped me alot on my journey. peace&love💖
JaQuana Mc thanks! I so glad to hear that!
You got your braces off! Also, I love your videos! I have sisterlocks but love hearing about what products you use and I live for your makeup tutorials!
This song.... I can't stop listening to it!
I don’t use product. Just get a retwist with water and then get it styled. I work out and keeping it styled keeps my hair looking neat for 2-3 weeks. The one time I let her use wax to lay my perimeter locs I noticed build up at my wash day and washed 2 more times with dawn to cut through the grease.
Please be aware that the Fruit of the Earth brand of Aloe Vera gel contains dmdm hydantoin which is a formaldehyde releasing chemical that is linked to thinning hair.
Thank youu for saying this !!
Thanks for the information. Is there a safe gel that can hold? I have thin curly hair.
I do like the neat look but I just started using aloe Vera gel (was using twist gel and aloe juice) and my hair is so moisturized now. They were very dry and crunchy before. I’m in the budding stage now and really want to have healthy hair over a certain aesthetic so we’re gonna give this a try!
You’re hair looks amazing !! Beautiful gurrrrllllll !!
Katrina Rivers thanks a lot
Well now..It really depends...Beeswax or shea butter is fine to use lightly and infrequently as in take a dab...like literally a drop rub it into your hands as if it is lotion
..this will melt it....run it on the strands palm rolling...twist your roots with whatever water soluble gel you like use clips to keep in place and sit under cool dryer. People run into issues when they use the wax as if it is a gel. If you have the greasy build up...use a natural product from the earth to scrub with shampoo...such as coffee or ground up shells of nuts...use some seeded berries...be creative and keep you hair healthy.
I’m one year in and I have sisterlocs but sometimes I wish I had traditional locs because I love the thickness. I retighten my hair with a tool, sometimes I use Murray’s twist and loc gel to palm roll my hair when it’s super frizzy.
I have sisterlocks. I am getting my hair combined next week to have traditional. They method she uses I wont have tails. Im so excited. I didn't realize how much I love the thickness.
Beautiful locs, beautiful woman, and your voice is soothing
thank you!
Hey fam, I have to say I love your locs. They look clean, healthy and that's my goal. I dig the look also. I see those people with the prefect locs and that's fine but not for me. I'm pretty early in my loc journey, only 7 months. I started with longer hair to begin so initially it was a challenge. I haven't been back for a retwist since the locing process started. Mostly because of the covid-19 deal but also because I didn't feel like I needed it. I didn't care for the gel used in my hair because it did seem to leave build up and in my research too many frequent retwists put stress on the hair. I have fine hair as it is. As I get into this, I tried a few products to see what works for me and I'm to the point now where I feel less is more. I've seen too many people well into their loc journey and their hair looks hazy. I suspect it's the products including gels and wax. I wash and use sweet almond and jojoba. The aloe vera is the newest addition when I do a pseudo-retwist to neaten things up after a wash. My curl pattern isn't super tight so, I have to use something. Glad I stumbled upon your comparison.
I use eco styler and or aloe Vera. No buildup. Works for me
Kiz Marie good idea! I never thought to use Eco. I used it when my hair was loose natural. Imma try it!
Thank goodness !! I thought I was the only one who started my locs using eco styler gel !
I started using alovera gel a few retwist back. Never used wax on my locs. But my scalp don't like any gels or greasy gels. Great vid😊 people ask me why my ends are so frizzy 🤔 I tell them it's how my locs formed. I see your ends formed similar to mines.
Your hair has gained so much length. It looks amazing. How far along are you now?
Syreetta K thanks 2years 5 months I think lol! Time is flying
What song was in the intro? I was jammin lol.
Yazzie Mitchell did realize it wasn’t I. The description, I’ll put it in today
Song link just added sorry took so long!
That song is 😏yes
Lol, l was too
😂😂
I agree sis I'm going to use aloe now tanxs stay loc'D my loc sis
You're so beautiful! And your locs are gorgeous!
You've got a new subscriber 😀
Beautiful thick locks, love em 💯
This intro to this video is everything.... the music is beautiful and now I was to go wash and twist
Girlllllll your locs are gorgeousssss 😍❤️
I use Aloe Vera gel to retwist my love and I still get buildup. I’ve been loc’d for only 3months now. Do you know why I still get build up and do you ever get any buildup with aloe Vera gel. I use fruit of the earth 100% aloe Vera gel. Please help
Hair looks poppin
Hadiah Peters thanks!
Your love locs are absolutely beautiful
I recently switched to aloe vera gel coz of the build up from using wax. Any suggestions for eliminating build up? like forever?
I used wax in my hair and its so greaasy now these are two strands not locd yet I hope I didn't mess up my start already my head is itchy too ugh
You obviously take great care of your hair. I have used both and I think wax is a bad idea over time. My retwist never lastvecause I hate the drying process. I twist and go.
Your hair is beautiful
Such pretty locs
AKIYIAKELLY thanks
I actually use homemade flaxseed gel combined with aloe Vera and essential oils.
Great advice, thank u for sharing.
I love it, I hope mine turn out this way.
🤣ur husband in the back "shaft of whattt?"🤦♀️😭
What brand of aloe Vera do you use?
Him coming in at the wrong time had me cracking up 😂😂😂
Luv your Loc video’s! TFS!!! 💃🏾
I AM SHE SHE IS I thanks
How long did it take for your locs to thicken up?
My mom and I have been using beewax for years at first she would only used gels for new growth but when my dreads gotten thicker and started to lock up I used beewax
And in my experience beewax only works if you dry your hair
But I still want to try aloe vera for my dreads but I will still use beewax
I have a super sensitive scalp I can't even use normal dandruff shampoo I have to use medicated one from my doctor
But I prefer beewax on dry hair when twisting but I moisturize my hair as well natural hot oil treatments
Remember your hair is like your own tree do what's best for you
But if you don't want neater and long lasting twist natural beewax is the best
But I will try aloe vera bcoz it's really good for moisturizing everything on your body 😂😂
I love a little frizz i dont retwist often
Latonij Frazier née meee tooo
How long do you leave the retwist before you wash again? I got curly soft hair like you, when I got my retwist I left it for 2 weeks, and when I washed it all came right out
DrayWolf I try to make it last a good 3 week and yes it is going to wash right out when you wash.
Hahahaha! Nasty!
That is so funny!
I like that you can do your videos so naturally in front of him.
I wish I had thick locs like this
Great video! Thank you!!!
i love that aloe you use i was using it too til i found out it has DMDM in it, not good for our hair at all😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😒
8:42 MESS 😂😂😂
Can you start off your locs with aloe Vera? If not what else do you suggest?
Nessah L yes, you can.
Budded ends 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
You hair is fantastic
What brand is a good gel to buy
Song name in the beginning pls? 😍😍😍
Simply Natural just added to drop box
Helpppp I’ve been doing my dreads for over three years going on four and I was using gel and wax and now I’m wanting to try something else due to lox not locking after a week it goes back to looking like I didn’t have retwist my hair and just trying to figure things out thanks
Michael Flowers ua-cam.com/video/Le0cWskkdPE/v-deo.html this video will explain.
Ok what about wax to start u off with dreads
Hi I’m new to your channel and I just watched your first retwist and you mentioned that your daughter did some of your twist in the opposite direction than you did. Are you still twisting in two different directions?
NaturallyMoe good question! no I’m not, All clockwise now.
I thought most people start using the wax years ago. It stays in your hair, it collects build up and just because something is natural doesn’t mean it’s good for your hair
Question. Since I’ve been following your journey. Have you done an acv rinse (I’m 12 mos locd ) ? I want to do one but I live in New York and it’s really cold. I don’t my hair to get even more dry
Rose Mary I have not done an accident rinse yet. I don’t like the smell lol
You can do it in the summer. You really only need to do the ACV/Baking soda soak once a year as a detox to refresh your locs from what may be lingering in your locs from the previous year.
Honey Adeniyi thank you 😊. Guess I will be waiting til it warms up. It’s freezing in New York
@@ElizabethRosette accident rinse? lol. I really needed some laughter today. Ty.
Yours loc look amazing and great video just subscribe to your channel stay loc'd one ❤....
What do you do if you are having thinner roots for your locs?
Giselle Sancho-Lee If it were me I’d combine.
@@ElizabethRosette Morning hmm okay. Have you ever had to combine your locs? Is it weird if I let it fall out and reattach it to another loc ?
Giselle Sancho-Lee yes, I have a couple I’ve combined. I know it possible but I tried that and it did not work for me!
@@ElizabethRosette Very true, I agree. Its just that I have to mentally shift myself from thinking that the more # locs you have is better then having thick and strong locs
thank you
broo, no offence but can you cut out the two full minutes of you flipping your hair around? or at least put it at the end? I came for the information, not to watch you preen to some background music. It looks good, sure. But did i need to watch three hours of it? No. honestly a still image would have gotten the point across. thx.
Hey none taken.
Unfortunately you’re probably the only one who doesn’t enjoy that portion so I would say “no, I’m not going to cut it out or put it at the end.” I’m sure there’s other channels that would better suit your preference.
She probably woulda loved it if you didn’t decide to throw your useless comment into her comments section but hey, ig u can’t always get wat u want , if u don’t like the way SHE edits HER videos then maybe not watching them at all would suffice, or you’re just a negative person who wants to pick on one thing that u find inconvenient instead of dwelling on the other 99.8% of the video that was very informative and helpful, maybe you’re just a natural Grinch who knows.🤷🏽♀️ ( I enjoyed the FULL 2 minutes Elizabethhh!)🥰
Should I cover my locks when I shower?
I do but once I'm done, I take my cap off for the moisture.
You're pretty. New subscriber
+Jadeisha Christopher thank you 😊
Your husband 🤣🤣🤣
Dude in the background bro wild😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great info. Lo!z at shaft
Your bf was listening tho lol
using wax in your hair just sounds like an oxymoron… buildup/mold, which will have an offensive odor over time no matter how often you wash them…
Use the shaft to penetrate what? 😂😂
