The Best Oils For Your Locs: From A Loctician | Essential Oils vs Carrier Oils + How to Use Them
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- By far the most commonly asked question from my loc clients and my youtube supporters is “what oils should I use on my locs?” In this video, I share my favorite oils to use on locs and what I recommend to my clients. I also describe the difference between essential oils and carrier oils, as this must be understood before choosing the best oils that you need for your hair. Many of the oils mentioned help to combat things like itching, dandruff, psoriasis, inflammation, and more. Comment below if there’s an oil that you love that I didn’t mention! It’s a community here ♥️

I have worn my 4c hair short for years as I love how it brings out my facial features. However, I am now growing my locs and I'm excited to show you all the journey and how I navigate what some people consider the "awkward/ugly stages". It does not have to be awkward or ugly!

Blessings Courtney, I do not know what you believe in but I want to let you know by the Holy Spirit of God that you are called to be a Prophetess in the Kingdom of God (YHWH). Enquire of Jesus Christ and draw closer to him all you need and are looking for is in him, Jesus is the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father but by Yeshua Jesus Christ. Shalom. I pray that you allow him to raise you up and use you mightily in Jesus name, He wants to use you to be one of his end-time warriors and also to break generational curses off of your bloodline and the generations to come. All I did was look up on UA-cam best products for my locs lol I came on your page and led by the Spirit of God to write this to you Glory to God. Without being born again no man will see the Kingdom of God you have a purpose and destiny to fulfill in this life beloved you are amongst his chosen.
I mix sweet almond oil, Jamaican castor oil, and rose water together and spray my hair..works beautifully 🥰
As a starter locer😁 do you spray your hair everyday
@@Lizzybaby._.have u found out yet
How often
@@Lizzybaby._. when I started loccing my hair two years ago...I just mixed aloe vera juice and water and sprayed that. It's the water that loccs your hair..I use the the above mixture for daily maintenance ❤
@@thetraveldynasty7915 daily..my scalp is thirsty lol😅👌🏾💯❤ I spray my scalp heavily...then massage throughout my locs
I'm So excited to have found this video... I'm debating starting my shoulder length curly hair and this was so helpful. The hair style in your profile pic is stunning 😍
I’m one month into my loc journey and I’m so excited to mix and match these types of oils to find my perfect solution!
Looking to start some locs. Nervous to do something wrong. But also excited
Your videos have really helped
I’m so glad I found this video. Ive been loc’d for a little over a year. I used black castor oil all over my micro locs a few months ago. Like I drowned my hair in it thinking I was doing something and had the nerve not to have a bonnet on every night 🤦🏾♀️ my hair has so much build up especially in the back. I’m trying to get rid of this build up. But I’m glad I now know what to use moving forward thanks to this video.
Can you do a video on how to remove lint and build up
5:24 PM in the afternoon I was searching on my phone for special oils to put on my Locs. Thank you so much for your information and telling me the truth. Enjoy the rest of your day.❤
This info is doing so much of my hair/locks thank you😘
I have had locks for a mounth now and my hair looks amazing thanks to the info in your videos
You helped me out more then any other video I’ve watched so for. Thank you so much for explaining everything the way you did appreciate you Queen
It’s my pleasure! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Good info! I have been using a lot of the oils you mentioned in a product I bought online. This video confirms I have been doing the right thing. Thanks!
What product are you using?
Great Video & advice, Thank you!! I’m considering locs, just researching the care they need.
Thank you so much for the information 😊💕 I’ve been waiting on this one!
It’s my pleasure! Thanks for watching ♥️
Thank you for explaining the difference between essential and carrier oils. Its important to know the difference. I have been using tea tree oil, rosemary ,jojoba and Fruit of the earth aloe vera juice and rosewater on my locs for about 21/2 years and they are flourishing and almost to the middle of my back. I recently received my sweet almond oil, grapeseed and seaseme seed oil to use as a sealer for my tips . I just ordered some eucalyptus , and coconut oil that I plan to mix with the Jojoba. Going to get some Lemongrass as well. But your video was very educational and will use as a guide with my current essential and carrier oils to make sure I'm using them properly. I also subscribed to your channel. Thank you!
Love love love this video! Had my locs for 9yrs and counting. Looking to get some moisture back into these babies 😆☺️
This was actually the most advice ive gotten so far. I am a caucasin male with type 2Bish hair and ive been struggling with dry scalp forever now
Started my twist yesterday im thankful for all the information
Your eyebrows are soooooo perfect omg !!!! Thank you for this video, so informative. Finally someone who warns people that essencial oils need to be diluted
I love you sis thsnk you for answering the fall and doing what you do. I'm just starting out myself and I must say you are one of my teachers 🥰
You are so welcome! thanks for watching and subbing!
Wow thank you so much I’ve had my locs for 8 years and I’m just learning this. That’s probably why my scalp has so much issues. I’ve been using the oils wrong
Organic Rose Water and Distilled Water works wonder on my Locs everyday for moisturizer! Macadamia Healing Oil Tx is nice a light on your hair and scalp whenever it feels dry! I would love to try your product, will have to order!
Thanks for the great knowledge and advice!!
I mix black seed oil in my castor, rosemary and coconut oils I have mad growth😊
Great video! Clear and to the point
Wow, am a starter loc I started June 14 and have now been applying any oils on my cos I didn't know which to use but with this video have learned a lot from it .......Thanks very much
I think I will have to start with the peppermint oil + jojoba oil .
hey luv i love your videos! i watch them because my boyfriend had love and they taught me a lottt thank you so much!!
My pleasure!!!
Very informative… my loc journey is almost two years and my hair is healthy. I appreciate your information.
THANK YOUUUUU! I love this so much especially as an aspiring loctitian!
You're so welcome! We should connect!
FINALLY I’ve found a video that’s gonna tell me every oil I should use and how to use it. I’ve been searching 😩my scalp has been itching so bad I know I need to wash it but my hair is extremely dry I wanted to find something to moisturize it first THANK YOU
My pleasure! So happy it helped you!
Did you find something?
I believe this video was one of the most informed videos about dreadlocks I've seen so far me personally, I'm trying to get certain products and make my own combination for my locs because I want mine to look healthier to not itch as much and also to grow and I feel like a lot of products offer that but when you use them it doesn't work. So what products do you use for that to work because I only get mine washed once a month, because I heard that washing your hair more than once a month will damage your locs
Thanks so much for this video.. So helpful with my new locs
thank you so much you are a blessing. look forward to more tips and insights.
My pleasure! I have quite a few other video! Be sure to check them out ♥️
Yes!!! I love peppermint, Tea Tree oil, and Vitamin E oils that I mix together to put on my Locks.
Oooo 😍
Do you mix it with water or juss straight oils?
My hair itching as I write this
@@stuymejr4657 lol, my scalp is itching to.
You’re such a beautiful lady… thanks for this video and your personality. 😊
I’ve been using peppermint tea tree rosemary lavender jojoba black Jamaican Castro and wild growth oil for my locs. I also use aloe Vera juice as a moisturizer.I’ll be 6 months on the 16th.
Thankyou for all information I loved it. I want to share my spritzer that I use daily on my hair with you. Aloe vera blended very well and green tea. Add a few drop of lavender, rosemary and jojoba essential oils to it aswell and mix well. My dreadlocks are feeling amazing and I can actually feel how the aloe seals the dreads and the greent tea has anti oxidants so it helps protect the hair and then the oils are nicely penetrated into your dreadlock. I spray on sometimes twice a day. Two leaves aloe and 3 cups of green tea, I forgot to mention that. I leave it in my hair aswell until every wash and I wash every 4th day or 3rd depending. Mine are not matured yet so I'm doing everything to help the process and I believe if you keep your dreads nice and clean with a sulphate free clarifying shampoo it works well. Then before it gets dry I spray Mt mixture on there. It helps aswell then with the fine loose hair that might of come loose while you where washing your hair. I dread my own hair and that's a bonus. Anyways I hope you don't mind me sharing. I was just so excited to see you also like the same things as me and I want to try lemon grass aswell now. Loads of blessings for you ❤
I LOVE Aloe Vera. I actually use it in my products as well!
Love the earrings! The video is soooooooo informative! Thank you!!!
You mean the ones you made? ☺️ i love them too! thanks for watching babesss
I've been using argon oil, jojoba oil, and peppermint oil on my locs. I recently added a lemon eucalyptus essential oil to my mix. It has been working wonders. Love this video!!! I was so scared to use Jamaican black castor oil lol. It grows my hair so good, but it is wayyy to thick for my locs
Yes it is way too thick, but the mixture your described sounds amazing! 💜
I just subscribed to your channel after discovering your loc journey. The locs are beautiful, and your information is so on point. I plan on passing your information and sharing your channel. Thank you for commitment to the natural community!
@@gagagirlfly82 thankssss a bunch! I truly appreciate it!
That sounds beautiful sis. ✨ Which way do you use them? Jojoba for scalp only and argan for the rest of your locs or..
@@yjadalyn1 Jojoba mostly for the scalp. But my scalp so sensitive these days, vitamin E is something that don't irritate me so I love it as well
Very informative video! Thank you!
It’s my pleasure! ♥️
Love, Love your video!
Thank you!
I mix mct oil and tea tree oil and spritz my hair periodically. My locs are doing well.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yes my sons locs are sooo dang dry!!!! Then oil same as the L.O.C method like for natural hair! Got it! And I need that oooh baby!
Yes!! Let me know how that works for his hair 🙏🏾 And it’s coming. Make sure you’re tuned into my next couple videos!
i made a mixture of water, jojoba oil, olive oil and lavender oil and aloe vera gel into my spray bottle to use every now and then on my starter locs. i am 9wks in.
White girl with very thin hair strands here. I started a new hair regimine with hair oils recently, lots of compliments. It includes wearing bonnets at night (I was told that's a black thing), hair oil with Rosemary after shampoos or when dry at night, and dry shampoo any time hair is oily for the rest of the week. It's worked really well. A cross section of our hair might be different but I am learning a lot watching hair videos from a diverse set of youtubers. Thanks for this video ! ♥️
To avoid too much oil I half fill am eye dropper and without squeezing the bulb I just drag it over my scalp, then make a bun any stab the bun a few times. After that I put a satin bonnet on and go to bed.
The lies. About saying it’s a black girl thing!!! LIES! 😂😂😂
@@LovettbalngoodsLLC I found it beleivable up here in the north, but once it worked for my thin azz hair I figured as much. ❤️
Hello Queen☀️✨I'm new to your page and huntie I'm happy I found your content. Where are you located? This gone Sound crazy..but as I was watching this video towards the end I had a thought of driving to get my locs redone by You🤔 yeah real crazy kaws I hate to drive🤨I had my locs for almost 3 yrs. Started them in 2019 after my mother passed. It was a long hard journey to healing and by November of last year they began to show the struggle really was real. I have so much respect for the origin and history of locs, I refuse to walk around wit my locs looking exactly like wut I had been threw time a thousand...exactly🥴so I cut them off and burned them. Why burn them? Glad you asked✨I truly believe they held all the pain, heart aches, struggles, trauma and every ounce of negative energy I had carried with me all that time. Once I began to heal I still felt blocked and stagnant, but once I cut them off, prayed over them and released them with love. I burned them with Roses, lavender, sage and cinnamon under the New Moon. Since I did that it's been different both mentally and spiritually, I'm focused and grounded more than I e ever felt since I started my journey. I have osteoarthritis, my hands and arms dnt hold up well for certain things and doing my own locs is one of them. I'm so particular about my energy and those round me I jes can't let anybody put they hands in my head🥴. So I've been in search for a locologist that treat the clients hair like they would their own as well as drop knowledge when necessary concerning there hair, mind, body and spirit. It's been a struggle here in NC. I'm at that place in my life that I'll travel to get what I want if need be. I dibble and dabble in herbal concoctions as well, is I grow my own herbs in my yard all year round. I'ma take the next few days to watch all of your videos, and see if travel is in the stars for me any time soon😁Be well my dear new friend✨☀️🙏
Love your videos... 💕
Thank you for your commitment 💯
Wish your were in the UK☹️
My pleasure! Thanks for watching 💓
I just wanna say thank you so much❤❤❤❤
But God! Won't He Do it!
Congratulations 🎉 🎉🎉
During my 2 1/2 yrs going on 3 yrs (coming June 2022) Loc journey, the regimen I use is spring water/rose water followed by the oils of choice & a satin/silk scarf on my hair has been so good so far. TFS this video ✨
🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥
Do you use the spring/rosewater and oil as a daily moisturizer or are you using them to retwist your locs?
@@alishawhite4958 I only use it when moisturizing my locs. It can also work for retwisting, I have done it maybe once or twice for a retwist.
Yep I do the same for mines as well!
Can I combine the oil mix to water to spray on??!😱😁👍 or realy?!
Thank you so much for this video! I found it extremely helpful. What are your thoughts on avocado oil?
Thank you for this! I made an oil for my hair just yesterday with many of these oils! I use doTerra Essential oils: peppermint, rosemary, geranium, lavender, tea, tree, ylang ylang and clary sage….. Carrier oils: avocado oil, olive oil, black castor oil, fractionated coconut oil
What is terra oils and carrier oils w
Thank you so much for sharing this video I greatly appreciate it❤
You are so welcome ♥️
Hi and thank you for the advice/information on locs and the caring of our new locs. I’m 13 days into the loc journey and feeling less stressed and more comfortable with handling my new choices.
Dnt stress or you will not enjoy the journey. Im 5yrs in
@@phoenixphoenix8868 thank you, I’ll try not to. I appreciate your reply & advice🙏🏽☺️
@@DodgyDebb you are welcome
ty fr shawty for the info u goated asl !
I appreciate the love! 💓
Hi Courtney,
Thank you for this video. I not great about watching what I eat but I try. Has diet been mentioned? It seems to me that I could be “short circuiting” my starter loc journey & undercut your great advice by not drinking plenty of water, not downing veggies, eating late in the evening and not getting plenty of rest?
Such a great video! For my daily water based spray, I add vegetable glycerin and it has been a game changer! Keeps the moisture in but also helps the hair feel soft and malleable. I wonder if anyone else does this?
🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️🙋🏾♀️
Definitely going to try!
Thank you for this video!
I use a lot of these oils as a loose natural and its great to know that I can bring them into my loc journey! Back in the earlier days of learning my natural hair, I noticed that the coconut and olive oil wouldn't penetrate properly (now I know that I wasn't just tripping) so I switched to using Avocado oil as my main carrier oil. Can I use it with locs as well?
Yes, what our hair needs is pretty simple. Not much changes in the transition from loose to loc’d! But I’m here to share the differences as well 🙌🏾
i just bought my first bottle of "Ohh Baby" Lets GO!
Thank you SO much for your support! I pray it's working for you!
How I can order "oh baby oil " please?
4 drops of Peppermint x Tree Tea Oil
Mix it with some aqua.
I spray my hair 1-2 times a day.
Going for my retwist Dec 20th.
Love that!
thanks
What is Aqua?
@@marlyndastuckey-taylor7897water in spanish
I like to use rose water/aloe Vera juice then message my scalp with mielle rosemary Mint oil
Literally standing in the hair care isle listening to this gem…. Bout to grab sum Rosemary/Mint oil to mix in with sum jojoba oil. Hope this works to limit the itching. Thanks sis..!
Oo yes that should be a good combo!! Make sure water is somewhere in your routine also 😉
@@CourtneyGrayton Oh absolutely.. Water is a must. Even allow the steam to do its thing in the shower. Been using aloe Vera juice mixed with distilled water then seal with the oil. Quick question tho. I work out almost daily. Coils completely unraveling left n right. How often should I bother trying to fix them..? I’m using Loc N gel.. Should I use gel and fix as needed (almost every other day) or is that too much..? Sorry for the multiple questions. Last one I promise :) and thank you..!
She can play in my locs all she want 😍
I just came across your video. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video ma'am
I use a mix of olive oil and rosemary essential oil for my locs.
Do I apply them to both my scalp and hair?
Thank you SIS. I am thinking about getting locks but I am concerned about the area the crown of my head where the hair is thin... Any suggestions? ☺
I’m a new follower. I’m also about to try and start my coil locs. Can you please share some hair products that are good to use, other than the oils please.
I just got my locs this week and I've seen many videos a lot of them do mention to find your own combo of hair products that work best for you. I also saw you mentioned that olive oil is good but you recommended that you mix it with something do you think argan oil would be a good mix with olive oil?
Thanks everybody for the tips
How do you properly grow out an afro as a male. What daily steps should I take to prepare for a future locing? Trying to avoid damaged hair and use the right profucts. I think I have 4C hair.
Definitely check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/WQnPpZB6_es/v-deo.html - I explained the simple method I’m using to regrow my hair out for locs! You mainly want to keep it moisturized and use low-manipulation protective styles. I shared products that I’m using in that video!
Yes i use some of the same products and others in my locks as well.
Love that!
Great video!! I'm a new subscriber to your channel
I have went through so many different oils, I was using rosewater but it was making my hair brittle and dry, so I stopped using it
Now I use Shea Moisture Leave In Conditioner mixed with purified water with drops off Wild Growth Oil, Talia Wajjid African Healing Oil, Jamaican Black Castor Oil
I spray my hair with this mixture then I oil my scalp with my oil mixture I have created: Peppermint Oil, Tea Tree, Wild Growth, Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Taliah Wajjid African Healing Oil
I swear my hair has done a complete turnaround, its fluffy and full and it has so much body and its growing so good now!!
This sounds good
Oh my gosh finally someone that the rose water does the same thing too! I think people thought that I was crazy but it was literally drying my scalp out and causing me to have so much dandruff even though I was adding oil to it after I was putting it on my scalp afterwards! I also switched back to just using the Shea Moisture Leave in Condition but just to get my scalp back right. Currently looking for a moisturizer to spritz my hair with every day so glad I found your comment.
@@TheGannon29 Yesssss Queen!! I'm glad I could help, I wish you the best on your journey!
Rose water makes my hair dry and brittle too🙄🙄I love roses but not on my locs
@@TheGannon29 was it rosewater with glycerin??
Keep doing your thing im new to your channel
Very informative!😀
Glad it helped!
❤Love your videos. I wish I could have met you before I moved from the DMV area. Do you have at recommendations for the UK for a loctician? Do you ship overseas or to APO boxes for military?
New subby here! Love your videos! Just wondering when mixing the essential oils with the carriers oils is there a ratio in which they should be mixed?
Thank you! 🫶🏾 and with essential oils, it should be only several DROPS added to several OUNCES of your carrier oil. Hope that helps! 💚
Show me how to moisturize and then I'll. What do i use? What is a daily routine?
I use lavender,apricot and aloe Vera oil with water it be having my hair smelling and feeling godlike!
Sounds good!! 🙌🏾
3 days strong in my loc journey😅❤
Thanks this is very helpful
It is my pleasure!!
Thank you so much I never knew nothing about carrier oils I have some scabs on my scalp I went to see somebody about this got some peppermint shampoo which is working …I’m that person that just put oil in his hair and dip product build up is rea I appreciate it ima check your oil out
My mix is macadamia, jojoba, and grapeseed!
With a little rosemary
Loved it ❤️❤️👍👌
Thank you!
first time hearing about your products would like to know more
What’s the best shampoo and conditioner for locs! I’ve been loc’ed for a little over 3yrs…❤❤❤
Great info!
Glad it was helpful!
I see you with the propagated snake plant leave in the vase behind you. Have you transferred it to soil now?
damn i learned alot..thank u love🙏🏾
My pleasure!
@@CourtneyGrayton appreciative queen ..
This is a GREAT VIDEO
I just use vitamin e oil and water. That’s it 😬. And wash it. ❤. These tips are great for Natural hairs. But for LOCS some people can’t use half of these oils on your hair. It can also thin it. Be careful. You don’t need much for Locs to be healthy. Just take care of yourself, what you put in your body and in Your hair. Don’t let many hands in your hair. I am the ONLY one who touches my hair. And it’s Healthy , thick, and beautiful!! ❤❤ thanks for the video!!
You’re welcome! I listed many oils so people can find what works for them. All of these are good options, unless I specifically stated otherwise.
THANKS FOR EDUCATING ME
It’s my pleasure! ♥️
you speak sense B
🙏🏾♥️
I started using "WILD GROWTH OIL" CONSISISTENLY SINCE FEBRUARY with Great SUCCESS.
Where did u get it from?
@@mikelament978you can get it from the african beauty supply store or amazon
I need to grow my edges. Do you think it will help with that?
@@Roxville23 use jamaican black castor oil it will grow in so thick & gently massage it in … no matter what you decide to use , massage it in cus stimulation gets the blood flow going in that spot
@@TheRealShanyeWest I have been using Jamaican castor oil since I went natural but no improvements when it comes to my edges. I am even thinking of hair transplant at this stage 😩
Thank you & also what brand is the best to buy concerning those oils?
I don’t have a specific brand to recommend but make sure they are PURE essential oils.
Thanks for saying oils are not moisturizers, I’ve been using oil on my locs 2 times a week and my scalp would still be dry. I’m going to use water when I oil my scalp and see how it goes
steam your hair then seal with a little little bit of a lightweight oil ( like jojoba oil)
How’d it go
Thank you for this video!! when will your Ohh Baby oil be back in stock????
It's my pleasure! Today!
What is the site to order?
Please tell me what combination I would use to straight promote hair growth.
I workout a lot and I am a woman that sweats from her crown so what would be the best method for me to clean and moisturize my scalp during the starter loc/loc journey?
I use moringa oil. its great for hair but im not sure if it would be more effective with a carrier oil
Quick question, my hair looks like yours , same length but i got coils, how should i moisturizer my starter locs, got them done 12/21/22 .. i see a lot of videos talking about staying a most of water on my starter locs because it’s helps with loccin up. Do you think i should spray mist of water on my hair ?
Hey everyone! How often should I oil my Locs?
Also, is peppermint and and sweet almond oil a good combination?
Question how do you feel about mango and lime products like their moisturizer and tingle shampoo
I have never used their products but all of my clients who have report having issues. They’ve been said to be drying and cause buildup on locs
Please tell me how do I oil my hair? This is a serious question. Do I apply the oil to the scalp and my twist and massage it or just my scalp and massage it? How aggressive should I be when I massage? I have starter comb twists and I’m confused bout this process.
I normally say apply directly to your scalp, and then rub some oil in your hands to put it on the length of your hair. No need to be aggressive, just massage it in your scalp with the pads of your fingers
