    Ms Ginaaaaa & Isis!! These here products for my locs!!!!! Let me tell you - THEY ARE AWESOME! I am 6 yrs loc'd, a former cosmetologist and maintain my own loc via interlocking. I was recently searching for shampoo (and maybe conditioner?) to soften up the locs in the back of my head. All summer of 2023, I slept w/o anything on them & by winter they felt like tree bark, LOL. However, I just got my Loc'd Care Kit Friday & could hardly wait to try them Saturday. I pre-pooed & shampooed and I tell you the truth, after gently squeezing the excess water, I did not even have to use a towel!! My hair felt SUPER DUPER MOISTURIZED! I used the conditioner as a leave-in, the grooming oil & then the pomade. The whole experience was HEAVENLY!!!!! Hardly no frizz and smells DIVINE. THANK-YOU for sharing your knowledge! And shout out to my SPELMAN sis..I finished in 1989.

    I reach with my own locks, started my own locks and have never had anybody touch my locks. I'm going to start using this method but as far as all of the shea butters and olive oils that's a no-go. I don't care if you say there's no buildup there is build up and that's just science. If there's no buildup there's got to be a serious clarifying shampoo used too often.

      Hi There! When shea butter is combined with ingredients like vegetable glycerin and not beeswax or gels it has the ability to penetrate the hair shaft, not sit on top, allowing you hair to receive the nutrients it needs. Therefore, no buildup on the scalp will occur. I'll have to make a video explaining more

    • @thehouseofisisco
      @thehouseofisisco  9 місяців тому +2

      Yes our shampoo will remove buildup and help with your grey hair because it’s dye free and doesn’t contain harsh detergents. Our conditioner would be great for you as well because it’s white Shea based so doesn’t discolor your Greys! Retwisting can be done bi-weekly or monthly! It’s your preference just make sure to separate locs on wash days to avoid them from marrying together

    • @thehouseofisisco
      @thehouseofisisco  6 місяців тому +1

      Hello in my video I’m not suggesting retwisiting all to the right either. I’m training the locs to meet in the middle/ center of the head. so the locs on the left side coming into middle, locs on the right being brought into the middle.
      This brings the locs off the face the way in which your hair naturally grows. So depending on how far in your journey you are you may be able to correct them.
      I recommend booking a 101 virtual loc consultation with me so that i can assess and guide you in the right direction for your loc journey. You can book here: calendly.com/houseofisisco

      Hi Love! the great thing about our products is it doesn't need a dryer for them to melt or penetrate the hair shaft. It does this alone with your body heat. So, if no dryer is present air drying is fine, you don't need to the let the clips sit for too long but please be sure to air dry well and because locs can hold mold if not properly dry.
