To reduce buildup in your locs, try these methods:

1. Regularly wash your locs with a residue-free shampoo to remove dirt and buildup.

2. Avoid using heavy hair products like gels, waxes, or oils that can cause residue buildup.

3. Dilute your hair products or use them sparingly to prevent excess buildup.

4. Use a clarifying rinse, like apple cider vinegar diluted with water, to remove buildup occasionally.

5. Pat your locs dry gently after washing, as excessive rubbing can cause frizz and more buildup.

6. Keep your scalp clean and moisturized to prevent excess oil and dirt from accumulating in your locs.

7. Consider getting a professional deep-cleansing treatment from a stylist experienced with locs.

Remember that each person's hair is different, so it may take some experimentation to find the right routine for your locs.
