How to use Aloe Vera on Locs

 


To use Aloe Vera on your locs, follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Aloe Vera gel: Extract the gel from fresh Aloe Vera leaves or use store-bought Aloe Vera gel. Ensure it is pure and free from any added chemicals.

2. Cleanse your locs: Start with clean locs by washing them with a gentle shampoo. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

3. Apply the Aloe Vera gel: Take a small amount of Aloe Vera gel and rub it between your palms. Gently massage the gel into your locs, starting from the roots and working your way down to the tips.


4. Focus on the scalp: Pay special attention to the scalp as Aloe Vera can help soothe any irritation or itchiness and promote a healthy scalp.


5. Leave it in: You can leave the Aloe Vera gel in your locs without rinsing it out. It will provide moisture and nourishment to your hair.


6. Repeat as needed: Depending on your hair's condition, you can use Aloe Vera on your locs a few times a week or as frequently as you like.


Remember to do a patch test before applying Aloe Vera all over your locs to check for any possible allergic reactions. Enjoy the benefits of Aloe Vera for your locs

What is the difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil and regular Castor oil?

Image
The main difference between Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) and regular castor oil lies in their processing methods, color, composition, and potential benefits for hair and skin. Here’s a breakdown: 1. Processing Method  • Jamaican Black Castor Oil: Made by roasting castor beans, which are then crushed and boiled to extract the oil. The ash from the roasting process gives JBCO its dark color and slightly smoky scent.  • Regular Castor Oil: Typically cold-pressed or processed without roasting the beans, resulting in a pale yellow or clear oil with no ash content. 2. Color and Consistency  • JBCO: Dark brown to black in color, thicker in consistency due to the ash content.  • Regular Castor Oil: Light yellow or clear with a thinner consistency. 3. pH Levels  • JBCO: Has a slightly higher pH due to the ash, making it more alkaline. This can help open up the hair cuticle and promote moisture absorption in some cases.  • Regular Castor Oil: More neutral in pH, ...

DiscoveringNatural Hair Coaching

  Get To Know Me My name is Sola Awe and I am so happy you found this page. I am a licensed hair coach and have been a natural hair enthusiast since 2011 after I decided to transition my oldest daughter to natural hair. I have two daughters who are both natural and lovers of natural hair. My husband is also an advocate in his own way. I have a presence on social media as DiscoveringNatural that is dedicated to helping people be comfortable with their natural hair and learn how to easily care for it.  As a child, natural hair was not embraced and when I became an adult, I struggled with understanding my hair. When my oldest daughter was 4, I struggled with caring for her hair and did not have any resource to help me out, so I decided to relax her hair. After a friend invited me a natural hair event in Houston, Texas, where I reside, I knew I have found a new passion. The next day, we started my daughter's transition to natural and I followed afterwards with mine. When I discove...
