What are the best products for locs? This question will inevitably produce different answers depending on who you ask because there are so many varying philosophies on hair locking. To better phrase the question, you should consider asking “what products will keep my locs free of build up and healthy?” And the answer to that question is a product line specifically formulated for locs— Crown Elements!
The Crown Elements Collection: The Best Products for Locs
The products featured in the Crown Elements collection are some of the best products for locs because they’re formulated to nourish the hair and scalp. The NuGrowth essentials collection contains all the basics for moisturizing, cleansing, conditioning and protecting your locs.
Moisturizers for Locs
Maintaining moisture in locs is critical for length retention and the overall health of the hair. The NuGrowth essentials collection features two moisturizers for locs— “Pure Scalp” and “Moisture Infusion”.
Pure Scalp
The Pure Scalp is a must-have product to alleviate itchy scalp and/or to control odor and sweat after a workout. The Pure Scalp is also great for Sisterlocks because it is light enough to be used immediately after installation.

The moisture Infusion is an herbal-infused mist with hydrating ingredients such as rosewater and aloe. You can use the moisture Infusion on a daily basis as a refresher for your locs and stop worrying about dryness.
Cleansing Products for Locs
Carbon Tea Tree Shampoo
The Carbon Tea Tree shampoo is one of my favorite shampoos because it is sulfate-free and uses natural ingredients to detoxify the hair and scalp. When I use it in the Salon, most of my guests describe the feeling as “magical”!
Scalp Revitalizer
The Scalp Revitalizer is a must have for starter locs and newly established sisterlocks because it allows you to thoroughly scratch your scalp and lift flakes without disrupting for the locking process.

Thanks for sharing. I just started my locs journey 4 weeks ago. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I was told that I should wait 3 months before retwisting. My stylist recommendation is every 4 weeks until my hair locs and then every 6-8 weeks. Do you think this is the best recommendation?

yes every 4 weeks is ideal for retwisting, not 90 days.
