Caring for My Scalp – The Foundation of Healthy Locs

Caring for My Scalp – The Foundation of Healthy Locs

If there’s one thing I’ve learned on this loc journey, it’s that healthy locs start with a healthy scalp. Often, we focus so much on the locs themselves that we forget the importance of nurturing the scalp. But for me, keeping my scalp clean and moisturized is just as important as hydrating my locs.

Locs, by nature, hold onto oils and products, which can lead to buildup over time. This is where Moisture Love comes in. Their products are lightweight and free from heavy ingredients that clog my scalp, and that’s made a huge difference.

Here’s how I keep my scalp happy:

• Cleanse Regularly: I use a gentle shampoo once every two weeks to cleanse my scalp and locs. It’s important to remove product buildup without stripping my hair of natural oils.
• Moisturize the Scalp: After washing, I always apply the Heavenly Hydration Soaking Oil directly to my scalp. It not only moisturizes but also soothes any irritation I might have.
• Massage for Stimulation: Scalp massages are my secret weapon. I massage the oil in with my fingertips to stimulate blood flow, which promotes healthy hair growth.

The combination of a clean scalp and consistent moisture has kept my locs healthy and growing strong. In the next post, I’ll talk about the myths around locs and moisture—yes, locs can and should be moisturized regularly!
