A smoothie sits between a butter and a cream, thick enough to coat a twist properly but loose enough to spread without dragging. That texture is why this one works on locs as well as on loose coils.

The formula is moisture-heavy, aimed squarely at the dryness that makes locs and coils look dull and feel rough. Hair gets body and bounce back, shine returns, and it manages all of that without building up or leaving residue behind, which is the thing that matters most when you are putting product on hair that does not get washed as often as loose hair does. The scalp stays moisturised too.

Rub a generous amount between your palms and finger comb it through in sections, root to end, stretching as you go until the definition is where you want it. Leave it in rather than rinsing.

12oz. Made for coily and curly textures, roughly 2a through 4a.

Application tips

Built for twists and locs, so the method follows the style. Emulsify between the palms, then take one twist or one section at a time from root to end, smoothing rather than raking. On locs, run it down the length and give the scalp a pass at the same time. Nothing rinses out. Retwist or set while the product is still wet.

Results

Locs, coils and curls that had gone dry and dull come back with body and a shine that holds. The formula stays clear of the build-up problem that dogs heavy creams on locs, so there is no grey film in the twists after a fortnight. The scalp stays moisturised underneath. Definition holds and the style stretches out longer than it would dry.
