Setting locs is a different job from setting loose hair. You need something that grips while the style dries and then lets go again on wash day, which is what a lotion does better than a wax. This one sets locs, two-strand twists, flat twists and braids with a hold that stays flexible enough to move.

It conditions while it sets, so the hair does not dry out underneath the hold, and it leaves shine rather than a matt film.

  • Sets new and mature locs without the stiffness of a wax
  • Rinses out on wash day instead of building up over months
  • Adds moisture during the set, so locs stay supple
  • Works for retwists, flat twists and braid sets alike

The 8 oz bottle is a sensible size for a retwist routine every few weeks. Use it on damp hair section by section, then dry the way you normally would.

Application tips

Damp hair, worked through the section before you twist rather than smoothed on afterwards. Setting lotion needs to be inside the twist, not painted over the outside of it.

Palm-roll each loc as you go and sit under a hooded dryer or leave it to air dry undisturbed. Touching a set while it dries is what turns a clean retwist into a fuzzy one.

Results

Twists and retwists hold their shape without going hard. There is give in the hair when you move, but the pattern stays where it was set for a good stretch of the wear period.

Locs come out with a soft shine rather than a waxy one, and the definition survives a night on a pillow. Come wash day it lifts out in the first shampoo, so nothing collects inside the loc over months of use.
