Jamaican Mango & Lime Locking Gel 16 oz
The argument for a gel over a wax on locs comes down to wash day. Wax builds up, dulls the locs and takes a clarifying routine to shift. This one is water based, dries clear and dissolves out when you wash it.
The hold itself is firm. A polymer system keeps the loose hair at the root tightly in place and stops fresh locs unravelling between retwists, while conditioning agents in the base stop the hair drying out underneath. It looks like nothing on the hair once dry, so locs read as clean rather than coated.
The 16 oz jar is the professional size, worth having if you retwist often or work on clients. It suits new locs being started and established ones being maintained, across looser and tighter textures. Apply at the root on damp hair, palm roll or comb coil the section, then let it dry before you sleep on it.

Application tips
Wet hair holds a retwist better than damp. Apply at the root of each loc, then palm-roll from the scalp down for a few turns until the new growth binds.
Sit under a dryer if you can, since gel that air-dries slowly on a thick head can take most of a day. Do not add a second coat over a first; it goes tacky and takes twice as long to set.
Results
New growth stays tight. A retwist holds its shape for weeks rather than loosening at the root after a fortnight, and there is no unravelling at the ends of newer locs.
The finish is clean rather than heavy. Locs stay light, they keep their own colour instead of going grey and dull, and the whole lot washes out in one shampoo, so nothing accumulates inside the loc across a year of retwists.
