ORS Lock & Twist Gel 13 oz
The name tells you where it belongs. Locs and twists need a gel that holds a shape while it is drying and does not leave the hair dry once it has, and this 13oz tub is built for that part of the routine.
It is aimed at textured and curly hair, which typically needs more moisture and more protection than other hair types get away with. The gel conditions while it holds, so hair comes out of a set feeling soft rather than stripped, and shine improves as a result.
- Holds twists and locs while they dry
- Conditions the hair rather than drying it out
- Improves shine on textured hair
- 13oz tub
Thirteen ounces is a sensible size for a product used at every retwist, which for most people falls somewhere between fortnightly and monthly. It is a routine purchase rather than an occasional one.
Regular use is where it makes sense. Retwisting, palm rolling, two-strand twists and setting a style all draw on the same product, so one tub covers a lot of ground. Suits wavy through coily hair, and it is a reasonable default if you are still working out what your hair responds to.

Application tips
Twists and locs want the gel applied section by section on damp hair. Take a small amount, coat the section from root to tip, then twist or palm-roll it and move on.
Let each piece dry fully before you touch it, which is the difference between a neat set and a fuzzy one. A hooded dryer speeds it up. Do not layer it over a heavy cream.
Results
Twists hold their shape and stay tidy for longer, with a firm set that does not go chalky or flake as the day goes on.
Roots stay smooth where the gel has been rolled in, and new growth blends into the set rather than standing out. Taken down, the hair underneath feels soft rather than crisp, which matters when a set is worn for a fortnight.
