A SOLUTION TO DULL LOCS... COVER AT NIGHT!


What you do with your locs before you go to sleep at night is important...
 
Try the following tips to make sure that your loc health is at its best.
 
Never go to bed with wet locs.
 
Cover Your Locs At Night...
 
It never used to bother me at the beginning, but now that my locs have become much longer, it gets in the way. To be honest, the wrap never stays on the whole night. It is important to keep your locs with cover...
 
This stops bits and peices from your pillow attaching itself into your locs.
 
Cotton material from our pillow cases absorb all the moisture in our locs, causing our locs to feel dull and dry.
 
And if you have long locs, it might be that at night, you will cause some damage over a long period of time while moving in your sleep. Your locs are fragile.
 
 
The Solution?
 
Firstly try a silk or satin material to cover your locs at night and see if that works.
 
If that fails to stay on, try this LOC SOC . This product has had some very good reviews from people at all stages of the loc journey. It is said to keep your locs staying fresh, keep its moisture and keep it safe from damage or harm.
 
If that doesn't work, then why not buy a satin pillow case and tie your locs up (if they are long). This option means that you will still be able to keep your locs moisturised and healthy.


Bed Time Ritual....


Apart from keeping your locs secure at night and protected from moisture stealing pillow cases ... Think about what else you could do to keep them in good condition...
 
Personally, I love doing a final spritz at night with just water/essential oil mix. Then I brush them.
 
I know many locers who like to deep condition at night with a shower cap on .... works great for them, a little too messy for me lol!
 
Pamper your locs before you go to sleep --in any way you like. Get them ready for the next day and add in all the moisture you can. Spritzing always works! 
 
Maybe this is a good time to ask your partner for a scalp massage -Just a cheeky thought  ;-)
