5 Tips for Maintaining Healthy Locs

January 06, 20252 min read

Keeping your locs healthy, strong, and beautiful takes intentional care. From regular moisturizing with products like the Mist Hair Moisturizer by Locs by Shellz, to maintaining a clean scalp and incorporating oil treatments for strength and shine, there are many ways to ensure your locs thrive. Protect your locs at night with silk scarves or pillowcases, and don’t forget the importance of regular maintenance sessions with a trusted loctitian to keep them uniform and vibrant.

1. Moisturize Regularly

Locs thrive when properly hydrated. Invest in a high-quality hair mist, like the Mist Hair Moisturizer from Locs by Shellz. Regular misting helps maintain moisture, prevents dryness, and reduces breakage, keeping your locs soft and supple.


2. Keep Your Scalp Clean

A clean scalp is essential for healthy locs. Use a gentle cleanser or shampoo designed specifically for locs to remove buildup and keep your scalp fresh. Avoid over-washing, as it can strip your hair of its natural oils.


3. Oil for Strength and Shine

Incorporating a lightweight oil treatment into your routine nourishes your locs from the roots to the tips. Products like the Oil Hair Treatment by Locs by Shellz are excellent for adding shine, reducing frizz, and promoting growth.


4. Protect Your Locs at Night

Always cover your locs with a satin or silk scarf or sleep on a silk pillowcase. This reduces friction, prevents lint, and keeps your locs smooth and manageable.


5. Schedule Regular Maintenance

Routine visits to your loctitian are crucial for the longevity of your locs. Regular retwists, maintenance sessions, and consultations ensure your locs stay uniform and healthy.
