One of Benjamin's favourite products for locs maintenance is the African Formulas Super Grow Hair Gel, as it uses natural ingredients to strengthen the hair and promote healthy growth.
A few other popular products include the Jamaican Mango and Lime Resistant Formula Locking Hair Gel (£7), which provides a strong hold without the added product buildup; and Murray's Gel Loc-Lock (£7).
Loc maintenance also includes making sure your hair is properly hydrated, moisturised, and styled. Achieving optimal loc maintenance varies person to person, but basic hair-care rules still apply. Make sure that you are hydrated and drinking water, give your hair clarifying treatments, and alongside using water-based products and oils when doing your hair at home, make sure to incorporate professional hydrating treatments when visiting a salon.
