Palm rolling condenses your hair to further form your loc and with this consistency in a span of about 2 to 3 months, many people notice that their locs are locd or the are beginning to loc. <br /> <br />Hair Care Tip #3 Mark your calendar for weekly hair care maintenance. <br />How often do you perform your hair regimen? Do you shampoo wash your hair weekly or bi-weekly? Do you "co-wash" (conditioner wash your hair) weekly or bi-weekly? Incorporate the same practices when taking care of your box braid extensions to prevent dry hair and dandruff problems. In some cases as well, if you constantly have a moist scalp because you work out, sweat often, or swim without thoroughly drying your hair, its possible that your hair will smell like mildew or mold. <br /> <br />Dilute all of your hair care products in applicator bottles for easy product distribution and effective rinsing of those products. <br /> <br />Applicator Bottle Used for Product Distribution http://goo.gl/XfWYsT <br /> <br />Great Natural Oils preferred for Sew In Installs <br />Argan Oil http://goo.gl/xKL7MA <br />Coconut Oil http://goo.gl/YMfqNN <br />Jojoba Oil http://goo.gl/Tw7m8v (closely mimics your natural oil production) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Thanks For Watching! <br /> <br />DISCLAIMER: All suggestions, tips, prizes, techniques and advice given are for informational purposes only and should be used at your discretion and best judgment.
