TIPS:
It will make washing your hair in the beginning stages a more delicate process for sure, so be prepared for extra backcombing. If you choose to start them this way, just remember using the Locs N Locks Gel on dry hair will leave your backcombed locks a little tacky, and it will flake when it dries. You can avoid this by spraying a little water into your locks and applying gel onto damp hair. Not too much water, you don't want to disturb your backcombing.
Too much gel, using gel on dry hair and exposing gel to too much heat (ie: from a hair dryer) can cause flakiness. This doesn't mean you shouldn't use a blow-dryer at all, just keep it on a low setting.
In the beginning, your twists may unravel at the ends, so it is important to always maintain the locks from root to ends. After shampooing with shampoo and protein conditioner, towel dry. For starting locks, apply to damp section hair. Place the comb in the section and use fingertips or palm rolling technique to twist new growth clockwise to form a coil. Use a clip to hold the section in place. Locs N Locks Gel also stops frizz.
