Professional loctician-approved products, tools, and accessories that support healthy loc maintenance without heavy buildup. From retwists and interlocking to detoxing and styling, these are products I trust and recommend to my clients.
I like using this on my clients because it gives hold while still allowing the locs to move naturally. Perfect for fresh retwists and maintenance.
LOC N EDGE GEL EXTRA HOLD 16 Oz

I often recommend this gel for starter locs because it provides enough hold to help the locs stay neat while they’re forming. It moisturizes the hair, helps control frizz, and doesn’t leave the hair feeling overly hard. Great for clients who are just...
Cantu Shea Butter Twist & Lock Gel 13oz
I’ve used this mousse for years to finish my loc styles. It provides great hold without excessive flaking and helps keep retwists looking fresh longer. After applying oils, I work this foam through the hair and dry completely until no foam is visible...
Nairobi Wrapp-It Shine Foaming Lotion 8oz
A loc detox is an important part of maintaining healthy locs. I recommend detoxing at least once a year to remove buildup that regular shampooing may not fully remove. If you’re an athlete, work out regularly, or spend a lot of time in the gym, I rec...

This little tool makes a big difference during retwists. I place my gel on the magnetic surface so it’s always within reach, helping me work faster with less mess on my hands and workstation.
Hilltian 3PCS Magnetic Wristband for Stylists
A must-have for every retwist. These clips grip the loc securely and keep it in place while the roots dry, allowing the gel to properly mold the new growth. I especially recommend them for clients who only want a retwist and no style.
30 Pcs Alligator Hair Clips for Thick Hair
A must-have for loc styles. Buying in bulk keeps you stocked and ready for any style that requires bands. Great for securing twists, petals, barrels, and other creative loc styles.

I’ve tried several crochet tools over the years, and this is one of my favorites. The double-ended hooks help me work faster, and I find them much sharper than other brands, which makes instant locs, repairs, and maintenance much easier.
2 Pcs Double Ended Dreadlock Crochet Hooks (0.5mm+0.75mm)
I’ve been using this hair for loc extensions and loc repairs since 2018, and it’s still my top choice. The quality is unmatched, it’s 100% human hair, and it blends naturally with existing locs. Whether I’m creating extensions or repairing damaged lo...
