20 Best Gel To Retwist Locs (2022 Updated)

I initially bought this gel to smooth my roots before I braid my hair for knotless braids. It did not hold as well as I hoped, it quickly became frizzy and loose. It help for 5 minutes. I don’t know how it would hold for other styles as I didn’t experiment in that area.

It also has a strong perfume scent, it’s pleasant but overbearing.

I absolutely love this product for retwisting my LOCs. The hold is great & I also use it as an edge control. I love this product so much that Wynn it was on sale buy two get one free I jumped on it and stocked up.

So far this is a great product! It has great hold and great shine. I would definitely recommend. I just bought a second jar.

I have been using Lion Locs products for a month now and I never knew my dreadlocks could be so soft. My dreads are 4years old and I have thick Mexican hair and a dandruff problem. The co wash shampoo is magic.

Not only does it get out my dandruff it makes my dreads so soft! My scalp loves the growth oil, soaks right in. I now realize the products I was using before really dried out my hair and made my dandruff worse! I will be using Lion Locs for the rest of my dreadlocks journey.

Thank you so much for this products! Blessings!.

A little goes a long way! I use the locking moisturizer just on my roots when I retwist or style my locs. Also good for lightly laying down fly aways along the hairline between washings. I just use a dab of this and then tie down with a scarf for 5-10 minutes.

No build up, lint, or residue since I’ve used it the past year. Excellent!.

Lion loc has terrible customer service. I order $75 wroth of product I never received. When I contacted them to let them know, they said there was nothing they could do due to the fact their delivery company said it was delivered.

When asked for a refund they refused, asked if they can replace my order and send it to a different address they refused. This is truly poor customer service at it best. Their only suggestion was to repurchase more of their product at a discounted rate which basically mean give me more of your money to f*** you over.

I mean why would I feel comfortable ordering anything from this company knowing how bad I was treated the first time.

This stuff is AMAZING on locks. My man has very coarse hair and natrual hair! So it will most likely work on both loose and tight curls. We have been using Mango twist. With this one I only have to lock his hair every 2 weeks but with any other one it’s every week.

This stuff is BOSS. If you are having trouble with your locks definitely give this stuff a go! I got ours from Amazon for like 12 or under.

This is pretty much like a huge jar of edge control. It smells nice and will give you a sleek look, but I must stress that this is not a traditional gel. I would only use this to install braids and other protective styles for a sleek finish.

But this isn’t it for the wash n go/twist out/braid out natural. This does give shine and some extra moisture though!.

This was abosultely amazing. I recently learned to braid my own hair and this helped with gripping and making the sections neat. The entire castor oil line is really great for protective styling. You can even use this to do your edges.

4c girls this is a great deal.

Love it, used it for years! It works better on hair that is difficult to loc. I have soft wavy curls and this hold my hair perfectly. My sister has 4c hair and this does not hold her locs, I noticed for thicker tight curls this is not the product to use.

I honestly don’t like this product. I do my sisters hair every month and I choose “Jamaican mango and lime black wax” I only use this locking gel when I run out. She has really kinky hair and it doesn’t hold 1 bit.

#thumbs Down.

This is a great product to use when locing your hair. It makes your hair look great!

The best locking gel i used thus far! I just started my locs yesterday and it’s not greasy, doesn’t flake, not sticky but holds firm! Some people say this loc gel flakes but the trick with any locing gel is to use a spray bottle and have your hair damp/wet and then apply the gel.

I hope they don’t ever change the formula because i will use this for life! It has natural ingredients and not too many ingredients which is a win for me!.

This is part of my staple collection that I use to lock and twist my hair. The most important part of my product lineup is using products that have minimal buildup, filled with natural ingredients, affordability $5 easy access (Hello 🙌🏾 Walmart).

This product provides all of that and no dyes or artificial colors. Check it out.

I’ve been using this product now for a few months. I have type 4b hair so I my hair takes real good to it cause it’s kinda curly. Makes my twists look tight and stretchy and nice looking. Definitely recommend!.

I love Rasta Locks line of products. Although I use Murray’s Iver this I like to mix some of this in when retwisting my man or my sons hair. Thicker jelly like texture and love the mango / lime smell.

Better for starter locs , doesn’t work the best on thicker or happier textures. #Natural #NaturalHair #RastaLocks #Locs #Sproil #SprayOil #Jamaican #JamaicanMangoAndLime #ProtectiveStyles.

Just recently started dreads in one of my sons head and this product does wonders ! No yucky build up ! Great smell ! No sticky fingers when done doing the hair! Very reasonably priced about $6 a jar ! One jar last for about 5 retwist so I would say about $1 of product during each application on the head which is cheap as heck ! Definitely recommend over using bees wax !.

No matter what type of leave-in conditioner you have in your hair, THIS gel never beads up. I love it! The online price is absolutely too much though. Purchase in person at loads of different stores.

I have thick, not to coarse hair, and I am Black. I cannot speak for any other hair type but my own. This is not an edge control and will not work as such no matter how much you use. No stiffness, no flakes, no beads.

Love, love, love.

I really like this gel to be honest. It’s the first I’ve used that doesn’t give a lot of buildup, doesn’t flake, doesn’t leave your hair feeling like hardened bread (unlike most actually) and most importantly, Leaves your hair looking naturally and effortlessly styled!.

It’s nice. All you have to do is apply it, brush it down and then boom! You’re done. BUT it also does something else. It ITCHES! Terribly. Since i bought this gel (which is my first time of buying it) I’ve had so much discomfort that I’ve had to wash my hair twice this week (i don’t usually do this since my hair needs it’s natural oils) but each time i apply it, it just itches the hell outta my head till i wash it off! I love the look it gives, i love how Easy it is to apply it but I’m not going to exchange my comfort for some gel.

Nope. I just don’t think it’s worth it. For those who were wondering, yes, i always started with freshly washed hair. It just was the same everytime.

I have been scouring everywhere to find this product because I decided to go back to dread locks. I had used it in the past with great results. Thanks Sally’s beauty!!

It’s the best. I’ve had so many problems with stuff to hold my hair. But this Loc N os the truth. My ponytail been whipping for 3 day. And i haven’t had to brush it back up or fix my edges. #TeamNatural!.

This is the best edge control twist gel by far!!! My bun was smooth for like 3days, it’s so sticky and lays the hair down instantly. Loc N is definitely worth the price.

So far so good, my new growth has stayed together all during the day and at night , little bit of water on the new growth and gel helps and little bit goes a long way but it looks black but it is clear.

I have 3a/b curls. Been straightening for a few years and now back to staying curly. This product isn’t really a gel, it’s more of a cream and even looks like a cream coconut product. I’m not a fan of heaping product in my hair; after watching a few videos, it seems to be the way to go for defined, non-frizzy curls.

I can apply this generously to my hair and there isn’t a weighty or sticky feel once my hair has dried which is great! Its also packed with fruit, flower and nut oils so I’m not worried about applying this generously (or so I feel its generous but this is considering I only ever used to apply a light oil to my hair before) It doesn’t seem to form a strong cast that I’m expecting yet I have had decent results but I’m still playing around with this product and its most likely that after years of straightening, it’s my hair that’s in need of deep treatments to eradicate the frizz once and for all otherwise I do get nice, defined curls from this product.

I’ve also been able to use this on dry hair and been able to finger-coil hair but at this point, you will feel some residue once it’s dried, although it doesn’t show so perhaps regulate the amount used on dry hair.

Its a generous sized tub at a fair price. I personally don’t like the smell of shea or cocoa butters or coconut oil so was afraid of the after effects but had no need to worry. Plus it doesn’t leave a strong smell in your hair either once it’s dried, it’s subtle if anything.

I currently use it with the Cantu Hair Custard. I apply that first to soaking wet hair, then apply the Twist n Lock Gel. They both seem to do the trick. Curls stay for most of the day.

I have been using LocnGel for over 9 years it is INCREDIBLE best in the business shout out to danielle and cut creators 🔥🔥🔥

Package came super quick can’t wait to use the product bigger than what I thought it would be I love the fact sulfur 8 has mad a braiding gel well needed on the fact my daughter has very dry scalp

This stuff is amazing! It works well on all textures of hair and affordable 🙂 I wish they sell it in a bigger container.

Good price, works well with licks and twist. Leaves no flakes on bed or clothes

This was my first time using this product, I love it so much! It applies so easy without the mess like other twisting gels I’ve tried. The smell is also very refreshing. Pricing is very reasonable. This product definitely exceeded my expectations.

I saw a YouTuber use Jamaican Mango Lime and both our hair textures were very similar, so I gave it a try. I’ve found my new favorite twisting gel:).

Has great hold but unfortunately seems to contain an ingredient that irritates my husbands scalp. It also seems to leave a bit of a buildup, manageable but can be frustrating. The smell is great though!.

Love this product and love everything so far by African Pride. They never cease to impress. This product specifically is great for when I do twists/twists outs. The results always come out great. I would recommend to everybody!.

Worked very well for doing spring twists in my hair. It also works well for smoothing my edges and as an edge control. The only thing I found as an issue is that it ruined my nail polish I had on while using the product.
