Ultimate Loc Care Guide: 10 Tips to Stay LOC’D IN

Welcome to Young King's ultimate guide for nurturing and maintaining your locs! Whether you're a seasoned loc vet or just embarking on your journey, understanding the intricacies of loc care is essential for ensuring your crown to be as healthy, nourished and versatile as you are. So let’s get into these 10 essential tips that will provide you with the knowledge and expertise needed to keep your locs healthy, vibrant, and fit for a king. 👑

Tip 1: Stay Hydrated, Fam

Hydration is the cornerstone of healthy locs. Spritzing your locs daily with our LOC’D In Hydration Spray not only replenishes moisture but also revitalizes and rejuvenates each strand. Think of it as a cool drink for your hair, ensuring it remains moisturized, manageable, and resilient against dryness and breakage. Remember, don't just spray and go—massage the LOC’D IN Hydration Spray evenly throughout your locs to ensure every strand receives the nourishment it deserves. 

Tip 2: Nourish Your Scalp

Your scalp is the foundation of your crown, and nurturing it is critical for healthy loc growth. 

Massaging our LOC’D IN Scalp Oil into your scalp not only promotes circulation but also delivers essential nutrients to the hair follicles, stimulating growth and maintaining a healthy environment for loc formation. Your scalp will thank you, and your locs will flourish under your care.

Tip 3: Twist and Shout

Maintaining the integrity of your locs is vital for preserving their shape and structure – that’s why

retwist days are your time to shine, and our LOC’D IN Loc + Twist Gel is your secret weapon. It provides the perfect balance of hold and nourishment, ensuring your twists remain tight, defined, and full of shine. Begin by sectioning your locs and then apply a dime-sized amount of gel to each section, working it through from root to tip before twisting. Say “goodbye” to frizz and “what up” to a dope silhouette that commands attention wherever you go. 

Tip 4: Wrap it Up

Protect your locs while you sleep by wrapping them in a satin scarf or bonnet. This simple step prevents breakage and moisture loss, preserving its integrity and ensuring your locs stay fresh until morning. 

Tip 5: Cleanse with Care

Washing your locs is essential and it requires gentle yet thorough attention. Use our sulfate-free Young King Shampoo to cleanse without stripping away natural oils, followed by our hydrating Young King Conditioner to replenish moisture and maintain elasticity. By adhering to this regimen, your locs will remain clean, vibrant, and free from buildup and residue.

Tip 6: Section with Care, Craft with Precision

When applying products, section your locs into manageable parts to ensure even distribution. Whether it's the LOC’D IN Hydration Spray, Scalp Oil or Loc + Twist Gel, taking the time to section properly ensures every strand receives the love and attention it deserves.

Tip 7: Less is More

When it comes to product application, remember that a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount and gradually add more as needed. Overloading your locs with product can lead to buildup and weigh them down, so exercise restraint and let your locs breathe freely.

Tip 8: Embrace the Refresh

Our LOC’D IN Hydration Spray isn't just for daily use—it's also your secret weapon for a quick refresh. On days when your locs need a pick-me-up, simply spritz lightly and massage gently to revive their natural luster and bounce. It's like a mini spa day for your crown, ensuring it stays fresh and vibrant between washes.

Tip 9: Patience is Key

Remember, change doesn’t happen overnight – healthy and vibrant locs take time to develop. Be patient with your loc journey, celebrate each stage of growth and trust the process. With time and consistency, your locs WILL flourish.

Tip 10: Self-Love is King

Above all, cherish yourself and your locs with unwavering love and appreciation. Your hair is a manifestation of your identity and heritage, a testament to your journey and triumphs. Embrace its uniqueness, celebrate its beauty, and wear it with the pride and confidence befitting of a true king.


With these invaluable tips and the support of Young King Hair Care, you're equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to elevate your loc journey to unprecedented heights. You are now officially LOC’D IN. Crown yourself, kings!💪🏾
