Product build-up is something no one wants to deal with, especially when they’re running short on time to work, school, or special occasions. Hindsight is 20/20 when you realize what you could've done to prevent the lint and buildup you've collected over time in your hair. Now, it's time to get down to business for your wash day routine.
Don't have a set wash day routine? We might have a few tricks in our bag for you. Here at OOLI Beauty, we have a collection of items to assist your wash day routine with ease.
Here are are a few basic steps and products to get those locs refreshed:
- Detox Your Locs
Detoxing your locs with apple cider vinegar is a sure way to leave your locs feeling refreshed. Apple cider vinegar is not only perfect for deep cleaning your locs, but it’s also a great way to balance the pH level in your locs. You'll want to use equal parts warm water, baking soda and apple cider vinegar in a basin. Rest your locs in the basin for about 20-30 minutes then thoroughly rinse out the detox solution.
However, be careful…
Frequent detoxes with apple cider vinegar can easily dry out your locs. Make sure your follow up steps involves a deep moisturization technique.
- Use a Clarifying Shampoo
To prevent product build-up altogether, invest in a clarifying shampoo. OOLI Beauty’s CLARIFY YOUR MANE Clarifying Shampoo is the solution to any build up you may have allowed to thrive for far too long. This sulfate-free shampoo is packed with tea tree oil, an incredible oil that prevents product build-up and nourishes your scalp.

Everyone's moisturization technique varies depending on texture and hair type. OOLI Beauty has a few options—Loc'd In Leave in Moisturizer, Bless Up Your Locs Nourishing Hair Oil, and Magic 17 Hair & Scalp Oil.
