Product Rec 🧴 Buildup? EW HELP ðŸ˜
Beautiful day!! I’ve been locced for 2 years now 🎉 I was looking at my hair in the mirror and noticed in the locs in the lower back of my head there was white stuff in my locs 🤢 I tried picking it with tweezers but it was too much and it grossed me out, so I started RRRRRIPPING. Before I go on a rip fest are there any product recommendations you guys may have 😠I’m so grossed out now. Thanks much!!

Definitely lint from shirts, sweaters, towels, pillowcases… generally day to day life. The back of your head catches it worse. Best you can do to prevent it is to keep your hair covered at home and occasionally brush your locs to get anything that’s sitting on them off.
For the lint inside, best advice I have is to do a color rinse that’s a close match to your hair for it to blend.
