What is the best twist/loc gel to use for black hair?

Question by AmazinglyHooked: What is the best twist/loc gel to use for black hair?
I have already tried the jamaican mango & lime resistant formula locking gel, and my twist didn’t hold that long. Do anyone know any twist/ loc gel that last for a long time of period?

I have natural and have very kinky, curly hair as well. I am so familiar with this problem.Before I give you any advice about products and such I have to tell you that it takes a while for the hair to be trained and once your hair is trained then it really doesn’t matter what kind of products you use. In my opinion shampoo and conditioner is not such a big deal. I use Tresemme shampoo and conditioner,I always use a leave in conditioner, as well as a heat protector spray by Tresemme. Also, rinse with tepid water, actually as cool as you can take it, it makes the hair shine. After that I use the leave in conditioner and the heat protector spray. I try to let my hair air dry as much as possible to illuminate the amount of heat. So, then I blow dry! This is when the Super Skinny Serum comes in to play, then I use a light oil, like Hot Six. Its a liquid, this helps to lubricate the hair so that it doesn’t singe while flat ironing. Now, use a small amount of oil but for the first day it will seem a little heavy but not super heavy, you will still have major body. Always remember to wrap your hair at night with a soft/slick material so that it doesn’t pull or split. One last thing, a lot of people spend macho bucks on expensive flat irons but I kid you not, I paid 15 bucks for my flat iron and it is the best one I have ever owned. I wouldn’t make it without my flat iron. It is Andris and I purchased from Walmart Actually all of the products I use can be bought from Walmart.I hope this information is helpful. Don’t lose hope and remember once you train your hair it will be almost as if you have a different texture and then it will be more manageable..

    I use regular old hair gel, add some oil (Africa’s Best Ultimate Herbal or similar), and stir it well until it has a creamy consistency. You get the hold of the gel, but softness and conditioning from the oil.

    I have been using this method since I started my dreads 5+ years ago, and they are currently at my mid-back. Good luck!
