Many people in the natural community have been wondering about Rosewater and its benefit on the skin and hair. Rosewater is not only aromatic, but healing, soothing and all natural. Rosewater has a plethora of benefits for the scalp, locs and body and you can actually brew it yourself!

A natural conditioner

Rosewater is great for those who are dealing with harsh water that is drying out their locs. The rosewater will add moisture to the locs while adding more luster and softness to the overall hair shaft. Vitamin A, C, D, E, and B3 are all present in rose water, which naturally nourish the hair and helps add that sheen.

Restores the Scalp

Since rosewater is all natural and gentle on the skin and scalp it can be applied directly to the scalp without causing any damage or irritation. The rose water can actually be used to relieve dry scalp and dandruff while boosting the hair at the roots. Since rosewater is antibacterial it will kill any fungus growing on the scalp and helps heal skin conditions.

Promotes Hair Growth

All you have to do is buy roses, wash the petals and boil in distilled water for a good 20 minutes. When the water has cooled, strain the rose water into a spray bottle. The flavonoids, tannins and antioxidants found in rose water will strengthen the hair cells, follicles and scalp, prevent hair loss and promote new hair growth! So, what are the side effects? Just rose scented hair, sure smells like summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes — locs can be started on virtually any hair texture. The technique that works best and the timeline you can expect will vary depending on your texture. Finer hair typically takes longer to lock and may require more patience in the early stages.

Sisterlocs is a form of interlocking — they use the same foundational technique. The difference is size and a proprietary pattern. Interlocking can be done in a range of sizes and is not limited to the Sisterlocs system.

Loc extensions should be placed as a permanent technique by a qualified loctician. When done correctly, the extension integrates naturally into the hair over time. When done incorrectly, the hair often can't sustain them and the client removes them early.

Yes — comb coils are one of the most common ways to start locs. As the hair grows and matures through the baby and teenage stages, the coil gradually locks into a permanent loc.

Interlocking and loc extensions are generally considered the most durable and fastest-to-progress techniques. If skipping the baby stage entirely is the goal, loc extensions with a qualified loctician may be the right option. However, understand that with all processes, you will go thru a process.
