When it comes to caring for your locs, finding the right products can be a challenge if you don't know what to look for and what to avoid. You need formulas that are nourishing, lightweight, and effective without weighing down your hair or leaving behind heavy residue. We’ve rounded up three of our absolute favorite hair products that will keep your locs in their happy place. From moisture-packed leave-ins to nourishing oils, these top picks deliver exactly what your locs need for hydration, strength, and growth.
#1 Jinan Moisture Mix: The Ultimate Daily Moisturizer
When it comes to moisturizing locs, Dr Locs' Jinan Moisture Mix is a standout. What makes this product truly special is its light yet highly effective formula. Many hair moisturizers can be heavy or greasy, leaving a thick residue that doesn’t fully absorb into your locs.
The Jinan Moisture Mix is different—its ingredients were carefully selected by Chimere, the natural hair lady and founder/creator of Dr Locs, to nourish the hair without sitting on top of it. It allows your hair to soak up the moisture it craves, rather than feeling weighed down by unnecessary oils.
The blend is packed with essential nutrients, offering hydration and shine without the greasy aftermath. It's ideal for all hair types—whether you have loose curls, box braids, or locs. What’s more, this moisturizer can be used daily without overloading your scalp, and works wonders on your kids hair too.
The light, uplifting scent adds a soothing touch, making it an enjoyable part of your daily routine. With Jinan Moisture Mix, your hair feels nourished, hydrated, and balanced, leaving you with soft, well-moisturized locs.

#2 Amla Extract Conditioner: Deep Conditioning Power for Locs
One of the biggest challenges when caring for locs is finding a conditioner that truly absorbs into the hair without leaving behind residue. Dr Locs' Amla Extract Conditioner was meticulously crafted by a chemist and locticdian working together to be both effective and lightweight. Unlike typical cream-based conditioners that sit on the locs and never fully absorb, the Amla Conditioner penetrates deeply, providing your locs with the nourishment they need.
Amla, known for its antioxidant and strengthening properties, helps to repair damage, prevent breakage, and promote healthy growth. This conditioner is so effective that it can even be used for steam treatments or as part of a hot oil treatment when combined with Dr Locs Yaya Oil.
For a spa-like experience, simply apply the conditioner, cover your hair with a cap, and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. Rinse with cold water for best results, and feel the difference as your hair drinks in the moisture it needs. No residue, no buildup—just clean, nourished locs that are ready to thrive.

Our community has reported significant benefits in hair growth, especially after periods of stress or pregnancy, as well as improvements in scalp health.
