What’s the Difference Between the Island Breeze and the Jinan Moisture Mix?

When it comes to moisturizing your locs, both the Island Breeze and the Jinan Moisture Mix do an amazing job of keeping your hair soft and hydrated without creating build up. So, what's the difference between the two and how do you know which one is right for you?

The Island Breeze: Scented and Nourishing

The Island Breeze was formulated with a blend of natural oils like tea tree oil, but it also includes fragrances that give it a unique scent. This is something many of our clients have requested—a new scent that was different from the Jinan Moisture Mix. After working closely with a chemist who specializes in all-natural hair products, we learned that fragrances aren’t as harmful as some might think. In fact, essential oils can sometimes cause more allergic reactions than fragrances, so we felt confident in adding a gentle fragrance to the Island Breeze.

The feedback from our clients before the product even hit the shelves was overwhelmingly positive. Most didn’t experience any issues with the fragrance, and many loved the refreshing scent it provided. The Island Breeze uses the same base formula as the Jinan Moisture Mix, but the key difference is the fragrance, making it a perfect option for those who want a little extra scent in their routine.

The Jinan Moisture Mix: Fragrance-Free and Just as Effective

The Jinan Moisture Mix is our fragrance-free option, making it ideal for those who prefer to avoid any added scents in their hair care. While it doesn’t have the sweet aromas of the Island Breeze, the Jinan Moisture Mix is still packed with all the moisture and nourishing ingredients your locs need. It’s a great choice if you're sensitive to fragrances or just prefer a natural, essential oil option for your hair care routine.

Why Choose One Over the Other?

At the end of the day, the formulas for both the Island Breeze and Jinan Moisture Mix are the same—both work wonderfully to hydrate and maintain your locs. The only difference is that the Island Breeze has added fragrances for those who want a different scent than what’s offered by the Jinan Moisture Mix. Some people even reported that the Island Breeze felt more moisturizing, though we believe the formula is essentially identical.

In Conclusion

Both the Island Breeze and the Jinan Moisture Mix are fantastic for your locs, and there’s really no wrong choice. If you prefer a fragrance-free product, the Jinan Moisture Mix is for you. But if you're looking for something with a fresh new scent, the Island Breeze is a perfect option. Either way, your locs will stay hydrated, soft, and healthy all day long.

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.
