Why We Love Avocado Oil for Your Natural Hair

Why We Love Avocado Oil for Your Natural Hair

It should come as no surprise that avocado oil is one of the best natural ingredients for skin and hair. We love this ingredient for natural loose and loc’ed hair because it has too many added benefits to list. Let’s have a look at some of our favorite natural hair benefits. 


Natural Moisturizing Benefits

No surprises there. Avocado oil acts as a natural moisturizer without weighing down your locs or curls. The oleic acid will deeply penetrate the hair shaft and won’t just act as a sealant like all your other oils. It won’t clog the pores on your scalp and definitely will not cause buildup. Its properties will work its magic on all hair types including high/medium/low porosity hair types. The monounsaturated fats in avocado oil will also help repair the hair so that it’s stronger and softer all at once. 


Your Scalp Needs Avocado Oil

The same way your skin and taste buds love avocado oil, so does your scalp. If you frequently have dry scalp or dandruff, avocado can be your next best natural remedy. It will deeply hydrate your scalp, so that dry scalp becomes a thing of the past. We recommend mixing this oil with a few drops of tea tree oil to really restore that scalp once and for all. 


Promotes Hair Growth

Who isn’t looking for a little extra length? Avocado oil contains vitamin D, that beloved vitamin which helps promote the production of hair follicles. And guess what? It's not just one hair per hair follicle, but plenty of strands for each follicle. Sounds like something we can all benefit from! 


For the reasons stated above you’ll find avocado oil in some of our favorite Dr Locs’ products like our Jinan Leave-In Conditioner and our Yaya Oil. Treat your hair to the very best! You deserve it!

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.
