I started my loc journey with some hair length, but my Loctician told me it was dry and brittle. A week after starting my locs, I misted my hair once every other day for the following 4 weeks. The next time I saw my loctician, she complimented me on how soft my hair felt and she didn't find any build-up. I love the way the ruby red grapefruit smells in my hair early in the morning when I'm on my way to work.
