Olive oil for locs
Olive oil is one of the cheapest ways to seal moisture into locs. Applied to damp locs after washing, it helps slow down moisture loss so your locs stay softer for longer.
How to use it
- Wash and towel-dry your locs so they’re damp, not dripping.
- Rub a few drops between your palms and smooth over the length of your locs.
- Massage one or two drops into dry patches on your scalp.
- Let your locs dry fully before tying them up.

FAQs
Will olive oil make my locs smell?
Not if you use a little and let your locs dry fully. Too much oil plus damp hair is what causes odour.
