"A top-tier choice for those seeking strong hold without the buildup."
Lion Locs offers a vegan, organic locking gel that doubles as a moisturizer. It is designed to hold locs in place without leaving any white residue or flakes. It is lightweight and penetrates the hair shaft to keep locs healthy.
👍 The Good
- Vegan & Organic
- No residue
- Lightweight
👎 The Bad
- Slightly pricier
- Softer hold than heavy waxes
Stylist Recommendation
“Great for retwists on mature locs where you want a clean look without the "crunchy" feel.”
