Twists, also known as two-strand twists, are a style that is super easy to achieve, all there being to do is to part out a section of hair, split it into two, and twist the two smaller sections around one another. You can get your twists done as thin or thick as you desire. It’s such an easy style that you don’t have to go to a salon to get it done; you can D.I.Y. your twists from the comfort of your home!

Dreadlocks, on the other hand, are ropes of well-maintained matted hair. They are also known as “Locs”. It takes a combination of time, patience, dedication, and financial investment to properly maintain your Locs so that they grow out healthily and beautifully. Unlike twists, you may not be able to D.I.Y. dreadlocks and you certainly can’t achieve them in a day. The loc journey, however, is often started by styling hair into two-strand twists.

Both Locs and twists are gorgeous protective hairstyles. One thing that both have in common is the requirement of the proper styling and maintenance products to keep both your natural hair and the hairstyle in great condition. The most common product used in creating both Locs and twists is a Loc & Twist Cream.

Loc Maintenance Tips.

1. Regularly wash your scalp and Locs. Don’t wash your Locs too frequently to avoid drying them out, but don’t leave them unwashed for too long to avoid build-up, dandruff, or fungus. Ask your loctician for the best wash timing for you.
2. Condition and oil your Locs. The Atlas Haircare by Porsha Organic Loc & Twist Cream is a great conditioning cream for your Locs. A hot oil treatment once a month will also work wonders for your Locs.
3. Avoid certain products, like products with perfume and the bad alcohols that will dry out your Locs.
4. Massage your scalp often. This will stimulate more blood flow to your scalp and roots for gorgeous, healthy Locs.
5. Drink lots of water and eat nutritious food. This will also contribute to keeping your Locs in great shape.
