- Hey everyone, it's me Hallease back with a hair update.
So in previous videos, I talked to y'all
about how I'm always trying to manage buildup on my locks.
And how difficult that can be now that
I am training and running pretty constantly.
At the height of my half marathon training,
I was running five times a week.
I'd come in from a run,
but I wouldn't necessarily want to wash my hair again
because I had just washed it a day, maybe two days ago,
and I just really wanted to make sure
I wasn't over-washing and potentially drying my hair out.
And so I started perusing the internet a little bit
to try to find a product that I felt could
be kind of the in-between, you know,
when I definitely need to put something
on my scalp to clarify.
And I was stumbled upon a CurlyNuGrowth's video
talking about Dr. Locs and their Pre-Cleanse
and she showed how she used the product
on one of her client's locks to break down some buildup.
And she showed like the before and after
of just having the product sit on their locks.
And I thought to myself, that's awesome.
So I reached out to them and asked them
if I could try it out for myself.
And that's what I've been using
for the past two months, pretty much,
to wash my hair in between washes.
So I'll come in from a run
and my hair is sopped in sweat.
Honestly, because I live in south Texas, it's very hot here,
so my hair is sopped in sweat
and then also I usually run outside in the local parks.
So there's a lot of just pollen and things in the air.
All of that's kind of in my hair a little bit
and if I scratch, you can actually kind of see
some of that buildup and like white sort of residue
that is left on my hair and on my scalp
after doing an intense workout.
So what I use now is Dr. Locs.
I spray this product on
and I concentrate it on my scalp
and I really massage it in.
(spirited music)
And I do it for about five minutes or so
and then I get in the shower and just rinse it out.
And my hair feels so soft, first of all,
(laughs) which is really great.
My hair feels really soft after I use it.
My scalp feels great, like it can breathe again.
And it's not drying or stripping to my hair,
which I really appreciated.
And it's also, their entire line of products
is all about minimizing buildup, which I am,
as y'all know, 100% for because for me
the big thing is I can't use a lot of things
that are too heavy or too dense
because my locks are so dense themselves.
Checking out this product and seeing how
residue-free it is, one,
and then also how easily
it removes the buildup from my locks after a run.
It's just so great.
And the thing that's really cool about the product too
is that everything in the ingredients list
I can like, I know what's in here.
The ingredients are witch hazel, rose water,
sea salt, apple cider vinegar,
jojoba oil, tea tree oil,
eucalyptus oil, and preservatives, natural preservatives.
So, it's a really cool product.
And I just really wanted to get on
and talk to y'all and tell y'all about it
because it has really, really, really,
really enhanced my regimen over the past two months.
Now you can go off and try the buy the ingredients yourself
and recreate the product yourself,
but at the end of the day,
that's going to cost you time,
and it's gonna cost you money, honestly.
Once you figure it out, yeah, there's a cost savings to it,
but until then you're filling in batches
doing what you got to do to make it work
and to me, I don't have the time to do that.
So whenever I find a product
that is more or less very natural
and I can pronounce everything
that I see on the ingredients list,
I'm there and I'm all for it.
So yeah, I just wanted to get on
and talk to y'all about Dr. Locs
and using their Pre-Cleanse as my go between.
If you're someone that's really active,
you work out regularly and you have locks,
I would highly recommend using this product
in between washes.
You know, bring it with you to the gym,
put it in your gym bag.
When you're finished working out,
spritz a little bit in your hair
and massage it in for a couple minutes,
then go do a good rinse in the gym shower or whatever,
and now your locks are nice and refreshed
and you're not worrying about the potential buildup
or mildew or any of those other issues that can come up
when you're sweating and being very active regularly.
So, I hope this helps
for any of y'all that are locked out there
and you know, being fit.
And I'll see you when I see you.
