How the natural movement ruined it

With the natural movement came co-wash. For those of you who are unaware, co-wash is a moisturizing shampoo. It was made to not only cleanse the hair but to act as a moisturizer. It’s basically a two-in-one. This new wash method has made life very difficult for those who have dedicated their lives to the loc lifestyles. Though there are various forms of locs, they all suffer from a lack of shampoo. There are only a few known brands that people with locs use. One of which is the Jamaican lock and twist brand.
The problem with co-wash is that while the shampoo cleanses the locs, it also unravels them. The co-wash being a moisturizer, conditions the hair making the loc a softer texture. Growing out locs are not only a trend but also an expensive lifestyle. Re-twists aren’t cheap. The traditional re-twist is around fifty dollars. For the retightening of sisterlocks, the price would be about one hundred dollars.
Most people with locs have to use specialized loc shampoos. Due to QP and a number of other brands being discontinued, dread heads have begun using Jamaican Twist and Lock products because it’s easily found. So in conclusion, the “original naturals” have had a rough time finding products suitable for their lifestyle due to the new trend of co-wash.
