Top 5 Braid n Loc Gels

Finding the best Braid n Loc Gel is a quest you've all been on, today I’m going to look at the Top 5 Braid n Loc Gels on the market from a distributor’s prospective. (no particular order) 

First, let’s address what’s going on with LocN gel… Real vs Fake. I know you’ve seen the post via Tik Tok. Well, it’s true.There is fake LocN being sold in these beauty supply store! Be aware! How can you tell? 

-The real LocN label color is a darker maroon. The fake is lighter and if you look close, the writing is a little blurry. The fake also has a “Yaveneh” ( may be mispelled) logo on the back. 

- LocN is a black owned business! The ultimate disrespect is when someone takes what belongs to you. The fake LocN is usually priced $15-$17. Another dead give away! Don’t allow these beauty supply stores to trick you into destroying this family’s brand!!! Protect each other!!!! 


LocN is a strong and recognizable brand. However, their price has inflated recently which has left them open to some stiff competition. When I say stiff, I’m referring to a former insider of their company. Omar Townes aka Mr. Hands may be one of the coldest loctitians in the country and he is taking the nation by storm with his own brand called WOW. That’s right, LocN’s Lebron James has taken his talents to WOW

WOW is a brand that is definitely worth trying if you haven’t already. Priced at a reasonable $20 it’s sure to perform for the look you’re trying to obtain for your clients.  WOW (Bold Hold) is the favorite amongst Loc
Nairobi Braid n Shine is another top seller! Nairobi Professional is synonymous with consistency. As usual the knocked it put the park when they introduced Braid n Shine. They definitely grabbed plenty of market share. This is a solid go to for retwist. It is priced at $20.
Last but definitely not least is Straight Request Loc Master. Priced at $15, it still delivers quality results. No build up or flaking. It’s definitely demanding market share week by week. It’s definitely in demand as the word gets out. 


Congo Loc n Twist Conkoction is quality product for sure. It uses a high grade of raw materials which inflates the price is the only knock, Available in 4oz at $12 makes it hard for customers to choose it over the other options mentioned above
