What's On Your Locs? A Trichologist's Decision Matrix for Mildew, Build-up and Lint

£0.00

Who this is for

This is for anyone with locs who can tell something is off but can't quite name it. Maybe there's a smell you can't place. Maybe your locs feel coated no matter how often you wash. Maybe you keep spotting little bits of fluff and you don't know whether to worry.

If you've ever stood at the mirror asking "is this build-up or is this mildew," or "why do my locs still smell after I dried them," this is the page you reach for first.

What's inside

A one-page decision matrix, written by a certified trichologist with loc'd hair.

You answer three simple questions about what you can smell, feel, and see. Each one separates a real problem from a normal loc and points you straight to the first practical steps. The matrix covers the things people most often confuse with each other: mildew, build-up, and surface lint. If the answer to all three questions is no, it tells you that too. Sometimes the most useful thing to know is that your locs are fine and you can leave them alone.

This is a quick diagnostic tool, not a full care guide. It helps you work out what's on your locs in the moment. If you want to understand the biology underneath and build a complete routine around it, that's what the Loc Blueprint is for.

What problem it solves

When something feels wrong with your locs, the internet sends you in ten directions at once. One source says clarify, another says it's mildew, another says it's just dryness. Most of it is guesswork, and acting on the wrong cause can make the real problem worse.

This guide cuts through that. It gives you a clear, ordered way to tell common loc problems apart, so you respond to what is actually happening instead of treating a symptom that was never the issue.

You stop guessing. You start with the right step.
