    • Learn about ingredients and your cuticle layers before shooting it down
People are skeptical of this product, without knowing the first thing about the ingredients or about hair. You have to understand exactly how the lay of your cuticles effect the locking process, and how ingredients in this product that are the same as the ingredients in some anti-parasitic and pesticides work before you can shoot it down. On a microscopic layer, there may or may not be little layers lifted up on a single individual hair that look a bit like shingles lifting up on a roof. Those are your cuticles. People with kinky African texture hair usually have cuticles that are slightly lifted. Lifted cuticles tend to cling to the cuticles of other neighboring hairs. With the lifted cuticle layer combined with the tight coils characteristic of this hair type, the hair tends to hug itself more efficiently, making African kinky textured hair lock up more quickly. Others may have cuticles that lay flat on a microscopic layer. People with straight hair textures such as those with Asian or European background that tend to have a gloss to their hair often have smooth unlifted cuticles. You'll know if you're this type if you have the kind of hair that just slips right back loose when you try to braid it or attempt styles with hold to it. This is the type that is difficult to dreadlock, and it is this hair type that this product is aimed at. This is where lock peppa comes in. The main ingredient is silica. Silica is nontoxic. It is a fine power which, on a microscopic scale, is very abrasive. It is used in some pesticides and antiparisitic applications because, on a microscopic level, it shreds up the insect's exoskeleton, and dries the insect out. It is a bit safer than most chemical/poisonous pesticide, because it doesn't work the same way. The main issue with silica is not breathing it in, because it might irritate the lungs. It is also noteworthy that it's abrasive action is widely used in toothpaste, which helps scrape the crap off your teeth. So it's definitely not the demon that people want to make it out to be. My best guess is that the main ingredient in Lock Peppa, silica, helps aid in locking by scratching up the cuticle layer of the hair on a microscopic level, which then helps the hairs to grip each other more, the same as if they did if you had naturally lifted cuticles. My main concern with silica is whether it washes out of the dreadlocks easily. I think it's not too much of a problem, provided you follow the manufacturers instructions about just putting a tiny dab on the finger and applying it to your locs this way. Being African American with a surprisingly recently discovered high amount of European DNA mixed in me (40%), I have hair that is very curly and EXTREMELY slippery. My hairs have a very high gloss to it, even when it's completely naked, and my cuticles lay very closed. Braids do not stay with me well. I started my locs with braids and found that I had to make them close to the size of my natural curl pattern, because it is the curl pattern that I had to rely on to help the process of locking along and the hairs hug each other, rather than the gripping at the cuticle layer typical of most afro-type hair. I used rubber bands or hair glue at the ends to keep my hair together while it locked. I have had locs for going on 4 years now. They once reached the small of my back, but I recently cut them to a chin length bob. I purchased this product because I wanted something to help the constantly unraveling that happened after I cut my hair. I want to keep it cut to this length, because besides the unraveling, I love my hair like this. Because silica is not water soluble, I feel uncomfortable putting it at the roots of my hair, but I am ok putting it at the ends, since eventually they will be clipped again anyway. I found that this stuff does add a grip to the hair, but it is not permanent as I had hoped. As soon as water rinses out the powder, it goes to being slippery once again. I was hoping for something a bit more permanent, but I do think it does fine for what I'm looking for. It might grip more and hold better if I loaded it up with this powder, but I don't want to have a white tint to my dark locs at the ends. I may switch back to hair glue again, but for now, I'll keep trying this. Since I am a woman not afraid to experiment, especially at the tip ends of my locs which will be eventually snipped off anyway, I did try a dab of toothpaste at the ends of my locs, since the ingredients with this and toothpaste is actually comparable. I found that the toothpaste also, even more efficiently, held the tips of my locs together, but cleanly washed out at shampoo time. So I think the makers of this product was definitely onto something with the use of the ingredients in this product. Definitely not snake oil! ... show more

    • You can see the difference
Review Image by Dyer Dyer
The difference is obvious. The half I palm rolled with the powder and the half I didn’t. Didn’t notice a smell and my bottle didn’t come spilled or damaged. Hair doesn’t feel any different and I won’t have to sit under a damn dryer forever

    • It works but...
It works but it leaves white powder look in your hair. Today I actually tightened by locks after 3 inches of new hair growth, completely forgot I had this stuff, used none of it for 3 hours on my whole head of locks and sitting here knowing I forgot, it doesn't even matter. It was slightly more time consuming, maybe 30 mins longer than it would be using this product, but it isn't a God-send; because it washed out. It also makes the hair very tight and difficult the manage when you are using a crotchet hook, which is from one of the ingredients which acts like a dry clay that kills all moisture. It doesn't feel like there is a lot in there, because there isn't, but it's also because the weight of the product itself, the powder is less dense than baby powder, it's very light, almost like snowflake density. Using the top like a pepper shaker I feel is wasteful, I recommend putting a knife under the lid and popping the top off, pouring into into a baggie and then pinching out what you need when you do locks. It's far less wasteful and more effective than the pepper shaker method. Al-in-all I returned it because I do not feel the price matches what it is, instead I copied the ingredients down and made my own batch, works just as good and it cost me as much as this shaker costs me, for 8oz of each ingredient, so I have about 5000% more volume for the same price. I have Caucasian locks, if you have issues where you put wax in your hair, used lotion at some point that's all gooey in there, issues with hairs staying in locks, I would suggest it, but get the gunk of our your hair first by finding a top rated clarifying shampoo. You cannot just keep adding to locks, you need to repair then add. Note: White powder will leave slight residue behind and may look like you have dandruff. ... show more

    • Good stuff, needs better bottle
Love lock peppa! Great product that works well to tame the frizz. Really good for turning loose hairs into dread balls and weaving them back into the core of the dread. Works well with a weaving hook. My biggest complaint is the packaging. The lid is ridiculously difficult to twist open. Additionally, the product is best used by dipping your fingertips into the powder- I don't like having to get an additional container to pour some in every time we use it. It'd be perfect if it came in a small round container with a wide opening (think cold cream or face lotion). But all in all good product." 4 stars ... show more

    • Loved it
LOVED this stuff! I used it to start my new dreads and add extensions. I was so frustrated at first because I couldn’t get my thin straight hair to lock easily. I used this and it was amazing how easy it was to get my locks going after. You need very little so I did my whole head and used not even half a bottle. I only needed it at my roots to get the initial lock going. I read other reviews and I can see how using to much would gum everything up. It’s meant to be lightly sprinkled I think. That’s what I did and it worked wonders! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ... show more

    • A little goes a long way... Don't over do it!
You'll be tempted to just use this stuff up, FAST, because it works SO well at getting traction with fine hair. But I'm telling you... a little goes a LONG way. I made the mistake of using too much and it created this AWFUL build up that was tough to get rid of. We had a dread head in the house, and since I was the one doing the maintenance on them, we kept them super clean. It helps bring that grit you need, especially when you're working with holes/baby dreads/regrowth, BUT it's easy to over do it. Learn from my mistake and find the balance. If you use it minimally, and not too often, it is a LIFESAVER for fine hair-ed dread heads. ... show more
