I enjoy my locks being tightened with this product and not having my hair hardened and no messy build up.

I purchase the Black Earth Lock It Up Gel- Tight Hold as the title states for my Locks. A few people have asked what shop do you go to for your locks and what do they use? My wife does my locks and I use Lock It Up Gel. Here is the kicker My wife locks are done at a shop, our daughter always say mine look better that her. What you need to understand is with LOVE & Lock It Up Gel. That's all it takes LOVE & Lock It Up Gel.

When I started using this product my dreads locked more quickly. Holds great, hair does not feel dry or flaky. Also has a great shine. Works well whether you air dry or blow dry. Pleasant smell.

a great product with strong hold. i'm finally able to tame my unruly locks! makes self-maintenance super easy :)

Didnt work for me like i thought. I expected more of a pomade thicker product than what it was. It didnt hold my edges at all.

Helps with twisting locks and holding down stray hairs. Love the coconut smell.

My hair when I was using the product before I discovered Black Earth Tight Hold Gel, would be frizzy and not holding on the ends.very soon after I used my other products.

These appears to be doing a good job. Need to give it a few more weeks to make final decision. It seems I have to use a bit more than my other product I was happy with so with that said cost may be similar. Gel has a weird feel, sort of gritty from the bottle compared to normal gel but goes on easy and seems to do a good job of holding the curl and keeping the frizz away.

I really love this product. It goes on easily and holds very well. Because it has a damp texture, without being greasy, it alliviates the need to spray repeatedly while twisting before getting under the dryer. In fact, I've tried it without using the dryer and it works just as well. My twisted locs have a strong hold and don't feel hard or crusty as with most gel hold products. I have been able to moisturize, oil, condition, etc and use this product on top of everything else, and still get a good hold. I just tie it down with my new G-Wrap Nylon Head Scarf, and go to sleep, do housework, or gardening--a few hours later and its done!

This stuff is great! I just started to try locking my hair and this was really good for hold!

I like the hold and I LOVE how it doesn't flake. I used all these other gels that claim there is no flaking but that was never true. The container is little but I don't use gel on my hair that often so this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I have searched and searched for gel to keep my new locks looking fresh and healthy. Finally found something as good as the mystery concoction my stylist uses. This stuff holds tight and doesn't flake! keeps my hair healthy and smelling good too.

Very good product, my husband has gray hair which is very stubborn to start locs. I would recommend Lock It Up gel to others.

I purchased this by accident the first time I received it. I thought I was ordering the regular loc it up gel, not the Tight Hold. Well I thought I'd just try it anyway. Didn't have the same feel to it, but still gave it a chance. The next day and throughout the week, this holds much better than the regular lock it up gel. This is the only gel Ii will use on my locs. Also, it doesn't leave a film or flacks or anything like that.

I have very loose hair at the top of my head. I am presently locing so the tight hold gel come in very handy, it's not sticky or leaves my hair dry and it hold very well. The ingredients are good too. No build up.....

This gel works well holding my two-strand twists, especially when used while my hair is still wet immediately following shampooing. However, I don't like how tight or stringy looking my twists can look the first day or so. So I've learned it's better to do them with more hair, as thick twists. But that's easily fixed.

I Just finished my first jar - would give 5 stars but I just wish the jar was larger.

Very good product. I love the texture of the gel and it also holds my baby locks together. The fragrance is not too much, it is just the right amount of fragrance which is a very fresh aroma. This gel does not leave any dry residue on my locks, as a matter of fact it make my locks feel very soft. I love this product and my Loctician loves it too.

works great does not flake holds just right not too hard not too soft. I used it to keep my sisterlocs from unraveling and it did just what i wanted it to do.

I like the texture of this gel. It is light, non-flakey and adds body to my hair. It's a good product, and I'll rate it a 4.

Love this gel, it is not too greasy and holds my hair nicely.

Ive been using this gel for three months and i love it. i went natural i february 2010 and just wanted something to curl up my kinky. this products works great.

I AM NEW TO LOCKS AND THIS PRODUCT MADE THINGS COME TOGETHER FOR ME. I WAS CONCERNED IT WOULD BE FLAKEY, BUT NO IT WORKED BEAUTIFULLY FOR MY VERY FINE HAIR. THANKS!!!!

I have been using this product a little over a week. I really like the way it makes my hair hair feel soft, but I would expect this to be the job of my hair moisterizer. The gel was a very soft texture, and didn't hold as well as I thought it should for my natural style. I had to mix it with another gel to enhance holding. I do like the way it smoothes hair edges and makes the hair really soft. So an A+ for moisture, but the feel and texture of the gel is not as strong as I thought it would be. I'm not sure if I would order the product again for the purpose of a gel, but possibly for a moisterizer. My hair is not extremely corse, so I did expect better results, due to the previous reviews, which is why I made my purchase. I would only recommend this as a hair moisterizer, but for the purpose of a gel...no.

Best locking gel I've ever used! Enough said...

This is the product I've been looking for. I finally found something that doesn't dry or make my hair flake.

It does the job great

Outstanding gel. I love this product combination. It works so well with natural hair. I'm so glad that I found it !!

THIS IS A WONDERFUL PRODUCT . I LOVE IT....

It's a beautiful gel. It yields beautiful braid outs...It's not sticky and it doesn't flake. I'm impressed!!

This is a great product. My hair needs moisture and this product provides it without a greasy buildup. Everyone who feels my hair says "Your hair is so soft!" My hair is 4B so this is a great testimony. I won't be without this product.

Ordered for a friend. He said he finally found what he needed.

This product is AWESOME! I have went through five different products to define curls before trying Lock It Up Gel. Nothing compares to this product. It defines my curls without being greasy.

This products does what the description says. It holds locks without drying out the hair. I like for my roots two be twisted and not puff when I do a two strand twist. Just hold down with a hair pins overnight and I have pretty twists from root to end.

I love the Black Earth Lock it up Gel! I wear my hair in twists, and it really locks in the curl at the end of each twist. It's light and the fragrance is not over powering like many hair care products. I just reordered two jars.!

This is the best product ever! It makes my kinky curly hair shiny and super manageable. It is the best product I have found for styilin my hair. This product is a must in my hair care supply.

The Black Earth Lock It Up Gel is a wonderful gel for my locks. It doesn't leave my hair sticky or flaky. It leaves it soft and manageable. I love this product, it's by far the best gel I have ever used, and I have tried many before this gel was recommended. I have shared this item with many of my friends, and they love it as well.

I love this product. For years I was using African Pride, twist n lock gel...there is no comparison. This Black Earth lock it up gel makes my hair feel light & soft.

My hair is not locked, but I use this gel for twists and twistouts , This product gives my hair a curl pattern which is great considering my hair hardly has one. It is one of my favs at Treasured locks.

My sister and I coil our own natural hair and this gel is just great. Before we used the Let's Jam! hair gel, which worked, but it is not half as good as the Lock It Up gel. It has a wonderful smell--not at all strong or unpleasant, just fuity and light. It is moisturizing, too; it has an emollient feel to it--very nice! It does bring out the natural curl in your hair. The previous gel we used did not, probably because of all of the chemicals (the ingredients list was a mile long). Also it used to "soap" up and get bubbly when it was rub into hair that was wet (the hair is sprayed with water to do the coiled style). LIU gel didn't do that. This Lock It Up gel is SO good. We just love it! Give it a try!

I have been using this since my hair has grown out long enough to twist. This has to be the most wonderful gel I have found since going natural. My hair is dyed which can dry your hair and this gel doesn't dry out my hair and gives my brown/blonde hair a really wonderful sheen. I love this gel and always make sure I have at least 2 extra in my closet at all times so I don't run out of it.

I have been natural for a year now and I normally wear two-strand twist or twist out. My hair isn't locked nor do I plan to lock it, but the Lock It Up Gel does wonders for twists. I use a little on each strand before I twist it and my twists come out defined and shiny. When I use other gels, my twists do not look nearly as good! This is great.

I've been using this product for a while now. It provides a great hold without any build up. The 6oz. container is a great buy because a little of this product goes a long way. * * Great site with good service so far.

This is a truly great product for natural hair. It's the best that I've seen in 20 plus years. Please keep up the good work. Thanks!
