  4. Lint buildup cannot be removed by this. You can try removing the lint if it embedded deep by picking it out, coloring over it with a black sharpie (only if your locks are black), or dying your locks. Another thing to keep in mind in order to avoid lint build up, is to watch what you are wearing. If you wear clothing that has a lot of lint, you will introduce that to your locks. I suggest avoiding lint heavy clothing as much as you can. Also try wearing something that protects the locks, for an example: a hair net, bonnet or even a loc sock around the house. This aid in preventing lint being attach to your locks.

    The solution above helps with products builds up. Meaning if you been experimenting with different shampoos or conditions etc., the above solution will remove any "liquid" residue those product may have left behind. I usually wash my hair with a clarify shampoo once a month and then every 4 month do a BSW & ACV wash to remove residue that my clarify wash didn't catch.

  5. In regards to the Sharpie advise. By using a Sharpie with all that alcohol in it won't it dry your loc out and possibly damage the loc resulting in them falling out from dry rotting from the inside out?

    1. I don't know how a sharpie will introduce rotting when you are only applying it on the outside of your locks vs. internally. Now the downside of using sharpie is the alcohol contains and the possible of drying out your locks even more.

      The sharpie method is a temporary, and only if you don't want the locks that are lint ridden to show up (for example wearing it up). The sharpie method is by no way a permanent solution.

      FYI...Rotting of the locks start from internally and that is something that is rare with sisterlocks since sisterlocks are so thin to begin with. Rotting occurs when hair is left wet for a LONG period of time.
