For African Am...Is hair locking gel permanent???

I have natural african american kinky hair. I bought locking gel hoping that it would allow my twists to stay in longer before they have to be redone (i also take the twists/braids out to get a curly hair style). Would it make the twists/curles permanent or physically and/or chemically alter my hair and turn it into dreads??? (the most I'd plan to keep them in is 1 week max...i like to wash my hair at least once a week.)

first of all, dreads do not chemically alter your hair. now, the answer to your question is no. the locking gel is just like any other gel. it will hold your hair how it is, but if you wash it out, your hair goes back to it's pre-gelled condition. the only thing different about locking gell is that it's flake-free and i think it's gentler and doesn't dry your hair as much.

I think it will lock in your twist to dreads.*WARNING* the gel will mae your hair tight and may cause your hair to breack off.

No, dreads take months to form so leaving twists in for a week with dread gel is perfectly fine, especially if your washing it out. Just be sure to keep your twists moisturized so its easier to wash out the gel when its time for you to shampoo.
