Hi gorgeous a tip for the shampoo. Dilute the shampoo with some water in an applicator bottle. That way you can get directly to your scalp. And it helps with making sure it is all rinsed out. Lovely locs. Have a great weekend. Be safe.

A quick suggestion - washing hair in the shower is a lot easier 😂😂! Also I section my hair into 3 or 4 parts before washing to really target those areas for thorough cleansing and to reduce matting at the roots and prevents nightmare detangling

I also to have dry scalp girl I know your struggle. I have had my locs for 6 months. To retain my moister I use Talijah Wajjid leave in conditioner using the spray bottle, followed by her oil and some moisture oil then lastly adding a small amount of As I Am butter and working from my scalp to the tip of my locs. I hope this helps. I do this about once a week. Sometimes twice during the winter months.

A good idea is to wash starter locks very rarely And keeping them out of the water like washing them maybe once a month or so so that they don’t get unraveled too often and then when they mature enough to stay on their own you just start washing them weekly

You may want to try the neutrogena shampoo instead of the acv rinse since your locs are still babies to help with some of the build up. It will dry your hair out so maybe dilute a little, I love you the thickness of your hair texture, your locs are coming along nicely ❤️

I'm almost 7 weeks with starter locs. I've only washed once so far and that was week 4 the day before my 1st re-twist. I used stocking cap the 1st time I washed afraid my locs might unravel. But watching this video makes me want to wash without a stocking cap to get a "fuller" wash. What do you think?

I have a bad time with locs marrying together. Do you have any tips or info?

@AlexisHarris 2 жыл бұрын

Great question! How long have you been loc’d? If it’s early on, I’d recommend intentionally and gently pulling apart each loc as soon as you wash them so they all remain separate 💖 if your locs have already matured, I’d recommend having a professional instantly loc your roots with an instant loc tool so that your roots can be neater and they will merge together less. You can also try to wash one section at a time. I hope this helps! Thanks for being here 💖💖💖
