Whew chile...I did my first ever loc detox, and I was SHOCKED by what came out! This loc bath recipe is the truth and super simple: 2 tblsp - Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo 1/3 cup - Baking Soda 1/3 cup - Apple Cider Vinegar HOT water
At least you removed the majority of dirt and product out after 7 locs baths. There are noticeable differences between pre and post loc baths. Thank you for the loc update. Those locs are looking beautiful.
She compared a cup of the solution to what it looked like after she used it and bath #7 was the closest to the original but it was still dark compared to it. It probably looked a lot worse in person too.
I want to say Nicole Yvette Brown (not sure if I am spelling her name right, but I love her!) I want to say the majority of this isn’t actually dirt, but product that just isn’t washed off. Her hair is pretty healthy looking, and beautiful!
That was really good to see a REAL person do an ACV deep wash!!! I've been taking care of my mom's hair for over 10yrs & I've JUST started hearing about this recently!!! 💜THANK💜YOU!!!💜
lhamilt I've shaved mine several times. Just remember, it grows back! Also, i notice several comments about your voice. Checkout voiceover opportunities for extra income. Be Blessed in Jesus!
They make inflatable sinks that are normally used for bedridden patients, but I think it would be great to be able to lay down while the locs soak. I don't think you could or should use the boiling water in it though.
I loooove your voice and how calm you sound! Also, that little “cleansing song” was so cute and nice to listen 👂🏻 Also, it was a great tutorial. Enjoyed it a lot even though I don’t have locs 😅
It would probably be more effective if you did a really good rinse before the second bath. Idk. It seems like it could help pull a lot of dirt out before the second bath.
Whats with all the warnings? Do people think theyre not going to see the water afterwards 🤣🤣🤣 every single cleanse video is going to show you the used water people!! Great video!
Rinsing your hair in between each bath would have helped with the water staying so dark each round..if you would have rinsed you would have probably only done 3 or 4 soaks but either way you got it clean!
I'm here for this loc bath!!!👏🏽 I'm going to definitely try this at home, and add a few drops of essential oil for fragrance to the last bath. I'm just prophesying that I don't have the patience for 7 loc baths though😂
Heyyy Lydia! Good to see that you're well. 😊 That ACV soak is the truth! A tip for your future loc baths: keep a coffee/tea mug close by, so that when the solution is cool enough, you can pour over the parts of your hair that the mixture cannot reach, namely the crown of your head. I also try to pour it directly on my scalp to dislodge any stuff there. Big up to Whitney's new Melanin hair care line! Now you got me interested in trying it out.
When I first did mines I sat my locs in the water for like 25 to 30 minutes and then I did it once again, I do it at least every 3 to 4 months and trust me the water gets better looking 😂 if u do it every 6 months to a year of course the hair will definitely be dirty like that every time even if u wash ur hair every 2 weeks to a month.
The best part of the video is the end result. I don’t know why anyone would complain. But some people are too dramatic. 😂 New subscriber! Great video ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
if you do the baking soda first and then do the acv after it will help prevent you from getting that over stripped dry feeling in your hair. they counteract eachother to a degree as one is a base and one is an acid. they dont fully neutralize when mixed but they are definitely better used separately. nice video though!
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 It WORKED!!!!!!!! My son has had locs for THIRTEEN years and I maintain them myself. Thank you so, SO MUCH!!! P.S. Your voice cleansed my soul🤤🤗
Thank you for showing what you put in your locs after the baths! I am going to do this to my sons hair this week and was worried about them drying out. Great video.
Omg do you realize how much money you could make doing audio books, speaking on commercials, infomercials, self help tapes. Your voice is AMAZINGLY SOOTHING 😍 and comforting (if that makes sense)... Ps for the sake of your back and neck go on amazon and get the inflatable basin for the tub or you can lay in the living room, watch some tv and soak. I got one for my daughter ACV washes its so helpful. And Maybe increase the amount of the ingredients it will pull more out in one bath. I usually only do 2 for my daughter and it works 🤷🏾.
Voice is extra soothing lol and it doesn’t hurt that’s she’s funny af 😂🥰😂 attempted to watch another before I got to this one but the chick clearly had no idea what to do or how to convey it and her voice was hard to bare🤐. Absolutely using this one for my cleanse attempt ❤️❤️
I grew up with well water and once a month I'd add baking soda to my shampoo and it helped remove build up. Wish I knew about this even though I don't have locks. I'm sure it is super cleansing on the scalp!
Tons of other have already said this, but you have a very lovely voice! I could hear you on NPR talking about Norwegian weight lifters or something haha
Ihamilt, great video, I did this once myself and it does work, didn't do it as intensive as you though. I recently tried a bentonite clay cleanse and OMG, my locs are sooo much lighter/cleaner/softer. Just light and fluffy, lol, it did pull up lots of build up/lint to the surface though. Very noticeable, so that's something to be aware of. Best treatment I've done. I would say this should be done on mature locs because it does go really deep. It pulled apart some of the locs that was combined for years. Not totally but you could see it was combined. I made mine with coconut vinegar and ACV, warmed it up and made the mixture. I made mine way more watery when compared to most YT videos I've seen. Worked incredibly well though. I had to rinse, rinse, rinse and repeat, lol to get the water clear though. The clay wasn't hard to wash out, it's just that it's pulls up EVERYTHING, so lots of rinsing before you get clear water lol. I love how light a free my locs are. Whatever method is used, a locs detox/cleanse/bathe is a must on mature locs. I would say once or twice a year for sure.
Depending on your scalp type, witch hazel does a great job cleansing the scalp. If you have very dry scalp though, it might over dry since it is a natural astringent. Plus, it is very hard to find it w/o added alcohol.
well your hair looks like smoother then the beginning but like I could never.. that water looked hot AF lol I love hot showers and all but dam! I'm just roaming around RU-vid your vid came up looked interesting.. did not disappoint lol your voice is super relaxing tho gonna subscribe
Wow! Those are thick and pretty! And I’m jumping on the band wagon and agreeing with a lot of the comments you really do have a very lovely voice and well spoken also. Very pleasant to listen to.
I hope this won't sound rude or disrespectful... But after seeing all that dirty water after 7 baths.. Before all that.. Before the cleaning.. How did that hair smell? Just wondering.
Not disrespectful at all! My hair generally smelled/smells like faint hair product (scented oil, shampoo, etc). I think that the reason it doesn’t smell like straight up funk is because I do not use a lot of product on my hair. If I had a bunch of gunk in it, I think it would trap smells more.
