So…does water ruin starter locs? (read comments)  

💯Everything made up of life needs water to have the gift of life breathed into it.

The thing is your hair isn't alive.

It helped mines loc faster

Think 😂 your funny bro

@@REALGODSPEED I understand your point. It’s just growing is my point, water is one of the healthiest things for it. Leaves and fruit aren’t really alive either, but they still need water to grow. Thanks though.

How??? Whenever I got starter locs and if water touched them they became poofy and so ugly how y’all doin it

@@HimJones1292 it depends on your hair type. You probably have monkey hair lol and you can’t wash them the moment we get them wait six months or so when they start budding then give it a wash. It will look good and don’t use too much oil

@@zovards2089MONKEY HAIR IS ABSURD

@@zovards2089please god don’t wait 6 months to wash your hair. a clean scalp promotes healthy locs and growth. better poofy than damaged and musty

@@ozziesimpson5382RIGHT LIKE WTFF!!

Bro that’s literally my dad bro,cuz he be telling me to not wash my hair but he is bald

😂😂😂😂

😂

😂😂😂

Lmaooooo I’m dead😭😂😭😂

Not for Freeform's it unravels my hair easily 😢

@@LockEmUp Yes for freeforms.. Thats literally the main part of the maintenance lol.. Washing once a week is a must or every 2 weeks at least

​@@LockEmUpdepends how long your starter locks are in how often you shampoo them or how shampoo them

@@LockEmUpwash it with a durag on

@@LockEmUpyou not black thats y

WWWWWWWWWW THANKSS

Do not most before bed without fully drying them Your hair will start to stink otherwise

@@NaturallyBornBadyeah never go to bed with wet locs that’s a law

Facts just like waves in men’s perspective🎉 but helps with growth

If I were to use this method how long do u think it would take to see hair growth?

I just started mine. What do you think about Rose Water?

​​@@nikkic806put the rose water n a spray bottle n spritz it frequently...I use rose water n I also soak clove, rice n Rosemary n my Copper vessel and put that in a spray bottle to spritz daily (keep this one in the frig to last longer)... Keep the cloves, rice Rosemary water n copper vessel overnight...the longer it soaks the better..

Wash your hair just get a cap to tie it down during the wash. No rinse out conditioner to mature but leave in is great for them. Refresh your hair daily with rose water or another kind of refresher spray and don't use wax products creates build up. Clarifying shampoo instead of moisturizing until mature as well. Hope this help.

@@LocdinTheWay-333it does help! Thank you!!! 🙏🏾

1 week ago for me!! 🫶🏿💗🫶🏿

How’s it going boo?

Was jus about to comment essentially this same thing lol. Have had dreads for 8 years 🦾. There’s a very common misconception that either you don’t wash ya hair AT ALL wen u have dreads (wtf?) or that u can’t wash em while they’re starter locs. Whole time washing your hair promotes and speeds up locking. This is why I encourage people to research from reputable places or people who have that knowledge themselves so they don’t go off hearsay or bad sources that make Them either damage their hair or make Various other mistakes. Edit: and yea you’re right completely. It’s jus apart of the process. What I recommend is washing on retwist days for ppl with starter locs if anybody sees this. So washing and then getting your retwist after, but If you’re going to a shop to get your hair done they’ll usually do that for u unless u specifically say u alr did it. And even then they’ll still ask u if u want another wash usually.

I started mine last week!! how’s ur process going so far?

same , keep me in the loop too

same here 😂

@@oneboredcooki3.-.355 started a month ago i need a retwist so much unraveling my hair grew alot water + oil duo>>

How are they!? ❤

And it could also speed it up .

I have to disagree, I have very curly hair...and that ish loc'd super fast. Remember curly hair is always trying to loc...even when you're not trying to loc 😂😂😂😂. That's why I just humbley submitted 😂😂😂😂😂 and loc'd. Best decision I've made with my 3a 3b 4a curly hair.

@@metsl1870 exactly mine locd up within a few weeks water sweat and protective styles helped i was 5 years in then I just cut them now I’m about to get them interlocked back in

It def. Depends on the hair ❤❤

Im high porosity type 3c or 3b you think its fine if i wash my hair in the early stage?

@@LilithsCosmicLounge I have traditional small locs. I started with braiding them myself.I simply wash, add some oil if needed and retwist every 6-8 weeks.

@@lavernewarren4310What braids did u get? And will any braids/twists eventually form into locs?

@@Unknown-bc6qw I just installed a bunch of tiny braids and left them. My first set of locs I started with two-strand twist. There are several locking methods. Do your research to decide what's best for you.

​@lavernewarren4310 this is so helpful thank you, I started mine 3 days ago and I was so lost. Doing research and came across this. Do you wash them every 6 to 8 weeks too? And do you have any product recommendations?

@@livinglifewithnadine I wash my hair once a week and spray water on it in between. As far as products I use Dr. Bronners to wash my hair and I use oils such as coconut, olive, blackseed oil, castor oil, pretty much whatever I have available as needed. I'm very low maintenance.

If I’m in the first stage and it’s only been two weeks can I wash? I exercise regularly and idk if I should or not

@@liyah3915I’m finna get mine I be doing the same shi I say ima just wing it tbh😭

@@liyah3915washing helps with the process & since you exercise, it’s good to wash ur hair due to the sweat

Thank you so much! I washed them and my scalp can finally breathe lol

@@damia.5974thank you so much!🫶🏾 I washed them and no problems

your wrong you still can wash them but do it carefully and with a wavecap/durag on and have rubber bands on the twist so it doesn't un ravel

@@TahDimmedy’all gotta understand that everybody’s hair is different 💀some ppl go 3 months without washin they locs n they still turn out fye asl..how u finna tell somebody else how da work THEY mf hair😭😭

@@AyeJordan7right, as if im gonna wash my hair with a durag on😭

Likewise! I'm 2 weeks into my loc journey, washed on the 7th day.

@@uzoamakaokoli1093how’s it doing now?

i started min jan 3rd im interested un yur journey..its hard to find ppl close in journeys

@@rugaa372 I have a blog called whispering bliss. I haven’t been to document my journey but I will start now. I have microlocs

I washed mines and it didn’t loc it unraveled

​@@soldiertaylor1527 free form after unravel

Don't wet it if you just twisted it because when you first twist it there loose wait a month or 2 b4 starting to wet

Same

Same here

Why not, I use a leave in daily conditioner every other day and I water daily because my micro locs loves it , especially on the ends of my leave out.

I have 4c/4b type hair, my hair likes a lot of moisture. Feel free to check out mine.

@@kinasworlduncutmylife5903 I have 4C also, but conditioner made made slip out of knots and hindered the locing process. I mean when first starting out- the knots need time to form.

@@fatboitino2 In the beginning I had slippage too , so I stop waited until my hair began to lock up really good and then I went back to it because my hair love a lot of moisture.

when you get retwist if they put a lot of gel run your hair under water after 2 days of retwist dont use soap or scrub jus plain water until its out

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

once a week but yeah

@@r3birthr3ap3r4 your hair collects sweat, dirt, and everything else the air has to offer. Dirt hinders growth in your scalps pores just like with your skin so keeping your hair clean, conditioned, and moisturized makes a big difference!

​@@K33713distilled water tea tree oil and jojoba oil ain't even have to wash till retwist. No dandruff or stink cause the tea tree oil anti bacterial.

@@jesusisking3722 I only say wash cause I condition often but I 100% believe that water alone could do the job 👍🏽😇
