I'm 2 years in the loc game and had no knowledge of what I was doing...all I knew was my head would itch and don't allow someone to use beeswax in your head cause it causes build up...My routine is similar to yours but I use Jamaican Lime Castro, olive oil, AND tea tree oil I juss combine them in a little squeeze bottle and apply throughout my head once a week....I get compliments allllll the time from women on how healthy my hair is...They even tell me I look like King Von 😂
That Jamaican Mango Lime Locking Gel is a great choice for hard to lock very thick course hair! I recently did a retwist on my own locs with it just to freshen them up because I made the mistake of not sleeping with my loc sock on which caused my locs along with the little new growth that I did have to look very messy and frizzy. It came out great and I didn’t even have to use the clips at all!
I used to use the Mango and Lime for every retwist until I started seeing build up. I started using cold pressed coconut oil if I do frequent retwists. Coconut oil works great and doesn’t cause heavy build up in your locs. I keep the mango and lime for times I haven’t retwisted in a long time or for new and stubborn locs.
I’m starting over my loc journey It will be 7 months this month. And I definitely agree with you. All i do is go get a retwist put oil on it after that and that’s it I go every 2 months for a retwist I get my hair washed every time I go and that’s it. I use less and let it be and my hair looks good!!! and came a long way. And I drink a lot of water which I thanks help. Dope video brother 💪🏽💯
Yeah I wash my hair every 2 weeks and oil it every other day and I retwist every 2 months I think it’s a coo routine I also am A big water drinker stay locd fams 💪🏾
Great info. My locs are 6mos old and you are right. I tend to watch a lot of videos to keep my locs healthy and so many people recommend different things. I appreciate your advice 😊
I dig what you said Tae. That is actually what we are told in the beginning, but somehow it is easy to get off track. In all actuality less is more! Less is best! I am 15 months loc’d. I use Jamaican Mango Lime and oil also. I have no problem or regrets. I do use Rosewater from time to time and that is it. Thanks for putting a video out for mature locs. That type of programming is needed and especially from a male perspective.
I WASH ONCE A MONTH, I RETWIST EVERY 2 TO 3 MONTHS, I GREASE SCALP ONCE A WEEK, I DO USE ROSE WATER WHEN NEEDED FOR LOCS ONLY😊 IT WORKS FOR ME😊 GREAT INFO❤❤❤
My loctician always says I'm her best client. LOL I also do the bare minimum. I go to her every 2 or 2 1/2 months for a wash and retwist. I bring my own shampoo that I know works for my locs not what is in the shop. I'll wash my hair at home once between the time I go in. I spirtz my hair in the morning if needed with my own mixture of rose water and distilled water. I only oil my scalp when needed and it will let me know believe. LOL Since it's winter and between the cold and indoor heat, I spritz my hair a little more often and have had to up the oil a little, but when it's summer it's not often at all. I am 16 months in and my retwist on Wednesday was the first time I ever did a style, usually my hair is just down and free.
I agree! Less is more. I don’t use products at all. Only use Argan oil once a mth. Only on the length of locs not my scalp. Hair has been healthy not using products in it
I agree, when I was using a lot of oils, sprays etc, my scalp would be so nasty and sore at times. When I stuck to just washing my hair and doing nothing, it helped with avoiding the bs. I have 4c hair, I wash like once every two-three weeks to keep it fresh and leave it alone and occasionally use rosewater. Just let your locs do its thing, if you want to loc it faster use crotchet hooks to get them instant
I got my dreads for 7 years now and when I tell you beeswax is the worst choice to get while you a beginner, Talijah Wahid save my life first to break the beeswax off my hair and now I switched to Cantu which it's my hair and scalp healthy.
Good advice! And I say it in my videos all the time too about how I never put any products in my hair. I’m going on 15 months 🔒 on Jan. 19, 2021 and the only time my hair gets oiled is when my loctician does it after my retwist. But whatever works for you is what you should do!!!! Stay💪🏽. Stay🔒.
Please don't follow this..olive oil bro..I'm not HATING but come on now nothing to your locks will cause breakage . think of your locs as a plant. Feed it wit organic stuff like olive oil Castro oil etc... But please don't do nothing
@@tellitlikeitisfresh6541 I hear you but after 15 months of being loc’d my hair is healthy, no dandruff, and growing. I just tell people what I do ain’t the key but it’s been working for me and to do what works for you.
@@Madd_Locs ok just telling you the key to having healthy locs fam..if you think not feeding your locs is gonna get you long healthy locs..your gonna be stuck with chicken locs and wondering why your locs aren't growing. You early in the game too creating good habits early is the way to Long healthy locs...I'm 10 years+ and my locs are at my butt (no homo)... .🤦🏾♂️ please don't do your locs like that 😂
Thanks for the tips, man, I have had my hair long for 6 years and was getting bored of it so I was between cutting it out or go for dreads and decided to try dreadlocks, I always wanted to since a teen, thought they looked super cool and here in Mexico they are used but are not that common, it's considered an exotic hairstyle in most social circles and it's not easy to find a good loc stylist here, now I'm a month and half into and went for my first retwist session, its doing great but want to reduce the frizzing, going to try the oil and leaving it alone as you say!
Wait did you say you oil ya scalp once a month 😂😩😩😩stop telling people that 😂.. organic extra olive oil should be your strength fam. I've been growing locs for 10 yrs they are to my waste some are to my butt...what I'm saying is and give your loc you tlc you need to feed your hair your scalp once a week or every two or three times a week cover it up massage it in your hair and keep it moving your locks are always have a shine to it that mean it looks healthy dog locks you will have breakage please my healthy locked people all your scalp feed your scalp not everything works for... But not doing nothing to your scalp your locs will just break off 💯
Congrats on being in the game 10years but yo method don’t work for me and my scalp. My Locs are healthy and I feel great. I had breakage and scalp irritation with your method. I respect your opinion but that doesn’t work for everybody. I speak on what works for me. You should make some content to address what works for you.
Mr Tae Love miss you good to see you my brother ,,,Great video I do the same thing I just leave them be let them do them and I oil once maybe twice a month and that's rear and I go about 3 months before a retwist and my loc's are very healthy and people ask me all the time what do I do and what do I use and my answer to them is nothin but people think I'm lying lol true talk
To start with , i must say , for me Dreadlocks is not about looking good. Had dreads for 13 years , I had to cut them a bit after they reached my knees. They’re thick and healthy. And yes I do the strict minimum…just let them be . Wash them when needed i use a bit of gel from time to time . That’s it .
3 Years in the game and the Jamaican Mango & Lime works best for me too. I feel you in this video bro, doing less is more. Too many styles just ruins your dreads. Keep up the good work g, bless!
I would look at other loc videos and those products would just irritate my hair. After just cleaning it good and putting minimal oils in my hair the itch practically disappeared
What is a proper diet to help your hair keep I strength? My diet is poor and this is my second round of Locs so I want to make sure what I’m eating doesn’t weaken my hair
@@MrTaeLove I mean that works too! Dope. I really enjoy the videos. Glad you started making them again. I had just been going down the list watching all your old ones lol
My Locs are healthy so I can only say what I do. Oil irritates my scalp and mostly all products. So I oil less. But some require more but that just doesn’t work for me. Trust me if you have watched my journey I’ve had some hard times with my Locs and finally figured out what works for me
