THE TRUTH ABOUT THE HAIR PRODUCTS YOU USE 

I just love how passionate you are about hair. That is a rare thing these days.

No need to send your kids to school for an education anymore. Just send them to Damian Walter's RU-vid Channel.

Many hate us yet THEY ALL WANNA BE US!!!! From our hair to the swagger we have

I am AMAZED that this video was even necessary. 20+ years since natural hair started blowing up again and folks still haven't figured this stuff out? I have used some of those products and in EVERY CASE they just sat there (like on the refrigerator!) and caused buildup. Seems like people are still stuck on outcome rather than longevity, like you said. Going for shortcuts and quick fixes almost never works out in the long run. Thank you for all you continue to do!

The sound effects made me LOL Great video! I have to throw out the entire bathroom cabinet and start over.

I damn near fell out the bed when I heard Mimi in her Asian lady voice "dats why you don't have boyfriend" 😂😂😂😂😂

lol. Such a ranter, but so true. I've never used any of these products thank goodness. Too funny yet all of this is so serious at the same time. So passionate about it all. Love to see it!

This video is everything! Every one who I asked what they put in their locs said the same thing: that damn lime shit. One person even told me to put honey😳😳 on my hair so it can loc uhh no I'll wait five years for my hair to loc before I put some sticky ass honey in my head. The shop I used to go to put damn eco styling gel and edge control😳 on my hair man fuck that I do my own research and do my own hair and I lovvveee it💁🏽 plus it helps me learn my own hair and scalp

DAMIAN, YOU ARE SO KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT NOT JUST LOCS, BUT HAIR ITSELF AND I LOVE THAT. I ALSO LOVE HOW YOU KEEP THINGS UPFRONT, 100 AND ON POINT. PLEASE TAKE A TRIP TO CHICAGO AND POST VIDEOS IF AND WHEN YOU CAN COME. IF NOT, ILL HAVE TO VISIT HOUSTON TO HAVE THE PLEASURE OF SITTING IN YOUR STYLING CHAIR. THANKS FOR THE FRESH VIDEOS AND KEEP THEM COMING!!! :-) LOVE YOU DAMIAN!!! SMOOCHES!!!

please come to memphis these natural hair care folk don't know what they're doing!! I need you!

I appreciate Damian explaining why these products are not good for the hair. We need more information like this!

Thank you for taking the time to inform us. Knowledge is power.

I love your passion for our hair and your encouragement to love ourselves. I hope to get my locks done by you soon.

Thanks for the teachings. I have been to three different people and I didn't bring my own products and the first two used products that I know are damaging (honey based, jamaica mango lime) because of you. Now I come with my own products. I just tell them I have sensitive skin which I do and this is what works for me. Design Essentials and Taliah Waajid all the way.

Damian u must come to AZ! We started my son's locs when he was 2 years old he will be 5 on November 22nd. My niece started them with gel they were beautiful. Now I've been talking him to salons and the ladies r using shea butter and build up is showing. These salons out act like they don't know what I'm taking about when I ask about the brown areas in my son's locs after they just give him one wash. My son has black hair! I had a stroke in 2011 and I don't use my left hand if I could I would take care of it myself. I sure wish I lived close to u. I see your you tube post and you truly care.

Get us educated my guy, in Damian we trust

Love Damian. Hilarious but with spoken truth and passion.

Yes! You better preach and teach this morning!

Damien, this video was very educational but so hilarious with the sound effects . Keep up the great work educating our black hair community. Knowledge is power

I've been using Aloe Vera Gel and it's been great! And it's cheaper than all the gels out there. 🙂

I don't have locks but I started using products with few to no ingredients. Olive oil, water and even blue magic caster oil (if I need hold) . I take vitamins and wash my hair often & my hair grows like wild fire. I have 4A to 4C type. This is good advice. Fewest ingredients seems better for me.

im so glad you included shea butter! when i first went natural, i tried shea butter and shea-based EXPENSIVE products and my hair HATED it so of course i stopped using it. i thought my hair was just 'weird' lol

what!?!?! you didn't know about that brown gel!!! It's been taking edges for decades now!

I just love this man. Don't even know him 😍😍😍😍😍

His videos are beyond informative

It's paint thinner in hicks edge control which is toxic and can later effect your liver

could you do a video on products such as; do gro, wild gro, and hair fertilizers.

thank you for keeping it 100%! Stop letting these uneducated stylists do your hair people!!

Of the two videos my daughter introduced me to of you I must say, that you have given me and my locs life! Back to what I wasc'otiginally' doing in the first place. Hallelujah!

Keeping it real with a side of comedy/laughter in that order. €:-)

Amen Damian! I get so happy when I see your videos. I used to be a product junkie like the rest but now I do my research and read ingredients like a bible! Teach!!!!

the whole video those products didn't move off the refrigerator

I JUST HIT MY 1 YEAR MARK LAST WEEK.... BIG UP! I DID A 1 YEAR LOC UPDATE CLIP, IT'S UP NOW.

damian, can u be specific on what oils u put in ur lock n curl and why it is blue? man, keep doing what u are doing.

I'm trying to get to you babe!!! OMG smh the things you know, and the passion you have for hair TURNS ME ON!!!! OMG I adore you!

I'm such a fan. Been following you & your logic for years! I catch all the seeds you drop lol... please don't stop.

This man is raw. Love the videos keep em coming #dead😂 #guavajuice+toenails #savetheedges

I've never had issues with Jamaica Lime...but then again I don't goop it on my roots. A little goes a loooooooooong way folks.

I love your Channel because you keep it 100 and you educate us. I really wish your were in DC because I love your work

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Standing ovation from a person who waisted my money and attended the natural hair care classes and graduated. I learned more on my own which I should have trusted myself from the jump. Amen.

thank you so much for taking the time to educate and share. we appreciate you

Nice video Damian....thanks for the subtle yet timely positive strokes at the end. One love.

I've learned so much about my locs from your videos.

Damian you never talk about us fine hair locs what products are good for us. please provide info

Whew! Made it through the list without having to dodge with a product I now use (although I did have to drop the shea butter products - sniffle). Great info here, and as always, very entertaining, too!

Damian you are Awesome ..... just love you my brother ... The bible says if you lack wisdom , just ask .. you got a lot off WISDOM .. God richly blessed you . As every thing you touches turn to gold ..

This was a wonderful video. I think you're right if we take care of our hair they won't say that it's unprofessional or whatever and make laws telling us to change it. It's our own fault. I don't have locks but I'm guilty of not taking better care of my natural hair. This has encouraged me to do better.

yes thank you Damien for this video there everything you stated regarding the wrong products to use and our hair and our loss is 100% correct.

OK, D - "out of a 'beez' behind"!!! In my office LOL!!! :). Great info - thanks much!!!

There's no impact like a positive one

Hey boo.... Miss you. You should do more videos

I love your videos! while you are super funny, you also tell the whole truth!!!! You got the keys lol

that loc n curl be giving me and my clients life 😍

I love the information your putting out,I never been to Houston I live in Killeen tx,I'm coming to get my hair locked i love it,its a start to encouraging and supporting and working together.

Jojoba oil has the same chemical make up as sebum. Coconut oil is one of the only oils that will actually penetrate the hair shaft.

Lmao. This video had me crackin' up. I feel you though. Any products that I use now are thoroughly washed out within 24 hours. You're so right, LESS is MORE!

You are awesome! I totally love watching your videos! Your the only that I see that really knows what their talking about, and have so much passion for what you do! It's not about the money for you, IT'S ABOUT THE SUCCESS! Love it!

And all of the above. I love when he says that.

Those locks at the end of the video are so, so beautiful. I'm really thinking about beginning my own dreadlock journey - I'm 19, in my last semester at my two year school, and my hair is a few years post-relaxer. It's the perfect time! I'm going to share your advice with my hairstylist when I go in to discuss the game plan. You're right Damian, focusing on the FOUNDATION is super important on this journey. Why not try!!! Thank you, please let me know if you're ever in Philadelphia!

I mix 100% pure coconut oil, jojoba oil, Jamaican black castor oil, and 100% tea tree oil. Are these oils good for starter locks?

Knowledge!! (take a drink every time Damien says "All of the above.")

Love you Damian! Everyday I'm so thankful I let you start me on my way. Miss you! Great video! ❤️

So true this journey is expensive cause you are trying to know what you can use.

Excellent video :)

Tell it like it is!!!....(song)...You are right...Thanks for sharing!!!

thank for the good information. very helpful..love your energy!!

I've seen people use honey to roll cigars but never hair. I get my giggles. Thank you Damian.

one of the very very few hair video where someone knows what they are talking about.

This was a very informative video as always. Using the wrong products can ruin a lot of time and effort especially when the hair is locked. I have sisterlocks and only use the sisterlock products. They are not cheap or easily accessible however, these products were created for my locking system and the results speak for themselves. People need to use what's good and what works not what's on trend or "new". I love your videos. Keep teaching and preaching 😘

You speaking the way I speak to my clients! Especially with the marketing of the product and what these products do. Thank you. ......and these sound effects! I can't!

Damian, I love you, but find it hard staying through an entire vid, bc it's hard to hear you above all the noise and the music in the background. Seriously!!! So, thank you. This was crystal clear!!!!!!

Amen to this Video! Thank you so much for the share. You just helped me confirm products for my clients. it's sometimes a battle to break them of bad habits.

Thank you for this video. I now know how to correctly take care of my husbands locs. Much love! New subscriber

Damian chest in this white shirt is making it hard for me to concentrate

Can you recommend what products to use for low porosity hair?

I had "homeless head" for a minute not cause I didn't wash my hair but I've been doing it since I got it started myself and at first I didn't know how to really take care of it completely before getting locs. Big mistake I never even had long hair before so I was totally ignorant of natural beauty products that would be beneficial to my hair all this time I just been getting by with products from Sally's and local franchise stores that really don't have anything for natural hair but I finally just ordered the three step design essentials you have been speaking of and I've been watching your channel for the last two years I don't know what's wrong with me I should have been got them but my shit ain't on the floor yet so its good timing I hope

Very educational!!!! Thank you

Just started watching and I subscribed...love watching him

I love how about ten minutes in he kinda turned into an aunty telling you like it is😂

Greatness in this Message truelly received in Australia.. omg.. you are truelly The LockFroHair Master!!! Thank you soo much x Yes im a black Islander have gone back naturaaal.. Finally ive found a black man who knows how the hair works as a functioning growing organ. I guess ive been watching too many youtube vids on DIYS. I have been watching your videos and learnt from epidermis to follice etc etc.. how our hair grows .. How to clean nd maintain healthy strong hair.. Thank the black God you dont use that 4abc crap! i just know my hair is thick afro and i want no breakage. Period!!! Backs 2 basics for me.. Going to refer all my family members to your youtube channel. And now i can use castor oil for my skin HAHAHAHAH x

16:02 - *Oh, No!* *I've been using Castor Oil for years!* *And, I agree, it is a very heavy oil, that should not be applied to the locs.* *I only use it on my scalp; once every 3-5 days.*

you are truly a blessing to my in home stylist business, I can't thank you enough 🤗

You are right, I have had to use only non-clogging oils and butters as leave ins for my loose natural hair. My hair hates chemical based leave ins. For shampoos and conditioners, I am ok with non harmful chemical ingredients since I will rinse them out. I use your info for my own hair care.

Can you please make a video about controlling dandruff and dreadlocks in the winter

this video is soooo needed! plz ppl educate yourself!

thank you🙌🙌 my 1st set was dine by an African she used wax and gel 3 months later I had to take them down... I was able to see Tiff when she came to NY now I'm so ☺...

Thanks for teaching us. Live long and prosper...

Thank you for this. I used that Jamaican Lime stuff for starter locks and it was a mistake.

I love your shout about hair.

Man the was awesome I wish more hair stylist where like you

Bees wax and sound effects. 🤣😂😂😂🤣 Seriously, thanks for the info.

This was an amazing and informational video. I can't wait to share it with people who have NO DAMN CLUE!!! Thanks Damian!

Thank you thank you so much for this video and your other videos I've just started my loc journey and your video has helped me heavenly as far as how & where to start and maintain my locs. I have a couple of clients I do re-twisting for and will be switching over to your hair care maintenance for their benefits too. And no I'm not a loctician, just someone that started doing locs in 95 and up until maybe last month or so I didn't even know that there were classes for this. So thank very much for your knowledge and help.

have a problem with dry scalp, definitely throwing the jamican lime retwisting gel in the trash. I have been using the design essentials oat protein and henna shampoo and the mint conditioner but I just ordered the almond butter instant moisturizing conditioner. haven't tried it yet. I also ordered the coconut oil spray you had on your website a while ago and idk it made my hair itch a lot.

I loved this video. It was coming straight from your heart.

Same way I feel about coconut oil

i dont know about honey as a styling agent but ive seen ppl use it in hair masks though *shoulder shrugg*

You're fire...great info. Thanks !

Thank you so much Damian. I am grateful for this education

Thank you for this. I'm just two months in. I appreciate the info.
