    I take very good care of my hair, keeping it clean, drinking water and slowing down on juice/soda.
    I had them done last week on Thursday in two strand twists, but a day or two after getting them done, I wore a satin bonnet to protect my style and from lint etc, but it makes my head itch for some weird reason, even though my scalp was already oiled when I got my hair done, so I recently oiled my hair and scalp…it toned down a little tbh but it was redness in some areas.

    • @NiqGodessEnergy
      @NiqGodessEnergy 2 роки тому +5

    So I just got off a video from yannie the locologist (famous loctican) and she was going off about how people who use water on their hair will cause mold and a damp smell which will damage the locks.

      That Trini lady is cr4zy! They don’t have running water in Trinidad, which is why they treat water like precious gold. 🤣🚰🚿 Dude, wet your hair everyday but remember to Sun dry early in the morning! Treat your hair like a plant 🪴!
