    1. Don’t sleep without your durag/head covering
    2. Focus on your scalp the first months, use tree oil/peppermint oil
    3. DON’T SCRATCH YO HAIR
    4. Wash it once a month, ideally two if you don’t want it to look rough for the first months. Depends on your hair texture as well .
    5. Don’t dye your hair early

    Iv grown my locs to my shoulders twice now.. All these do’s and don’ts I agree with 100% Damian is amazing he saved my locs the first time and retwisted them 2 more times after that. If you aren’t retwisting your own hair and you have someone else doing it for you PLS PLS PLSSSSS DO NOT LET JUST ANYONE PUT THEIR HANDS ON YOUR LOCS! Iv met a lot of people who have said they can do locs but couldn’t... Ask for a portfolio, verify before they do anything..

    I love number 4. I had long beautiful locks and kept them for a long time. I started them when my pops was alive because they represented freedom. I had just went to college and mother didn't want me to have them. So when I moved out it was the first thing I did. My pops was my boxing trainer and loved them. They got long! REALLY long. He passed away in 2008 and a few years later I cut my locks for a fundraiser for a kid that had brain cancer. Long story short, after that ever time I tried to regrow my locks I kept cutting them over and over because then it was about the "style' where as the first time it was "spiritual". During this quarantine I put my locks back in... But this time it feels different. I'm ok with the 'rough' look because I feel my locks are a spiritual representation of my new knowledge... My "North Star" so to speak is closer to when I first had my locks rather than the image of it. Thank you for the great advice!!

    Great information, coming from a licensed cosmetologist, loc enthusiast, and going thru my own loc journey! I would add using a leave-in conditioner, or a spray conditioner, instead of a cream to help prevent the locs from slipping. Also, if you do have a hard time remembering your scarf at night is opting for a satin pillowcase.

    Thank you so much brother! This was so helpful. New dreadlock tribe started on jun 21 2024. Its only been a couple of days and ive been sleeping with my loc cap and my loctician told me to use small amouns of tea tree oils or peppermint like you said. But i really am doing this because of my spiritual faith of 7 years now. My north star is looking more like my scandanavian brothers and sisters. I am so honored and humbled that spirit chose this path for me. 😅 and damn do i look good. Almost like that new infant born baby coning outta that womb. The push was kina gross but when you put those locks in your fingers and not at the roots. I feel like its a hair garden. Gotta give the garden your nutrients when your gutt tell you too while the beginning days for me. Its saying leave me alone. So night caps and leaving them alone while the roots lock in.

    Great video, yes Damian have awesome videos and I have been binge watching...this is my 2nd loc journey my first one was 14 years, they were sister ocks...now 5 years later, I'm 3days in traditional Locs...I knew some of these but scratching is my downfall so thanks for the reminder especially since I have very low density hair.

    I locd up because I got tired of being so synthetic.... the pressure of having to be "beautiful" in a synthetic way...
    I am beautiful with these naps popping
    I did cheat though I got extensions buy hey im not perfect 🤷🏽‍♀️😂 esthetics at work are still a thing. I wish youtube let u upload pics in the comments.
