    My locs are thigh length. After wrapping my hair with a towel to get moisture out, i wrap my hair in a white t-shirt until my hair is no longer dripping. Then i let them air dry, adding a small amount Tea Tree oil. I use only clear shampoo. 😊

    I'm almost 5 months into freeforming, with mostly straight hair, as long as you ditch the brush/comb and rinse with cold water, everything else nature does for you.
    I also ditched any hair products like natural shampoos because i was scared of products even claiming no residue will still on a micro scale leave some sort of residue and i didn't want to worry about build up or air drying problems.
    Guys, the best way not just for locks but even washing detangled hair is to wash with CLAY.
    I've used bentonite and kaolin clay so far and they both have treated my body and hair beautifully.

      Did it work for you? I also want to start my locs journey with a sponge but I‘m a little bit afraid that it will now work and I will lock stupid 😩 I‘m living in germany and I don’t have black people around me to talk about dreadlocks 🫠

    • @philly-kun691
      @philly-kun691 6 місяців тому

      ​@@RTCschoko Looool, I am also from Germany!! And it worked pretty well for me I have to say. The worst stage is probably in the beginning, relatively speaking. I personally never minded my hair looking, the way it did, because it is all part of the process. After 7 month I gotta say, that my hair looks pretty nice now. Getting many compliments for it even.
      What Iwould recommend though is to maybe slightly manipulate your hair if you are uncomfortable with the way it locs up. You know, just seperating your hair n stuff, nothing major.
      hope this could help!

      July 22, 2020. Hardly any maintanance so they're very lumpy and bumpy. I've noticed them getting lighter from the sun as well but not nearly as light as yours. Do you think that making my own salt water spray will work to lighten them up a bit more? I really like the natural ombre that i have going on and would like them a tad bit lighter.

    You're beautiful jesus and thank you for the great information. I love your locs . I had locs using the twisting with gel method for 5 years and had to cut em when I went in the Navy (I donated them tho) . Now Im growing them back and started them with the sponge method this time around. I didn't take my locs or hair in general that serious when I first started but by the end I was in love with them and did everything I could to take care of them, I was so heartbroken when I had to cut em but I feel like this time Im taking way better care of my hair from the jump. Im only a week in but Im loving it. Again, thanks for this video hope you have a great day or night wherever you are :) .

    Hi Good afternoon. I watched some of your videos on UA-cam and I was wondering, concerning the hair sponge. Should I use it daily or just once and let my hair grow and what part of the sponge did you use? Thank you.

    • @AmberLoryn
      @AmberLoryn  Рік тому +1

      i personally only used the sponge one time in order to start my parts. it gave them a starting point and sections to work with. the locs also combined because i did not continuously keep them separated. if you want to use the sponge more than once, you can. it may make them stay in their sections better, but it’s all up to you and your preference:)

      i wouldn't start over but i'd stop messing with them for at least 6 months. you can combine some of you want so they're not so thin. the roots will be thicker and healthier if you don't manipulate them too much. just give them some time and space! lol
