    Excellent advice. Hair needs water. 💦 Spraying on water won’t do the trick to add moisture because the mist just stays on the surface then evaporates. Misting the hair with water and an citrus essential oil such as lemon, orange, or grapefruit is enough to avoid mildew/wet hair smell because citrus kills mildew or stops it from happening in the first place.

    This is by far the confirmation I prayed for ,,,nobody was able to ever help me understand my locs especially since I don’t twist anymore, and haven’t twisted since the very beginning,, I do exactly what you do, and kept being told by certain people that I was wrong, but my hair is growing and it is healthy and now you are confirming it. Thank you Lord God for answering my prayers.🙏🏾❤️✝️🌿☀️✨ also, this is confirmation for me to never let people knock what I feel is naturally best for me sometimes people don’t understand you and that’s OK❤

    Hi Amber,
    Do you use soap(even black soap) during the rinse?
    Or is just get in the shower and let the water in.
    And wash once a month with soap…
    Also, Do you rub your hands on the hair at all.
    I'm thinking that putting hands in em might untangle them or so.

    I don’t understand porosity and all of that, but my hair dries really fast. I can completely wash or rinse my hair in the shower and a. Hour later (if I’m in the AC) or outside where it’s dry air, will be completely dry in no time.
    Going to start rinsing more. Been using a spray bottle, but I love getting my hair and scalp wet anyhow.

    I've heard from someone that hair locks faster when it's not getting wet all the time 🤷‍♂️ idk why. Have you heard that too or know why it could make sense? Thank you for the nice video 🙏🏽😊

    • @AmberLoryn
      @AmberLoryn  Рік тому +9

      yes, i hear that all the time lol
      i’ve had 2 sets of locs. the first was a “maintained” set where i retwisted frequently and only wet them when i washed once a month. this set is freeform and i started spraying/rinsing daily from the beginning.
      from my experience, wetting my hair helps it tangle up more often which leads to it loc’ing faster.
      this is definitely better for people who are freeforming and are not worried about keeping their roots perfectly twisted up.
      also, because i started with a sponge and not coils, i was never worried about my hair uncoiling. the sponge did a decent job of tangling up each loc from the beginning.
      hope that explains it well!
