  • @joseluna1738

    Just from personal experience I suggest washing whenever you feel necessary everyone's hair produces oils at different rates so some can get by with a week before the hair becomes greasy some like me can't got 3 days without it becoming oily. I also find that wetting it everyday makes the process section itself much more evenly than if I Just washed my body with wetting my hair. it's only been about a week since i started freeform (before this i gad 3 seperate sets of dreads) and I can feel some locked hair sectioning itself from the rest

    • @MrWickk
      @MrWickk 7 років тому

      Yeah I have afro hair type 4c and it takes like 48 hours for my hair to become a greasy disgusting mess. by day 3-4 my sensitive ass scalp will start to get irritated and if I'm super unlucky the buildup causes scalp sores.
      I'm on month 3 of my dread journey its going extremely slow because I wet my hair daily, but I'd rather have a healthy scalp and longer time in the rough period than deal with that shit.

    • @undead8393
      @undead8393 2 роки тому

      Yeah, just stop using special products or salon methods. The only things you have to do are wash your hair (preferably with a residue-free shampoo and avoiding shampoos with conditioners in them), dry your hair, and then keep congos and rat nests from forming (unless that's what you're going for). The old salon-locks will either stay put or loosen up and re-lock naturally depending on how you had them done in the first place, and the hair at the base will begin to lock naturally.

  • @Jurtaani
    @Jurtaani 5 років тому +2

    As a native African adopted to Finnish family, i never really knew what my hair was up to as it used to curl up extremely tightly and basically block any air from getting into my scalp.
    So i used to basically just let my mum shave my hair off like once per 1-2 months.
    But when I moved out on my own, i decided to try and see if my hair would grow any taller than around 5cm (curled)
    So you can imagine how surprised I was when suddenly i started sprouting few of those locks on my head after like 2 years of just Washing my hair with shampoo just like you said.
    Now my hair is basically on the freeform stage and those locks are just getting longer and longer.
    What is weird is how almost every time-lapse video shows how people has that middle stage, that looks like loose afro. But my hair went straight from the short and tight to locks. It never really resembled anything that anyone could call afro.

    How does it lock like that? I mean because everyone washes there hair and dries it so you mean wash your hair with just straight water? No shampoo and conditioners?

    I have short african hair and when I don't comb it it reallyy starts to loc up but I want to get them done by a loctitian first then just do the rest by myself. My problem is I'd like them to be made how my hair locs them up in different sizes. I don't see many non uniform style locs. Is it possible to get a loctician to start ur locs up with some thin and some thicker?
