I still wash every two weeks. Water helps with the locing process. It encourages tangles. I started my third set of locs myself with two strand twists. I love that better because I am not waiting on others. Plus booking a loctitian is murder lol.
That’s great that you found what works for you Queen 😊. I agree that washing encourages tangles! I love wetting my hair! 😊
Straight murder
I’m 3 weeks into my journey, and my scalp has not been happy. I work out often so I washed every single week before locing! Thank you for this, washing my hair first thing tomorrow and putting my scalp first
I’ve been loc’d just a little over a year and what I’ve learned that works best for me is washing and retwisting every 2 weeks!! I initially started my journey washing and retwisting once a month but my locs were styled. When I started wearing my locs unstyled, my hair matured better washing and retwisting every 2 weeks. This trained my locs to form faster and it’s made my locs look and stay neater until the next wash and retwist!!
I jus started my locs and they are styled when should I wash them and take out the style I been searching for videos but I don’t kno wat to do
I just started my loc journey. I got the comb coil method and im almost 4 weeks and I am going through the same thing that you experienced with your first set of locs, my head was itching alot after 2 weeks so i washed it, it unraveled and im just now retwisting then myself and honestly washing it felt amazing. No regrets. I love your videos by the way. You gave me that extra push to loc my hair and start this free loving journey, I learned alot from you so thank you 💛 and your hair and locs are beautiful ✨
Thank you for information..one week in with self starting locs…I also want to say I saw your video of your son reading! You are an amazing mom and he has accomplished so much! I also am a mother of child on the spectrum 🧩 at 18 months she wasn’t talking and at 3 diagnosed…now she is one the smartest beings I know…keep going and educating! Blessings
This is an excellent video on washing new locs. It helped me because I had so many questions about when to wash my starter locs. I really appreciated it🙏🙌
Great video. You gave me so much encouragement last year when I started my locs and you continue to give me confidence. Thank you Natural Nirvana!
Thank you! So glad to hear I could be of encouragement. Congratulations on your loc journey! Enjoy King!
Thank you for the advice, so helpful and makes me feel better because I deff feel like I want to wash my locs. I was nervous to but knowing that I’m not the only one who wants to wash every 2 weeks to a month or whenever needed is very helpful.
Started my loc journey today !! I’m excited.
I’m so excited for you!!!!! Congratulations😃!!!!🎉
Started my loc journey this week. Thank you for this video 🙏🏿
Thank you for your video. I am just beginning my loc journey and everyone I have talked to says wait for a time before washing and I can't and I am used to washing my hair at least once a week at a minimum so your video has settled my nerves with that so thank you very much.
Omg I love your locs! Loc goals 🤗💪🏽
I was impressed by how little my two strand twists unravelled when i washed after 2 weeks. Hair basically looked the same after, but a tad shorter since I did not put a bunch of stuff in my hair nor went under the dryer like the loctician I went to had me do. But, my twists do reach a bit below my jawline. I've heard you have to be a lot more careful about how you wash when yours are short. I just have itchy dry scalp, and even before I found it was a bad idea to wait far too long in between washes since I end up with an insane amount of flaked skin that's hard to wash out at once.
I started my local journey today. I'm so nervous and excited can't wait until they loc
Thanks for the vid! I’m almost 4 weeks into my loc journey and did my first wash last week. Im starting with two strand twist done myself.
Woo hoo! That’s awesome! Congratulations on your new journey!😊
I washed mine after 3 weeks and today I did my second wash at 5 weeks. And for me it’s my scalp. Once it starts itching I have to wash. It’s winter time and my scalp is drying quicker.
Freshly loc’d myself this week (10.12.21) and I’m in love with them. I am so glad I found this video and your channel. Definitely subscribing. I never understood the DONT wash thing.
I agree with creating scalp issues.
When I started my first set my stylist told me to wait 3 months before washing. I stuck in a good two months before washing it & my hair got so itchy 😩. There’s this particular spot that itches me up till this day when I need to wash my hair 🤦🏾♀️. I’ve never had this issue before. I later realized water is essential to locking and making sure it’s healthy👏🏾
@Demon I’m saying it’s not! I find the every two weeks wash helps with locking your hair faster as well. Hair needs water and to also be clean as well to flourish 👏🏾
My hair itches after a month, but tbh I was too lazy to wash my hair after that. It's been 3 weeks now and I'm starting my locs tomorrow
After a week, I mean
@@lyricxlmxchi8676 good luck! You should try anti itch spray or tea tree/peppermint oil in a water spray bottle applying it to the scalp or witch hazel on a cotton pad to remove dirt build up on the scalp that should hold you up for 2 weeks
Thank you for this video! Great thoughtful information. Your hair is beautiful btw.
So glad it was helpful! Thank you so much!😊
Thank you for the knowledge queen.
Ur so fiiiiiine wtf new sub 🥺🔥❤️
Informative and inspiring. Thank you
I started with coils and I wet my hair after first week because the product they used was very sticky. I washed with shampoo at 2 weeks lol
And will was every 2 weeks for probably next year or so. I want my loc to puff up it makes me think it doing something. I’m currently 3 weeks into my 2nd loc journey. I’m still very nervous because I want them to be a certain way but I’m trying to be patient and trust the process!!
Congratulations on your new! Sounds like yo are off to a great start! Yes, trust the process, and allow them to bloom in their time 😊.
Thank you for this video I'm one month on my journey and I have washed my hair I went to the salon to get it started with comb coils she used some hard stuff I had to wash it out it was disgusting. My hair was super hard it was a mess and she told me dont get it wet. I'm doing my own locs from here on out.
I’m so sorry that you went through that. Cheers to you taking matters into your own hands and caring for your own locs😊. You got this Carol! Keep flourishing Queen!😊
Angel!!! You're locs are growing beautifully. I too am on my third journey and I'm loving them. Yeah I could never understand not washing your starter until months later. That's ridiculous.
Thank you so much Nikkie! Congratulations to you too Queen!😊
I remember the dirty hair grown faster mess.. it’s not the dirt it’s the low manipulation.. your locs are lovely
I wash my hair once a month and now I’m getting my hair retwisted every 4 months I’m in the second month now. I wash my hair At the end of each month with bamboo charcoal shampoo 🧴
I was 4 weeks in with em 😭😭 I couldn’t wait 6-8 weeks my scalp was dyinnn lol
Thank you so much ! Your vidz are always helpful!! 😁 Plus not to mention your so damn Fine !! Lol 🔥👌🏾
So my scalp has issues & I washed my hair after 2wks, then again 2day .. I went against what I know is that putting oil even if it’s a hot oil treatment triggers my scalp to be flaky & itching.. Tomorrow I’ll be 3wks into my journey.. I’ll wait to wash again for my 1st re-twist which will be at my 5wk mark.. the fact that I have comb coils & they didn’t unravel!! So embracing the frizz & puffiness 💞
thank you for this post lovely 😌💯
Thank you for watching 😊
5 months is crazy
I have to retwist my hair earlier than usual, I messed up my locs when I washed them
It really helps me 😃😜
I'm starting locs I just did them yesterday 😊😊😊
My hair is itching and i just finished my micro locs install on Christmas but I have two stand twist. I'm about to wash my hair today after 3 days. I can't take it and my scalp is getting sore scratching it. I'll wash every 2 weeks after that but I work out so the sweeting is just not working for me on my scalp
You're looking beautiful and glowing Queen ❤ 5 months 😳😳😳😳😳 I almost fell off my chair 😑😑😑😑
🤣🤣 isn’t that ridiculous?! Lol. Thank you so much Queen!😊
@@NaturalNirvana you're very welcome! it sure is 🤣 the itching and smell one no no no! That would do more harm than good. She was probably jealous of your crown Queen. Keep following your instincts and intuition much blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾
I waited 4 weeks to wash and then I colored my grey roots with henna. This was my routine as a loose natural and my 2 strand twist starter locs stayed together pretty well. I had to retwist 2 locs only. I also interlocked each loc after that first wash. It’s taken 7 weeks but I am now embracing the frizz. I wet my hair in the shower most days or i spray my scalp with water. I’m going to stop re twisting between interlocking sessions thanks to your advice.
Good tips
I love your locs🥺😍😍😍
Thank you Beverly!
@@NaturalNirvana 😊😊😊
I know people who have had locs before or still currently have them and one of those people told me they didn't wash their locs 4 the first time until MONTHS after they were installed. Good thing I didn't ask for his advice cause I washed my hair 2 weeks after I installed my 2 strand twists. They began to itch which is why I washed but then i started using a tea tree and peppermint oil on my scalp and the dryness went away. I washed every 2 weeks in the beginning. I realized I don't usually need that many times. Now I think I should just wash when my hair tells me to. I moved to once a month maybe at 3 months. I'm 4 months in now so im still learning. I think every 3 weeks would work best but im off every other weekend so its either ever 2 weeks or every 4 weeks I am available to wash. I have 1 week day off every week but I usually cook on that day and do laundry and whatever else comes up so I may or may not be able to. Like I said I'll just wash whenever my hair tells me it needs washing
How do i apply the tea tree and peppermint oil to my twist?
@@j.vosier6786 you can mix the two oils and put it on the scalp between the parts and use your fingers to rub it in.
@@tsimmonds55 thank you so much, I’ll give it a try
i’ve started my
locks with 2 strand twist and i’ve had them for 12 days whens a good time?
Due to my kind of hair I have to do box braids first I just washed my hair today after 2 weeks is that okay ?
Just started mine comb coils today makes a week
I feel I just started my loc journey and she told me 6 months but honestly that’s nasty and she used aloe Vera talijah products my hair feel nice it itches every now and then so I used rose water and peppermint oil in a spray bottle and sprayed my hair and it really decrease the itch a lot
I’m smiling ☺️
When I first started my locc I went one month without a retwist and 2 months without a wash. But I had a lot of new growth and my hair was fine 🙂 right now I’m 6 months in
Please advise me on how you went so long without a wash 🙏🏼 after 5 days, my scalp itches, developing dandruff and just smells dirty. I’ve been oiling every 2 days but this doesn’t help, and only seems to progress the dirtyness.
@@FrozenCharles don't oil your dreads too much your scalp already develops oils a light rinse with water won't hurt your dreads but help with the locking process
I understand the itch problem. I wasn't taking very good care of my scalp, so I went in to get starters and my scalp still hadn't started to recover from neglect. It's doing a tad better now after a month and 3 washes later, hoping it gets better because the amount of itching still isn't ideal.
Try head and shoulders royal oils line. My dermatologist told me about it. I have sebhorric dermatitis. My itch and flakes be real! I finally found relief with this. Hope it helps
I love that head and shoulders royals line it has done wonders for my scalp! ❤️😊
@@charrissehorton3468 Oh it got bad. I had terrible dandruff back in March. I used Selsun Blue and it helped, and I just recently went to the doctor and they thought I might have a bacterial infection from not drying my hair thoroughly, so they prescribed me ketoconazole shampoo. Not sure if I'm satisfied it's fixing the issue, so I hope the next time I check in they take some samples of my scalp to test. I really rather be rid of whatever this is, because whatever caused the itching I now know was from long term not drying my hair thoroughly and wearing hats while my hair was damp long before I had locs.
Awesome 😎😎😎
What happen if you got your loc done July 31 then wash it 2 or 3 week after???
So unraveling is apart of the process? Okay? Got it
😍🖤talk yo shit
Ok! Surprise video
🤣 trying to bring more to the table when I can. Lol. ☺️
Went six months both times I locked my hair because I thought water would untangle it, it worked for me 🤷♂️
i’m starting my locs with coils and 5 months without washing my hair? absolutely not.
i got mine done almost a month ago like 3 or so weeks great video 🔥
How they looking now?

This is my 3rd set of locs and my Loctition said not to wash my start locs because the locs won’t Loc

Yes, you can 😊.
Please run like she said if a stylist is telling you to wait 5 months to wash I been a stylist for 12 years and I know for a fact you will have thinning waiting that long
