Thank you for this video. I'm almost one month in and I keep seeing videos of people saying they only wash once a month. I'm used to washing my hair twice/week or once a week at least.
they look great! just a question, you say you wash your hair 2x a week, so does that mean you also make sure you oil after both of those times and do you shampoo & condition during those washes or just use water?
Do you warm the oil before using it or keep it room temperature? Also after you oil and sit under drier, are you rinsing the oils out or leaving them in ?
No way do you wash your hair every week, It takes about 3 Days for your long Dreds to dry, and washing so often will make your locks smell moldy, I will believe if you say you wash your locks twice monthly 😅
And you are right it does take 3 days to dry. Longest I have ever gone without washing is 2 weeks. Winters I wash weekly l, summers mostly 2 to 3 times per week. I enjoy washing. I go live on IG when I wash most of the time. Might do it here.
I wash weekly, and my hair is long hitting my ass, i usually wash towel dry, then let it out and head outside about my business, the sun helps to dry so no mold
This is exactly what I've been doing since starting my locs 21 years ago. I wash once or twice a week, oil only when damp and massage. I love the feel and smell of my hair. I dont understand how anyone can walk around with a dirty scalp. Its skin.
I have locs the same length as Kris, freeform. I maintain them with the same process but once per week. If Kris says more, that's all I need to hear 😊. Man is a loc prophet lol - keep up the great sharing my friend! Also... this was some def unintentional ASMR. Edit: I let my hair dry almost all the way before oiling, like he said, water and oil don't mix lol. Then the oil can soak in instead of doing it wet or wet-ish and having it make a kind of messier mix that takes longer to dry. I air dry.
Gratitude King. I am starting my loc journey and would hear different things about how often or not so often to wash hair in order for it to start "budding" it is good to hear that it is okay to wash it more often than not, especially for freeform. Which I chose because it is more authentic and feels better for me. Due to me having thin strains (not thinning hair) I have a lot of fly aways and was trying to figure out how to work with it. Now I know. I am going to try Interlocking. I have a question, how often should I interlock? Again, gratitude. Also, may I speak positivity to you? No longer shall you say bless. You, we have not been created to b--less, only increase (Ibukun), we are above (from above) the head ( on top). So, King, no longer b--less yourself or our people. We only Increase. Humble Gratitude,
Hey Brotha, I was wondering…..(I’m about to start my loc journey. As a sensitive skin, currently loose natural, I could never put that much oil in my hair/on my scalp. Is oiling your hair that way something you would do as a loose natural, or is it because your hair is locked?? **side note** For people who want that lightness of that water/oil blend. If they use an emollient like BTMS they can successfully combine the two. Sensitive skin and allergies had me making my own products. You can also use your favorite water-based leave-in + water, trick. I often mix a bit of my own oil into the leave-in assuring it’s well mixed, then add water/aloe/rose water. Since the leave-in is water based, it already has an emulsifier AND a preservative. So it’s a kewl shortcut. Would that still work for me once I’m locked?? In case you’re wondering, no it doesn’t leave a white cast. It absorbs well and easily into my hair. Thanks for your videos they have been very informative.
@@RickyMitchell-jz6kh Your locs are dope bro, I see your profile! Okay so, couple oils to use bro are Tea Tree Oil, Black African Oil, Argan Oil, Castor Oil, Almond Oil! But the most popular are Tea Tree Oil and Black African Oil or even Argan Oil bro, they work phenomenally with our kinds of hair! Question, how many locs do you have?
When you leave in a cold country, you can't wash every week. My locs would dry out. I have to wash it once a week and when in do. Its not even dirty. If so, how many times a week should I wash my hair in a cold country.
Audibly verbalized “oooooh I trust this man” out loud alone in my flat the second he said anointing the hair 🙏🏾😩 automatic follow
Love the idea of saying the affirmations while anointing your hair… 💜💜💜
Kris has been around for so long giving loc knowledge he’s the only one I really trust .
Same😊

Wash, shampoo, oil
@@KrisMcDred thank you brother
I love your videos. So professional
Thank you
Thank you! Your videos are amazing
Do you warm the oil before using it or keep it room temperature? Also after you oil and sit under drier, are you rinsing the oils out or leaving them in ?
You said you never mix oil with water, so is it bad to oil hair after washing?
Great tutorials
I have a question what oil is good for my dreadlocks
Is that book “dreads” worth the read?
I’ve been locd six months can I still wash my hair regularly?
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ever heard of a tool called the drier? I hope you believe I own 1.
And you are right it does take 3 days to dry. Longest I have ever gone without washing is 2 weeks. Winters I wash weekly l, summers mostly 2 to 3 times per week. I enjoy washing. I go live on IG when I wash most of the time. Might do it here.

The most beautiful video i have watched on dreadlocks . The Speaking is just wow!
You blessing us w/videos this week, thank you. Wish you had a salon...I would definetly be in your chair.
Thank you 🫶🏾. Since I’ve followed your guidance on how to properly wash and anoint my locs, they have been so soft and moisturized. Blessings 🙏🏾.
What kind of oil we’re you using?
Would you recommend washing your hair twice a week for Starter Locs too?
I have locs the same length as Kris, freeform. I maintain them with the same process but once per week. If Kris says more, that's all I need to hear 😊. Man is a loc prophet lol - keep up the great sharing my friend! Also... this was some def unintentional ASMR.

Why do we think imposing our views is righteous? I feel like the energy behind it and intentions is what matters
Is it ok to just use pure jojoba oil, with a bit of peppermint essential oil mixed in?
Thank you for sharing your ritual.. I will start blessing myself blessing my crown
Question brother is this done right after a shower or when?? Never oiled my locs before only wash them
Wow, may God bless you and keep you and give you peace, I believe I receive in Jesus name Amen! Great video!
Kris McDred is the TRUTH. 👑👑👑
Watching your video you say you wash your hair twice a week, Now how often do you retwist your?
I don't. I crotchet for maintenance every 3 months
Any recommendations of the oils? I didnt see a link or website
Just subscribed i dig how you talk about the locs what oil was you using
Damn this had me hypnotized
I just finished anointing my scalp with olive oil too
You have great vibes
Thank you, you're such a an angel 😇 Good Sir.
YES! Speak over yourself...... 💜
Hello, what do you say to people that say you should moisturize before oiling
You need to mist with water %100 before oiling your hair
You use alot holy shit

Is this only for mature locs..can u do this for baby locs too hair and scalp
What kind of oil you use Freeform dreadlock's.!!!💯💯
I truly love it.
Wash your hair people 🤣🤣🤣🤣best advice
I was always told to wet your hair first so it can lock in the moisture. Is that not true?
So did I miss whether your hair was damp, or wet? It is dry right?
I think he does it after he washes his hair, which is done 2x a week 🤷🏿♀️
Yeah you strip the oils then add them back
Good morning Kris,
Will my hair have to be wet or damp when I oil the hair?
The vibes in this video 🔥
What can I do about thinnen locks ? What would you suggest?
Hey Brotha, I was wondering…..(I’m about to start my loc journey. As a sensitive skin, currently loose natural, I could never put that much oil in my hair/on my scalp. Is oiling your hair that way something you would do as a loose natural, or is it because your hair is locked??

Thanks for your videos they have been very informative.
But not tell us what kind of oil? 🤷🏽♂️
How come the elders say don't wash your hair?
Im taking my locs to my grave
So do not use water first?
Beautiful beautiful locs, King. I’ve been growing mine for 14 years. Journey still flowing. Stay strong, King! 🫵🏽👑
What's up man question I'm on my fourth year on my loc journey. What type of oil do you use?
@@RickyMitchell-jz6kh Your locs are dope bro, I see your profile! Okay so, couple oils to use bro are Tea Tree Oil, Black African Oil, Argan Oil, Castor Oil, Almond Oil! But the most popular are Tea Tree Oil and Black African Oil or even Argan Oil bro, they work phenomenally with our kinds of hair!
Question, how many locs do you have?
Amazing ❤❤❤
Oil dries my locs all the time

Bless you!☀️
That was beautiful ❤
How do you keep your locs so black
Gotta keep em hydrated
@@dariusgilyard6570he dye it
What types of oils do you recommend and could a spray bottle be used?

Yes
Just wash the roots gently
Good day to you Sir, what type of oil are you using?
What kind of oil are you using
I’m sure it’s olive oil.
oil that beard too !!🤪
Watch my beard routine video🤣
When you leave in a cold country, you can't wash every week. My locs would dry out. I have to wash it once a week and when in do. Its not even dirty.
If so, how many times a week should I wash my hair in a cold country.
I’d say washing once a week is perfect for locs, maybe even once every week and a half.
Some loc wearers are against oiling locs. BTW blessing yourself is no blessing at all!
