Hey there, tip: make sure u don't shower fully before you finish washing your hair. Because if you cleanse your body and then wash your hair again all the dirt from your hair is going to cover your body and can cause chest and back acne. Always shower last so you can get the hair dirt off of you. 💕
Thank you very much for that tip! That’s truly helpful! I usually stand, leaning back so the shampoo and dirt don’t touch my skin but that does hurt my back so it makes sense to just do what you mentioned.
This was so satisfying to watch! I can’t wash mine in the shower …too heavy when wet. I wash mine in my kitchen sink. I purposely bought a high gooseneck faucet with detachable head to get the water where I need it. I have to psych myself up for the job, but as soon as that water hits my scalp…. BLISS😌😌😌
Thank you so much Sio!!😘🤗 Yeahhh I understand because mine are starting to feel pretty heavy when wet too. I’m going to try to wash mine at the sink again. I really love it while in the shower bc it feels so freeing. I totally can relate bc I procrastinate for like 2 days bc I don’t feel like dealing with the drying process.
@@itsDawnElle I tried to wash mine in the shower once and my locs felt so heavy, my head was hurting! 😂🤣😂
Your locs are beautiful 🥰💕 Love the length! I cannot wait to reach that milestone 🤗.
Aww thank you so much!!🤗 Before you know it your locs will get there!
I enjoyed this video ❤! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏿!
Nice and simple, love it.
Yes indeed! Thank you so much! 🤗✨
Nice! I too love wash days!
With my SD I spritz water on my hair and then put my medicated shampoo on my scalp. I wait 10 minutes and then get in the shower and proceed with wash day.
Like you, the key is at some point letting the shampoo sit for a while to do its medicated goodness!
Yesss! Being impatient would definitely ruin the magic that those kinds of shampoos give our scalps!
I love your vid. Super informative👍🏽. Keep them coming🎯
Yayy thank you so much Misty!!🤗✨ okie dokie, will do!
Sounds like you have low porosity hair which basically means your hair is less likely to absorb water and it takes more to moisturize you hair and really get water in your hair! I have low porosity locs as well and due to that my locs dry super fast
Yup! I absolutely agree with you! You described my hair to a T! Ahhhh so that’s so it doesn’t take long for my locs to dry 😂.
Are your locs heavy when wet? And do you only wash once or twice with the head and shoulders?
Yes they sure are heavy when wet. I only wash once…I just start with my scalp only at first and after a few minutes I wash the ends.
Thats what happen to my bottom row. I combed them out and started them over. It was horrible how much build up was in them
Aww man 😕. I don’t blame you because if I couldn’t fix mine I probably would’ve done the same thing!
Hmm ok, maybe I need to dilute my shampoo and conditioner! I noticed a couple locs in the back had white spots and couldn’t tell if it was lint or build up. I got most of it out and it looked kinda linty, but not sure. I’ll try this when I use shampoo that isn’t clear. The flipping is a good idea (I’ll try that when I have enough length to flip lol).
Yeah I would definitely say to give it a try😉. Yup! I’ve seen the same on a few of my locs in the back before too!
Thank you for sharing! How do you dry your locs?
You’re welcome! I wrap them in a towel for about 20 minutes and then wrap them into a different towel ( a new dry towel) to help soak up any remaining water and then let my locs air dry.
how often do you wash your locs? I'm going to start my first loc journey and I'm trying to learn everything I can before I start :)
I wash mine once a week. That’s how I started them off and I continued once I learned I had seborrheic dermatitis. You’ll know what your hair and scalp can handle once you start as everyone is different. I hope this helps!☺️
@@itsDawnElle thank you so much!
@@rarevanity69 you’re welcome!🤗
hola how many locs do you have ? & how long did it take to reach this length ? they beautiful
👋🏾 Hola. I have 55 locs and I started out with bra strap length loose natural hair. It took me 5 years. If you go back to my first video in my loc journey playlist you’ll see the size and length of my starter locs….it’s pretty mind blowing how far my locs came lol.
Thank you soo much!!🤗😘✨
@@itsDawnElle wow it looks so full with 55. Thanks ima leave mine alone😂 i have 88 and keep trippin
@@nahbro9735 yes it does for there to only be 55 lol. Girrrrrl you have 88?! I just know they look bomb!🙌🏾 😍
Question,
Where did you get that towel? I need one asap.
I got it from Grove.com about a year ago. Hopefully they still have it for you ✨🙏🏾✨.
@@itsDawnElle thanks love much appreciated and Happy New Year's to you and yours.
