    Washing your hair aides in growth because your scalps needs to be clean to grow at its fullest potential. I think stylist don’t want you to wash your hair because it’s easier for them to manage.

    I'm considering locs but I'm terrified of the awkward stage. I had a consultation yesterday and asked about faux locs over starters but she said don't do it. Your video is more encouraging.

      I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one who’s nervous about the awkward stage. That’s been the main reason why I haven’t taken moved forward. The plan is to get starter locs on my birthday in November. I’m nervous and excited about it.

    Thank you for your video. I'm two weeks (almost 3 weeks) in and I'm very self-conscious about how my hair looks now. Although I see growth I was told not to put too much tension on styling it just yet. I must say that I absolutely love your hair and the length. I can't wait to get some fullness in my head. Also, I'm so glad you spoke about shampooing your hair. I was tripping as well when I was told not to wash my hair. Ummmmm....yeah, that's a big negative! I will be washing mine too in about another week and a half. It's a must!
    I wish you continued success on your journey!

You are absolutely right, wearing them out has already helped to improve my confidence. I’m excited to see how my hair will transform in the coming months. Thanks for the tips ❤️ your locs look AMAZING by the way 🥰

    You and your locs are beautiful. I Am 4 months In my lock journey started by double twist.. I wash my hair on a regular (water on my head helps me Spiritually) it did actually help loc my hair because my hair is natural curly being a Black & Puerto Rican woman so my hair just natural wrapped / formed/ locked itself.
    I agree with your advice. Thanks

    Shampooing your hair is only necessary is you use products. Not everyone does. You can go a great while without doing so. Shampooing your hair doesn’t equal growth. Growth is all about length retention hence why locs retain length. Let’s not misguide people. Video otherwise is cool

    Washing your hair is not a must AT ALL. My hair grows so much more with dirty hair. When you are not putting products in your hair you shouldn't have build up. Use sea breeze to clean scalp. You have grows better with it's natural oil..... Locs or braids we don't wash hair often.....

      Washing your hair is a must. Whether you use products or not there are environmental elements that get into our hair and on our bodies. Dirty hair is just gross. That’s like saying a dirty body is healthier. Absolutely not. You may not agree but I’m stating facts. Blessings.

    Awesome tips🙌🏾🙌🏾 I honestly think that people are told not to wash their hair if they start with comb coils; I was personally told the same by a loctician. Long story short I wasn't Waiting 3 months to not wash my hair.🦠🤢😂 This shouldn't be a general statement for other methods that don't easily unravel.
