I have locs past my waist. The way to keep healthy locs is to wash them, oil them and to keep a positive attitude, healthy diet and understand that locs are not controlled by us. They are freeing and serve as a spiritual journey. Only keep those with love and a healthy mind in your hair.
When you first started your locks did the person that did it use shampoo and conditioner because the shop that did mine only used shampoo and I thought it was kind of strange because I'm on a hairdryer knee and I brought my own shampoo and conditioner set she only use shampoo.
I'm trying to see if you supposed to use shampoo and conditioner when you getting starter locs can somebody tell me is this true.
Tameka love don’t condition your hair at all.
Real
What do you use to wash it and how many times a week/month do you wash it?
The penthouse backdrop lmao I'm here for it
_Purplekisses3_ yessss!!!
Right! I was like, "Niiiiiiiice!"
_Purplekisses3_ 😂😂
AbSuhLootLee!! That's the $5000 chair i looked at once.....but they do have replicas lol
Lo Washington Jones $5000? Geez that's rent. That a down payment. That's a loan. Lmao
My locs are healthy because I don't put product in my hair. No gels, creams, etc... instead, I massage my scalp, eat a super healthy diet, drink a gallon of water daily and my hair reaps the benefits. My locs are to the middle of my back and they're super healthy. Diet plays a huge role in hair health. Condition from the inside out.
Veronica D. Giovanni so do you suggest conditioner or no?
Veronica D. Giovanni what length you started with & do you have natural hair without extensions
Truth
that and genetics... lol
Veronica D. Giovanni I believe this!
I definitely wash but rarely condition. I do hot oil treatments and aloe Vera gel. ..just because your hair is twisted and greasy doesn't mean it's healthy.
thank you. retwisting and putting gel in makes it look nice but are the locs healthy
@@Alyssaj1236 well how do you determine if your locs are healthy?
I’m definitely team conditioner too.. Conditioning my locs saved my scalp so much, like I can’t even express how much. I was told when I started my locs not to use conditioner on them, and I realized no matter how much moisturizing I did or how much I spritzed it with water or oiled my scalp it still itched(a lot!!!) and the locs itself were stiff, but after I started conditioning I saw a huge difference immediately!!!. You should be careful tho not to use a lot and don’t use any products that is supposed to detangle or untangle loose natural hair, go for products that are hydrating or moisturizing. Believe me your scalp will thank you, and your hair will do better.
what conditioners do you recommend?
@@leafshade00 use a clarifying shampoo and a deep conditioner with water as its first ingredient
When I started watching your videos I was interested in getting locks, but I had a Cesar. Fast forward 3 years and I have shoulder length locs. Allow me to toot my own horn and say that my hair is fucking dope BECAUSE of your videos, man. Keep kicking that knowledge.
Morgan Freeman *seizure
@@lonelypotato3911 No he definitely meant Ceaser it's a low hair cut.
ItzYaGuala ohhh well thx for educating me😂
@@lonelypotato3911ROFLMBO 😂
I’m trying to Repair the damage done to my Locs due to Poor maintenance and Having a lot of stylist in my head some who knew what they were doing and some who didn’t. Pray 🙏🏾 for me lol 😂 🥺
This video just gave me life. I have had my LOCS for 19 years and have never ever NEVER let anyone else do my hair and I do all the simple things he says in this video. Now I do locs for others and they kill me asking me about all these different methods and ideas 😖😣 all that does not equal healthy hair. Thank you for this!!
Castor oil shampoo or black soap and a natural oil is all locs need. My family and I all have long strong beautiful locs... organic has always been and still is the best way to go.
Thanks. I am going back to my locks.but when it came to washing I was uncertain about what to use
Can you dye it?
Danya Rock what kind of shampoo do you use? No conditioner? I want to try no conditioner. Please advise
Black soap always has me on fire.
I owe you an apology Mr. Walter. I was rude. I was in my feelings.
I got offended when she called the loc community ignorant.
You are right. Health is the goal.
Thank you for all that you do sir.
Especially free info.
I also apologize for playing around in your comment section.
I got to stop being so sensitive.
And I also HAVE to learn that if it don't apply, let it fit.
*Picks the Mic back up*
I'm definitely team conditioner
Keisha Charmaine which ones work best for you?
I use Shea Moisture restorative conditioner w/ sea kelp and Argan Oil.......they have plenty of different conditioners lol so I wanted to be specific. I felt like it did well in my hair. Honestly i only wash my hair like once a month sometimes longer if I'm really busy. My locs come down to the middle of my back so i have to use more to penetrate my hair but I recommend it
hazelskin that's what I use🤗🤗
This is evolution for you because I remember a time when u were not team conditioner u were all about hot oil treatments only..did constantly coloring change ur mind??
Keisha Charmaine if you don’t mind me asking! What kind of conditioners are great for locs?
YESSSSS to conditioner!! Before I started locs, I used conditioner and my hair was always soft and manageable and didnt require alot of oil, I also massaged my scalp regularly. I'm 9 months in with my locs and CONDITIONER IS A MUST, now more than ever. The light oil that I use just penetrates better when my locs are damp and soft versus hard and dry.....
I haven't used conditioner in a few years because I don't want buildup issues. The thought of stuff being stuck on the inside of my locs makes my skin crawl. My hot oil treatments work just fine.
YES to hot oil treatments! I'm not loc'd (but I've been thinking about it), but as a loose natural, I love my hot oil treatments as an alternative to conditioners because conditioners are way too heavy on my scalp....I can only imagine how it sits in some people's locs.
I don't use conditioner either, it makes locs lose. No one can tell me about locs, had it for over 4 yrs and I have lovely locs. I just shampoo and moisturize
Look at yannie the locologist she is tha bomb. She is on Facebook. She basically said conditioners and most shampoos have detangling agents so they're bad for locks.
Latea Glenn yes, I've been doing what she said to do with using rose water and vitamin e as a moisturizer. Locs are now close to touching the buttocks.
rabbit0877 I agree conditioner builds up over time in locs and is very difficult to get out.
I've been a natural stylist for 9 years and I have the same ideology as you. I always condition locs! Most of my clientele have locs to their tailbone because I think hair care first! You are my go to guy if I need a question answered. And I love entertainment factor!
Mehoshi Shimoyama. What do you use to condition hour clients hair?
Where is your salon located?
My hair and my scalp feels so good and looks great when hair is shampooed, moistured and conditioned properly.
Perfect
Your quality of your videos are so good. I don't even have locs, but the information you give is universal to all, doesn't matter relaxed, colored, natural, or locked.
Iconic Storage get locs
The passion, care, knowledge and experience does it for me 👏
I’m glad I watched your video! I’m 1 Year in loc journey and my loctician told me to not condition my hair anymore. I been asking her why is my locs so frizzy and dull - I see why now! Thank you!
You don't have to use a chemical based conditioner to moisturize your locs! Before those products were invented Black People still moisturized their hair! Natural oils are the best conditioner because they moisturize and don't leave behind residue! The hair absorbs those oils and holds moisture naturally!
SERIOUSJONES 💯💯💯
SERIOUSJONES right
Jude Fenwick , Castor oil is very thick.
I love these videos but something just doesnt sound rigjt to me: he said "keep it simple" but how is Design Essentials mire simple than castor oil? 🤔 How is a synthetic conditioner better for you than castor oil? I get it, you dont want cocoa butter or sbea butter or gunking up your locs, but doesn't commercial conditioner leave behind residue that attracts dirt and lint?
Oils can be a double-edge sword. Depending on the oil, they can lubricate, but they can also block hydration. The only liquid in the universe that can hydrate locs is WATER because water is the only liquid which can enter the mitochondria of the cell. Castor oil is great if you live in a humid environment, because it has humectant properties and can pull water from that humidity. If your environment is dry, however...it will pull water from your hair. Oils can also build up in your hair over time....so you really have to WASH that out...and all that washing will dry out our locs. Hair requires balance to be healthy. Conditioner and shampoo are a lock and key.
Now, whether you’re team conditioner or not is your business. But if you dye your hair...you need conditioner because you need that extra nourishment. Thank
honey the fda doesn't do anything. they have a small number of requirements to let something pass.
This is very true. I make handmade soap I'm only required to list ingredients and the location it was made.
wait, did you really just say water doesn't moisturize, it just dampens? water is the key to life, we are composed of 65% water, without it we would be dehydrated and dead. so yes, water is hydration aka the ultimate moisturizer and water alone can be enough to moisturize our hair. Now to retain that moisture, we would need an oil to seal it in. According to chemistry, oil and water don't mix, so the oil on top of the water provides a barrier to trap the water into our hair (prevent it from evaporating) for longer periods of time, keeping our hair moisturized for longer. so we don't necessarily need a commercialized conditioner to keep our hair soft, elastic, and hydrated. As long as we got water, an oil of our choice the natural oils that our scalp produces, and a healthy diet, our locs will do just fine.
keep it loc'd exactly.
The way I see it, you can compare water vs conditioner to vitamins consumed through your daily diet vs artificial encapsulated vitamins. If you're not moisturizing your hair with water daily (which can be as easy as misting your hair with distilled water on a daily basis), then you're gonna have to supplement that lack of moisture with an artificial/commercial conditioner. Just like how you would need to take supplements if you're not getting all your necessary nutrients from your daily diet. But supplements are not necessary if you're getting what you need through a more natural means (using plain water)
This is a touchy subject. Water does hydrate and is moisturizing when combined with other things, but think of simply misting your skin with water; that's not moisturizing your skin, it's dampening. You need a liquid, lotion, oil regimen. Distilled water, rose water, aloe water can all be misted through the hair daily but with proper washing, a lotion like natural aloe jelly or something that can basically be washed out of your locs followed by an oil for a sealant is more beneficial than just water and oil. Water hydrates, not moisturizers hair. As soon as the water is dry there goes the moisture.
Michon Melian - and this was exactly my point. You need an oil to retain the water aka moisture. "conditioners" aren't necessary.
Jess Ma'am...drinking water is the best way to hydrate your hair. Physically trapping water in your hair using oil isn't really enough. It's water...putting it in your body is a lot more effective then just putting it on top of your hair.constsntly wetting your hair with water isn't a great idea simply because like you said water and oil don't mix and constantly wetting your hair and your hair swelling and stretching from being damp your drowning your hair in a way. Then suffocating it by trapping water on top of it after it's already absorbed what it could.
i agree with what you said about drinking water being the best way to hydrate your entire body, inluding hair. not too sure about the concept of "drowning" your hair though. eventually your hair will allow the water molecules to evaporate, it's impossible for water to just get "locked" in your hair.
I’ve been watching your videos for years and finally decided to start my locs. Thank you for your expertise!
My son had locs & whenever he came around, there was an odor which I thought was coming from an “unfresh” shirt. Of course he was immune to the smell. Being a mother, I smelled his locs & pew!
He told me he washed them whenever he felt like it. I told him, that HAIR NEEDS washing & conditioning REGULARLY. Stop embarrassing me & wash his dam head!
😂😂😂😂 I had a friend that went down to Florida for vacation a couple of years back and let’s just say he bought back the smell of Florida with him as a souvenir
Keah Harrison 😂😂😷
😂🤣😂❤
My mom told me I couldn’t get locs unless I was able to maintain them. I learned how to wash an re twist my own locs an I’m a man NOT GAY just love taking care of my hair
@@pablomyersmyers6914 , Bless you🥰
I am wanting to start my LOC journey from my free loose natural hair. I've been researching the process because this will be a lifestyle for me. Thank you Mr. Damian for your videos of wisdom!
I just purchased the Design essentials products Damian recommends. On the first use I saw a massive difference. The honey shampoo and rosemary and mint conditioners are perfect my hair felt moisturized root to tip. It flows and is also more malleable for styles. You only need a little. Also a new baby loc I started recently tangled nicely after these products. So moisturized locs knot more not less
Truth and light makes so much sense. That's why I love this guy. He explains everything with no gray area.
chandra ellerson Hello Chandra!!! 👋🏾 Nice to see another one. 🙂
How is baking soda a "powder acid?" We've always learned since middle school that baking soda is a base not an acid. If it was an acid, it wouldn't fizz when combined with vinegar. (For the record, I don't use baking soda in my hair at all.) There is so much misinformation out there that it confuses people.
missmemssme Exactly. Baking soda is not an acid. When added to water it is still not an acid.
They think this man is the be all end all. Don't crush their dreams. I've heard him say some CRAZY things with big made up words lol. I just like to watch him work.
You're right. Sodium bicarbonate is NOT an acid. It's a base. Tap water is neutral/slightly acidic. Add them together and you get a solution that is on the basic side of the pH scale.
When used in the proper ratios and correct order, baking soda and acv can act as a clarifying wash.
@Tony Toni Toné Im glad somebody said it! I believe he's knowledgeable about locs and natural hair. He does beautiful work. He just says some off the wall stuff sometimes. He talks a lot with barely big big words and tries to sound important. It does not take "all the above" to get a point across.
I can’t believe he just made the word “powder acid” up. Baking soda is a base. This is the first video of his I’ve watched but a blunder that big really invalidates his credibility to me.
I live for these dramatic intros!!
You may be right but this doesn't apply with Sisterlocks, because you don't use products, there is no build up. Funny you say, the body don't need castor oil, but needs conditioner? Personally, i believe, the hair needs conditioning, which can be found in your kitchen, you are in the business, so of course, you support, buying products, but what about those that can't afford a stylist, there are many ways to get what your hair needs, and grow it, not just, conditioner.
He has a website to buy his products at a reasonable price
Anyone who can pay for a Sisterlock install can to afford buying products…….
"Locs should not be hard" thank you for clearing that up. I thought I was doing something wrong. I went with my instincts from the start. My loctician told me not to wash my hair for 6 months after install, and I washed it after 3-4 weeks. I keep it simple. I use water but I put a little of a light oil that your recommended over it. I also wash and condition. How often should a person who sweats a lot in their scalp wash their locs?
Hydrolyzed Keratin & Collagen are also made of animal parts! For you Vegans like me. I agree to an extent with the kitchen products/DIYs. I make them all the time but lately, I've been feeling that a naturally formulated product would do a good job every now & then. I'm growing my hair but not into dreads/locs. Haircare is def a bit different between natural & dreads because I think naturals can get away w/ DIYs more often because they can always rinse it out while using them in locs can get them stuck in your hair. I could be wrong though, I'm no expert.
That green screen tho
lmao
lol I was thinking the same thing
Playboi Carti 😂😂😂
He a phoney. A big fat phoney
Atleast its not the background of a dirty ass un organized shop like some videos got lol
Thank you, thank you, thank you for telling the truth! I have had traditional locks for 6 years now with sisterlocks (TM) for about 11 years. People don't think logically about their hair care. No, brother, PREACH!!!!! Folks need to hear what you're saying. Thank you for the educations.
This damn intro LOL - He just looked too "i aint got time for it today, i'm tired" LMMFAO. Great advice on Keratin and synthesis of product. So True
This makes more sense to me than the RUclips's Lockologist. Thank you
**One of the most important videos on RUclips about Dreads + +*
*//Thnx my man + +*
I watch all your videos and I don't even have locs. But I learn a lot about hair in general. I'm a naturalista always looking for the best fit for hair health
From personal experience, conditioners have loosened my locs and caused me to get re-twists more often. I spray a mix of oil in water just to get even coats, water evaporate, oils stay. I use rose water here and there when I palm roll to rid frizzes (corporate workhorse here). Anything else has just been extra and I am happy with my clean locs
You always have the most informative and professional loc videos on RUclips.
I like him so much. So honest and knowledgeable
Wow. Why you don't have a million subscribers is beyond me. This is absolutely fantastic information. I have already told a mixed girl at my work about your channel. She is CONSTANTLY complaining about her hair. She looked up your locks video during lunch break and when I asked her what she thought, she said "yeah I'm gonna have to like sit down and take notes on this, omg thank you for telling me" and then she was wondering why I was watching "black girl hair" videos on youtube. LOL so obviously something you said clicked in her mind. I think your mission statement to "help your people" really is what is going to elevate you to the next level. Honestly, I could see you opening a school or sorts and doing classes for people to get certified in your technique and have them sell your private label products as sort of a franchise type deal.
Carmindy Stevens thanks sooooo much
Carmindy Stevens thanks sooooo mich
yes damion i condition my clients cause it moisten and softens the hair also people who are doing their own hair should try to rinse their hair properly after conditioning hair
Thank you I wear my hair loose natural and I appreciate your knowledge because stylist don't know nothing and ARE setting ppl up to fail!
I'm between you and Yanni I have learned so much about my locs. I try to Shampoo and Condition my locs once a month . I only use two things in my locs. Jamaican Mango and Lime retwisting gell and Coconut Castor oil. My hair is growing greatly and is very soft to touch and Healthy. I'm only 7 months in my journey and I am loving it. I decided to go with the free form look. So I don't have any parts. I Love it.
"And you put that big thick oil in your hair....everyday" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 yasssssss, this knowledge is well appreciated!! ❤️
I'm not loc'd, but I love you.
I started my locs 10 years ago this September. Conditioning my hair is one thing I don't do enough. When I saw this video I clicked extremely fast.. ok let me pay attention. 😉
Justin C just drink alot of water. Better to moisturise from the inside out 😊
Ya’ll weird; you get locs then assume that locs aren’t like unbound hair anymore. Locs, especially when you’re using sticky products like beeswax, NEED shampoo. When you use shampoo, you NEED a conditioner. Shampoo is designed to lift the hairs cuticles to clean, the conditioner closes the cuticles and replenishes. Using stuff like castille soap will cause build up and brittleness if your water is hard like so many places have and your cuticles will be lifted. You can use ACV to bring the pH back, however your hair WILL still be robbed from the soap. Yes, you can use oils in your locs and maybe not use conditioner, however understand that your cuticles will fall of and your hair will be dry. It’s not that conditioners contain detangling properties and prevent hair from locing, it’s that conditioners mimick the sebum that is supposed to be on your hair, which by itself keeps hair detangled. Hair naturally like he said will fall out; it only mats up when you make it mat up being from product usage and encouragement, or neglect where its so dry it sticks together and eventually breaks. There are many ways to take care of hair, but understand Damian is telling you what he KNOWS works; the kitchen shit lol is not proven. You can try it, but again, it’s not proven to work. If your hair were just being hair, only being washed when it rains or in a river some shit, it’d be healthy, because the sebum is spread to condition the hair, there are no extra oils and products that may give a style, but in the long run work against you. There’s science to using chemicals like soaps and shampoos that many people do not understand, just because it is “natural” does not mean it’s beneficial
Thank you for this. I just started my locks three days ago. Every thing I've researched says not to but I have 4c low porosity hair. As a loose natural not conditioning would be death to my hair. So now im "starter" locked I can't see myself giving conditioner up. Thanks your videos are very helpful and I always walk away with knowledge.
Most people suggest not to wash your locks and you’re right their hair looks grimy and probably stinks. If I go without a wash I’m scratching my head all day probably pull in a bunch of hair out I’ll stick to more frequent washing IDGAF if it takes much longer for my hair to lock
Thank you so much for this I have always conditioned my hair when I was younger I have been on the loc journey and my loctician said not to condition it i knew in the back of my mind I should so thank you for this video
When I bring up this man to my stylist, she frowns and says that just youtube mess. BUT, on the contrary, he makes total sense. It's starting me to question her locability. My locs are doing fine so far 9 months in the game but I have yet to get them conditioned. IT'S TIME FOR CONDITIONER FOLKS!...LOL
Harry B Loc'd if they’re doing fine, why question her?
You have to take care of your body...the inside...vitamins...will reflect on the outside...there is no quick fix to anything...it takes time! But healthy hair healthy anything comes from within!
I love the background Damian. Beautiful! Great info! This was straight to the point and spoken from a loving place. Thank you Damian. - nicola
I be tryna tell people to condition their locs!! But the loc community is so ignorant and gets so pressed about conditioner.
QueeninWitKi lol when you don't care about your hair that's what happens
They love to say it slows down the locking process...but my thing is shouldn't healthy hair be the main goal
Monkey 'D'eandro It's not that people don't care, it's that everyone's hair is different.
-drops mic
Mar'Taja Jackson yes it's all different ... But health is the goal ... so pick your mic back up ...
It's old-school ignorance. When I was coming up (around Rasta's in NYC) they didn't do ANY of this stuff: shampoo, conditioners, oil treatments...none of it. I'm at 4-5 months and in my first week, I had to stop listening to a WHOLE LOT of people, professional and all. My locs are/is STILL my hair and I am taking care of it...properly.
Your voice is so soothing and mellifluous.
You are speaking straight facts. I’m thinking about sisterlock & lots of them say no conditioner & I’m like hell no. I’m not letting that go. My loose natural hair is so healthy because I deep condition with a steamer every time I wash my hair, religiously. My hair is so healthy & long. I believe it’s deep conditioning my 4b/c hair with heat, finger detangling 1st, then using my tangle teaser to detangle in the shower, & re-moisturizing every 5 days. & I believe in shampoos not cowashing.
Not just for locs. Loose naturals can benefit from this advice. Thanks!
Just received my package last week without the moisturizing shampoo, looking forward to getting that in the mail so I can start prepping my hair for what's to come. Thanks!
All conditioner can be rinsed out. Dilute if necessary. Rinse longer. Make a conditioning bath that is pre mixed with and dip them. If your hair is brittle, condition! I’m team conditioner and team lotion!
He should already be at 1,000,000 subscribers. When someone know what they're talking about when it comes to locs, that's when people start hating. SMH ALL of his videos are very informative and he KNNOWS his SHIT!!!. Some of these so call beauticians and lockticians be F****** up people hair. They say they know what there doing and how to do hair, they really DON'T. I went to a hair dresser and I wanted the top part of my hair trimmed, the lady cut my hair. Do some of you beauticians know the difference of a trim vs a cut? SMH
Always tell my husband to condition so I just took over and maintain his locs. I'm gonna be better with my hair while it's loose and when it becomes locked. Thank you for the encouragement
I love your videos!!! ❤❤ thank you for being so authentic and informational.
Thank you so much for your great advice ❤. Now I know I’m on the right track to keeping my loc hair healthy.
I just began my loc journey. I wash my hair every other day. I live in the desert where the air is soooo dry and temperatures reach over 119 degrees during the summer. And yes! I condition after cleansing. Because I am at the genesis of my loc journey, I do have to retwist my two strand some of the twists after cleansing until they loc.
I conditioned my loose hair it did wonders. But I wouldn't do it to my loc'd hair. From experience and my own understanding it doesn't make sense. Plus locs can get heavy enough w/o the buildup.
I agree with your statement about the kitchen products. I tried ACV and baking soda rinse once and my hair felt terribly dry and brittle. I never did it again but I do use tea every now and then. What do you think about tea as a rinse for locked hair
jernigan six
Did you condition or do a hot oil treatment after acv? It will be dry if you dont.
jernigan six I'm not sure how you did the ACV rinse but it's not a rinse it's like a heavy duty wash.After I do that I have my homemade rose water that I drinch my hair in after I condition it.Then I oil it deeply.It removes any build up and keeps it shiny and clean.
You better preach!!! Folk round here twisting their hair up with crisco and shampooing with salt!!!
I would like to start off by saying I like this video. Much better than pass videos!!! It is the most informative one yet. When my locs were younger I watched your videos to guide me through my loc journey. The videos I've watched back then I did not like them but I did learn a lil bit. I didn't like them because of all the bashing other stylists and the lack of information. So I stopped watching your channel for years. I ran across this one looking for a style. If you read this Damian, thank you for an informative and professional level video backed by science. May I suggest you do some how to videos on styling.... basically I am experiencing some friction based breakage on the ends. I need some protective styles.
Thank you sir.. you called me out with the GYP part!! But i was told not to wash your hair etc etc. But I know better now! I appreciate this, it answered a lot of my questions! Thank you again!
I'm natural and I love to watch your videos!!! I love locs but I don't have the patience to grow them! I'm glad you stress washing and conditioning locs because I'm sick of my white and black friends turning their nose up at people with locs saying they dont like them because they stink! They stereotype locs like "if you have locs they stink!" I tell them that's not everyone with locs and your hair would stink too if you didn't wash it like you should! Ugh! Thank u for taking the time!
Omg...I am so thankful i found this because i deep a conditioning to my loc and ppl were telling me I'd lose my tightness of my locks but because i started my locs in January 2020 I lived by conditioning"confirmation" 🙌🏾
Thank you so much! I just took a class with a well respected stylist and was told to not condition the locs and to only use a leave in conditioner. It didn't sound right to me so I am glad you confirmed that.
Leigh Ross i don't get why so many tell you not to condition your hair
The truth should never be hard to hear. Thank you so much brother I'm not even a beautician but I almost went crazy on a lady talking about putting vinegar on my child hair. Iloveu4real 💖
Keratin is not synthetic. Is comes from animals such as silk protein, animal hooves or wool. Also all the kitchen stuff is where all the store stuff comes from. Matter cannot be destroyed or created only altered. I will agree that some kitchen beautician products are dodgey, I disagree that all homemade products are bad.
ACV is acid. Baking soda is a base. Water is neutral with a ph of 7, close to human skin and hair. Mixing baking soda with with water does not create an acid. Mixing vinegar and baking soda neutralise one another creating basically water.
Oonagh72 and a salt remember. I never understood why people put salt of their ACV rinse solution because it already forms a salt. If you taste it, it already tastes a little salty too
Tavon Fenwick they are made of keratin
Oonagh72 I thought i was crazy when I heard baking soda is an acid. It's alkaline
Baking soda is a base not an acid.
I just looked it up, when mixed with water I guess it comes and acid. Which is CRAZY!
Love how blunt this video is my Loc motivational page thank you 🙏🏾❤️
I shampoo with coconut/argan oil-based shampoos about 3x a week (more in the summer when I sweat a lot) and I don't condition at all. This works in a 94% humidity climate like sub-tropical Texas. It would not work if I lived in Arizona where the humidity was close to 0% every day. My hair loves water. I eat a mostly vegan diet and have never had skin/hair problems until the 3 weeks here I've been in Chicago. Now I'm back on conditioners. And I hate it. Stress can cause breakage, too...but I suspect it's the dry air and pollution.
I understand where the kitchen naturalista's trust issues come from cuz I don't like commercial hair products either...but aren't healthy locs more important? The only way to know if your hair/skin needs help is to listen to it! Read the ingredients before putting anything on your body and learn what your healthiest self feels like! Balance is key. :)
U the real mvp hunni period!!!!!!!!❤️💙💜💛💚🤘🏽🤘🏽💪🏽
I wonder if he reads these comments because I never see a response to questions

Missdescade Missd1980 this is my first time reading honestly cause I wanted to see what others had to say ... but it's easier to call me .. its hard managing the phone from calls and text messages on face book dms on Instagram and Snapchat and emails .. then answer questions here also
Noaviv Vittorio sure coming soon
The most helpful and informative loc video I've seen this far!
Hello there Brotha Damian Walter. I AM sooo happy to have found your knowledgable encouragement regarding my dreads. i learned a lot & had many questions answered. Thank You. I've had 4 locticians/dreaders during my 2 year journey after having my hair relaxed since age 7 & several big chops & more relaxing. I AM now 62. Iown believe not nary one of them broads conditioned my natural hair & THAT was my question. Should my dreads be conditioned? UNEQUIVOCALLY YES! I thought so. :-)
Shampoo and conditioner is a must for natural hair period
Perfect
True
Very informative!!! I love your knowledge, and videos. What is a good regimen for locs through out the week Damian. I'm 8 months in my journey. Yes, your so right. Everyone I ask about conditioning, says they don't use conditioner, and they have locs. I bought the rosemary and mint conditioner. I love it... I have dandruff, and it gave me a nice tingle.
Neutrogena Anti Residue Shampoo Mixed With Suave Clarifying works and then hot oil treatments. Conditioners clog my hair. 👀
I 've been locked for 5years and I believe in the power of conditioner!
How do you condition your hair?
I am a beginner naturalist an watching your video are so informal i love how u keep it real
...thank you so much for your sage advice! I look forward to my head of healthy, long and shiny locs!
Very well said sir. I never conditioned my locs and I’m almost one year in but this video made me see the light 💡 thank you
I needed this sit-down. Thank you.
Loved this video! Thank you for sharing some much needed information for the natural community❤
Baking soda is not an acid. It has a pH of 9, making it a base. Something being acidic does not automatically make it bad. Everything has to fall somewhere not he pH scale.
I love you, because you love hair! Keep doing what you are doing!
The told me don't condition, dont wash Am so gald am following you , great advice
bronners peppeemint shampoo, rose water then castor oil or whatever oil works best for your scalp. Only products I use.
Thanks for this. I try telling folks. I do realize that I need to use more patience with my hair and not rush or find someone in GA that knows what they are doing and can tend to my hair.
Can you recommend at least one excellent Clarifying shampoo and one Deep Moisturizing Conditioner?
We want to APPLY the knowledge of the importance of healthy regimens.
Accurate understanding about which healthy restorative products are beneficient-This equips us immediately with tools we can use now. Your passion is evident and we thank you.
when you get an answer can you spread the word lol?
Noaviv Vittorio design essential has one
I use tresemme. Maybe it doesn't matter what yoh use.
I use Paul Mitchell. My hair is do clean, it squeaks. Then I use moisturize shampoo.
I condition my braidlocs but I have braids that are not loc'd and its almost a year when I started them, Someone said it's the conditioner. My hair looks like sisterlocs and I interlock my new growth. This week I added rose water as a daily leave mixed with Meille leave in and I love it.
Very, very good info! Keep it coming young man!
This is good Damian! You're in point and Brilliant as usual. Thanks
You're amazing!! Keep dropping knowledge 💙
Very informative, I only condition my hair when I get it done at the salon. I don't do it at home, definitely going to start doing it more.
Talia:) 👍
Thanks for educating bro! I look forward to your next video. I've never understood why some people don't wash and condition their hair regularly. loc'd or not.. just sayin.....
