I can’t believe locticians are still out here telling people not to wash their hair for months at a time. That’s ridiculous! Water is actually great for our hair and can actually help to speed up the locking process because of the shrinkage! . Smh. I’m glad she had the sense to do her own research , and i hope she reconsiders going back to that stylist lol.
So sorry for your loss. 🙏🏾
I found that washing /wetting my hair has helped it to loc and my hair loves water (5 months loc'd tomorrow)
It has helped that I go swimming 2 hours after a retwist because it’s too damn hot, and my hair started to loc really fast.
I'm so sorry to hear about your family member. Stay strong beautiful.
I started my locs during quarantine and I make a month loc’d on Monday. Your videos have been sooo helpful throughout my process so thank you for what you do 💗
Sameeee.I started 28th march
March 21st ladies!!! We got this🥰
March 12th 🥰
I’m super curious on everyone in this chat. How is everyone’s locs now and do y’all have any tips?
I’m sorry about your loss. Prayers to you and your family. I also wanted to say “thank you”. I just made my 8 month mark on my locs and I’ve been having my loctitian wash and retwist them. I have been hesitant to try it myself because my hair is soft around the edges and not locked yet. But watching this video today encouraged me to wash and retwist on my own. I was nervous but I did it. Took me a little while because I have over 100 locs, but I did it. Thank you so much!
I'm so sorry for your loss.... sending lots of love and healing energies Queen 🙏🏽💖
I'm sorry for your loss. I've also loss someone during this time. It is hard.
That shirt looks beautiful on you. Washing my hair has helped it loc. I think they want to prevent the hair getting messy, but that's part of the journey. I almost quit a couple times but now at 5 months my hair is calming down and looking like locs. Started and maintained myself. It's such a personal and spiritual journey. I never got why people said that but it's really true.
Hey DAE I’m sorry for your loss and I think you are so sweet and I just love your informative information about locs because this is my first time and I am 9 months in . Thank you so much for you being you!!!!
I can say that doit my hair maintenance myself (interlock) help me to know my hair more ! I appreciate touching each and everyone one my locs , feel the the sizes , feel where it’s locked and where it’s not ! It’s my therapy!
I’m a year late, but I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my brother and aunt last year. Thank you for your loc videos. Between me, my niece, and sister, we loc’d and maintained both my sons hair since 2012. I have learned a few things about what not to do. So I’m here to see what to do. This is my first time having locs. I’m 2 weeks strong. I want my hair down my back like my sons and my sister. Lol. Have a blessed rest of your week. 🙏🏾
Your locs are always neat! I like how you pin them down and your edges are neat!👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I am sorry about your loss.... may the good lord be with you and family in this time of need. Your locks are beautiful. Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much for giving me the courage to wash and retwist my own hair. I'm only a few months into my loc life. Since COVID19 as you know not able to go to salon so after watching your videos I was able to do it. I am a new subscriber and thanks again for all your info.
I started pinning my baby locs thanks to you and it makes a HUGE difference in the aesthetics.
Sorry for your loss. Praying for you & your family in y’all time of need.!
I am so Grateful for this video! I was told the same thing, and I'm sitting here with my scalp itching. Thank you so so much. New subscription!.
Im glad you shared on this. I started my lock journey last december and i had to redo my locls coz the last person did a terible job, so i started march, end of month im going to wash my hair and do it from home. Thanks for sharing
Sorry 4 ur loss!! God bless you & ur family! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 & my hair just starting locing at 5 months ughhh (when it actually stopped unraveling) & i still have a ways to go. I can't imagine waiting that long to wash.. i wash as needed. Thanks Dae!
Praying that the Lord sends you comfort!
Thank you so much for your advice, and this new video too! I told my mom I felt like a hair celebrity talked to me lol. 💗
Yep, the best thing is to wash your hair and not allow dust and dandruff to build up in your locs until they break off. My sister in law started my locs with twists and she told me to wash it once a week so your hair can Matt up because water just does that to your hair, it helps loc your hair faster and it's moisture on top of that.
I've had locs before when I was younger but I took them out when I turned thirteen because I didn't like how thick they were. I missed my locs so What I started with recently made me happier and this is my fifth month.
Thank you for the update and very sorry for your loss.
Hey Dae it's good to see you😊
sorry for your loss
Your videos give me a lot more confidence to trust in the locking process 😁
Thank you for that video. I started my locs 2 weeks ago with braids and my friend have an anty who started her locs 3 months ago and she said to me that I have to wait 1 month before whasing my hair. But I know my hair, it is very frizzy and I do a lot of sport. I can't wait one month so last saturday I wash my hair and it was feeling great and It actually help the locking process for me.
Sorry for your loss! Omg I was told that yesterday on my 3 week mark yesterday. I'm definitely washing my hair today cause my story is the same as hers.
Condolences to you & family ... peace be with you! 🙏🏽 great videos and content, thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this info!!! It spoke to my journey❤
So sorry for your loss 💛
So sorry for your loss. Praying for strength for you and your family! 🙏🏽
I first washed my hair my third week being loc’d. I couldn’t tolerate the itching. When I washed it, I used a wig cap so that my 2 strands wouldn’t unravel. Now I wash every 4-6weeks. But it all depends on if my scalp itches.
I really needed to hear this 😫I was told to wait months b4 washing my hair.
So Sorry For Your Lost. You and Your Entire Family and Friends Have All Our Condolences. May God Be With You and Comfort Your Family and Friends. Stay Safe Be Well.
So sorry to hear about your lost.
Personally, I believe starter locs should be washed every 3-4 weeks... now that I am over 2.5 years locd, I wash my hair every week to 1.5 weeks (not after a fresh retwist). I have to because I have scalp issues during the colder seasons so that’s what works for ME. Prior to covid-19 I use to maintain my lil bro locs.. now I am making him do his own! We live in completely different households and I agree anyone who hasn’t should definitely use this time to maintain their own locs and learn their has in its LOCD form. I sent him multiple videos on RUclips to help guild him... he would have to learn the same way I did.
Can I wash my hair every 3 weeks with two strand twists with a stock cap, then let my hair Loc up without a retwisr
Then when it’s locked get a retwist ???
@@antoncoker hey hey 👋🏾 I just want to note I am not a loctician**
But when it came to maintaining my brothers locs, I washed his starter locs every 4 weeks with a cap on his head for the first 5-6 months… as far as not retwising… personally in the 1st year of being Locd, I advise consistency when maintaining your locs with a retwist. It is training your locs to loc up in a manicured fashion. Unless you want to semi-freeform, then go how ever long you would like w/o a retwist. The decision is completely up to you, depending on what your long term loc goals are. 😊
Sorry for your loss
And secondly i envy your locs so muchh. Yours are shorter than mine, but the way they lay down and hang is gorgeous. My locs still defying gravity over here 😭 4 months locd, all done myself one retwist but i always have them in a twisted style for work.
Cece Ruben they will drop soon!! ❤️ give it time
I took your advise and did my hair myself! And I actually prefer the way I do it over my stylist!
Listen To This Sister. She Knows What She Is Talking About. So True DaeLoc. Some People Hair Take Over 7 months To Loc. I. Have 2 Different Textures Of Hair and It Takes At Lease 6 Months To Loc.

Sorry for your loss❤️
My condolences, for your loss.🙏
I totally agree. I love the "feeling of learning to do my own Loc's. And, as far as retwist, Natural Oil's Only.
"Trust me, I learned my lesson too.:-)
I've only been loc'd for a month but this is my fourth loc journey (that's a whole other topic In itself). I would say wash your hair early. I'm active and have a sensitive scalp that gets product build up easy but I ended up washing my hair in the first two weeks starting with two strand twist and out of all my sets, this set is my fav bc it literally had already begun to bud in just a month.
Thanks for all the great loc content.
I started my loc path last week 4.6.20. I d
id comb coils myself. And initially used cantu twist and loc and water/Haitian castor oil. I noticed some little flakes but I believe the water and oil countered the flaking in excess. Since watching your videos, I have found enlightenment in the knowledge you are sharing. Your a positive light, in these dark time. 🤍💜
First of all.. So sorry for your loss.
I washed mine two weeks after starting my journey. I went to a different loctician who said my locs were poorly done. I didn't know better so I believed him. He combined my locs, saying that they're were too small and proceeded to crotchet them. I can never say this enough.. My biggest mistake to date.
Adhiambo Mejah it’s all a part of the journey, learning lessons from mistakes ❤️
She looks solo beautiful ,and classy with her style AND hair .Who says you need weaves to be bomb ass killing it.
Your like my loc mom 🤣 guiding me through my journey 😂
My hair officially locked up within 6 months and I’m approaching a year . I washed my hair the first time within 2-3 weeks maybe a month into getting locked . I washed my hair in a stocking cap to avoid unraveling and I started with coils .
Also I have a 4C type hair hopefully this comment helps someone & I only use oil , water and aloe
I never thought about washing with a stocking cap. I’m starting over my own my locs. About to be a month. Before when I washed them when I was starting 2yrs ago, I didn’t use a stocking cap, and some twist started unraveling
This video comes through after I just washed my hair. About to retwist now
Thanks for this video I will remember this when I get my locs and I feel like it’s time to wash it
Hlo Dae, so the thing is I started my loc journey March 4, 2020. My loctitian told me to not wash my locs for now, he didn't say when. But it was one month already April 4, and Quarantine came, my scalp got really itchy and I had to wash my hair. My locs didn't unravel totally bcos I had watch RUclips videos on how to wash my locs. But now, its been two weeks from my first wash and I have not retwisted my locs
Hey, new subbie here! I think it depends on what kind of locs you're starting with. Sisterlocks has a butt load of rules, do's and don'ts. I started with sisterlocks even though I like the look of traditional locs better. After a year of having sisterlocks I combined my locs to start my traditional locs journey. What I've found, and unfortunately I found out the hard way, is that you have to be VERY, VERY, VERY careful of who you choose to be your loctician. People are out here scamming folks, people are all about the money and don't care about your hair. They are telling people to come back in two or three weeks for retwists which is entirely too soon for retwisting and only leads to breakage. You gave the right advice - wash your hair when it needs it. Do your research on these locticians. Look at their work, ask others for recommendations. There are a lot of FAKES out here. SMH.
Thank you so much for your input!
You're welcome! And when I said retwisting in two or three weeks is too soon, I meant for sisterlocks in particular because they are smaller locs that can break easily from too much manipulation and tension.
I just started my locs yesterday and I didn't use any gel. Cause I didn't want the build up in my hair. I'm new to your channel and I love how you provide us with so much information about locs. Thank you and God bless.
Good luck on your journey!
Praying God comforts and keep you and your family.
i started mine in September & it was an impulse decision that i don’t regret AT ALL. but my parting is wayyyyyyy off. i started w two strand twist . & had sm unraveling i thought i was doing something wrong. they’re forming beautifully though!! tysm for the reassurance in this vid
I'm so happy to hear that bc I just started my loc journey but I did it with 2 strands twists
Am always excited to hear from you,always looking Gorgeous.I have a question,am 1month and 7 days since my start on the lock journey have been having my hair sytled everytime i go for retouch,is this good or shud i let my hair b like like yours?
Sorry for your loss
Hello Queen. I just started back my loc’ journey. I started 2yrs ago and then I cut them out (long story on why I got rid of them). I decided to start them back 6/26/22. It’s only been 2wks, but I’m confident and I’m loving it more this time around. I would wear wigs and so forth when I last started, but now I’m wearing it out. I have 4C hair, how often should I retwist?! Every 3-4wks or 6 wks?!
Hi Dae👋🏾 so I’m only 2 weeks in my loc journey and I’m going to wash my hair. Should I re-twist after I wash my hair since it only been 2 weeks and 3 days to be exact?
So sorry for your loss🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾 love your channel ❤️
You looking beautiful as always 😍😍😍
Washing your locks does help lock I was experiencing budding in my 5th and 6th month and now my hair is pretty much locked in my 7 8 9 months
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
sorry for your loss
I waited a whole month bc I started on clean hair and I wasn’t using any products on my hair except oil so I was okay
My condolences for your loss! ❤️ I contemplated and contemplated to wash and re-twist my baby locs (almost 7mths) myself, then watch umpteen RUclips videos, then contemplated some more... I discouraged myself because I felt like I’m going to screw my entire journey up! I can’t see the back of my head, I’m going to mess up my parting spaces, I’ll probably retwist the wrong direction, my arms are going to get tired, I’m going to get frustrated... these were my thoughts 💭.... LUCKILY my loctician text me the other day to tell me she would do my hair at her home 🙏🏾 but I really do want to learn to do it myself. As always, thanks Dae!
My locs are 6 months and I was offered that option. You won't catch me going over nanbody house talking about a retwist. Not with this Corona running rampant, no ma'am Pam. I say it's trial and error, me possibly jackin my hair up is part of my loc journey.💖
Tamisha B My loctician and I both took proper precautions, I was her only client during my service, just her and I. I wore a mask 😷 traveling to and from her home. But I have taken the first steps for self maintenance by purchasing loc products and tools, definitely by the time my next re-twist rolls around COVID19 or not, I will be much more prepared.
@@shani-gurlt8397 Hey Lady, as I sit and attempt my second solo retwist, I'm looking for that white flag to wave. OMG I give up!😭 It seemed so much easier last time. Looks like I'm going to be eating my words, although I might try again in the morning.🤞🏽
Tamisha B Hey there!! Whether you gave up or not, you at least attempted. That’s very important! I haven’t even gotten to that part yet, lol so shouts out to you!! ❤️ So and steady, Take breaks often. We can do this.
Awwww thank you! That was so sweet I appreciate the encouragement. It's very motivating and got me saying I think I can, I think I can. 🥰
My condolences to you and your family.
Wow I give my prayers 🙏🏽
I am a month In with my locs and it’s time to retwist what products do I need to retwist them with.. and this is my first time doing my own locs I been watching your videos u have been so helpful.. please help
I just got starter locs and april with me the first month for wash and retwist I think it’s too soon for the growth of my hair.When I have braids in from crochet hair style I keep it in for 2 months I have a lot of new-growth then.I feel like it’s a waste for me to go to the salon every month knowing to it’s not much growth.What u think is best?I need some help 🙂
Thank you so much for this. ❤️🙏🏽 I just started my journey around November last year. I'm doing the locs on my own. I need help! Lol
Congrats on your journey! You’ve got this!
This is my 2nd time ever getting any styling done to my hair and I’m 21 so I had no knowledge, been 4 months since starter locs no retwist bc of money and idk if they’re salvagable or not… just been rocking the durag…
My condolences to you and your family ❤
Thanks for sharing!
I began my journey in June . My lotician sad no to washing and I would not loc until October or November. I watched some You Tube videos and she didn’t even realized I washed it upon return.
I also agree that some stylish have a one and all plan for products . Everything doesn’t work for everyone. I said no to that Black Jamaican castor oil. The build up was insane and with my seborrhea dermatitis it was horrific. She told me to give it another try and I said absolutely NOT!!!
Thank you for this information I am a nubby to the Loc world I started my Loc journey 1/4/24 I am approaching 6mos and my hair hasn’t locked yet. I have been told not to wash my hair and let it be. I can’t stand it I have to wash my hair. Thank you Thank you THANK YOU!
PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
My loctician told me I can’t wash my starter locs either I was devastated 🤦🏾♀️
My locs is not up to one week can I add oil and water on it
Thank you for the information. Your beautiful you are right this is my journey. My hair itches so bad. My loc stylist told me don’t wash my hair until my hair locs because I have between a 4b/c hair. I’m bout to wash my hair.
TheTeacher9900 please wash your hair!! Your hair may unravel, but that is normal. It will loc when it is ready, and not washing it will not cause it to loc any faster! ❤️
@@daelocs Thank you for responding. I just washed my hair and retested it. It feels so much better. You got a new subscriber.
Thank you, in wait for about 6 days after retwist, when it wash, the retwist untwists...
My hair is so thin believe it or not I have to wash it once a month it’s stronger when it’s oily
I’m a week into my journey with comb coils. I used a homemade concoction of aloe Vera gel to twist. And I’ve also been working out. My scalp is so itchy. When can I wash! I previously washed my hair weekly when I just had curls and my scalp is talking to me.
Maybe the gel is causing the itching. I'm only using oil and water, clips of course, and hooded dryer to maintain my hair. Have you oiled your scalp love? Jojoba oil works best for my sensitive skin. It doesn't have a fragrance and it's light. Not heavy like castor oil. I do use Jamaican black castor oil on my edges.
So sorry for your lost.
My locx are 5 months not yet locked am going for my second retwist in 3days .
Is aloe vera plant 🪴 a good twist or retwist
You are sooo beautiful! 🥰😍if you don’t mind me asking what camera 📷 are you using?
AfropuffsNMommyhood thank you so much! And I record on my phone 🥴😂
Great content
Im 9 weeks in today. I started with braids.
Soo how often? Every 4 weeks??
Thanks for the video and I don’t go to any more stylist because they say the same thing Don’t wash your hair that’s gross
My natural locs short just like this.
I get my locks washed every month since my first retwist
girl i need sooo much help. My 4 year old son has started his locs in feburary and my sons god mother did it. I asked her when should i wash his hair and she said i couldnt until it locs up so i have just been moisturizing i was using and using loc gel and edge control for a little bit starting seeing build up so i just used the loc gel so i stopped cause my son well with him being a kid hes gonna do a lot and his hair becoming frizzy is just part of him being a kid. So i have started him on a twisting cream hoping for better results. Well it smells great and works well with his hair, But everything i looked up and his god mother said not to wash until it locked im just like wth. his hair is locked but there is build up and i am still learning how to twist and retwist. Id like to do his first twist tomorrow im just kind of stuck on what i should use to wash with. SOS SOS SOS!!! ASAP SIS
Wash it. Use me as an example. I washed my hair at two weeks, and every two weeks after that. Hair needs to be kept clean ESPECIALLY if you’re using product. Some people’s hair takes over a year to loc so Does this mean they should go a year without washing their hair? Ofcourse not! Lol, you will be fine. It is a learning curve. My top advice, keep the scalp clean, be patient, and do not use heavy products like creams. Be veryyyy careful with the gel. It may not show up right away but later on it will surface. Take care! You got this!
You are so pretty
Neytiri Solar thank you ❤️
That really is crazy that she told her that.
Kassaday J right!! Lol
I washed my starter locs after a month
What edge control do you use?
Toni Lachelle design essentials
Havent washed my locs since i got them In November 2023. Its July 2024
You look so beautiful i love you heath looking loc
Sorry for your lost.
😍❤️❤️
I wet my starters 3 week after I got them… They puffed up
I almost fell out!!! That’s entirely too long not to wash your hair. If I waited that long my skin would break out
