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.
Love it 🥰 I’m on round two of locks and I washed my locks all the time. I plan to do the same this time around and I love that you advocate cleanliness. The folks that go weeks and months with no cleansing for their hair just don’t get it.
I know you’ve been around for many years, even before I decided to loc, now I am locing for 5 & 1/2 years & just the other day was desiring & wising for someone to demonstrate how to properly oil my gorgeous locs!!!! I do massage & oil as well but did not think about my affirmations, etc that I read everyday!!!!! & Incorporate this when pampering/oiling my locs & scalp! Merci Beaucoup Sir Kris McDred!!! Merci!!! Sasha Rene’e 💜🙏🏾
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.
I agree with everything you saying but I don’t need to over wash my hair. I wash mine twice a week. (2-3) times a month cause I experience over drying my hair and scalp is dry. My hair Drinks natural oils. So my hair is naturally curly and THICK, it’s clean and I do it just as you are doing yours in the video. However, I spray and moisturize my Locs every day with natural spring water with a spray bottle (spirtz motions ) and then add to the scalp. My hair thanks me 😅😅. And I am Pescatarian 🌱. I drink lots of water. No alcohol. Working on 7 yrs now. I pray over it body and hair , I am extremely spiritually. I use coconut 🥥 oil as well. My hair is only been 3 yrs and 4 months and down my back and past my shoulders. ❤❤❤❤ Thank you for this. What type of oil you used here?

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.
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?
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,
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 ?
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.
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.
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
Kris has been around for so long giving loc knowledge he’s the only one I really trust .
Same😊
… so, who does your hair?
@@JudeTavonFenwick I do my own , it took time to really get the whole process down clean but it saves a lot of money .
So who does your hair?

Is it ok to just use pure jojoba oil, with a bit of peppermint essential oil mixed in?
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?
Wash, shampoo, oil

Why do we think imposing our views is righteous? I feel like the energy behind it and intentions is what matters
Wow, may God bless you and keep you and give you peace, I believe I receive in Jesus name Amen! Great video!
Just subscribed i dig how you talk about the locs what oil was you using
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 ?
Amazing video, thank you!

What kind of oil you use Freeform dreadlock's.!!!💯💯
That was beautiful ❤
I have a question what oil is good for my dreadlocks
I’ve learned alot from him
Good morning Kris,
Will my hair have to be wet or damp when I oil the hair?
Question brother is this done right after a shower or when?? Never oiled my locs before only wash them
I was always told to wet your hair first so it can lock in the moisture. Is that not true?
Bless you!☀️
What pure oil do you use sir?
So do not use water first?
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.
What types of oils do you recommend and could a spray bottle be used?
You said you never mix oil with water, so is it bad to oil hair after washing?
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
Amazing ❤❤❤
Is that book “dreads” worth the read?
I thought washing your hair that often dries it out no ??
Kris McDred is the TRUTH. 👑👑👑
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
I’ve been locd six months can I still wash my hair regularly?
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 it wet its dump ??
How come the elders say don't wash your hair?
How do you keep your locs so black
Gotta keep em hydrated
@@dariusgilyard6570he dye it

Yes
Just wash the roots gently
Powerful
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
But not tell us what kind of oil? 🤷🏽♂️
You use alot holy shit
Wash your hair people 🤣🤣🤣🤣best advice
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.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Oil dries my locs all the time
oil that beard too !!🤪
Watch my beard routine video🤣
Im taking my locs to my grave
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 😅
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.
Haha what ? I wash mine weekly . I use use a dryer on my locs 🤷🏽♀️ Ain’t nobody running with a dirty locs and scalp lol
To me you're envy
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
Some loc wearers are against oiling locs. BTW blessing yourself is no blessing at all!
What type of oil is it?
