    Man I washed my hair first time in two months Easter Sunday (two strand twist) only cause I was waiting to get a retwist but I said forget it. My hair needed washed. I put a stocking cap on and washed that mug. BOY IT FAULT SO GOOD!!! Hair stayed together. I sat under the dryer for about 15 minutes then let the sun dry it out the rest. My hair felt like it had so much more life and bounce to it. LOCA GANG 🔒🔒

      For my hair I use gel or aloe whichever I have on hand . Look at my sections . For the back of my hair I had to buy a extra mirror. grab the loc or section and turn it clock wise. Make sure your hair isn't dry. I would recommend watching some videos before you do it . Just to see it a few times a d different ways .But you will get the hang of it . You got this 🙌🙌🙌

    I’m about to do my first wash soon. I was recommended to use a good oil mixed in a spray bottle with water to moisturize every few days, which has helped with any sort of dryness. I saw another method where you keep the barrel twists (any style) in for the wash and then take them out a few days later.

    Great video as usual chief. My loctician said I was washing my hair too often, so I have slowed down considerably. I do see some flakes here and there, I want my locks to be compact before I start washing it frequently again. I'm not sure if that's a good strategy.

I felt disgusting so I washed them in the shower. My locs are in a cornrow style and in a ponytail so I didn’t ruin my locs. Hair smells great again and now I will wait to wash at my next appointment.
