    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.

    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!

    This is such a great vlog! I actually came here because of your reason #2 😂 I just started my locs and keep looking at other loc journeys to help me get through this phase. I started with a big chop even though I was natural already. Just wanted to start fresh. But I definitely was not ready for THIS look I have. Your video helps. I will keep moving forward with it! Also I am a fellow runner! ❤️

    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 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.

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.
