FINDING YOUR DREAD LOCK REGIMEN

[@Bindi_Marc]

I like how everybody in the shop suddenly became an expert when the lady couldn't get the red out of her locs.

[@areyaunn8034]

Girl I would've walked out the shop 😂

[@DamianWalter]

I promise it was all love and fun ...

[@raiyne7795]

i'm sure everyone has had a color mishap and tried something suspect, but they all seemed to be just teasing not malicous

[@MissteeF]

+Damian Walter. I just had my comb coils done two days ago what should I put on them and when should I start appying it to the locs? My locs are hard and feel dry. should they feel hard at this stage? also I wanted to order your starter kit but it doesn't say how long is the shipping.

[@BrownBeauty2u]

DeCaf Life Yea ur right they shouldve kept their mouth shut. But i've neverrr heard of anybody using palmolive on their hair 😩

[@kdubkdub4362]

I like with EVERY client "that I've seen" Damian is very interested in their story, their hair...and he's genuine.

[@TheSouthernbellebeau]

Yes Damian!!! I love you wanting to teach these people, because I'm my particular area (north Dallas) no one knows how to really do natural hair (I'm not locing just natural) and every one knows how to do weaves and braids but are clueless to their natural textured hair. Many of these girls going around with salons saying they do everything EXCEPT NATURAL HAIR. How can you do all these "protective styles" if you aren't treating the source you want to protect! Lord let me get off the comments before I rant

[@TJC78]

Alicia Marie I feel you on that! I'm in Dallas too.

[@H3rsh3y86]

😂😂😂 I'm on the floor. she holla " "for that plug" yea she tryna redeem herself

[@starrs6534]

I don't have locs but if I did you would do them. I love your videos...they are so educational. Thank you!

[@milah5853]

Ok Damian. I am educated by you and your videos as always. Yes I am. However, I have decided that your arms are the standard for every man. Pow pow dammit! Pow!!!😉

[@Juicy-J1118]

New sub here and retired cosmetologist! I love that you educate your clients as that is the basis of great customer service and protection of clients’ hair. I have locs and my hair is straight. I’d love some ideas for moisturizing my scalp and locs. 🙏🏼

[@bigpapi5908]

About time he put sum new shit up

[@EmeraldAriell]

If you can buy Shea moisture you can buy design essentials

[@annmariegrant4037]

Fabric softener and dryer sheets? Y'all cuttin UP! Hell, I wanna know what yo travel schedule is just to listen to dis ish.

[@TheSyllabus15]

I have to say that I am glad that I stumbled upon your channel! I have decided to start my loc journey and I have been amazed at how educated you are about not just locs but hair in general. You have answered all of my questions to the "t". Thank you so much

[@desi-likes-unicorns3214]

I love Damiens videos. I learn so much!

[@elevatehope9192]

ive used dawn only if ive had braids in for 3 to 4 months. zillions i mean. or evern for quickweave a long time ago

[@jcamp5818]

Your hair is an investment why pay money to have your locs started and maintained but use cheap products to care for your hair...

[@MariaMaria-wv1sy]

jcamp5818 its not the cost of the product that's important its the content of the ingredients

[@samuelhilljr.1792]

@@MariaMaria-wv1sy thx yu...im tired of people using the word "cheap hair care products"!!!! I LOVE using Suave conditioner in mi locs. Mi hair smell good and it stays moist and soft. I use Suave avocado and olive oil conditioner and Suave almond and Shea butter conditioner as leave in conditioner fi da last 2 yrs.May not work fi most people wit locs, but it works fi mi hair routine!!!!

[@faysam60]

I'm loving the ne format of your videos. I have learned so much from you and you funny as hell!!

[@queenshields7658]

Thank you for the education on hair products. I could not help but laugh when you mentioned all the hair products one has under their bathroom or kitchen sink! I was so guilty, but as you mentioned, I wasn't getting nothing I truly needed from none of it. I need moisture!

[@Lovelace069]

i love that she can laugh at herself......but gull dont do that NO more! dish detergent

[@teiraneysmith1778]

I love your videos just got my first starter locs Sept 18,2021 my hair is very short she used the comb method . i'm excited to get mine growing and I will continue to follow your pages

[@Hischildhisqueen]

Do you have anyone that you would recommend in Florida?

[@vanessaamos-nkpa9352]

Hello, my name is Vanessa and I just started my lock journey a week ago and I'm pretty excited 😊. I was told by loctician to not wash or condition my hair for 6 weeks and I've been doing my research and I find some people say it's good to wash and condition starter locks after at least two weeks. I'm very confused as to what to do because I don't want to have issues with my hair. I have 4c type of hair and my hair gets dry easily, so I don't know if that's a problem or not.

[@skip6978]

How did they turn out?

[@emmalee4146]

Are you training anyone to work in Richmond Virginia? Man...these folks out here can't do locs. I went to this one chick who used scissors to trim my locs...oh heck nahhhh that was all I needed to walk out of the shop. Now I've been doing them on my own.

[@Loved1234]

Come to Chicago...! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE..Before I go back to school..ok thank you lol

[@zj98]

I wish you did my starter locs. I LOVE your videos. Funny and educational.

[@florancewhite5219]

Hi what can I use on irritated thin hair with a bald spot

[@noswishersweet8076]

So could I use extra virgin olive oil on my head

[@Himdownstairs86]

I do agree that using a shampoo conditioner combo is silly and a gimmick that companies use. However, I will say based off experience as well as using Design Essentials products ( you recommend) that Shea Moisture products are far superior. Shea moisture makes a Salon professional line that I use on my locs that you surely should give a look. On top of this design essentials has known harmful additives. When we do our research on harmful chemicals alone -- even if it did work better-- which it did not, it is not an option! Especially when we want to talk about health.

[@dhaggans18]

Design essentials may not be your preference but to in comparison to salon quality Shea moisture still doesn't compar. When it comes to anything mainstream by law when it's on that shelf it's not require to have a high percentage of active ingredients.

[@Himdownstairs86]

+Domonique Haggans I have no clue what your point was attempting to be, but point blank. His focus is health of the hair. Design Essentials has ingredients that are known as harmful. Shea moisture does not. A perm works too, but that does not make it good for the health of the hair. I'll spend my black earned dollars on a black family owned business, that doesn't load me up with harsh chemicals any day.

[@zj98]

+mines2680 Shea Moisture is overrated and I don't think they're really black owned.

[@jerseyl6399]

I stumbled upon your channel and started watching beefsteak you had me laughing...but as I began to watch I have learned alot. I dont have locks, and I noticed you also do non-locked hair...can you give advise on that also...I am natural so my still requires a regime .

[@rodmay7052]

I'm 8 months into my journey, this definitely helped me

Damien I need advice on my beginner locs. i have loose curly hair and am letting them lock naturally i been letting them lock for a month or two now and need advice on how to fix dandruff i have patches of it and dont want to use harsh anti dandruff shampoo on my head. I use organic Karotene shampoo and conditioner in my hair and am trying to keep it as natural as possible as i dont want to end up messing my hair up using shampoos with harsh salfates and chemicals that can burn and ruin my hair

[@jello4dem]

Has Damien made a video on dandruff with locs? I heard him mention it in this video. Also, does anyone have any suggestions for hair re-growth for someone who has tension alopecia and is diabetic?

[@bellamedusa716]

Hypothetical Person try to get lesser tension styles and or retwist and try a clarifing shampoo and balance with a moisturizing conditioner

What kind of solution are you using and do you sale it

I bet someone else will come in saying that they used Pine Sol.

[@jamesrivers936]

I want to know how do you do your locks and how do you lock because I am getting hard to make my tree is locked and I need some help so please let me know how do you lock dreads

[@rocknthefro]

Since you are on the topic of hair color...i had an reaction to permanent hair dye,is a rinse a safer choice when dying hair/Locs. Please help cause I want to add some color to my hair...thanks!!!

[@wantingachange]

Damian said they need and I quote " they need some understanding with some moisturization"

[@mspussygalore]

Palmolive is not just for hands anymore😕

[@TheCShocka]

it's sold in the dish soap section for a reason

[@mspussygalore]

+TheCShocka I thought the same thing...who does that?? Her hair should've laid dead next to her after she committed that crime. #MURDERSHEWROTE #CHALKLINE

[@mjones8887]

+Natalie “MsCrzySxyCool” Harris 😂😂💀 I didn't know there were so many ppl using dish soap in their hair until I came across his videos a few years ago 🙈

[@mspussygalore]

+MéLisa “Jonesie” Jones It makes no sense at all. You're stripping your hair of everything. This woman should've never colored her hair because it's obvious she didn't know what a rinse is and like Damien said certain colors just don't 'lift' that easy. If you don't know what to do with your hair, cut it off.

[@nazarite8326]

what do you consider the correct ph level for shampoo for the hair... i know the body for healthy cell development is 7 or higher. thx for u feedback

[@AlishaPDatsMe]

Hi Damian! Im having a hard time finding 100% HUMAN AFRO KINKY HAIR for my loc extension. After researching I see Vivica A. Fox has a lot of people pissed because her Afro hair claimed to be 100% human but had synthetic fibers in it. That is the hair that was referred to me but I refuse to buy it. What hair brand do you use? I don't want to walk around for years with plastic in my hair!! PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks for your time!

[@SpirituallySpoken722]

Search natural Afro hair on Etsy. I brought some and love it. 100% human. Good luck

[@TheStinalee201120]

Would you be able to use something from Her given hair? I heard good things about them.

[@SpirituallySpoken722]

+Stina Ann I say as long as the hair is 100% human, matches and (I just seen those prices) if you have the coin to pay for it, go ahead. To me, expensive doesn't mean better, but do your research. Good luck!

[@LolaBreakHEARTS]

is there something wrong with Jamaican black castor oil?

[@annmariegrant4037]

Boss Locs It's very heavy, especially for locs. You have to dilute it, basically, with other oils.

[@keyzvlogs5713]

l like your work. Im just starting my locs. But it won't. stay loc.What am I doing wrong

[@Miatiger123]

Hi Damien, quick question. Is the design essential line you provide good for newly colored locs as well? I was told I need to moisturize a lot more now that my hair is colored I just don't know what I should be buying specifically for colored locs. thanks

[@tonisimonson6424]

Damien, I've been using the suggested Design Essentials products, and my hair has responded well. However I'm finding after the 3rd use some of my locs are becoming undone on the ends. Could I be getting too much conditioning with this process?

[@tyshanl6483]

Be careful with conditioning because it can unravel your hair, try conditioning every other wash

[@tyshanl6483]

Be careful with conditioning because it can unravel your hair, try conditioning every other wash

[@mztremias]

Conditioner has slip in it which will unravel your hair. use a stocking cap and put it on your head and rinse hair and then oil. no conditioner til hair loc

Hi. I have a question. I want to start locs but don't know what size I should have. I really can tell if my hair is thin or fine or both. What size locs should/can I get? I wanted microlocs but everyone I ask that do locs asking for $100-$150 for starters locs no matter want size and length. Thinking about doing at home but don't want to mess my own hair up. I need help.

[@beautifulu1474]

What kind of locks are you doing in this video?

[@pvrpleswxg]

Will locs ruin your hairline?

[@legoatjames8363]

they can if you put a lot of stress on them

How long does your hair have to be for short locs? I'm trying to go for a dread fade and I have a short fro over 2 inches.

[@teehooks3172]

Damian Walters I am 2 months in to my loc journey and have had two retwist done along with it being washed. Why are people telling me that I should not was my hair so soon and should be using tea tree oil to cleanse the scalp until my hair locks. Is this true because I can't wrap my mind around this is thought.

[@missnicole109]

Tanesha Hooks not true at all. I get a wash and retwist once a month(I like to have a good bit of new growth). I'm 6 months in, and the majority of my hair is locked.

GUH! dawn dish detergent? New level 🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂😂

[@kendragallimore4396]

i heard using vitamin c pills in your shampoo helps left color but after u have to treat your hair very well cause it will dry it out

where r u located?

[@raiyne7795]

Did this video make anyone else want to go wash their hair. Lol I paused the video and grabbed my taliah waajid three step (2 shampoos) and conditioner and washed my hair. Then i sprayed my carrot oil before braiding it. Ah that small loc life.

[@raiyne7795]

i use the taliah waajid stimulating herbal cleanser, total body moisturizing shampoo, and the enhancing herbal conditioner. I use the carrot sheen or olive oil sheen spray that damien recommends as well. Although i use the carrot far more than the olive oil.

[@knightowl3778]

Did I miss the recommendation part? Where'd he recommend them?

[@raiyne7795]

He recommends the carrot sheen spray he has it on his website. I went with the taliah products because i found more reviews that worked for me than i did for design essentials. I figured i could try them first and if i didn't like them i could try the design essentials. But i got the carrot and olive sheen sprays that damien has on his website and i use the carrot all the time and the olive sometimes.

[@knightowl3778]

+De Ca thanks. Where do you get your shampoo products from? I haven't found one my hair likes.

[@raiyne7795]

Target and amazon mainly, sometimes i will find a good deal on vitacost.com. One thing i found out i went to a beauty supply and found the taliah shampoo and conditioner and bought them but when i got home i compared them to the ones i bought online and they were watered down. So i'm only getting them online from now on.

Beeswax, gels and butters cause buildup.

[@tara3870]

There are actually people out here using dishwashing detergent on locs? People who only wash their hair maybe 4 times a year? I can't. Like Damian says, you have to use a clarifier. You can't poo your locs, it's tangled hair. Thank God you're on KZbin Damian. Even "seasoned" loc gurus need to be educated by you.
