HOW TO PREVENT DRY LOCS | DRY SCALP | MICROLOCS

I use “Head & Shoulders Royal Oils Daily Moisture scalp cream and it works great for me! Very good content in this video! 🎉

I love my head and shoulders Royal oils line. A definitely staple in my haircare regimen ✨🙌🏾✨

I started drinking a lot more water. Not necessarily for my hair, but I noticed it would feel like I have a muscle pull in my abdomen when I don't drink at least 50 ounces of water a day. I never really paid attention to waters impact on my hair. I do know I have good days and weeks where my hair feels moist and soft. I also have bad weeks or days where my hair feels dry no matter what i do. I always thought maybe its protein overload but maybe it has something to do with drinking water. Maybe during days and weeks where I don't drink enough water my hair misbehaves, something I need to keep an eye out for

I feel a difference in my muscles and body for sure when I’m not drinking enough water. And my skin is dryer too!

1:20 when it comes to drinking water you have to drink half your bodyweight and 10 ounces more water if you are an active person in order to replace the water you lost from sweating

Thank you for that. I’m writing that down for myself for the future. That’s a good way to track it.

First of all I am sorry that I keep appearing in your comment section. Its because you are my favorite loc youtuber so far. Now onto my comment: it's winter and so far ive been moisturizing my starter locs with my rose water/oil/glycerin mix and oiling my hair and scalp before sitting under a blow dryer bonnet for 15 mins. This winter wind is doing damage I'm not retaining the moisture I'm thinking about adding leave in conditioning spray and the Lion Locs moisturizing cream into my regiment but I'm afraid of build up. I know I'm not washing the products out of my hair effectively, I use a stocking cap and I installed my microlocs on dirty hair. I'm afraid that adding more products will just add onto the dirt I'm not able to effectively wash out of my hair. But I feel like I need to do something different

You never need to apologize for popping into the comments! I love engaging with the Flocers!! 🙌🏾 Have you tried doing your moisturizing routine and NOT sitting under the dryer and just letting it air dry?

[@Geechee_Chick]

@@DavidJaysWay I did that a few times. On days where it's not too cold and windy, my hair holds the moisture

[@DavidJaysWay]

I just wonder if maybe the heat from the dryer is causing you to experience some dryness. It’s hard in these cold months because most of the time you don’t have time to sit at home while you hair dries and going out with wet hair when it’s cold and windy isn’t an option either.

This was right on time. Something in my brain made me put box braids over my locs. WORST... DECISION...EVER. I lost hair and it's not soft any more. 😩 Hopefully this helps!

[@DavidJaysWay]

Oh no!! 😳 I haven’t tried putting a style on top of my locs yet, but I hope you’re able to bring the life back into them 🙌🏾✨

[@PlainOlCourtney]

@@DavidJaysWay I watched the instant loc video you made just to put the three locs I lost back in, but it pulled my hair out by the roots from the weight. If you ever make a video showing us how to do a style over locs again, or to anyone reading this, make sure you aren't goofy like I was and ruin your hair for the sake of "changing it up". Do it Mr. David Jay's way and DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU!!

[@DavidJaysWay]

Oh no 😔 I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope that it will grow back in just as full as before.
