how to wash starter locs | microlocs | how to braid and band locs

first wash on starter microlocs. braiding and banding microlocs.
i did my first wash on my diy microlocs about 5 weeks after installing them using suave daily clarifying shampoo. after doing lots of research on products that worked well with locs i decided to go ahead and give this one a try. i have come to learn that it is really good for combating product buildup. i am actually still on the same bottle of shampoo because it comes in a pretty big bottle and you don't need a lot to get a good lather. it is also very affordable

i decided to braid and band my my starter locs to prevent slippage and unraveling. tune in to see how i prepped my locs for wash day and the methods i found the most effective.

Thank you for this! I unintentionally did micro locs on myself. lol i was doing some small mini twist as a temp hairstyle and then decided to interlock them in. lol So my journey begins ✨I’m really excited to see it flourish overtime ☺️

When did you start using leave in on your locs? I’m two months in and they genuinely feel dry and I’d like to use it on wash days

[@queentyquana]

i’m not sure exactly when i started but i will say that you know your hair best. so if you feel like you need leave in in your routine go right ahead. i’d just say to be sure your washing your hair on a schedule to prevent build-up. have you tried any lightweight oils on them?

[@detola7672]

Thank you for this video. I've had my locs on for 3 months now, retightening twice, but my initial 2 strand twists are almost all unraveled. It makes my hair look like regular loose natural but for the roots. Would you advise that I retwist them or just keep them just the way they are?

[@queentyquana]

you’re so welcome! yes i’d suggest you go in and twist them back together. after you do be careful not too manipulate them too much when they’re wet and braid and band when you wash. also make sure you’re not over manipulating/styling them too.

[@queentyquana]

happy 3 loc months!!

After washing your hair the next day what did you use to moisturized your?

[@queentyquana]

i used grapeseed oil for moisture. you can put it on your scalp and locs while they’re wet and let it dry
