How to Wash Your Starter Locs

[@gregdillard9081]

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 🔒🔒

🔒🔒🔒 I washed my locs after two weeks in. Some might come out just retwist them. Love the process....6 months in and they are great ....

[@Funnyvideosrock123]

ain’t tryna be weird but ma’am you are beautiful 😅

[@justster7607]

Everybody says just retwist them. HOW?? I go to a loctician I don’t have whatever she uses. What are y’all re twisting with

[@heatheriza1]

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 🙌🙌🙌

[@heatheriza1]

And thank you eyes for eyes

[@Long_May_They_Raine]

Funny- I remember watching this video when it came out, and now I’m watching it with month old DIY starter locs and it’s wash day!

[@tcarti_]

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.

[@bigsam8597]

I tried to wash my starter locs yesterday because my scalp was itchy (I got two strand twists). Let's just say I had to start all over again. Thank goodness my mom does my hair so I don't have to pay a cent.

[@VinnyMatthews]

Try this method next time or just wait till your next retwist 🔒

[@beautifully_inspired]

I started mine yesterday. I have comb coils. My stylist told me to wait two months to wash at my next retwist and use seabreeze. I’m terrified going that long. Love your vibe 🔒🔒💯

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.

[@VinnyMatthews]

Try moisturizing your locs instead in the mean time 🔒

I am only 8 days with my starter locs and planned on washing them for the first time 3 weeks from now. I helped the movers move my property out of my apartment and got dirty. 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.

[@SkyeID]

I worry too much about lint to pop on a stocking cap. I braid and band, and only two locs unraveled on my first loc wash, so it was no big deal.

[@leondreamcast]

I’m good lol last time I tried to wash even with a wig cap all them shits got unravel and I had to restart all over again wever since then I been waiting for them to loc and haven’t washed them. I just wait for the retwist for that

[@ispeakasiplease]

Is there a way to wash starter locs without the srhinkage after...like what if I could just wash the scalp without touching my starter locs...my starter locs are about 5 inches long when dry but once they get wet, they shrink to like 3 inches...

[@VinnyMatthews]

It’s apart of the process. Once dried, they’ll be at the normal state 🔒

[@ej8178]

Can I ask a question about that? I had washed my starter locs after only day 4 in the process (itching was bad) and they managed to stay together pretty well but at the roots alot of that tight twist curl unraveled a bit but the dreads stayed and didn’t unravel to much at all.but anyways my question is do I need to go ahead and do my own lil self retwist or is this just the process and I should let it be before I see my loctican

[@scrollface1239]

When should you wash your locs after getting them done

[@MagnumBTS]

I got my locs exactly a week ago, i am prone to dandruff like if i dont shower for 2 days they start to appear. I live in Dubai so it is pretty hot and sweaty here. Any advice?

prolly already figured this out but just rinse em whenever u feel like it. water helps dreads lock up. wash every two - 3 weeks

I got starter locs my wife used a crochet needle and Insta locced them. I’ve had em for maybe 4-5 days and I’ve seen videos that said you can wash instant locs right after you get them done but I’m a little hesitant. What’s your best advice?

Hello !!! so I am an athlete I run track and I sweat ALOT I have only had my starter logs (finger coils) in for about 12 days buttt there's definitely dirt and its starting to itch. Would it be best for me to wash a bit sooner since I am an athlete or should I wait

[@Moromilkyway]

Ayo Vinny i think this might be kind of obvious but I guess this might not work when your starter locs are braided on a basic style right? 🤔🤔 cuz for example I have my starter locs braided on a two barrel roll so I guess I doesn’t work unless I take of the braids 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

How long do you keep your 2 strand twist in ? And how long after them being out do you wash them ?

I literally just washed my hair and it shrunk first my hair it was to my eyes now it’s on my eyebrows and I didn’t know it need to get retwisted but she said wait 1 month and I did and the person who did my hair is booked for 2 months now I’m scared if my hair will not go back to the way it was.
