When you use apple cider vinegar, the water is never going to look clear like straight up water. Your hair was likely extremely clean by bath #7.

[@daviclemons6910]

She compared a cup of the solution to what it looked like after she used it and bath #7 was the closest to the original but it was still dark compared to it. It probably looked a lot worse in person too.

Rinsing your hair in between each bath would have helped with the water staying so dark each round..if you would have rinsed you would have probably only done 3 or 4 soaks but either way you got it clean!

[@lhamilt]

I agree!

[@theemoryquince]

[@goddesslove1980]

When I first did mines I sat my locs in the water for like 25 to 30 minutes and then I did it once again, I do it at least every 3 to 4 months and trust me the water gets better looking 😂 if u do it every 6 months to a year of course the hair will definitely be dirty like that every time even if u wash ur hair every 2 weeks to a month.

[@keilah4039]

Heyyy Lydia! Good to see that you're well. 😊 That ACV soak is the truth! A tip for your future loc baths: keep a coffee/tea mug close by, so that when the solution is cool enough, you can pour over the parts of your hair that the mixture cannot reach, namely the crown of your head. I also try to pour it directly on my scalp to dislodge any stuff there. Big up to Whitney's new Melanin hair care line! Now you got me interested in trying it out.

[@natedizzy4939]

if you do the baking soda first and then do the acv after it will help prevent you from getting that over stripped dry feeling in your hair. they counteract eachother to a degree as one is a base and one is an acid. they dont fully neutralize when mixed but they are definitely better used separately. nice video though!

[@kawaiilombax]

[@Aledimenza]

I hope this won't sound rude or disrespectful... But after seeing all that dirty water after 7 baths.. Before all that.. Before the cleaning.. How did that hair smell? Just wondering.

[@lhamilt]

Not disrespectful at all! My hair generally smelled/smells like faint hair product (scented oil, shampoo, etc). I think that the reason it doesn’t smell like straight up funk is because I do not use a lot of product on my hair. If I had a bunch of gunk in it, I think it would trap smells more.

I grew up with well water and once a month I'd add baking soda to my shampoo and it helped remove build up. Wish I knew about this even though I don't have locks. I'm sure it is super cleansing on the scalp!

[@meganyoumad]

Did it help clear your scalp at all? I’m curious if ACV would clear my dry scalp

[@lhamilt]

It definitely cleansed my scalp, but the dry scalp for me is remedied *for me* by using light oil.

[@lynnie5551]

Depending on your scalp type, witch hazel does a great job cleansing the scalp. If you have very dry scalp though, it might over dry since it is a natural astringent. Plus, it is very hard to find it w/o added alcohol.

Omg do you realize how much money you could make doing audio books, speaking on commercials, infomercials, self help tapes. Your voice is AMAZINGLY SOOTHING 😍 and comforting (if that makes sense)... Ps for the sake of your back and neck go on amazon and get the inflatable basin for the tub or you can lay in the living room, watch some tv and soak. I got one for my daughter ACV washes its so helpful. And Maybe increase the amount of the ingredients it will pull more out in one bath. I usually only do 2 for my daughter and it works 🤷🏾.

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

Ihamilt, great video, I did this once myself and it does work, didn't do it as intensive as you though. I recently tried a bentonite clay cleanse and OMG, my locs are sooo much lighter/cleaner/softer. Just light and fluffy, lol, it did pull up lots of build up/lint to the surface though. Very noticeable, so that's something to be aware of. Best treatment I've done. I would say this should be done on mature locs because it does go really deep. It pulled apart some of the locs that was combined for years. Not totally but you could see it was combined. I made mine with coconut vinegar and ACV, warmed it up and made the mixture. I made mine way more watery when compared to most YT videos I've seen. Worked incredibly well though. I had to rinse, rinse, rinse and repeat, lol to get the water clear though. The clay wasn't hard to wash out, it's just that it's pulls up EVERYTHING, so lots of rinsing before you get clear water lol. I love how light a free my locs are. Whatever method is used, a locs detox/cleanse/bathe is a must on mature locs. I would say once or twice a year for sure.

[@lhamilt]

Ooh I may need to try the clay in the future! Thank you for sharing. I was so shocked by the amount that came out
