Love the hair! Thanks for the advice!

Wow you’re so cute and I love your personality. And thank you for the tips! I have starter locs (6 months in) and I’m currently in the process of working out every single day. Which is new for me. And I sweat a lot. I hate not being able to easily rinse my hair if it gets too salty. ): Do ppl just NOT work out when they have starter locs? lol

Aww thank you so much! I think you can absolutely rinse your hair when it gets salty (personally, mine gets itchy when it gets salty, and if I don't rinse it, I'll scratch too much) If you want to prevent your hair from unraveling/moving around too much, you could (1) put a stocking cap on your head (to keep your hair in place) while you rinse it-- It will loosen a little bit, but not as much as it would if you washed it and scrubbed your scalp, or (2) you could also just rinse your hair with nothing on it, but be sure not to scrub your scalp or scrub your hair/head too much to avoid rubbing the starter locs out. Now that my hair is longer, when my hair gets salty, I put it in a loose bun, cover the bun with a shower cap, and then run water over my roots to freshen them after workouts-- once I dab all the water out of my roots (so that it's just damp and not sopping wet) I take the bun out and my ends are still dry and it's fine! Hope that helps :)

Are you in the Marine Corps? I love you locs 💗

[@DreaJackee]

No, I'm just a regular civilian-- the marathon is organized by Marine Corps but you don't have to be in it to run. Thank you! Yours are also lovely. Thanks for commenting and watching :)

How does your hair fit into your bike helmet?

[@DreaJackee]

I just wear it in a low ponytail, it fits just fine! Also my bike helmet is adjustable so I just adjust it for my head & hair size.
