Love your channel ❤ thank you 🙏 I just started my short baby locs two weeks ago. I am so use to washing my TWA everyday. Now that I am locing I haven’t washed my hair for two weeks. Fortunately, I haven’t had any itching of the scalp yet. Can’t wait to wash my starter locs.

[@holisticflo]

Thanks so much for the comments! Im glad you like the channel and congrats on starting ❤️

More tips from a Loctician: -Drink water -Eat more nuts so your body can produce more oils -Stop putting oils on your scalp -See a DR; Dermatologist etc -Exercise -Get an allergy test -Add astringent product to the scalp after sweating.

Thank you!

I started my loc journey in November, but I've noticed a lot of buildup on my scalp since the weather has gotten hotter. I've mainly been using rosewater on my hair and haven't really touched my oils in a couple months. I was thinking it was mainly sweat related and this video tells me I'm on the right track. Hopefully after this acv rinse things will improve. Thanks for the video and advice.

[@holisticflo]

You’re welcome for the advice! Also, I have another video coming that I just filmed a few days ago on how to do an apple cider vinegar rinse that’s less harsh than the other rinses I have been seeing

[@Hakudoshi_Yuki]

@@holisticflo I eagerly await it.

So how do we wash starter locs if washing causes them to unravel?

You said you don’t use gels anymore/you don’t re-twist your hair how do you keep it maintained?

How did you put in your shells

[@JonesFamUnlimited]

Good Q. I wanna know too lol

[@holisticflo]

I used a bobby pin to thread the bead onto my hair. I should probably make a video about it soon. Thanks for the question!

[@exirummRL]

I'm 1 week in on my starter locs, when can I wash them?

[@holisticflo]

@@exirummRL i would recommend 2 weeks-1 month out, but use your intuition and best judgement also

[@exirummRL]

@@holisticflo Thank you for your knowledge, I hope my dreads turn out as majestic as yours.

What do you use to wash your hair?

[@holisticflo]

Here it is www.freetheroots.com/products/cool-lemon-soapbar

[@Dque_keys]

What product do you use? I might have to switch up due to Michigan winter weather

[@_toxicpsycho_7768]

I got my locs on March 4th of this year and recently had a retwist on the first of April my hair hasn’t been washed yet but can I spray water on my scalp or would that not help?

[@holisticflo]

Yes you should spray your scalp, consider adding aloe to your mix of spray

[@coutinguap676]

So if I just mix my moisturizer with my essential oils I don’t have to oil my scalp after moisturizing?

[@holisticflo]

It depends on what type of moisturizer you have. If its lightweight-like water based or aloe based then yes mizing with essential oils is good for the scalp. If you're talking about a creme based scalp moisturizer, i would re-think putting it on the scalp.

[@coutinguap676]

@@holisticflo yes I mixed some rosewater with aloe juice and some tea tree oil with black Jamaican castor oil

Question, how often do you get those spot locks done? I just started.

[@holisticflo]

I never get them re-twisted. I just do this instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opi2Z6OYacuinqssi=JutSDJGLdOjKsZzW
