This is me attempting to consume all loc knowledge while waiting for my hair to grow a few inches so i can start the process...😔 Awesome advice, awesome channel, awesome personality

[@SammyDaGawd]

I’m glad to be a part of your binge😂

[@passionatelocs]

This tickled me 😂

[@kyraariana5071]

Me toooooo 😂

[@mrzo4332]

I experienced the mildew towel smell once before.... I learned that PROPERLY drying your locs is imperative.... Oil and water dont mix... So mixing oil in WATER is what i used to do... I use the ACV... In a spray bottle mixed with water... and spray my locs before i shampoo... I do it once a month... And acv makes my locs softer and bouncy... Your locs are BEAUTIFUL.... Thanks for sharing

[@thelifeuchoose]

👍🏾

[@SammyDaGawd]

I do the spray bottle thing too sometimes when I don’t feel like doing a whole rinse. Also adding it to the shampoo is a great combo👌🏽

[@Goldencolorful504locs]

I’m going through it now thanks

[@djj8078]

Lowkey get distracted by your glowing skin. Had to rewind a few times so I didn't miss out on any knowledge lol Another great vid! Still A Beautiful Black Kween 🖤✨

[@SammyDaGawd]

Shouts to you running it back! I appreciate the vibes🙏🏽

[@fatimamanneh9432]

The body detox is important I drink hot/warm water with lemon juice at least 3 times a week you can also add ginger root

[@SammyDaGawd]

Yes! Internal and external detoxing is so necessary✨

[@bleuhefner9394]

You put me on to lemon grass & lavender for my locs , I get so many compliments at work thank u ❤️ .. I was watching these videos when I only had a fro & it stuck with me I appreciate u girl

I felt you when you said “it smelled like scalp.”

[@NaturallyMissMeka]

Love your videos. Even though I don't hear a heavy J'can accent, I hear them J'can/Patois words... you go girl.

[@easeandgrace]

"Ima kill it down! I'm killing down the odor and the insects who wanna hang around and hover around my crown," took me out loool. You are so funny. Really enjoyed this video. Thank you for all the tips. I am 6 weeks in and hanging in there. Your locs are beautiful.

[@indigenoustruthx4828]

You gave me that teacher vibe. I'm actually working on the same thing. Thing is my social anxiety is a big challenge, and then the plandemic going on. But I'll get it and locs on the way!!!

[@SammyDaGawd]

Aww man social anxiety really gets in the way sometimes. Personally I found that strengthening my connection to spirit, being clear about who I am, and speaking to others as if I’m speaking to myself shifts the energy. I hope that helps on some level🧚🏽‍♀️

[@indigenoustruthx4828]

@@SammyDaGawd I'm learning more about myself everyday, and I definitely agree with that. A lot comes from self love too.

[@SammyDaGawd]

Thank you my dear I appreciate the vibes✨

[@dannie1577]

Hi I’m locing my hair soon and I came across your channel and I love your content as I researched. Any tips for a good shampoo for locs and do you recommend conditioning locs after shampoo as well. Love your hair and I look forward to joining this loc community❤️❤️

[@SammyDaGawd]

Welcome to the journey! I’ve been using Dr. Bronners as “shampoo”, def no conditioner🙅🏽‍♀️ It just gets stuck in your Locs causing build up. Also, in the early phases can detangle your starters. Take care of your roots and you’re good👌🏽

[@mantoiniojones8840]

Pretty girls 🦋and their hand gestures when they get their nails done 😭😂... I find it so funny but beautiful

[@CieLocd]

I learned alot with your video , thank you for this

[@SammyDaGawd]

Yay! Glad it helped✨

[@guerrillapi]

Yes so true there SammyDaGawd! Break it down cause it's not just sweating and showering and not drying! Great video.

[@SammyDaGawd]

Exactly, thank you!

[@galaxqueen5503]

tysm cause i really needed this.

[@sandragreenthumb12]

Thank you for those tips on it, also your hair looks very well maintained, how long does your retwist last ?

[@Kiki-jx6by]

I have not experienced loc odor as of yet. I keep mine covered for the most part.

[@SammyDaGawd]

Nobody has time for loc odor🙅🏽‍♀️

[@jadinephillips9317]

✨ love ur hair

[@SammyDaGawd]

🙏🏽✨

[@angellopes4047]

How long do you detox your locs for? And when you use the basin do you mainly soak/detox the length of your hair or also your scalp as well?

[@nia_symonne8078]

More please!!!🙌🏽💕

[@Mdee17]

Great video! Very helpful and informative tips

[@mirz4927]

Thanks for the vid queen🕺🏾

[@tawanawhite9512]

Thank you. Very informative video. I started my Loc journey 9/25/20 🤞🏾✨💜I’m so excited about the process. So it’s best to mix some essential oils all together in a applicator? Any tips for starter Loc’rs?

[@SammyDaGawd]

Yes definitely mix them in an applicator. Best tip I can give is to embrace the quirkiness of each phase. Each loc has its own “personality” so get to know them and you’ll fall in love✨

[@tawanawhite9512]

Thank you 🙂😊✨✨

[@BamBam-pc7sf]

🌃🌃 thanks for the info 👍

[@mariahcanty]

I just started my locs last week on 1/17. i already struggle with dry itchy scalp & have patches throughout my hair.. so i got distilled water, rose water & glycerin spray + sweet almond oil and mixed it together in a spray bottle. i am hoping this helps because my scalp be on FIRE! lol

[@fatimamanneh9432]

Thankfully I haven’t had any problems with smells maybe because I shampoo my locs regularly

[@SammyDaGawd]

💯facts, once u figure out the best wash schedule it’s lit

[@fatimamanneh9432]

SammyDaGawd for sure

[@youngladylay]

How often do you shampoo and what do you use

[@fatimamanneh9432]

Le-Anne Kerr I shampoo & condition my locs every 2 weeks in the winter & every week in summer I use alaffia everyday shea lavender scent shampoo I also deep condition with eden body works

[@myopinion54]

I solved my stinky Loc problem with undiluted BLEACH!!…and shampoo on wet hair! I killed ALL the smelly bacteria in my hair👊🏽I washed for about 20 minutes and let everything soak. I literally washed my locs like I wash a smelly towel. Then I conditioned for 20 minutes to get them super soft. Then I dried using a hair dryer and added my oils to scalp and whole length of my bra length locs. My Locs are now fresh and airy and have a pleasant smell when I use my lemongrass oil. I know it sounds crazy but it worked!

[@reejay2098]

Yeah because bleach can weaken your hair but, not worse than if you color it I guess...vinegar and baking soda should do it.

[@Pjweakly]

THANK YOU! i was so worried about my locs smelling but to be honest i have micro locs so the the same things apply?

[@SammyDaGawd]

Hmm🤔 I don’t have experience with microlocs but I’d imagine it’s not the same since they’re smaller and don’t trap as much in. Maybe only the sweat and scalp smell issue if anything🤷🏽‍♀️

[@leiannab8986]

Beautiful loc's. Where do you get your oils?

[@SammyDaGawd]

Currently using Royal Keepers Oils

[@fadesmademedoitjayfranchis3744]

Those nails are the truth and fire video

[@flower-butter3920]

Lmao the hand motions lol

[@traceyangel.]

Would u advice spraying starter locs with water everyday

[@swipeswiping8061]

I do

[@backtalker4698]

Loc advise. Invest in a micro fiber towel. Thank me later.

[@passionatelocs]

Or a tshirt

[@backtalker4698]

@@passionatelocs not as absorbent than a micro fiber towel. A t-shirt works for those locs that have no problem with locs drying.... but for those locs that hold a lot of water...mocro fiber towel.

[@SammyDaGawd]

I’ll have to look into that🧐

[@sandragreenthumb12]

Also new subscriber 😊

[@seoeomii]

Pretty nails pretty necklace pretty locks pretty face pretty cats i mean shall i even go on

[@NatasciaE]

The best way to combat loc odors is to dry the hair immediately after washes ... I had Locs many years ago before my current Locs I have today and I learned from my past Locs .... check our my KZbin and you can see how I dry mine ..: super easy and effective..: you are gorgeous... I teach middle school ... I’m thinking about coming down to elementary ...
