How often should you wash them in the beginning stages? I'm 2 months in and I washed them before i went to get retwisted last week and they were coming apart.

most salons tend to use a product that has wax as it's main component and i dont stop them from using it but black hair can lock without wax. water makes black hair lock there are loc creams that dont have wax in it that people use.Originally Posted by Put em up

It'll be 4.5 years since my last haircut next month. Like everyone else said, the first few months are the toughest. Patience is definitely a virtue early on. After that stage you will love it. I have the skinnier locks and I'm always getting compliments on them (although that may be because I keep them neat/clean). The only real complaint I have is that my head is too big for fitteds now
... I have started to get bored with it though. I'm graduating from college in December which coincides with my 5 year anniversary and I'm thinking about cutting it then but I'm sure I'll punk out.

snap, why am I JUST now seeing this thread ???
loc'd since Dec 07, started with an afro---still went through the dreaded #walestarterdreads phase though
Started with wax, but stopped a couple months in--because I heard about the build up and what not. It used to be really fuzzy, but honestly it just depends on who you get to maintain your hair, or how you maintain it. Palm rolling is the BEST way to start out, it prevents you from having thick "sloppy" looking locs. Now, if that's what you want---then forget what I said. Currently, my guy uses the loc cream and I have no complaints. I get my roots done once a month, wash it every two weeks, or I try to. I usually palm roll it but when my roots get real crazy looking he uses the latch tool (works wonders
) My roots look CRAZY fresh after a fresh latch job. I'm not really good with keeping it mousterized, but usually after I wash it I rub tea tree oil in it and let that set in with a shower cap. I love my hairdresser, been going to him for a year now and I don't ever wanna leave. He DOESN'T charge an arm and a leg like some other locticians and he listens to what I want and offers to do little things to keep my looking nice (even if I don't ask for it)
I don't have a problem with lent because I sleep with my hair tied. I also wear a headband around my edges (got some new babies coming in
) plus this prevents a "dent" in my head from my head-wrap.
The crinkle effect is bomb---if you want it, just braid it and wet it. I usually leave it in for a couple of days before I take it out..... makes your hair look nice and full.
LOVE my hair
and I know that's something coming from a black woman.
