Hi there I am a 16 year old girl I got sisterlocks my hair was fourteen inches long I went a year natural I got my hair locked a month ago and she had to cut my ends cause it was straight n stuff so I'm goin to this new school mi dreads r short I'm kinda nervous n scared of goin I wondering how they goin to look at me or think of me or they goin talk bout me n I been wanting locs for almost a eight years btw I'm the only girl with dreads in this town I moved here from Illinois I just need suport
@shantelltaylorful You really shouldn't care what other people think about your hair. If they have something stupid to say about it they're just immature so ignore it. I'm sure you look great with your locks.
@shantelltaylorful Haa..? My boyfriend doesn't appreciate me getting locs, so I got them just to annoy the hell out of him. But honestly, don't care what people may think of you. I have a ballet exam coming up, and they tend to be strict about the 'bunhead' you're supposed to wear, I'm doing it anyway because its my hair - not gonna be influenced :P
your hair looks lovely and bouncy, but what does your hair feel like. please let me know as i want to do my hair in sisterlocs too but just concerned on how the hair will feel. Tars much
hello eluvg, it's been a while since we 'talked' via this medium but i'm please to connect with you again. i have a problem i hope you can help me with...on some of my sl's near the my neck i have some unsightly white 'stuff' on them...how may i remove them ? i suspect they are either soap scum or stuff from pillow of bedding. i REALLY DONT LIKE THEM...what can i use to remove them ?
My hair is very short in certain spots in the back of my head.....do you think hair that is less than 1 inch long long can be braided and grow from that point? Or should I just get the hair braided that is long enough and as the hair grows out around it, it can be braided at a later date?
Is it natural for a sisterlock to swell up as big as a regular lock on the ends? My hair started to lock in the back first and the ends has swollen kind of bigger than a sisterlock would.
hi. i have tried to have the sisterlock put in but i am unable to find a certified consultant. i am in new york can you recommend one. please respond. thanks
Love Love this video, it was very helpful. I begin my SL journey March 6th and I am sooo nervous! I'm still nervous but your video definitely helped:) Please do more!
I loove these "micro" locks. As far as washing them, are they hard to maintain? I plan to go to get them retightened frequently. Ive never heard of micro sisterlocks, but your hair is much more of the "look" I am going for. thanks!
@1garrison1845 I have to do mines about 1 a month. I know that others don't retightened theres but every 6 weeks. Washing is easy to me. I wish you luck with your locks
Hey Eluvg, I was wondering if the retightening class shows you something different than the interlocking technique. I've had my sisterlock a little over a month and after my first retightening the lady that does my hair told me it would be 135 dollars next time to tighten my locks. So i'm thinking about retightening them myself.
@PrettyBoiBrooks sorry it me so long to answer. I'm not sure abotu the interlocking technique. The cost is the reason why I took the class. I have saved so much with doing my own locs
What is the difference between Sisterlocks, interlocks and braided-locks? And my other question is how small should Sisterlocks be because I think I have Sisterlocks but I'm afraid I may have been ripped off?
@Nappz2009 Sorry it took so long to answer. Im not sure there is much difference. If you think your locs are too large, you should find another loctician that does Sister locs and get them to look at them. I have a friend who had the same feeling she just took hers out last year and got them put back in smaller. I wish you luck
Your hair is so beautiful and long. I want to get sisterlocs, but there is this section that is growing so slow--its' not even one inch yet..., but the rest of my hair is long enough to start the locking process. I don't ever want to relax my hair again...maybe the relaxer is the reason why that spot is growing so slow.
@eluvg1975 Yes, but little by little. What I did was went to the hair shop and had some coils put in...even though those spots aren't as long as the hair on the side and in the front, the hair has still grown.I just want to start the locking process because, I am tried of wearing wigs........
Hello, Yur locs Look Wonderful, Absolutely!!!! How long havee you has your loc s? and for a 18 yr old in college that does hair and loves to to change her hair, is this a Good Idea to get?
@PunkinLPN yes they snap....I have lost a few.....I just lost one in the shower last week....I have so many locs, that the missing loc gos unnoticed....let me know if you have any other questions
First let me start by saying I think your locs look beautiful. I myself have been on the fence for a couple of years regarding traditional versus sister locs. I wanted to know if you could do it all over again would you still do the sisters or go traditional and why.
@theskyizfallin sorry it took so long to answer....I thought I did. If I could do it again I would do the same (SL).....The only reason is due to the fact that I know how I look with SL (big hair) and I think I would have very Big hair with traditional locs.....I have looked at a few people with tradional and love the look, just dont think it would work for my head....I hope I answered you fully...let me know if you have any othe questions.
I am getting sisterlocks on sunday. My test locks are so tiny. Will I regret it being so small? Which is nicker looking in the long run...big or small? You briefly covered it but I would like a thorough answer
Hi, your sisterlocks are lovely.I had mine done in Nov. 2009 and really don't like them.I think they're big and not very neatly done.I'v complained to my consultant severally but she doesn't seem to get it. I'm thinking of taking them down & having them redone by someone else. I live in the UK and there are only like 2 sisterlock consultants here.I'm visiting the US this year & I'll like to have it redone on my visit. Could you recommend your loctitian to me please.You could email me.thank you
@trbeckett...I would talk to a sisterlock consultant in your area and see if you have to grow our your texturizer some before starting your locks....I understand about about not being in love with you current hair...I have had those feeling many time....a few times since I have been locked...I wish you all the luck...you have to tell me what you decide
Hello. I really love your sisterlocs. My best friend has them and she loves them. She's had them for @ 8 or 9 yrs now. I am thinking hard about getting the sisterlocs too, but I just put a texturizer in my hair. Should I wait a while before getting them? I like the texturizer but that's just it. I want to be happy with my hair, not just like it.
this is not very helpful im looking for someone who documented their process and who showed how it was done and if it has to be redone or if u just leave it to grow
I understand that this may have not been helpful to you but it has been very helpful to others....I talked about someone who has a timeline just not in video...with photos
buds are when the ends of your hair nots up.....curly qs are b4 the hair buds....they are little curly ends...let me know if you have any other questions
I love your hair, how to you get it to curl like that, how long does it take, sorry I'm in a hurry, you probably mentioned it in you vid. And how long did it take to grow that long???
I curl them with lock loops or sponge rollers....my hair is thick so I sleep in them about 12 hours.....I have been loc for five yrs it would have been longer but the lost a lot of hair after a bad dye job...let me know if you have any other questions....
Hi, i dont want to sound wierd but you didnt reply so i thought i would ask again about who installed your sisterlocks if you dont mind me asking. I have seen a few consultants but dint really like the ones they had done and i thought yours looked like what i will like to have. Also did you ever loose a lock??..Thanks
Ooo that's like a million bucks to me so what i've done is braided my hair in really small braids and i'll see what becomes of it is there anything i should be aware of with such small braids converting to locks? and do you a have any problems with your hair tangling being that the locks are so small? Thank you for responding
Thats the way to go. When you wash your hair make sure you pull the braids apart so they dont join together. You can learn to interlock them there are many Youtubers that has done this. They look just like SL to me..make sure you dont wash your hair with shampoo that has conditioner in it so your braid/locks dont slip out...the only problem I had with the size is them breaking off.I wish you luck and please keep me posted
Hi Ebony,,,im loving your hair to bits they look amazing....I would like to know who/where you did yours. i would like to get them done too ....Thanks a mill....
Mines cost me $500 to get....the reason is due to my size, and the fact that I have alot of hair. you can get them larger and your cost may not be as much as mine. I would contact a consultant so they can look at your hair and give you a better answer. let me know if you have any other questions.
hi eluvg1975, glad to see you again.your hair is looking great !
i have found new ways in which to style my hair which means i can change to a different style on a daily basis...it's great !
i love my hair but i dont think i will allow it to grow pass my shoulders since i dont think my hair will hold a style well once it grows to midback because of my hair type.what do you think about that theory ?
I don't want my locs to grow that long, however I'm not sure about the theory. I know that my locs that are bigger dont hold a curl as good as my smaller locs. How long are your locs now?
i believe they are about 6-7 inches now .also, i havnt started to curl mine as yet because i dont think it's long enough.additionally, i no longer have the itchy scalp problem because, i use an organic shampoo along with my sistaloc starter shampoo and a non-alcoholic moisturizing hair spray. they work very well.
(by the way,the organic shampoo is an expensive product here my country).have a wonderful day.talk later.bye.
Your hair is very beautiful as well as you!!! I just don't have the courage for sisterlocs yet, I think I may start with locs however slightly larger than sisterlocs! Stay Blessed!
Do you want you locs bigger than brother locs? I understand with smaller locks it take longer to tighten, is this the reason you dont want them small....Thank you for the compliment 8~}
Hey I have a question I have been wanting sisterlocks for a while now .. by the way I really like yours .. But here is my problem I am in college and I want to know how much is it going to cost to me to start and to keep it up .. and if you think that it is a good idea to get them while I am in school or should I wait till I gradaute... If you could answer that for me .. that would be great .. thanks
Mines cost $500 to start and then about $100 a mnth.....The cost was high for mines because of the size....I would go on the site under Official trainee registry and call a consultant in your area. there price may be in your budget. The price maybe a little less expensive then getting a certified consultant (the only difference is certified has took the extra step. All the consultant took the same training class) after getting the locks you can also take a retighening class and do your own hair
the re-tightening class cost $250 and then you can do your own hair for the life of your locs....I didnt take the retightening class I took the full training class. I saved money in the end by doing my own hair....I hope this help...if you have any other questions.
I feel the same way you do about not wanting sisterlocks and then loving every minute of it. I have micro locks-i have some split and some combined. My loctician decided the size and we had to re-do them after a year because she made them too small in the beginning. I love my hair and I get compliments all the time. Thanks for the video and continue with the information.
Today is a day that I'm loving them....the fact that I dont have the same hair as everyone else makes me smile....when you say re-do, your talking about taking them all down and doing again or joining some of them together? I would hate to take mines down and do again
We just married some of them together to make them loc. Although my hair is thick, it is tightly wavy and not curly. As my hair grows longer, the wave extends and my hair becomes straight. So the back with the thicker locs was fine, but the crown and top was not staying loced. They would come down and so after a year of it, we decided to make them slightly bigger in those areas. So some were married and others were already coming apart, so she made them into one bigger one.
I had that issue...it was in the crown of my head. I love my locs in the back...Dont know if they are bigger or if they they just feel like it.....I think she did them bigger, they never hold a curl as good as the front. Glad that your hair is doing better now.
Right now they are doing well and it takes her less time to retighten than it did before. I am thinking of taking the retightening class to do my own locs.
So when you get the sisterlocs at first, how much shorter does it make your hair, like if my hair is about 12 inches with appear to look 6, sorry I didn't know how to word this question.
I understand your questions.....I wish I would have measured them but I dont think it looked much smaller.....my hair when I stretched it out it was almost to my shoulder(could have been longer if it was permed or pressed out)....after locks it was a little pass my ear.... so maybe 3 inches.....I hope this helps
Your hair is beautiful! I am natural and wear twists mainly now and I have never been interested in locing. However I love the size and look of yours, have never seen them that small.
gr8 vid ur locs r beautiful i didnt go to a salon to do my locs or nuttin i hav fam members that hav loc but they didnt wanted to do it so i did it my self nd i dnt kno if i did it ryt i kno for sure there not goin to be the same size or even im so confuse nd the partin dnt even get me started lol ANY TIPS :) plz reply
Have they already started to loc? you can always split the locs that are to big and join the locs that are to small. If the parts are not what you can live with I would take it down. I am not so big on parts because I never where twist or anything that would show my parts. hope this help any more questions let me know
Thanks for the information. My Sisterlocks will be 5 years old in November. Your locks are beautiful, I wear my locks similiar to yours. Have a great hair day.
I have been SL'd 6years in January and I also tear off the buds on my locs. Glad I'm not the only one. I haven't tried to stop though, so your doing better than me. Enjoyed the video :0)
I don't really see guys with brotherlocks. I will be getting some within the upcoming weeks and I too have a style issue... I am constantly changing my hair as well. I have very very kinky hair and I would like them small like yours as well. Is there a major price difference from getting them small to getting them micro or medium?
Im glad i found you. my mom decided to get sister locs and she is very unhappy with the results. Hers look nothing like urs but her hair is also shorter. The lady who does her hair told her they will look better the longer they get and as they mature over time. Is that true? do they really change much over time or is she taking my moms money? she has had them for about 4 or 5 mos
I must say that my locks have change over the years. They didnt look like locks for a long time and now they are looking more and more like locs. Tell your mom to go to some other locticians in her area and see what they say. I would try 3 different people, my bestfriend had sister locks and hers didnt look like mines. I have a lot of hair on my head so it gives a different look.
My braids didnt look like others who had the same style nor did my wrap when I had permed hair. I would hate to have locks for 4 mnths and be unhappy so I hope your mom finds peace. Please let me know if your mom finds a new loctician and what the outcome is.
thaks so much, very helpful - my hair is thin so i dont know if i can do sisterlocks tho i really want that type of lock - what are your thoughts please?
Thanks for posting. Your hair looks awesome! My sisterlocks are a bit thicker but my hair texture isn't very course. I'm so glad to know that other people have problem areas too. My problem area is at the pupils of my hairline.
I was looking at my hairline and it has grown so much over the years. I never thought I had a problem there, however now that I look at how much shorter it is then the other areas I may have had some issues....Good luck with your problem area
I am feeling you on feeling like you want a change. I want a cut into a style. I am growing tired of just ponytails. The one person I know who has cut her sisterlocks has complained of some unravelling. Your thoughts?
I was told when I took the class that some people hair takes two years for the ends to bud back up after cutting. I dont want to cut the longer side because of the unravelling....if you look on my washing my sisterlocks you will see how short one side it...I hate it, I just dont want to even it out
Your hair is so pretty, I am hoping to be locked by my birthday, unfortunly I live in Austin, TX and looking for a Sisterlock loctiation, Do you reccomend the peopole in training or should I just stick with the certified ones? (If I can find one)
my loctiation was certified, however if I could have found a person that was in training and had some photos of there work I would have used them. In order to be certified you have to do 3 heads and send the photos in.....You may get a great discount if you use in training and they are useing you as a model.....ask to talk to someone who locks they have installed....
Thanks for the info, I found one here in Austin, he has 43 clients, he said he sent in his paperwork work for them to certify him but he is waiting. I am waiting to see pics but he is here in my home town so that is a plus and he has a good amount of clients another plus. But thats for your reply
Also if you are able to travel, to other states(family or friends you can stay with) check out some loctiation in other states. There are many loctiation that will travel. The cost will be more for them to travel to you....I wish you luck and let me know what you decide....
Your locks are BEAUTIFUL. I as well have micro...I've had my locks for 9 months. What products do you use to make yours look so shiny, healthy, and not bushy? Please help.
Thank you for the compliment, however I only use the oils from my own head.. When first lock I used a little setting lotion and washed every five days.Now I wash when I think it is needed.I dont use many products at all.I wash with apple cider vinagar and water mix & a little Mane 'N Tail shampoo.... I was told that I didnt have frizzies and puffly locs because I styled so offen. Do you free style or add curl....I am going to do the avacodo treatment in a few days and post a video...
I said the same things a few years ago. When I look back on some of my old photos I want the short look again. There was so many cute looks that I just love that I cant do now. However I am scared that if I cut them I will be upset. My hair is longer on one side and I am scared to even it out lol....I have a vid coming soon about why that side is so short.
I really love your locs. i have locs also(medium) they are latched. I also want to comb my hair at times but remember why i got locs in the first place. i been loced for over one year with this set . my first set i had for 10 years
O and thank you for the lockitup info, I could not find this site anywhere. I was looking for alllockedup and lockedup and I came up with so strange stuff lol.
Thank you for this video!

@trbeckett...I would talk to a sisterlock consultant in your area and see if you have to grow our your texturizer some before starting your locks....I understand about about not being in love with you current hair...I have had those feeling many time....a few times since I have been locked...I wish you all the luck...you have to tell me what you decide
eluvg1975 1 year ago
Hello. I really love your sisterlocs. My best friend has them and she loves them. She's had them for @ 8 or 9 yrs now. I am thinking hard about getting the sisterlocs too, but I just put a texturizer in my hair. Should I wait a while before getting them? I like the texturizer but that's just it. I want to be happy with my hair, not just like it.

this is not very helpful im looking for someone who documented their process and who showed how it was done and if it has to be redone or if u just leave it to grow

Can you use a curling iron on dreads?
ShizukaRose 1 year ago
I had a friend who used curling irons and the heat made her curl pattern straight and her locs had to be re done....
eluvg1975 1 year ago
I love your hair, how to you get it to curl like that, how long does it take, sorry I'm in a hurry, you probably mentioned it in you vid. And how long did it take to grow that long???
ShizukaRose 1 year ago
I curl them with lock loops or sponge rollers....my hair is thick so I sleep in them about 12 hours.....I have been loc for five yrs it would have been longer but the lost a lot of hair after a bad dye job...let me know if you have any other questions....

eluvg1975 1 year ago
Hi, i dont want to sound wierd but you didnt reply so i thought i would ask again about who installed your sisterlocks if you dont mind me asking. I have seen a few consultants but dint really like the ones they had done and i thought yours looked like what i will like to have. Also did you ever loose a lock??..Thanks
MdMatrox 2 years ago
Ooo that's like a million bucks to me so what i've done is braided my hair in really small braids and i'll see what becomes of it is there anything i should be aware of with such small braids converting to locks? and do you a have any problems with your hair tangling being that the locks are so small? Thank you for responding
sistajme 2 years ago
Thats the way to go. When you wash your hair make sure you pull the braids apart so they dont join together. You can learn to interlock them there are many Youtubers that has done this. They look just like SL to me..make sure you dont wash your hair with shampoo that has conditioner in it so your braid/locks dont slip out...the only problem I had with the size is them breaking off.I wish you luck and please keep me posted
eluvg1975 2 years ago
Hi Ebony,,,im loving your hair to bits they look amazing....I would like to know who/where you did yours. i would like to get them done too ....Thanks a mill....

Hello are sister locks expensive to get???
sistajme 2 years ago
Sistajme
Mines cost me $500 to get....the reason is due to my size, and the fact that I have alot of hair. you can get them larger and your cost may not be as much as mine. I would contact a consultant so they can look at your hair and give you a better answer. let me know if you have any other questions.
eluvg1975 2 years ago
hi eluvg1975, glad to see you again.your hair is looking great !
i have found new ways in which to style my hair which means i can change to a different style on a daily basis...it's great !
i love my hair but i dont think i will allow it to grow pass my shoulders since i dont think my hair will hold a style well once it grows to midback because of my hair type.what do you think about that theory ?
anyway,blessings on you and yours.bye.
caramelqueen89 2 years ago
I don't want my locs to grow that long, however I'm not sure about the theory. I know that my locs that are bigger dont hold a curl as good as my smaller locs. How long are your locs now?
eluvg1975 2 years ago
i believe they are about 6-7 inches now .also, i havnt started to curl mine as yet because i dont think it's long enough.additionally, i no longer have the itchy scalp problem because, i use an organic shampoo along with my sistaloc starter shampoo and a non-alcoholic moisturizing hair spray. they work very well.
(by the way,the organic shampoo is an expensive product here my country).have a wonderful day.talk later.bye.

Hey I have a question I have been wanting sisterlocks for a while now .. by the way I really like yours .. But here is my problem I am in college and I want to know how much is it going to cost to me to start and to keep it up .. and if you think that it is a good idea to get them while I am in school or should I wait till I gradaute... If you could answer that for me .. that would be great .. thanks

Mines cost $500 to start and then about $100 a mnth.....The cost was high for mines because of the size....I would go on the site under Official trainee registry and call a consultant in your area. there price may be in your budget. The price maybe a little less expensive then getting a certified consultant (the only difference is certified has took the extra step. All the consultant took the same training class) after getting the locks you can also take a retighening class and do your own hair
eluvg1975 2 years ago
the re-tightening class cost $250 and then you can do your own hair for the life of your locs....I didnt take the retightening class I took the full training class. I saved money in the end by doing my own hair....I hope this help...if you have any other questions.
eluvg1975 2 years ago
I feel the same way you do about not wanting sisterlocks and then loving every minute of it. I have micro locks-i have some split and some combined. My loctician decided the size and we had to re-do them after a year because she made them too small in the beginning. I love my hair and I get compliments all the time. Thanks for the video and continue with the information.
SweetAmaretta 2 years ago
Today is a day that I'm loving them....the fact that I dont have the same hair as everyone else makes me smile....when you say re-do, your talking about taking them all down and doing again or joining some of them together? I would hate to take mines down and do again
eluvg1975 2 years ago
We just married some of them together to make them loc. Although my hair is thick, it is tightly wavy and not curly. As my hair grows longer, the wave extends and my hair becomes straight. So the back with the thicker locs was fine, but the crown and top was not staying loced. They would come down and so after a year of it, we decided to make them slightly bigger in those areas. So some were married and others were already coming apart, so she made them into one bigger one.
SweetAmaretta 2 years ago
I had that issue...it was in the crown of my head. I love my locs in the back...Dont know if they are bigger or if they they just feel like it.....I think she did them bigger, they never hold a curl as good as the front. Glad that your hair is doing better now.
eluvg1975 2 years ago
Right now they are doing well and it takes her less time to retighten than it did before. I am thinking of taking the retightening class to do my own locs.
SweetAmaretta 2 years ago
So when you get the sisterlocs at first, how much shorter does it make your hair, like if my hair is about 12 inches with appear to look 6, sorry I didn't know how to word this question.
ShizukaRose 2 years ago
I understand your questions.....I wish I would have measured them but I dont think it looked much smaller.....my hair when I stretched it out it was almost to my shoulder(could have been longer if it was permed or pressed out)....after locks it was a little pass my ear.... so maybe 3 inches.....I hope this helps

bustitwydeopen365 2 years ago
Have they already started to loc? you can always split the locs that are to big and join the locs that are to small. If the parts are not what you can live with I would take it down. I am not so big on parts because I never where twist or anything that would show my parts. hope this help any more questions let me know

I don't really see guys with brotherlocks. I will be getting some within the upcoming weeks and I too have a style issue... I am constantly changing my hair as well. I have very very kinky hair and I would like them small like yours as well. Is there a major price difference from getting them small to getting them micro or medium?
fashion2088 2 years ago
Im glad i found you. my mom decided to get sister locs and she is very unhappy with the results. Hers look nothing like urs but her hair is also shorter. The lady who does her hair told her they will look better the longer they get and as they mature over time. Is that true? do they really change much over time or is she taking my moms money? she has had them for about 4 or 5 mos
Naturallyhomegrown 2 years ago
I must say that my locks have change over the years. They didnt look like locks for a long time and now they are looking more and more like locs. Tell your mom to go to some other locticians in her area and see what they say. I would try 3 different people, my bestfriend had sister locks and hers didnt look like mines. I have a lot of hair on my head so it gives a different look.
eluvg1975 2 years ago
My braids didnt look like others who had the same style nor did my wrap when I had permed hair. I would hate to have locks for 4 mnths and be unhappy so I hope your mom finds peace. Please let me know if your mom finds a new loctician and what the outcome is.

I was looking at my hairline and it has grown so much over the years. I never thought I had a problem there, however now that I look at how much shorter it is then the other areas I may have had some issues....Good luck with your problem area

I am feeling you on feeling like you want a change. I want a cut into a style. I am growing tired of just ponytails. The one person I know who has cut her sisterlocks has complained of some unravelling. Your thoughts?
irisdaflower 2 years ago
I was told when I took the class that some people hair takes two years for the ends to bud back up after cutting. I dont want to cut the longer side because of the unravelling....if you look on my washing my sisterlocks you will see how short one side it...I hate it, I just dont want to even it out
eluvg1975 2 years ago
Your hair is so pretty, I am hoping to be locked by my birthday, unfortunly I live in Austin, TX and looking for a Sisterlock loctiation, Do you reccomend the peopole in training or should I just stick with the certified ones? (If I can find one)
tk512 2 years ago
my loctiation was certified, however if I could have found a person that was in training and had some photos of there work I would have used them. In order to be certified you have to do 3 heads and send the photos in.....You may get a great discount if you use in training and they are useing you as a model.....ask to talk to someone who locks they have installed....
eluvg1975 2 years ago
Thanks for the info, I found one here in Austin, he has 43 clients, he said he sent in his paperwork work for them to certify him but he is waiting. I am waiting to see pics but he is here in my home town so that is a plus and he has a good amount of clients another plus. But thats for your reply
tk512 2 years ago
OMG that is great....he has a lot of clients....Good luck with your lock and I know you will enjoy them
eluvg1975 2 years ago
Also if you are able to travel, to other states(family or friends you can stay with) check out some loctiation in other states. There are many loctiation that will travel. The cost will be more for them to travel to you....I wish you luck and let me know what you decide....

Thank you for the compliment, however I only use the oils from my own head.. When first lock I used a little setting lotion and washed every five days.Now I wash when I think it is needed.I dont use many products at all.I wash with apple cider vinagar and water mix & a little Mane 'N Tail shampoo.... I was told that I didnt have frizzies and puffly locs because I styled so offen. Do you free style or add curl....I am going to do the avacodo treatment in a few days and post a video...
