I agree with you African hair loves moisture, especially water. When I use oil, I use hemp oil. My hair loves it. But water is far more vital, and more often used.I am surprised that you think that natural hair wearer aren't aware of the necessity.

@SheilaDang52 You will be surprised....how many people are asking how to maintain their natural hair on you yube....That's why I made the video....some don't know

mineral oil is a big no-no for hair. it tends to clog pores. not all oils r made equally. research this.

[LocsOfGlory]

@RootsRunDeeep I have.....but the key is lightly....and the company put it in there products not me....that's why I say you can choose which ingredients works best for your hair

Hi there... I just watched another video of yours and you were showing that you are starting locs from kinky twists... are these the same twist extensions? In that vid you said you were going to use palm rolling and Jamaica Mango and Lime creme wax... are you still using that or did you decide to switch to palm rolling?

[LocsOfGlory]

@qochemist I never did the palm rolling with...I did for a few times...and it would make my scalp itch...I'm starting fresh again...so I will show what I did later

@wbrutus22 Yeah...it's funny I watch these videos for help....they don't seem to realize that you are suppose to do the same thing you did before.....and some say straight out that you are not suppose to oil your locs or don't wash often...and they wonder why their hair stinks or has a lot of build up....

@moogle301 You need to oil your scalp, because your scalp is skin. It needs to be kept moisturised to keep it supple and will grow healthy hair. Can you imagine not oiling your skin or creaming your lips? Why would your scalp require any less treatment than the rest of the skin on your body?

@Sentiobonus, a question you posed to Locsofglory found it's way into my e-mail. You may want to try contacting Locsofglory again

@LocsOfGlory

I have a question... I'm a 14 year old white rasta in Belgium, so I don't have 'African' hair. But I still want natural dreadlocks, no wax or chemicals. And I can't get oils either, because my dad is rascistic and anti-rasta and doesn't want me to have natties.

I don't cut or comb my hair, but neither do I wash it because of the shampoo's that destroy my hair. Would just washing it with water mean a progress for my hair or undo them? And should I use hot or cold water?

Jah bless

@LocsOfGlory Hair care isn't that complicated. In fact, it's a simple process.

22yrs locing, I wash/condition weekly, unless I have the flu. Twist new growth once a month & keep hair/scalp happy with oil spray from the beauty supply store. Period. :-) Olive spray... I use now and then.

If locer's would follow that regimen, they wouldn't need...ACV, BAKING SODA, ETC. ETC. to remove dirt or odor from their head. Unfortunately, many who post on you tube re: locs have no clue.

I know you've cut your hair, but how many years of growth is this? I have a low caesar cut right now, but I'm already wanting my hair to look like yours. Also, how do you get the wavy locs like that?

You have a very pretty face btw.

Good video. If you read hair boards and blogs, etc., it doesn't get said enough that locks are just hair. In fact a lot of people don't seem to know this. I agree that anything you used to shampoo, condition or moisturize your hair before it was in locks, is just as good for hair when it's in locks. The only thing to watch for is you don't want heavy products coz they won't wash out and then you'll be stuck with buildup that doesn't look good.

Cucka buds? What are those? Also why do you need to oil your scalp?
