Dezi---> I have a friend who has been loc'ing her hair for several years and she washes every other month. Do what works for you! I HAVE to wash pretty frequently because of dandruff. :(

Hi.. I love your blog. I started my locs in October and i love it. My husband grand mother started them for me. Mostly all of his family has locs and have been started and maintained by her. So it shocked me a little when I read your blog and saw other comments about washing your locs once a week or maybe every other. My hubbys fam and me included don't wash as frequently. I think my longest has been 2months before I washed them. Now I wash and twist one month then the next month I just do a retwist. I've found my hair grows more quickly. I this odd to anyone? Are there other who don't wash frequently?

I just have twists but you guys wash with shampoo?...

I just have twists but you guys wash with shampoo? And wash that often? I'm once a week or every 2 weeks, just using the ACV and conditioner for now.

I wash my locs every 2-3 weeks. It also takes me way to long to retwist, and for them to dry, to do it any more often. BUT, ive been trying some new products lately (Oyin handmade, Mango and Lime, etc) and am so excited that I'm gonna start trying to wash weekly :)

How does that VO5 conditioner work to soften your locs? Ive been looking for a good deep conditioner for locs and havent been able to find one that a lot of people swear by...

I've had locs for 6 months, and I wash every 2 weeks or so. Glad to say they're falling apart less and staying down more :-) Your blog (and a few others) inspired me to document my loc journey as well. Stop by and comment if you have a chance!

Wow! I'm off, judging from these comments. I've been locked for 1 1/2 yrs now and I was my hair every 2-3 wks, but that's what I used to do before locks. I would love to wash more, but it takes ENTIRELY too long to retwist my roots. This is one of the reasons I've been considering latching, but that was too complicated for me when I tried.

I wash my hair every week and I love it. It feels so good, I can't wait till my ends seal so I can go back to my daily condition washes in addition to my weekly full washes like when I was natural.

I shampoo my locs once a week and rinse once during that same week. My hair loves the water. Also if you're having trouble with dandruff, check out Neem oil and I think Sage might help.

Girl I have to wash minimum every 4 days. My scalp has thanked me for it as well. I did a blog post and vblog about this about 3 weeks ago.
