From experience and from what I have heard from others, washing hair ever two (to three) weeks is best. Some of the things you can do to cut down on the smell, is to dab your roots with witch hazel, which will clean your roots. And you can use yummy smelling oils, like lavender, peppermint and more (look for oils made for natural hair or made for loc's.) Please try this first or research more on the internet before resorting to washing your hair once a week. I think washing your hair once a week may dry your hair out, which will be damaging to the health of your loc's.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358587477853108371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021038164876668328.post-31228071016624211852010-09-06T07:34:17.752-07:002010-09-06T07:34:17.752-07:00I have had my locs sense 2008, and what I found ou...I have had my locs sense 2008, and what I found out just recently is that when I sweat, which is a lot my locs smell afterwards, is has been extremely warm 95-100 degrees here in the midwest.Should I go ahead and re shampoo my locs each week.

A lot of times people start to embrace and appreciate that phase of their hair locing - because it's like your hair is getting use to the process of doing something different. It will not always be like that. Once you hair starts to mature (anywhere from a 2 to 3 years, if not sooner) you will notice a more uniform look. Try not to worry about it to much. I had to get past that desire for my hair to look perfect at all times. Now I try to appreciate it one however it looks at any given time. Best of luck.

Oh and maybe I should mention, I don't retwist my locs I use the latch hook method to tighten them.<br /><br />Thanks for any advice you can give. ;-)Naturally57https://www.blogger.com/profile/05053613043040427398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021038164876668328.post-71290908685666192472009-06-26T20:29:06.619-07:002009-06-26T20:29:06.619-07:00That would be wonderful Sherine!

And if you want to send pics of your transition from fro to loc's, I could share your stages from start to 'finish' it with the readers. Good luck with the whole journey. I hope that you will love evey part of it. And thank you for the wonderful compliment!

After years of trying to prep my parents for the idea (traditional Jamaicans who aren't fond of the style), starting and crochet loc'ing many of my friends' dreadlocks, and researching and admiring and getting all giddy inside at the thought of having beautiful, elegant, regal, empowering locks of my own, I'm finally starting my journey (I'm 20). I'm so excited! I've decided to start and maintain them myself (I'm a college student, so I definitely need to save money). I came across your blog through my research, and you have THE healthiest and most gorgeous dreadlocks I have seen to date. God bless you! This blog is great and has soooo much beneficial information. I'd love to keep in touch with you as I start and maintain the process :)Sherinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3021038164876668328.post-88299836200533716162009-06-25T11:09:57.419-07:002009-06-25T11:09:57.419-07:00Hi Sherine,

I have heard good things about them so far. Usually I will just let me locs air dry. But that isn't always convenient. Thank you for reminding me that there are other options out there.

How do you dry your locks after each wash? I use a micro fiber towel because it's quick to soak up the water from your locks and it doesn't shed or cause lint.zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10154988325918184016noreply@blogger.com
