What I use to cleanse my locs 🌱

#lemon8diary #lemon8diarychallenge I’ve been on my #locjourney for a year and 8 months now, and I try to keep my routine as simple as possible. Here are a few of my personal tips, that have helped my hair grow and flourish:

1. I move my hair regularly (I flip it, tie it, pin it up, etc. movement increases blood flow to the scalp which = growth 🌱)

2. I retwist when I feel like it. (I’ve done it 2 weeks apart and even 4 months apart. Don’t do it to often tho, that causes breakage.)

3. I shampoo regularly (for me it has to be every 2 weeks bc I live in Louisiana and it’s summer lol)

4. I do what feels right for MY HAIR (Notice how all my tips start with “I”, that’s because these things work for ME! Try different things until you find what works for YOU and YOUR HAIR)

Everyone’s hair is different, so I encourage you to develop a relationship with your hair, get to know it, learn what it likes, what it doesn’t, etc.
