I tie my s*** down with a scarf then put a bonnet on top

i got a tiny wave cap that works for now, but imma look into a bonnet as well. i just hate how it looks LMAO. ill spend extra money to find one that looks good

I feel it lmao that's just that toxic masculinity tho, I'd rather my s*** stayed laid at this point lol

i like this one

does anyone have like a full care routine for dreadlocks

I hate feeling really good about them one day and then dusty the next

gonna get a tea tree mist spray to fluff it up the morning.

i used to drop jojoba oil on my scalp but it doesnt cover my locs as much as i want

so just mists/sprays huh

I'm working with a castor oil mist right now, it seems really good when i apply directly to roots but doesnt do what Im looking for when applied to the whole head.

I miss leave in conditioners and cowashes and s*** lmao

Anyone got a full hair routine (products you use daily/weekly) that help me grow a fro?

I've been trying for years and I can never really grow a fro after like 5 months. It just plateaus

copped a bonnet

man f*** waves

@nickyxnyc i keep gettin itchy bumps on my head after going to the barbershop. Is it a hygiene issue on their part? Idk if they clean clippers after haircuts even though they put alcohol on my head n s***

might see a dermatologist but this s*** is terrible

got permanent ingrown hair in the back of my head cuz of my barber. be careful

how do you deal with it?

i grew hightop dreads over it, its totally covered up now. was an insecurity of mine

Hi everyone. Any advice on a new hairstyle? I had 180 waves for a year and a half and I want to switch it up. I have a oval face shape, broad forehead, with type 4 hair. I currently have been growing out my hair for the past 3 months so it’s medium length.

Get you some cornrows this summer.

Yeah so I’m dying my hair again but wanted to dry instead of combing the bleach in my hair just use a sponge brush instead to just get the tips and not the roots?

can someone tell me how this curly-fro type hair style is pulled off? I'm thinking all he did was undid his braids? Ik now he has 4c hair.

from

to

I got 4c hair too - also what does that day to day hair routine look like?

last time I tried to grow my hair out, it was lookin like this & dented easily if I laid down smh

retroactively creating a middle part in my dreads so it doesnt cover my eyes anymore

For locs what shampoo do y’all use? When I had locs in the past I used Neutrogena Anti-Residue shampoo and it was amazing. Unfortunately they discontinued it recently now that I’m getting my locs back I need a good shampoo.

yeah that’s just a nice twist out

the thing with that especially if you got 4c hair is it’s not gone be permanent, it’s things you can do to extend it like tying your hair up and keeping it covered. But after the first wash you probably gone have to do the braids again to get the same effect.

the longer your hair gets though it starts to matter less

slight expensive but it’s real good

ahh I see. would you happen to have any idea on general maintenance with braids? especially for 4c hair? there seems to be millions of differing opinions online

well especially since you don’t seem like you want to keep them in long, braids pretty easy to maintain. all you really gotta worry about is build up, so don’t use a lot of heavy creams or moisturizer's with residue.

you can really get away with just water and some tea oil honestly. wash em with your regular routine and just take them out when you ready.

Good look
