Uhhh lets talk 🚿👇🏽
Point 1: Washing tightens matting (even though it loosens weaker tangles)
Point 2: Washing helps to naturally section locs
Point 3: Having clean, detoxed hair leads to healthy locs
Point 4: Your scalp health can make or break your loc journey and washing is essential to bacteria not building on your scalp
Point 5: Even though washing can undo the style (comb coils, 2-strand twists, etc.) it doesn’t undo the matting happening underneath the style!
Additional Point: If you’re a freeformer like AT (an FTR brother) then you should not be scared of washing at all! He has the loosest texture out of the 3 and his hair’s still locking 😤
Conclusion: As long as you have routine that’s built for locs (Dm us “starter loc guide” or “freeform starter guide” on Insta if you don’t), you should not feed into the can’t-wash misinformation out there #sorrybutnotsorry
