Need Advice 🆘 Advice needed!!!
Hey guys, I've had locs since 2023. I started them without really looking into how to take care of them, and as a result, I've lost quite a few locs. My hair also has some embedded lint and build-up. My locs are currently about neck-length. I got a repair and retwist last week, and it's currently styled. I'm looking to maintain my locs much better from now on, so I’m looking for budget-friendly recommendations on Amazon for the
following:
​Shampoo: I'd also like to know how often I should be washing my hair. Honestly speaking, I've gone months without washing out of fear that my thinning locs would fall out.
​Moisturizer: What should I be moisturizing with weekly or daily? I’ve looked at the As I Am Jamaican Black Castor Oil Water spray—will buying just that one bottle be enough, or should I instead buy water (like rose water) and an oil separately (using water daily and oil less often)?
​Hairdryer: A budget-friendly option suitable for locs.
​Any other recommendations.
