    Default I'm a newbie

    Hi everyone,
    I have have been loced for 6 months following a 6 month transition from permed to natural hair. It's interesting doing all the research into grooming and maintaining locs.

    Welcome to NP,
    From what I have read the key moisture and clarifying!!!

    Right. Initially washed monthly but switched to once in two weeks. Is that ok?

    Welcome to Nappturality Bolanle,

    Yes that is fine, just keep an eye on things. Different people can wash their hair at different intervals and also depends on the age of your locs and how they are maturing. If you sense something funky going on, then change the frequency of washings.

    The Loc Board has a lot of info on washing locs. Check it out.

    Welcome!

    I've never had locs but you're in good company as many here have had them, so you've got some experienced people to bounce questions off of as you do research.
