It's good to hear this, because I have had locs for just a little over a week now and so far I've washed about 3 times now. I have no intentions of not washing for the sake of locking faster. I'm addicted to washing my hair. I started my locs by root to tip interlocking because of this fact. It makes it harder for them to unravel.

I dont wanna ruin them when they look so good, but the waxy & dried build up from product is bothering me

I found this thread very helpful...I'm three weeks in today and my loctician told me not to wash until I saw him (4 weeks for day started). I couldn't...I wash last weekend which was week 2. Took the advice here an on YouTube and washed with a stocking cap and diluted some Trader Joes nourish spa shampoo. My head felt 100% better.

Great thread. My baby locs were born on May 27, 2014. I started them via 2 strand twists in a salon. I asked the loctician how soon can I wash, she said "Come back to me in 4-6 weeks". It's only been 2 days and my scalp is itching like crazy. She used Shea Butter mixed with something else. I'll probably wash with diluted Dr. Bronner's (peppermint) and a stocking cap.

Re: Washing Baby Locs?
I'm so happy to have found this thread. I have dandruff that gets worse when the weather gets cold and waiting 3-4 weeks to see my stylist is too long to go without washing. I will try the stocking cap idea.

Re: Washing Baby Locs?
With my scalp, not only do I HAVE to wash often, but I MUST be able to have full access to my scalp, so no stocking cap for me. I also have to scrub my scalp with the pads of my fingers, so I have more frizz (honestly I have frizz no matter what I do or what products I use) than I might have if I didn't. This requires that I retwist often, too, but once I am fully locked I probably won't retwist EVERY time I shampoo.
