@shehealslocs: Yak really LOVES his Freeform style and wasn’t sure how I’d clean his hair without undoing them. I still needed to reach his scalp, which was deeply hidden underneath layers and layers of matted and tightly tangled hair and debris. This is due to the absence of a maintenance routine. Once the debris mixes with any form of liquid (sweat, water, etc.), it then behaves like a “glue”, making the free-forming locs stick to each other, pulling them towards the center of his head. This pulling creates tension and discomfort, mostly around the perimeter of the head and increases sensitivity in other areas of the scalp as well. Unresolved, this could lead to other issues such as breakage and hair loss. The objective here was to carefully and intentionally separate the matting in certain areas to release the tension, allowing the free form locs to “let go” or “relax”, falling away for the center. Simultaneously, the scalp is more exposed for a deeper cleaning, tension is removed and hair is flowing freely now. Next up the is the deep cleanse and this massage process just set us up for a really thorough cleaning👏🏾👏🏾 Go stream “KODAK THE BLESSING” new album OUT NOW EVERYWHERE!🔥🔥💪🏾 #kodakblack #freeformlocs #wicks #locwashing #KTB
