@krismcdred: Hydrating your locs isn’t just about misting or spraying them. Water needs to actually penetrate the hair, not simply sit on the surface. Think about it like soaking a sponge: a light mist may dampen the outside, but soaking allows water to move deeper into the material. That’s where osmosis comes into the conversation, the movement of water toward areas where it’s needed across a semipermeable barrier. So if your goal is truly hydrated locs, don’t confuse damp with hydrated. Give your hair enough water and time to absorb it. Healthy locs aren’t just about how they look, they are about how well they are cared for. Peace out.
