How Often Should You Wash Locs

Washing your locs the right way is very important.

If you wash too little, buildup can form. If you wash too much, your hair can feel dry.

The goal is to find the right balance.


How Often You Should Wash

Most people should wash their locs every 1 to 2 weeks.

If you sweat a lot or use products often, you may need to wash more.

If your scalp feels itchy or your locs feel heavy, it is time to wash.


Signs You Need a Wash

Pay attention to your hair.

  • Your locs feel heavy

  • Your scalp feels itchy

  • Your hair looks dull

How to Wash the Right Way

Use a shampoo that cleans your hair without leaving residue.
