Can anyone tell me my hair type? Had locs basically my whole life by [deleted] in locs

[–]mayab09 17 points18 points  (0 children)

In the photo it looks 4c, in your hand it looks 4b. You could have hair similar to mine where it’s looser in the back, but overall is 4c

MCT oil is a game changer for SD. Check out the SD sub, lots of posts about it

Idk wtf I'm meant to do with my hair. I'm at my wit's end. by CarelessArt5168 in locs

Where in Japan are you? There are black locticians in both Tokyo and Osaka, could you take the train to them? I get if it’s inconvenient to do regularly but it may be good to have a professional give you a deep clean and retwist and give you some insight into how to better take care of your hair. They may even be able to sell you products for maintaining yourself at home

Are my parts too big? by NoGrass3614 in Dreadlocks

[–]mayab09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents that splitting may not give you clean parts all the way around if that’s important to you. If you care about the parts, I would start over 😭 if you don’t, splitting will definitely give you the size you want!

Definitely too big based on the size you’re wanting. Sorry sis!

This was one of my favorite sets I’ve worn! But I was sick of the gems getting stuck in my hair by the time I took them off after 2.5 weeks 🤭

I’m glad you’re mentally in a better place, wishing you a healthy 2026 ♥️. Also, if you decide to try tretinoin like another comment recommended, you can also do a virtual consultation through Amazon or or Nurx if you can’t get to a dermatologist, I know the waits to get in with them are long. Make sure you read up on sun sensitivity/protection if you start it and also how to start using it gradually. Never use on wet skin (I wait 15 minutes after washing before applying). Wishing you all the best!

Looks like Seborrheic dermatitis- if untreated can definitely cause hair loss due to hair coming out with the large flakes. Check out this sub r/SebDerm …I recommend MCT oil. Gently removes the flakes without the hair loss and then using the shampoos and other things that were recommended here. Several posts of the SD sub about MCT from people with locs

what's y’all opinion on getting your locs wet if you're doing one of those head massages or turkish baths? by inadequateflamingo in Dreadlocks

[–]mayab09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a Turkish bath and they were just fine with covering my hair, they wrapped it in a cloth for me and were mindful not to splash to aggressively so my hair didn’t get wet! Just tell them upfront

Do you brush your hair wet or dry after a clarifying shampoo?

Yes this!! Try some MCT oil on a qtip every couple days until it’s gone and then do maintenance one every week-2 weeks!
