I am so over the neatness of everything. I wear spandex so i don't have to iron clothes, and hardly wear much makeup anymore and of course my locs are freeform bedhead goodness: I love it! I was a Sisterlock(tm) diva at one time and proud of it actually. Got certified and all that and started out on my path to turn the views of natural hair being "unkept" on its heels. And here I am now and I couldn't care less of neat and order anything, and that includes my hair. I really love that I do not have to do anything to my hair that hurts.
No tools, no tight styling, no fuss man! Rock on.
These days I have scaled my care regimen all the way down to just water. I clean with hot water and go about my business. I was using the Whole Foods 365 shampoo at one time but I found that even that was causing some flaking and build up in my locs, so I stopped everything. Now my hair dries in about 3 hours and its ligt and fluffy all the time. No smell at all!.
This is mainly from me not using any oils. Oils trap sweat and dirt in the locs and make them impossible to get clean. Mold and mildew grow from the locs because the hair stays moist from the trapped oil. Ditch the oil and use leave in conditioners that are water based if you must have something.
