Hair Question to me from a subscriber: Quick hair question, I just got Goddess locs. Can I get them wet? The shop told me not to get them wet after I sat to get them all installed and paid for.
Benita's response:
First of all, there is no such thing as a "quick hair question."
Secondly, What do you mean by "wet?"
- Stuck in the rain?
- Shampooing?
- Swimming?
The real answer: The $300 Goddess locs braiding styles are typically not human hair. Therefore, trapping wetness inside of the excessively wrapped synthetic fibers is a recipe for "smelly locs." Therefore, I would listen to the advice of the shop that installed them. Do not swim in them. Do not shampoo them. Do not engage in a lot of water saturation activities while wearing the synthetic goddess locs. The Human Hair Goddess locs run about $700, and only braiding specialists offer them. There is a specific type of human hair that can be used to make the style more active lifestyle friendly.
