Yes, you can wash your soft locs. However, I wouldn’t recommend washing the actual locs. Focus on cleaning the scalp only and let the water trickle down. There’s no problem with getting your locs wet, whether in the rain or swimming pool. However, since most locs are made of synthetic fibers, you may not be able to use a hair dryer to dry them or they might be damaged. In such cases, wrapping your hair up in a towel or old cotton t-shirt and then air-drying them would be best. The good news is that it drys relatively fast, so it won’t be a long wait.
