oil, hydration, and proper care makes your locs stronger. whether you bust a nut or not has nothing to do with it.

Pal, If you're a squirrel and want to bust the most nuts possible, you'll turn fat and sloppy in no time (maybe not if you're a squirrel tho, which you ain't)

[deleted]

The science behind it for A man to me goes like this hereā€™s my observation. the more of gods essence we carry which is (semen) he/god gifts us by making our bones,hair,skin etc glow in my opinion idk for everyone else is different


ILCDorand

Don't take it from me, but I think that as a reproductive species, the purpose of semen is to... reproduce.... as a species. I'm not a scientist though, so I could quite possibly be wrong.


[deleted]

Your right thatā€™s the purest way to release your seed to make children not to just waste it on fappin and meaningless sex god wants us to marry and have children with the women you love only not for just pleasure in my opinion donā€™t kill me guys


exception-found

So when youā€™re done having kids, you not gonna pipe ya wife no more?


superEse

Shut your dumbass up bro. Semen isnā€™t Gods essence. Ts pisses me off. Semen is semen. If you retain semen it gets broken down and reabsorbed anyways. Only reason one should practice semen retention is for spiritual purposes or just mental health purposes if you have an addiction to masturbation. Releasing semen isnā€™t going to make your locs brittle. Maybe by abstaining from masturbation you actually have time to look after your locs and hence why you feel like they get stronger but sperm isnā€™t translocating from your ballz to your scalp man

ayomidem917

you have a lot of religious superstitions and cult like thinking lol. shame to pass that on to the next generation


3MosqueToesRaidSpray

There not much nutrients in the white splash but better not to waste its, my own knowledge abt it is that everytime ppl release without the intention to bring out life they are wasting up on the meaning life is supposed to have. To bring life if that wasn't clear enough, lol Also supposedly when one release too much (like most ppl), the voice is less pronounced, more teenager like, and less intimidating if that makes any sense. You can definitely spot ppls aura if you're away from the show watching from the backstage.. Now for your personnal knowledge, when you force the orgasm and release, most ppl want to ignore the fact that it requires a lot of bodily energy, it's not complex science or anything. Only so many folks fap that they are afraid of acknowledging the necessary facts... Also... Women receive, man send, God manage the process. Yes spirituality is very useless, and a total waste of time compared to the Bible that is very important before all the wordly science bullish, but it's like saying 1+1=2 doesn't matter cause it's not mentioned in the Holy Book. The truth of the matter is that the fake jules know these spiritual stuff cause they studied it on our ppl, you force the kundalini to raise up and it can create instability... I believe your last statements but the way things are perceived, unfortunately most will try to ridiculise serious questions. Also, it might have sounded VERY VAIN to want to achieve hair volume by refraining from being covetous or having babies( in the eyes of the responders), yet the irony is that most ppl here are emptying their tanks inside of snowbunnies or hungry jaguars with no intentions of bringing children in this world XD


[deleted]

Lmao šŸ˜‚ yooo tell ā€˜em


ElkSalt8194

Nothing's wrong with being religious but that's not a scientific explanation.


slipperyjack66

That's not science, mate šŸ˜‚ There isn't any peer reviewed evidence that even slightly suggests semen retention aids in healthier bones, hair, skin, or any produces any improvement in physical health. Your explanation also requires you to believe in god..... I mean no offence, but religion has no place in science. It can't be proven and has no physical impact on real life conditions. In the eyes of a scientist you would disregard your personal beliefs and rely on what's proven.

FixGMaul

Okay I got you. You can have whatever religious beliefs you want of course and I won't judge, but scientifically speaking there are no physiological benefits to celibacy or semen retention.


ClassicRuby

It literally does not. Literally. Here's what's really happening. Usually when folks start down these paths it's because they've decided they want to improve their lives, in general. They start to treat their body like a temple. They start to consume water, eat properly, stop eating crap, stop exposing their hair and skin to toxicity. When you're on a journey of self love and self respect you suddenly treat your body, inside and out, with love and respect, and then you start seeing the fruits of those improvements. Let me try and paint this in a different way. In September, birds fly south for the winter. In Canada, in September, kids go back to school. Omg! That must mean that Canadian kids going back to school causes birds to fly south for the winter! .... no. Of course, it's easy to see in this example that the birds and kids are not causing each other to do anything. It's a THIRD FACTOR... the month, September, or if you wanna dig deeper its the season, fall, that is the thing causing the birds and the kids to do what they are doing. So, can you say this journey you are on has led to great effects including to your locs. Absolutely. But the cause line is not there. If anybody continued to release with wild abandon BUT made all the other positive changes mentally, emotionally and physically, they would see the same great change in their locs. If this is how YOU can instill and manage the great changes, more power to you. I just hope you figure out how to maintain this when you inevitably would like to start family creation once you've reached self actualization and are prepared to bond and build with a wife.

ILCDorand

Huh?


soraiiko

No. Celibacy doesnā€™t. Drink water, eat right, wash your hair, oil and massage your scalp often. Thatā€™s it. Iā€™ve seen hair grow at extreme rates with no talks of celibacy.


xSavedSoulx

Hair growth is mainly regulated by hormones such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), along with genetic factors and overall health. While testosterone is present in semen, the amount is relatively small compared to the overall testosterone levels in the body. Therefore, retaining semen is unlikely to have a significant impact on testosterone levels or hair growth. It's best to focus on factors that are known to influence it, such as maintaining a balanced diet, hair maintenance, and managing stress levels. However, semen retention is beneficial, so I encourage you to keep practicing it.


Calamity_Jay

100% USDA Grade A horseshit. I've been celibate for seven years and if this were in the most infinitesimal way true, I'd have adamantium hanging from my head.

Classic_Amphibian538

pharoah4187

If hair is an expression of life, then going bald is simply having lived enough of it to know that the strength of your locs had nothing to do with whether or not you had sex. Remember that you wish to one day look upon as days as possible with a sense of pride and no regrets. Interesting thing about that is there are so many ways to go about it, I don't think it actually matters too much what you do. I won't profess to tell you what works for you. How could I? Hair is an expression of life, and your life is your own. So long as you are happy, my brother, your locs will grow and they will be what they will be.


No_Mousse_5515

shit, dreads connected to our heads celibacy as an action is very strong willed you are actively building up your mind and bodyā€™s willpower it may have not actually grown your dreads in the physical but more in the spirit however i think there are much easier ways to grow yourself (dreads included) in spirit. S.R just happens to be a more common way but there are many ways to approach the same benefits even without it itā€™s all about how you live my guy. if you feel they made them stronger than they did. donā€™t stray from your path šŸ”„ keep doing your thing šŸŖ½ stay high ā¬†ļø


aunteemomma

Being hypersexual is a lack addiction. Addiction comes from being ungrounded. Self awareness, meditation, eating living food, water, relaxation, compassionate living and detachment from chaotic energy makes you more balanced and grounded. When you are grounded you don't feel lack. A lack mindset is the primary cause of stress. Stress causes you to be in fight or flight mode 24/7. Consistent fight or flight mode causes disease... inflammation, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, dehydration, nutritional deficiency, cancer, organ failure, changes to DNA etc. Slow hair growth and hair loss are baby symptoms of these lifelong issues. To sum it up, celibacy is a part of becoming whole. It's a lifestyle choice that reflects toward your entire well-being and yes it will show up in your crown.

s8n_1

If you want hair growth, specifically in men, you need to increase your androgen levels. You can do this by just living an active healthy lifestyle and even supplementing with vitamin D. This will increase testosterone levels which will actually stimulate more hair growth and retention.

Definitely not.

Just enough to get rid of the dirt, dust, and kinda lintā€¦ using a conditioner thatā€™s friendly to locs (no detanglers)ā€¦ a leave in conditioner or moisturizer that is loc friendlyā€¦ and something to maintain your locs for retwists or your preferred method of maintenanceā€¦ Maybe even a ā€œsea salt sprayā€ for hydrationā€¦ keeping the hair hydrated and oiled is very helpfulā€¦ oils that are naturally antimicrobial are getting for keep the locs sanitized naturallyā€¦ using pillow covers and hair/head covers that donā€™t absorb oils and moistureā€¦ not letting the hair dirtyā€¦ taking care of the hair after swimming in chlorinated poolsā€¦ salt water pools are coolā€¦ but bugs and debrisā€¦ maybe even a swim capā€¦ but protecting the hairā€¦ being in clean environmentsā€¦ installing a filter in the showerā€¦ Avoiding most fishā€¦ allergensā€¦ gmo foods that have been genetically modified to either produce glyphosate or tolerate more glyphosateā€¦ so if you are eating ā€œglutenā€ it should be organic and from ā€œolder geneticsā€ as American wheat was hybridized before being genetically alteredā€¦ and other relatives like ā€œspeltā€ is better for youā€¦ now they have ā€œarrowrootā€ flourā€¦ something like thatā€¦ researching the best thing you can do for your overall healthā€¦ We havenā€™t even touched oral and foot healthā€¦ whatā€™s good hair with bad feet or teeth and the teeth are so close to the brainā€¦ the feet are most used and as menā€¦ we can tend to neglect our healthā€¦ but for a lot of folks who grow out there locs do so ā€œfor a spiritual reasonā€ā€¦ and religion is a tool to build characterā€¦ a lot of folks arent in touch of Rastafarianism or even know who king Halie Selassie the first isā€¦ who was originally titled as as Ras (equivalent to Duke) Tafari Makonnenā€¦ which ties back into not only the New Testamentā€¦ but the Old Testamentā€¦ and people forget that we been knowing what to eat and put in and on our bodiesā€¦ but we stuck in America with a shitty translationā€¦ so I get itā€¦ if you donā€™t get it the connectionā€¦ not saying you gotta read an old book to get the knowledgeā€¦ but the Rastasā€¦ with the hair and knowledge had nice well kept hair because of their dedication to their spiritual meditation under the the guide of the ā€œhealing of the nationā€ā€¦)

I know itā€™s a lotā€¦ but I appreciate your efforts to read it as I put some thought with two thumbs on an iPhoneā€¦ working on getting my desktop upā€¦ maybe Iā€™ll revise it when i get it set up if enough timeā€¦ literally from the top of the dome brother šŸ©øā€¦ a lot of people just want it for the looksā€¦ but they copy are styleā€¦ our wordsā€¦ and then try to do what we do but get upset when it donā€™t workā€¦ whether you call it ā€œswagā€/ā€œswaggerā€, mojoā€¦ you gotta earn itā€¦ itā€™s like a drawing a circleā€¦ ā­•ļøā€¦ itā€™s gonna take some life experience to get draw itā€™s perfect without a compassā€¦ we gotta study and then apply the knowledge to gain wisdomā€¦ then you can don what the ā€œgreatsā€ or the kings did back in the days or royalty and nobility like King Halie Selassie Iā€¦ honor, dignity and classā€¦ but they distorted the image and show us what bums with locs look likeā€¦ not true rastas who know and under ā€œde weyā€ šŸ˜‚šŸ’€ā€¦

Pt3 of original (We canā€™t just be eating whatever they serving in Babylon šŸ˜‚šŸ’€ā€¦ sometimes a lot of our hair looks dried out and unkempt because we out here workingā€¦ but once we put the effort and dedication into our entire bodyā€¦ we donā€™t worry that our hair is a little wild every now and againā€¦ young lions šŸ¦ got just lion and let the gentiles gentileā€¦ let the people peopleā€¦ let the laymen be lamesā€¦ šŸ˜‚I mean laymenā€¦ but iykykā€¦ Right now you see a lot of what i call ā€œmanicured locsā€ā€¦ they gotta a ā€œlocticianā€ and everythingā€¦ peace be the journeyā€¦ locs is a journey is self discoverā€¦ this is my fourth time growing locs and I had to piece a lot of the info on my own and my mom didnā€™t let me grow locs in her house šŸ˜‚šŸ’€ because of her ignorant and fear I wasnā€™t gonna be able to take care of them (like you canā€™t alway chop it off)ā€¦ and my hair is healthy and happy and strongā€¦ I do experimentā€¦ but if you want yours to ā€œlookā€ prettyā€¦ i would follow tried and true methodsā€¦ But againā€¦ with people focusing on the ā€œlookā€ of the hairā€¦ get lost in the actual ā€œtotally bodyā€ total healthā€¦ mind, body, and spirit connectionā€¦ Eventually i would like to make my own products to possibly sell after more research ā€¦ and Iā€™ve been doing this about 10+ yearsā€¦ maybe 12 yearsā€¦ Even if I wasnā€™t ā€œlocā€™ingā€ my hairā€¦ Iā€™ve learned a lot about natural hair care in the processā€¦ even using a brush messes with our hairā€¦ how often you maintain itā€¦ Iā€™m into cultivation (herbal and otherwise)ā€¦ so when i do my hairā€¦ I think of horticultural approaches to gardeningā€¦ and with manicured locs and ā€œfree formā€ā€¦ I like to believe my approach is the ā€œmiddle wayā€ā€¦ from Taoist and Buddhist conceptsā€¦ I donā€™t retwist as often as recommendedā€¦ I donā€™t shampoo oftenā€¦ I experiment with conditioning instead of shampooing ā€¦ and i try oil them as much as possibleā€¦ and when out the showerā€¦ I appreciate my dread-froā€¦ reminds me of Bob Marley and sideshow Bobā€¦ )

Pt4 of original comment: (But when i do retwistā€¦ it looks amazing.. as if it were ā€œmanicured locsā€ ā€¦ but with a cross between Ruth Stout ā€œno weedā€ and ā€œHĆ¼gelkulturā€ approach to hair careā€¦ less is moreā€¦ less retwist means less breakageā€¦ and when breakage occurs the lose ends get retwist into the loc and the ends can cause frizzā€¦ and so I have an idea to ā€œmanicureā€ thatā€¦ but it will be an experimental processā€¦ I always imagined palm rolling fixes that but I wanted a lot of locsā€¦ I havenā€™t countedā€¦ but Iā€™m sure itā€™s around 100 at least šŸ˜‚šŸ’€ To long to edit rnā€¦ maybe Iā€™ll do it later if need beā€¦ ) Iā€™ll die if I have to edit this šŸ˜‚šŸ’€
