@worn2fade wow really getting up there now! Have you washed these yet? I can't remember.

[worn2fade]

@Oaktavia yeah dude, they have 1 initial soak & 3 washes!

@worn2fade looks killer dude. what’s your wash game with XHS? did my first at 60 wears and didn’t lose as much indigo as I thought they would - but my combs are still pretty crisp. hoping for more on the next wash, but wondering if I go longer or shorter or if 60 wears is about right.

[worn2fade]

@indigo_nico brother, I haven’t seen much indigo loss even after 3 washes & my honeycombs went to crap after the first wash honestly. Prior to any washes my combs were nice and sexy, after the first they got a little funky.

My first wash was at day 175 (5 days prior to making 6 straight months,) second wash was at 210 days (7 months,) and third wash was at day 256 (8.5 months.)

Example pictures below:

Before any washes: Day 158

Two~ weeks after 1st wash: Day 193

Three days after 2nd wash: Day 213

& the pictures posted that you responded to is a little over two weeks from the third wash.

As you can see, my honeycombs never bounced back lol.

@indigo_nico also, thanks for your kind words dude.

Edit: and to answer your wash game question, my goal was to hold off until 6 months for first wash (was 5 days too short lol,) and then wash whenever they were dirty after that.

[indigo_nico]

@worn2fade bro they still look fire! I’m several months of wear behind you on my 555, but getting inspo seeing your invitational posts. Keep fading em they look sick dude

[worn2fade]

@indigo_nico I appreciate that dude, thanks. Rocking triple 5’s is definitely rewarding especially with the combs. My thighs could never fit into them though haha

[indigo_nico]

@worn2fade mine don’t fit to well either tbh haha. Cyclist thighs, shoulda done 888. Fighting the good fight until I can’t fight anymore!

Day 282!
