Name please thank you?

Thank you!!!

😂sometimes I don’t realize it

I’ve never tried that combo

Great! and I like the puffy look too, I even like the look of my retwists more so around day 2 or 3 because I don’t like the super fresh look

I have 71 locs and before locking my hair I had a 3C/4A texture. I believe my hair is normal/medium density, it’s not fine but it is extremely curly in the front (3C) than the back (3C mixed with 4A). If you go to my IG natural_cee the pics should give a better look of how my hair is.

Thank you!

I tried going up to 3 months before retwisting, but my hair started growing crazy since it’s curly and I realized I have to do it sooner to prevent my hair from not staying in the loc. Now it’s probably every month or if I see at least half an inch to an inch of new growth. Yes I only twist my roots. I do not palm roll and when I twist, I twist upwards to keep the root stronger and to maintain my loc size throughout.

To get the length is it better to retwist or to interlock with crochet? I realized that the interlocking is stealing my length what do u think ?

Do you mean “loc the locs” as in let them fully become locs?

Aye aye lol, that’s great!

Yeah..for me I’ve gone through so much trial & error that when I find something that works, I have to tell myself stop trying other stuff

Wonderful presentation.pls I want to lock my hair for d first time Do I need any treatment

I’m so sorry I’m just now seeing this, it didn’t show up before. Are they dry & breaking?

Also how often do you retwist & do you palm roll? Asking because in my opinion palm rolling shrinks down the locs because the frizz is what creates the locs. If you retwist too often try extending your timeframe. When I first started my locs my hair was right above shoulder length. During my 1st year and a half I didn’t see too much growth because I forgot that it will shrink before it starts to retain length.

@@NaturalCee my bad i jus read what I sent before , Ive been growing my hairrr out for 3 years not my locs I only started them this year in February so they are still at the beginner stage I was never aware that it doesn’t grow in length for a while when they are first dreaded This makes so much sense I was really just lost because I thought my hair wasn’t growing at all cuz of the blonde hair dye I was almost going to cut it all off and start again I appreciate this

@@NaturalCee so basically for your first year n a half u don’t get much growth when it comes to length but after that year n a half and when it got fully loccd is that when u had an increase in length ?

Glad you didn’t cut it! my hair was actually colored before I started mine. I didn’t use bleach though only a developer to lift it. But during the first stages of locing, your hair is gathering together to bud and form a loc so you will see shrinkage before growth. Once they start budding you may begin to see them hang but it’s a different experience for everyone. Look at my loc journey video and you can see at which point/month my hair began to drop and get length. Also be mindful of what you put in it and things you eat/drink. Hair, skin, and nails are connected and you can always tell what’s up with your body through those 3 things.

Thank you!

Omg I used this when I was loose natural over ten years ago stopped using idk why. I guess that when I started getting into the hype of the "natural hair" products that started trending. Needless to say I've just started back using on my daughter and my natural hair and I can't believe I stopped using it. It's AMAZING

That’s great! I’ve never tried it before

😂thank you very much, I actually just turned 32 in March but I get that all the time especially before my braces came off and before I had locs lol.

Thanks!

I feel like this is my growth year because it’s grown so much and not shrinking as much now...how long are yours?

Like 1 1/2 inches

It will happen in no time!

Once you get passed the shrinkage phase you will see a lot of growth

Thank you, and no not yet. I think I will wait till I get more length so I can get the look I really want.

Thank you!

Does that help keep your hair moisturized too?

@@NaturalCee yes it really does, I also forgot to mention that I put olive oil in the bottle as well shake it up and start spraying LOL it works wonders for me.

Lol, I’m laughing because as I read this I’m like “I like that comment, wait I said that?” 🤦🏾‍♀️but it’s true and I have to keep that in mind through all my stages because just a few days ago I was going to comb them all out then 2 days later I’m like ok I love it again. Just needed some TLC 😂

Thank you!

I think it’s good to spray the rose water. If doing it daily works for your hair, keep a routine that works. As for the locs that you had to combine, did you already try going longer without a retwist & letting them grow out? Asking because the front of my hair (about 4-6 locs) are actually really small due to the heat damage I had when I started my locs. I made it worse by retwisting too much so what I did was not retwist those locs for a while. I would gently wrap any new growth around the locs and leave it. Now the locs are becoming fuller again and when they grow out, I will eventually cut the damaged ends off. Also when retwisting, retwist the hair upwards towards the roots. This helps with loc size and maintaining loc size. I have a video where I show it, but I can’t remember which one so I’ll have to check. But sometimes I see women retwist downwards and the roots become smaller or more stressed and over time become thinner. By twisting upwards, the hair keeps the loc size the same as it grows out.

Also I’m still figuring out the low maintenance styles, but I have a few that I will be doing a video on when I begin to upload again. I can relate to that comment because I can’t wear my hair in a bun for too long because it just feels like too much stress. Usually by midday I’m taking it out. It could also be because my hair is not really long yet it’s like 1-2 inches below my neck so putting my hair up is a little bit of a struggle.

Thank you! and I have 71 locs

How long were they before you started over? What do you use on your locs now, and do you like the 2nd set better than the first?

It’s hard to explain, but it was hard. Not hard as in stiff or rough but hard as is I could tell there was a hold on my curls. Because my hair was still soft. If I was a loose natural, I would probably put a little oil on afterwards like if I was doing a twist to give it that shine with the hold.

I love it but it turns out I’m allergic to the blueberry seed extract 😒😂. I woke up with a swollen throat so I drank some chamomile tea with lemon and it went away. I still used it again but I had to apply it in a way that it won’t affect me as much. I’ll only be using it if I really need to.

@@NaturalCee ohh no sorry to hear that. Hope u find something simplified that works for ya.🙏🙏🙏💓💓💓

Thank you!

Lol, I do that allllll the time

I found it at a beauty supply store, but I know it’s sold at other places like Walmart or Target too.

@@NaturalCee thank you
