- A quick 3 month loc update on the progress of my micro locs established on transitioning relaxed hair.
#dreadlocks #sisterlocks #butterflylocs
honestly I love that you have locs with different features from most. Your relaxed ends make me think of reeeeallly fly micros that are modernized. I used to love micros. These are nice, I like how different your journey looks from everyone else...you're so unique
You seem much happier with this set.
I think this hybrid loc/relaxed look is dope! Shine on!
I also like the fact that you dont have that infamous grid pattern on your scalp! It looks much more natural without.
I agree!
Don't like the grid look at all. You are stunning. Total natural beauty w no makeup. Hair looks beautiful too
I started mine without the grid because my hair is fine. It looks so natural and less scalpy than the first set I did with a grid
So, I have neen on my journey for 14 months and my relaxed ends are now starting to swell up into my locks. Is that normal? What can I do to stop it without smapping my thin hair? Any help would be highly appreciated.
😍I LOVE the style of your hair! You've started a trend Sis! Microlocked at the root with straight ends- is genius 🤩 You've blended the look well by curling all of your hair!
i’ve never seen locs like yours, they are so beautiful 😍 i love the relaxed ends, gorgeous
I love the esthetic of your locs. They look awesome. My locs are a combo of techniques. Because my hair texture is soft and fine in areas, I chose to go the microlocs for fullness. Some locs were palm rolled and some were interlocked. I'm 13 months in on this journey. As my locs swell and shrink, I'm combining the ones that are too tiny. This is my third journey and hopefully last. I'm enjoying them so far and as much as my first set which I had for 5 years and were larger. My second lasted for two years but they had problems lol.
Nikkie Are you on Instagram? I would like to follow your journey ☺️
Love your hair! I have relaxed ends still and I’ve had my SL for two years ☺️
Damn This Has Been A Pretty Long Journey, But I Enjoy Your Vids As Every Year I Get To See Something Different From Your Journey
You Experiment A Lot With Your Hair Which Is Pretty Cool As Majority Of The Loc And Natural Hair Community Seem To Have Something Against
-Keep It Up
🌻🌻🌻🌻I think that you are setting a trend. 🌻🌻🌻🌻 The wavy/curly ends are an aesthetically pleasing look.
It’s why I love your channel, I love how spontaneous you are with you hair and you don’t conform to the “norm”...and I think your loced hair with relaxed ends is so decent and I love the look!
I'm almost at the 6 weeks mark with my microlocs. I'm loving it so far. I haven't used oil but the itchiness is getting to me
I’ve been on the fence about sister locs but this has me sold😊
gabzz Z I’m over here chanting do it do it do it!!
Your microlocs look great! Nice and fluffy. It will be interesting to see what happens to your relaxed ends as time goes on but, as you said, so far, so good.
Omg as soon as you appeared on screen I was SHOOK. The *growth* wow, and I can tell that a few are beginning to lock. Your locs look gorgeous!
Your locs are beautiful.
Combining them still looks great!!!!
This is a really unique journey. I think I see your vision as I too have thought of loose ends. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I have tiny braidlocs which I started a few months ago and by look of things my pattern isn't going away anytime soon. If I like how your ends turn out, I might follow suit and undo the braided part.
Oooh it must feel so interesting with the two textures! It looks beautiful! I am also microloc'd via interlocking the length of the hair. I can tell your twists are locking up quite well and I love the fullness. Looking forward to seeing more of your journey :)
When I started my first set of starter locs, I used Jojoba oil to keep moisture in my hair but I get buildup extremely easily so I washed way more often than is okay in this weather rn (cold). I ended up making my own rosewater spray though because my scalp is not staying moisturized like it was when I was a loose natural due to the parting spaces and my hair not being used to them. I am actually in the process of installing my microlocs atm, so far the very front left section from my middle part to above my ear is finished 😂. I dont even know what day of installation I'm on, I'm just pushing forward so I can be done with loose natural hair.
Beautiful. I love it. And my hair was texlaxed before input mine in. I was just desperate for something to help w tangling w my hair. It was just so kinky which i loved and didn’t mind but i didn’t want to only be able to touch my hair while wet. Mine look almost awesome as yours lol. I love the straight kind of look. I love my coils but I’m enjoying this
As always, I enjoyed this video. I really liked the "how dare you" comment. Keep the updates coming.
Dang mate your locks look so good. Lushious, thick and full of body!!!❤️❤️❤️it
OMG, I wish I had seen your videos a few months ago. My daughter wanted micro locks but she had relaxed ends. This would have been a super cool look!! We ended up just big chopping her hair and she's starting locs on the natural hair.
Your hair is gorgeous and natural hair can do so many things! I like all your sets, but this is my favorite set. :)
I’m trying super hard not to experience loc envy over you! Haha hair envy is actually one of the many reasons I’m opting for locs... so I can stop trying to be like / look like others and just BE! Along with low maintenance! This is interesting because I am relaxed and so my first thoughts were to research and see if my relaxed ends would work, now I’ve stumbled across your videos and it has me seriously thinking! This look so far reminds me of the micro braids worn a few years back that I always wanted but my never could get for multiple reasons. It’s nice to see someone change the game up & just do their own thing! It lets me know that there’s room to experiment and that’s totally okay!! Get weird results, wanted results, atypical results, it’s all about enjoying the process!!
I actually like this loc look! ☺️Im thinking of getting micro locs while my hair is in transition as well. Anyways, Thanks for sharing beautiful!
Can you show how you wash and blow dry? Love your hair. This is what I've been looking for I just never knew it was ever possible. I used to see ppl with locs and love the look until I saw their ends and I would be turned off. But, OMG you've got the look that I've been looking for! 👍
I haven’t used any oils for this set of locs. I haven’t had any itching issues. I think oils cause your scalp to itch. Also I know the sisterlocks regime doesn’t call for oils. So I figured if those locs didn’t need them. Neither do traditional locs. So far so good. It’s also helped my hair to loc faster. Imma add. My hair still feels real soft even tho I haven’t used any oils and I use a clarifying shampoo. I’m curious to see how your hair progresses with the relaxed ends. I like the look.
Angela Elaine How often are you washing your hair ?
Roz Christopherson once every 2-3 weeks or as needed. It’s cold right now. I don’t always feel like doing it. Plus I don’t use products that need to be washed out.
Angela Elaine Thank you for your reply. 😃
It made be the type of oil you used
Loooove your hair👌🏾 each person’s journey is their own and you’ve chosen an awesome one for you. Look forward to seeing how your locs mature over time. I have micro-locs as well and have 365ish. I started with two strand twists and maintain with interlocking.
Thank you!!! I’m about to begin my own journey with locs and relaxed ends. I go for my sister lock consultation on Saturday. I’m thinking of creating a channel to record my journey. It seems that there’s not too many with lots of relaxed hair with channels with current information. Your hair is beautiful and like everyone says it looks like micro braids.
Personally? Keep the relaxed ends lol Like it's soooo gorg and unique! I absolutely love it! Excited to see how your hair thrive
wow your hair is just beautiful.
Thank you so much.
It looks like hairextensions wow so beautifull. I'm four months into my braidlocksjourney.
Hey 👋🏿
Very interesting about the jojoba oil making your scalp itch, I wouldn’t have thought it would cause that but that’s made me think.
I had relaxed ends on my first set of sisterlocks and I had no intention of chopping them off, I just used to do braid outs but in my case it looked bad and stringy.
My relaxed ends (on the front of my hair) started to effect the locking process for the regrowth underneath and I had plenty of bunching on those locs in particular.
This time round my install was on all natural hair and it’s a totally different experience and in my case the locs are much prettier and more uniform.
I think your locs look gorgeous and you actually take care of your relaxed ends which I didn’t 🙈
Leecey Leece thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
Love your videos and new set of locs! I got my interlocks installed and had little knowledge of how to take care of them so heavily relied on your older loc videos to help me figure things out. Here I am almost 3 years later and my locs are still holding on and healthy.
SN My scalp didn't like jojoba oil either or most oils for that matter.
Love your hair I’m 6 months post texlaxed hair and I’ have micro braids love the curly ends also gonna be a long process your great motivation.
I think it’s beautiful!!! Keep the videos coming!!!
I just started mine today♥️
As I started getting into soap making, ive learned that jojoba oil is waxy and less oily than we think lol. So it needs to be cut with something thinner like Olive or sweet almond
Bryanna G. Interesting tidbit. Thanks for commenting!
All I've used on my scalp this journey is almond oil. I had to stop because it was literally snowing up there. I use it only on the locks now when I'm taking down a braid out. Otherwise I just leave my scalp to do its thing and wash every 2 weeks.
I did diy micro locs on my relaxed hair nd l have no regrets ❤️❤️
Please do a wash day video
Ceira Ford already filmed. Airing next week 🙂
Cool you arent locking the relaxed ends. It looks like microbraids to me. Pretty.
So I LOVE the way your hair has looked on every single one of your journeys. I do think this one however is my favorite thus far. But can you please explain how you will maintain the two textures. I remember my struggle with my line of demarcation between my loose natural hair and my relaxed hair. So I am just really curious on what your regimen will be in order to maintain both extremely different textures?? Like will you continue to relax the ends? What will happen should the relaxed hair start to break if you do not relax it? I have so many questions.But I really think your hair looks amazing right now either way!!🤗
CAN'T KEEP QUIET KESHA thank you! If you wouldn’t mind, go ahead and list out all the questions you have. I’m asking this bc I’m only beginning to understand that people have real questions about managing the two textures but really nothing has changed for me. Ask away! And I’ll do my best to explain clearly.🙂
Lol... well I guess that was the gist like I really want to see your regimen. How you will maintain the different textures. Will you continue to relax the ends.So you will only be interlocking the top part? Did you do a specific number of rotations on each loc in order to keep them somewhat uniformed and consistent as far as loc to relaxed ratio? And I just feel like you may really be on to something and are literally creating a whole "new type/style" of loc the fact that you are INTENTIONALLY only locing part of the strand as opposed to the whole loc "hope that makes sense" I know people have obviously loc'd relaxed hair before but I am not aware of anyone who ever on purpose left part of the hair relaxed for aesthetics or more versatility. I just LOVE it, and think it is so pretty not to mention different!!
@@keeshaskorner5011
1. How you will maintain the different textures?
The only "special" maintance required for two hair types is that I apply shampoo only to my locs, and I apply shampoo, conditioner, and heat protectant to my relaxed ends. Its a relitively easy maintenance routine which will be demonstrated in my next video featuring my wash + blow drying routine. It may make more sense when you can see the process.
2. Will you continue to relax the ends?
In keeping with standard relaxer pactices, being that the ends are already relaxed, I will not be re-applying relaxer. That would be considered 'double processing' which almost ensures long term breakage.
3.Will you only be interlocking the top part?
Just as with standard interlocking practices, I will only be interlocking new growth and slippage at the roots of my locs.
4. Did you do a specific number of rotations on each loc in order to keep them somewhat uniformed and consistent as far as loc to relaxed ratio?
Actually the length of my starter locs are two strand twisted and braided where the natural and relaxed hair meet. The two strand twisting alone has been enough to provide consistency.
I hope this helps clear up some of the questions you had!
@@Bindi_Marc Yes indeed it did, thank you! And I clearly did not think that reapplying relaxer question through before asking...I ABSOLUTELY know that would cause overprocessing 🤭 out the "relaxer circle" too long! But again, thank you and can't wait to tune into the next video!!🤗
Your hair is so gorgeous
Ur hair is gorgeous. ❤️
Random question- I haven’t been able to get a good understanding on. What is the difference between 3 and 4 point rotation... as in long term look and feel of the loc? How do you choice which to use? And what difference would it make in the locs is you switch patterns? These questions have me hesitant to start the journey for my little one who wants locs.
The four point rotation will make a tighter loc than the three point. When we did the first set of my locs we did a four point and my locs looked so very tiny but when I did the second set we went for a three point rotation. Mind you the texture of my hair is really soft and curly/wavy. I must say that the four point rotation in my opinion does give less of a frizzy look in the long run. I was trying to insert a picture to show you the difference but it is not working.
Nicole Perry-Hall thank you. That is helpful to know. I would love to see the long term difference if you could get it to work:)
lray1009 I can’t figure out how to post a picture on here.
A week away from 7 months sisterlocked. It has definitely been interesting. My ends are still loose and curly. I look like I have a full fro
I'm on my journey too! My channel is AjahinKorea and I am 16 months loc'd! Thanks for the opportunity to shout myself out Bindi!
Your probably going to create your own loc look if you can retain your relaxed ends sorta like the weave micros /goddess loc look but with your real hair I just hope you can retain most of it
Brushing while blow drying? This is going to be interesting
I haven’t found anything to get rid of my itchy, dry scalp. My scalp dries out like the next day if I don’t use oil on my scalp 😩 the mixture of jojoba, avocado, ylang ylang, tea tree and peppermint seems to hold off the itchiness for a few days but that’s it 😔
But have the larger size microlocs. I started with two strand twists and started maintaining with interlocking but decided to give palm rolling a try since mine are big enough to do either or. Watching your channel for guidance cuz my little sister wants sisterlocks but can’t afford it at this moment. I love hearing other DIY journeys. While I’m not one of them, feel free to check out my channel that I started just to get out my comfort zone and share my journey.
Alycia Tamara you ever go to a dermatologist ? I have the same problem so I decided to seek help from a professional. And I happen to find a black female dermatologist in my area. She’s booked. I have a couple month wait
Kieonna S I’ve thought about it but haven’t done it yet. That was my next plan. Thanks!! ☺️
I love your hair and the two textures. So what made you combine your locs? Do you think your locs will swell overtime as the shed hair incorporates into the locs making them larger? Or do microlocs have minimal expansion due to their small size? Thanks
My Locs I believe all locs swell from their starting point until they reach full maturity. I expect my locs to be no exception. 🙂
Omg! 😍😍😍😍
Sebum will make your scalp itch if it builds up. Sebum production depends on diet and genetics.
Do you prefer these Locs to your original set?
Hi, I also decided to let the ends free, but they are natural. I recon the ends get thiner and I am afraid I losing the Volume. So I'd to lock more of the ends, do you know how I could do that? Thank you.
Idk what it is about starting locs and that “itching” but I do notice that that new locs go through that including mine. I even bought that No Itch spray. The itching lasted about 2-3 months then it just went away. It never came back. I was wondering if it’s just the scalp trying to get use to hair being locked up or something. I love your hair like everyone else by the way.
its strange coz i was obsessed with the same oil years ago but for some reason i stopped using it.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
One thing that came to mind is to maybe mix the jojoba oil with another carrier only if you wanted to try it out again!?
They look close like sister locs...😳
Do you still keep your ends intentionally unlocked?
How often do you retwist?
I’m only two weeks in
Do you use any products in the relaxed ends? If so, what?
I can't do more than 300😳
How long did it take to install?
Hey! I’m new in this process of locs. Two weeks in. What’s the loc count to be considered to have micro locs?
Currently I have 296 starter locs the method was comb coils.
Kieonna S congratulations on starting your loc journey! I don’t know that there are any hard and fast rules about where “small locs” end, and “microlocs” begin. If I had to give an opinion I’d say it’s based on appearance. I’d now consider my first set of locs “small locs” and this set “microlocs.” It’s really your own judgment call.
Bindi J. Marc ok that’s what I thought! I shall see where I’m at once they mature. I think it’ll be small locs.
I love the look of your microlocs !
So those in the Sisterlocks community will tell you that if it looks like Sisterlocks (but isn't lol!!) then it's microlocks. I think anything smaller than traditional locks (i.e., smaller than the thickness of a regular pencil) but not done according to the specifications of Sisterlocks (grid pattern, licensed sisterlocks consultant, number of locks) would be considered microlocks. I have 237 locks, done using interlocking from root to tip, and I consider myself to have microlocks. My daughter has between 560-600 locks or more, but in a different grid than the Sisterlocks grid pattern, so I consider her too to have microlocks. However, you can't tell the difference between her and someone with trademark Sisterlocks by just looking.
brown eyed thank you soooo much!! I appreciate your input. Mine are definitely smaller than a pencil! I can’t wait to see how mine will turn out. All locs to me a beautiful
I shampoo my locs once a week with black soap 🤷🏽♀️
i used black soap for a short time and ir eally enjoyed it.
How long does it take you to re-tie your hair?
I tend to space it out over the course of 3 days. If im taking my time, I space it out over a week.
What do you mean you brush your locs ?
Janye Davis I don’t brush my locs. I do however, brush my relaxed ends on occasion.
Bindi J. Marc Ohok .
You might have been using too much oil
What is your Instagram name? Thanx
