Girl when I say I was INVESTED in this story. I was shook when I saw 4 inches of new growth I can barely handle my 1 inch each month good Lordy. Shout out to Mom cause I would be in shambles XD
I remember when I went 3 months without a retie. It was so early in my journey that I almost had to shave it all off and start over. I ended up just learning how to retie myself via TH-cam and now 12 years later I know that was the best decision I ever made and I’ll never go back to letting anyone else to it. It’s tedious sometimes but it was worth it for me. I love your locks, so full and gorgeous!!
I nearly fell off my chair when you said $1,400.00 for a retie!! Crazy!! Your hair still looks amazing despite the length of time that passed between reties. You've got a gorgeous head of hair girl!! Still can't believe your Mom managed to get it all tidied up and for the most part kept all your locs intact. Superb job!!!
Girrrrrrrrl your hair looks amazing so great! So luscious and pretty! Gooooooooo mom! She is thee GOAT of micro locs. Get your mom like a spa day or something nice to surprise her. :).
Your mom did a wonderful job. I think you should pay your mom to do your hair from now on. Tell her it will be you'll bonding time. Also ten weeks is to long to do reties. When I first started my locs I could go 8 to 10 weeks, but I'm 40 months in and I find that my hair grows faster so I now have to have my hair retie 6 to7 weeks. Girl just beg momma. She loves you. She'll do it.
Also you are the main reason I decided to get my locs! Ive been thinking about it since middle school and you push me over the edge to finally do it. Your hair is gorgeous!!
Yes Houston us full of scammers. The quotes I was getting just to establish is why I DIY'd my locs. Such a blessing your mom was able to repair your locs. They are beautiful!
I was feeling down because I went 13 I think 14 weeks no retie. I just got it done yesterday. I have Sisterlocks btw. But your videos made me feel better especially because of how honest you are in your journey. Tfs. This happens to us all. Life happens. I appreciate you. ❤️
Your locs are gorgeous. Your mom did an amazing job. A sisterlock consultant. Please take care of your locs and get your retightening done. Ease do not neglect your locs...❤️
Your mom did an amazing job! It is nice to see the light back in your eyes. I don't think you should be waiting 10 weeks - see how your hair is growing and once you can do a full rotation make that appointment. You may have to move up to 8 weeks.
Looking at all those locs laying on the counter during your intro had me nervous, but you can't even tell by looking at it. Soo glad you were able to save the bulk of your locs & finally got it all done...your mom is the real MVP!!
omg, when i moved to Houston, i could not find someone to do my sisterlocks, and if I did they were per hr ( my last place was a set price) but I finally found someone who does it by a set price... side not I'm washing this as I just washed and you def reminded me to separate my roots and be lazy with unbraiding... I'm so glad your har is back to how you wanted...
So happy for you , your mom did a great job . Now you know what to do keep that beautiful mane healthy and strong . I believe a lot of people who sees the videos will learn from this experience you've gone through 🖤
Now that your grid is re-established you can go back to the loctician. Just let her know what point system your mom uses when doing your hair. I have sister locs, and I’ve switched locticians before. When they can’t see the grid it just makes it harder for them. But I can 100% say that it would be safe to go to a loctician again, we’ll a affordable one. It’s $225 for my retie and I have over 500 locs. My loctician is also a brand ambassador for sister locs
Your mom did that! It looks great! We can see your scalp again lol Have you thought about retwisting your micros? Just because they are a bit thick and honestly retwisting is quicker. I have well over 500 locs and retwist them and haven't run into any issues.
Glad to see that u are done and see able to keep them. You are one of my microloc inspiration. Shout out to your mom, she’s the real MVP. Can’t wait to see the rest of your journey and what your locs have in store.
@4:07 that’s my question! Thanks for answering. I couldn’t see the grid when you would turn around but when I saw your moms I thought it was crisp. But my eyes are bad so I was like let me just ask. Lol. Great video! I do think you should do braiding and banding. But maybe not like a new loc’d person would… :)
That her really suits you beautifully. I actually prefer them with curly tips (when it looks like braids from a certain distance). I wish I had had your patience and diligence. I gave up on my DIY locs because of the self retie routine... I would put a loc inside another, I didn't have the right tool so I used a Bobby pin... I had to tear my hair and it was a horrible experience.
👏🏾 Your mom is the best! Shame on the SL consultant that did that to you. Will your mom try to fix it? I've been using this part of your journey as a lesson to my niece to keep up on the retightenings if she is really serious about getting microlocs or SL. She sees my SL and says "Oh pretty, I want" without thinking about the upkeep. But I'm rambling, YOUR HAIR IS GORGEOUS, nice big Lions mane.
Wow your hair is back sis, pls set a regular routine for your retie, you are my Microlocs inspiration, I don't wanna learn this inconsistent retie from you😊, thanks to your Mum💕
I'm really happy that you and your mom got your hair back on track. I have a question though one side of your hair looks a bit longer than the other. Has it always been like that?
Thank goodness for your mother. I would pay her double to keep my locs up if i were you. Is there a reason why she was no longer maintaining your locs? Perhaps you can agree to the front and she do the back or something along those lines. Either way, I'm glad you were able to save your locs. I am removing my locs as we speak and will re-do them (either with a loctition or myself) I'm very picky about my grid (OCD) and would take them out but that is me lol. I would encourage your mom to only do reties and not establishments as a side gig because she's good!!!
TyKara my sister is a licensed cosmetologist in Houston. She started my locs and (her & her daughter) maintained them when I was in Houston. I paid her $150 each retighten and you have thick hair like me. She lives on the south side. If you're interested I can send her info.
Mom is the real MVP. No lie, I was disappointed to see that the loctician you saw was actually SL trained. So what was with all that haphazard stuff she was doing at the back of your head? Those locs wasn't in a straight line or nothing. SMH. I know you have DIY microlocs, but that's still not a reason to act like a guided comb won't make a straight line. She definitely could have figured out your "grid" if she really wanted to. Crazy!
Hey, when you started, did you start with two strand twists? I’m trying to figure out how I want to start mine and I love your locs and how they look and that’s how I want mine to look, or close to…bc I know everyone’s locs won’t be the same.
I would love to see the morning and night routine and wash day. When I wash my hair some come a-loose. And is it normal to have long strands of hair with between my locs? WHat I did was used very little loc gel and palm rolled each one . Help. My thoughts were the strands will Eventually lock around the braids other than that I don’t put products in my hair I will moisten my tips they all have a little curl I have soft fine hair
You should have your mum section and braid your hair when you're going to get you next retie since she knows the grid. That way it would be a bit easier for the loctician to maintain your parts.
Girl the scams are everywhere, I'm in Denver and same here! I am combing my locs out because I am SICK of these people and the BS, and half the people here dont know what they doing. So frustrating! lol
I resonate with your mom! Lol, I am also talented with hair, makeup, and nails, but I do not like doing them. I’ll do it for close friends and family, but as a profession? I think it’s my last option
Girl the costs of having someone start and maintain micro locs is why I never got them. But if you don’t mind driving 3 hours to Austin, my kickboxing classmate has a loctician that does her reties for $300. There are a handful of reputable locticians in Austin so you’ll literally come across the same ppl when doing research lol. Shop around for sure.
Ouiiiiii on update new wash routine (o:... and i totally understand why you are not happy with that Lil piece done by the loctician ...it looks a little rough. the little one in front is cuteeeee; your mama did an amazing job
@@TyKaraAnn she also train others. I’m in Atlanta, but I follow a lot of people and she is one I follow. Houston prices are looking like Atlanta prices with these reties and establishments. My friend did my establishment and I just found someone with a set price versus my previous person that would charge per hour after a certain time and based on the number of locs.
Girl when I say I was INVESTED in this story. I was shook when I saw 4 inches of new growth I can barely handle my 1 inch each month good Lordy. Shout out to Mom cause I would be in shambles XD
❤
Lol same !!! I’ve been tuned into each video!!! I’m glad her mom was able to save her hair !!! It’s so pretty !!!
Her mom is definitely the real MVP

Soooo excited that we have finally finished my retie! It took about three weeks, but I’m grateful that we finished before the end of April💕
Congrats on the new hair ❤️. Scalp and everything probably feel allot better !
This was a wild ride! This was similar to Lazy n Loc'd journey. She went 1 year without a retie! I'm glad it all worked out.
Thanks❤️
I nearly fell off my chair when you said $1,400.00 for a retie!! Crazy!!

Your scalp white like mine chi!! Scalp gets no sunlight! I'm so glad for you! Kudos to your Mom! And that lil loc in the front is ADORBS!!
Thank you❤

Who is your loctician in Houston? I'm in Houston.
Who's your loctician?
freedom roots (humble) but she isn't taken new or transfers
So happy for you , your mom did a great job .
Now you know what to do keep that beautiful mane healthy and strong .
I believe a lot of people who sees the videos will learn from this experience you've gone through 🖤

You know you can reattach the locks, it’s easy. Especially since you have options on sizes to reconnect.
❤️
Glad to see that u are done and see able to keep them. You are one of my microloc inspiration. Shout out to your mom, she’s the real MVP. Can’t wait to see the rest of your journey and what your locs have in store.
Thank you❤️🔥
@@TyKaraAnn you are welcome 💖
Yeah I learned my lesson the hard way too about waiting too long in between reties
❤️
Thanks for the mini series 😀 I'm learning so much. your hair looks amazing so glad everything worked itself out.... 🥂here's to new beginning
Thank you so much 🤗

Oh no!
No matter… it looks great! Nothing in life is perfect and your journey is your own. So glad all is well with you and your locs. ❤️
Thank you so much!!
It’s good you kept the locs!!! You can reattach them when hair grows out in those areas ❤️
❤️
Love it…I have sister locks but my hair looks exactly like yours texture and length
❤️

Thank you! I'm glad you are informing your niece of the risk!
Wow your hair is back sis, pls set a regular routine for your retie, you are my Microlocs inspiration, I don't wanna learn this inconsistent retie from you😊, thanks to your Mum💕
I'm so happy to have a second chance!
They still look good God Bless you mom for being able to help you
Thanks!
I really love the size of your locs, it's so amazing considering the size they were at the start
❤️
Love the results. Shout out to your mom. She did a wonderful job. She may need to become a loctician and just call it a day.
❤️
Your locs look amazing!!!!!
Thank you!
Love this update. I def want to see all your new routines.
❤️
I'm really happy that you and your mom got your hair back on track. I have a question though one side of your hair looks a bit longer than the other. Has it always been like that?
Yes, it has! Before I started my locs I decided to give myself a haircut and I did a bad job!
Awwww, it looks amazing 💕💕💕 Your mom is the best!
❤️
I had to take down my back bottom row around month 32. So I have like 14 baby locs in the back.
They have. Matured so well !!! Mine look like this I was curious about your progress and yes I put them in right lol
❤️
You can reattach your locks with the small locking needle
❤️
Oh my goodness they look so good
Thank you!
Thank goodness for your mother. I would pay her double to keep my locs up if i were you. Is there a reason why she was no longer maintaining your locs?

Your hair looks perfect 🥰 .
Thanks!
Aww geesh.. you you see a grid.. you follow it 🤷♀️ lol
Mention that before your next retie 🙏
I love your locs and been following your whole journey to restore your locs to health. Do you plan to start retightening your own locs?
I am still undecided
And this is why I will be cutting my locs off. Too much time and pregnancy did not help... Maybe will try again in a few years
❤️
TyKara my sister is a licensed cosmetologist in Houston. She started my locs and (her & her daughter) maintained them when I was in Houston. I paid her $150 each retighten and you have thick hair like me. She lives on the south side. If you're interested I can send her info.
Yes please! Could you DM me on Instagram (tykara.ann) or send me a email (tykara.ann@gmail.com)
I live in Dallas area I pay $160 for my micro lock retie with a little over 220 small loc within 4 hours
I live in New Jersey but I have been travelling to Atlanta for my install and every 6 weeks for my reties. My reties are $145 and I have 508 microlocs
You are sooo beautiful wow. The locs look amazing
Thank you so much 🤗
Yes please for an updated wash day!!!!!
Will do!

I don't use the sisterlock hook tool when I retightening my clients locs

That's a shame
They will swell. You could use the 3 or 2 prong crochet tool and thicken your smaller (skinny) locs with your own hair.
❤️
I resonate with your mom! Lol, I am also talented with hair, makeup, and nails, but I do not like doing them. I’ll do it for close friends and family, but as a profession? I think it’s my last option

Okay thanks!
Thats alot. I have microlocs and its only 100 for my retightenings but i live in TN
Good work on your locs!
Thank you!!
Awesome ❤️ we live and learn. 🤗

Thank you!
You need to find Ms.Gertrude at Family Braiding!
She's located in HTX?
@@TyKaraAnn yes she is.
@@TyKaraAnn she also train others. I’m in Atlanta, but I follow a lot of people and she is one I follow. Houston prices are looking like Atlanta prices with these reties and establishments. My friend did my establishment and I just found someone with a set price versus my previous person that would charge per hour after a certain time and based on the number of locs.
We want everything updated from you girlfriend 🙂
all the updates
#TeamMom ❤️
❤️
Moms are the best!!
I know she must have said there's no way a loctitian is gonna cut her baby's hair off🤣.
❤️
Me: dayum that's more work than a loose natural 😩😩
Idk $1400 for 35-40 hours of work seems kinda fair 😂😩😬🤷🏽♀️
Not to repair my hair, just a normal retie for hair that has been maintained
