In the comments she said she used healing oil from Taliah Waajid and peppermint oil while the hair is still damp for moisturizering. Just in case you all still cant find it.
Thanks. I had just left a comment asking her about that. The clients scalp looks really good. I had to know. Happy New Year to you.
Ok..for moisturizing...but did she use TW tighthold also? Because its listed as a "commonly used" product. ?????
Paige Dyer my guess would be no to tight hold because she said all she did was moisturize and that’s a holding product that sounds similar in function to gel, which the client doesn’t want.
I was looking just now lol. I started my boyfriend's locs last week after watching a few comb coil videos and I realized I had no idea how to wash or redo them.
That's the best oil, smells amazing taliah waajid, I'm on my journey 3 wks now I'm loving it. Bless up
Look people, do not allow these stylist to bully your hair. If you tell them what you do not want and they refuse your request, exit the building immediately. 🙅🏿♀️🚶🏿♀️🚪
Tell em Tye 😂
Lol I just don't get it.
True 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very true if she can’t do what you want leave🤷🏽♀️but with locs I choose to use acv or lemon juice I don’t shampoo because they have alcohols. I prefer a light acid and water what Rasta used shampoo????
I agree...I've always had my hair bully...they never seem to do my hair the way I wanted it and their hair ALWAYS looked the BEST
Thank you for being so classy and not bashing that stylist. I hope she sees your channel and takes away some best practice tips from your great work. 👍🏽
I get this cream from this lady...shes the best. She makes all natural products and have this part beeswax part Shea butter for locks, curls and waves, check her out on IG @nursebettycares I think.
Great video.. Ms. Tiff, you like super Gorgeous!!!!
What products did you use to shampoo & conditioner and moisturize her hair?
My mother always tell me..not all hands are good for your hair...been faithfully going to my hairstylist for over 10 years or i do my own hair...shes Haitian too😊😊
your mom is a wise woman
TL Brown damn I was gonna sat my mom tell me the same thing because she’s Haitian. Then I read yours is Haitian too.
At 26 I can name every person who has been in my head. I started my loc process 5 months ago and people always ask me why I don't switch locticians 😒 I trust her process and it's working. She always has my hair laid, uses natural products and I don't have any build up. Plus my hair is growing and she's cheap! A negative is she is pretty fair and her schedule is tight!! And I wasn't too fond of her parting system at first, but I think it's going to be worth it in the end.
TL Brown she wasn’t lying I’m upset I just let somebody else twist my hair and she pulled a lot of my hair out smh
Tbh I only let my mom or two other people do anything with my hair. My mom does hair my well and my other two friends are Haitian and the other is jamaican
The fact that the stylist combined her locs without telling her burns me up!! This is exactly why I do my own hair instead of going to a “stylist” bc they just do whatever they want. BUT I will say, I enjoy the way you do locs! Your patient and you know what your doing! Stylists like you are few and far between! 😩
Me too , I hate a stylist redoing my lines by combining 😭
This is why I do not use gel. I am scared of the build up. Thanks for telling me about the clip placement. I have started to retwist my own hair and I was placing my clips on my roots.
If you use an antiseptic before you was it and let it sit for 15 mins, you will not get buildup. Even with gel and wax use, fyi.
@@stephaniecoachman2583 hey who told you that. Do uou mesn hand gel
@@catrinad2491 im a cosmetologist
@@stephaniecoachman2583 antiseptic on what?
My 10 year old is 2 weeks into her loc journey, and this video has shown me I am fully capable of retwisting her hair. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
It's intimidating the 1st retwist right?!
This was great! I've been natural for 20+ years locing for 15. This stylist is Very knowledgable- This woman knows hair! Great Video.
Personally, I love the messy look. However, I would still prefer a stylist as yourself because you listen to what the client wants and you deliver.
I know, I kinda thought they both looked good in their own ways. I just thought the messy look made them LOOK more like locs but from the comments I seem to be wrong lol 🤣 oh well, you did a beautiful re-retwist on her locs and thank you for all the wonderful advice.
I did too. Lol. But to each their own
It’s officially about to be a month since I got my hair done into locs and I’m gonna be washing and retwisting it myself. I’ve been watching a bunch of these videos and wanted to thank you for being one of ‘em. What y’all do is so helpful 🙏🏾 bc I’m mad lost 😂
We're in the same boat
Glad I could help 🥰🥰🥰
make some room cause i’m in this boat too! i’m about to do my first wash and retwist tomorrow, how did it go for you guys?
I needed this video!! I started my daughter's locs and I'm maintaining them. I didn't want to palm roll them and only retwisted the new growth. But that has her locs looking really bushy. Now I know to twist all the way and secure the whole loc. Thanks so much!!
Yes. I did the same mistake. This video was very helpful for me.
This momma made the same mistake. Now I know what I need to do to get baby girls' locs less weedy looking. Good content
I was doing the same thing🤦🏽♀️
LOVE how thorough your work is. Your integrity to do what the client wants is commendable.
It's sad, I've had so many stylist combining my locs with out telling me. Your retwist without gel looks better than these others with gel.
This has really confirmed with me to stay away from gel. Oil and water is the way to go. Thank you sooo much for explaining this.
Do you have an oil you recommend?
@@deztynibrooks4597 a lot of ppl say peppermint oil
Coconut oil with light water or any other natural oil.
@@ranmaruthompson930 damn can't use that Protein on my hair 🥺
@@deztynibrooks4597jojoba oil
I’m in the process of getting locs. I’m glad you clarified you can wash your hair every two weeks. I’ve been natural for years and I was my hair once a week.
I remember when I first got my hair twisted, the lady used the jam that’s in the black container, it took like two washes to get it out but by the 4th Wash I was still seeing gel so I just combed out every starter lock and went to someone else. Now I’m 4 months in and doing way better
Jam as in like for bread
@@ncamyd1218 no jam as in jel
@@praise2111 *gel
Wow, I never knew you could achieve this look without the gel, I just assumed it was needed to keep the hold. Thank you for sharing!
I have sisterlocs and I always get compliments for how healthy and full my hair looks. So I moved from caring for my own hair to having my stylist send her clients for me to start and maintain their sisterlocs and they are always shocked and pleased with how little products I use and the tips healthy hair care tips I give them between maintenance appointments. I must say; everything I know about locs comes from conscientious TH-camrs like yourself.
Thank you.
I really appreciate you and the schooling that you have given me. I'm new to the lock world and actually have been using gel on myself and clients. Now as the older people say " you know better and do better " I'm on it...again, thank you and your client!!
She said “I didn’t even ask who it is cause I didn’t wanna know” lmaoo 😂😂
Thank you so much for showing the impact of gel on locs, I’m always trying to explain to my clients that gel and waxes really aren’t the best for locs and can lead to build up and breakage.
It’s great to see other hair related youtubers who are sharing good information about proper care! I’ll be sharing this for sure!
GlamFam I just started the process with two strands twist and I have already retwisted my hair twice with water and oil but I feel like my new growth is not twisting, is it normal?
lisette Pokam depending upon the amount of new growth, yes, as well as the palm rolling technique.
GlamFam thank you!
I want to start locking my hair but my nape area fell out bad. Friction I think but i need help p
Your voice is so calming
aw Thank you
yes it is
Finessed BY Fee agreed
Adamandeve
That's ASMR
Thank you so much for these. I’m so happy I found you years ago when I started doing locs. All of my clients have happy healthy hair and scalps because of you. ♥️
Can you please tell us what you use. Thanks.
Be thankful the woman didn’t use beeswax. Second it is hard to find someone to trust when it comes to your hair. It is harder find a good stylist than it is to find a good gynaecologist. Finally her hair is so beautiful. She is lucky she has found someone who loves and respects it as much as she does.
Oonagh72 amen. I wish I can find a good loctician in the DMV area
Yes
Absolutely beeswax or gels are horrible for locs
DaRealHBIC check out Bee Williams on Facebook. She’s located in the temple hills area
@@brittfamilyfun so, if you don’t use gel, or wax, (even the good brands) what are you supposed to use to help lock it in? Nothing?
Wow once you washed her hair it looked better already ❤️❤️👍🏾
I do wash my hair every two weeks. I didn't my first time having locs, widely because of the she reasons you explained. I didn't know. Now, because I'm subconscious of my hair smelling and the gel I do wash it. Thanks young lady.
This is an absolutely amazing! I always thought and was taught that u need to use gel or locking gel for a retwist. I’m and delighted to know all I need is a good wash and moisturizer and my retwist can still come out professional looking. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad to have watched this, your channel has been an eye-opener. Now I know why my first set of locs had so much build up. Now that I'm starting again, I know to keep it simple.
I freaking love your vids. I also am a loctician and you make it so much easier for me to enhance my craft. Thnx
You are such a good loctician! Happy to have you in the TH-cam loc community :D
Thank you so much
Professionalism at its best. Love your work.
I am sooo thakful that I saw this video before retwisting my hair. I am 3 months in and I've been using locking creame wax. I've washed 3 times, basically when my scalp starts to itch and I haven't have any real issues so far but to know that I don't have to use wax or get and can use just moisturizer to retwist, I am so happy. Thanks for helping all of us what to do and what not to do when it comes to loc care. I know we all appreciate this. Pretty pissed that the stylist she went to was mad lazy. Even when I was starting my own, I wanted to be lazy too but I kept marching on lol. Grranted, they aren't even but they are all of similar size. She shouldn't be a stylist if she is going to be that lazy. Keep doing what you are doing one head at a time sis! one love.
After being natural for six years I'm starting my locs for the 3rd time this Saturday. I'm so excited thanks for sharing your talent. Wish I could drive from Tallahassee
Brittany Miller I just started mine 7/12/2018. Im in Tallahassee too
Taneka Register Cool who'd you let start your locs?
Rabirah Thomas in Valdosta. But I don't want to travel every time so i'll be going to a place on Apalachee pkwy. In the same plaza as Ross. There was a girl a Payless that had beautiful locs and said she got hers twisted there.
Taneka Register That's naturallyU. They do good work but I don't like their attitude. Ronald Burrell is great he's at Ablaze also on Parkway
Where are you located?
the best and most humble loc channel on youtube. glad i found you
I started my sons locs about 4yrs ago. He is 8 now...I usually go 3mths in between retwist. His dad decided to take him to get his hair twisted which was fine. Until I seen what she did. She doubled some of his locs even though they were the perfect size. I honestly thought I waited to long until I watched your video! Thankfully the separation didnt hurt to bad.
Wow I love her hair and just with the 6 months she sees such a significant amount of growth! I'm using your videos to learn to retwist and you make it look so easy. Thank you for your patiences and dedication.
I’m still on the fence, but this video is helping me make up my mind. My hair in its natural state is fairly long, so it just seems like a lot of work starting off. Wish I lived near you!
Thank you for this post and having integrity when taking care of your customers.After listening to your pointers,I will have to find someone else with the same level of knowledge and professionalism as your to help me continue my loc journey.I am 4 months in and my loc maintenance person only clips by the roots and doesn't twist my hair all the way to the end.
Thank you soooo much for posting this. I recently retwisted my boyfriend’s locs and I used product (watching other TH-cam videos and being ignorant) I don’t do hair or anything I was just doing him a favor but this really helped. Now he can stop going to other people
I'm tryna tell you her hair is LOVELY!!❤❤❤
Her locs look beautiful! I can’t wait to try this on my hair. I think the clip placement is going to make a BIG difference on my hair! Thanks for this video 🙏🏽
Phenomenal work! Her growth is fantastic.
Thank you so much! I’m not sure if this is an old video, but you have helped my because I just literally decided to loc my hair 😊
It's nice. I started my baby locs with 2-strand twists then interlocked for a while and now just twisting. To wash my starter locs I simply used a large stocking cap. My hair locked relatively quickly, just surpassed 1 year.
What do you mean by interlocked them..curious I started my son with 2 strand twists and seem to not want to stay twisted when I retwist them .I be having to put 3 4 clips on 1 twist to hold it
Besides myself, you are the ONLY person that I’ve seen not use product to retwist and/or twist with your finger to the ends. 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Excellent video! Your work is stunning, her hair is gorgeous. Thank you for setting the standard. 😊
Thank you for this video! I had a very similar experience with a stylist. After watching this I decided to do my hair myself with no gel or product. My retwist came out looking great thanks to you showing me how it should be done correctly. I'm 5 weeks into this journey and now feel more confident than before that I will stay loc'd!!
Merciless Prodigy I only used Olive oil and water! Her technique on clip placement is key. I sat under the dryer for about 30 minutes when I was done.
I know she was so happy to have that fixed!!! I would have been so upset!! 🔒👑😍
Janet- GatHouse Fitness trust me I was!
Pedelie Francois-Wings craziness right. Glad she got you back on track!!
Hey Mrs. Janet!!!! LOL!
Thank goodness she has been coming to you in between her washes! Her hair is so healthy and beautiful. If she would have kept going to that stylist, the outcome could be a different! Thanks for sharing!
I use jamaican mango and lime and I never had build up my locs. They’re pretty thick plus I have 4c texture. Locs can be delicate and not everyone knows the right techniques to handle them I think.
Very professional stylist very thorough . You are amazing . Great to see another fabulous stylist
You are amazing! Excellent work! You can tell you take pride in your work and really care about your Clients hair Wow a brilliant retwist!....👌🏾yep JML did exactly that to my hair left build up and was terrible to get out 🤦🏽♀️. Now I just use oil to retwist it’s the best decision I have ever made about my Locs.
Less is definitely more! I’m so happy your client found you if she didn’t over a period of time the product would have built up in her Hair and added extra weight and would have eventually caused thinning.
What oil did you use to retwist her hair please? her hair looked so groomed and shiny! 👌🏾
Thanks for sharing stay blessed! 🙏🏾❤️😊
😍😍❤️❤️💙💙I totally agree!!! I have a few locs put together b/c the girl i use to go too was being lazy! Now I got some big and some small and I can’t get them apart now!!! Now I’ve been doing my own hair and it time consuming but so worth it! I wish I had you as my hairstylist 😢❤️Btw.. great job in this video so clean and beautiful 😍
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
That's exactly why I have not gone to a stylist to do my hair. That whole combining my locs without my permission is some bs.
I just came up on this vid and I really appreciate you sharing. I haven't shared much of my journey/process or anything since I started my locs. I just go through my own lil world of hair.. I think I got here (video) through the "how to fix frizzy ends" vid. Either way thank you!
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
When I had my locs in I had a lot of build up. Then I saw a video, on youtube of course, where this lady used Ajax lemon dish soap. Since Ajax is a degreaser its suppose to help with all the gunk that gets trapped in your locs. So I used it. And when I tell youuuu that it took out that build up. It. took. it. out! That water was soooo dirty. I didn't realize all that was in my hair. BUT! You do need to follow up with a shampoo that is designed to put moisture back in your hair and oils to condition and keep it moisturized cause that Ajax will strip your hair. Its not an everyday method but do it once every few months. Love your videos by the way. Just found you today 😊 I don't have my locs anymore but I am thinking about putting them back in.
I learnt how to loc 8 years ago from you! Awesome job always, my baby’s loctician was using gel and am happy to come across this. Will be doing them from now on…
That hair wash...looks like it feels soooooooooooooooooo freakin GOOD!🤪😴
Wow...I didn't even notice the beautiful color on her hair at first with all that gel. Great job. I wish I could come to you to get my locs retwisted.
Blessed hands n you do do something most ppl don't... you care. Great job. 👊
Awesome work. I couldn’t sleep until I came across your video. You have a calmness about you that helped me de stress. Thanks and blessings be upon you sis.
I So Wish you were in Ga.
I would come when I don't feel like doing my own.
Great job.
AKIYIAKELLY 🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️ me too!
AKIYIAKELLY ok
I was appalled at the idea that a loctician would take it upon themselves to do as they will on someone’s head. Thank goodness she found you. Wish their were more like you
Her hair is beautiful. Great vid. All gels are not equal lol I do recommend you try Evolving Textures "O" Gel. It's water and oil based. No residue, full of vitamins and smells amazing. Excellent for locs.
Absolutely. Not saying all gels are bad. I have clients who prefer to use gel. I personally don’t need or use any and some clients are the same way.
@@DXlocs sooo....are you going to fill us in o what you use outside of gel so we can do this the right way?
Thank you so much for your video. And pointing out how so many products will cause build up. I am often annoyed by the oversell of lock 'products'. Less it more along with proper maintenance you showed.
So happy I came across your channel I'm starting my locs on my birthday I was thinking to go to someone but I really want to start my own journey this video is so helpful
Should I start my own locs or go to a professional ?
I was raised to be particular about who gets in my head so I learned how to do a lot of things. After watching this video I would trust you in my hair
I’m going to be moving out of state soon and I’m anxious to have to find another loctison out here cause people are really just treating locs like it’s anything :( it’ll be like starting a new long term relationship all over again. Wish me luck🤧
Lovely locs btw💚
I never used gel in my hair ever since i went natural six years ago now ill be getting my starter locs next week can't wait ❤️
You got this 🥰🥰🥰
@@DXlocs yesss i know my hair is in the middle of my back so i know the shrinkage is real for me 😂
You make it look so easy I. Can’t wait to learn how to do my locs
Thank so much cause people had me think that I couldn't wash my locs that often!! So I wash it every 3 weeks, and I just washed it today!! and retwisted it without any gel!! while was still wet! and twisted two locs together!! like you do..anyway I see how long it last without!! the gel in it.
that is sad when you're paying someone to do your hair, and they mess it up. I hope she's able to continue to come to you or learn to do them herself.
Check out my 6 month loc update.

Thank you so much for this video, I plan to start my loc journey this week and can't wait for the process😊💜🙏
You can do it!
I watch the ads only for your channel so u can get DAT $$$😂😝
you're a real one lol! Thank you!
You only contribute money if you click on it. Not sure HOW anyone even gets money this way but yea you gotta click.
I ain’t know that’s how it worked lol
I didn't know that either so watch the ads all the way thru?
ImmoralJester You don’t have to click on them. It depends on the amount of time it was watched/viewed.
Thank you sooooo much fur this video
I am new to locs--- my 4yr old grandson's locs look awful, his mother's uses that Jamaican gel stuff on his locs
I will diligently, patiently try to correct the awful build up on his hair
Maybe saturating his hair with a good hair oil..... allowing it to remain in a few days... then a few shampoos
Then re-twisting without the gel
I retwist without gel myself too... my hair is "different" lol and doesn't do well with products. 😂🤣
Also, I love watching your videos, it's satisfying and I love your voice. Relaxing and chill
What shampoo do you use when washing locs?
Thank you for this video, I am just starting off and didn't really get the clear advice from my stylist. Thanks again
I'm mad. My boyfriend had a friend start his locs and I was re twisting them for him and all of the sections are different sizes. In the back they are huge rectangles and up top the are triangles squares and all different sizes... I think she got tired near the end and said f*ck it.
Is there a way we can start it over without cutting them off?
I am in Love with this no gel twist... I just started my Nephew locks and I use Softee styling gel.. he has real fine hair... But imma give this a try.. I saw the one u did on ur son and now this one I think I'm hooked.. u r amazing at what u do and thanks for sharing 🔥🔥🔥
Hey dxlyn locs I’ve been watching your buds for about a year and I luv them.i have had my locs for a month and I wanted to know if u can plz make a vid on maintaining and washing starter locs☺️🙂
5:53 i literally used mango and lime jaimaican locking gel yesterday
12:25 look at that beautiful African hair!
Jairo Acosta so nice to see a brotha commenting positively on blk hair!
I just saw a video from a woman doing locs on her client and she said she loveeees to use gel
Next month i will also have locs and no one on youtube is saying or doing the same things so from now on i’ m following u !
Thank u ❤️
Thanks so much for this vid. I started my sis locs wirh that Jamaican mango and lime gel and I totally regretted it, so much build up.
Thank u. I have 3 week old starter locs & the lady who did my hair told me i couldnt wet/wash my hair until it locs… Its no where near being loced & i was thinking what if it takes a year to loc? I cant wait that long lol. I will be washing/retwisting my own hair on my 4 week loc a versary lol. Thank u so much this video gave me the confidence i needed
This is great 🙌👏 What products did you use for moisture?
Most helpful maintenance video on TH-cam.
I’m obsessed with these videos even though I’m not growing dreads 😩😂
I liked and subscribed. this is the first video i have watched in my journey to the dreads transition🤗🤗 thank you for all your tips!
I’m so glad I seen this before using gel
You're a natural born hairdresser. Love the way you care for your clients. If everyone did this, noone would be doing their own head. Would gladly pay for your services 😉. Integrity is everything 👌.
They are beautiful. I'm definitely going to just retwist with oil and water? What's the best oil to use? I'm thinking of using castor oil.
I’m so thankful for this channel ♥️‼️
I have been looking for a vid like this for forever where the stylist doesnt use anything on the hair. I have learned the hard way about gel and have been struggling to find out what i should do to maintain them. Long story short this is my third time trying to loc my hair and was ready to give up before i say this video. Thank you for posting. Much appreciated! My only question would be is it going to moisture the way i normally would, which is with leave in conditioner, water, and oil, or should i stick with oil and water?
Rose water instead of regular, water and oils dont mix..no leave im conditioner anf as least oils as possible, try to stick to lighter oils like extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil when mixing with the rose water
It's nice to see stylists that care it turned out great !🥰
Can we please have an update 🤞🏾. Didn't see one on chanel. Id like to see her progress!
