I had sisterlocks and agree 100 that it was the best hair decision I made. I then cut them out to experience my natural hair. I went from relaxer to locs so never managed my natural hair. I’ve finally learned what my natural is like and how to maintain it thanks to black girl curls. I miss my locs and my bday gift to me is going back to locs. Enjoy the journey it’s a wonderful experience
Isn’t it such a freeing feeling! I feel like I’ve been a slave to my hair my whole life so I’ve absolutely loved having locs so far, I hope you enjoy your second set and happy birthday in advance 🤍
Beautiful. I just installed my micro locs. My strands/curls/waves looks just like yours but shorter. Goes to show everyone's phases will come at different times. I'm so happy to have started my journey. 💜
I’ve been contemplating starting and doing my own but I was also thinking having a professional start them and I maintain them. Living in Arkansas with few hair resources has been difficult unless I go 3-4 hours away and find a loctician
Hi I highly recommend keeping your braids in after washing until it is fully dry. I also braided my hair very regularly for the first few months. I braided my hair about 2 to 3 times weekly so that I felt comfortable spritzing with water and knew that it wouldn’t unravel. It was a more work but I have had zero slippage.
You are beautiful, and your hair is flourishing! 😀 I love that you were able to take what the stylist said and balanced it against what you believe is best for your hair. Enjoy your journey!
Hi! Found my way here from your Instagram. My microlocs are four months in & I can relate! Enibraids also installed (& maintains) them for me in Lagos, Nigeria. Thank you for sharing ❤️ You’re so pretty and your locs are looking real good.
First thing - makeup on fleek! As always. Just gorgeous 😍 I love watching and listening to you. 2nd, I was about to comment that for 6 months (which technically is when you should have been well into the so-called ugly phase) I could hardly see any frizz. With locs, frizz is GOOD. You want your locs to frizz and shrink (aka become more tangled and compact) because that's the only way you can achieve loc maturity. For your texture, the slippage was expected. I would have braided your periphery after the first slippage, and then interlocked the roots, but different loctitians do things differently. FYI, I don't know about this idea of asking people to avoid water after interlocking. It makes no sense. Locs that will slip, will slip regardless. Plus wetting/washing your interlocks hastens the locing process. The stretch and shrinkage caused by soaking the hair and then allowing it to dry speeds up the tangling/matting process, which is what you want.
Thank you @oluomalocs4964 i looove my locs ❤.I had to loosen and redo my locs after 4weeks (was my fault,cheaper isnt better😢) but my hair looks amazing now. I wish i did more research before starting the process.Eni braids isnt too expensive in hindsight #Abuja #292locs
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE…Oil and spritz your hair… every one hair texture and growth patterns are different and you have to do what’s best for you. I’m on my way to my Sister loc journey and have already made up my mind that I will be oiling and spraying my hair with water because that is what works for me in its natural state already. My hair has maintained its growth and healthiness from doing so without the locks. So I’m sure my hair texture will not change and will continue to grow using the same regimen… Thanks for your honest feedback!
I live in colombia and there is only 1 certified sisterlocks consultant out here and she lives in a completely different state 😩 so flying her out here to get reties definitely gets costly ($375-$400 USD) so I’ve started going 8 weeks between reties. I’m 13 months in and I get slippage around my perimeter bc I workout a lot. I’ve found that keeping my perimeter locs braided in two cornrows going down each side helps A LOTTTTTTT in preventing the slippage. I’m also in the process of learning how to retighten my own hair (at least the perimeter/ areas that are prone to slippage) so I can go longer between reties. Yours are gorgeous !
Stretching out reti's isn't good. The maintenance keeps your locs smooth and even, and it's better for a professional to check it out at regular intervals. BEST decision I've ever made and I will be loc'ed forever! (I have Sisterlocs and they're past my waist, 18 years old, and been cut a few times, so I've been on the journey a while.) My consultant recommended an interval of no more than 6 weeks for reti. I was worried about why my hair looked a little frizzy some years ago, and since we've been maintaining it more frequently, it looks and feels SO much improved! Thank you.
This has really inspired me to finally bite the bullet and go for it! The major thing that was holding me back was that whenever i braid my hair i get very dry scalp and was worried about that getting stuck in my locks, especially with the no water rule but you are right. I will just need to do what is right for my hair! Thank you :) (Oh and I just subscribed too!)
My first retie is tomorrow and in just 4 weeks of experiencing my locs, I've realized that there are lots of rules in the loc community. Too many rules that it somehow defeats the purpose of hair freedom. I also have a very dry and itchy scalp, it can itch so bad that I have bruises. Telling me not to moisturize my scalp for the first 10 weeks that's almost 3 months won't work cause I'd do more damage to my scalp than damage from slippage. I've been spraying rosewater a couple of times a week and applying oil lightly to relieve my scalp. I'm looking forward to my appointment tomorrow so I hear what the loctician has to say about my locs condition. I've noticed a couple of slippage especially on my hairline just like you but I'd know tomorrow. I really need to wash this hair though, I don't think I can wait till 10 weeks before I wash it. Team disobedient gang 🤣🤣
Honestly I think it’s important to find the balance that works for you. I don’t think ANYTHING hair-related should require your personal suffering. Try not to stress too much about the rules and listen to your body I say.
Ive been microlocd for almost 11 months and honestly do whatever works for you and your hair. I’ve used oil since month 2. Water since day 1 and I never had any issues. Of course you can’t drench your hair like you used to but spritzing it everyday (even twice a day) won’t hurt. Remember even though we aren’t loose natural anymore we are still natural with Afro textured hair. Misting Water alone or a little bit of oil is not enough to make your hair unravel
I have the same hair type, pattern, texture and density as you do. Even the same problem areas at the temples and looser in the front, 4a and tighter in the back, 4b. This video taught me so much about what my hair might look like and the problems I may encounter. Thank you for sharing your journey. I have a feeling that oils and moisture will cause the same issues. My strands are very fine even though I have a lot of them so considered medium density. I have mini twists in now as a test. I used curl cream and they stayed well for a week, but I went to a social gathering and sweated along with humidity and when I got home the shrinkage was major and many of the twists had unraveled even though they were so small. My ends look like yours. Have fine, very tightly coiled hair, but product and water elongates them so people mistaken my curl pattern as being more of a 3c vs 4a 4b. My shrinkage is real too. Lol. 😂
Your looks nice, and I like the fact that you know what you need for your hair and you're doing it as time goes on you'll get to know more about it. What I do about the locs at the perimeter of my head is to retie them before the due date, like that, the slippage is minimal.
6 weeks is good! I'm not trying to see my loctition that often! For me would be $120.00 every month! I Retie my own edges myself. My scalp needs an oil. If I don't oil my scalp after washing . It itches like crazy! I use aloe vera juice rose water and purified water
Try Black Jamaican Castor Oil on your scalp after spritzing with water or rose water. If this oil is too heavy for your hair, try argan oil or sweet almond oil. Your hair is beautiful 😍
You should try an anti dandruff shampoo and stop using the oil. This worked for me. No more flakes. I haven't put oil on my scalp for over 10 years. Your hair is beautiful!
Hi, your hair looks great. Follow your page from Jos, Nigeria. I'm due for a retie myself, haven tried and loosened my previous attempts. The first was the traditional comb locs. Then I stumbled on microlocs, this is the second set I've had installed. Had to loosen the first because the sizes weren't consistent. Now I have about 630 ish. And I love them like you rightly said: hair freedom!🎉
Hello 👋🏿 New subscriber here! Thank you for this video! I’ve dreadlocks since 2018 and I’m now considering taking them out and have micro locks! Your videos will help a lot, thanks 🙏🏿😍 Your hair looks amazing 😻
I hope you can keep the one who really teaches you. I don't have sister locs or micro locs. I have 91 locs I am 7 months I had 8 or 9 braids that had to be braided again I am silver and my hair is soft. I am getting ready to get it done I am enjoying it I had three I had to braid . Just be patient when you style let it be simple with not a lot of tension on it. Your beautiful and your hair looks good.
I am approaching 8 months with my locs and I use jojoba oil but I only put it in my fingertips and massage it in. It may be worth a try to do that to put oil on your scalp but they look good.
"Benefits of using rice water in your hair According to St. Bernard, the benefits of applying rice water to the hair include “increased hair volume, better hair shine and appearance, stronger follicles, repair to cuticle damage, dandruff prevention and anti-inflammatory effects on the scalp.”
I'm 4weeks into my microlocs and i did it on relaxed hair, so the edges don't really look the best for me but I'm trying to consciously love the new experience. And though you did yours on natural hair do you perhaps have any special advice for those who had their hair relaxed before locking?
Try T gel to wash your hair. This will minimise flaking, and you won't need to use the oil. I've had no slippage, and I have 4a hair. I wash myself and mist with water daily. I don't use any oil on my scalp, but I haven't used oil on my scalp for about 15 years so it was no biggy.
At those prices you would be better served learning to interloc your hair yourself and doing the edges. That's what I did on my slipping edges and it made a lot of difference.
I'm planning on entering the loc club (still torn between micro and SL tho lol...) I stumbled upon this video during my research. How many hours did it take you to install your locs? BTW, your locs are amazzzzzzzing!!
I’m kinda of nervous about my loc journey. I decided on braid locs and they are mirco however I only have 150. I’m hoping my hair fluffs out. I was always use to having really full hair with my fro’s and stuff. I’m getting discouraged.
Awww don’t be discouraged, figuring out your hair can be very frustrating but one thing I’ll say is I haven’t regretted my decision to loc my hair EVER! And you won’t know if you like it until you try 😊
Hmmm I’m not sure but if you look up locs on relaxed hair you should be able to find something, or better yet I’d book a consultation with a loctician. Good luck 😊
What I was trying to ask are your microlocs twisted or done like sisterlocs? Are your microlocs small or min? I have 4c hair I haven't decided whether I want twisted or not. I like your style so if yours are twisted I like that better I want my hair full.
Instead of you having to travel for maintenance, can your loctitian show you the proper technique to do some light maintenance around the periphery of your hair?
My advice for ppl with slippage issues, start the locs with plaits then twist it out.. the braids/plaits keeps it in place at least better than just twists
Please please PLEASE make sure you get a second opinion from a loctician closer to you. I don’t have sisterlocs but it kind of sounds like she’s trying to juice you for money by having you come in so much and telling you not to moisturize your scalp as needed by your scalp. Obviously if her process is working then good but please make sure this process is actually working for you and your hair and not just working for her ❤️.
Yeah I wasn't comfortable with the that advice to not spray anything not even water when my scalp was clearly dry either. I did another microlocs after this one where I explained what I'm doing now 💕
I Hope this salon gives you a discount for the amount of free publicity they’re getting. Also why does it sound like she’s just trying to get more money out of you?
I had sisterlocks and agree 100 that it was the best hair decision I made. I then cut them out to experience my natural hair. I went from relaxer to locs so never managed my natural hair. I’ve finally learned what my natural is like and how to maintain it thanks to black girl curls. I miss my locs and my bday gift to me is going back to locs.

@@Ifeyinwa what method did you start your microlocs with please?
@@Ifeyinwawhy did you choose the interlock method vs two strand twists?
Locs are your natural hair

Thank you for the recommendation!
If you can't put any oils or spray how do you keep your scalp moisturized?
I have a 'microlocs maintenance' video on this if you'd like to check it out
At those prices you would be better served learning to interloc your hair yourself and doing the edges. That's what I did on my slipping edges and it made a lot of difference.
Happy that worked for you 😊
Some hair needs moisture and hydrations. Because I didnt put anything I had so much breaking and locks breaking.
Tools and rotations matter!
I'm planning on entering the loc club (still torn between micro and SL tho lol...) I stumbled upon this video during my research. How many hours did it take you to install your locs? BTW, your locs are amazzzzzzzing!!
7 hours but I had 3 locticians! And thank you!
I Love your hair! I’m joining the club in December. How many inches was your hair when you started?
Yay congratulations and thank you! I had 10.5 inches to start.
I like your locks I've always wanted them thank you for sharing
You’re welcome!
Thanks for sharing dear.
I am a new subscriber. Your loc is beautiful. May I ask what method did you start with?
Was it two strands twist or plain?
Hey! And thank you so much for subscribing - I started my locs with the interlocking method, I showed a clip of this in my first microlocs video x
I’m kinda of nervous about my loc journey. I decided on braid locs and they are mirco however I only have 150. I’m hoping my hair fluffs out. I was always use to having really full hair with my fro’s and stuff. I’m getting discouraged.
Awww don’t be discouraged, figuring out your hair can be very frustrating but one thing I’ll say is I haven’t regretted my decision to loc my hair EVER! And you won’t know if you like it until you try 😊
Here watching
Have you ever been relaxed. How long into transitioning should I wait to loc
Hmmm I’m not sure but if you look up locs on relaxed hair you should be able to find something, or better yet I’d book a consultation with a loctician. Good luck 😊
Being worried that the same thing would happen to me..but it's important to know know what type of hair you have
Don't worry! Mine's settles completely now!
If you are willing, you can learn to retie your own hair...even if its just the stubborn slipping ones
Beautiful!
Thank you 😊
I live in Bedfordshire area.. I’m trying to find someone near to start my journey.. but may have to travel to be travelling into london 😭
Awww did you have a look on the Sisterlocks registry?
When you had your locks installed, we’re they tight on your scalp?
Not tight, but sore if that makes sense. I had to take a painkiller, but it was fine after a couple days.
I've never heard a loctitian advise not to put anything in your microlocs. Do you braid and band when washing?
yes, I braid and band
Since you have microlocs how are your ends done snd how many locs you have?
I don't understand your first question but I have 548 locs
What I was trying to ask are your microlocs twisted or done like sisterlocs? Are your microlocs small or min? I have 4c hair I haven't decided whether I want twisted or not. I like your style so if yours are twisted I like that better I want my hair full.
Hi, Lola here. Can you pls recommend a loctician for microlocks? Inspired by your video. Xoxo
Hiya I've linked all the locticians I've used in the description box
I’m still learning but you use sisterlock and microlock interchangeably but they are distinct. But you have sisterlocks, correct?
Hiya I have microlocs, Sisterlocks are a trademarked term for microlocs style from what I understand
Instead of you having to travel for maintenance, can your loctitian show you the proper technique to do some light maintenance around the periphery of your hair?
Honestly at this rate I think that's what I need to do. Thank you hun.
Did you do two strand twists or braidlocs?
It will fall in time. Blowing drying before the install wasn't necessary. Because when you wash it... natural hair shrinks
Please when you go for retie do they pick the locs one by one? It will be so time consuming
Yes they do, my reties take about 3 hours so it's not too bad
How did you start your locs? Interlock or two strand twist
Interlocks 😊
My advice for ppl with slippage issues, start the locs with plaits then twist it out.. the braids/plaits keeps it in place at least better than just twists
Great tip, thanks!
Beautiful locs
Thank you so much 😊
They are beautiful and so are you
Awww thank you so much 💕
Just started my journey I’m lost on my loc time
My retie time
Wash time
N what slippage is?? Help
I explain and show it in the video, it’s when your locs start to unravel 😊
Werw your micro locs started with twists or braids?
Hi, I like your hair. Where in uk did you have it done please.
Thank you
I’ve linked them in my description box
Beautiful 🌺
Thank you! 😊
Did you start off with 2 string twist?
No I started with interlocs
I have done this before
Beautiful
Thank you x
Hi! How do u keep the ends curly?
Hey, I actually don’t do anything. My hair has always had a very tight curl pattern and my locs are still not fully matured yet so maybe that’s why.
Please please PLEASE make sure you get a second opinion from a loctician closer to you. I don’t have sisterlocs but it kind of sounds like she’s trying to juice you for money by having you come in so much and telling you not to moisturize your scalp as needed by your scalp. Obviously if her process is working then good but please make sure this process is actually working for you and your hair and not just working for her ❤️.
Yeah I wasn't comfortable with the that advice to not spray anything not even water when my scalp was clearly dry either. I did another microlocs after this one where I explained what I'm doing now 💕
How many locs do you have

Wow! I started last Saturday with 214
I Hope this salon gives you a discount for the amount of free publicity they’re getting. Also why does it sound like she’s just trying to get more money out of you?
Wait.. so she said,"no oils, no spray,but come back more often". That's a lot of money.
Tell me about it!
