What made/makes you anxious about starting locs? For me, it was definitely the washing process. With my first set of locs, I always worried about them unraveling and not looking nice. When I started freeforming with this second set, I learned how to wash and my anxieties went away!
my biggest thing is the confidence part. i know it’s not good to retwist too often, so i’d have to get comfortable not always looking “clean” or “well kept” but i also think that is an exciting challenge that i will embark on one day. for now though, i can’t give up my twists, braids, and fro 😂😭
@@r0ughdraft The interlocking method might be good for you in between twists! You can touchup the roots by pulling the loc thru itself to tame the new growth lol
I’ve had my locs for almost three weeks now and I love them! They’re small and I have 148 of them, I’m nervous that they might be too small and I might have to combine them later. But I love your locs and I want to only retwist once every four months so I just wash twice a week and separated them. Can’t wait for them to grow! And quick question, do you oil your locs or no? Cause other semi freedomers I watch don’t and I’m not sure if I should or not.
@@CheyenneRaine Congrats on starting your journey! You might be surprised with how they thicken up after maturing, but combining them yourself is always an option.
I use oil very rarely because my hair seems to do fine without it, and I wash with black soap, which is made of multiple oils and nutrient-rich ingredients.
Washing once a month works for me. If you’re washing multiple times a week, it may be drying your hair out depending on your hair type. Oil after washing can be good for nutrients, so if you feel like your hair needs that, definitely listen to it!
@@AmberLoryn Thanks! I might have to ease up on the washing, don’t want to dry them out too much.
This helped a bunch this deserves more recognition 👏🏽
I’m glad! And thank you 🙏🏽
I found this very helpful.
I wish I saw this video a couple months ago lol damn, but this eased a lot of my fears thank you!!!
glad you found it!
Your locs have been started so simple, low mantainance but are so beautiful & unique, I like the colour ( suits your skin tone, do you do some hair styles?
Thank you so much! The only style I do is an occasional braid out. I don’t like spending too much time manipulating them
Washing the locs is cool, but what about the build up on the scalp?
Question, in the first stages of ur locs, how did you deal with frizz, love your vids btw! Keep it up! ❤️
Thank you! Honestly, I just embraced the frizz lol but I can imagine that a bit of oil on your locs would help lower the amount of frizz. It’s likely that with freeform/ semi freeform that you’ll deal with frizz at least for the first few months. But I still have frizz to this day LOL
Did you only sponge your hair once when you started your loc journey? also great video :)
I only used the sponge once throughly for about 30-40 min just to start them. And thank you!
How often did you wash your locs in the beginning stages?
Nice video! I love the way your hair drops and the thickness of your locs. What do you do now? You just leave it or do you go to the salon and get retwists?
she said in another vid that she doesnt maintenance at all besides washing and drying, also a little bit of oil
This was so useful thank you ❤
Thanks for this! Very helpful. Gonna have to subscribe to you for sure. Awesome locs on a beautiful human 😅
When you were still using the sponge After washing your hair I assume it started hanging so what did you do about that and how did you dry it
I only used the sponge one time to start the locs. Every time i washed or rinsed my locs, they fell which is what I wanted them to do so that was all good for me. I always used a towel to thoroughly dry after washing and rinsing
I started my journey yesterday and washed my hair today and some of them unraveled and i normally sponge them bck in but today I didn’t and it felt weird.But im hoping that my locs loc up pretty fast and i hope my mom doesn’t catch on cause she is pretty strict on how my hair is supposed to look
Did she catch on 😂?
@@Officialm1foe nah I decided to start them some other time
I did a sponge method also but I feel I sponged to the point where it's too small..should I just not sponge for a while and allow hair to combine? @Amber Loryn
Yes a lot of my locs would be much smaller if I did not let them combine. I only recommend sponging once to get them started then letting them do what they want
@@AmberLoryn thanks Queen, I appreciate the advice
What ´s your skincare pls ?
Gm how long can u use a twist up comb? I ask too because it look like a lot of people go to a locktician after their 3 or 6 month period and I just want my hair looking decent
I've been usin a twist sponge to section off my 3c/4a hair and wanted to just wash and separate. I'd say I have a sensitive scalp and try to wash at least once a week, but more so every 3 days. Should I give my hair a few weeks to do it's thing? Or can I go ahead and wash my hair and not expect them to completely restart
since you’ve used the sponge your hair should stay in its sections pretty well. they may try to combine but that’s about it 👌🏽
I have like a week or two without washing my hair and I don’t have a stocking cap just a dread cap is it ok to use that to wash it’ll my hair with it I just don’t want it to unravel
Where u washing ur locs every single day?
i rinse daily and wash with soap monthly
@@AmberLoryn ok thx
I’m currently in my first week of sponging should I wash them the second week or wait a month or a couple of months like others say? I have 3C - 4c hair
My hair is super wavy sometimes curly I have freeform but I havnt washed my hair yet I'm kind of scared does this also county for people like me with wavy straight hair ?
You think a daily rinse and air dry is a bad thing ?
i’ve personally been doing it for almost 6 years and my hair is healthy. it’s been a good thing for me 🙏🏽
@@AmberLoryn thank you ! I don’t know why I needed confirmation but I’ve been doing so as well since I have 4c hair type🙇🏾♂️
I've been sponging my hair four 4 days. Me(being dumb)put oil on my scalp without any type of water. At this point my hair was separated in their own parts plus I had finger twisted them. I decided to just give up on semi freeforms and focus on the health of my hair. After I washed my hair I noticed that even though the baby freeforms were wet and soft they were still in the same parts(of course it looked messy)for now I think imma just let my hair do its own thing and not sponge it or nothing
you have the right idea 👌🏽 once they have their parts you can let them do their own thing. i’m sure they’ll turn out great!
Why do you sound like ice spice
😂
