- Hi loves!!! Thanks for tuning in to another video! I wanted to show you guys how I merge loose hair growing around my loc with my matured loc. I wanted to try a way to combine the hair without using the crochet/ instant loc tool because I didn't want to damage my hair on accident. If you're having issue with that, this video is for you!

I just got through my second month with my starter locs
Yay! Happy 2 months locd! ☺️
Step 1 wet hair, step two place your oils or twisting product on next. Dry under a hooded dryer, or of your choice, last remove clips and THEN OIL YOUR SCALP last. If you add water, then oil then water you are creating a negative barrier.
Wow! Your hair looks so thick and beautiful 🤍
Thanks for sharing🤎! You & your locs are so cute! I locksmith sometimes when I retwist too. It helps my retwist last a bit (just a bit) longer
Thanks so much!!! And yes it definitely prolongs the life of my retwist too!
Love this, I think I have been doing this but I had no idea of the name lol. Awesome video.
I just hit my 3rd month with my starter locs and I love them❤️
Yay!!! Happy 3 months and that's great you're enjoying your journey!
Your locs are beautiful !
I love the size and thickness of your crown, you are gorgeous✨ 💓✨
Thanks so much!! 😊😊😊
Love it gurlll 🥰
Thanks so much!!
I only just got my starter locs done today and I can't wait to see what it looks like in 6 month time.
Omgggggg yay!!! Congratulations on starting your loc journey!!!
Yoo how's ur hair going
Great video as always and bomb retwist . I’ve had to do locsmithing to my locs in the front of head I didn’t that was what it was called 👍🏾👏🏾🤗
Thanks so much love!!!
Your locs look real good
Thanks so much!!!
i love how thick your locs are 😍
Thanks love!!!
looks great x
Thank you! 😊
I had a couple of locs that I combined and I used to put a rubber band around them while washing since that’s when my hair tangles the most, and then cut the rubber bands off when retwisting. This really did help them combine within months since I shampoo every 2 weeks.
Oooo that’s a really good idea I’ll have to try this!
I did this lol took about two weeks and now I don’t have to wear the rubber band anymore ! It’s literally the easiest way to combine locs . But I don’t do a regular twist I do a rope twist ! It tangles faster when the water hits it .
Love your locs, starting my loc journey next mth.
Yay! I’m excited for your journey! ☺️
Thanks for showing this slowed down! I always wondered what people were doing but their hands were moving too fast.
You’re welcome!!! Same here haha
thank you so much for this,, my locs are 4 months old now,, but the locs in the middle toward the front always untwist (my hair is shorter than 10 inches) from each other,, but this method has def improved how long they go w/o getting completely untwisted
Yessss glad to help!! ☺️
your hair & skin both look AMAZING!!😍😍 i’ll be 3 months this month :)
Thanks so much! And yay!!!
Waw your hair is so beautiful
Thanks so much love!
baby face !!!! love your hair as well
Thanks so much!!
I had this problem too and retwisting it sometimes didn't work/ it would take so long for the hair to lock back in. I came across a video on Battny's channel called "How to Fix Loose Hairs in Locs: Loc Help" and the method she uses works perfect for me! So if your hair is stubborn like mine, maybe her method could help you too.
P.s. Your locs are amazing and are a similar length and thickness as mine so it's like I'm on the same journey as you
Thanks for the tip! I'll def have to check it out!
You are so pretty and your hair is gorgeous!!! Soooo Jealous!
Awwww thanks so much love!!! 💘
Your skin is top notch
Awww thanks so much!!
Beautiful
Thanks so much!!!
Damn your hair is amazing .
I love the thickness…I’m 6 months in not that yet😫 but hair everything
Thank you!!! And you'll get there!☺️
Hey, I had the same problem. I tried this method, but my loose hair never stayed. I ended up repairing my locs w/ the crochet method. I have had them for 2 yrs and they are still strong.
Thanks for sharing!! I might have to crochet mine too if it continues to unravel
New Subscriber!
Very Beautiful Thick Locks!
Welcome!!! And thanks so much!! ☺️
Cute 🥰
You’re so sweet - thanks for sharing
Awww thanks so much!!!
Hair is beautiful. What do you have attached to ends of your locs? Looks great I want very small loc jewelry added to some of my loc ends. Great info.
Yes love your loc sprinkles too 😍
Thank you!! They are called LOL sprinkles and are tiny beads. I have a video on my channel on how I installed them!
You could crochet those hair into the hair also
Yes! I’m too chicken to use that tool because I don’t want to damage my hair
Thank you for sharing. I, #newsubscriber, enjoyed this video.
Awesome, Thanks for subbing!🥰
you have beautiful, thick hair!
Thank you so much!!
where do you get this music it's fabulous 💯
I love your hair! I'm just starting on this journey. What shampoo and conditioner do you use?
Thank you!! Welcome to your journey. Right now I use design essentials shampoo and conditioner
Where’d you get the loc jewelry for your ends? It’s beautiful
Thank you!!! And they are little beads that are sewn on the ends “loc sprinkles”. Got the from Michaels and I have a video on how I installed them!
hey loved the video, i was just wondering how long you can keep loc sprinkles in your hair.
Thank you! And I still have them in. You can pretty much keep them in until you get tired of them
I’ve had mine in for 2 years.
I came to the comment section just to find out what was in the ends of your hair . :) cute I'm going to look into some
Oh your doing that rolling motion where did you learn that!
I found a video the girl called it locksmith! Lol I just realized you also call it that 😂
It's like a continuous twist where you slide the hair around the lock like tying a knot in a balloon!!!
My suggestion would be to interlock just those locs 2-3 times a year. This happens to my hair by my temple area on both sides on my head. I feel like doing a light interlocking session feeds that hair back in the the loc better then any other method.
Thanks for the tip, I'll def have to try this! They look a little better now, but after a while I'll try this method. Thanks again!!
@@NaomiOnlae and it doesn’t have to be tight either. Just like 4-5 rotations. Enough for the hair not to slip back out. Good luck to you!
Hi naomi!! What is your parting system??💖 much love
Hey!!! I actually didn’t have one but I’d say I was going for brick pattern and box parts! I ended up just grabbing pieces here and there lol
Hey where did you get the balls on the end of your hair and what are they called so cute
I got them from Hobby lobby in the bead section but you can get them from any craft store. I think they are 3mm beads but I’m not sure. I have a video on how I installed them on my channel! 🥰
how did you get those silver decorative dots theyre so cool
Thank you! They’re little beads sewn on the ends “loc sprinkles”. I have a video up on how I installed them!
@@NaomiOnlae oh wow that’s awesome ok I’ll watch it thank you
I just started mine last month the end of the month! I think I'm going to love this Journey! Yes white girls can have them too ✌
Yasss! You're well on your way, congratulations on your journey!
Will the loc smithing that you did come undone if you wash your hair or wet it again to moisturize it? I wouldn’t want to undo all the hard work with just a little bit of water 😩
So it has come undone in the past and I just keep re-doing it. I don't minds since it doesn't take me that long to do. I'm thinking about using a tool to instant loc them, but I want to do more research on it first!
Your locs are DOPE! How many do you have?
Thank you!!! I have 67
Literally got the same hair texture.
Healthy head of hair sis.
Thank you!!!
💜
What amount of time do you leave in the hair clips after loc Smith procedure?
Until my hair feels dry or the clips start to irritate me. Maybe around 3-4 hours!
Ur locs are beautiful I’m locd 8 months THTS WHN I started following u .I noticed whn u retwist u don’t retwist it all the way to the ends is tht how thy get fat because ur locs are very full . And at first I was trying to twist mine to the ends I stopped I hve 40 locs and I definitely want them full . Any tips ? Once again ur hair is beautiful
Thanks so much!!! and I started off retwisting to the ends but I don't anymore because I did want them to be on the fuller side. I think it helped overall! I do sometimes try and roll the flat locs all the way down but I think it might be too late for them so now it doesn't bother me as much!
Does ReTwist patt stay twisted until it locs up or it unravel abit
They do unravel a bit as my retwist gets old but I just twist it right back. I might consider “insta locking” them as well!
What is the name of your hair adornments on your locs (on the ends)? How do you place them there?
They’re called “loc sprinkles”! They are sewn on the ends of my hair. I have a video on my channel that shows how I out them on!
How long do your retwist normally take?
Probably around 45 mins if I concentrate without any distractions!
what are those at the ends of your locs?
They’re called loc sprinkles and are little beads sewn to the ends of my hair. I have a video on it for a more in-depth tutorial
How long do you keep the clips in?
it depends on if I have to go somewhere so at least an hours. But if I don't need to leave the house then around 2 hours!
Wanna try this method, on myself if I can or someone else so I can learn. Where’d you get your microfiber towel?
I have that oil from MelaninHairCare too! I have a different type of oil in it tho. But I LOVEEE that applicator! I use it the same way you do lolll
I’m pretty sure I got the towel from Amazon but I can’t find the link. If you search “microfiber hair towel” it should pop up! And yes! That applicator is everything! Lol
New subscriber, what are the white things at the tip of your locs
Hi there and welcome!!! They are called loc sprinkles and I did a video on how I installed them if you're interested!
What bottle is that with the rose water? I need that spray bottle
I believe this is a hair mist bottle I got from Amazon. If you search that, it should pop up!
How did you put those things at the ends of your loc
They’re called loc sprinkles and are just little craft beads sewn on the ends! I did I tutorial on it for a better explanation: th-cam.com/video/u6YHYL8G8xY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ji0_RMTjDRR7ccxj
Where did you purchase your rose water spray?
I get my spray from Amazon! I know sometimes it's not in stock, but I get like 4-5 at a time.

How long does your retwist usually last?
They last at least a week, more if I style it after I take the clips out. I can stretch it about 2 weeks. I workout 5 days a week so it's hard to keep one lol
So ummm how long do you need to leave the clips on?
I usually leave them in for like 2-3 hours!
How far are you in your loc journey
I just made 2 years 3 month on feb 1st!
How many locs do you have?
I combined some locs so I think it's somewhere around 60 now!
My starter loc twists were done professionally by a braider instead of a loctitian, the woman was kind but She twisted them very tightly, like some pro senagalese twists. When my twists would unravel the 2 strands would be tight coils. I would detangle the coils and retwist them down again, and my hair would be 10x thicker after than tension and tightness was removed. It feels like my hair isn’t really expanding as it should because of that tightness. Like it can look so much thicker and thrive even more, and I would feel really bad if there is something that I can do, yet end up regretting months later. Should I take out all my twists and re do them them looser for them to be thicker? I want my hair to meet its max potential.
Oooooo I’m sorry she did them so tight! Not sure if it’s irritating your scalp (they probably are) but you could try to redo your twists. When your hair starts to loc and get frizzy, they will naturally “puff up”. So it’s really up to you, but your hairs should be extremely tight. I hope that helps!!
Only works for bout 20 mins but that piece of hairs going to stick out momentarily
What’s on your tips?
They are small beads I sewed on the ends of my locs. I have a video on how I installed them, they are called loc sprinkles!

Thank you!! They're little beads I got from Hobby Lobby and sewed on the ends of my locs. I have a video called "installing loc sprinkles" where I do a tutorial on how I put them in!
Ok thank you for the info, I will check out the video.
Loc smithing looks like it puts too much tension on the hair...
