    Hi, I also have fine low density hair and U started my loc journey in 2022, so I'm now 2 years and 5 months. I cannot wait to reach 4 years locked because it is my belief that the hair loiks good when you reachb4 years locked. My hair has started looking good at least much better than when I was first locked and it was scalpy very scalp.

    Your hair has brown a lot and it looks sort of like mine. Mine is very thin in the crown still. I'm working on that. I will be locked 2 years come January 2021. I usually wear a center part, but I bantu knot the bands so they will have some wavy body, and then i pin some hair back with a barrette to hide my crown area. Do you ever braid or curl your hair? It's really nice!

    • @kandid898
      @kandid898 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I either do it after washing or when it just needs it. I spray with distilled water if it is not already wet. Then I lightly oil my scalp and rub the oil down my hair good. I then use this method but with the oil mostly. I haven't settled on a conditioner. But it has been so soft since.

      Oh no, yeah, I wore headwraps and wigs when needed. As for loc extensions, I did them myself (twice). I think it really depends on where you live. Are you in a major city? Or do you trust your DIY skills to do them yourself?

    • @Essenceofme
      @Essenceofme  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Erika Dangerfield I’m not sure what you mean by “safe.” I’ve steamed my locs and have a video coming next week with me doing so. I wouldn’t suggest it if someone has “baby” locs or are prone to slippage unless you don’t mind the extra moisture, which may lead to slippage. As for my hair, I love it and my locs feel great. 👍🏾
