    Hi Ray! Hope you're doing well! I was wondering can I use purified spring water instead of the distilled water to make the loc tonic? I know there's a difference but will the difference matter to the hair if all the other ingredients are accurate? Please advise
    Love you hair, your posts and your videos by the way! I just restarted my starter locs YESTERDAY & I'm excited about this new journey!

    idk how/why your channel came up on my TH-cam...I guess the Algo's. Anyway i have watched some of your vids just to see you (no creep). Your BF is a very lucky guy. BIG UPS on the 100k you deserve it. I don't know much about locs, makeup, spiritual healing and all that but if you ever need any tips on the finance thing hmu..I'd say I'm aaight in that category. good luck on your journey and keep up the good work

  • @PeeMonster
    @PeeMonster 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Aw.. Maybe cutting relaxed isn't totally necessary.. I did my braidlocs on relaxed hair (documenting on my channel) with interlocking (despite really loving twists, they wouldn't fit my lifestyle!).. The goal is to not have to cut off my relaxed.. So far so good.. If I do end up cutting the relaxed parts later once i grow out my natural, I will be okay with it.. But for now they look good and are doing great, and I kept my length on my hair. I already see that my new growth locks far faster lol.. But still grateful I can still wear ponytail for now😸 greats 100k! You always are beautiful

  • @tmcdougal6725
    @tmcdougal6725 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Your locs look AMAZING! Maybe a silly question but I'm asking- when you say you bleach your hair are you using hair color or using actual bleach solution to get that color? I had locs a long time ago but thinking about growing them again. Thanks for sharing your loc journey!👑

    • @vnessaw
      @vnessaw 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      T McDougal she means hair bleach. Definitely not cleaning bleach if that’s what you’re asking. Hair bleach is a similar concept of lifting color but it’s for hair
