Surprisingly ,oil retwist gave me the best hold, better than gel. Yes, it was Jamaican black castor oil😅
I love how organized this video is. 😍 The time stamps in the description, no rambling. Instantly subscribed!
Yay! Thank you!
Listen this is why I chose a trusted loctician and I’m sticking with her . I’m not remembering all
Of this she can tell me. The way I was with my natural free flowing hair is the way I will be with locs. Regular maintenance 😂😂 no time or patience but thank you sis for the awesome
Info
I can't even use oil in my hair (flakes and itches). I simply wash with Dr. Bronners and air-dry. (My hair is healthy and bra strap length)
yesss I've noticed when I use *too* much oil the same thing happens. less is def more!
Less Than 1 week into my Journey and this video is one of my 5 Favs 😍
This was thorough. Wish I had seen it before I started my micro locs 21 months ago. Fortunately for me I did do the research you suggested. I even installed my locs for a month then took them down and made smaller parts. It has worked for me!!! I really wanted to retwist but my locs taught me I don’t have that kind of patience. Interlocking for maintenance is pretty permanent. I can get up and go swimming as soon as I finish. My hair is a combination of 4C and 4 B hair strands or so I learned as a loose natural. As a loc’d person I think I discovered some 4 A strands as well. The difference in textures makes interlocking or retesting my maintenance go to. To keep my locs relatively even after my first year i rolled bumps and bulges between my finger tips and applied a little pressure as I roll. My locs are still sized differently throughout my head but most of them are cylindrical and not lumpy which helps get the ends of the loc through the retightening. Hope this makes sense. Jamaican Black Castor oil was the GOAT for my loose natural hair and my locs respond to it well. No coconut oil for me or jojoba oil. They do nothing. Grapeseed oil and argan oil are also excellent. Peppermint oil and sweet orange oil are faves to add to water.
Wonderful video. I’m a new subscriber.
Thank you for addressing the need to have a positive, embracing attitude about locs.
Your video has been the most informative about locs you covered it all. The good, bad, and don'ts. But "do you" thank you.
Your hairstyle is everything 🤌🏽❤
I have 3a-3b and I got my starters and I want to learn more about locs for my hair type but nobody with my type posts :(
for real, I have 3b and its tough to find videos for my hair type. T_T. All I have is a video on pinterest as my goal 😀
did u start with two strand twist?
Good advice. I have micro 4c palm rolled and my loctician left. About 7 years in I retwist about 2 months, but am still looking for proper way to hydrate without causing them to untwist. I use softened or distilled water with an essential oil. They are light and ropey. I love the texture, but they always feel dry.
Thank you so much for this video it is wonderful and so organized! Sharing this!
Thank you. Very informative and real.
My hair has reached around 17 inches (so mid back for me) since I shaved my head in June 2019, and honestly, I can tell I’m starting to get to a point of exhaustion when combined with all of the work I have to do for school. (That’s not my sole reason for starting, though!) I’ve honestly been thinking about a loc journey for a year and a half, and especially with all of the friends’ journeys I’ve watched and my own personal spirituality, I think it’d be good for me.
My mother started hers three years ago, and her hair is GORGEOUS. I’m not sure if I’m taking your channel as a sign, or what… but I think it’s time.
(Also, Merry Christmas!)
Thank you, so much for this video. I have been trying to do my research and so far, I've learned that I have low density hair, and because I want medium locs I should start with two-strand twist. Lol.. I'm working on what products are best for starting my locs. Keep the video's coming.
I really enjoyed this video! Super informative and helpful. Thank you!
Best info I’ve found for starters locs, that’s
I’ve had locs 2 times prior currently on my 3rd I always do my own parts do they turn out perfect hell no but I love the uniqueness plus whatever number I end up with I feel is truly meant for me. I have 76 locs and I looked up the meaning of 76 and I’m in love 🥰. The people with 150+ locs have a level of patience I have not yet mastered 🤣 I interlocked the roots of my current locs and was exhausted and over it at the end. A good tip for trying to figure out what works for you is getting faux locs and experimenting with the sizes and amounts. Every time I did faux locs I always ended up with 70ish-80ish and the one time I did more it was too much for me and then I tried fewer with bigger thicker locs and wanted more locs. Better to play Goldie locks with faux locs then your actual hair 😂❤
What are faux locs?
You are on point! I went to go look for loc progress for 4b texture and I was able to relate. How lm starting matches theirs. Thank you for the heads up because i building up the wrong expectations.
This video is gold ✨
This was great advice!
Your hair is magnificent ‼️😍💙✨
Absolutely adore this style! What are these gold tips called, and do you have a tutorial?
Very informative! Thank you
you’re welcome!
Felt a lil attacked at 10:25😭. Actually finna comb my locs out and have my loctician do brick pattern and do 90. My ex started my locs ( didn’t know what she was doing ) she ended giving me 48 and watching videos had me thinking I was gonna have THICK LOCS😭. For the past 3-4 months in a phase where I love my locs but don’t like that fact that my hair doesn’t look full. Finally decided 2 days ago that I’m gonna comb them out and let my loctician start them the correct way and give me more locs
Been having my locs for a year and half as of 5 days ago
This is the most comprehensive and informative loc video I've ever seen! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Omg 😱 you’re so dreadfully beautiful 😻
1st...thanks for the tips. My hair was natural and bra length, bottom and I had about 80 -90 2 strand twist. Oh yes I have 3b/c hair...the struggle became real about my 3rd retire. 10-12 wk schedule and all of a sudden my hair was at my ears and to my was crazy because my hair is curly. Month 9 I started combing them out because I absolutely didn't like them. Took me two months to comb them out. Still have length not as long or even but still if I pull it comes to top of my breast. Having it redone as micro locs...120
How about braiding starter locs
It's been a month since i loced my hair and the loctician said to use spritz to help it lock faster... do you recommend it? Ive had my first re-loc and it has gotten really frizzy
I only have 39 locs
Caribbean people know about that real coconut oil lol
Very informative, thanks for the tips!
full of substance! lol thank you, glad you enjoyed!
I have tye 4 hair but its colour treated so i need some conditioner
You didn’t mention instant loc’s created by using a .5 mm crochet hook which can be be any size depending upon the skill of the installer.
I have 300 x 1/8”x 30” instant loc’s. I maintain the new growth by crocheting or 2 point interlocking every 2 to 4 months depending on how fast the hair grows in different areas of the scalp.
GREAT VIDEO 🎉
I'm looking for a interloc technician in RVA Richmond Virginia
Are those beads on the ends of your locs? Love the look!
they're loc cuffs from Goddess by Porsche! check em out on insta and Etsy
@@thesimoneestelle thank you!
Comparing JBCO to motor oil is so ignorant, and offensive. Good info but being abit know it allish, not cute.
now that I think about it, motor oil is a lot less thick, gooey, and sticky than JBCO. you're right, it's not a fair comparison.
I really tried to watch this but the music was too distracting for my neurodiverse brain.
new video, no music! let's see how everyone likes it, go check it out!🤎
Your hair reminds me of that spider from teenage mutant ninja turtles cartoon.
Listen this is why I chose a trusted loctician and I’m sticking with her . I’m not remembering all
