You’re locs are so dope 🤟🏽 I don’t mean to sound weird or anything but I can sit here and listen to you talk for awhile. Just soaking up the knowledge and admiring your locs. Thanks for the video!!!
My locs are thigh length. After wrapping my hair with a towel to get moisture out, i wrap my hair in a white t-shirt until my hair is no longer dripping. Then i let them air dry, adding a small amount Tea Tree oil. I use only clear shampoo. 😊
Love you're videos ❤ I'm almost 5 months into freeforming, with mostly straight hair, as long as you ditch the brush/comb and rinse with cold water, everything else nature does for you. I also ditched any hair products like natural shampoos because i was scared of products even claiming no residue will still on a micro scale leave some sort of residue and i didn't want to worry about build up or air drying problems. Guys, the best way not just for locks but even washing detangled hair is to wash with CLAY. I've used bentonite and kaolin clay so far and they both have treated my body and hair beautifully. All One, All Love
Your Locs are on point! And, this video describes the process so fun and simple to maintain! Thank you so much for this video. I have been growing my Locs 3 yrs and 5 mos. now. I can appreciate what you are saying from all your experience.
You're beautiful jesus and thank you for the great information. I love your locs . I had locs using the twisting with gel method for 5 years and had to cut em when I went in the Navy (I donated them tho) . Now Im growing them back and started them with the sponge method this time around. I didn't take my locs or hair in general that serious when I first started but by the end I was in love with them and did everything I could to take care of them, I was so heartbroken when I had to cut em but I feel like this time Im taking way better care of my hair from the jump. Im only a week in but Im loving it. Again, thanks for this video hope you have a great day or night wherever you are :) .
Nice vid! I recently started my third set of locs, but I never went the Freeform route. This video helped me a lot and answered a lot of stuff, that I didn’t even consider. Thanks!
Did it work for you? I also want to start my locs journey with a sponge but I‘m a little bit afraid that it will now work and I will lock stupid 😩 I‘m living in germany and I don’t have black people around me to talk about dreadlocks 🫠
@@RTCschoko Looool, I am also from Germany!! And it worked pretty well for me I have to say. The worst stage is probably in the beginning, relatively speaking. I personally never minded my hair looking, the way it did, because it is all part of the process. After 7 month I gotta say, that my hair looks pretty nice now. Getting many compliments for it even. What Iwould recommend though is to maybe slightly manipulate your hair if you are uncomfortable with the way it locs up. You know, just seperating your hair n stuff, nothing major. hope this could help!
Wow, very much appreciate this and you. I initially was going to start using mini braids (scared of unraveling, but I have thick 4C hair lol. I’m starting tonight!
Your haiir is SOOO beautiful and so are you! I personally get dandruff from the fragrance in some products ! When I had semi freeform locs I also didnt experience dandruff back then!
Thanks for the simple routine. I more or less have been doing this for a few months now. The length of my locs have combined , & seems like the ends will take a while longer. I’m just getting used to the look of no retwist / new growth,😭
Love this video, it's beyond helpful. I'm going to start with the sponge method. You're a gorgeous woman & yet you do kinda favor Terence Trent D'arby 🤗
I love how your locs look amber i hope mines get like that in August right now i am in the teenage stage right now my cousin wife started my locs last year in February going get my last retwist in March this year after that no more retwist I will let my locs freefrom from there
Your locs are 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥, and your personality is hella chill……😎…..Quick question, how do you add the overlay words to your videos? I can’t figure out how to spot add them how you do (put the words wherever you want)….
Great video, I watched it beginning to end and it’s given me the boost to keep going. Wash days are my most stressful days, but I feel better after watching this one😅. You only used the sponge once? I find myself using the mini-tennis racquet device daily. So I’ll switch to the sponge and just do it once. Thanks again for the advice!❤
July 22, 2020. Hardly any maintanance so they're very lumpy and bumpy. I've noticed them getting lighter from the sun as well but not nearly as light as yours. Do you think that making my own salt water spray will work to lighten them up a bit more? I really like the natural ombre that i have going on and would like them a tad bit lighter.
i wouldn’t use jbco daily because it’s so thick. but olive oil or grape seed oil with water in a spray bottle would be good for daily use! jbco is good on your scalp once or twice a week for growth and thickness.
I adore the look of your locs, they look like they keep getting longer. I’m jelly but I’ll get long locs soon! And thanks for the long in depth video I need all the advice I can get, I’ll be a month locked on the 14th.
Can I change from my four year traditional locs to semi Freeform locs? I’m so tired of products there’s just to many and I find my skin itching a lot from products please help
Hi Good afternoon. I watched some of your videos on TH-cam and I was wondering, concerning the hair sponge. Should I use it daily or just once and let my hair grow and what part of the sponge did you use? Thank you.
i personally only used the sponge one time in order to start my parts. it gave them a starting point and sections to work with. the locs also combined because i did not continuously keep them separated. if you want to use the sponge more than once, you can. it may make them stay in their sections better, but it’s all up to you and your preference:)
Your locs are cool! Honestly I think I messed mine up cause I started off with crochet and kept twisting the loose hairs around my roots...I'm 1 year and 3 months in and they are matured they arent as long yet but the way they're growing....Idk man mine sucks they're super skinny and not growing properly should I start over?
i wouldn't start over but i'd stop messing with them for at least 6 months. you can combine some of you want so they're not so thin. the roots will be thicker and healthier if you don't manipulate them too much. just give them some time and space! lol
i only sponged one time to start my locs. to fix flat locs i’d personally make sure you get them sponged thoroughly all the way down to the root so they’re sturdy. spray them with plain water every morning then towel dry or air dry
All the products I mentioned in this video are linked in the description! I hope this guide is helpful to you! 💚

Guys, the best way not just for locks but even washing detangled hair is to wash with CLAY.
I've used bentonite and kaolin clay so far and they both have treated my body and hair beautifully.

Water is your friend ❤️
Indeed
I use aloe Vera water with a few drops of Jamaican castor oil instead of water, does that work and do I have to dry it ?
Just the video i was looking for. Thank you
Thanks for all the efforts! You are beautiful btw. Love
I love your hair... it's beautiful ❤❤
I have the twist comb
Awesome job!
Love the video -- love the locs😍
Amber - great video!! Can I use a regular towel or is a tee shirt best.
Thanks! I use a towel most times but tshirts are good if you’re worried about breakage
honestly you're really done to earth

Great vid! What brand is the black soap?
Watching and saving for later🥰

I used to use shea moister, Shea moisture is for natural free hair not best for locs. Plus the Shea moisture conditioner detangles hair

I've been thinking about getting locks again but going the free form route so you never twisted or retwisted?
I havent completed the vid as yet but nice locs😊
What did your sponge look like
"brain empty" turned me into a lifetime subscriber hahahahahahahahahahahahhaa
How often do you wash your Locs
Do I have to sponge my hair everyday? Also my hair is always flat I the morning is there a way to fix that?
i only sponged one time to start my locs. to fix flat locs i’d personally make sure you get them sponged thoroughly all the way down to the root so they’re sturdy. spray them with plain water every morning then towel dry or air dry
So just sponge or once and never again
When I spray my locs every morning, should I dry with a towel?
yes!
You look beautifull with your dread s❤❤
Can use Seabreeze in your free-form
hey! i’m 5 months in my loc journey. can i free form at any point or do i have to start over?
Hey, you can definitely start from where you are. All you have to do is stop retwisting and doing any other manipulation!
@@AmberLoryn thank you so much for responding! your locs are beautiful by that way
Thank you!
@@AmberLoryn I'm 8 months in and I stopped retwisting last month.
Thanks!!!
How many years did you grow your hair
about a year before locing up
When did you start rising your locks
From the very beginning!
Imma start today
I love you and your locs video 📹 okkk
So salt water spray the go outside?
Yes outside in the sun
@@AmberLorynthx
Thank you
Do you think i can use sponge on type 2c hair?
yes it does work for loose curls 👌🏽
@@AmberLoryn thanks for that quick response. Will definitely try it then freeform! Hope it works properly as i have maybe 5inches of hair.
Didn't work my hair shrunk
I'm starting today
1st January 2025
whats up,
👋
Why u keep smiling like that😂
Do you plan to rinse daily permanently?
It’s become a routine and I like the way my hair feels as a result of it. I’ll likely continue for a while!
Question, how are your locs freeform and not flat please explain?
I have a handful of flat locs. the larger ones have a flatter shape
you are such a beautiful looking woman 🌹🌺
