Hey, y'all! It's time for another loc wash...only this time, I decided to wash my locs without retwisting. It's something I NEVER do because my 4C hair gets very puffy and tangled, but I figured it was good to give my roots a break from retwisting.

Girl don't you dare explain that beautifully curled pattern on your head. The ancestors are showing proudly on that crown. I love it. ❤️🥰
It's truly a nice feeling to wash and not re-twist, I do it because I like to have a fuller look. However, I do like to keep them neat and have them looking sweet. 😍 Thanks for letting us hang with, while you washed and pampered your locs a bit. 😊 Bye *Nina!*
I so agree, Nekoda!! ❤️
That August joke was actually hilarious 🤣🤣
🤣 ikr
Very lol😂

I enjoyed the no retwist phase of my loc journey. Loved the volume however it resulted in thinning since my hair doesn’t grow into the loc and my part system got messed up. So word of caution for those reading.
Damn damn damn damn!!!! Fine...I washed today and I guess I'll twist these jokers tomorrow! Or....this weekend? Lol
@@katharine1285 Everyone's hair is different. My hair strands are fine textured. It's is worth a try. May be helpful for you
Thank you. I’m two months in so I can’t really tell yet if my hair is going to grow inside the loc . I think I’ll get a retwist every two months though
Try the braid method with locsmithing for hair that grows around your locs. Mine does too, in the front, so I use the braid technic (search Yanni the loctologist) and it helps my semi freeform my fine 4c hair,
Ps I'm only in month 4 but my hair is locd and loaded! 😜
Same
I love braid outs without a fresh retwist . Embrace them roots girls ❤️
I love that lightbulb moment you had at the end about connecting with your hair.
Until I watched the end I was about to say... “girl stop tagging on your texture”!!!! So glad you had that epiphany!!!
"It's almost August and we don't want any entanglements" LOL!
An absolutely great video. Well spoken, clear, concise, to the point. No "look at me, aren't I kookie?!" song and dance extra-ness. Ownership of our natural hair is beautiful and your speech about loving your own hair got me. Thanks sis.
The spiritual awakening part 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I was so happy and proud at that moment
Your hair looks amazing without the retwist
I don’t retwist often and I love it
Looking amazing! I do the same thing, only retwisting every other wash, doing twists or braids to "camouflage" puffy roots.
And when it's humid and you work out, it is beyond frustrating to have a fresh retwist last only a day or two.
You look great.
The side part looked amazing!❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful hair! I’m thinking of taking the plunge with locs.
That nail color is everything.
I'm a semi free forma so I know what u felt when u realised the goodness of feeling your roots. I love it and u look beautiful
With my locs, I always liked the look of the braid out with some new growth. It looks great on you too!
"Hair of our ancestors" I can relate 😂
I am 2 months in and I put conditioner in my hair. I dilute it and I don't keep it in for long. I tried to do a clarifying shampoo followed by a moisturizing shampoo to avoid conditioner but my hair was not having it. It was super dry. After conditioning my hair I heard exactly what I needed from her to keep it in my routine. But I am sooo looking forward to that type of connection with my hair. I have been wearing weaves and braids my whole life. Went natural for a few years and end up going back to braids. Now I am on my loc journey and a self-care journey and I am so excited to be on the path of accepting my full self and my natural beauty. I am so geeked to see how my hair will look on my 1 year locaversary (Look at me getting ahead of myself lol). I love your loc updates.
This was so fun to watch. Love your personality!
Aww I love your realization at the end!! 😃 I can't remember the last time I legit retwisted because I do two strand twists after each wash to maintain my roots and it's for sure really freeing 💕
Yess!! So freeing. I was doing two-strand twists after shampooing for a couple of months :-)
When you say you were doing two strand twists, were you taking two locs and twisting them? I have had locs a little less than two years, and I just started retwisting/palm rolling myself. Thank you.
Loved seeing someone with locs and my hair texture. Love it!!!!
I love your thick roots ✨✌🏽
It's funny to me because I love the puffiness I get when my hair is not retwisted .
Agreed!
That is me at the moment. I installed and maintain 162 two strand twist starter locs. 10 months in...Sep 1 will be three months post reti. Not sure if I will reti LOL!! I.LOVE.MY.LOCS
This is my second journey. I cut off my 1st set in '18 after having them for 9 years. I colored them often, thinking that nothing could damage them..WELP..LOL, lesson learned.
Turned out too cute 😍. I usually go up to 6 months between retwists. 😲 Was trying to think of a simple,cute style. I am definitely going to try a braid out next time around.
I love the no retwist look!
Your locs look lovely and you're too funny lol
My locs are maintained every 2 months or so using the interlocking method. I wash every 2 weeks and let the roots be free until it's time.
Thank you! I love that. It’s nice to give them a break 💕
Looooove this so much. What's funny is when you had the middle part at the end I was yelling girl just flip some to the side!! We have the same texture and I wear my hair the same way. I am 3 years in tho and super tender headed. I was looking for inspo bc I have not washed my own hair before I have a standing loc appt. This video gave me the courage to wash my own hair and not retwist in between loc appts ❤️❤️
“I squeeze really tight and I let loose!” Haha I was dying. My sister and I say this a lot, it’s from scary movie 2 😂😂😂
Yesss!! My sister and I do, too! We loved that movie! 😂😂
I feel you sis, I just was my hair for the first time without a retwist, I’m only 9 months in my journey but my hair feels so good and free and natural now
I’m inspired to do this! I’ve been neglecting my scalp because I didn’t have the time or energy for a retwist. This is a great alternative
I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOVEEEE YOUR HAIR!!!!!!
Yaaaaas! Let that scalp breathe! It looks great!💙💙💙
Nice! Your roots are thick and gorgeous! And guess what? Your locs are still gorgeous! I enjoy both full roots as well as retwisted roots!
Since I twist every 6 to 8 weeks, but wash every 10 to 14 days, most of the time I'm washing without a retwist!
Your hair is beautiful, I think this is one of your best braid outs! The fullness is amazing.
Giiirrlll!!! I've already hit my year back in December last year and I completely agree with you when you say your in love with your hair. For me a feel so free....its hard to explain so I know where your coming from, but whatever the feeling is I say it's beautiful 😍
I’m glad you had an epiphany about your roots. Embrace!
Thanks for the tip on using the shampoo applicator. I had not thought of using one. I see the benefit.
Girl when i tell you my hair is so dirty right now. I do 5 miles a day and it is day 4. And i have 1 more day before i can wash. When my sweat dries my scalp itches so bad. I love washing my hair with no retwist. I only retwist once every 3 months so i have to wash. I scratch mine too but I don’t scratch hard. Great video Nina! Can you give us a live or something? We want to know what you have been up to since we have been on lock down.
We use the same shampoo!!! 💗💗💗 it’s the best, I absolutely love it
Heyy!! Yes, it’s great! 💕
I used to love that shea moisture jbco shampoo + conditioner when I was loose natural. I might try again. Your braid out came out beautiful!!
I love it and I’m glad you had that conclusion and connection to your hair😊
I have been unintentionally doing this as well partially due to laziness, but I don't like for my hair to be twisted up all the time. I like to let it breathe too like you said, and also I like keeping the tension off my roots because my edges are a work in progress lol it keeps my hair looking thicker.
“Its almost August you don’t want no entanglements” that got me ctfu 🤣🤣
youve come a long way! i respect your discipline. an your hair is beautiful. thanks for the motivation
You made me brave enough to try to wash my locs without retwisting them. I've been so nervous to do it, but your braid out came out great!
your hair is beautiful! looking forward to watching more, as i’ll be joining the loc family soon, peace and love 💟☮️
You are so silly lol "I squeeze really tight, and i let loose" 🤣🤣🤣 that movie is hilarious
Nia i got a tip for you. Put the almond avocado mouse by design essential before you tie it down and get under the dryer. I promise it will make your roots look straighter. Give it a try. My loctician turned me on to that stuff and it is bomb.
I'm going to do this with my hair tonight, thanks for the tip!!!!!!!!
I never would've thought 2 use an alligator bottle or 2 dilute the shampoo! Thx girl! What about using a 2in1 on my locs?? I've had them just over a yr. Their my 1st locs EVER. Need some girl advice.
So enjoyed this video! Final look is beautiful!
You are just so beautiful! I love your hair and your style!
I find it so shocking when people with locs don’t wash without retwisting. I wash my hair the same as I did with loose hair, once ever 1-2 weeks. I have noticed that with my locs I can go 3 weeks without my scalp feeling nasty but I still just love washing my hair 🤷🏽♀️😂
I love it!! I did the same thing last night and maaan, I remember why I always retwist it was ROUGH.
Love this, your hair is gorgeous
Cant wait to start my loc journey again! I'm definitely trying this ☺️. Thanks Nina!
“I squeeze really tight! Then I let loose.” I know exactly what movie and what scene that’s from 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yessss! I was waiting on somebody to get it! 😂😂
That spider joke almost made me spit out my water LOL also scared me because Im starting on my locs, and was like wait THat cAn HappEn lol
Hey beautiful lady...I too don't use a towel to dry my hair so feel ya on that & I am semi free forming to get thick roots❤☮& blessings
Mine needed to be washed bad but I dont feel like I needed to retwist right after because I still look neat 🤷♀️ and I don't care 😜 lol.
Love your video. Thank you for sharing becuase I did not feel like restwisting my locs after washing them.
I've been conditioning mine since beginning 31/2 years. No problems. Just make sure to spend extra time on the rinse. Not retwisting every time is great. Cuts down on thining later. I really like mine with the fuller look at times.
ur laugh is so cute😭😭
I need to get me one of those bottles for my shampoo game changer for sure
I love those applicator bottles for the shampoo! Where did you buy them?!
Yes, I can't imagine washing my locs without one! I put in the link in the description box :-)
Lol I felt every breath of pain lol!!!!! I am the same way. Be ready to fight!
It actually looks nice not retwisted with a braid out !! I’m gonna save this thanks
Try add a couple of drops if tea tree oil in your shampoo to help with the itching. Helps a lot
Def gonna try this Carol's Daughter shampoo!
Just dilute it so you don't knock yourself in the head with the scent! Lol
@@NinaUnlocked 😂 👍🏾
I am glad I came across this video. You stated you have bad Dandruff how do you treat it? I am 1yr in my loc journey
I was on the fence about ordering CD shampoo but I think it'll be good as a pre-poo. I think your hair looks great without a retwist. My hair is on the thinner side and when I wash my hair it lays flat on my head. I have to retwist after every shampoo.
Thank you! Yeah, I think it works nicely as a pre-poo besides the overwhelming scent. I understand needing to retwist after shampoos!
When I don't retwist, I do styles that have tighter curls and are closer to the roots (braid outs using ONLY 3 strands of hair and putting them in pipe cleaners). The trick to making your roots look nicer is using less hair.
I actually only retwist my hair every 3 months and I have 4C hair as well lol.
Raspect your dedication sistahs
You said you shouldn’t retwist locs with heavy products like beeswax. May I ask what products you use to retwist your locs?
Thank you! How does that leave in smell? Some people seem to love it, others compare it to Pine Sol and Lemon Joy 😭
Embrace that new growth girl 😉
I'm trying, girl! :-)
Hi Nina! I've been overtwisting my hair which has caused some breakage at the roots which has made me hate my roots when it isn't in a fresh retwist which has resulted in a cycle over overtwisting. If you have any advice, please let me know!
Hey I did the same thing I just stopped retwisting and washing and conditioner pretty much what she's doing right here and now it growing back. Just keep watch her videos bc she's awesome.
Hair of rhe ancestors 🤣🤣🤣 I feel you girl ... I feel the same way .. if I don't do a slight retwist my roots are so matted... I don't do a tight retwist all the time but feel like I would cause more damage if I don't do a little something
actually look great without retwist 🙂
Shouts to the ancestors 🙌🏿
I will be trying this. My locs need a break from all the retwist.
🥰🥰. I curious how often had you twisted when u stared?
I completely understand
I use to be tender headed my mom use to pop me with the comb
You locks are beautiful. How do you properly dilute the shampoo and conditioner?
Your hair is very pretty #LoveYourRoots
What I do in between retwist is just do a light retwist on the locs along my part and my edges
hey nina! i see you said that you have terrible dandruff and so do i! what do you to to keep it at bay? I am currently 3 months locd!
Hey Summer! Girl, I’m still figuring it out. The Carol Daughter’s shampoo does seem to help, though, as it has salicylic acid!
Girl I use conditioner and hair grease on my locs. Totally changed the game for me. My hair thanked me.
Nina u dope keep on gettin ur shine on
I tried that shampoo during the trial stage and wrote them about the scent. When it came out I was wondering if it was still strong.
Your hair look nice Nina.
Looks great
Beautiful locs.............. 🌹
You're roots look fine, 😍.
You look cute with all that new growth.
Can you do a video on how you do the braids?
Locs are suppose to use clarifying shampoo!right?
