I was so shocked. They look like sisters. I from twins to sisters and her mom actually looks younger. They are both beautiful! I need their regimen asap!
Wait wait a minute, MOM? If you’re 18 she looks like she’s 19, 20 yrs old. Black women why aren’t WE aging? What is OUR secret? Y’all ladies are beautiful!
Isa Dreadhead I guess some body’s hurt? Who said anything about beautiful? I said WE ARE NOT aging and that too, WE’RE BEAUTIFUL! That shows how hurt y’all are. Black women can’t have anything without y’all being butt hurt about it!Get a life jealous heffa WE WERE BORN THAT WAY!
Isa Dreadhead I don’t give a damn about you telling me everybody is beautiful. I wasn’t talking about everybody , I was talking about the black women! And why is that when we’re talking black women we feel that we must say everybody is beautiful?
Because you’re mom’s hair is 4c like mine, it takes longer for natural oils from our scalp to travel down our hair shaft. she should try washing it less often and adding a little bit of conditioner or Aloe Vera inside of her water and oil concoction. Then put a little bit of glycerin on her hands and rub it into her locs to help lock the moisture in. Always remember, water is moisturizing but it will evaporate so sealing is THE key 💞
@@josephosullivan9506 i ordered some for my daughters locs. I can't put any in my hair right now because i have fresh sisterlocks, but once they mature a bit i am looking forward to using it.
I love your relationship dynamic. It's similar to the way that my 18 year old daughter and I relate. When your mom introduced herself as "Mom" I was tickled.
I have 4c hair as well and I’ve been told that thicker hair should be washed less often. It takes longer for our natural oils to make its way down the strand, so constant washing sort of restarts the natural moisturizing process. I’d suggest wetting/washing less often to help with the dryness
Mama I believe your washing your hair too often. The hard chemicals in the water (unless you have a really good filtration system) the mixture of shampoo or cleansing strips your hair along with the hard water. Wettting daily is fine but you should only have to wash 1 or 2 times a month- & if you’re not using that many products you can wash it even less
Wait. Hold up. Hold up. HOOOOOOLLLLD UP!!!! That's your mom! She looks your age. I thought you two were sisters and when you said mom my face cracked. Wtf!!! What water are y'all drinking?! That's your mom!!! Whoa!
@૨σყαℓ ƭεε 😂 but like seriously look at her! I know black don't crack but dang this seems like it's on a whole another level 😂 but there's absolutely nothing wrong with looking super young 😊 God has truly blessed our people with our looks 🙌🏾
Also, if you were a 4c loose natural before locking, once a week is WAAAYYY too frequent to be washing your hair. Once a month or every 2-3 weeks max would be more ideal. That might explain the dryness you're experiencing. Try cutting back on the washing to once a month, and spritzing with ROSE water as necessary. You truly don't need oil on the hair. You might want to oil the scalp LIGHTLY after your monthly washing, but if you live in Texas this wouldn't even be necessary in the Summer.
I love the way both of your locs have turned out. I've been following the journey since the beginning. I wanted to comment about your mom's hair being dry. I've had the same issue and once I've read the knotty truth book it helped me so much with moisture. Everyday I use a mixture of aloe Vera juice, water, green tea & chamomile tea. It's definitely helped me allot. There are other mixtures for those who's hair is more mature. Hope this helps 🤗
@@mimiabdul1177 Smells amazing too! I use it everyday as a leave in conditioner as it suggested in the book. When I first started using it I used it twice a day; morning and at night. Now that my hair is retaining moisture I'm down to once a day.
4:22 my locs were getting super dry with the shampoo only routine. I added coconut oil post shampoo, and then did a final rinse in (freezing) cold water... and my hair isn't dry anymore (I also don't wet my hair in between washes).
Mom, you are encouraging me because I installed my microlocs in March and I have 4C hair as well. I have had good success with Glycerin and have only tried it once since my installation. I'm trying to let my locs grow out as they are very short right now. All I use is rose water and vitamin E oil every other day. I spritz with water everyday as my hair is does dry out. I wash it every 2 weeks.
My starter microlocs also used to get VERY dry, and I used to mist/spritz with water. ROSE WATER is honestly a game changer. Make a rosewater mix with vitamin e oil and some essential oils. You will definitely notice the difference.
Water adds moisture but only temporarily. Whenever you use water in your hair you should use products that can penetrate and be absorbed into the hair shaft. After the water evaporates there is no moisture left and your hair will be left feeling dryer than before. When your spray with water add oil as well so it seals into the hair as it dries ... hope that helps!
My sister locks get dry when I’m dehydrated just like my skin get’s dry. Want healthy locs, make sure you’re eating right and staying hydrated is especially important.
I agree! We learned this in beauty school. I also saw the proof of it when we convinced my husband's niece to drink more water if she wanted long hair. Lol...she was a pre-teen at the time, but it actually worked!
Disclaimer: I'm not saying she grew an outrageous amount of hair or anything, but it grew much longer than it had been before and it wasn't dry, brittle and breaking.
I was having the same dryness issues with my locs. I had to change my shampoo from Castille soap to Carol's daughter. Then I changed my wash schedule from 1x a week to 1x every 2 weeks. Then finally I use Rosewater w/ glycerine diluted with water and I add rosemary oil and orange oil. Tbh the rose water helped the most and it smells amazing!
I use aloe Vera, vegetable glycerin, rose water, avocado oil, lavender essential oil mix together and spray once or twice a week. My hair is 4c low porosity
I started my micro-ish locs July 5th,2021 and watching your vids I think I'm going to go in and make them smaller. Thanks for the inspiration. Love this video
Water is a moisturiser but you need to seal it into your hair it your using oils. Look at a good sealant. Maybe castor oil or Argan. . Glycerin is good for low porosity
Your parents look so young. (I saw your dad on the vegan food video) Your mom is a flawless beauty and y’all are beautiful twins. I have been inspired to get micro locks. Thanks for sharing your journey Sis.
This might sound weird but I’ve been watching a lot of loc specialists on TH-cam and they have been saying that putting water on your hair everyday does make it more dry... like taking a shower, the water dries out your skin... it also dries out your hair... and adding a lot of products can cause buildup.
For dry locs, try getting rose water, put in a spray bottle and mist your locs. Restores natural pH of hair, improves condition over time and smells great.
Yes Mom, wetting and washing too frequently can dry out the hair. I've got 4c locs as well and went from weekly wash and daily moisturizing to now monthly wash and moisturizing with a rose water and jojoba oil (or vitamin E) mixture twice a week and my hair is feeling softer than ever! Not a loctician but that's been my experience.
Glycerin is a good moisturizer especially for low porosity girls like me... but using it on locs I eliminated because it can cause more lint to attract to the hair.
for dry hair: clarify well (Get. It. Clean. First.), condition as normal (usually liquid, not cream rinse), glycerin via fro/jheri curl SPRAY (YES! read the bottles. The ingredients are better than most products) recommend: SofteSheen-Carson Sta-Sof-Fro Hair & Scalp Spray and Luster's S-Curl Activator Moisturizer, then seal with an oil as normal (I would not recommend coconut oil here. Pre poo, yes.). Wash with normal shampoo once a week. Hope that helps.
I’m 4c and have microlocs as well. I tried the water only method for my first couple of weeks being locked and that’s a no no for my hair. It was getting soo dry. I still treat my hair like I’m natural. I use water a cream then oil. I even deep condition once a week. The oil that works best for me is castor oil.
That’s your mom?! Idk why I’m shocked anymore by how young we look😂 but it never ceases to amaze me lol Also, tell your mom to use rose water with her oils, for whatever reason that stuff is super moisturizing and seals your ends. I have 4c micro locs
Tell your mom to try Locsanity! I am 4C and I was experiencing dryness when I first put my microlocs in. Once I tried Locsanity it really helped with the dryness.
You're both so beautiful. Paused the video to comment - dry relative to what/whose? It may very well be that you just don't have a frame of reference for what YOUR OWN hair type ought to feel like when locked. Having said that, most locked folks swear by rose water and lightly and occasionally oiling the scalp only. Oiling the hair itself heavily and frequently early on in your lock journey could lead to sticky/tacky locks at best, or slippage/unraveling at worst. Maybe what you might need to consider is developing an appreciation of YOUR OWN texture in its locked state. If you have a preset idea of how you think your locks should feel, then they will always feel dry. Locked hair feels totally different than loose natural hair and that's to be expected.
Wait one.... I'm still on "Mom"😳 presumed she was your lil sister! Give it up for these melanated beauties!!! Of course, thanks for sharing!! Stay strong!💪🏽💯💜👑
WOW! I cannot believe this is your mother. She doesn't look a day older than you! The resemblance and youth is uncanny! But funny enough, my Mom has been wanting microlocs since I got mine done, just need to find someone in her area to do them.
Your mom is stunning. I use water and glycerin on my sisterlocks . But I didn't start doing that until I was 2 years in. I only use water most days. Your mom's hair might dry because of the water being hard. She might want to try bottled water/purified water. At my 2 year mark I also started using conditioner diluted in water. Using straight conditioner on baby locs can cause them to slip. Hope this helps🤗🤗🤗
After you spray your hair with water seal it with Castor oil, do this once a week. Water by itself is drying your hair out. Also you're washing your hair too often. Once a month should be fine. I've been loc'd for 3yrs(traditional locs).
jojoba oil is a vegetable wax and can be very drying to your hair and glycerin takes moisture from hair when there is non in the atmosphere. I'd use pumpkin seed oil oil or liquid lanolin it's a humectant.
Mommas 4c hair does not need a SHAMPOO wash every week. With textured hair like ours our oils are slow to flow down the shafts of our hair. So if she is shampooing so often she is stripping any oil production she is getting before it gets a chance to go down the hair. Try shampoo once a month (under normal activity , sweating, environmental conditions) but wetting the hair with a good rinse out out conditioner and sealing that moisture would be good to do every other day.
You may need a less harsh shampoo. Also try applying squalane oil to your hair right after spraying (avoid water from your sink unless it has been filtered/softened). Squalane oil is one of the few oils that can actually penetrate the hair shaft and keep it soft. You may be high porosity (like me). High porosity hair need some type of sealant and a humectant if you are in a humid environment most of the day.
You should put some oil on it after adding water the oil will lock in the moisture when you just add water it won’t hydrate it so I recommend adding oil after you add water onto to keep it from being dry and brittle.
if you spray everyday, you have to seal in the water with a light oil right after! once a week i also do a 5 minute light conditioner when i wash...i retain moisture all week (i.e. i no longer have to spritz everyday)
Don't use distilled water! It strips hair. Use alkaline water if not using tap. To fix the dryness issue mix rosewater with glycerin sold at cvs you can add the essential oils at the same time and shake well then add aloe vera juice, and alkaline water, shake well. Play with the portion sizes to what works for you.
I just installed starter microlocs. My hair got really dry after washing without conditioning. After I washed and followed up with the rinse out conditioner and deep conditioner that I used as a loose natural, my hair was no longer dry. I used my deep conditioner as a leave-in, which is what I did as a loose natural. When my hair was loose, I would follow-up the deep conditioner with oil, but I don't seem to need that with microlocs.
Hey you're both are sooo sweet. I was wondering how your mom is dealing with the problem she mentioned on your last video, about having loc un twisted on the middle. (I don't know if you understand me, sorry I'm French). Thanks for the video !
I seriously thought she was a younger sister at first....Forget locs have moms drop that skin care routine!
Yes!!!! We need to know!!!
Me too
All facts!

Wow!....Wait!...✋Mom?!!!...She looks like your twin sister!...You are both Soooooooo BEAUTIFUL!...😍💞💕❤

Whattttt that’s her momma!!!
@Melach of the earth 🙏🏾 Truth, too bad she doesn't do Microlocs
Wait wait a minute, MOM? If you’re 18 she looks like she’s 19, 20 yrs old. Black women why aren’t WE aging? What is OUR secret? Y’all ladies are beautiful!
Isa Dreadhead I guess some body’s hurt? Who said anything about beautiful? I said WE ARE NOT aging and that too, WE’RE BEAUTIFUL! That shows how hurt y’all are. Black women can’t have anything without y’all being butt hurt about it!Get a life jealous heffa WE WERE BORN THAT WAY!
Tykara my dear, I apologize I had to put her in her place. I don’t mean the negativity and drama.

@Isa Dreadhead butt hurt! Get a life!
Got ya moms whole ENTIRE face!!❤
Girl I thought that was your sister! I was like “oh her mom must be coming in later!” More proof black really don’t crack!
Y’all’s hair is GORGEOUS!!
I still can’t believe that’s your mom... but then she introduced herself as mom 😆. She’s def a mother

I mix 1/2 rosewater & 1/2 vitamin e oil.... I spray my hair everyday. Plain water does dry your locs.
I was told rose water is good to use instead of plain water.
Rose water is amazing, restores natural pH of hair, amazing conditioner and smells great.
@@josephosullivan9506 i ordered some for my daughters locs. I can't put any in my hair right now because i have fresh sisterlocks, but once they mature a bit i am looking forward to using it.

I thought you were going to say. Hey y’all this is my twin … wow. How beautiful is she and so youthful looking.
Lawd your mom looks good! Black is beautiful ❤️🎉
I just installed starter microlocs. My hair got really dry after washing without conditioning. After I washed and followed up with the rinse out conditioner and deep conditioner that I used as a loose natural, my hair was no longer dry. I used my deep conditioner as a leave-in, which is what I did as a loose natural. When my hair was loose, I would follow-up the deep conditioner with oil, but I don't seem to need that with microlocs.
I just realized I have that loc'd t shirt lol, had locs before and went crazy with the para lol
Hey you're both are sooo sweet. I was wondering how your mom is dealing with the problem she mentioned on your last video, about having loc un twisted on the middle. (I don't know if you understand me, sorry I'm French). Thanks for the video !
