    Started my locs again after I’ve done them 2 times. After all this time, these are the things i realized this far...
    1. you don’t need to put a Trillion products in your hair
    2. don’t retwist too often. Allow the roots to thicken and grow over time
    3. Embrace the early baby stages
    4. Stop obsessing over growth, it’ll grow eventually. All it takes is patience.
    5. Stop touching the hair.
    6. During the early stages, don’t style. If you style too often, there’s thinning that may occur which can lead to breakage and irritation of the scalp and overall Loc.
    7. Only apply water to the locs few times throughout the week directly and apply a natural oil to the scalp only. I realized the more I applied oil to the locs, it left it too oily and built up occurred.
    8. Get PLENTY of natural sunlight.
    9. Buy silk scarves
    10. NEVER SLEEP WITHOUT A SCARF
    11. Don’t compare your journey to someone else’s. Everyone has a different hair type and certain hair care routines that works in their favor. Do your research and experiment.

    Yesss! Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize you can not stress how important that is! Definetly keep your hair covered when yo sleep otherwise there will be a lint festival in your locs. Your giving great advice young man. I know all of this things that you are saying now, but only through trial & error. I've had my locs for 16 years now & I wish someone would have given me these tips, but like I said I'm 16 years in & locs weren't as popular as they are now.....Peace & Blessings.... Respect

    • @kemararobinson2161
      @kemararobinson2161 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Its a little more complicated than that. Black hair should be styled when it's moist, because moist hair is more elastic and less likely to break. But moist hair also shrinks in so when your locs are new and "budding" you want to avoid too much moisture because it will shrink out of the loc and try to come home to your scalp. Twist the locs moist, clip them, and let them dry with the clips so it sets. U can air dry or use heat, the heat causes damage tho so dont let nobody put you under no dryer for a long time. When they get long enough that you dont mind the unlocking at the roots, then moisture moisture moisture will keep them healthy and strong.

My problem is that my hair looks like I need another retwist already and it's just been 4 days. Is this just something you have to deal with when starting locs? I'm nervous my hair will never look freshly done.
