I know you meant well but these types of comments honestly just does the opposite of what you intended just like how people over praise “mentally retarded” kids to make them feel good
I spray my hair with rose water than apply warmed Jamaican black castor, wild growth oil and lavender essential oil. I also take biotin, drink lots of water and take vitamins. It does wonders for growth and my hair is so strong and healthy
Do you have locs or "loose" natural hair? I love the rosewater idea. I've been using distilled water mixed with a peppermint/lavendar essential oil mix to spray my twists before putting in a leave in conditioner. But I have hard water...I'm flummoxed as to what to do about rinsing pre- poos, shampoos and conditioners out of my hair during the different steps!!! Do I need to purchase several bottles ot purified water for "wash day?" Not good for the environment not to mention labor intensive!☹️
I use Wild Growth Oil and rosewater. I used to put the oil on without the liquid and it seemed to do nothing. Adding that liquid made a big difference.
I retwist every 6 to 12 weeks. When my hair starts to look fro-ish I wear a loc cap and also I keep my hair covered when at home. My loc retwist last longer that way.
I get my hair retwisted every 7 to 8 weeks. My retwist usually last for at least 4 weeks. I wash my hair myself at the 6th week...the next wash is when I see my loctician...I slowed down my workouts but even then I wouldn't wash my hair until about the 4th week...so🙄 Everyone's loc journey is different and that what I LOVE ABOUT THIS PROCESS. I personally love when my retwist is older....I just want my locs to grow to my butt so patience is definitely what I'm working on...keep me lifted everyone🙏🏾 9months in!!!LOCS WERE THE BEST DECISION EVER!!!! COME THRU ALL THE LOC QUEENS AYYYYYEEEEEE😂
Totally agree on being patient I started my journey yesterday I'm so excited! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Gonna try and go at least 5wks first retwist then space out or whatever my locs tell they need right now we bonding 😂🥰 Q: I found this oil yesterday have anyone heard of **Biotin Collagen hair + strong Hair Oil ?
Great content, easy to understand, I am 10 months into my journey, I retwist every 6 weeks or so, I do a light retwist myself in between. Loving my journey.
My loc installation was 6/25/19. Two weeks later my hair was frizzy. By the third week, I wouldn’t leave home without my hair being covered. I totally freaked out. I’m looking forward to my first retwist. I wish I had found this video two weeks ago and maybe I would not have freaked out. Newbies like me need to see videos like these. Thank you for posting.
I normally wait at least 2 months in between retwists to avoid thinning I like the Rasta look better than having my scalp exposed,love your videos they're very helpful 🤝
Hello!! I just started my loc journey on July 23rd. I’ve been watching a lot of TH-cam videos on starter locs, how to maintain my locs. I’m so glad I came across your video🥰I’m trying water, Jamaican black castor oil, jojoba oil & wild growth oil in my spray bottle. So far so good👍🏽
Girl you are so right I see a lot of TH-camrs telling people that water is moisture lol all water does is wet your hair and when it dry it becomes dryer. So I order to moisture my hair I used oil and then pray moisture hair products in I choose to use wave Nouveau finishing lotion to moisten my hair.
My locs are about 5 1/2 years old. Mid back length. Ive always had my locs palm rolled and never had them styled besides pulled back. My retwist last about 2 months. The longer they get, the least you have to retwist.
I'm in month 4 of my loc journey. My retwist last about 2 almost 3 weeks. Last month at week 4 I did a light retwist just to get the frizz off. I used aloe vera gel and rose oil. That helped me hang on another 2 weeks.
My retwist last about two weeks. I’ve only been using castor oil and trying to stretch my retwist to two months. Learning to embrace the stage. 5 months in :) I used to use homemade flaxseed gel as a loose natural thinking to try for my retwist to see if it last a little longer. Happy I found your channel! 💖
I just got my locs done for the 1st time yesterday. I've heard folks talk about using the WOC method to properly moisturize your hair, but that was just masterful homegirl 😉. The length was perfect and all the details you provided were very easy to grasp. This was my first time ever coming across a vid by you and I immediately liked & subscribed, it sure won't be the last one I watch. ✊🏾🖤💯
I recently started my locs 2 months ago. And it just depends on what method you use to twist your hair. My first set of locs I would have to retwist them every 2 weeks but with this set I can go about 6 weeks to 8 because I interlock my locs.
Thank you so much for demystifying the whole "hydrating" process. I am still about three days away from completing my braidloc install and am very "punped"
My retwist lasts for about 2 weeks. That is the average give or take a few days. Hair is constantly growing. The main purpose for a retwist is to gather the new growth and make sure it stays within the loc and to keep the integrity of locs for those that are not free forming/semi-freeforming. It is not really for aesthetics per se. One of the ways that some get theirs to last a bit longer is by styling options (two strand twists, barrel twists…), tying your locs down when sleeping/resting, and definitely tying it down if you work out, this may help it lasts a bit longer. But I still think that no matter what, 2 weeks winds up being the longest.
I LOVE Wild Growth oil for sealing. I have also found that warming my water or leave in really penetrate my hair better. My retwist from the salon last about a week and a half from home lasts about 15 mins..lol I exercise alot and I would rather just do it myself at this point because I can't afford a salon visit every week.
By the time I have to go for my 3 week maintenance I am ready!! I would say 3 weeks is a stretch for me right now. I am only almost 2 months into my journey.
Mine last about a month really well then I begin my "so what, yeah this is me" stage and go another month or so before wrapping it up. Satin scarfs at night are to hot so I opt to sleep on satin instead.
I came here for the great info.. I’m starting my loc journey after being natural for 7 years on July 22nd I’ll be locked up 👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏾 but I realize taking care of my new starter locs will probably be different then what I did to take care of my waist length natural hair. I’ve been told that the shrinkage will be really real 😳 of course I definitely don’t care bout the shrinkage. I jus want to continue having healthy hair. Your video has great information ℹ️ thank you so much for sharing this video 🌹👍🏾
My retwist last about one month but I have went upto 3 months. Thank you for sharing this video. Now that is winter Ive noticed that my dreads and scalp has been very dry and I was applying coconut oil and olive oil and they were still dry so I will try hydrating them first. 👍🏼👍🏼
I only use rose water and vitamin E oil as a mixture. Water does nothing but dampens the hair that's it. My retwist last about 2weeks cause I don't sleep with a bonnet just a satin pillow case.
Great video & info! I can go 2-3wks before a retwist. I usually do a wash/retwist every 4-6wks (1 at home, 1 with loctician). To moisturizer, I use a mix of filtered drinking water, avocado oil, black castor oil, peppermint/tea tree oil, & a couple of drops of either rosemary/lemongrass essential oils for scents. I also use Oyin juices & berries as a hydrant/refresher. Loc'd for 3yrs 3 mos.
Your videos have been so helpful. My man has locs & I’be been researching through videos so I can help him with his locs. He’s been a year in with locs & retwist appointments get expensive especially since his hair grows out very fast
I’m only on week 3 of my journey. I didn’t loc with anything but water and oil so it’s like I need to retwist NOW 😩. You would think I don’t wrap at night.
I’m so happy that I viewed your video. I recently been using LOC method minus the cream. My locs last abt 2 weeks. Once it starts to look a bit messy/rough I do as you and wear wraps. I started my journey 03/2019.
Shampoo your hair with a stripping shampoo get all the oil out. Get you some pro-style brown gel for starter locs but after your hair locks at about 4 in 3 in? The gel 👈just makes it look neat and🤳 orderly but you can actually twist lock it ☀and latch hook it. That way in the summertime?🦋 You can shower and your hair will dry beautifully naturally🐈 without blow drying because you will like the way it hangs🥂. 🌻Truly the black woman👈 is the flower🤳the black man is the seed
I realize that my re twist last longer When I get the two strand twist however I feel as though that thins out the locks regular twist re-twist does not last about 1 week in my hair because of my hair type
Hey queen! I just started my loc journey I am one month in, I will be retwisting/washing every 3-4 months and I use rose water and castor oil to moisturize. Retwisting to often will cause your locs to thin and create scalp damage. Also eating a healthy balance diet helps to create a healthy crown of locs ❤️
I am not sure where you located but I create custom apparel and handmade gifts I would love to send you a free item. Check out my Instagram at Garifuna Creations and let me know what you would like.
To answer your question I started off going every two weeks for a retwist per my loctician recommendation and I'm now going every three weeks. I've been locked for a year. I started my journey in June 2020 a few weeks before my 34th birthday. Love your video.
Oh my gosh this was helpful I maintain my son’s locs. Long videos are fine. My son has been locked a year his retwist last 2 weeks because he plays ball
This whole issue is so confusing! Somewhere "experts" state that "oil abd water don't mix." That if you wet it first, the "oil will not seal in the water...it will simply sit on top of the cuticle and not penetrate the cuticle." What to believe?! Your video.is very detailed and makes sense, but...
I did not know that at all. I noticed my scalp gets dry very quickly and I normally just put my oil mixtures directly on my scalp to help relieve it, which it does but not for very long. I do have a spray bottle with mainly water and a few essential oils so I will try and spray that first followed by my oil mixture and see how that goes. Thank you. Very helpful
Thank you!..Ive been doing it backwards.. I have starter locs so I dont think I messed up 2 bad bc too much water will unravel my coils but I still use rosewater throughout my scalp. I sure thought the oil goes first then the rosewater..lol glad I ran up on your video Queen Beautiful Silky Skin😍 good day!!
My retwists do not last for anything! It turns fro like after about a week and a half, at most 2 weeks but that's saying alot. I started my locs Nov 2017, but they took about 4-5 months to fully loc up. So it just seems like my new grow doesnt like to be loced lol. I'm working on the hydration and oil sealant part though, thanks for this!
When i first started it was every 2 weeks. Later on when I would get two strand twist it would be like 8 -12 weeks. And when the colder months hit, I usually just run it the whole season until about Feb or March, then I'll get a retwist
Marquita Smith I went 4 months without a retwist. I had so much new growth. I just got a retwist and it’s so beautiful, thick, and I’ve finally noticed them dropping. It was a struggle, but the rough look isn’t that bad when u dress a certain way and throw on earrings. I don’t do make up but it was actually cute
My retwist only last a week without a style and 2 weeks with a style. I wait 1 month in between retwist, but I will continue to extend this ass my locs mature. In 2 months locc'd on my second set of locs. Thanks for the advice. My hair just seems like it feels dry, but locs are supposed to be dead hair, so how moisturized should they be? My problem is idk If they are dry or if I just dont know locs
I just made it a year my retwist usually only last 2to 3 weeks but thats it..after that it's just all over my head for about another three weeks or more because I don't like doing retwist too often. I try to retwist every month and a half.
thanks for the tips, I'm trying to retwist myself but it seems like it "looks" retwisted for about 2weeks. I just started using flaxseed eco style gel to retwist and I've been loc for a little over a year. I'm going to try rose water on my locs, and in my daughter hair to try to keep the moisture.
Thanks for sharing the information about oil being a sealant. I am transitioning from interlocking to twisting my roots, and my first retwist lasted a week. I wore it braided for about 4 days to get fullness. But it gradually just loosened up, and is now frizzy.
Hey! Love your videos !! I started my locs right around the same time as you did so every upload helps a lot. I try to retwist every 6 weeks and fight through the frizz because I don’t want my roots to be thin
Do you use a dryer on your retwist? I have been locking for 15 years. My lock were not blow dried until about 11 yes when I attended a hairdresser. It would take 4 hrs to set otherwise. I don't retwist more than once every 3 months.
My first step is h20 my next step is my rosewater and aloe vera once I feel its hydrated then I use an oil or I use a water based moisturizer so far so 👍
My retwist usually lasts, a week. Than needs to be covered, by a week in a half. But I don’t retwist/ washes my locs for a month in a half. Going on 6months locd here in August 9th. Just constantly feels like I needs help on keeping up with my locs, or if im doing something wrong??
you should not be retwisting your hair that often you're going to have breakage overtime I made the same mistake when I first locked 2 years ago you're better off retwisting every two to three months
Missegyptlatesha ok. Thank you for the advice however I don’t retwist every 2-2 1/2 weeks.... I wrap my hair up for a while and then retwist as needed. 😊
Hi sis. I'm glad I came across your video. I use water mix with vitamin e, tea tree and lavender and spray my hair morning and evening. Is that ok? Also what sealing oil do you recommend?
Hi! I know this video is old, but I’m having issues with moisturizing my scalp. It’s like you said oils are meant to seal the moisture so what I was doing before was applying the oils directly to my scalp and it made my scalp dry and it created dandruff from being so dry. What leave ins do you recommend to use? And also as for my water based product I mix aloe Vera juice with water and add jojoba oil, peppermint oil, & tea tree. Is that a good mix? I’m still trying to see what products work for me, but everything I try my scalp still becomes dry.
I had this issue. On my wash days about every 2- 4 weeks I put aloe vera plant on it..check out a video on it. Rinse it out only..then maintain my hair by daily sparying it with distilled/rose water first then I oil my scalp Now I Never have dry hair or scalp & my locs grow like crazy!!!
Great video! I recently started my channel on dreadlocks and I'm excited to be apart of the community! You were a great part of my inspiration. Keep making content! 💪🏾🔥
So basically spray water on locs 💦 first then use a light Oil on scalp and locs ???? I exercise 3-4 days out the week so I sweat often my retwist last depending on how long I keep the style up and if I don’t get a twist and style I’ll say it last me a week
I just cut 12 inches off of my 26 inch locs i retwisted them as well (july 25th) i been growing my locs since 2013 5 inch trim after a year. My scalp stays dry so I'm always scratching. I use your DIY loc mixture ( flaxseed tea tree Castor jojoba oil) moisture doesn't stay in my Locs very long neither does the retwist I say two weeks later I have a slight fro most likely from me scratching. I cut that much off because there were a lot of space things from my interlocking and having different people retwisting made those locks look weird so I did a major chop and I'm hoping to be more consistent in my retwist in my washing but I seriously need help with moisture and keeping my scalp from itching so much I love your Channel I used to watch it all the time before you had the twins but I fell off but I'm back now LOL
Thanks for coming back! You probably have low porosity hair like I do which makes it difficult for your hair to absorb moisture. Hot showers will help open your hair cuticles to absorb moisture. Try apply your moisture products after showers.
My mom, stepdad and little brother oil their dread EVERYDAY. But I don’t, I oil 2-3 times a week. I have 4c hair, I have the toughest and thickest hair in my household. My mom tells me to oil it everyday but personally I believe I shouldn’t oil it everyday because my hair keeps in moisture especially water. The oil would stay in my hair for 1-2 days then when the smell of the oil is gone, that’s when I know to oil it again.. should I listen to my mom or keep doing what I’m doing? Someone help me out🥲
Yes, I've been interlocking for about 13 years, and am switching to retwisting due to advice that interlocking will cause thinning. I am noticing thinning, and I am waiting longer between having anything done.
I retwist every 6 weeks, im newly loc, I moisturized and oil my scalp every day I also work in health care and during this 2020 - pandemic I have been wrapping my hair while at work, even at home cooking cleaning im always warped up. Help me
You are so Beautiful. My twist turned locs, are tailbone length with over 230+. I agree with the liquid oil method. My retweet is 2 months, my goal is to get to 3 months. To prevent from locs thinning. The longer they become, I have to consider & protect the foundation/base/roots. #teamnothinninglocs
@@brittneer8940 Hi Hun, I roll, w/out palm rolling, if that make sense. I'm concerned of thinning out over time(majority of mines are a lil smaller than a drinking straw). So I only twist my new growth. I've just tried the water & oil method for the first time. Hopefully it'll fix my build up issues..
I don't have the means to retwist properly so I use rubber bands until I can get to big city to have someone do it for me. Is this ok? My problem I just noticed is I thought the rubber bands would just break and fall out naturally BUT THEY ARE NOT. WILL THIS Damage my locks in the future?? Please help.
I’m almost 3months I spray and oil my hair when needed but my only concern is my locs look so afroish. Am I supposed to be spraying my locs as needed or just my scalp? I feel like when I spray my locs my buds just puffs out. Is that normal?
If you have low porosity hair do you have to heat the hydrant up in order to open the cuticle? I feel like when I do the LO method and use a leave in conditioner and oil, which is regular temperature,my hair is still dry unless I’m using the wrong oil any help would be greatly appreciated
It definitely helps. You can heat up the oil to make a hot oil treatment. Also taking hot showers before applying products will help open up your cuticles. What oils are you using?
Being disabled it's hard to do myself because of keeping my arms up and yes that get painful, now during this time all salons and hair supplies businesses are closed, please advise, I'm not too old to learn new things, thanking you in advance

Hey queen! I just started my loc journey I am one month in, I will be retwisting/washing every 3-4 months and I use rose water and castor oil to moisturize. Retwisting to often will cause your locs to thin and create scalp damage. Also eating a healthy balance diet helps to create a healthy crown of locs ❤️
I am not sure where you located but I create custom apparel and handmade gifts I would love to send you a free item. Check out my Instagram at Garifuna Creations and let me know what you would like.
To answer your question I started off going every two weeks for a retwist per my loctician recommendation and I'm now going every three weeks. I've been locked for a year. I started my journey in June 2020 a few weeks before my 34th birthday. Love your video.
Hit every point. I never understand how people think they can skip on hydration
Oh my gosh this was helpful I maintain my son’s locs. Long videos are fine. My son has been locked a year his retwist last 2 weeks because he plays ball
This whole issue is so confusing! Somewhere "experts" state that "oil abd water don't mix." That if you wet it first, the "oil will not seal in the water...it will simply sit on top of the cuticle and not penetrate the cuticle." What to believe?! Your video.is very detailed and makes sense, but...
I did not know that at all. I noticed my scalp gets dry very quickly and I normally just put my oil mixtures directly on my scalp to help relieve it, which it does but not for very long. I do have a spray bottle with mainly water and a few essential oils so I will try and spray that first followed by my oil mixture and see how that goes. Thank you. Very helpful
You're welcome! Let me know if it works for you
Life Of Tia How did it work out for you tia?
Thank you very much queen,my pics are 1yr old but I don't know the right products to use on my hair I always go to salon
Thank you!..Ive been doing it backwards.. I have starter locs so I dont think I messed up 2 bad bc too much water will unravel my coils but I still use rosewater throughout my scalp. I sure thought the oil goes first then the rosewater..lol glad I ran up on your video Queen Beautiful Silky Skin😍 good day!!
I use to retwist, they lasted for 3 weeks. But because I love touching my hair, I started interlocking and I love it.
YALL HER MELANIN🔥🔥🥺
I enjoy the lenghty videos you provide great in depth content that i enjoy learning from. And my retwist lasts about 2 weeks
Drink Water 👍🏾👍🏾
Yes that’s important
My retwists do not last for anything! It turns fro like after about a week and a half, at most 2 weeks but that's saying alot. I started my locs Nov 2017, but they took about 4-5 months to fully loc up. So it just seems like my new grow doesnt like to be loced lol. I'm working on the hydration and oil sealant part though, thanks for this!
Try interlocking . It’s last at least a month and for some up to 8 weeks
@@TheFirstGentleman thank you! I actually just found out about this, I definitely will!
i done retwist and i had to do it every month but then i just did instant locks and i love the outcome alot more
My retwist normally last two weeks. I can push three but that's when I'm lazy to wash it.lol
When i first started it was every 2 weeks.
Later on when I would get two strand twist it would be like 8 -12 weeks.
And when the colder months hit, I usually just run it the whole season until about Feb or March, then I'll get a retwist
My retwist last about 4 weeks but I stretch out getting them retwisted for 8 sometimes 16 weeks. Thanks for the info I usually just apply oil.
Marquita Smith I went 4 months without a retwist. I had so much new growth. I just got a retwist and it’s so beautiful, thick, and I’ve finally noticed them dropping. It was a struggle, but the rough look isn’t that bad when u dress a certain way and throw on earrings. I don’t do make up but it was actually cute
Holy melanin!! Beautiful! 🙌🏾🥺🤗
Thanks Queen 👑
My retwist only last a week without a style and 2 weeks with a style. I wait 1 month in between retwist, but I will continue to extend this ass my locs mature. In 2 months locc'd on my second set of locs. Thanks for the advice. My hair just seems like it feels dry, but locs are supposed to be dead hair, so how moisturized should they be? My problem is idk If they are dry or if I just dont know locs
Thanks for the advice was looking for the steps to moisturizing my locs didn’t know which one to use first..and 2-3 weeks is good lasting time
Absolutely love your locs💕💕💕😍😍😍 I’ve been locking my hair 3 years
You are a beautiful black woman. Thanks for the tips for the locs. Great advice for the loc journey.
I just made it a year my retwist usually only last 2to 3 weeks but thats it..after that it's just all over my head for about another three weeks or more because I don't like doing retwist too often. I try to retwist every month and a half.
Saturday September 19, 2020... My re-twist last 2 days... Thinking about interlocking from here on out... My hair grows extremely fast...
#greatvideo
thanks for the tips, I'm trying to retwist myself but it seems like it "looks" retwisted for about 2weeks. I just started using flaxseed eco style gel to retwist and I've been loc for a little over a year. I'm going to try rose water on my locs, and in my daughter hair to try to keep the moisture.
Thank you for this video it was very helpful in helping me better understand how to take care of my starter locs!
Thanks for sharing the information about oil being a sealant. I am transitioning from interlocking to twisting my roots, and my first retwist lasted a week. I wore it braided for about 4 days to get fullness. But it gradually just loosened up, and is now frizzy.
Hey! Love your videos !! I started my locs right around the same time as you did so every upload helps a lot. I try to retwist every 6 weeks and fight through the frizz because I don’t want my roots to be thin
very informative video and my retwist last about 1 month and i'm 2.5 years into my loc journey.
I’ve been locing for 2 yrs and i go every 3 months. And at that stage your at, I went about every 3 months also
Thank you for explaining. Makes perfect sense!
Do you use a dryer on your retwist? I have been locking for 15 years. My lock were not blow dried until about 11 yes when I attended a hairdresser. It would take 4 hrs to set otherwise. I don't retwist more than once every 3 months.
just started my journey today! thank you so much for your tips!!!
My first step is h20 my next step is my rosewater and aloe vera once I feel its hydrated then I use an oil or I use a water based moisturizer so far so 👍
My retwist usually lasts, a week. Than needs to be covered, by a week in a half. But I don’t retwist/ washes my locs for a month in a half. Going on 6months locd here in August 9th. Just constantly feels like I needs help on keeping up with my locs, or if im doing something wrong??
I love your content as usual! I’m 3 months into my 3rd loc journey and my retwists lasts about 2-2 1/2 weeks. 😊
you should not be retwisting your hair that often you're going to have breakage overtime I made the same mistake when I first locked 2 years ago you're better off retwisting every two to three months
Missegyptlatesha ok. Thank you for the advice however I don’t retwist every 2-2 1/2 weeks.... I wrap my hair up for a while and then retwist as needed. 😊
Idk how I understood this concept as a loose natural then as soon as i loc’d i through all that information out lol
I usually retwist my locs once a month, but they usually start to get extra frizzy around week 3.
YOU BETTER COME ON WITH THE FACTS ♥️♥️😌
😂😂
Hi sis. I'm glad I came across your video. I use water mix with vitamin e, tea tree and lavender and spray my hair morning and evening. Is that ok? Also what sealing oil do you recommend?
Hi! I know this video is old, but I’m having issues with moisturizing my scalp. It’s like you said oils are meant to seal the moisture so what I was doing before was applying the oils directly to my scalp and it made my scalp dry and it created dandruff from being so dry. What leave ins do you recommend to use? And also as for my water based product I mix aloe Vera juice with water and add jojoba oil, peppermint oil, & tea tree. Is that a good mix? I’m still trying to see what products work for me, but everything I try my scalp still becomes dry.
I had this issue. On my wash days about every 2- 4 weeks I put aloe vera plant on it..check out a video on it. Rinse it out only..then maintain my hair by daily sparying it with distilled/rose water first then I oil my scalp Now I Never have dry hair or scalp & my locs grow like crazy!!!
I do my re twist once a month I wash my hair twice a month and I used grape seed oil to keep the frizzy down
Great video! I recently started my channel on dreadlocks and I'm excited to be apart of the community! You were a great part of my inspiration. Keep making content! 💪🏾🔥
💪🏿 Welcome to the club!
@@naturalbeauty0214 thank you! Looking forward to the future ! Your channel is awesome ! Positive vibes all around! 👊🏾🙌🏾
My retwist lasts about 2 weeks without styling
So basically spray water on locs 💦 first then use a light Oil on scalp and locs ???? I exercise 3-4 days out the week so I sweat often my retwist last depending on how long I keep the style up and if I don’t get a twist and style I’ll say it last me a week
I am 1 year and getting colored tomorrow. my retwists lasts atleast 3-4 weeks. now I can go 6 or 7 weeks
I just cut 12 inches off of my 26 inch locs i retwisted them as well (july 25th) i been growing my locs since 2013 5 inch trim after a year. My scalp stays dry so I'm always scratching. I use your DIY loc mixture ( flaxseed tea tree Castor jojoba oil) moisture doesn't stay in my Locs very long neither does the retwist I say two weeks later I have a slight fro most likely from me scratching. I cut that much off because there were a lot of space things from my interlocking and having different people retwisting made those locks look weird so I did a major chop and I'm hoping to be more consistent in my retwist in my washing but I seriously need help with moisture and keeping my scalp from itching so much I love your Channel I used to watch it all the time before you had the twins but I fell off but I'm back now LOL
Thanks for coming back! You probably have low porosity hair like I do which makes it difficult for your hair to absorb moisture. Hot showers will help open your hair cuticles to absorb moisture. Try apply your moisture products after showers.
oil does seal in dryness i had to acv bkng soda lemon rinse three times to undo oil sealed dryness
My mom, stepdad and little brother oil their dread EVERYDAY. But I don’t, I oil 2-3 times a week. I have 4c hair, I have the toughest and thickest hair in my household. My mom tells me to oil it everyday but personally I believe I shouldn’t oil it everyday because my hair keeps in moisture especially water. The oil would stay in my hair for 1-2 days then when the smell of the oil is gone, that’s when I know to oil it again.. should I listen to my mom or keep doing what I’m doing? Someone help me out🥲
Hello I normally retwist my locs a month I use the hydrant spray and I oil my scalp Ive had my locs now for 5 months and they are really growing.
My retwist last 2week.💇♀️
Yes, I've been interlocking for about 13 years, and am switching to retwisting due to advice that interlocking will cause thinning. I am noticing thinning, and I am waiting longer between having anything done.
I retwist every 6 weeks, im newly loc, I moisturized and oil my scalp every day I also work in health care and during this 2020 - pandemic I have been wrapping my hair while at work, even at home cooking cleaning im always warped up. Help me
You are so Beautiful.
My twist turned locs, are tailbone length with over 230+. I agree with the liquid oil method. My retweet is 2 months, my goal is to get to 3 months. To prevent from locs thinning. The longer they become, I have to consider & protect the
foundation/base/roots.
#teamnothinninglocs
Do you retwist (twist at the root palm roll) or interlock?
@@brittneer8940 Hi Hun, I roll, w/out palm rolling, if that make sense. I'm concerned of thinning out over time(majority of mines are a lil smaller than a drinking straw). So I only twist my new growth. I've just tried the water & oil method for the first time. Hopefully it'll fix my build up issues..
I don't have the means to retwist properly so I use rubber bands until I can get to big city to have someone do it for me. Is this ok? My problem I just noticed is I thought the rubber bands would just break and fall out naturally BUT THEY ARE NOT. WILL THIS Damage my locks in the future?? Please help.
I’m almost 3months I spray and oil my hair when needed but my only concern is my locs look so afroish. Am I supposed to be spraying my locs as needed or just my scalp? I feel like when I spray my locs my buds just puffs out. Is that normal?
My retwists last like a week and some days I workout a lot
Style your hair in 2 strand twists, I work out 5-6 days a week and this style helps my locs last 3-4 weeks.
Traci Jones i wear a dri sweat headband usually but sometimes I’ll put a bandanna on
I was told to put on a stocking cap if I’m gonna be sweating a lot and don’t take it off until my hair drys
u are beautiful and ur skin tone is soo gorg
If you have low porosity hair do you have to heat the hydrant up in order to open the cuticle? I feel like when I do the LO method and use a leave in conditioner and oil, which is regular temperature,my hair is still dry unless I’m using the wrong oil any help would be greatly appreciated
tlovespeaksss my hair really loves jojoba oil ! You should try it
It definitely helps. You can heat up the oil to make a hot oil treatment. Also taking hot showers before applying products will help open up your cuticles. What oils are you using?
NaturalBeauty0214 thanks! Jojoba and Argan but I’ve been using the beauty supply kind and I think I need to get a purer kind
Some time back i had sister locks but i cut my hair coz i couldn't maintain it. Your locks looks healthy
Thank you. Thinking about starting a new set?
Being disabled it's hard to do myself because of keeping my arms up and yes that get painful, now during this time all salons and hair supplies businesses are closed, please advise, I'm not too old to learn new things, thanking you in advance
I would love to see what you are covering then with and how you do it. Please make a video.
