i just have to say how refreshing it is to see non perfect parts. I didnt use a comb to make neat parts and i rarely see that with others. I think it's so lovely!
Your locs are beautiful!!
Thank you love! Yeah my locs are anything BUT perfect 😅
A trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
@August Coleman Definitely, have been using Flixzone for months myself :)
My loc parts arnt perfect either. I started with 2 strand twist and I had 4 hours to do them on a break at work. So I have different size locs, different parts but I love it
@@CailinnNoTthis is me lol they are imperfect but perfect for me . I love them messy it’s natural
Girl I’ve been using nature’s blessing my whole loc journey and the retwist last so long. And no build up!!
What’s the product name
That's all you need. That's what I use, greese, oil, and water, not in that order, not all at once either. Grease on my scalp only when my scalp is dry, small amount of oil for shine on my locs. Water/rose water for hydration daily (I skip a couple days if I oil my hair the day before).
I can't use castor oil cause it make my skin itch, and so do some oils.
I use avocado with peppermint oil.
I've been using hair grease since I started growing hair during my infancy stage. The same grease my mother use is same hair grease I use now. I don't care what ingredients it have in it. My hair is full, and i have no thinning issues. I don't get build up either because I don't put anything crazy in my locs, or do anything crazy to my locs. I also wash my hair with regular shampoo 😱😁.
I've found out that Blue Magic hair grease is the TRUTH for keeping locs healthy, I just happened to use some on a person's
locs that was maintaining and his locs grew so long 😍 and pretty.
Really? There was no buildup?
@@vintagefiasco2271 No ma'am, I use it now for me and son's locs just oil your scalp with it you don't need a lot at all, I'm telling you Blue Magic is the truth for loc maintenance.
@justha vingfun You're welcome, good luck to you and God bless you ❤️
Thanks for the info! I absolutely love Blue Magic and didn't know i could use grease on my locs (I'm 10 months in). I'm super excited to do my hair now!!
@@lbridge6112 You're welcome, and you don't have to worry about blue magic hair grease leaving build up in your locs 👍
I think your locs are absolutely beautiful. I'm close to 2yrs being locd myself, currently 22 months, I'm just starting to see growth, when it's wet I see the growth, but, now, I'm starting to see it dry.
I’ve always loved Natures Blessing! And it smells amazing 😍
Beautiful locs... I have 354 micro locs. I don't retwist I interlock, I grease my scalp, bc oil does nothing for my scalp! I don't have any build up either, thank God. We have to do what works for us. To each his/her own ❤
I second that everybody hair is different you got to do what's right for you and to me nature blessing is more like a oil than a grease
@@robinsmith2118 I have to try nature's blessing. I always see it, I'm going to get some this weekend. Have a blessed day hun ☺
Hey Desiree , I will be from Kansas City to NY next weekend. Unfortunately not for pleasure, a funeral . Maybe we can meet up and do a subbie meet and greet , that would be great 😜
Also I can get some of that natures blessing let me know where you get it
Exactly! I actually have to use products on my locs not oil and water 😂 People are always preaching
Incredible. I never knew there were natural greases. But then again, I've never done research in that area.
My first couple retwists were done with an unnatural grease recommended by a very popular TH-camr. My hair was a hot mess lol. Trial and error is what I learned
That’s how it is lol but you always learn from those moments
Natures Blessings smells so lovely! I love it on my hair/scalp & my 1 yr old daughters loose hair loves it vs Softee hair grease from what I've noticed.
Black seed oil is good too. It helped me with my thinning edges and just the overall thickness/shine
I might try next time I retwist my locs with nature blessing and I use nature blessings on my scalp and I use almond oil as well. I normally retwist with some loc and twist gel to retwist and I use almond oil for my scalp. You’re retwist came out so beautifully 🤗👍👏.
Love your video though. You’re very helpful. I’ve ordered my Nature’s Blessings pomade.
Your locs look great! Nice self retwist.
I recently did a water only retwiat and loved it. I will be using nothing but water and jbco from now on.
What's jbco?
@@stefbarks Jamaican black castor oil
Yeah you really don’t need anything to retwist.. I tried that way once and I might just go back to it
I use oil and water for my retwist. Your retwist looked good.
Great tips! Thanks! I just ordered the products from Amazon!
Your locs are gorg 😍 Officially a new subbie! Did you start your locs with two strand twists or comb coils? Also how long did it take your locs to be smooth instead of frizzy all the way down the loc? Thanks in advance for your answer.
I only use oil and water to retwist. That grease looks nice -- never tried it because I'm sketical of anything solid at room temp, but have always heard good things.
Hey love ❤️! I might have missed you saying it one of your other videos. If so, please point me to the video. I was curious to when and why you switched from the Nature’s Blessing Hair Food to the Pomade? I have both. And I like the pomade much better. It is thicker of course because of the mineral jelly. The Hair Food is thinner. I’m sure the Pomade holds better and lasts longer. It definitely smells much better too. Many people sleep on the benefits of mineral oil when we started going natural. It began to receive bad press over time as something unnatural. But when tested it locs in the moisture into our hair more than any other oil that is used. Castor oil is an emollient and humectant. It aids in locking moisture in and attraction moisture too. It can be sticky if too much is used attracting dirt and lint. However, using this combination to retwist once a month just seems like a winner from their properties. I’ve used the Pomade for a retwist alone and loved it. Moisture for more than a week. My hair has always loved castor oil more than any other oil when I was a loose natural. Thanks for sharing and I just adore 🥰 and covet your locs love 💕!
These oils and grease should only be applied to the scalp/skin of the head. Oil and water don’t mix, this it causes buildup inside the locs. The oils and grease you’re using are fine, just use on the scalp. Blessings.
My starter locs are new.
The stylist I went to used gel in my hair and she told me to come back in 3 weeks. I have natures blessings grease and Jamaican black tea tree Castor oil. I want to wash the gel out with a durag on, and then moisturize my scalp with those two products. But I dont know yet. Should I do that or should I wait to avoid over moisturizing the starter locs out?
Rah Sheid I say be patient. When you are ready to shampoo then you can use your preferred products.
@@rah_soj3rsey Do what you think is best for your locs. It's your hair, everyone's hair is different. If you think the gel isn't going to work out for you, wash it out and redo your locs with your desired products. I do say wait for those 3 weeks at least so there won't be unraveling, but after those 3 weeks if you want don't go back and just use the products you want!
Looks lovely 👍🏾👌🏾💖. I don’t use gels to retwist my Locs I find them drying I just use oil.
I’ve heard of Nature’s Blessings from a few years back before I started my Channel. I’ve always wanted to try it but was a little apprehensive so you’ve experienced no buildup?? 🤔.
Your hair did look well moisturised and shiny.
NOTE: The link you put in your description box was not for nature’s blessings it was for Aloe Vera Shampoo?? I don’t know if you realised?....anyway the shampoo looked interesting so might check that out on Amazon UK site. Thanks for sharing. 🇬🇧 😉☺️😆
I will definitely try this method out
Sooo healthy! Thanks for sharing!
People making stupud comments like they cant wash there hair.
I LOVE Nature's Blessings!! 😍 I'm going to try this with mine.
Your locs are gorgeous❤
Hey Lovely lady..great vid..did you do this on damp hair...thanks & blessings
REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU USE, THEY ALL WILL BUILD UP AT SOME POINT😔 MOISTURE IS IMPORTANT TO LOCS AND THAT IS WHAT SHE IS DOING, STAYING HEALTHY😀 YOU CAN ALWAYS WASH YOUR LOCS😔
Beautiful locs ♥️
Does the grease leave any kind of residue? Or does the castor oil help with that? I’ve have issues with build up before. Thank you
Do an ACV baking soda rinse at your next wash. Grease and products cause so much build up.
What would you suggest retwisting with? So you only have to do a acv rinse once a year as suggested.
Just use some damn dawn soap
Looks great and healthy 👍👌
How about using cactus 🌵 oil instead ? Jamaican black castor oil leaves an odor which even transfers to hats, scarfs, etc.
I'm trying it sis🎉🎉🎉
Your hair texture look like like mine. I think the castle oil is the only thing that can, besides gel, hold my hair down.
Grease sounds scary😳 but I guess see how your hair manages with this in 3 months... I just wash use light oil sometimes Jamaican black castor oil.... and interlock. Have 200locs now.. I combined over 20
during my journey tried so much nothing holds or to much build up . i jus ordered i want to try
FYI: “thyme” is pronounced “time”.
Do you still do this? I did this with Blue Magic last night and love the results!
I was reading the comments to see if someone speak on blue magic. I been using this grease for year's and my mom used it on me when I was a little girl, and now I use it on my daughter with her non-loc hair. Thank you
I might try it out.
Yea it’s great for loc scalp….. don’t use a lot
Did you use only oil for starter locs as well?
I like waiting the next day to Retwist also.
My hair acts better.
I will try the Blessings pomade.
I heard it is really good for awhile now.
Your Locs look great.
So do you retwist on dry hair? Or spray it down before you retwist?

@@troutfamilylife551
Hello there is no way you can Retwist with dry hair.
You have to wet it some kind of way before you retwist it.
Lol u don’t retwist when it’s dry suppose to be wet
They sell vegan hair grease on Etsy
I'm dying to see you do a ACV rinse
Dying? LOL I have plenty videos
I was told I couldn’t use grease with locs
2 1/2 hours.... my hair would be bone dry by then. How long is your hair actually taking to dry???
She might not squeeze her hair all the way out
i got that its good
do u use a lot of grease
Wow! …I just bought the Jamaican Mango and Lime and I don’t want it now 🤣
I love ❤ your locs video okk
I use grease too otherwise my hair is hard and dry...buildup will happen no matter what if you dnt kno how to clean your hair
DezzzzzzzzE ❤👑
How long does your retwist last using the grease and black castor oil?
That’s what I want to know!
I absolutely ❤ your locs. My journey is a bit discouraging but hoping for the best. I Like your videos too.
Don't give up
I won't ☺
Why is it discouraging if you don't mind me asking?
@@latasha4572 because it's my first loc journey and i want a great turn out. I'm hearing all about the "right" and "wrong" products to use 😵 and it's overwhelming information for one. I was wondering about parting system cause my loctician never discussed why she chose it. I want thick locs but it's coming out looking like small to medium locs instead. I want to keep my hair healthy and i stress over how it will look in the end.
Yours look great by the way!! ❤❤ mine is similar to yours
I need someone to dread my hair
Wow, your hair doesn't look as if it needed to be retwisted
You should only twist to the right. The hair grows in a Helix. You will have breakage long run.
Aelicia Allen I agree. I’ve had dreads over 15 years. It’s true. U have to train them. They will turn on u if u don’t. Trust and believe.
I cringed when she twisted left like nooooooooo
do u blow dry
🤐
Will someone address the 'Scalpy Look'??
How do U avoid it??
Not attractive in My opinion.....
I think it has more to do with the density of your hair & the thickness of your follicles. Usually those w finer hair tend to have that "scalpy look". Im not sure if it can be avoided w that hair type.
Scalp look is from getting retwist
Mineral jelly aka Petroleum jelly all from the same process mineral oil used in the industrial processing materials used for production of all plastics, nylon, etc etc etc synthetic materials products, why not buy the essential oils listed on the label and used first cold pressing, extra virgin olive oil as your carrier Oil to making your
your own homemade blend of essential herbal hair oil,
*First cold pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the very first pressings of the ripe olive fruits done manually by mechanical pressing methods without the use of heat, thus naturally moisturising, nourishing, and easily observed by the skin, aka Biblical holy Oil, used by our Biblical Ancient Ancestors the Ancient of days to anointing Kings, and still used today to anointing Kings and Queens Royal family members babies on their christening, Pope's, Bishop's, priests, Muslims mullahs, Jewish Rabi, used by Jewish and Muslim's people as kosher and halal hair and body moisturiser oil.
First pressed Extra virgin olive oil was used by our Ancient Ancestors the Ancient of as a hairdressing and body oil, whilst the European Neanderthals Troglodytes were still crawling around on all fours and eating each other for their meat. Before our Ancient Ancestors the Ancient of days brought them civilisation. Who then later turned against them to enslave their future descendants children children, stripping away all knowledge of ourselves, even the knowledge of self care was denied us, why even laws were made to prevent us from showing our hair which had to be kept shaved, and used for stuffing the seat of furniture, or kept firmly hidden under rough calico cloth, out of sight of the jealous slave mistress, (because the slave mistress didn't want to see the living proof of the people her slave owner husband had fathered every time she raised her eyes to look up).
So we lost all knowledge of ourselves, instead reduced to scraping and collecting the pig fat from the dishwashing water after washing the plates from the masters table to use as hair grease, for we had forgotten about the care first pressed ingredients of ripe olive fruits of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil was once known to our Biblical Ancient Ancestors as holy Oil, was used by our Ancient Ancestors the Ancient of days for tens of hundreds thousands centuries before the European enslaved them, and stole the secret of their hair care holy oil, the anointing oil of Kings, and Queens pressed from the fruit of the blessed tree of peace the olive fruit tree.
Where did you read this??
@@missshannonsunshine I’d like to know too.
Gypsy Curls just google olive oil and islam
That pomade contains mineral jelly which is a semi solid of petroleum and used a stablizer in explosives. I don't think that is a good ingredient.
Janice Weathers it’s not harmful
Wym black folks been using that for years like even in the 30's-50's my grandma use to use that when she was a child
It really isn’t harmful at all. Mineral oil vs all other oils is far superior at keeping textured hair moisturized. All the research I have done shows that time after time. Also, somehow it mineral oil got a bad rep and it is hard for it to recover from bad and wrong press. Believe me, I used to eschew anything and everything mineral oil and petroleum. My hair paid for it too. Nothing was like it, and I am more open to it than I ever have been since my young days of Blue Magic and Royal Crown.
Can't tell some people anything!!!!! I don't even try anymore!.... Just educate myself and do ME!!!!!!!
Your locs are beautiful. Actually oil and grease attract dirt and may cause buildup on your beautiful babies even when washed. Make sure to do a avc and baking soda rinse in near future. Oil and grease is not moisture sweetie, water is, but I do understand why you may need the oil to stop the flyaways. Still pretty though, God bless
Happy U told her!!!!!!!
Me too!
Some things can only be learned through experience.
You pretty call me
You will surely wind up with a ton of build-up. It might not be today it might not be tomorrow it might be a year or two from now but I guarantee your hair will be full of buildup
