I just started my locs 7/28/22 and I really appreciate your video of what to do and not do. I didn't know about putting oil in my hair, keeping my hands out of my hair and the wig cap way of washing my hair. I'm going over to IG to follow you and check out your products. Keep up the informative videos my beautiful sister 🥰
Thanks for this. My Sun started locks this year…after asking for two years. I finally agreed after he turned 10, but I’m clueless! He does go to a lock-tician but I do want to be more educated about locks so that I can support him through the process. 💙 He loves his little locks and I love that he loves them.

I am not an expert on anything other then my own hair. I have had locs on an off for 20 years. I have been natural on and off forever. I have interlocs and they are about waist length. People ask me what do I do and I tell them it is benign neglect. I get my hair done every two months. I wash my hair maybe once a month. I avoid any products in my hair other then when she does it. I have never wrapped it and only wear a bonnet when it annoys me because I am laying on it. I don’t disagree with anything you said but this is my journey with my crazy hair. I especially agree with not enjoying the starter year but by it went so fast!
I’m 4 months locked and I love them. I spray often with water, aloe Vera and rose water. I started my own and I get excited seeing others journey. I have almost 300 sister locs.
Oh no ma’am because they will lock. Even the ones that come unloose you don’t want to keep messing with them. I know we want them to always look neat but they are not no matter what we do
Thanks for this video. I had my hair two strand twisted by a beautician who is not a loc specialist at all. We went with the two strand twist because my hair is straight. No perm, just after a press it never got curly again. The roots aren't twisted tight like I see most starter locs and I'm afraid they weren't started right. And she didn't put them in a style. I'm not sure what product she used, and because she's not a loc specialist she didn't give me any advise. That's why I'm so grateful for this video. THANK YOU!
Same here big fan Damian’s for years and now definitely excited I’ve found your channel as well 🙌🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾 I just started my locs today. Lol 😂 I’ve researched locs for years. Now it’s time to do you do both justice 👊🏾. Pray for me. Thanks again for the beautiful video 👑
i’m locking the back & leaving the front braided first just to see if i have the patience to lock my entire head… i have 3C hair so the unraveling is a real thing at the nape… I two strand twisted the bottom row and coiled the rest… so far so good✌🏾
Thank you the tips on how to care for your locs. The do’s and don’ts. This is my second journey for locs and by watching these videos they are very educational for me to main healthier locs. Thank you for this information
I'm 3 weeks in with comb coil...I'm 4c...the person that did my starter locs told me she will retwist in 4weeks but won't wash me for 6 months....and only oil my parts when dry...the top back starter locs I think is too big from the rest of the locs.....I want to wash them out and just say forget it😢
Thank you for all of excellent advice. I had locs be four & trusted the wrong person to color my hair & it killed my hair. I did the big chop years ago but missed them so much. My husband really wants me Re-loc as well.
Hi, I'm definitely nervous but I'm doing some research on starting my locs but I have thin, fine hair. What lock type and parting style do you recommend?
Thank you for sharing the information. Would you mind doing a video on caring for freeform or semi-freeform locs, as this is my journey. I will make sure to put it in a style. Again, thank you for your time and information.
Love the video very informative 😊 your locs are beautiful. Could you go more into depth about the different oils for everyday use and other ways to moisturize
Thank you sis..I'm with you on the starter lock journey..you were such a blessing to come across..and also I subscribed love peace and jojoba grease!!!😄🥰🙏😉
Thank you! I want to learn how to do natural locs I would like to add them to my hair journey even thou I’ve been wearing braids for a long time just thinking 🤔
I’m starting my loc journey fairly soon, I am so overwhelmed with all the info that’s out, I don’t know where or what to decipher. What questions should I be asking upon a loc consultation?
I completely understand that. I’d love to make a video explaining that soon! In the meantime I’ll be making some notes and I’ll return to this comment with some insight shortly ♥️
Love your advice the only thing I don’t agree with is oils to use…. Coconut oil in fact is one of the best oils to use with or by it’s self They found that coconut oil was better at preventing protein loss than both the mineral and sunflower oils when applied either before or after the hair was washed. In fact, coconut oil came out on top in alot of studies and reduced protein loss in hair that was undamaged, bleached, chemically treated and UV exposed… It is also the only oil that is predominantly made up of a medium-chain fatty acid called lauric acid which gives coconut oil a long, straight structure, making it more easily absorbed deep into the hair shaft.
Interesting. Please share the source of this information. I'd like to know if that study was conducted on people with afro-textured hair. I physically work with clients daily who all share the same sentiments about coconut oil. It isn't moisturizing enough on its own. Feel free to watch my most recent video about oils for locs. I talk further about coconut oil.
I would like to know do you use sea salt water on your beginner starter Locs and I just want to let you know you are beautiful and I really appreciate your advice because I am starting my beginner starter Locs
I had locs before and I plan on getting them again . I don’t even remember my ugly stage too much lol . I remember one day then boom my hair was locd lol my hair was very short it must’ve locd fast lol I also have NO pictures of my ugly stage
I had very dry hair and when I twisted I used more oil than usual to seal in the moisture. Now I am kinda worried about the build up. I used jojoba oil & flaxseed gel only.
Hi, so I’m starting my luxe and they’re like tiny and I cut my hair really short so I’m using Castrol black oil and rosewater and peppermint oil together in a spray bottle. Is that OK to do for the next three months of my journey
I typically recommend separating the oil and water, but I have clients who do something similar and it works for them. Make sure the castor oil isn't too thick and causing buildup over time.
I started my locs in January this year and where I did them they used wool to keep them intact but I found the wool to be thinning them out at the ends as I had collarbone length hair when I started my locs. I took the wool out and I just wanted to find out if I should start over or if I should just let my hair form on its own now.
I’ve never heard of that method but I always urge my clients to keep their hair far away from abrasive fabrics, including wool. I’m not surprised that it caused damage but I’m glad you removed it! Feel free to send me pictures on Instagram @c.Grayton and I’ll help!
Great advice overall! Im on this journey with my children and myself. What do you advice if the parts were started un evenly? Can they be fixed? Without the pulling and breaking strands? My 3 yrold has locks but when I started I did not make even parts because of how her hair was growing in.
My hair is really soft in certain places, what should I do if they come a loose?, I will let the stylist take care of my locs when she start them tho for the locs.
This was extremely helpful. My loctician did the braid method and I’ve been finding myself wetting my braid locs often for appearance reasons. Should I stop doing this? It has been 3 months. I am seeing some progress maybe not as much as I would like. Is this information the same for braid locs?
@@CourtneyGrayton thank you :) also, my starter locs are pretty short but i wanted to know if there is a way i can get them to stand up more instead of laying down?
Peace, I just started my Locs 3 days ago. Thank you so much for sharing this information. I heard that you must moisturize them by adding light oil. However I thought your not supposed to put any water on it for 4 weeks or until the first eeriest. Could you clarify? And my hair is super dry lol. ThAnk you.
Here are my thoughts on that: Faux Locs + Box Braids Over Locs: Advice from a Loctician | Avoid Thinning & Breakage th-cam.com/video/_a5K2MHruyE/w-d-xo.html
My locs were started 2/15/21. I had heat damage in the front, so they're a little straight there. Started with 100 locs. At retwist I'm getting the crown area separated. Want 125-180 small locs. My loctician and I decided I'll wait 4-6 weeks for my first wash and retwist. I'm excited about this journey. Everything you mentioned, we discussed as well. Thank you for confirmation! I want to wash, after my first retwist, every 2 weeks(have dermatitis in scalp, can get flaky) with a cap at home. I don't plan to retwist until every 6 weeks at that point. What are your thoughts? Also, because I know water helps moisturize of course, would misting your hair every other day and air drying(but nothing else) be ok ? New subscriber here!!
Honestly, that sounds like a great plan you and your loctician came up with! I wouldn’t only use water because it’ll evaporate from your hair and it’ll probably feel more dry. You definitely want to seal that water in with a lightweight oil like one of the ones I mentioned in this video. Thank you so much tor watching and subscribing!
@@CourtneyGrayton You're welcome. I added tea tree, vitamin e, hemp, and jamaican black castor oil(this is the oil mixture I use) to my spray bottle. Thanks again!
I had my starter locs done yesterday. I asked for a full look and it's huge blocks with sleek locs. My hair is about 6+ inches and is very thick. Can I untwist each loc and make it into 2 locs to create a fuller look
I have color treated starter locs, so I’ve been using deep conditioners, but rinsing them out right away after my hair feels moisturized. Is this okay? Thanks for the informative video✨ I am two weeks in with braids
@@CourtneyGrayton I appreciate your reply! That’s the main reason why I decided to go with braids, my scalp tends to get dandruff and I have to wash a little bit more often! Thanks for the advice ❤️
Try to pluck as much of it out as possible and use soothing oils for the itching. If the flaking is excessive, you should get it checked out by a dermatologist to determine the cause of the flaking
Hi I’m thinking about getting locs but I have alopecia in the middle of my head. Do you have any suggestions for me? Do you think I should get them or not?
A bonnet would cause frizz as your locs move around in it all night. I typically recommend tying them down flat with a scarf or locsoc. Then u can put a bonnet on top!
Hello I hope u can answer my questions plz do lol..I 2strand twisted my hair it looks good but the very back bottom keeps coming loose is there anything that I can do to keep them from coming out until it locs plz help thank u..any one can help me it will be appreciated thanks..
Sure! You should look up videos on palm roll! I should have a video up soon but in case you retwist before then, there are numerous videos on here. Make sure to twist the hair back if it unravels.
I plan to do a two strand twist to start my locs. When washing before starting do I wash and condition or just wash alone and twist with just the light oil?

I completely understand that. I’d love to make a video explaining that soon! In the meantime I’ll be making some notes and I’ll return to this comment with some insight shortly ♥️
Love your advice the only thing I don’t agree with is oils to use…. Coconut oil in fact is one of the best oils to use with or by it’s self They found that coconut oil was better at preventing protein loss than both the mineral and sunflower oils when applied either before or after the hair was washed.
In fact, coconut oil came out on top in alot of studies and reduced protein loss in hair that was undamaged, bleached, chemically treated and UV exposed…
It is also the only oil that is predominantly made up of a medium-chain fatty acid called lauric acid which gives coconut oil a long, straight structure, making it more easily absorbed deep into the hair shaft.
Interesting. Please share the source of this information. I'd like to know if that study was conducted on people with afro-textured hair.

started my locs 12-20-20 and i can shake and they're maturing
The best feeling, right? Lol Congrats on starting!
I would like to know do you use sea salt water on your beginner starter Locs and I just want to let you know you are beautiful and I really appreciate your advice because I am starting my beginner starter Locs
Thank you! I do not use it nor have I ever recommended but I have heard of people using it. I can do more research and report back.
i started mine and i spray water in the scalp to hydrate and oil
Good! Has it helped?
Starting mine on Thursday ❤️ 2-25-21 with two strand twists
Congrats!! You’ll love them! 🙌🏾
Hey destiny started mine a day after you 2-26-21
What products should u use when starting locs
I had locs before and I plan on getting them again . I don’t even remember my ugly stage too much lol . I remember one day then boom my hair was locd lol my hair was very short it must’ve locd fast lol I also have NO pictures of my ugly stage
That's good! You must have enjoyed the stage!
Started my locs 3/2020
Congrats!!
Started mine with freeform on 4/21
congrats!! I love freeforms
Started my loc , journey today . I’m so nervous , plus I have seborrheic dermatitis !
I had very dry hair and when I twisted I used more oil than usual to seal in the moisture. Now I am kinda worried about the build up. I used jojoba oil & flaxseed gel only.
You will be fine! Make sure to wash your hair in 4 weeks
getting mines tomorrow
I’m still contemplating om whether to do locs😂😂🤦🏿♀️
What’s your hesitation?
Just started them yesterday with 2strand twist🥺pray for me
Will do! You’ll be fine ✨

Thank you! 🥰
Started my loc journey 12/29 and I am so excited but scared of them unraveling randomly 🥲 but I'm excited to see where this goes
Hi I love your hair the way it is lol but what if someone has a head full of hair thick do you suggest starter locs will it be the same dos and donts
Hi, so I’m starting my luxe and they’re like tiny and I cut my hair really short so I’m using Castrol black oil and rosewater and peppermint oil together in a spray bottle. Is that OK to do for the next three months of my journey

I am starting my dredds tonight. I am left handed. Does it matter that I dredd to the left instead of the right?
That’s not a problem. The standard is to twist to the right so if you ever get your hair maintained by someone else, tell them to twist to the left.
Great advice overall! Im on this journey with my children and myself. What do you advice if the parts were started un evenly? Can they be fixed? Without the pulling and breaking strands? My 3 yrold has locks but when I started I did not make even parts because of how her hair was growing in.

Congratulations!!! 🙌🏾
I have. Soft fine hair and got starter two strand twist locs... Should I wait 4 weeks b4 retwist ?
Yes!
Just started mine yesterday and I freaking love it ! Question I haven’t done a lock count but I estimate between 60-70. Is that a good amount
Where is your website for your products?
They will be relaunching in September. Please stay updated via Instagram instagram.com/froetry
Omg! I started my loc journey and I use beeswax 😭!! What should I use instead??
This was extremely helpful. My loctician did the braid method and I’ve been finding myself wetting my braid locs often for appearance reasons. Should I stop doing this? It has been 3 months. I am seeing some progress maybe not as much as I would like. Is this information the same for braid locs?
I recommend every couple days! Moisturize and seal, as described in this video ♥️
I'm also braidloc'd sis. For me the growth is slow but i see progress
i wake up in the morning and they are kind of frizzy but i just got them a couple days ago
Frizz is inevitable! embrace it as apart of the journey. One day you may miss it!
@@CourtneyGrayton thank you :) also, my starter locs are pretty short but i wanted to know if there is a way i can get them to stand up more instead of laying down?
@@user-no4uf1hf6k allow steam to hit them. Don’t get them wet, but steam from like a shower should make them stand uo
If one unravel in the fist stage what can you do
Peace, I just started my Locs 3 days ago. Thank you so much for sharing this information. I heard that you must moisturize them by adding light oil. However I thought your not supposed to put any water on it for 4 weeks or until the first eeriest. Could you clarify? And my hair is super dry lol. ThAnk you.
So what's the best product to use for starter locs on 4c hair vs. Loose curl or 3b hair that won't weigh the hair down and keep the loc locked?
Should i do box braids or anything over my locs?

Also, because I know water helps moisturize of course, would misting your hair every other day and air drying(but nothing else) be ok ? New subscriber here!!
Honestly, that sounds like a great plan you and your loctician came up with! I wouldn’t only use water because it’ll evaporate from your hair and it’ll probably feel more dry. You definitely want to seal that water in with a lightweight oil like one of the ones I mentioned in this video. Thank you so much tor watching and subscribing!
@@CourtneyGrayton You're welcome. I added tea tree, vitamin e, hemp, and jamaican black castor oil(this is the oil mixture I use) to my spray bottle. Thanks again!
I had my starter locs done yesterday. I asked for a full look and it's huge blocks with sleek locs. My hair is about 6+ inches and is very thick. Can I untwist each loc and make it into 2 locs to create a fuller look
Sorry to hear that. I’ve heard of it being done!
Hello, just started my journey 5/5/21. The loctician used beeswax :(, what's the best alternative? And can I get rid of it?
Yes, hopefully when you wash it, it will all come out. You need to use a gel. Here’s what I use: amzn.to/33txUYD
@@CourtneyGrayton thanks for the advice ☺️
I have color treated starter locs, so I’ve been using deep conditioners, but rinsing them out right away after my hair feels moisturized. Is this okay? Thanks for the informative video✨ I am two weeks in with braids
If you have braid locs, you shouldn’t have to worry about much unraveling. You should be good!
& it’s my pleasure, thanks for watching ♥️
@@CourtneyGrayton I appreciate your reply! That’s the main reason why I decided to go with braids, my scalp tends to get dandruff and I have to wash a little bit more often! Thanks for the advice ❤️
Just started mines 7/18/21
Within the first 4 weeks, how should I deal with flakes and itchy scalp if I can’t wash it? Just started my journey!
Try to pluck as much of it out as possible and use soothing oils for the itching. If the flaking is excessive, you should get it checked out by a dermatologist to determine the cause of the flaking
i’ve been considering locs, but i have a question. could i wear like a glueless wig over a starter locs style? or would that disrupt the process
There are definitely things to consider. I’ll be recording a video on this topic this week, actually!
Thank youv
It’s my pleasure!
Hi
I started my micro locs 2 strand twists with human hair extentions in
Do you have any tips on how to take care of them for me
Hi I just got my hair loc pls it’s itching wat do I do ?shld I apply tea tree oil or castor oil 😭
Hi I’m thinking about getting locs but I have alopecia in the middle of my head. Do you have any suggestions for me? Do you think I should get them or not?
It does depend but go for smaller rather than bigger and stay away from tension and interlocking!
How did you become a loctician?
What about a bonnet? Is that okay? I’m about to loc mine. You could of said that and I missed it.
A bonnet would cause frizz as your locs move around in it all night. I typically recommend tying them down flat with a scarf or locsoc. Then u can put a bonnet on top!
Is wild growth hair oil light?
Check out this video to get my recommendations for different oils and how to use them:

Mean?
@@CourtneyGrayton thank you for answering ❤
You may need to keep reinstalling the twist until the hair tangles and begins to loc. Depending on ur hair texture, it may take a little while to loc
Hello i started my son starter locs with the 2 strand twist method can you give any advice on how to retwist i dont want to damage his hair
Sure! You should look up videos on palm roll! I should have a video up soon but in case you retwist before then, there are numerous videos on here. Make sure to twist the hair back if it unravels.
i really enjoyed your video
Hi how many time do u have to wash u dreadlocks please
Once a month
I just started mine last week. Do you have recommendations for ppl with long sideburns? They’ve been untamable through my relaxed and natural journey.
Just got mine 4-23-21
Anybody recommend wild growth oil for starter locs
How do i know if a product is heavy or lightweight?
How it makes your hair feel. Usually if it's water-based, it's more lightweight.
I plan to do a two strand twist to start my locs. When washing before starting do I wash and condition or just wash alone and twist with just the light oil?
I’d shampoo & condition!
