Girllllll!!! I didn't use products for the first 4.5 years just about. I started using oils a little here and there once I noticed my hair needing some TLC. But now that my locs are mature I do use conditioner every now and then, usually in the winter...I do PR Charles winter regimen to prevent and combat the horrendous dryness. Cuando regresé de Peru a mi isla y mi cabello estaba muy seco...entonces....I conditioned them!!! I have come to realize you have to do what works for your hair. My locs are mature about 6 years now, so every wash I oil and when needed I condition. I am actually going to try dr.locs ....and see... Thanks for the update
Lo unico que me preocupa es la idea de que ... ¿que pasa si quede un poco del conditioner cada vez que me lavo el pelo?.... temo que, despues de años del uso del conditioner, el residuo aumenta el peso de los locs y resulta en la perdida del cabello. Es posible que me embalo con todo eso pero no me quiero causar daño 😬
@@Bindi_Marc Well, la verdad es que, uso el acondicionador (a veces con un poco agua) y después lavo mi cabello con el champú. Enjuago con aqua y vinagre de manzana. Tengo caspa entonces cada mes, antes de la cita (of retightening) lavo mi cuero cabelludo con bicarbonato de sodio y vinagre de manzana. I think that if you cleanse and rinse very well you can avoid build up. I am very intentional about how I do my hair and my loctitian can feel how light my hair is, when it is drier than normal...etc. I can feel the dryness as well, and with dryness come breakage for me so I make a real effort to combat it ...with out build up or damage. Tengo mucho mas que puedo decirte pero ahora voy a estudiar. Pienso que tu no vas a dañar tu cabello. Bendiciones y feliz semana.
Your locs are just beautiful. This is how I originally wanted my hair to look but I didn’t think it was possible. I love my locs now but seeing your hair still makes me very happy. I’m curious if others would also have locs pretty similar to this!
Damien Walter is the reason I have used conditioner from the beginning of my loc journey. The key is to thoroughly rinse. I haven't had any build up and I am 2.5 years loc'd.
I appreciated the closeups and your thoughts of how your hair is progressing & the considerations of different ways to grow locs. I always enjoy your videos!
I think conditioner and hot oil treatments have been great in maintaining moisture on my locs. They matured very quickly, my loctician cannot believe that I am only 11 months in, because they look so mature and are very healthy, and I have been using conditioner from day one.
Yanni the locologist explains very well why it is best not to over oil the scalp and how to moisterize the hair and scalp without causing buildup. So basically build up on your scalp causes your hair to meet resistance when growing and will slow down, or hinder, hair growth, because of the blockage to the hair follicale. She recommends rose water mixed with vitamin e oil in a spray bottle for light moisterizing every 2 to 3 days. Like a 50/50 mix or a 75 rose water/25 vit e mixture. Than for the times when you really need to moisterize the scalp (say winter or swimming), go in with castor oil. So that might be something to consider. God bless you and your beautiful hair!
Btw your hair is beautiful! I've had my microlocs installed 3 weeks ago on texlaxed hair. I didn't blow dry before installation and so had a lot of my curl pattern and thickness. I'm trusting the process and you are inspiring - thanks so much 🔥
I don't think there is a question as to whether relaxed hair can loc. The relaxed portion will take on a different shape in diameter like heat damaged hair when it locs.
Phyllis Johnson who is the videolocktician has a process called "dry conditioning." She developed it for her clients who have Sisterlocks. Her videos show how to lightly condition Sisterlocks or Microlocks and her products are great.
Also, I feel like, all hair can lock. If you aren't combing your hair EVENTUALLY it'll lock up. Kinkier/coilier hair does it faster because of its texture but everybody will get there.
What about using just a super light leave-in? Even just diluting a leave-in I think would be fine. I use diluted Alikay Naturals and I haven't ha any issues to my knowledge but once a year I do an EPIC clean with Dawn soap so...
Before Vitamin E, she suggested 60/40 rose water glycerine. Which is what I’ve been using for years. I love it and never feel like i miss conditioner. Not sure how this would work on your relaxed ends tho 🤔
@@Eden519 I've been following yannie recently and have seen her recommend the rose water and vitamin e many times. So you are saying she has previously recommended 60 percent rose water and 40 percent glycerin in the past? Did she give a reason for why she stopped using that and went to vitamin e?
When my hair locks completely I will start using conditioner as needed. I did with my first set and I didn't have build up. I used V05, it's more of a watery consistency and I made sure to rinse thoroughly.
Latrina Lenae I am considering this as well. My Sisterlocks feel and look great right now, at eleven months and I have never used oils or conditioners.
You always had a LOT of hair 😎🙌🏾🙌🏾 but I’m tryin so hard to remember what your previous TH-cam name was 😩😂 bc I know you had your first set then went back o the relax phase now you’re back in the game 😎
I spray aloe vera juice for moisture and seal with a very light oil i donot use conditioners to be honest... Or coconut oil depends on what works for you.... You don't have yo use conditioners
Have you thought of aloe Vera juice and hot oil treatment? I do a pre poo with aloe juice. Shampoo like your normal. Or hot oil treatment then wash like normal.

@@Bindi_Marc can u do mine? Seriously
@@km-lw2uc sure. follow the link in the description box.
I don't understand why professionals think relaxed hair can't loc. If Caucasian hair can loc, then so can relaxed.
Your locs are just beautiful. This is how I originally wanted my hair to look but I didn’t think it was possible. I love my locs now but seeing your hair still makes me very happy. I’m curious if others would also have locs pretty similar to this!
Your hair looks so luscious and beautiful! And your camera quality is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thank you :) Lighting is everything.

Yeah, Im going to do some real thinking about that when its appropriate for me to even try. He has had very good results with his clients.
The cross-section of those cut locs 😱😱😱
i know right!
I appreciated the closeups and your thoughts of how your hair is progressing & the considerations of different ways to grow locs. I always enjoy your videos!
I love the way your hair is coming along. Still excited to see how the relaxed ends are going to end up turning out.
I love how the curls look on microlocs. They are sooo tiny though I think I’d give up with so many locs to maintain 😩
Its definitely a commitment, for sure.
Bindi Marc I think if I ever start over I’ll do smaller interlocs. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us
YOUR HAIR IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
I think conditioner and hot oil treatments have been great in maintaining moisture on my locs. They matured very quickly, my loctician cannot believe that I am only 11 months in, because they look so mature and are very healthy, and I have been using conditioner from day one.
Relaxed hair can definitely lock. I did my mom's hair and the majority of her hair was relaxed. It's locking faster than mine lmao
Cynthia O can you send me a picture I’m on the fence about locking my hair
@@arp2hot4youdid you lock your relaxed hair

Did your relaxed hair loc?
Thinking of doing mine
I don't think there is a question as to whether relaxed hair can loc. The relaxed portion will take on a different shape in diameter like heat damaged hair when it locs.
Kelly A ya your totally right I agree
Your locs look great
Your hair is gorgeous!

Looks sooooo gooooood OMG. The shine is beautiful. Hopefully the dryness goes away. Nexus is a great line for moisture retention.

Rose water with a little vitamin E oil.
Yep! I have heard Yannie suggest this blend before. Have you tried it? How has it worked with your locs?
Before Vitamin E, she suggested 60/40 rose water glycerine. Which is what I’ve been using for years. I love it and never feel like i miss conditioner. Not sure how this would work on your relaxed ends tho 🤔

I think hot oil treatments will help with the dryness. Also your curl ends look great 👏🏾
Your locs are beautiful
When my hair locks completely I will start using conditioner as needed. I did with my first set and I didn't have build up. I used V05, it's more of a watery consistency and I made sure to rinse thoroughly.
Im beginning to think there may be smthg to the use of conditioner with locs, indeed.
Latrina Lenae I am considering this as well. My Sisterlocks feel and look great right now, at eleven months and I have never used oils or conditioners.
awesome content
How do you maintain the curls at the end of your locs? Your hair is beautiful
Light oils work perfect as conditioners. Oils very very rarely cause buildup.
I think you are right. I wonder, though, if oil coated locs tend to attract more lint with the slippery surface?
Bindi Marc could be true but with locs everything needs to be done in moderation. That’s key.
For conditioning: Lightly oil (using light weight oils) your scalp and use rose water on the length of your locs.
You always had a LOT of hair 😎🙌🏾🙌🏾 but I’m tryin so hard to remember what your previous TH-cam name was 😩😂 bc I know you had your first set then went back o the relax phase now you’re back in the game 😎
Hey, there! if youre trying to figure out my old name so you can watch my old videos, they're all still available on this very same channel. 👍🏾
I spray aloe vera juice for moisture and seal with a very light oil i donot use conditioners to be honest...
Or coconut oil depends on what works for you....
You don't have yo use conditioners
You can use rosewater and put vitamin E in the it for moisture.
Can you show us how your hair looks when you wash it and it's wet?
I filmed a whole wash video but didnt like the footage. I may try again on my next wash day.
Rose water and oil(almond or jamaican black castor).. Not locd yet but that seems to work well on my mini twists that I've had for few months now
Have you thought of aloe Vera juice and hot oil treatment? I do a pre poo with aloe juice. Shampoo like your normal. Or hot oil treatment then wash like normal.
💖💖they look pretty💖💖
thank you! :)
Your hair is relaxed, won't your new growth feel and look differently. Do you plan to re-touch your roots?
She has been Interlocking her roots. She has a separate video on how she does it.
Hey, how often do you retighten? :)
About every 6 weeks. Im hoping to eventually have a longer interlocking cycle, though.
I have relaxed ends can I start microlocs and interlock the whole length of my hair instead of leaving the ends out?
Yes
What city R you located
check out my description box :)
You have the most beautiful hair I have ever seen!! Please don't cut this set (I've been watching your videos for years).
