Thank you =)

Thank you.

Hey, thanks for engaging with my content. I don't detangle my hair, as tangled hair supports the loc'ing process and helps to form a solid loc matrix . I simply choose to separate one loc from another as part of my process for maintenance, and I take my time with my hair strands. 🌿🌿🧡

​@@oliviadhindsyou're right, sorry. I meant seeing the part you discuss at 16:19. Anyway, great content. Helps motivate me to get to mine! Once I overcome that initial inertia, I enjoy the process. ❤️

Thank you for referencing the timestamp. Hopefully I can be clearer for you... Personally, I choose what I capture (record) for possible content and what I leave out (from recording or final video edits) because caring for my hair and my wellbeing always take first priority over any content I create and share. So sometimes, not recording is the best decision for me or not including that section in the video if I happen to capture some of it whilst working on a group of locs. That way I don't add any additional stress to myself, and especially in real-time during the separating process by way of being conscious of capturing every minutiae detail 🌿 Have you watched Part 1 or any of my other videos where I share/talk about my locs? I have quite a chunk of content already out there between here (RUclips) and Instagram and TikTok. Plus you might find some snippets of me separating my locs before retwisting, ie. ruclips.net/video/85Y98R2v-u4/видео.html&ab_channel=OliviaDHinds I'm sure I've previously shared some content where I can be seen doing some separating of my locs but you'll need to scroll through, as it might not be a staple in every video I post about my maintenance process. Or it might not be the level of separating you want to see, such as the moments that I choose to keep more personal for me. Washing my hair for example is something I decided not to capture and share online but others share that stage of their process where people can enjoy that content 😄 However, what I would suggest here is that you take your time with you and yours... and tease the hair strands apart as gently as you can and always lubricate the strands first to minimise or mitigate breaking/over-snapping. What I do with my hair might not be right for others, and I'm careful not to overshare everything I do/use because some people compare and copy without having the proper understanding of their individual context. My strands may take more pulling than someone else's, so if they pull the way they see me do it, it could cause more damage. Maybe this is an idea for a video for me to talk about... because I know I'm heavy handed and my hair strands are strong 🤣🤣 haha... but it's like a dance, as I know what level of force or manoeuvre is right for me. The foundation of my maintenance sessions is peace, so I make sure I'm not rushing to do other things. I'm very conscious about my internal and external environments on Wash and Retwist days because I'm intentional about being present. Frustration is a no for me when it comes to my self care. I hope that's helpful.

I was a new subscriber. Sorry if my comment suggested that you should do anything other than what you're comfortable with sharing. That wasn't my intent. Thanks for explaining. Take care.

Welcome 😊 It's okay. It's the first time I've had a question/comment like that so I used it as an opportunity to be transparent. We're all good. I hope my content serves you well in the best way it can and you receive all you need from different places 🧡🌿

Thanks.

I appreciate you for engaging with my content and this kind comment. Thank you, have a fabulous 2025 also! 😄🧡🌿

And I meant to say that you should be rightly proud of yourself. Well done.

Thank you 😄🧡🌿

I'm screen-mirroring between my phone camera and computer screen 🤓 I created an eBook for full details of my setup and you can see it more here: ruclips.net/video/lZDedJcx80c/видео.html&ab_channel=OliviaDHinds

Thank you, and no.

Oooo snap with the 4 years too! I'm happy for you and I love this for us 😃🌿🧡

Thank you. I'm pleased you enjoy this content 🌿😃

I love this. Thank you for sharing this with... it is all within you and I'm sure you'll experience greater fulfilment in this next season 🧡☺️🌿😃

Thank you. And I'd say: "It sounds like you have happy hair" which is how I describe mine when it begins to move, unravel and grow 😃🌿

I'm pleased you're doing what's right for you and have a positive relationship with frizz 🌳🤓

Thank you and I hope you enjoyed the festive season too 🧡☺️

Yay! I'm glad you love how your locs look 😄🌳

Thank you =)

Thank you, Cynthia 😃🧡

@oliviadhinds you're welcome!

Thank you 😄🧡

Hey 😃 It's not a mousse. It's a water and oils solutions in a foamer bottle. The product is actually a health supplement for consumption but I decided to use it on my skin and scalp, so I cannot name it explicitly but that's what I can say. More information here: ruclips.net/video/7Cusi1QDhDw/видео.html and if you have further questions I'll do my best to answer them.

You are very welcome and thank you 😄🌿🧡

Thank you. I appreciate your kindness 🥰️🧡🌿🦋

It varies with each cleanse/maintenance session but here's a recent video I posted on my channel: ruclips.net/video/7Cusi1QDhDw/видео.htmlsi=oq2DubN4wT0LfJIx 😃🌿

Thank you 😃🧡 I appreciate your kindness 🌷

You are very welcome 😃🧡

Thank you! My new growth and unravelled roots are a built in hat 😂

Haha! My stomach was growling... it's eating season 😂😂

I'm pleased you're doing what's right for you and sharing your journey and experiences. My hair is indeed soft 🌿🧡

Thank you for sharing. I'm good with what I choose to use and how... and I love my locs as they are 😊🌿

😃🌿🧡

Hey! The gloves you saw were a one-off experience. I care for my hair/locs with my hands, as I need, want and appreciate skin-to-hair contact. Being able to touch my hair directly is always the best option for me 😄

Hey Iris 🧡☺️ Honestly, I've released so much over the past week alone, but my whole year was about listening and relationships and I feel so light and liberated. Thank you for your support, I receive it with an open heart and reciprocate it too. You are so appreciated and loved!

Thank you, Iris 😄 I hope you've been well. This 31 days in December is for all. When you say for the community do you mean a challenge for others to participate in?

Thank you! Welcome to my corner of the world 😊🧡

You are so welcome!

Thank you. And I'm pleased you're doing what's right for you and loving the experience ☺️🌿🧡

Thank you. Much appreciated 🧡🌿

Thank you. Great question! 🤓 I would say this depends on the individual, as the answer could vary from one person to the next. Something that could influence the answer is how someone sees/experiences their locs. For me personally, my locs are more than a hairstyle but rather a lifestyle. They signify and symbolise a "rebirth", a turning point in my life to becoming a better, healthier me. So for me, the journey continues! "My locs were my lifeline, so I'm loc'd for my lifetime" for as long as I continue to produce healthy hair and having locs serves my growth, development and service to others. 🧡🌿

@EANDM71 As a person with locs for 5 years now I feel the journey never ends unless you rid your locs. Personally, I don't think I'll ever cut my hair again. Ig my journey will end when I depart this life.

I hear you. Thank you for sharing 🌿🧡

Thank you. I'm so pleased you enjoyed this piece. I'll be uploading more soon 🤓🧡🌿

Thank you =)

As long as you're doing what's right for you, that's the main thing 😄 In my first year, I retwisted every time I washed my hair.

Awwh thank you so much, Iris 🧡🧡 I appreciate the support and encouragement. Hope you're well. The challenge is really stretching me. Day 63 (today) feels special because I finally circled back to this footage from February. After recording 62 videos on 62 consecutive days, getting this one out seemed so much easier to process 😅😅

Healthy mental dialogue has so many benefits 🧡
