Yes, I say this all the time!! 4c hair is beautiful and when we start to feel start to feel the strain of detangling & styling, locs are the perfect option. Loved this video 🥰
I guess im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the login password. I love any help you can give me!
Listen! Detangling was the bane of my existence 😩I dreaded wash days. I was a loose natural from 2014-2020. I got my sister locks in April. My life changed forever! I was freeeeee! My afro was huge but it stopped growing. I remember telling people that I loved my afro too much to lock it. I should have known better. This is the best hair decision I've ever made!
I’m getting my mircolocs installed in 11 days and I’m so excited and scared. I’m done with the protective styles every 10 weeks. I want my 4C hair to be free and I’m excited to get reacquainted with my natural hair, thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience 🥰. So happy to start this journey.
I looooved wash day as a 4c. Love me hair. But I had always wanted locs. The day when twisting my hair into lookalike locs started to take too long, I said, screw it, I'm locking it. And I havent looked back since. 6yrs locd. Im so minimalist. I use natural products. An oil, shampoo conditioner and a massager, tea rinses and coconut milk... Thats it. My hair is thriving. I maintain my own hair. Costs me nearly nothing.
My permed hair plateaued at the same length as well. I've been natural for 11 years and I'm just so over it. I've decided to microloc it in the next two months. I just want hair freedom.
Mannn look! Locing up my 4C 3 months ago was the best thing I could have done 😭 The detangling literally made me want to cry when I had it in a natural puff. But since I’ve been loced I’m noticing growth, easier for me to put in styles (although I usually have my scarf on to protect my hair ) and it’s all around easier to manage. My first retwist took forever (literally days LOL) since Ive started and retwisted myself but my second retwist was much shorter and I’m sure I’ll get faster as I go 🥳
Lo🖤e this so much. I always love your videos, but normally watch on my TV instead of through my phone, so this is my first time commenting. I’m 15 months into to my 4B/4C hair loc journey and loving every minute. I wish I would’ve done it like 10 years ago, but things happen as they should. My Sisterlocks™︎ were a natural progression, so I really am grateful foe every step of my hair journey. They all brought me to the place I am now. I know it’s cliché, but in clichés lie the truth, it’s absolutely the greatest hair decision ever in life!!! Thanks for your channel and all that you share. 🙌🏾
Thank you so much for watching ! I am so glad you like the videos =) I really appreciate you taking time out of your day to leave me some feedback! I do not take that act lightly at all =) Many Blessings, Nia
Loc’d my 4c hair 2 months ago and it’s the best decision I could have ever made for my hair! I know all of the comments are like 3 years old but it feels good to have found my people 😂❤
I agree! I went natural at beginning of pandemic. Crochet locs until fall of 2021. Loose natural was too much work for ME. I learned and loved my texture. My afro puff was the bomb! But, I was over it!
Wash day for my baby with 4c hair is wash weekend. I take out the old style and finger detangle on Friday night. Saturday is wash, deep conditioning and detangling. Then air dry in plaits, then style on Sunday.
Used to be like this for me and then my daughter really started to protest and ask for sisterlocks so I got them for her. Best decision ever - now we have much more time and she’s happy, loves her locs.
Yes, I have 4C and it was a pain. I love my sisterlocks. I just don't like the braid and banding. But as my hair is maturing and growing I am sure it will get better.
I love my Sisterlocks!! I got my install October 30-31. It took 27 hrs between two days.. I had traditional locks 2000-2007. I was tired of protective styling and menopausal sweating my blow dry hair styles...
@@Niaimani92 my first journey was great except I let someone start my locks and she put honey in them! Her hair was really fine so I guess she thought all locks required honey to start them... fast forward.... I started to see lent and these small white dots on the ends and I thought it was conditioner that I might of not washed out.... well, my Jamaican male friend told me that they were nits!! I freaked out and eventually took my hair down... it was January of 2007... at that time I was working for afterschool matters here in Chicago and the program didn’t start until late January. So I took down my locks... I had no fingerprints after that.... I remained natural!
Amen Sister!! I have diy micro braids installed about 4 months ago and I can't believe the freedom! No detangling, 30 minute washdays (including braiding and banding), hair style ready to go in 5 minutes (my husband is shocked!). There's no going back for me. If for some reason I have to remove these braids before they lock I will be reinstalling as soon as possible on short hair.
@@Niaimani92 Girl you said it. Whole Saturday gone just on hair, can't leave the house 'cause I don't want to spoil my twist out only to find on the next day it's still not dry and in any case the umpteenth product that I tried stiffened my hair rather than soften it lol. Oh Lord!!!
I have 7w old baby work 2two jobs have maintain a house and school needless say I don’t have time it’s been heavy on my mind since I saw this girl had em on Instagram I thought about locs in the past but never this type locs after watching this video I’m sold I’m about go book a appt.😩 haven’t had time comb me hair anyway 😂🤷🏽♀️
Omg I can so relate to this video. I did the nia long look b4 I started my second set of micro locs. And let me tell you that style is difficult to maintain if you have 4c course thickish hair! I have a big face as well so I've extended my 3 inch locs to frame my face well. TFS! 💕
@@Niaimani92 yeah you made a good choice. I braided marley hair on the ends, it looks like I have micro braids. I'm waiting till it grows out a bit so I can cut off my relaxed ends.
I love my 4c hair and my afro but I'm fr getting sick and tired of it. Wash days are forever. So recently I started getting extensions like passion twists and faux locs, etc. But I don't wanna regret getting locs and be missing my afro. And so many people love my hair and have been pressing me not to get locs.
I’ve spent waaay to much on weave and braids sometimes it ends up as a failed style and had to throw it away !!! Like why ? Sigh but I’m happy late and glinting the team
I love this video so much!! I love all your videos, you cover the most real life topics with locs - such an inspiration and great person to follow for anyone considering locs and having them! I don’t have 4C hair but I can relate to all of this! I missed out on things because of my hair - never now that I have sisterlocks. We’re ever ready with sisterlocks 🙌🏿 Thank you for this great video 👌🏿
Pretty girl what curling mousse can I use on my 4c micro locs also what curlers did you use ? You look so perty and classy my curls don’t hold for long 😩help 😂😂
Thank you so much! I will attach the link to the video, where I show how I did this look below =) I used Alikay Naturals, lemon grass mousse, and flexi rods. ruclips.net/video/xETMDGQQTD8/видео.html
Mine were scalpy in the beginning. I think most peoples are when they are baby locs unless you have EXTREMELY dense hair. My hair is pretty thick, but my baby locs were still scalpy.
Preach! Braiding and banding still has NOTHING on my loose natural wash days. I would be over here begging Alexa, Google, the Holy Spirit to wash my hair. That was not for me. 😂 Loose ends question though! I was wondering if you noticed your loose ends changing a lot as you washed your hair more back when you had baby locs? At first all of my ends (literally no exceptions) were frizzy/puffy but over the past almost 3 months, I've noticed that an increasing number have developed more defined, coiled ends with each wash while others have continued to do their own thing. Just curious if you remember how your hair evolved back in the day! I swear I'll write a short comment one day, haha.
LOLOLOLOL I was the same way! That 4c hair was a full time job! That same thing occurred with the ends of my hair. It almost looked like 4a or 4b on the ends after washing it. Keep the long comments coming lol =) I don't mind at all.
@@Niaimani92 right?? I'm like where was this effortless coil action when you were loose, hair?! But it's probably more that our type hair locs well and is finally happy to be left alone or something, I don't know. 🤣
Hi =) Here is the tutorial: ruclips.net/video/xETMDGQQTD8/видео.html . The only thing I did differently was switch my part from a middle part to a side part.
I told my husband just a couple hours ago that I’m going to cut it all off because I’m just tired. I’ve been watching DIY micro loc videos all day. I’m just about done with the while hair thing.
@@Niaimani92 Thank you for the motivation. I had locs some years back for nearly 8 years but I combed them out because I want to try smaller Locs. I’ve started and stopped 3 times but my hair texture has changed over the years and the back seems to be like a 4a, b now. Not only the back but my sides as well. I’m having a heck of a time trying to stop them from unraveling. They just aren’t coming out right so I just feel defeated. I will give it another go and see what happens. Thanks again.
I’m watching so many beginner 4c sister love videos to do my research . But do your locs get thicker from initial stage ? Also is there a type of loc in Btwn sister and regular lol?
@@TheZophisticatedDove Did u start with twists? Do u interlock or palm roll? I’m considering this route, smaller than most traditional locs but not as small as most sister locs
Can you use the RevAir to dry your loc's and stretch them out? I can't go with out the freedom the RevAir gives my currently loose natural hair. I'm planning on adding DIY waist length Microloc's to list of been there done that. My hair grows fast and microloc's seem carefree.
I had that Black Girl Magic over the Thanksgiving weekend and fell in love with it. You need to try that 19 Crimes Snoop Dog Cali Red!!! I think you will really like it, nice blend of dry and sweet. My colorist is not my SisterLock Consultant. I got my color touched up yesterday. After she colored and washed my locks, I took out my oils and leave in spray and was done in 5 minutes. She said, “Is that all you do?” Yes ma’am! When I tell you when easy maintenance and beautiful locks come to together!? Whew!! I cant be mad that my momma didnt lock me up at 5 yrs old, she didn’t know any better 😆 These locks are a 4b/4c gal’s dream 😝
I do have to try it! That sounds like my perfect red wine. I have seen the bottle before in the store but never picked it up. Thanks for the recommendation !
I have very kinky, very high shrinkage 4a/b hair and I want locs for all the same reasons. I literally at one point was keeping a calendar so I could plan events around when my hair would be out in a flattering style and not in a protective style. And felt like I was hiding the rest of the time. I want to wake up with cute ready to go hair everyday. I am just trying to decide the best size/method. I don’t think I want tiny sister locs (like 400+) and I don’t think I want traditional locs either (pencil sized). I’m thinking something in between. I LOVE full hair and look best with full hair so that’s the main factor for me, whatever method will get me the most volume. I have fine/medium strands. Even tho my density is medium and on the low end of thick in some places, I still have to do a lot to get a voluminous look bc of my texture and how my hair shrinks on itself so much.
I would say go to a few locticians, explain to them the look you are going for, and ask for their recommendations. I would also ask to see samples of their work, that prove that they can give you what you are looking for. Good luck on your journey! It sounds like you are taking time to do the necessary research to make sure you can get what you want.
Yes, I say this all the time!! 4c hair is beautiful and when we start to feel start to feel the strain of detangling & styling, locs are the perfect option. Loved this video 🥰

Same! I could not stand detangling at all! Mt 4c hair was a full time job lol!
Same experience. I really wish I locked it sooner😊
Not gonna lie I would just leave a tangled section and just go right into plaiting it I gave up 😂
Girl, those curls are working for YOU!!! That length is showing!!!!
Thank you =) It finally is growing, THANK GOD! I waited so long for these inches lol!
What's the point of having hair? 😂 I've thought that one a few times myself. My sisterlocks installation is set for January!
Congratulations!!! It's right around the corner! Enjoy your baby loc stage =)
@@Niaimani92 thank you! I will!

Not sure what serious red means
It’s a pretty dry red with lots of tannin. It’s not the easiest to drink.
