    Im about 4.5 months locd too....i've been moisturizing my locs with a mixture of rose water, vegetable glycerin and aloe vera juice n then I seal n the moisture with a mix of avacado oil, sweet almond oil n vitamin E oil....it works wonders to combat the dryness. Haven't found anything 4 the frizziness yet tho...i've just been embracing it n wearing head wraps when its super frizzy.....love ur videos n good luck on ur journey girl...

    I'm glad I found your channel....I have the same curly ends...and cut off the fairy knots and my back budded first too!
    Target makes a rose water glycerin mix that's good too....jojoba is good too because it's the same as the sebum that comes from the scalp....
    I am almost concerned the frizz will never calm down...

    i cannot remember if you condition your hair or not but if not please do. you don’t need a lot of conditioner just a enough to soft the hair. a lot of ppl don’t recommend it. but it’s very much needed. just get one that is silicon free. and you may need to try oil rinsing to retain moisture

I'm just actually a month in and she's some months ahead of me however..it is really awesome watching you go through your lock journey and sharing your experiences also glad to know that conditioning it won't actually be a bad idea either thanks for that too because I love conditioner and it's quite a habit..in this video when you mentioned that you and I share the same b'day ok birthday twin you go! I'm here for it twin! Thank you for sharing your updates. I love this tbh I'm so glad I decided to lock my hair because I've never felt so free 💞💞🤸🏾‍♀️

    I’m currently going on 7 months loc’d and I tired homemade rose water in the beginning which seemed to make my hair and scalp so dry. I made some homemade aloe Vera juice with distilled water and added a few drops of oil to it and it has helped my hair majorly. I get normal dandruff when it gets closer to a wash day and my hair is a lot better moisturized since making the switch.

    I’m almost at 9 months and mine look very similar to yours, and have since about four months lol. Your five month loc is my whole head right now and my retwist isn’t even a week old 🤦🏾‍♀️ but yeah, the fairies eventually will seal up, I’ve had/have a bunch of them but all of those locs have now lost their loose, curly ends for the most part

  • @machibieber96
    @machibieber96 3 года назад +1

    Have you ever tried aloe Vera juice in a spray bottle to moisturize your hair? It makes my hair feel so incredibly soft & soothes my scalp if it itches. Spray it in your hair at night & put a bonnet on and when you wake up your hair will feel amazing

Maybe U need a moisturisin shampoo 2. Moisturise yr hair regularly with water and some oil or oils together 3. When U deep condition put some oils into the mixture 4. Use a silk or satin scarf to tie hair loosely to not dry moisture out I hope these suggestions are some help to keep yr hair thrivin if not U'll def work it out with patience an a good helpin of trial an error

    We're basically the same time loc'd. But your hair has grown tho! It's coming along nicely. I think I found my loc twin lol
    P.s, I don't like rose water also. It makes my hair flake so I stopped and I use both castor and olive oil. But, you should try aloe vera juice. It works well with my VERY dry scalp.

    I locked my daughter’s hair in August 2020 and I condition her hair every wash (every 3 weeks) and it has locked with no problems at all and she actually has a softer, looser texture. I think not conditioning locs is a myth...lol. No matter what you do, your hair will loc. Her hair is further in the locing process than most that I see around her timeframe and further. I say condition, condition... her hair is so soft, but yet having no trouble locing...

      Hello 💜 I've "HEARD" after 1 year to add jewelry or dye for that matter. The 1st year should be focused on embrace, care, and (not limited to) shaping. This allows them to form properly to be accessorized. Wishing you wild goodness on your journey.
