    I love how educated she is with locs. However I only use water on my locs not all that extra. I’ve used water from the day one. And our texture is similar. I started my locs with two strand twist and it’s been 9 months

    Thank you so much for this video. I am 10 months into my sl journey and I needed that confirmation on the itchy scalp and especially the frizz. I'm having the hardest time getting used to the frizz, but now that I know it really is normal, maybe I can calm down. Lol.

    Very informative video! I am 6 weeks into my micro loc journey, and I’m loving it! Did she say that you shouldn’t moisturize your starter locs??? I oil my scalp 3 times weekly, and I use distilled water, aloe Vera juice and rose water in my spray bottle. Is that something I should stop??

    •  2 года назад +4

      Great question! Now, I see a lot of RUclipsrs moisture their locs regularly. What she has suggested for me is to wait until they are fully mature because moisturizers slow down that process. I wash and moisturize my hair once a week. My locs don’t feel dry at all. I am also maintaining the integrity of the loc. I honestly don’t think there is one way to treat starter locs so if you haven’t seen any unraveling or bunching then your method might also be fine ❤️

    • @RootedInspirationsByVee
      @RootedInspirationsByVee 2 года назад +2

      @ thank you for your response. I haven’t washed my hair myself yet, but after my last retie my loctician stated that I could braid and band my locs and wash as needed!! Thanks for the great advice! Your locs are gorgeous!! 🤎🌻

    Hey! Thank you for this!
    I wanted to ask, what point rotation is she using and why? Is it bad to do a 2-point rotation over a 4-point rotation?

    •  5 месяцев назад +1

      You are so welcome! I get the 2 point rotation! There is no “bad” rotation just how you want your locs to look ❤️ you can always change it

    • @dammyoduko4131
      @dammyoduko4131 5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you! I just installed my starter locs and I have been thinking about whether I want to start interlocking myself but I was told that if we do not do a 4-point rotation, the locs would not be fully formed. I personally do not want to attempt doing 4-point rotation on my head but I was scared to start interlocking if it could give a different result.
      What rotation does your loctician do for your hair? And if she has reasons behind this, I would love to hear them! @

    •  5 месяцев назад +2

      So she does a 2 point rotation. To me, it makes the locs look thicker. Check out different videos from others and see which one you like best

      @ well, I really want to start my locs with braids. I don't want to twist or coil my hair so that I wouldn't have to deal with unravelling or bunching. My hair won't handle interlocking from scratch either. Do you think with braidlocs, my hair will thicken up eventually?

    •  Год назад +1

      @@marrieabba3607 so I started mine with two strand twists so I can’t really say how braidlocs would turn out. I heard they take forever to mature. I would say watch some videos from RUclipsrs who did them to get a better idea of what to expect.

    Thanks for this video! She didn't answer the 2nd part to the question about how often to wash the locs...

    •  2 года назад +2

      So from my experience, when I first started, I waited 5 weeks before I washed my locs. Although I was cleansing my scalp (with witch hazel at the time), I waited to wash until my follow up appointment post-established locs. Now, I wash my locs once a week but on average, people do every two weeks depending on their hair and scalp needs!
