I'm glad I watched this video before installing my locs. Very informative & I like how you express realistic expectations no matter your hair type!
this was so useful! thank you what a thorough and educated video. I did my first starter locs yesterday and after intense research I did a hot oil treatment, deep condition and then starter locs using only rose water oil and minimal gel so I feel reassured!
*Edge control is for EDGES!! Hence the title* 😵😵😵😓😓😓
Yes. I had a bih put edge control all throughout my locs. It looked good for about a week until it started itching and flaking👊🏽🤦🏽♀️
Thank you for this great information! I just started my locs a week ago!!
Thanks for the video. Very informative as usual. You are just awesome!
I think its amazing how much you educate people. Although I don't have locs, I always appreciate the information you give. Thanks for sharing!
Jasmine Smith agreed!! He's super informative in his content, which is why I've watched for the last almost 4 years
Jazmine Thomas haha hey both of your names are Jasmine (spelled differently of course) 😁 thank you both!
Jazmine Thomas Yass 👏👏👏
AfrikanHairGod you're welcome 😊.
Jasmine Smith ayeeeeee
I love hearing you speak. Love when you are educational also. Thanks for all your hard work Narada!
I don't have locs but I loved your delivery of the information. This was very easy to understand. Great vid!!!👏👏👏👏
Ms Beautifull thank you sometimes I feel I can be overly redundant and I struggle with public speaking. But I'm constantly working on speaking more eloquently.
AfrikanHairGod you nailed it in this video.👍👍👍
A very honest and informative young man.thank you!👍
Listening to you talk shows how professional and expert you are with locks.I learnt a lot.Thanks for sharing
I appreciate your humility 😊
Blessings 🙏🏾
I'm learning to start and retwist locs as a side hustle 😎 Thanks for the info
Thank you for this video. I want to maintain my locs alot better this year and this is great bit of info to start with.
Your hair is looking good. TFS
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us, I truly appreciate it. I always look forward to your videos.
This guy is practical and makes alot of sense
This was EXTREMELY helpful! Thanks for posting!
I am a stylist and I agree with you 100 percent I found that out myself!
I'm so glad you posted this because I was about to use style n jam for my next retwist because I'm all out of aloe vera gel. You saved me and my starter locs!! lol #3months
Hey 🤗 I havent come across you since I saw you in Toni's video!!! I have watched her videos since 2009 and the time you cut her hair was a big turning point in her journey in my opinion. Its been flourishing ever since 🖤 #locnation
Love the video even though I don't have locs. 100% rely on Narada for an informative video
Great informative video I’ve stopped using product to retwist and recently stopped using wash out conditioners in my Locs. I used to use that exact one by Cantu. Not anymore. 🙅🏾♀️🚫
You Kept My Natural Loose Hair Flourishing And I Love This Video 💚
I absolutely love your channel!... Thanks for the wealth of tips and info!... Very helpful, Blessings to you and your friends and family!
Great video! People definitely need to understand what products works for them and create a healthy regimen. I wash, deep condition, hot oil treatment with a retwist every 2 weeks. All the products I use are specifically made for natural hair care like Loc Nation and Black Earth by Taliah Waajid. My hair is healthy and currently past waist length 😉!
Very informative... My 11 year old wants locs so we've been growing his hair out. For part of his Christmas gifts I was bringing him to a salon that specializes in locs. This helped alot because I totally thought using gel was fine.. Thank you

I just start my loc journey and have watched sooooo many videos and I have just decided to use water and oil at all times but at moderation to control itching and buildup. Thanks a bunch for this video🤗
Tisch add a little tea tree oil
Thank you so much for your knowledge! Excellent advice!
Very informative... Wished I lived in Atlanta, because I would trust you to start and maintain my locs.
Your locs look FRESH so im glad u have experience DOING them
conditioner😂😂😂
they won't listen. conditioner is made to keep hair from locking.👂
I DON'T use conditioner on my clients either....
That's what oils are for
chicken little Oils like coconut oil and olive oil condition your hair without as much detangling as store-bought conditioner
Lol.. you are a lazy if you need gel. I do not want flakes in my hair.
But my hair is dry as heck without it. My hair was used to weekly deep conditioning and thick butters. I can’t use any of that anymore
Omgoodness! Preach honey! You are amazing. I've had to fight to get rinse out conditioner out of my locs!😥
Very informative video. I love how science backed it is. You never have to apologize for lengthy videos, I enjoy them very much!
Braelynn Blue thank you! 😘
Your work looks nice. I just started my second set of locs.
Awesome video! Super informative and thorough with great explanations! Keep up the awesome content!
Love how articulate you are. So informative.
tj Tanner thank you!
Random , but i just kept staring at your beard . It looks so soft .. like a black cloud ☁️☁️☁️
Keep the tips coming! I love your videos
And... Your hair is luscious!❤❤❤❤
Helping out my brother with his locs. This is very insightful and straight to the point, thank you❤️
Exactly! Eco styling gel is a dry product to the hair.
Fuck and my locker just gave me one.................................
Newbie here and love this type of information!!! I was a loose natural for almost 10years and I am so lost on the dos and donts of the loc journey
I'm 11 years into my loc journey and I must say you telling the truth. Especially about conditioners and oh my God edge control is awful. When you go to a hair stylist you must tell them what not to put on your hair.
Thanks for such an informative video! I really appreciated how you explained your recommendations with details and discussions of nuances to make it clear why these aren't all "cut & dry/black & white" rules.
I'm very intrigued by your comment about beeswax. I've never heard nothing but bad things about it, but well-established locticians still use it from time to time. Could you elaborate on what it *is* good for, and the kinds of situations where you, as a professional, might use it?
Hi Cutie pie. I pray all is well. I learned a lot from your tutorials. I'm 1 year and 3 months in. I started my own locs with pinch braids. My hair was about 1 inch in length and thin. Its now laying on my shoulders. No two locs are the same. Some are round, some flat, some have like a branch and they are all thick. So far so good. Thanks! again for the useful information. Now I know what not to use. I've been using Biotin scalp oil. And my hair has been growing so fast and long. I need a new growth retwist. I have to figure out what to use. Thank! Stay safe and well... 🤗
A little over 2 months into my journey. This video is very informative and encouraging. Subscribed instantly (and I never do that). Thank you🙏
I really loved this video and it helped out a lot. I still have a few questions as to what products are good to use for cleaning hair in between the locking process?
I used most of the products that you spoke about when I had locks and I can definitely agree that I had terrible buildup as a result. My locks ended up being super heavy and I think that was because of the build up. And regardless of how many apple cider vinegar cleanses I did I could not get it out. When I cut my locks off you could just see years of lint and waxy buildup in them! I think if I had been more knowledgeable I would’ve never used Murray’s beeswax in my hair.
Omg love you and this video!!! Rewatched this because I started my locs last year so thank you so much!! 😙😙
I've been loc'd for 6mths and always referring to this vid...thank you😍
Beautiful work, these pictures in the beginning are fabulous 😍
sunsetnwaves thank you!
I have been doing Locs for 10 yrs and I agree with everything you said I use oils and water. Great video
what type of oil do you use?
Hello this is my first time watching your video and you seem so articulate and I feel I can trust you. I NEED HELP SO BAD. I’m about 6 months in and I’m getting frustrated. I can do a retwist and the next day it look like I did it weeks prior. My hair absorbs EVERYTHING and is extremely dry. I’m at my whits end, but do not want to give up. So any advice on what I can use and how often would be greatly appreciated😀
I've watched and recieved lots of great info from your channel. Was so surprised I hadn't already subscribed....so sorry. Now subscribed!
Thanks so much I appreciate this needed information
Love your honesty
Awesome video! Thanks for doing this!
Great post! Very informative and helpful!
You look so adorable with your locks I love them🥰👏👏👏🙏
You're hair looks great!
Thank you for your knowledge really appreciated
Thank you for this worth of knowledge.
very nice I learned so much!!!! thanks for your video!
Thank you so much for your video, very helpful. What kind of oil would you recommend to use for retwisting? I just restarted my locs a few months ago and will have to start twisting them myself and I’ve been researching how to do it. I came across a few vids recommending flax seed gel as well. What are your thoughts ?
Yes! Water and oil is all that is needed for retwist! Wish I was in ATL because I can't find anyone who just uses water and oil.
I love Cantu makes the hair smell good
Great video love. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this video
I love your hair!
I don't have locs. But I started locs on my nephew, and I'm lost on what to use to retwist his hair. But your video was very helpful. Love how you talk and explained everything. TFS 💜
Krissy GourjussTv I just use water and oil or hair grease and never have any issues.
AfrikanHairGod thanks and will try it tomorrow on his head. 💜
Love love love this video it’s so educational always willing to soak in new information to help my locs
I have been plotting on you starting my locks. Yep, driving from Clemson to Atlanta so you can do my hair lol
Join the locks tribe Deb!!!
@@lilyjoseph3316 morning to t
Thanks for this video i was using edge control and jam to retwist because of flaking with gels but i think i will try to use oil an water to stop build up from happening
Chyna Me give it a couple months you may might be pleasantly surprised at how well it works
VERY INFORMATIVE. Thank you.
I've had locs for 18 months and this was one of the most informative videos I've watched on locs in a longgggggg time. I need more videos like this what oils to use on locs,shampoo, clips or no clips when twisting,combine or cut thin locs??? TFS
Great informative video!! Subscribed🤩
Thank you for the good advice.
Learning, Look Like You Got The Retwist Game Down Pack!!!
This all makes sense! More loc vids!!! U just might convince me 2 dread mine up😉👍
Your hair looks great.
Great info. :)
I Agree.....
JUST started the journey a few weeks ago and I'm willing to learn as its very new to ke and I'm experimenting a little to see what may and may not work for me. I've heard multiple things on both sides in regards to gel and I know for me I want mine to be healthy as possible as I can make it. I tried Jamaican Mango and Lime gel and it seems to have worked well enough but I'm also nervous that it could present problems in the future since it's all new to me.
Just pay attention to how you hair is responding to what you do and use in it. I urge you to watch my loc Q&A videos as well as watch me Retwist using hair grease
👏👏👏👏👏 *Thank you Narada* 💗💗💗💗💗
Clicked so fast because my mom is always retwisting hers with any product she can find!
Nik Fab the truth of it all is that these products people use don't really make your retwist last longer. Natural hair has a natural memory to it when you set damp hair and allow it to set and dry. All of those products just coat the strands which usually leads to gunk, flakes, buildup and stiff locs. I always recommend that everyone experiment with retwisting with just water and oil. After doing this for about 3 or 4 months, you will be able to determine whether you truly need something more to help with retwisting your hair but in most cases oil is really all you need to properly maintain locs.
Some people's hair can take it some cant
Ll
So I have a few questions, I've been doing my bfs locks for about 3 years.
1. Is palm rolling better for doing retwist or is comb twisting?
2. Are product that contain alcohol or patrolium bad?
3. We have died his locks in the past and we are wanting a shine too it. Should we use oils?
Great Tips and very informative 💕💕💕
I love your advice!! Less is best. Anyone who says otherwise, I'd have to disagree!! New sub!
1st of all, your hair is beautiful- shout out to the stylist. I stood and clapped when you spoke of gels. My hair starts to act up in two days when I use gel. Good video for the loc wearers, I love the work you showed in the video.
imgrownforreal thank you I did my hair myself!
Within two days exact i had a huge snowfall on brown flakes mannnnn
What do use then??
So gels are not good?
Mr Lee You don’t want a gel that is full of alcohol. It will flake your hair and it makes your hair so dry. You can train your hair to use oil and water just for the retwist.
Gel! I learned my lesson. I will not be going back to the “loctician” who did my hair. It literally looked like snow was coming down my face. And my scalp was so dry, no matter what oil I used I still had the issue. I will be washing and retwisting my own next go round. Very informative video.
Yeah, I don't blame you I started locs my son's hair and mine as well I also maintain ours too, I can't mess with these so-called locticians. I've seen people get their locs done and it looks like a whole matted ass burr-patch on top of their heads.
Shana Medley right! And now that I won’t be stressing about it being super neat or having the parts perfect. I plan to just do it myself. Any products that you recommend?
@@Curlycraftycontent Right On Sista!
This is old but I found the oil was just making my scalp even drier . When I stopped using oil my scalp got better .
@@laurenlocd3180what was the name of the oil?
one more thing to add I try aloe vera plant it had my hair dry I also try flax seed putting it to soak then use the gel from it. was the worst my hair hold good but after two days it start to flake an look nasty very nasty
Am about to start my locks ...thank you
Great video!! So informative!! 👍
I re-started mine yesterday with got 2 be glue because it was all i had around the house strong enough to keep my hair from unraveling...smh. But i won’t re-use it for my retwist in the future. ONE AND DONE! Thanks for all the info🤗
astoldby lana I just purchased this product because my hair unravels the same day I do them. So I was trying to find a product to tame my hair. What did this product do to your hair that I shouldn’t use it
Crystal Thomas it is heavy and causes build up. It’s almost impossible to wash out because it’s water proof. At least the one i used.
Great video, thanks... may I ask how you feel about ACV rinse for locs?
Great info, thanks!
Not trying to discredit you King but the picture with the red starter locs, the clips on the roots are a no no. It can cause breakage. Use a little tension with lower clip placement coming from a 10 year licensed loctician. Peace and love brother good review
How exactly do temporarily placing clips cause breakage? Unless I'm literally ripping thru hair sliding clips in there's no breakage occurring during that process. No disrespect but it doesn't take 10 years experience to know that. Also,She wasn't getting a retwist. She was getting starter locs in a resistant texture that required clips to give more distinction and hold at the roots while her hair set in coils.
@@AfrikanHairGod you can still get the same result that you need placing the clips in a brick lay, retwist or no retwist. I have noticed from different people when they clip at the root, in time the loc grows thin. It didn't take me 10 years to know that sir. So if it works for you, keep at it but I'm not coming at your neck I'm only giving advice... Didn't think it was harm in that...
@@deeb.7064 There's multiple ways to skin a cat and different ways to retwist locs. This works for me and whatever you do works for you. Thank you for the advice, but just know if you intend on going out of your way to correct someone, and they in turn correct you in the same way, don't get so defensive about it. I'm not bothered that you tried to offer me advice, your statement just isn't true. Proper technique is everything. Clips don't cause breakage, tension and improper technique do.
That placement is... unlike any I've ever seen before. Lol
If a dryer is used with that clip placement those metal clips are flat ironing the root, or like a press, I have experienced this personally
Very informative I don't have locks but this is still good to know.
My husband and I both have locs and he dry scalp and I mean bad dry scalp. We both flake bad in the locs. I’m trying to switch to butters. I bought Alikay loc butter. So I hope that helps
Can you please update us on your sister's hair?
Your facial hair looks good, what do you feed it?
Have you heard of the Doctor Locs line? Their leave in conditioner and locking spray is AMAZING. Everything they use is water-based. I've been using their products on my hair for years and my hair is so healthy, moisturized and does NOT have any product buildup.
