    Locs thinning is so real. I have had locs for 13+ years, all palm-rolled. Going to free-form now. No more palm rolling.

    I’m two months in and I don’t palm roll. I just twist the root and put a clip on it to hold in place and keep it moving😂😂

    Same here! Because my hair is a soft and curly texture, and it takes longer to loc, i prefer for it to interlocked. My 1st journey lasted for 5 years and my hair texture was thicker and they were palm rolled. And while i loved them, with m.j y current set, I wanted them to appear fuller because of my soft texture so my loctician made my locs smaller and I get them interlocked but not too often.

    Great video. I’m still new in my journey, so I’ve been palm rolling to “train” my locs. However, everything you said resonated with me. I actual love my frizz because it gives me added fullness. Maybe it time to try just retwisting the new growth for a while.🙂 I’m looking forward to your new page and the recipes. ❤️❤️❤️

    @chelledavis8304 4 года назад +45

    That isn’t bs but it’s not the truth either.. lol I am a licensed professional in natural hair and I am advanced in both techniques palm roll and interlocking . In reference to Build up, comes from the product used to maintain, dust, lint, sweat, common fabrics from clothing. You can be interlocked and your still going to have the same experience 2. Palm rolling doesn’t necessarily thin your locs but it definitely can if you don’t use tension control. When people over twist locs that is what causes thinning. But your locs are beautiful and if what your doing got them that way then I won’t knock it!

    I agree with everything you said and so many people ask me how me and my sons locs are so thick. I don’t palm roll the shaft! I just started two stran twisting my hair and I can see how it will thin my locs out if I do that style often

    • @iammorganalexis

    I 100% agree with everything you said. I'm only 8 weeks into my journey and someone I know who has locs and has been locd for many years told me today that my hair isn't locd yet so the thinning issue shouldn't even be an issue of mine yet. I kind of want to share this video with her but i think that would only give her power and I REFUSE to do that. But the point you made about it being easier to retwist without palm rolling and the fact that its quicker might be my number 1 reason. I like how my hair looks right now even though it isn't the neatest. New subbie here. I want to watch your other videos.

    I've had locs for 20 years, palm rolled from day one, I hate the frizzy look... at least when they're freshly done. The frizz comes eventually, but I don't like paying & then leaving with frizz, I need it to be tight for at least a week.
    Also, I get my locs platted and the less frizz makes the braids last longer

    If you get your locs palm rolled one time does it effect your entire journey? I’m 2 months in and this was my 2 retwist, I started off my locs with a comb n got my first retwist with it also but my 2 retwist palm rolled. I just want to know will my hair continue to thickin n frizz up🥺

    • @iammorganalexis
      @iammorganalexis  3 года назад +1

      Oh absolutely it’s the Habitual palm rolling that may be something you would worry about but maybe once or twice with palm rolling would have no effect on your hair thickening up!

    Enjoyed your video. Yes, no more palm rolling. I am grieving the consequences now and recommitting to my own intimate loc care. That’s how I started and it was all good. Then i ventured out to styled locs and yes it was still growing and i thought i’d do palm rolls…. Full stop. Thinning and breakage has my full attention. Repaired. Refocus. Re-twist myself -again. 😩😄(Looking forward to checking out your vegan channel!)
