Master barber here . Listen to this man . Please . We will give you a line up because your wants come first . But a good barber will tell you what you need as well .
I honestly think it depends on how often you get your lineup. I get a lineup once a month after I get a retwist and my hairline was never pushed back I had my dreads for 4 years now.
Coming up on a year here in December, I’ve gotten a total of 3 haircuts and 5 retwists. I wash my hair sometimes twice a week and i sleep with my bonnet 80% of the time. My hairline is the exact same and I personally like the nappy look because its more how our ancestors did it. Yall keep having fun and stay safe, God bless
Brother, So many people to NEED hear this !!! 2 years ago I Had a flattop fade, curls turned locs. I ended up up with a tapered hairline as I would go to the barber up to 3 times in a single week. I quickly learned how essential it is to minimize how frequently you go to the 💈 💈💈 Currently I have a full head of hair without any tapered hairline/ high top fade. Thank you Again💙
Haven't had a line up in years and my hair has grown far more healthier because of it I no longer care for that perfect 90° angle because all it ever did was push my hairline back I don't have that perfect hairline but so long as it's full and growing that's good enough for me
I highly recommend y’all listen to him. I started out with a full head of locs in 2012 and with constant retwisting and line ups, I ended up with a pushed back hairline and a high top fade by 2022. It was a tough decision to make but I decided to cut off my locs this June. I’m getting them reattached next month with some extensions to fill my head back up. I learned my lesson and I won’t be making those mistakes again.
@@YungPhilosopher if I was going bald, I would have just said I cut my hair because I was going bald. It wouldn’t look good to reattach locs with a receding hairline
I found the cheat code to this. I cut my front locs into bangs like Swae Lee when he had dreads. And I never put my bangs's into my ponytail so they always stay down and never get pulled on. And that way I also hide my tape line so I don't need to get lineups in the front. I just get my sides and back faded when I go to the barber. I'm protecting my hairline and bitches love my bangs 🤣
This goes for braids too! I get cut every 4 months. And I make sure I tell my barber how I want my hair cut. I always tell them barely touch my line. I don’t need a sharp edge up.
I been doing this even before I got dreads in general. I only get hair cuts for specials events or occasions. I only had 3 haircuts and 3 retwist this year. It’s been a month since I had my last haircut but it’s fine those months going without a haircut hit different than getting every 2 weeks 😂
I think it’s important to tell your barber to not dig into your locs. Specify where they need to cut it down and where to stop. Many barbers dig into the locs on the edges causing this.
Gotta remember people with waves can constantly het lineups because their actual hairline is under the overgrowth they lay down from wolfing. I decided to not get any lineups, maybe for thanksgiving..
Facts, they’re not touching the hairline, they are pushing back the hang over which does no damage! If you are consistently pushing back your actual line then you’re harming it
I’m almost 1 year freeform. No tapers or lines. I just got married so I got a soft line up but they didn’t go across the front of my head. Came out nice but wouldn’t do it again unless for special occasion
As a barber, I keep the hairline natural. And if any lineup needs tapering. Then I’ll barley go up. I feel it should be no more then an inch thick. Not all the way to the middle of your forehead. Unfortunately I can’t control how far back my previous clients hairlines were cut from previous barbers.
I don’t do lineups AT ALL to avoid this. I wanna actually see my 3 year loc journey come true 😂🎉 but I recommend doing lineups once every month or 2 months depending on how you can make the lineup last
I made this mistake when I was younger, with all of the lineups. Eventually it did push my hairline back. I stopped getting line ups so frequently and started using minoxidil to bring it back. It’s not completely fixed but overtime it has gotten better and it doesn’t look like I have moonroof anymore
@@ysl4life383i never had any side effects besides my skin getting very dry, but i also only ever used it on my face, it worked for me pretty good and filled in my beard pretty nice over the course of about 8 months being consistent with it
Yeah I get a cur without a line-up. Each time the barber ask if I want that line up. I’m like bro No. I’m growing my hair out and I touch it up a lil bit but now that it’s longer I use gel and do my edges with a comb. Lining be looking like a ruler big bother
I had a moon roof front taper but I made a recovery and now my taper is normal, no more bald fades, dark Shadow tapers only for me and retwist before hair cut first always 💯
For anyone who cuts their own hair. I recommend cut, wash, twist n style, line. Idk bout u guys but I def need a fresh wash after each cut and I'm sure u don't wanna wash ur hair after a fresh retwist
For new folks…How are you able to tell what hair needs cutting/lining and what needs retwisting in your lineup area? Are you maintaining the lineup more regularly so it doesn’t wolf? Also, do you have a hightop?
@@TPlocks yeah I got a set of Hightop locks but before you cut it I hold my dreads up or put them in a bunch and as I'm combing out my undercut before the cut you should not feel any pulling or tangled hair as your combing away from the part where your dreads start. If you feel any pulling at all its likely your pulling from your locks. And I cut my hair about every 2 or 3 weeks but I've def been going about 2 months sometimes more between each retwist
W vid!! i don't even get lineups no more i'll cut my taper to like 6mm if it gets a bit too unruly but i find brushing down my taper w/ some oil and brushing my baby hairs into a clean line gives me a super clean edge
Learned the hard way to avoid barbershops if you don't have already have a retwist. Had to comb out my first set of locs then start over again. I also would recommend getting interlocked more than palm roll retwist.
I appreciate this 😅 I actually spent far too long rabbit 🕳 hole searching after your last video when you mentioned the taper, cuz I had no idea wth you meant 😂
I grew my hair for a year & made a mistake by getting a front & back taper line up & I regretted it & cut it. I’m now growing my hair out for 4 months with no line up just a small tape up I do myself. I preferred cornrows naturally laid on my hairline.
In hindsight, watching this video now, would’ve been more helpful about four years ago. I was literally doing all of the things he said not to do and because of my ignorance, I lost a lot of locks around my sideburns and nape areas. When I initially had my locks started, I had a full head of lox. Now, I’ve lost about a quarter of my logs primarily in those areas aforementioned. So for those who are on the fence, especially regarding getting lineups, I advise from experience get your re-twist first, then your lineup. Please.
Big up this man. For anyone seeking a solution that keeps your head looking neat, I have started putting a single row of cornrow braids (middle part for me but whatever works) that I braid along my hair line and tuck behind my ears. Not only does my hair line stay intact and full, but it also shapes the face very nicely almost like you're wearing civic crown (roman crown). 💯 much love
I haven’t had a line up in about 8 years . Before I had locs I had a fro. And when I had a fro I didn’t line it up. The result. My edges are thick af. I’m glad I have good genes. I dont have balding in my family. And I’m 31 and haven’t had a single grey hair yet.
dude i came to this conclusion a while ago. fucc line ups. i have semi free form dreads and i have a natural thick and decently straight hair line. I realized i don't constantly need a line up for my hair to look good. and i have been loving not needing to go to a barber. look at models like luka sabbat and lenny kravitz they have long dreads with no taper or lineups, and it looks so good on them. black people are the main ones that focus so heavy on needing a lineup 24/7.
I’m so happy I never did any trendy ish with my locs. I just twisted my hair and let it it do what it do. Not really in it for the styling lime that. Don’t do the braids thing either I put it up or let it fall
I started noticing my hair doing that this year. It is WAY more notice than what it was. I looked at a few video and I’m just going to let the length grow back out in the front. Mine was cutting that front area too and it’s WAY too far back for my preference.
Good thing and bless with a decent natural hair line. When I decide to grow my hair I never take any line up because it would keep encroaching everytime. Look at Sean Paul when he had long hair. Plus I ain't want any low top or high top corn row or dreads I want an entire head full.
I miss my locs hella bad. I was getting the moon roof and slowly noticed it Lmao. It was bound to happen anyway because baldness runs in my family. But if I would’ve followed these things in my journey, I could’ve went further. Man I swearrrr I ain’t like the tapered hairline. I always called it the Omarion hairline lol. But I deff needed that tapered hairline or thicker locs in the front in order to go further in my journey.
I was born with a unique line so I've never been able to have the perfect boxed shaped line. I chose to get locs on my line because a taper would make me look crazy! My shit is rounded. The locs covering it makes it look normal.
And seriously line ups are a no go for locs. The back of mine were thinning from my barber cutting too much into sections that were apart of them so now I just let my hairline grow and trim it down
Bruh my hairline got bad when i hit 17-18 im 20 now i noticed both my right and left corners went back a bit and i have no idea why so i just grew high top dreads for like 1 year and ive been wearing head bands through the growing process cause my bad hairline drops my self esteem. I just let my dreads fall over my face and cover my hairline i cant work up the courage to have them up. my hairline isnt going back anymore but dam i don't think ill ever be having my locs up ever
Becareful ya’ll having your tapered hairline for too long without switching it up can cause traction alopecia. When you taper your hairline your essentially parting it in the front and parting your hair for long periods of time can cause damage.
Personally it’s just your opinion I feel like it gives locs a better style better look plus years of pulling your hair back re twisting it’s gone push your hairline back
In the process of growing my tapper out , that’s another journey by it’s self , trying to figure out if i should just get small locs or get loc extensions a lot of people never done it before
Got my shit pushed back a bit from lining up, so I just let the part that got pushed grow out again and now I just line the front of the new growth and I'm letting it grow right back into my locs. Luckily it didn't get pushed far enough to be noticed. So now I'm good. And I get cut once every 2 to 3 months, I don't care about looking messy for a month or two so I'm good now. Looks good and I don't have to worry about thinning out my locs or losing hair anymore.
it’s why i’m glad i became a self barber because i let my hair grow out for like a month and a half for the sole purpose of making sure my hairline grows to where it naturally is before i line and fade it up
I honest believe that lineups cause you to lose your line up… if you’re getting a lineup every week then maybe, but every 3/4 weeks shouldn’t cause any issues at all, most men start to lose their hairline by 25+ anyway!
Another thing you can do is let your hairline grow out and dread it little by little until you only got a small amount of taper left that’s what I’m doin rn
I be getting full blown tapers but to ur point I’m not doing too much too my lining my barber after a retwist does a very light trim and lines me where my lining is at
I stopped going to the barber after i got a taper and he thinned out one of my locs. The loc had to be cut out and since that day I line up my own hair.
Yea bro when it gets like that you just gotta sacrifice a couple months without a shakeup and let the front grow back. I normally do it in these winter months when I can get away with wearing a hat. By spring, summer everything crispy
Aye bro I just went from full set to high top last month and been loving it so far. I just got some clippers so I’m gonna try learning to do a taper by self with bae helping
What made you decide to go from full to high top if you don't mind me asking? I got high top and mine are shoulder length but just started growing out the sides
I cut my full set off completely actually! That was my set from college and HS. I chose the hightop the second time because of the versatility. My hair is super thick. (95 locs and not even using half my head!😅) When I had a full set, I couldnt wear hats, couldn’t do pineapples or ponytails, it just seemed limiting. Those things wouldn’t prevent me from getting them today but it was definitely my reason for starting em. That and the growing number of folks that gave me the confidence to grow them as hightops. Prior to Killmonger, there weren’t many depictions of hightop lockers in mainstream! Seeing him, dynasty tv, Gunther and all those guys with em, inspired me to try them! Glad I did! Feel like it’s the best of both worlds in one!
@@TPlocks yea man I'm debating it. I think the high top is more versatile, but i also wear my hair down a lot so I like the way a full set looks when it's down. Also high top requires a little more maintenance in my opinion. I also don't know a lot of people with longer high top locs except for you and a couple rappers I can think of...Thanks for the input bro even though now I'm even more unsure of which way to go 🤔😂
Thanks fam! Nah not really! I think my hair is prone to a lot of shrinkage though. I have a tight 4c hair texture mostly! I never really get to see the length until I shower and the weight of the water helps it stretch to its max length. After wash day, it’s kept in a bonnet most of the time. When you all see it, it’s usually just coming out the head cover! 😅 Dry and all. 😅
@@TPlocks 🤣🤣 shoot I havent retwist in 3 months. I love look tho. It's not too bushy where it's not acceptable. Good thing I haven't preached on Sunday in while or else these bad boys would be swinging all over the place.
Prior to starting my loc journey, I got a low fade to help preserve my hairline. The last time I got a lineup was a little over 2 months ago. Do you think after awhile, the more I get retwists but no lineup after that my loctition might accidentally take the hairs that are for my hairline and put them in the locs that border my hairline?
That's why king von was wearing them headbands because his hair line was pushed so far back, just look at the pictures on google thats why his forehead looked so big!
Keep telling my homeboys this they always like "why you only get a line up when get a retwist" bc what's the point of getting a Line up when I only get a retwist every 2 to 3 months gotta let your hair breathe

I wished I know this when I was younger. Now I lost my hairline long time ago 😭😭 so I shaved my whole head. Stay blessed brother 👊🏽
your hairline is gone due to male pattern baldness not line ups

That's funny when I had 360 waves I still liked the natural look ; got drop fades no shape up ; now on loc journey, I'm good on shape ups
And seriously line ups are a no go for locs. The back of mine were thinning from my barber cutting too much into sections that were apart of them so now I just let my hairline grow and trim it down

Might be the durag G. I’m 23 and same shit happened to me when I was younger trying to get waves

Nah cause if you don’t have a tapered Hairline before you have locs don’t try and get when soon as you start your locs
That’s a good point fam! You be getting folks crissssspy out here. We see you! 🔥🔥🔥
Becareful ya’ll having your tapered hairline for too long without switching it up can cause traction alopecia. When you taper your hairline your essentially parting it in the front and parting your hair for long periods of time can cause damage.
A groom people saying have a tapered hairline , the other group is saying to not have one . Which one is it ?🤦🏿♂️
When I got my first line up w my locs I made it super clear, brush my hairs down and line that, DO NOT give me that bs 😂😂
alot of black men tie they confidence to a line up and its sad tbh cuz ASAP Rocky wifed up rihanna and ive never seen him with a fresh cut
Chose to go with no lineups and no tapers. Just natural growth.
Probably for the best honestly fam!
Me too, Been growing for 3 years now
Personally it’s just your opinion I feel like it gives locs a better style better look plus years of pulling your hair back re twisting it’s gone push your hairline back
Of course it’s my opinion fam it’s my channel. 😅
I approve of this message Facts 💯

Same here. I’m just letting my sides and back grow back out. Then after awhile I’ll combine the loose hair into my locs.
@@glockboa_9236 man i got a whole bush on the front of my head it’s crazy how much hair i was allowing these barbers to cut .. hang in there 💪🏽
@@UFilmi I swear. Good luck gang and blessings on your journey ✊🏿
I’m in this same journey with y’all!! I have enough hair to two strand my front taper! Stay strong and trust the process🤝🏾

Main reason I don't braid my locs to the scalp
Wow TP,I just subscribed. You are right on point!
Thanks for the sub fam! And nice avi. Love St. Louis!
Got my shit pushed back a bit from lining up, so I just let the part that got pushed grow out again and now I just line the front of the new growth and I'm letting it grow right back into my locs. Luckily it didn't get pushed far enough to be noticed. So now I'm good. And I get cut once every 2 to 3 months, I don't care about looking messy for a month or two so I'm good now. Looks good and I don't have to worry about thinning out my locs or losing hair anymore.
facts imma do the same and ease on the lineups
Speaking big facts young man
it’s why i’m glad i became a self barber because i let my hair grow out for like a month and a half for the sole purpose of making sure my hairline grows to where it naturally is before i line and fade it up
I honest believe that lineups cause you to lose your line up… if you’re getting a lineup every week then maybe, but every 3/4 weeks shouldn’t cause any issues at all, most men start to lose their hairline by 25+ anyway!
Bless up for these videos man
Another thing you can do is let your hairline grow out and dread it little by little until you only got a small amount of taper left that’s what I’m doin rn
thank God my barber does my locs and my cuts
W Video Bro, This Was A Great Informational Video On Saving Your Locs & Hairlines For A Fact King!! 🤣😎🙏🏾🖤🔥
He said Moon roof hairlines I’m dead 😂😂😂
I be getting full blown tapers but to ur point I’m not doing too much too my lining my barber after a retwist does a very light trim and lines me where my lining is at
This is real clean and amazing advice 💯
The robot 🤖 sound got me rolling
I’ve never been to the barbers in the fours years that I’ve been growing my locs
This for y’all who be getin y’all locs re twisted every two weeks I get my locs done Every eight months I just keep them wash
I stopped going to the barber after i got a taper and he thinned out one of my locs. The loc had to be cut out and since that day I line up my own hair.
Happens to the best of us fam!
I keep my clips in after my retwist and go to the barber with my hair clipped and out the way. Scared asf lol.
It'll be a year Thursday, that I started my loc journey, no retwist yet and rarely get cuts
We here!!!
Ayeee bro! 🔥🔥🔥
This happened to me a few times. It’s an easy fix. Just let the front grow back for a few months then twist or braid it back in.
Bro that's exactly what I did, but I have braids, not dreads
Yea bro when it gets like that you just gotta sacrifice a couple months without a shakeup and let the front grow back. I normally do it in these winter months when I can get away with wearing a hat. By spring, summer everything crispy
So wait til it starts looking fuller then get a cut? Essentially right?
Aye bro I just went from full set to high top last month and been loving it so far. I just got some clippers so I’m gonna try learning to do a taper by self with bae helping
Ayee what’s up bro! (Brother Moses/Jesus) 😅 Welcome to the hightop squad fam! ✊🏾 How you liking it so far?
What made you decide to go from full to high top if you don't mind me asking? I got high top and mine are shoulder length but just started growing out the sides
I cut my full set off completely actually! That was my set from college and HS. I chose the hightop the second time because of the versatility. My hair is super thick. (95 locs and not even using half my head!😅) When I had a full set, I couldnt wear hats, couldn’t do pineapples or ponytails, it just seemed limiting. Those things wouldn’t prevent me from getting them today but it was definitely my reason for starting em. That and the growing number of folks that gave me the confidence to grow them as hightops. Prior to Killmonger, there weren’t many depictions of hightop lockers in mainstream! Seeing him, dynasty tv, Gunther and all those guys with em, inspired me to try them! Glad I did! Feel like it’s the best of both worlds in one!
@@TPlocks yea man I'm debating it. I think the high top is more versatile, but i also wear my hair down a lot so I like the way a full set looks when it's down. Also high top requires a little more maintenance in my opinion. I also don't know a lot of people with longer high top locs except for you and a couple rappers I can think of...Thanks for the input bro even though now I'm even more unsure of which way to go 🤔😂
@@TPlocks Honestly bro I love it - my head feels lighter, and washes are so quick. I've been rocking two-strand twists lately
When I first started my Dreadlock Journey I move my Locks up so the weight wouldn't make my hairline go up.
I’ve done nothing with my hair line. It hasn’t gone back and I went from straight Afro to locs
Do you think your locks have slowed down on growth? Great video as usual👌🏾👌🏾
Thanks fam! Nah not really! I think my hair is prone to a lot of shrinkage though. I have a tight 4c hair texture mostly! I never really get to see the length until I shower and the weight of the water helps it stretch to its max length.
After wash day, it’s kept in a bonnet most of the time. When you all see it, it’s usually just coming out the head cover! 😅
Dry and all. 😅
@@TPlocks 🤣🤣 shoot I havent retwist in 3 months. I love look tho. It's not too bushy where it's not acceptable. Good thing I haven't preached on Sunday in while or else these bad boys would be swinging all over the place.
Little red astray in the background nice to see black gunpla builders
This algorithm is crazy
Taking notes
Bra said or cut dem an you den ya end up wit a moonroof..🤣🤣🤘🏾
Much Love and Respect from Seattle 💙💚✊🏽🌃🌌🌬️💨🌳🌲
Ayeeee that’s home town! 🔥🔥🔥
That why you get your dreads done first then you hair cut second and it causes it to look like your hair lining put back it do
Prior to starting my loc journey, I got a low fade to help preserve my hairline. The last time I got a lineup was a little over 2 months ago. Do you think after awhile, the more I get retwists but no lineup after that my loctition might accidentally take the hairs that are for my hairline and put them in the locs that border my hairline?
Yes would take long ash tho
yes but it’s basically a good thing cuz it strengthens those locs for the next time ur barber decided to nick it
this is why I wash, twist, and cut my hair all on my own, icould never walk around looking like something out of an Alien movie
That's why king von was wearing them headbands because his hair line was pushed so far back, just look at the pictures on google thats why his forehead looked so big!
Keep telling my homeboys this they always like "why you only get a line up when get a retwist" bc what's the point of getting a Line up when I only get a retwist every 2 to 3 months gotta let your hair breathe
Bro The cartoon intro was fire who did it
It was a fiver project I paid for! 👌🏾
i tell the barber just spray paint me up 🤣
"Moon roof hairlines" 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
