I am so glad I found your channel. I am newly loc’ed and love all the info. I don’t have sister locs but understand that this info applies to locs in general. Thanks for sharing. Please keep the videos coming!
Welcome!! I welcome all loc journey and help everyone with locs. The information I provided doesn't cater to just sisterlocs. I include the whole loc family.
Great information. Thanks so much. I love Sauve clarifying shampoo. I mist periodically with distilled/rose water mix or distilled water/tea tree oil mix. They both leave such a fresh fragrance.
You are so welcome! Yep, Suave Clarifying shampoo is one I always recommend. And I'm glad you use distilled water with your mixtures. So much better for the hair.
Really helpful information. Thanks so much! Sometimes my locs are hard but I've noticed that they soften up whenever I shampoo and use a rinse out conditioner. Also, I often don't drink enough water so dry locs remind me to ramp it up!🥰
This is GREAT content! Pass the plate bcz that was a preach/teach hunty👏🏽👏🏽 My consultant (God love her) had me dry out the gate and I came color treated red at install. I was at 18 mths and she kept telling me no moisture even when I asked for SL reconstructer. Whew my locs were parched and started snapping. When I moved to FL a few mths ago I KNEW I had to do something so I started using Basic leave in condish and hair oil to my scalp and bam it so much better but I have to pay now to have those locs repaired.
Definitely!! And mess around and not shampoo, put on a bonnet at night, have colored locs...your locs will really be having a "hard loc life" ... lol don't mind me lol
Thank YOU ☺️ Cause I was suffering with hard locs for the last years waiting on my bonnets from you you so great Thank you I will start washing it more and using less products
Good information. I don't suffer from hard locs. No color, yet lol. My hair is soft Naturally and I have a loose curl pattern. When I do color I'm going to keep these things in mind. 💚💚💚
I just came across your channel and you have given me more info than my locticians. I have been loc'd 1yr and noted thining in certain areas of my locs, holes and no one has ever told me to moisturize
I knew I was doing something right I have always shampooed my hair every 1 to 2 weeks even now with locs I still do my family & friends will try to tell me I wash my hair too much if I listen to them my locs would be dry & dirty
Thank you for this. I’ve been binge watching your videos since I found you 😊. Especially now with my hair lightened. Question. What do you think about Mielle pomegranate and honey leave-in? I started using every couple days since lightening. Do you think its too thick? Afterwards spray Aphogee Keratin Green tea reconstruction, which is light. So far no buildup but dont want problems in future.
Thank you for tips. I do wish you would have talked a little more about moisturizing colored locs. And please show up the conditioners you use as I have been locked a year and a half and have not test conditioned my locs, but I will this weekend.
I washed my hair from the beginning of locs every 2 to 3 weeks. The longest i have gone without washing my hair was about 4 to 6 weeks. I guess it was a week or 2 after I got back to the US. i was literally messed up with jet lag. Never again.
So for me, the reason my hair was dry was because of blow drying. ( I was using a hooded dryer attachment and everything!) Unfortunately, it's absolutely a necessity that I blow dry because it's currently cold in state where I live. The way I remedied this was by using a conditioner on wash day and by blow drying my hair to slightly damp and letting it air dry the rest of the way. Do you have any tips to blow drying completely dry but where the hair still feels supple afterward?
Do you have clients with scalp issues while wearing locs? If so, will you do a video on how you instruct them on wash maintenance and the locing process? Hope this question makes sense.
Yes, I can certainly a video on that. Here is one video of a client talking about her psoriasis and how she cares for it. ruclips.net/video/OzJKX_eVu6I/видео.html
I am honestly not the best person to ask. I've only used SL products and salon products on my locs. I really didn't get to play in other products like that with my locs. But my clients rave about Taliyah Wajeed brand so that's something to consider.
Hey , I have interlocks and my locs are hard in the back … I wash like once or twice a month😢 I put leave n conditioner every other day and oil 3 times a week😢
Love your videos, I’m in the process of doing DIY locs and was wondering if you can do a video on cutting your locs to keep them at a certain length. Can this be done with locs? Thanks for all the information you provide.
Thank you! I am not sure if I completely understand the question but watch this video to see if it answer any of your questions or concerns. If not, please don't hesitate to ask me to clarify. ruclips.net/video/Fgd-8CyYWiM/видео.html
Thank you so much.... so i need to start using shampoo and not just conditioner, and get a satin bonnet.... This was great news. Oh and I color my hair black every 2 months to color my grays, so I will get some water base leave in conditioner. Thank you again.
Hi! I'm 3 months sisterlocked and wanted to know if you've tried locsanity rosewater? The peppermint mixture has a murky look to it. Would you recommend this product? My concern is that it may cause buildup. Thx.
Hi Pauline, my sisterlocks feel like Brillo pads. The cuticles feel raised and rough. I noticed a change in texture after putting on a rinse to cover grays. I shampoo every 2 weeks using sisterlocks shampoo and use a spray bottle with rosemary and jojoba oil. Help please.
Hey, so color does loosen the texture a bit and raises the cuticles. Are you completely locd? If so, shampoo your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. This is one of my faves (amzn.to/3na0BR9). The spray mixture you use it fine, I would just make sure to use distilled water instead. Hope this helps.
Congrats on your new journey! Water always loosens up the hair. So I would recommend shampooing more often if it's not every two weeks and use a water base leave-in conditioner that you can mist your hair with daily or every other day. This video will help you with conditioners (ruclips.net/video/edg_hqego9s/видео.html)
I think imma go back to using oils! Lately I’ve been a one product (shampoo) and a mist of rose water & water type of girl and i feel my locs are dryyyy.
After showering can I take my shower cap off Of course there is steam in the bathroom after showering I love hot showers I take shower cap off after a few minutes of course they’re still steaming their will it hurt my hair my sister locks
The ends of my locs are so itchy & irritate my neck nape 🫠. Tryna hang in there and not cut them off 🥹 I want them like soft pillows..tell me how? Wish I would've known about loose ends. May have been a better choice than nubs. Can I cut to make ends loose?
Just keep them tied up in a pile on top of your head. Use the rose water Dash of tea tree oil/ carrots oil Jojoba, coconut, olive oil, clove oil every 3 days or so to soften. Stop all chemicals or twisting gels. 😊
I have to be honest I have seen locticians on channels don't want to share information that you shared thankyou for sharing.
I love to share information and happy that the info is helpful

Sorry for the word heart I mean hard locks lol
No problem!!
I knew I was doing something right I have always shampooed my hair every 1 to 2 weeks even now with locs I still do my family & friends will try to tell me I wash my hair too much if I listen to them my locs would be dry & dirty
Love it!! Water is so good for the hair and the locking process. Glad you didn't listen to them.
Great information as always; maybe you will consider brief zoom consultations for individuals seeking guidance. 🤔😊
Thank you! I currently do virtual consultations.
I love your channel!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great information sis 🥰🥰🥰

Looking for new products. I don't use leave in, water-based products and we just got new water softener!!

You are so welcome! I'm not familiar with those products but if you haven't seen buildup by now, then you're good.
@@EnToiBeauty thanks so much 😊
@@ebtheauthor my pleasure!
Great info!! Do you recommend a good leave in conditioner??
Yes, definitely! Here are a couple of my faves ruclips.net/video/edg_hqego9s/видео.html

Glad you were able to see the conditioning video.
how often should u shampoo
I washed my hair from the beginning of locs every 2 to 3 weeks. The longest i have gone without washing my hair was about 4 to 6 weeks. I guess it was a week or 2 after I got back to the US. i was literally messed up with jet lag. Never again.
Thanks for the info! How often do you recommend washing during the winter months?
You're welcome! If you workout, I would say once a week. If you don't, most can get away with every two weeks.
@@EnToiBeauty that probably explains why my locs have been feeling so dry 😔
@@ms_e yes, winter makes our hair extra dry. Here's a video that talks about winter loc care ruclips.net/video/myvsbLWB5RI/видео.html
Thanks
You're welcome 😊
Look I'm just trying to get some hang time #babylocs
I'm loving the lavender mint spray
Yay! Glad you're enjoying the hair and scalp spray. Hang time will be here before you know it.

Love your content but bae bee….if you don’t change that battery is your smoke detector! 😳😳😳😳 Safety First!!

What’s the best shampoo and conditioner to use for locs that I can find in beauty supply stores?
I am honestly not the best person to ask. I've only used SL products and salon products on my locs. I really didn't get to play in other products like that with my locs. But my clients rave about Taliyah Wajeed brand so that's something to consider.
Hey , I have interlocks and my locs are hard in the back … I wash like once or twice a month😢 I put leave n conditioner every other day and oil 3 times a week😢
Putting all kind of oil and distilled water got Rosa oil and leaves in conditioner
lol
Yea I'm guilty of most. 2yr locd
😄it's never too late
I use rogaine and noticed it building up in the area I use it. I lost a lock which I contribute to that.
Sorry to hear that hun
Does having hard/dry locs aid in the locking process for those just starting their locs?
The locs don't have to be hard to loc. It being dry helps but not necessary to loc.
Why my sister lock is thinning out at the root?
I would like to know the best product to remove product build up
Clarifying Shampoo, acv rinse, etc
Hi, I wanted to know if you know anything about the sisterlocks reconstructer conditioner, I have color locs and would like to use it
I used it a few years back and it was fine. As long your locs are mature, you're good.
Love your videos, I’m in the process of doing DIY locs and was wondering if you can do a video on cutting your locs to keep them at a certain length. Can this be done with locs? Thanks for all the information you provide.

Cause I be putting all kind of different products to make it soft and nothing is working and yes I have color 😌
Yeah, I would ease up on the products and when applying products do it on clean (shampoo) hair.
Thank you so much.... so i need to start using shampoo and not just conditioner, and get a satin bonnet.... This was great news. Oh and I color my hair black every 2 months to color my grays, so I will get some water base leave in conditioner. Thank you again.
You are very welcome! And yes, please shampoo your locs, then use a rinse out conditioner and then a leave in conditioner.
Hi! I'm 3 months sisterlocked and wanted to know if you've tried locsanity rosewater? The peppermint mixture has a murky look to it. Would you recommend this product? My concern is that it may cause buildup. Thx.
Hi, I haven't tried it yet. But I think I'll check it out.

Whats a good moisturizer for colored hair
Olaplex
Where to get aevda?
Amazon or one of their schools or salons. Amazon links are in the description
What’s newly lock how many months
Usually less than a year
Eight months sisterlocks and they are always stiff. What can I do
Congrats on your new journey! Water always loosens up the hair. So I would recommend shampooing more often if it's not every two weeks and use a water base leave-in conditioner that you can mist your hair with daily or every other day. This video will help you with conditioners (ruclips.net/video/edg_hqego9s/видео.html)
Let me go hydrate lol
😆 yes, hydrate
I think imma go back to using oils! Lately I’ve been a one product (shampoo) and a mist of rose water & water type of girl and i feel my locs are dryyyy.
Yeah, winter time will do that to you
Thank you 🙏🏾
I’d love to wash a least every ten days… do you think that’s too much? I’m mature with low density, washing makes my locs appear fuller.
Not at all! Every 10 days is great! And I do agree that it makes it fuller because the water swells it a bit until it's dry and back to normal.
Everyone is different. Do you. 😘
@@quartzzhuit agreed
Tell me how to take care of my color hair you got cut off I’m a blonde yes I like blonde
Yes, I love blonde! I would recommend using the Olaplex system. Great for color treated hair.
After showering can I take my shower cap off Of course there is steam in the bathroom after showering I love hot showers I take shower cap off after a few minutes of course they’re still steaming their will it hurt my hair my sister locks
Not really. It's not enough to cause unraveling if you're in the beginning stage
The ends of my locs are so itchy & irritate my neck nape 🫠. Tryna hang in there and not cut them off 🥹 I want them like soft pillows..tell me how? Wish I would've known about loose ends. May have been a better choice than nubs. Can I cut to make ends loose?
Just keep them tied up in a pile on top of your head.
Use the rose water
Dash of tea tree oil/ carrots oil
Jojoba, coconut, olive oil, clove oil every 3 days or so to soften.
Stop all chemicals or twisting gels. 😊
