    6-8 months for me. I'm very low maintenance and people around me HATE it and keep trying to tell me how to do my hair 😂 and I'm like I don't care. Why is my hair hurting you?😂

    Yannie, I just listened to your 3 year old video regarding “Healthy Locs Mind & Body Regiment”. I NEEDED THIS because I was considering cutting my (12 year old) Locs before listening to your encouraging video. Continue doing the fantastic work educating so many people like myself. We also enjoy all the humor too😂. Please don’t be discouraged by the haters or thin skinned people. So many people need your raw wisdom and years of knowledge….NO SUGAR COATING, REAL TRUTH! I’ve been so blessed listening to a few of your videos this afternoon. Be Blessed!!!🙏🏽💜

    1 year is the longest I’ve waited. I learned from the best (you). I started following you when I first started my loc journey and the one thing I learned was to leave my hair alone. Fast forward it’s been five years and my hair is to the middle of my back.

    My hair grows away from my locs and as of today, it's been 5 months since my last re-twist (I have been super busy!). So, I have a mini afro with locs growing out...yikes! This has been the longest in-between for me. Fly high! US Air Force vet here!

    Hey Yannie. The longest time before a re-twist for me is 5-6 months now. Before coming across your content, I was getting a re-twist once a month. Thank you for sharing your knowledge : )

    To be honest, I usually do my hair every 2 to 3 months. Mainly for work, but also because I'm working on being more low maintenance.

    Today is my anniversary, its been 1 year 🎉. I would usually do it once a month since my new growth grows away from my locs and I honestly didn't know how to deal with it but the longest I went was 8 weeks and it was really great. So I'm going to stretch them out a lil more. Hailing from 🇹🇹🇹🇹
    Your videos have helped me alot. Thank you ❤

  • @Cedy2334
    @Cedy2334 Год назад

    I've been loc'd since 2014. I've maintained my own locs 95% of the time. I used to retwist my hair every 4 weeks. Since watching your videos earlier this year. I've gone two months without retwisting. I noticed thinning at my roots and watched your videos and ever since I've noticed a difference since I've taken a break from retwisting so often! Thank you Ms. Yannie!

  • @gwentaylor8639
    @gwentaylor8639 Год назад +3

    11/2 years. Let me explain. Before I found Yanni. I was 1 of those that got their hair done every 2 months
    I was put under the dryer, products were used in my hair as well
    I have always had natural hair not very thick but long and when I decided to lock I was introduced to this beautician and let her do my hair
    I had been locked for 6 years when I found Yanni and listening to her and inspecting my hair I found every single thing that she said DON'T do I was doing so I stopped immediately
    I had the classic parking lot parts that Yanni talks about so I have been following her advice and that is why it has been 11/2 years since I had it done
    I tried once to do it myself and that didn't go well,
    So since then I just keep pulling them apart, keep them oiled and wash every 6 months and I LOVE IT
    it is slowly growing back and 1 day I want to see Yanni before any one else touches my hair
    They are down to my butt and healthy
    THANK YOU YANNI!!

    I haven't retwisted my hair since you first did it 2021! I just keep it clean and separated until I get the opportunity to see you again. I don't trust anyone else to do my hair!

    • @jenniferslowley4319
      @jenniferslowley4319 Год назад

      Greetings. How do you separate your hair? My hair only has to be plaited for 5-6 weeks and the locs start to meld. I would love to just separate and neaten my locs without the need for retwisting. My hair is thin at the roots. Many thanks

    I do once a quarter! So every 3-4 months. I started doing this after I hit a year locked to just let my scalp breathe and let my locs stay thick. I love letting it be disrespectful and full I feel like myself when I do that

    @MsDani_HazmatChick 11 месяцев назад +1

    I started my own locs in February and I maintain them myself. I retwist them every 3-4 months. At first it was because I was being lazy and didn’t feel like it but then I was like oh wait I like the way it looks. As of today it’s been about 5 months since the last time and I still haven’t retwisted it. I do the bare minimum to them and just let them do their own thing.

  • @PARADOXsquared

    I do mine every 3-6 months, depending on how much of my hair is trying to grow away from my locs or into other locs.

  • @chrismuffin5441

  • @munk-a-dunk5188
    @munk-a-dunk5188 Год назад

    The longest time it was after around 9 months, usually every 6 or 7 months done by myself.
    My philosophy is the longer you wait until getting your locs done, the later you will do it the next time. I prefer to prolong it because it takes me 2 or 3 days, and I suffer from lower back pain due to having my arms raised during hours while I crochet the new growth.

  • @DragonBellyTravels
    @DragonBellyTravels 11 месяцев назад +2

    I have been loc'd since 2017 & interlock every 4-months or so. Sometimes, I don't interlock for 6-7 months; 8-months has been the longest.
    I'm a New Yorker, but live in Europe, retired Air Force, been following Yannie's advice since 2016 and rll, like my locs, remain completely disrespectful! 🫡😇😘

  • @autsept7116
    @autsept7116 10 месяцев назад +1

    I went the summer of 2018 without twisting my locs. It reset my thinking and love for my hair. When my hair was first loc in 2006, the person put smaller locs on the top/front of my hair than the back. I wish they didn't. I have always wondered if there is a way to combine them so the top and front are more hearty. Any advice? I stopped dying my locs in 2019 when the grey/ white became impossible to keep up with. My hair is so much more healthy without the dye! It helps to leave it alone, but they are skinny, and I have just had to accept it. I have cut my locs many times so it does not weigh down the locs at the top of my head, but the base of the locs are small. Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • @rosegarden1903

  • @jaemoe1701
    @jaemoe1701 Год назад +1

    The longest I left my locs with out getting a retwist was 3 1/2 months. I had to stop doing that because my roots started to get thicker and disrespectful. It started to look like I was Freeforming ,so I get them done once a month now.

    Hello Yannie, I need your help. I have been locked for 4 months now. It’s been a journey. The person that did my starter locs lied to me 😂. I had to learn the hard way. I am a CMA. I have to look the part. After watching your videos, omg. I sincerely need your help. I will call for an appointment with you and Jimmy when you return back to New Jersey. I have lumps all over my head. ❤

    Thanks again for a great video! I have medium to large Sisterlocs and based off of your knowledge do you think combining would benefit me in the future? I have fine, low density hair! Also if I combine would you accept me as a new client? I know you maintain more larger Locs so I’m curious

  • @NiCholeMoody
    @NiCholeMoody 10 месяцев назад +1

    So am I supposed to let my locs air dry? I notice how short my locs are when I get it done by my loctician. When I wash them at home, I would oil my scalp after washing and wrap it in a cotton t-shirt. Depending on how early/late it is, I will leave it like that for a few days. Or I will sit under the dryer after it's been wrapped at least 5 hours to soak up as much water as possible. Sit under my dryer(not an efficient one) for about 30 mins. Squeeze a little shea butter throughout the length for shine and then put a loc tube on it. My only products are shampoo, conditioner for the ends(rinse out), hollywood hair oil(shampoo and conditioner from same line), and shea butter. I hardly ever retwist because it takes me too long, and my arms and fingers(arthritis) can't do it too long. I wash once or twice a month, depending on how much I sweat. I style them in the rope twist when I want to "change it up" and wear it that way for a few weeks. My hair loves twist and I noticed how long my locs are by doing it myself. How do you wrap your locs? Mine being different lengths(my hair naturally grows uneven) makes it hard to bun it or fold it.
