    I'm coming up on 4 weeks into my loc journey. I did a lot of research before i decided to two strand twist my loose hair and I'm still gathering as much information as I can. As a loose natural I tried all the styles and began to gravitate towards marley twists and faux locs only and thought I should just loc my hair. So I did lol for many reasons too but mainly I was over manipulating my hair and just wanted to let it do what it wanted to do. Best decision. And your locs are absolutely gorgeous and so are you! 💕

    I am nine months in my loc journey. There has been a lot of trials and error, but I’ve also learned a lot about my hair and what it needs. I started with my hair sectioned and a boxed neatly but it’s semi free form now less stressful on my scalp and me. My advice if I may is that you should learn to do your own hair because going to a Loctician can get pricey. And there is so much beauty in doing it yourself.

    I’m just a few days short of 4 months into my loc journey and I’m so proud of how far they’ve come already! It’s so interesting how unique locs are because I feel like mine are developing weirdly fast compared to a lot of other people I’ve seen. I’m semi-freeform so I’m not sure if that has anything to do with it but they’re pretty stiff and solid about 3/4 of the way down and still frizzy two-strand twists toward the end. They’re also not very heavy yet (there’s one random one in the back that’s speedrunning that’s actually heavy but everything else is getting that loc shape and texture 3/4 down but still lightweight). I’ve also already seen a good bit of length retention in such a short period of time. I have about a full inch worth of extra length that’s visible, but I can tell they’re shrunken because they haven’t dropped and I lost a hair the other day that was much longer than my locs when I stretched it out. Looking through these comments made my realize I style them too much though because my actual loc starts about a half inch from my root, time to commit to wraps and stop styling so much!
    Thanks for making loc content, it really helps to encourage me on my journey and help me learn new things! I’ve been a loose natural my whole life and I’m only the second person in my whole family who’s ever locked their hair so I’m going off of RUclips and intuition.

    Thanks for the tips! I’m 5 months in my journey but my mistake was getting retwists with styles every month because that’s what my stylist told me to do up until the 6 month mark. I’m noticing soooo much space from my root to where my actual loc is and I honestly could have avoided that if I didn’t get so many styles, but it’s okay because I’m going months without a retwist!!!

    This video was so helpful, ive had locs before but I did the "insta loc" way with a tool, and it worked, but my locs were fragile in the beginning since it kinda damages the hair. I shaved my head, and finally I'm trying the twist method, and it looks ecaxtly like yours innthe pictures, lol uts just good to know its normal

      You can do it! The hair is learning to stay in one place but over time it will be "trained" to lock up

    Is it recommended to stretch starter locs specifically when started with two strand twists before going to sleep? What is the best practice for night maintenance so that upon waking it it won't be all over the place lol. Didn't know if braiding nightly would cause issues or should you leave as in or maybe in a loose ponytail?

    • @holisticflo
      @holisticflo  Год назад +2

      Great question. I stretched my starter locs in the beginning and wouldn't recommend it because it could make the locs unravel. I would try a loose ponytail

(still do but im better at catching it) now im a week into my starter locs and i keep tugging at the ends bc i like the feeling when the coils bounce back...

    Thank you. I am just starting. I had my first retwist by a loctician Saturday. Do you have any suggestions on how to treat my starter locs while I exercise? Should I spray with water, so that the sweat does not cause flaking? What type of product should I use to prevent sweat flaking?

    • @holisticflo
      @holisticflo  Год назад +1

      Many people use essential oils on the scalp that keep the scalp refreshed, such as tea tree oil or peppermint. The Free The Roots products I use already have that in there but I usually spray that on my locs after my workouts (after shower)
