I can’t even lay my head on any kind of surface unless I have a bonnet on. It just feels so wrong. I’ve been doing it since I’ve been a loose natural and now a locd woman. Pretty sure it’s an obsession 🤣
The accuracccy about not retwisting often, I’m so glad I learned that early bc I really want thick thick locks not thin. Also this is one of the few videos that’s mentioned eating healthy and drinking water, I really appreciate you bringing that up, it’s about alllll around health and when your body is healthy your hair is healthy
Ngl, I wasn’t paying attention but when you said “Don’t do anything with your hair when your hair is dry.” But when you said it for the third time, I had to look up 👀 lol I got it.
i laughed out loud at the lint mob. that feels so real! also, i had locs for 6 years and never moisturized or used conditioner. ever. when i combed them out, i retained very little because my hair was sooo dry and brittle. like you said, if you plan to have locs forever, it's probably fine, otherwise you need to take care of them! low maintenance not not maintenance.
Wrapping your hair is important early on because your forming your locs. So in the starter phase, budding phas and early on in your teen phase, I'd say do it! But once you're in the late stages of teen phase going into mature phase, you don't need to. Hair is meant to he durable, especially locs, so why would you want to wrap your hair when GOD MADE IT to last. Just make sure you have a satin pillow and sheets, and you will be fine! The nails part makes sense because if your nails are breaking off or too long, it can impact your hair. That part is true! You should definitely keep your nails maintained so it can go through your locs smoothly! Lint is going to get into your hair no matter how much you try to avoid it. Its unavoidable. These are facts, so there's nothing around that. The better you maintain your locs, the less lints you'll have in it. You don't have to moisturize your locs. If you have a healthy diet and lifestyle, your hair especially being a black person retains natural moisture in on itself. Ancient folks like Samson had seven massive locs, you think he was moisturizing his hair every second, c'mon folks, some things are just common sense! Retwisting too often makes sense, every two months is fine once it's mature and so on . Every 4 weeks in starter, budding phases, and 4 to 6 weeks in teen phase! Agreed with don't conditioning your too much, it retains too much build up! Diet and hydration, I agree 100%! Thats is actually the most important part of your loc journey. If your diet and hydration is on point, your locs will be extremely healthy. That is more important than anything else and it's the one that gets the most overlooked of everything you said concerning folks with locs!
I’m literally on day 1 of my journey. I did the two strand twist coz I’m doing it myself. My grid is cute but I definitely needed this channel. Thank you ☺️
I start my journey tomorrow 😮 I’m so glad I found this video lol 😂 thank you so much . This is my first journey at 30. My 20s tore me up but also built me up. I went natural three years ago and I have not been able to maintain my 4c hair. I can’t wait until this summer 😊
@@Earthena1 I combed them out a couple of months ago bc I missed my silk presses but it did help my hair grow and I had colored them too. I’m going back when my hair grows a little more
11 years in the game you Do not have to wrap your hair every night especially when short .if you have a satin pillow case that's all you need .I only started covering before year 6 when my hair was no more staying on the pillow. Now it tail bone definitely you can't sleep without bonnet For the lint make sure your hair is covered when you do your house chores .later start brushing with a soft boar bristle brush .before washing so you remove any before it gets embedded into the loc during wash time Lol never heard about the nails. I had nails all the time it's not that important Retwisting wait minimum 2 months to avoid over time thinning but I know some who for 15 years wash and and retwist every 2 weeks and they have no problem .not one size fits all I can spend a full week without moisturising cause my hair is moisturised and sometimes I need to do it daily . listen yo your hair 😊 just like you listen to the rest of your body. Best advice is learn how to do everything yourself as not even the loctitian will know your hair better than you do . Trust the process but also trust yourself
did 2 strands myself finished Jan 1. I'm 16 and i struggle with a lot. this was my third recent attempt. I only use water and an oil mix for moisture and leave my hair alone. i try to wrap my hair up in a scarf. so far day 12 most my hair has shrunk incredibly. as someone with soft 3c4a hair im surprised. im not looking forward to a retwist because most my hair has come undone or grown out but I promised myself I would stick with it. im also planning to attend uni in a couple months.
I have never wrapped my hair ever. I have had locs on and off for 20 years. I only wear a bonnet lately because my hair is almost waist length and it splays out like Medusa.
You ain’t lyin!! You’re hilarious though! LOL! I just got microlocs June 4th. I’ve had my first retie already! Time is flying by and I’m trusting the process because girl, the frizzies and scalpy look is real! 😳
I love your presentation you are really full of joy. I appreciate all knowledge I am 6 months in and I am in a different state from my Loctition. I am so grateful to know I have been doing everything right w/ the exception of the always moisturize. I am experiencing such a free feeling w/ my natural hair. God Bless your health as well .🙏🏿🖐🏾☺️
The most important are hydrating and not over twisting. Wrapping is important, but not every night. I can't wrap for more than 2 weeks at a time, because my scalp gets dry and itchy from the wrap pulling moisture from my hair. And that pressure on the scalp is annoying. A bonnet is definitely a good thing, because it covers the hair without putting pressure on the scalp, tension on the roots, and irritation on the scalp.
Girl I'm not even pregnant and the laziness hits me so hard sometimes, I just tie a satin scarf around my pillow. Because if that laziness hits me on a night least expected, best believe I'm not about to look for no scarf😩😂
I literally jumped up out of bed, to go find my bonnet before I started watching this video. I live with three Siberian Huskies and three cats. And don't forget my roommates with 1A hair. I only mention that because my locs literally attract every loose strand of their hair😫
Retwists every 2 weeks don’t hurt but are not necessary. Retwists every 10 weeks or more cause thinning. So I’m glad you said 5-8 weeks. We recommend 4-6 weeks or whenever you have an inch of new growth. Now if you see someone with tiny locs at the root and thick locs at the ends…their locs were started with the wrong size partings. Freeform is temporary but if you freeform it’s better not to ever retwist and maintenance once a year is dangerous. 😳
@@deee8324 Hair grows every day and where 2 different textures meet is a breaking point. Where new growth afro hair meets locked hair is a weak spot basically. And slowly but surely individual hairs separate from the loc. When it finally does get some attention there will be a weak spot in all of the locs. So something must be done with the new growth to make it match the locked hair. Long story short neglect does not cause locs to thicken…it causes the opposite they thin out and break off.
@@deee8324 that’s not true, leaving your hair alone causes you hair to lock. I semifreeform. I retwist maybe every 6 months or so. I wash my hair every 1.5 month and separate the dreads, oil them and rose water spray them to keep them hydrated. Put a bonnet on every night.
Really informative, engaging and funny. Thanks for sharing this, especially the note about diet and nutrition (often overlooked). New subscriber here :)
I have very loose curly hair n i went the coil route and my scalp has such a bad dandruff problem even when i oil my scalp it just irritates it but when I don’t do anything it gets dry and flaky but even I wash my hair it’s like I’m starting my love journey over. Show I restart and go for two stand twist method
I know this video is old but ay, the way I looked up when you went "lint mob boom boom boom" and then I laughed out loud when I read the caption bc I am from Yay 😂 I felt tricked lmao
I love your energy and advice. My loctician tried to convince me to come every two weeks for three months! I am approaching my 3rd month on the 4th of March. She told me not to mist my hair with water because it will cause my coils to frizz! At what stage did you start moisturizing your hair with conditioner? She told me to moisturize with oil! My hair texture is similar to yours so you confirm that it takes time but the my coils with thicken in time! Thanks for the advice.
Water and rose water helps with moisture, and you use oil to seal. Water actually helps the locking process. Some don’t use oil at all because it’s a sealant and once applied your follicles are sealed so putting water on top of if is pointless. I’d say try it and see how your hair responds :) hope this helps
@@sydddd3781 thank you. I guess this why my hair is not expanding like others because all I used at first was oil. I started using water and/or rose water to see if this would help. I don’t know how my buds can travel with my coils being so tight! I have found another loctician to guide me thru my journey.
@@valeriecheriece8311 yes!!!! I’m 3 months locd and started with shoulder length type 4 hair. I also started with the coil method and all of my locs have a significant amount of budding. Give it time and keep them moisturized :)
Recently I acquired a bad habit. Plucking lint fuzz with a sewing needle out of my locks. It's weird and I know I am tearing them but I can't seem to stop doing it.
I like you you’re funny. 🤣🤣. The lint mob that’s coming for me had me in tears laughing. That one quote made me subscribe. I need some laughter in my life lol🤣🤣. Your tips were awesome to listen too. I am almost a year into my journey come June 2022. Boy has it been a journey. At times I wanted to scream because the two strand twist kept unraveling and the frizz is real. I’m a year in and the actual loc is loc’ed but I’m learning the roots will never loc that’s the purpose of the retwist 🙄duh. I was retwisting every week. After hearing so many videos I am at two to three weeks now. The great thing for me is because of spiritual reasons I keep my hair covered in public. If it had not been for that bye bye loc’s. The initial stage and look I would have been quit. I do little styles that help preserve my retwist. I have and continue to do my own hair and I learned everything I know listening to people like you. Lol I was subscribed to everybody initially now almost a year in I’m at like 3 or 4 locsters I am subscribed too you now my 4th😀👍🏽. I have learned to like that unkept look when my loc’s are doing their own thing at the roots, not twisted, the nappy look. I find if I style my locs then it keeps me from retwisting every week or two. I don’t want no thin loc’s 😡. My locs have grown in my journey 😃slowly but I can see the growth. I keep my hair covered for bed ALWAYS never missed a day to ward off the lit mob🤣🤣. If I don’t moisturize daily my locs dry out so I do that daily and I oil my locs with hair growth oil twice a week. I found I just have to learn my hair doing my journey and it will tell me what it needs. I love my locs and I will never comb them out. What’s the purpose of going through the journey to one day comb them out, that’s just silly to me and a waste of time. This is how my hair will be until Jesus comes for me 😳. I look forward to more videos from you because you keep me laughing. How do you deal with the frizz?? Oh and a life saver for me to get my hair to loc and avoid all the constant two strands coming aloose I used a loc tool after 6 months of wanting to pull my hair out and after that first twist with the tool I never had to retwist the loc again. It’s just the roots that come aloose so quickly that drives me nuts. How do you keep your roots twisted for so long to be able to only retwist every 5 to 6 weeks??
I’ve been growing mines since this April, and I swear my hair has grow a lot! I get em twisted like every four to six weeks! I don’t wash it til then. My hair is very thick so my hair started locking very fast!
do you mean don’t use conditioner every time you wash, or just don’t DEEP condition every time? i use a lightweight conditioner every 2 weeks because i have high porosity hair and live somewhere dry. loved the video, would love some advice, thanks!!!❤
Great question! I don’t deep condition every time. But I do typically provide a light amount of leave in conditioner after every wash. (VERY LIGHT AMOUNT) and mainly only on the ends of my hair. And then I mixed water and leave in , in a spray bottle and mist my hair like every other day, especially if you’re in a dry area.
I have really enjoyed your videos so far. New subby! I just started my locs a little over a month ago. Scheduled for my first retwist at the beginning of February (almost to the 8 week mark) and I'm so excited. I am hoping I can safely have my locs retightened no less than every 8 weeks, but I have to wait and see what they need. I started out feeling some kind of way about my starter locs, but I am embracing them, me and this journey. Thank you for sharing your journey with our community! 😊
I know about 6 of the 7. I think maybe she missed one. I've worn locs 10+ years. For a few of those 10 years, I colored my locs brighter colors. The dyed sections of my locs definitely have more breakage, brittle. I stopped coloring my locs.
Hey hey I'm new here. So happy i found your channel. We have a similar hair texture and both started with 2 strand twist. I'm 1 year and 3 months in and I'm loving it. I did notice that with my texture the length of the 2 strand twist sections are taking longer to loc in comparison to persons with looser texture. Your hair is a perfect rep of what's going on with mines.
I’m CRYING 🤣 I know exactly what you’re referring to. But I don’t think that is necessarily from two strand twist. I personally think it’s from retwisting too often, combined with ur retwist being pulled back in a style too tightly, combined with genetics.
It happens when guys go get a haircut BEFORE they have there new growth retwisted into their locs. The barber cuts the new growth when doing an edge up causing the hair line to slowly reseed.
Okay. So, I’m Only half way through your video and I’m just LMFAOOOOO!! 😂😂😂You are too cute! “Lint squad” 😂😂😂😂I almost fell to my knees! See ya next video!😉
My aunts Loc’s comes pass her but, they are full and healthy the the crazy part is she never wraps her hair at night she doesn’t oil or moisturize, she only washes if she gets a retwist which is about every three months, she does NOTHING to her hair
I’ve had my locs for 5 months now and for the last 3 months I’ve been doing exactly this. Lol only because life is so hectic I be happy to even get a bath at the end of the night 😂😂 but that’s so nice to hear hopefully I’ll be the same
No real distinct difference, you just leave your twist in permanently to become locs. Sometimes when people are getting 2 strand twist specifically for locs, they’ll start by doing a comb coil at the root or braid at the root just to help secure them tighter and help them loc faster. I didnt do that, but it’s an option. Also sometimes when people do twist with the intention of locs. They are bit neater and more methodical in their partings and number of locs because they know they’ll be in “permanently” Hope that helps ❤️ make sure to subscribe!
5 weeks and a few days in.... And I'm being called out for not wrapping that head! 😩😭😭 Even before locs though, my excuse was I always did put a scarf/bandana/bonnet on and wake up in the morning for it to be next to my face 😃😭 I wasn't having it loll. But I'm trying, day by day.
I just started my two strand twist loc journey on the October 5, and I want to know what is the best product to use on my locs that’s healthy like what product did you use when you first started oh and have you use taliah waajid tight hold on your loc Journey before and do you know if the product causes build up or not oh and did you ever used Jamaican mango and lime locking gel with manuka honey oh that's I just watch the video and you explain how you got your two strand twist done and what products you use thank you.
Since ur still in the beginning stage you will need to come back more often but once a couple of months go by I say (4-5) you can go longer without having to come back as often. Just speaking from my experience. Usually during the early stage ur locs are the most fragile and can unravel/form weirdly
I started on coils. My hairdresser said to come back once a month for styling so that it doesn’t fall out of place. Is that reasonable or should I wait a longer period?
I am going on my 4 months in its frizzy I cover my hair every day I got caught in the rain last week I hope it didn't ruin them what advice can you give me how I can loc faster
I can’t even lay my head on any kind of surface unless I have a bonnet on. It just feels so wrong. I’ve been doing it since I’ve been a loose natural and now a locd woman. Pretty sure it’s an obsession 🤣
Same here!
Me too🤣🤣🤣

The nail one is true!
I like you you’re funny. 🤣🤣. The lint mob that’s coming for me had me in tears laughing. That one quote made me subscribe. I need some laughter in my life lol🤣🤣. Your tips were awesome to listen too. I am almost a year into my journey come June 2022. Boy has it been a journey. At times I wanted to scream because the two strand twist kept unraveling and the frizz is real. I’m a year in and the actual loc is loc’ed but I’m learning the roots will never loc that’s the purpose of the retwist 🙄duh. I was retwisting every week. After hearing so many videos I am at two to three weeks now. The great thing for me is because of spiritual reasons I keep my hair covered in public. If it had not been for that bye bye loc’s. The initial stage and look I would have been quit. I do little styles that help preserve my retwist. I have and continue to do my own hair and I learned everything I know listening to people like you. Lol I was subscribed to everybody initially now almost a year in I’m at like 3 or 4 locsters I am subscribed too you now my 4th😀👍🏽. I have learned to like that unkept look when my loc’s are doing their own thing at the roots, not twisted, the nappy look. I find if I style my locs then it keeps me from retwisting every week or two. I don’t want no thin loc’s 😡. My locs have grown in my journey 😃slowly but I can see the growth. I keep my hair covered for bed ALWAYS never missed a day to ward off the lit mob🤣🤣. If I don’t moisturize daily my locs dry out so I do that daily and I oil my locs with hair growth oil twice a week. I found I just have to learn my hair doing my journey and it will tell me what it needs. I love my locs and I will never comb them out. What’s the purpose of going through the journey to one day comb them out, that’s just silly to me and a waste of time. This is how my hair will be until Jesus comes for me 😳. I look forward to more videos from you because you keep me laughing.
How do you deal with the frizz?? Oh and a life saver for me to get my hair to loc and avoid all the constant two strands coming aloose I used a loc tool after 6 months of wanting to pull my hair out and after that first twist with the tool I never had to retwist the loc again. It’s just the roots that come aloose so quickly that drives me nuts.
How do you keep your roots twisted for so long to be able to only retwist every 5 to 6 weeks??
I just started conditioning my hair after 8 months into my journey because my hair was always dry.
OMG! The lint scares me. I’m considering loc’s, thanks for the video.
Just started my locs 2 weeks ago, I'm going to safe the process 🤦🏾♀️. Thanks for the video
I’ve been growing mines since this April, and I swear my hair has grow a lot! I get em twisted like every four to six weeks! I don’t wash it til then. My hair is very thick so my hair started locking very fast!
do you mean don’t use conditioner every time you wash, or just don’t DEEP condition every time? i use a lightweight conditioner every 2 weeks because i have high porosity hair and live somewhere dry. loved the video, would love some advice, thanks!!!❤
Great question!
I don’t deep condition every time. But I do typically provide a light amount of leave in conditioner after every wash. (VERY LIGHT AMOUNT) and mainly only on the ends of my hair. And then I mixed water and leave in , in a spray bottle and mist my hair like every other day, especially if you’re in a dry area.
I get reties every 6 weeks and I'm booked in for the next 3 months!
I have really enjoyed your videos so far. New subby! I just started my locs a little over a month ago. Scheduled for my first retwist at the beginning of February (almost to the 8 week mark) and I'm so excited. I am hoping I can safely have my locs retightened no less than every 8 weeks, but I have to wait and see what they need. I started out feeling some kind of way about my starter locs, but I am embracing them, me and this journey. Thank you for sharing your journey with our community! 😊
Thanks for subbing!!!!
Starter locs i would say at least monthly at least I had to get mine redone monthly. I am 4 years in now so i get mine redone every 8 weeks
I know about 6 of the 7. I think maybe she missed one. I've worn locs 10+ years. For a few of those 10 years, I colored my locs brighter colors. The dyed sections of my locs definitely have more breakage, brittle. I stopped coloring my locs.
I am nearly a year in and I am terrible at wrapping up my locs. I do have my pillows in silk and velvet pillow cases, though! 😅😅😅
iv subbed now , just started this helped, also u have a beautiful personalit
With the nails also like scaps on ur fingers or if I work out dead skin that dries up also gets caught in ur hair and pulls hair out
Trueeee
Not only does wearing a loc-sock help keep my locs from drying out AND I have VERY LITTLE lint issues. 💯
Hey hey I'm new here. So happy i found your channel. We have a similar hair texture and both started with 2 strand twist. I'm 1 year and 3 months in and I'm loving it. I did notice that with my texture the length of the 2 strand twist sections are taking longer to loc in comparison to persons with looser texture. Your hair is a perfect rep of what's going on with mines.
Do two strand twist pull your hairline back? You know how some guys have dreads start in middle of head an haircut in front part of they head
I’m CRYING 🤣 I know exactly what you’re referring to. But I don’t think that is necessarily from two strand twist. I personally think it’s from retwisting too often, combined with ur retwist being pulled back in a style too tightly, combined with genetics.
Tapered hairline or front taper you are referring to as the cut.
It happens when guys go get a haircut BEFORE they have there new growth retwisted into their locs. The barber cuts the new growth when doing an edge up causing the hair line to slowly reseed.
Thank you, I just started my locs journey and this is really helpful and will be beneficial for me❤
Started my loc journey today 😊 I laughed so much throughout this video you are so funny lol and very helpful biting my nails off now lol
I thank you for these tips. I’m 9 months in and I hate retwisting
Instagram brought me here! Just got my starter locs (comb coils) on Jan 8th!
i enjoyed this video so much. im going to go to your videos and hope youre still loccd so i can binge lol
I use a satin scarf over my pillow. The bonnet & scarf never stayed on my head.
Okay. So, I’m Only half way through your video and I’m just LMFAOOOOO!! 😂😂😂You are too cute!
“Lint squad” 😂😂😂😂I almost fell to my knees!
See ya next video!😉
I have a 2-3 weeks old fade…. Should I sleep with something on my head, do I wash it once a week or what ? I’m new to this entire loc journey
My aunts Loc’s comes pass her but, they are full and healthy the the crazy part is she never wraps her hair at night she doesn’t oil or moisturize, she only washes if she gets a retwist which is about every three months, she does NOTHING to her hair
I’ve had my locs for 5 months now and for the last 3 months I’ve been doing exactly this. Lol only because life is so hectic I be happy to even get a bath at the end of the night 😂😂 but that’s so nice to hear hopefully I’ll be the same
Does a bonnet count for wrapping your hair up ?? How should you wrap your locs ? I usually moisturize my locs and then put a bonnet on
Bonnet definitely counts!
I’m four months into my loc journey now. The Lint Mob segment of this video almost took me out 😂😂😂😂!!
Congrats on your journey!!
Hey 😅 I'm LC too!
So what is different two strand twost and two strand twist starter loca
No real distinct difference, you just leave your twist in permanently to become locs. Sometimes when people are getting 2 strand twist specifically for locs, they’ll start by doing a comb coil at the root or braid at the root just to help secure them tighter and help them loc faster. I didnt do that, but it’s an option.
Also sometimes when people do twist with the intention of locs. They are bit neater and more methodical in their partings and number of locs because they know they’ll be in “permanently”
Hope that helps ❤️ make sure to subscribe!
@@ImsimplyLC will I already get two strand twist as a hair style and they start to come unraveled after a month of so. How do we prevent that
Sisssss!! This video is brilliant 😁🧡🌿 Being 1 Year plus into my journey, I agree with all of these 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 You came with the knowledge! Thanks Queen
Aww thank you!! ♥️🤗🤗🤗🤗
5 weeks and a few days in.... And I'm being called out for not wrapping that head! 😩😭😭
Even before locs though, my excuse was I always did put a scarf/bandana/bonnet on and wake up in the morning for it to be next to my face 😃😭
I wasn't having it loll. But I'm trying, day by day.
Hahaha it’s okay, every day is a new day start fresh 😂😂 I’m still not perfect with it but I’m trying
@ImSimplyLC I LOVE your earrings...where did you get them? 😍❤️
I have never had lint in my locs, I think it’s because I don’t oil my locs I only oil my scalp
I just started my two strand twist loc journey on the October 5, and I want to know what is the best product to use on my locs that’s healthy like what product did you use when you first started oh and have you use taliah waajid tight hold on your loc Journey before and do you know if the product causes build up or not oh and did you ever used Jamaican mango and lime locking gel with manuka honey oh that's I just watch the video and you explain how you got your two strand twist done and what products you use thank you.
Honestly all those loc produce caused issues and build up for me, so I really only retwist with water and oil.
Your hair is so beautiful!! I’m screaming!! 😂
i started off with 2 strand twist locs april 15 2022 and they told me to come back every 3 weeks 3 times. how do you feel about that?
Since ur still in the beginning stage you will need to come back more often but once a couple of months go by I say (4-5) you can go longer without having to come back as often. Just speaking from my experience. Usually during the early stage ur locs are the most fragile and can unravel/form weirdly
It was the lint mob that made me hit subscribe you are silllly 😂😂 love the video
Hahaha!! Thank you for joining the squad!!! 🤎🤎
Loved the video. Can you share your moisturizing routine? Nothing seems to help mine.
I started on coils. My hairdresser said to come back once a month for styling so that it doesn’t fall out of place. Is that reasonable or should I wait a longer period?
It may take different maintenance for coils, so I think that could be reasonable. Hopefully someone with coil locs can comment.
Glad I found your channel, subbed
I am almost at 8 months and I wish I woulda followed my gut and wrapped my hair earlier ima start du ragging it at night or putting it in the bonnet
Love this! Thanks sis!
It’s the lint mob for me 😂😂
How do I know that my loc is mature
I am going on my 4 months in its frizzy I cover my hair every day I got caught in the rain last week I hope it didn't ruin them what advice can you give me how I can loc faster
Spray with rose water EVERYDAY.
I'm going to get my hair loc soon I want to know what is fine 4c hair?
This video is so apt...100% fact
I love yo personality
Can started locs loc themselves when hanging down? Or you have to keep them in a style to loc up? Because I want mine to hang.
They can definitely loc just hanging down, I never really did styles.
Thanks for the tips babe i need to wrap my hair girl…I just put this bonnet on
Question during the beginning phase when you’re not suppose to wash your hair do I moisturize now 😩😩😩
