FINALLY!! someone with my hair texture and loc method!!! and aroud the same stage as me! I started my locs in May and I never see beginner videos about two strand twist starter locs
Loc Twins ! 😆🙌🏾
@@shackie6866 can't believe it's already been almost a year
@@uniquelykmee9688 Yesss ! Congratulations to you ! I can’t wait until I’m that far along !
@@shackie6866 and now you are and I just started my locs yesterday and I cannot find anyone with my texture and method of retwist
I didn’t know that two strand twist even turned into locs. Lol i wonder how mine are gonna be when my appointment comes 😊
Hi new sub!!! I’m two years loc’d going on three and I can tell you from experience that SOME oils applied directly to your scalp will make you itchy. Some won’t but it’s all about the brand. You can always apply the oil to your new growth and massage it into your scalp if that helps. And tip: retwist and clip all the way down your locs. It will help with locking faster and take care of the fuzzies and will make your locs look more uniform. Especially if you ends are taking longer to lock than your roots.
Hii, So I seen someone saying she didn't retwist her locs all the way down to keep some of the texture, I wanted to do the same thing but I was wondering if you knew anyway I could preserve texture without having the fuzzies
Looks like a great start. New sub shackie. Stay motivated Queen. We in here with ya!
Thankyou sooo much !
Love this video!! You are a pro with editing your videos wow!!! Keep up the good work!! I watch a million and half RUclips videos every day and you did absolutely amazing!!!
Thank you soo much ! ❤️❤️
I’m so glad I found your channel! We have so much in common; similar hair textures, and we’re both blind 😂😂
But sis, if you aren’t having dry scalp issues then I’d just use the spray bottle because the oils will get to your scalp that way. Don’t worry about using the nozzle, or applicator bottle.
I oil my scalp directly with a light carrier oil, like almond or grape seed. Those oils are super light, and they replace the sebum that my scalp doesn’t really make. I have always had dandruff and a terribly dry scalp, so this works for me.
😂😂 So you know my struggle ! Cant see anything without my glasses .😩 & Thank you sooo much . I’ve just been using the spray bottle mainly , unless it’s a REALLY dry day . I’ll definitely look into the almond or grape seed oils , I’ve never tried it ! Thank you so much !
New subbie . Good luck on your journey. I’m 8 months loc today . I’m so excited.
Thank you ! I can’t wait until I get that far along !
Love love love your locs❤
I'm so glad I found you! It's looks like we have similar hair texture and I want to use the twist method. Part of me wants to grow my hair for a couple more months but then another part of me is just super excited to start NOW lol so we'll see what happens in the next couple weeks.
Loc it up sis !
Girl I’m 2 weeks in and I go for a retwist tomorrow because my hair is soft but my new growth is a beast I’m embarrassed to go outside. Wearing a hat tomorrow lol
Lol . Its all apart of the journey! It'll get better! Curly hair makes beautiful locs!
Thank you thank you thank you, so much for this!! I feel liked I’ve looked everywhere on how to retwist my original twists after washing, and this video really helped! So, thank you 💗💗💗💗
I love this! We have the same hair texture I’m starting my locs tomorrow. Hope your journey goes well!
“If I look crazy... I can’t tell” lol yaas. How it is when you’re blind.
Yessss ! 😅😅😅 Can’t see nothing !
Major! Finally finding someone with a similar texture and 2 strand starter locs washing video
I see the T-shirt. I’m from Wilmington, NC. I really appreciate this video. I plan to start my journey real soon using the two strand method.
I started my journey January 14th 2021 I’m super excited
Loving your journey , Right behind you ! 😁
Thankyou !
You and your locs are very Beautiful ❤
New subbie! I just got my 2 strand twist starter locs installed 11/20. This video was so informative!
Thankyou sooo much ! & Congratulations on your journey ! 🤎🔒
@@shackie6866 you’re so welcome queen ! Thank you ! 🖤
This was really really helpful thank you
It makes total sense about the oil. If its in your spray bottle it will get on your scalp 🤷🏽♀️.... but who am I I don’t have locs yet lol.
This is so my hair right now snd your so pretty bae ty for the video ❤️😍💋💎
I also just moisturize my hair and my scalp has never been dry or had issues with itching or dandruff
Thank you so much for uploading this! I’ll be beginning my locs on the 31st of this month and this has been so helpful to me!!
Soo happy I could help! Congratulations on your journey!
You did a great job love.
New sub first off I loved how your energy is through out the video... second loved this I just did two strand twist on my baby and this was very helpful I’m not locd yet but I need to see hire I do with hers first before I commit she loves them so I’m excited for your journey we will be here watching and experiencing as well
Thank you sooo much ! I’m happy it could help ! Congratulations on your babies journey !
I just started my loc’s September 29th
Ooooo ! Our dates are only 8 days apart ! 😆🙌🏾
Your skin is so beautiful
Thank you soo much !
You are absolutely beautiful Melanin come through yaaaaassssss
I'm so excited to stay tuned for your journey!
Thank you sooo much !
I’m starting mines tomorrow 🥰
So beautiful, keep it up
Mine will be 1 month next week and its exactly same style and same lenght😭.
Am so excited lol.
I look at those loc charts and I can’t understand the damn thing. I don’t know if I’m 4a 4b 4c 4z or whatever
If you have locs, go by how your hair texture was before being loc’d. There are many charts online to compare it to.
Lol been there
Love it Yessss
Throughout your whole loc journey how many times did your twist come a lose until they were fully locked up?
I started mine Dec 4th 😂💙
I'm a month loc'd. I feel like I should retwist my hair, but my hair hasnt' started budding yet. What do y'all think?
Congratulations ! I retwist every 4 weeks , I didn’t start budding until month 2 . It definitely depends on your hair texture & length on how your retwist goes .
im no professional but from my experience thus far, definitely wait I did my first retwist about 4-5 weeks after my initial twist. I loc'd my hair in May I didn't start budding until November. It will take time and it varies for everyone just be patient you will start to see your hair change
@@uniquelykmee9688 did you wash after two weeks ?
@@niny365 I surely did! I don't believe in that not washing because xyz.
Loved this video. I agree. Your hair was made for these!! 🥰
My two strand twists are SO curly they are like stuck to my head. Especially in the back where my hair is more coils. Any suggestions on how to stop that will be helpful. Thanks!
Different textures do different things. Try pulling them apart and moisturizing everyday.
@@shackie6866 thanks!
Video was very helpful
Happy I could help!
Looks great. It was kinda hard to hear you sometimes because it sounded like you was whispering, but the information is very helpful.
How can putting oil on your scalp cause your scalp to itch when the oil keep it moisturized and dryness is what causes itching? Um, who said that? Smh.
Anyways... Your scalp produces its own oils that goes down your hair but that's not as simple with kinkier hair so we tend to put oil on our hair but mostly the ends since the oil from your scalp takes longer to get there and older hair would need it more... Me personally I put some conditioner and oils in a bottle of water and spray my hair every morning and evening. The water gets on my hair and scalp plus I double spray my edges so everything gets moisturized.
The key is knowing what oils do what and what works for your hair. Coconut oil grows my hair becaue it keeps it soft but some people say it burns their hair 🤷🏽♀️.
I don't trust "hair oils".. I buy the oils straight from the person who made it at home so it's the raw coconut oil or whatever. Mostly because that oil is what my hair likes and I don't want added ingredients my hair doesn't need.
Thank you ! I was told that when the oil or any product sits on your scalp , it could cause itching . I guess cause the scalp isn’t breathing . No biggie though . I oil it sometimes but mostly just use my spray bottle . Haven’t experienced any itching or dryness yet .
Some oils that people use don’t moisturize. They’re sealants, the water is a complement to the oil which seals in the moisture so maybe that’s why certain oils will make your scalp itch if you’re only applying oil and nothing else, you’re basically building up oil on your scalp which makes it cakey and itchy. Plus your hair will still be dry. Coconut oil is a moisturizing oil so that’s a good one to use.
Also, yess I agree with going straight to the source! I’m about to start making my own oil for my scalp/locs. I don’t trust anything anymore.
I notice you didn't twist your hair counter clock wise
I did . I twisted to the left .Whichever way that doesn’t unravel my hair .
I had 2 strand twist since december 4th but they were starting to loc / so I took them out because I had 43 and now I have 86 long semi thick dreads .. Should I call up my sister ? To get a retwist wit da 86 I have now?
I have about 51
Can I use bee's wax on my loc
How long did the process take??
I cant remember exactly, but probably like 4-5 hours because it was my first time.
Im going threw it / can i only use water to retwist ?
could you link the products please?
I just started so am not really sure about something. Do I have to retwist it??
No you dont have to. Retwisting just keeps your parts in tact. If you never retwist, they'll start to freeform.
Did you blow your hair out for the first twist
Do the video 😫
