Uuugh! I wish I’d been able to catch this LIVE when it aired! I’m so out of my normal routine care due to my current responsibilities, even though I brush my locs and ALWAYS sleep with loc sock (off my hairline), I have so much loose, fly-away hairs (fine/thin/wavy) that refuse to join their established loc bases. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ You know the drill!
You got me with the ponytail! And I'm over here thinking I'm helping my hair to loc because it's not swinging freely, so I'm not touching it as much. SMH! 🤦🏾♀☺
I have gone as long as 4.5 months between interlocking hoping my locs would lock up. They don’t. Between interlocking sessions I incorporate the new growth by wrapping the frizzy around the closest loc. I was worried this might be too much manipulation. You call this grooming and I love that.
Hands in my hair as I am watching this. This video gave me reassurance because the roots to some of my locs are not locing up. It’s in those areas that already had issues before I even started the journey. A few in the back and a few in the front. I absolutely love my locs it’s been almost two years and those few that just aren’t locing have me feeling really insecure.. I don’t get retwist often but I am starting to think that may be the problem. I am a head wrap girly I love covering my head but because of that I do pull my hair up a lot to get the wrap style I want. Maybe I will lay of that a bit. I’m thinking of getting a crochet retwist the next time I go to my stylist but idk 😩
This video gave me so much reassurance. I'm glad that i stopped by, I'm starting to believe that Im retwisting my hair too much now that my hair is about to be 6 months in.... well I started off retwisting my roots biweekly and its refusing to loc, having big gaps at the roots can be a major headache while my ends are really starting to mature. You said it well 👏 it all makes so much sense that it takes time to loc so it should be longer in between retwist cause I'd obviously be tampering undoing the process of it locing while the other parts are already loc'd. Thank you🎉
Next month make 1 year and I can honestly say hand in hair syndrome is my weakness. I love my locs so far they’re doing things that’s pretty weird abs cool at the same time but boy I shake them and run my fingers through the end way too much. I’m trying to stop lol
Okay it sounds like it’s kinda of normal to have loose roots. Especially on the top of my head, my hair is soft and grows away from my locs very easily. I’m thinking about utilizing crocheting but idk if I should
hi, what does "regularly groom" mean? I am 1 yr in, and learning every day, last RT was Jan 28 :) it's about that time lol, but I love not seeing my scalp!! but yeah what do you mean? Thx!!
Can I crochet my roots after one and a half inch, because when my rasta grows I did the crochet too close of the roots and because of that, the roots was but the rasta was soft after a some days and I ripped it of Can someone help me with this problem please ? And my English is not good enough 😁, I fought 😁
Thank you so much for the information! It is helping me tremendously! I loc’d my hair in April of last year (‘22) and I am watching your archives because, like you, I want to know the ‘why’ and ‘how’ and everything I can about locs and how they form and their care. Knowledge is power! ✊🏾🤎
I’m so concerned about my locs being unhealthy/damaged. I will be 2 yrs locked March 15 24. I was 4C loose natural before I decided to loc my hair. I struggle with seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp and have suffered with dry scalp/hair and itchy scalp. My locs is sooo frizzy and I wonder if it’s due to damage or what. I also have some straight ends that have me questioning is that normal or a sign of damage. Every time I go to a loctician I’m told my locs are healthy, but I do suffer from lack of moisture. But I feel otherwise about the healthiness of my locs. I hope you can give me some advice. I have yet to find what works for me far as moisturizing my locs.
Get you some 100% Rosemary oil and a spray bottle. Mix the rosemary and water into the spray bottle and spray you hair every morning with it. And I use shea butter and black castor oil to re twist my hair. Hope this helps!
And try to get natural products to wash your hair. I use Native shampoo. A lot of products have alcohol, which drys our hair out. Ready the ingredients of your hair products, all the time

I'm a terrible case of hands in hair. I get caught so much that people ask if that's how I got my hair like this (I'm free-forming it 😂😂)
Im glad this popped up on my recommendations because im always like man i twist it up here and its not twisted
That part about the bonnet! 🫨🫨

I keep my hands in my hair, I am ashamed to say. I know its not good but I have to work on it seriously
Thank you you are very helpful I'm learning a lot about my dreadlocks.!!!💚💛❤️

Thank you for this video ❤
1. Yes I have to cover my head to keep my hands away. 😆
This was sooo helpful!
Thank you soo much!
I have hand in hair syndroooooome 🫠
I workout and sweat in my head, does that keep your loc from locking up
Thank you. Appreciate you❤
1.. since I was a Kid . I was/am a twiddler
So if my hair grows away from my locs, how often should I retwist?
Cause I usually go two or three months. Lol I'm trying to make sure I'm doing good
I have this same problem
My hair grows away from the loc also. My hair has been loc’d for 21 months and I retwist my hair every 3 to 4 weeks. It works for me.🤷🏽♀️
1 and I wish I didn't do that. I have to catch myself and stop😢
1 yes I do
Okay it sounds like it’s kinda of normal to have loose roots. Especially on the top of my head, my hair is soft and grows away from my locs very easily. I’m thinking about utilizing crocheting but idk if I should
Also, the friction on your hairline from bonnets will cause hairloss.

1/2 in
I knew before i started i was hand in hair person 1
I learned with my first set.. I'm not touching it at all. No styles my first year, no ponytails or pulling. Just letting them be
1/2 inch monthly
My ends are thick and my roots and shaft are condensed... I want the whole loc thick 😢
How often are you retwisting your locs?
@@thedigitalloctician I started at every 8 weeks then 10 now Im at 12. I won't be going past 12 though.
Have they thickened at the root?
I’m 45 and I have a couple that WILL NOT LOC and I’ve been loc’d for like 10 years 🤣🤣😩
You must tie a do rag over your hair was scarf over your head every night and every day
Can I crochet my roots after one and a half inch, because when my rasta grows I did the crochet too close of the roots and because of that, the roots was but the rasta was soft after a some days and I ripped it of
Can someone help me with this problem please ?
And my English is not good enough 😁, I fought 😁
I have that issue so here goes my confession I’m a 1😂
Also if you're pregnant you're hair may not loc because you don't have hair shedding
Thank you for this!
