    when you said something like "your hair cannot hold a style for 3 weeks. Don't have unrealistic expectations. Healthy hair reverts back to its natural self. Your hair will hold your retwist for 2 weeks, as it should. That is okay. Put health over style" that really opened my eyes. I really feel like I learned something. I haven't been doing anything crazy with my dreads at all, but I've mentally been having excessively high, unrealistic wishes and expectations. You right, Damian. You right.

    Glad you said this , I got coils a week ago , they’re all frizzy now, I don’t touch my hair spray some light oil on it and go. My bf keeps asking why it’s frizzy, shouldn’t I be twisting it why doesn’t it look neat like the first day. I just keep telling him it’s a journey and I’m enjoying every phase!

      I truly believe Weave and any other "protective style" for Black women that overtime, destroys the natural hair to where it can never grow again was invented and created by THE DEVIL. Weave is The Devil. I truly believe Weave is of Lucifer/Satan. Witchcraft.

    omg......... i just saw this exactly when i needed to see this. i started palm rolling and was pissed when my hair wouldnt stay in the coils i started with... so i interlocked ( gently not tight at all probably not enough) but I see where you've made the products available to win at home. And have a realistic expectation. I was under the impression the coils had to stay for the entire 3-4 weeks so that my hair could lock but if it wasn't locking then i was just walking around with dirty scalp for no reason when i could be washing. but again this just came when I needed it to. I appreciate this video . palm rolling it is. patience it is. letting my hair be great so i can continue to be great.

    I started my journey a little over a month ago and my first twist lasted about 2 weeks maybe a day or 2 more. just got my first retwist on the forth of this month I started with about 8-9 inches of hair. I was so relieved when I found the person that is doing my hair she is all about no products as well. looking forward to seeing how far I will have come in a year from now and much later after that.

    whew! one min and 8 seconds in and i am relieved! i just knew this was going to be a virtual butt whooping. i mean it is in a sense. but you're so right my expectations are unrealistic and a lot of this has to do with the fact that i was basing my journey off of PICTURES online and not diving into the real deal. whole time i thought i needed stronger bonding agents! wow thank you so much for sharing this information. i am 2.5 yrs in and every retwist ive had i always get the hair blue bc my retwists start looking unkept. now i know the real reason why.
    many MANY thanks!

    I love your videos you give out priceless information about how to care for our locs. I'm 18 months into my loc journey and I tell you it was trial and error for me, I started my own locs using the two strand twist method and my biggest issue was my retwist not staying. After watching your videos as well as Yonnie the only locologist, I have gained a wealth of knowledge. I'm super tender headed so when I twist my hair I just leave it alone!! No styles, no ponytail, no nothing just hanging out resting. I don't use gels and such just aloe vera straight from the plant and a mixture of light oils, nothing with castor oil because I'm allergic to it, and I the my hair with a silk or satin scarf and that's it. I'm learning less is more when dealing with my locs. So please keep those videos coming I truly appreciate your expertise in the natural hair/loc areas. Peace and many blessings to you 🤗 🤗
