Where are you located in GA?
So.. Ms Yannie... Going forward.. What the remedy to prevent further thinning? Glad your feeling better.
Weird question probably, but do you work on straight fine texture hair? I've had my locs for a little while and have been maintaining them myself, because my original "loctician" did some things I didn't like, I've never returned to anyone. You seem so knowledgeable and your work is beautiful! I'd love to possible visit your New Jersey location.
I love not being able to see my scalp. It looks so much more beautiful to me.
Isn't it a beautiful thing? You want when you do get it done you have a nice healthy head of new growth to work with.
I agree. I don't care for fresh retwists. I don't like to see the scalp.
Me. Too..❤️
Likewise
This comment!! Locd n lived in is lovely 😍💕
Lost all my locs due to Chemotherapy, starting over as soon as my hair starts to grow. Love disrespectful locs🇹🇹
I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON!!!!! Two of my locs were thinning in the back of y head and I got scared! I LEFT THEM ALONE!! Now they are fine, and I am free-forming. I love my rude, stubborn, disrespectful hairline and locs with ALL my heart!!! THANK YOU YANNIE!
Yannie "definitely, give good advise. I've learned a lot from her as well. 😊
I love when there is no scalp showing that’s the best locs to me
I barley get my hair retwisted and when I do it’s from someone that’s going to put love in it.... these people want you to come back just for your money let’s keep it real... Listen to your hair it will talk to you it will tell you when it’s time for a wash or a twist or time for some oils etc... Don’t overdue it. Enjoy your journey
Awesome! Blessings to everyone, if you haven't yet repented and accepted christ Jesus as your lord and savior, please do so before it's too late it's not God's will for nine to the parish. Acts 2vs 38 John 3 vs 16 Romans 10 vs 16
I wait from anywhere between 6 months to 2 years before I get my roots worked on. I learned to like it a looooong time ago when I first started growing them out during the awkward phase. The awkward phase really builds character. 😂
Do retwist or interlock?
I believe it lol❤️
@Sidney, looks like you have been growing yours for a while.
I currently do anywhere between 4-6 weeks.
@@StephenIsaacs Me too sometimes I wait 2 months
You have the best channel for locs on youtube. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Dang yannie, I'm a year in and i was messing up a little bit, but I found you just in time. I've been watching you for a month and it's helped me tremendously. Now I feel bad for the technique girls I used to watch 😣
don't feel bad, lololol, they served their purpose
I started my locs years ago not knowing the history of locs and its maintenance. I was getting my hair done every 4-5 weeks. Today, I noticed some of my locs are thinning. I was doing it all wrong. I use to think when the locs are loaded with new growth I said not my hair. I was in the neatness category. After looking at this video, my hairstylist probably won’t see me until late fall early winter…THANK YOU SO MUCH, YANNIE..wow..I was doing it all wrong. Money can be used for something else…THANK YOU
This is my 4th (don't judge me, I had commitment issues 🤣) and last set of locs and I prefer when my hair is not freshly done. I keep my routine simple. Gotta take care of my crown!
Yannie! You're forever coming through with the realness. I love it!❤️
Only way I can be. Y'all know I "KEEPS IT REAL"
My hair is fine, soft and has medium density...it's always looked a bit scalpy. Ugh. My locs are good to go, I LOVE them to be in a disrespectful manner, loathe the neat look and Yannie's philosophy helped me get started on this journey over 4 years ago.
Best of luck to everyone. xo.
A couple of yrs ago, I stumbled accross Yannie's video's. Soo glad I did. "Definitely, learned a lot listening to her.
She has been a Blessing.😊
I've said it time and time again. If you are about neatness then locs are not for you.
WELL SAID. Best comment ever
Thank you for posting this it will help a lot of people cuz myself I used to like the scalpy look cuz I didn't know no better plus I thought when your hair was snatched to God's it was marvelous 8 years I know better thank you and thank God my locks are as healthy as they are because I stopped now it takes me like maybe four months just to do a retwist
Glad you stopped before it was too late
You ain’t wrong, I appreciate you for putting this out there, loc health wellness is a real thing
Thank you Yannie for your wisdom you putting a lot of people on the right track when it comes to locs
Please listen to Yanie, she is 100% correct. I wish I knew this!!!. My locks are very long but they are very thin at the new growth.😔
Were you re-twisting too often? This process seems unpredictable because people have different type of texture and size diameters; so it doesn’t always mean tight twisting caused it. I notice Mother Nature twists the hair naturally without any help. So perhaps the person isn’t aware of this and are doubling the process; however when it’s done naturally not sure what means of preventing thinning can be implemented to avoid it since hair type and texture plays a part besides the parting length. So, when one observes that the new growth have slowed up than I think it is time to check ones diet, stop whatever re-twist they were doing, drink plenty water. and cut back on wetting the roots since the water causes a natural twist, and each time water is applied to moisture, it’s like getting it re-twisted. Water is a product. However, it doesn’t do justice to some people who have more oil in their hair than others who need more oil. Finally , how could anyone speak for all cases when everyone’s genetics are different plus this process is trial and error for each individual. One thing we do know the more healthier one starts the journey the better success it will be allowing the hair to free form without all the crazy re-twist that weakens the roots due to the hair is constantly in a locked down environment not free. That’s my observational experience.
My sis in law has gorgeous long locs, but they're so thin at the root, for the exact reason you said. She NEVER let the roots grow out, then she dyed them on top of that 🤦🏾♀️. I'm on my own loc journey, I made the mistake of too much maintenance and started to get the thinness but I took a break and starting to see the fullness again. Your video just confirmed I did the right thing, thank you. You're so knowledgeable, you have a new subscriber!
It's definitely a journey, a learning process. Sometimes you can feel all alone when thinking of the mistakes you've made along the way. Over twisting, and too much manipulation is the worst. Something I had to learn.
I know ppl who don't manipulate their locks and they still thin. It's called aging. One can loose hair due to aging with or without locs with or without manipulation
She’s talking about dreadlocks and manipulation.
Lose*
Your videos are so helpful. I’m only at 15mo and in dire need of a retwist but these “locticians” seem to shrink in fear from my head full of hair, and the fact that you have to fight to get at my scalp lol
I was over here thinking the fact that you CAN’T see skin when you open the hair was a bad thing 😑
People should still pull their locs apart in between appointments because if you let them grow together for two years that damages your locs as much as over doing them.
damages them how, wont they just be congos?
Exactly, i just separate them because I can't keep them from marrying. So far so good.
Yannie, you’re doing the work of the Lord 😩😩😩
Wishing my locs were inappropriate and disrespectful, they are more polite and well mannered. 😒
In trini we'd say the locs "scanty"
As a rastaman, I neva coulda be so fussy ova dreadlocks. From I born, I neva know of all dis. Technique wha? 😅 No suh, the bag a fashion ting, I & I nuh work wit that. So this and rasta a two different ting.....
what i see is that many gettin the feeling tha its time to wake up now so (they) set propaganda to rebrand whats rasta to dillute the growth .. i know this when jay z got dreds to lewis hamilton n even justin bieber now .. yous 💯 say this and rasta two different things.
@@jayelee7176 good point, Iyah. Still, I kno say a one coulda tek up a ting tru fashion & ting, nuttin nuh wrong wid dat. Is jus tru she a say she grow inna one rasta fambly mek I say dat
Followed u 4EVER..applied yr Teaching with GREAT SUCCESS...My hair is DISRESPECTFULLY BEAUTIFUL
This is so enlightening Yannie, thank you! Amandla here from South Africa 🙋🏾♀, and I just got my new locs done two days ago. I've been beating myself up for going for thick locs because my volume is just so small (I think I have less than 40 locs in total 🙈), however you mentioning that starting thick will be good for my hair in the long run since it provides a solid and stable foundation has made me feel so much better! Also, I am glad I saw this video right at the beginning of my journey, because now I know that I should embrace new growth and allow at least 2-3 month before styling.
Hey Amandla I'm also from SA, 3 years now on my Locs journey. Where do you do your Locs. I'm with XTL loc salon in Johannesburg
I knew you was TRINI before you confirmed it! Thank you for representing in such a knowledgeable and approachable way
I'm going for round 2. Round 1 I loc'd without really educating myself. 2nd time around will be different. Less is more is what I learned.
Wow. I'm glad i came across this. I leave my hair for months then people tell me it needs doing. But i noticed that it gets thinner. I will now know to leave it alone. I've had locs 4 times now and then cut them off because they get thinner
With freeform locs you have to ignore people's opinions... Stick to what you want
I am watching your video on a Friday night. I literally planned on a wash and retwist for Sunday. I just watched another video of yours where you talked about a new client who had a ton of damage and thinned locs. You explained that all of her damage was due to over twisting because she was getting her locs retwisted every single month. I just cancelled my retwist appt.
Seeing too much scalp has always been odd to me, if you don’t want to be bald why would you retwist your hair so tight or so often that it looks like you’re balding? 🤦🏾♂️
Obsessed with neatness
"Definitely, a good point.
I LET MY Locs HANG. I Never get Style
I took my style down right after watching this video. I haven’t notice much thinning.. yet but I have been getting styles almost every month this year 😅 I’m not getting a style until the holidays at the end of the year now, Thanks Yanie!
I used to do the same thing. But now i get styles on my birthday or holidays only
I just let them hang - no style needed - I love the simplicity of locs - folks make it hard
My dreads are clean an neat without getting a retwist or style just by oil an keeping them covered
What kind of oil
@@bukaruk Jamaican castor oil
I need to adopt this routine, mine are really thick though.
I was doing some things that caused the same issue years ago, along with massive stress. Thankfully, the issue resolved itself when I stopped the offending techniques.
You will notice when it comes to locs, if you do less it grows healthier and thicker.
Thank you for this knowledge 🙏🏾my scalp is burning right now from being too tight!!! I waited 6 months next time I'm waiting 1year and NOBODY gonna pucker my scalp anymore! Blessings to you ❤
Yannie I just want you to know that you’ve been such a guidance in the loc community. I started with Microlocs and ended up combined them and I recently went 4 months without a retwist ans I must say my hair is the healthiest it’s ever been. I’m going to go another 4 months again. Thanks queen for your free education! ❤️
Thank you for honesty and thoroughness. I’ve be sister locked for 3 years and from this video I texted my loctician and canceled my appointment. I’ve be going every 2 months but concerned about thinning hair and breakage. So thanks again.👍🏾❤️
Sisterlocks are a bit different because the base is smaller. If go too long before rety you will definitely have thinning at the roots and your more likely to have holes when u rety which cause cause breaking off. My hair grows super fast so I rety every month and I literally only do 1 or 2 turns so I have very little loose hair at the base to snap. Just a thought
I was so happy to find Yanni when I did. Everyone still rushing to do these quick fixes until they lose it all. Yanni works from the inside/out & speaks TRUTH!
Love your videos, great content ❤️
I can’t find the mic it’s somewhere lol. I just wanted to let you know I’m constantly watching your videos and you have been confirming what my hair has been trying to tell me: moisturize my scalp and leave me alone 😂 vitamin e and rose water for the win. Nothing else has made my hair feel and look this nice and the growth is just a plus. I don’t even feel the need to want to dye my locs black anymore because it doesn’t look ashy anymore lol. It feels rich and thick how I like it. Thank you for sharing how simple loc care can be! Edit: Honestly that ashy look was probably from products!
These videos are so great. I just started my locs less than a month ago and I started my sons too. Thank you for the guidance on the proper way to care for our locs.
I interlock my locs; however, I allow my hair to let me know when it’s time to retie (and that’s maybe every 3-4months) I love what I’m learning from Yannie!! Less is more!
I have had my locks for over 25yrs, have cut them off and on, for me I think I am thinning because I am now 64yrs old. I don;t do hair dryers, dyes or any of that stuff, I think it age thinning for me.
Yess Yannie Big up Muh Whole country one time and d Whole of d Caribbean 💯🙌🇹🇹🇹🇹
That is True Ras, that is Natural
Some Don't understand the Spirituality with it and the Natural Raw reasons for the look that's why they wanna manipulate it and put too much products etc
Locs is Different than normal hair
Ras ain't supposed to be touched much
But keep on spreading the word Yannie 💯 I see you doing this for 7 yrs + on RUclips
Much Respect 💚💛❤
Thanks for this video. I haven't retwisted my hair since the top of the year (I think. It's been a while) and haven't washed it since 3/30. Because I'm going on vacation, I have been contemplating washing and lightly retwisting it. My locs are only 10 months old and this is the first time I've gone on vacation with my locs. I know I will be in the ocean and pool water so I will definitely wash it when I get home. This solidified it for me. I'll rock my natural, disrespectful locs and enjoy not having to worry about styling, products (that I don't use anyway), getting my hair wet, the retwist unraveling, etc. Thanks again!
Thanks again for sharing. Your videos are always very informative
I just started locs and I am really confused right now but thanks to this channel I am getting better
Eye wash my hair once a month, spray it with Alkaline Water daily, and let it Crownsynthesize.
"Crownsynthesize!" Yessssssss
It’s I wash my hair,not eye 👁,but that’s a good technique alkaline is good for the locs but rose water is better for moisture with an oil
What type oil would you recommend? Would you spray your hair daily with rose water?
From the time you began to speak, I knew 🇹🇹. Great job lovie. Keep it up.
The problem is that most people use wrong or too thick shampoo which they don't rinse out good and if it's done to tight..uuuufffff....if you use the right technique it won't damage the locs or thin them out!!!! Problems are caused by wrong caring, shampooing it wrong and wrong products like locs and twist gels!!! I only use drinking water and light moisturizing, hair growth promoting natural Oils!!!!most people don't wash their hair right!!! It rottens from inside then...detoxing and rinsing it proper is very necessary for alot of people but some really don't care... It's also important to find a personal right and regular interlocking routine depending on the size of the locs...texture and growth!!!once a year or every two years is definitely too long apart!!!!
I use to be guilty of alot of this but I am getting better and better
You. Are. Wonderful. I needed to see and hear this today. I'm just beginning my loc journey and I want to be "fixing " all the time. But now I get it. No more fixing until it's time! Thank you thank you thank you Yannie! Blessings!
Thanks Yannie, learning a lot, not focusing on style or getting hair done too soon. I started last October but because I had surgery in February of this year going through some hair loss. Changing my diet I am what I eat, drinking nothing but water these days. Thanks again for the lessons.
Great Video Yannie! I used to be a serial retwister but not anymore 🙅🏾♀️. I love the disrespectful look 😆. Not retwisting as often definitely makes Locs look healthier and fuller I love it. Stay blessed Queen ☺️❤️🙏🏾
Love you Yannie, I leave mine the hell alone for at least 3 months!
Hi Yannie, thank you for your videos, I love them. I was shook when you showed the last client's previous picture....to see the damage that 2 years of over-manipulation caused is frightening. I'm thankful that when I started my second loc journey, I wasn't interested in neatness. I semi-freeform and only go to a loctitian once or twice a year. It's the disrespectful look for me always!
Thank you so much for this video. I am so thankful for it. I thought I was doing something wrong, because I haven’t had a re-twist in almost 2 months, and I can not even see my scalp, and was thinking I’d better go soon, but now, I’ve learned (from you) to not over manipulate my locs and just leave them be for now. Thank you again
Thank you Yannie, you’re an amazing lady.
I’ve just done a clients locs which turned out to look fantastic, 2 weeks after installation, I neatened them up after the 1st wash. I’m very much a perfectionist for my clients hair I use no products and recommend specific shampoos only with none of those nasties and I love creating the neat look, but I also knew we would have to wait for more messiness and new growth to keep the thickness of the locs ongoing and not to cause any stress at the roots. I’m so glad what I thought was right and seeing this video for confirmation is just everything!
I love watching your videos for education and confirmation purposes.
Much love and respect 🙏 Thank you
LOVE LOVE THICK ROOTS!!!
Glad I find you yannie! You been confirming what I thought n I'm taking notes on the other things you say! My locs are big, fat, and DISRESPECTFUL!
You are the best Yannie, I am starting a new lock journey as i've cut my sisterlocks a year ago but I want to start over with traditional locks
You know you could’ve combined the sister locs right?
You are the only person I would let touch my locs ❤ I did them myself I'm 3 & a half years in and one day I will make it for a legendary cleanse & retwist!
Great content. Thanks for sharing your wisdom !
I literally have to pull my hair apart to see my scalp too. I’m glad 😭😭😭
Y annie I started my locs with 2 strand twists 5.5 months ago. So I’m a newbie. I hope never to have my locs sitting like islands in my head. I was on my way to being a person who interlocks every 4 weeks until I saw your videos. I’m going to extend my next retie for at least 8 weeks from the last time and the goal is to push it to 10-12 weeks. Some of us hear you!
All points taken! I'm learning soo much and will forever take these tips along with me during my new loc journey. Thank you.
I WISH I would have known about you when I first started my journey. By the time I found you and started following you, a great deal of damage had already taken place. I cut mine off about a month ago. This time when I start, I'll have a little bit of experience. Thank you for your videos.
I do my own retwist and I do it every 2 months
You're why I wait longer between retwists...thank you for this
Thank you Yannie! I can see exactly what you are talking about. I have stopped being obsessed with the neatness.
You Ms Yanni are so so right I suspected this was happening and was telling my sister and niece just what you said 😢 because of my age of 68 this should not be happening. Now I’m starting my new journey will not twist anymore I want that space between locs to get the new growth back!!!
Good lord, I'm so glad I found this channel. I'm soon to initiate my loc journey and have been freaking out looking for a trustworthy stylist. Yannie is out here educating and I feel like I can spot a bad loctician much easier now.😭
Also, I'm def requesting to be her client once I get past my first year.
I love to watch your videos because I learn so much. I’ll make sure to not do it often. As for too tight, these locticians don’t listen in FL. Hair stylists down here do what they want and get very angry, offended, and sometimes belligerent when you show that you’re unhappy with the bad results stemming from them not honoring your request. I really want to learn how to do my own hair
I love when my hair is disrespectful (full and thick), wish I could claim her on my taxes 😆.
I wish you resided in the DMV. My children and I are natural. It would be nice to be able to go to someone who is knowledgeable and who cares about the quality of the hair instead of just trying to style for cuteness. I suffer from Alopecia Areata so I never go to stylists. I just wash and take care of my scalp to prevent inflammation and I never re-twist because of my baldness I have throughout my scalp. I’ve had Alopecia since I was 14.
Thank you for sharing this video. the information definitely needed, especially for someone who is still in the early stage of their loc journey . Appreciate you
I wish I knew where you are located. I'm in Philly right now about to move to Savannah GA in March 2023. I would ❤️ LOVE for you to take a look at my locs.
Thank You, Sister! I started locing in 2007 and half cut about 7 inches around 5 years ago. At some point, I REALIZED my love looked differently...there were more of them and they were much thinner than my originals. You are the First time I've heard WHY this has happened.😑
Thank you so much! I’m not going to get my hair done until June or longer!!!
I just started my locs last week and my stylist told me to come back in 1.5 x 2 months to get a retwist and an actual wash in 3 months
Thank you for teaching me....again !❤❤ Can't wait to see you and Jimmy again!❤❤
I ovastand and appreciate this..My loc journey started 12 yrs ago and after years treatment and maintenance I have learned to do my own hair..
The issue I have with my locs the front or base of my head the hair is thin but the back is thick.
Thank you.. this was very informative. I've been doing my son's locs since the pandemic started. This was very helpful 🙂
This is exactly why I went the free form route.
Hi there Yannie... I respect your opinions on locs and I enjoy the videos. What do you suggest for postpartum shedding/thinning?
Yanni I just wanna say I love your videos.
Was obsessed with neatness and dying my locs such that my scalp was always dry and hair at the root felt dry and I had to spray it constantly before I go out. Just reattached some most of the locs back and I’m trying to go at least one year without relocking, want my full head back
Mine don't know what they wanna be. I believe they are thinning, my hair was never thick but I would love to be able to thicken them up. My hair grows away from the locs but I don't like twisting often
Hi Yannie, I have watched you and listened to your advice since I found you 9 months ago. I started my locs myself during COVID lockdown and now need your expertise to make sure I'm on the right path. I look forward to your GA visit and hope I am able to meet you and treat my one year locs to some "Yannie" reality! Be safe.
My locs 22in healthy still got my parts In my experience tight twist locs, tight cornrows, rubber bands, locs don't do well under a lot of tension; in my opinion tight styles, rubber bands, not moisturizing, not adjusting loc jewelry every day before moisturizing, not starting off with a solid base foundation part, will cause breaks
Love love this woman Yannie!!! So anointed, God has truly blessed your hands!!🙌🏾🙌🏾
I wish I had all of this knowledge 16 years ago when I started my locs. Unfortunately, I’m an example of the last client. I was all about updos and neatness when I was younger. I didn’t know any better. Now, my new growth grows away from my locs and it’s thinning in the front.☹️
Same it’s very frustrating.
Lol @ disrespectful hair, very inappropriate! Love it!
I wish I watched this video, when I just started my locks, thank you for this very important info.
Yannie help! So I'm taking this loc certification class and she encourages starting locs with coils right. So the time came where we could ask questions, so I said I understand that this is your preference but there are some people who actually like starting their locs with plaits and two strand twist, especially if they're from the islands. She said well that's what happens when they haven't been educated and are unlearned. Immediately cut her off and said no this is their culture and everyone isn't concerned with clean trim looks. She's even teaching about pruning locs. Yannie! I know I got to get through this class for my certification. How should I handle this?
Waw. I honestly do not know what to tell you sis. Like seriously. This is the few times I lost for words on many levels from what I just read. Smh right now
@@YannietheLocologist I just finished my first one on one with her. I'm just going to get through the courses for certification purposes and not take any future classes. I'm the kind of person that I believe in healthy hair first and she said she was too, but when I saw her slap all this product I her clients hair, I knew it wasn't true. She claimed it was all natural but I promise it looked like butter. She told me I wouldn't make any money don't repairs don't waste my time. I finally just said just because people aren't conservative with their locs doesn't make them bad people. If their hair/scalp is healthy, that's all that matters. Everyone's journey isn't the same. Thank you Queen for setting such a great example. Write the book Yannie! We need you. Love and blessings. Thanks for responding.
When you start your business be true to yourself and keep that energy. Don't do it for the money, do it because you love it and the money will come. Do not EVER conform to others norm and I promise you will be blessed and be the owner of a successful business. I manifest that into your life. Ase
@@YannietheLocologist thank you Queen. This may sound weird, but I'm printing this and framing it. Why? Because I've watched you long enough to know when you say something, it comes from a good place and we always see the things you speak come into fruition. It really means a lot. Thank you and blessings to you and your King also.
Manifesting works we you believe it too. I just spoke it into exsistance you gotta take it from there. I know you will do great. Ase
