Great tips. Funny thing is I'm 4b/4c and initially started out with 237 twists. I didn't like the way they looked after 6 months, so I took the twisted parts down and had them interlocked as well. Looking back now (after watching a trillion other 4b/4c locked youtubers) I realize I should have just let them be and trusted the process. TFS.
Hell yes trusting the process is soo hard! I am now just learning to let go and let grow coz ama be bald headed if I keep messing with this head of mine🙅🏽♀️
Very good advice 👌🏾. Suffered the same problems through my lock journey. I think I would have benefitted from knowing this earlier too! Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful commentary on SL / ML😊 But please be careful out here when it comes to your SL , everyone is not out here for your good on your hair periodT. I let a girl In Hayward CA, name Kristin do my Sisterlock install- 🤦🏽♀️ she was awful to say the least and very unprofessional. I went to her for a couple of more months, but my gut told me to stop going to her. She did not know what she was doing. She did not do the Sisterlocs grid- she messed up my hair- and had the nerve to get upset because I stopped tipping her. In the meantime I was looking for a new sister Loctician ….and I actually reported her to Sisterlock foundation . I have a new lady now , in San Leandro California. She is amazing ! Some of these folks out here do not want to take care of your hair. They only want the money. And her attitude was definitely from the devil.. If you feel it in your gut, please do your research. Do not go to the first person you see! This is my second set of Sisterlocks. Soon I will be doing a channel myself regarding my Sisterlock journey. 😉 be safe out here folks when it comes to your hair!
Hey gurl HEY! I'm from the Bay Area, San Leandro and Hayward too now living in Texas. Much success in your loc journey as I am new in my journey as well. 😂
I had transitioning hair so braids worked for me for the exact reason you stated. I wanted to retain my length! I use bantu knots to get volume. Thanks for an open mind. Enjoy your journey. ⭐💫🌟⭐
Hi! These are great things to know! I agree, it is important to know which loc pattern is right for YOUR hair texture 😊 thanks so much for this video ❤❤❤
The bed music is actually a great feature to this amazing video but the octaves were not adjusted properly and low enough. Right concept improperly executed.
wth? People listen to 3 things at once in tiktok videos all day. The music might be a little dated but it's still calm. Her video was short and concise too, the complete opposite of most diy RUclips videos. People are just stupid.
Never realized you could start with twists. I don’t know my density by I know my texture. It’s extreme coily and coarse and loca easily. The crown is also thin so that tip about thinner locs in that area is helpful.
These are amazing tips!! Thank you! Just started my journey in May and still figuring out this new path. Also, new subscriber and fellow Kenyan as well, Asante!
Sasa!! Thanks am glad I could help! Welcome to the area happy to have you! Congrats on your new journey just enjoy the magic of hair freedom all else will figure itself out!!
I'm so glad I came across this I started mine last month. W twists m e ends have somewhat unraveled but as of last week I'm seeing them starting to loc.i was about to undo them
I am enjoying this video. The info shared about research bias....Guilty. Now that I have Sisterlocks and I am documenting my journey on RUclips, and a Sisterlocks Trainee, I know that the information you are sharing is definitely very good information. I am a #newsubscriber.
Thanks for sharing your video I'm about to start my third set because i was moving to fast the second time.... Big mistake! Low density hair just don't hold certain locs the same....
I just come across this video today july 2024 because i just startmy locs journey so i would really love to watch your videos more so i don't make the wrong decision with my hair
I have multiple combinations of textures so I started with twist. My ends curl up and twist stay in. It's easier to unlock with twist than it is with actual locks< (the knotting and locking method). Plus my hair does look so dry. I'll just stick with the twist 😊
Thank you for this, im 2 months in but my hair is very dry🥲. I've been told not use an products and wash every six weeks. Any tips to help with the dryness ❤?
Well! I was a rule breaker okay am a rule breaker so I would most my scalp with a mixture of water and some essential oils couple of times a week I also have type 4 hair so was not worried about slippage or unraveling although! Hope this helps
Did you ever go through a time where they got really swell im 7 months in and some are bigger than the other and I wanted to know if they would go back down
Hey there! Yes mine did swell and then they condensed and now look good my Locs are never going to be the same size but that’s how I installed them. For a while the ends were thick and this made Retie a hurt but they thinned out on their own! All the best on your journey🤩
@@steaksandlocs2374 omg girl you have no idea in what king of area im leaving i am going to do it on my own no choice lol 😭 i cant afford paying 30euro a leave in conditionner that is supose to cost 8dollar 💀 however thanks i am so excited about begining this jouneyy
Your complexion is gorgeous
oh thanks I appreciate that😊

Your skin is glowing. You look beautiful ❤
As someone who does research for a living AND has locs i ❤ what you said about research bias.
Awesome career 😊

Thank you for this! I’m in the Bay Area as well. Do you mind sharing the info for the loctician? I just started microlocs
Hey gurl HEY! I'm from the Bay Area, San Leandro and Hayward too now living in Texas. Much success in your loc journey as I am new in my journey as well. 😂
I am very particularly on who touches my crown

Thanks Lena!
The music n the back is a distraction 🤦🏾♀️
Duly noted Thanks for the input😍😍
The bed music is actually a great feature to this amazing video but the octaves were not adjusted properly and low enough. Right concept improperly executed.

Music disrupting
VERY. The information is extremely well but it’s hard to hear.
To be honest this is so informative.
thanks for watching 😍

You're so welcome!
i actually crochet my microlocs after having twists for 3 months, works fine for me
Explain
@@Loveit45 Basically I used an extra small crochet needle, sectioned them off, and kept on poking it until it was solid
@@Loveit45 bow im going to coil the roots when i twist because i dont like the interlocking method
Your locs are so beautiful! Definitely valid reasons to reflect, but gorgeous!!!

Good knowledge. But the back ground is louder than you. It's hard to hear your knowledge. Music needs to be on the low volume. Thanks you
I’m taking 3 months to do research cos i jump into things too fast
👋🏽These were very great tips to give out! 👌🏽
Thanks!
Your voice is so calming . What do you think about coils to start ?
I’ve seen ladies start their micro locs with coils i surmise it would work faster install for sure
Thanks for the tips
Any time
Wow, great points!
Thanks for watching!
Never heard anyone sound this technical with hair, feels like trying to understand quantum computing
😂😂😂😂
skincare routine please?

What is the difference between microlocs and dreads?
I love her jheri hair. It's lovely.
Good points
Thanks
Very informative video!!!
Thanks ☺️
Genuine question - are you East African?
Yes 😊
Can someone write the points in the comments please it's 2024 😂
I’m very interested in subscribing but that background music is annoying and distracting. I’ll check back to see if you took it off before I subscribe
I see
Good information
Thanks for watching 😃
THANK YOU

Yes you will I lost so much length people ask me if I cut my hair! However once the shrinkage phase is done the length comes pretty rapidly!
@@steaksandlocs2374 ohh thankssforyour answer do you thinkits a good idea to start my locs on my own there is no loctician in my island
Yes you should watch some videos on grid and if you have some girlfriends that can help with making clean parts even better!
@@steaksandlocs2374 omg girl you have no idea in what king of area im leaving i am going to do it on my own no choice lol 😭 i cant afford paying 30euro a leave in conditionner that is supose to cost 8dollar 💀 however thanks i am so excited about begining this jouneyy
