      Same here. I had a bad breakage from not giving my hair any type of moisture. My 1st consultant said it was okay to swim as long as I braid and band my new one said hell no.

    I'm 2 years in myself! You are soooo right...Just leave your locs alone! I don't any styles, no twist, no pin up's, just mist, oil my scalp and thats it!❤

      This is the reason why I want locs now. To leave my hair alone. I have done my own hair since I was a teenager and I have two kids now and no time to do styles that require daily styling. I need a style that needs no daily work 😂😂 I was going to go straight natural but the weather is so unreliable.

    Your video was one of the ones I saw before getting my microlocs. I will be 6 months loc'd next week.🎉 I love it, and honestly, I wish I did it sooner.

    Thank you for the reminders. Not putting anything in my hair either. My scalp was really itchy so I used aloe Vera oil ONLY on the scalp and it relieved me.

    I had my mircolocs installed. As of today, they're 7 weeks old. I'm really enjoying the freedom and they're so cute! I have to stop running my finger through and twirling them lol.

  • @copticqueen9930
    @copticqueen9930 3 месяца назад +3

    This has been so informative. Thank you!!! I have installed my micro locs with extensions on my 3c hair (basically micro braids) I will avoid washing for at least 6weeks. I just don’t know whether to interlock or twist the roots to retie.

    For the daily rose water/jojoba oil spray, do you spray just the scalp or both scalp and hair? I am only 1 week in and have a history of extremely dry scalp and skin.

  • @Timenowistoact
    @Timenowistoact 11 месяцев назад +2

    I wear scarfs all day. My hair still looks brand new I did my first retie 4 eels in. I don’t want to touch it at all 😅

    I don’t find braiding and banding a pain. I have to wash my hair often because of my activities. I also do my own retightening at 6 weeks.

      I will talk about this in my next microlocs update but my loctician did the combining.

    I’m in my 5th month and washing more often. I like in Abuja and the heat has been crazy. With power outages there’s a lot of sweating on my scalp especially when the inverter goes off and air conditioners shut down. I wonder if your wash routine may have been different if you lived in a hot place. Like if you spent more time in Lagos do you think it would have been the same wash routine for you?

    • @theyknittoo2360
      @theyknittoo2360 9 месяцев назад

      How long did you go before your first wash? I workout and also teach/work around kids (aka "germs") and really can't imagine not washing my hair for 10 weeks!! I need to know the exact process for washing because, yeah - that's nit gonna happen. . .

  • @dynamiss12
    @dynamiss12 Год назад +7

    Great video. It's just interesting that you suggest pain pills. My installation process was actually one of the most relaxing/painless salon experiences I've ever had. LOL. I guess everyone's experiences are different.

    I’m on the fence about getting micro locs. I’ve had sister locs before, but I had a bad experience with them. I honestly missed them, but I think if I started with a different method, it would be better for me

    Kudos! Your videos are quite enlightening. pls did u apply methylated spirit for scalp cleaning at the early phase of your journey? I started my microlocs and about 5weeks gone and due for a retie but my lotician said i should not wash my hair yet and should cleanse my scalp with methylated spirit but i cant bring myself to doing this cus of the drying effect of alcohol. Kindly advise!

    • @Ifeyinwa

      I use seabreeze in the beginning through my itching period. Now I just use water if my water feel dry. Its been 2 years sinced I have been sisterlocked and I do not put anything on my scalp(oil, etc)

  • @lorethajohnson8140

    I’m 6 days in but my scalp is on fire! I want to wash it so bad. What tips do you have for someone with scalp psoriasis?

    • @sdlaws213
      @sdlaws213 2 месяца назад

      The same thing happened to me my first week. Buy some Nizoral Shampoo. Then braid and band you hair. Wash and rinse very gently gently. Keep it banded and let it completely air dry. After that, put light oil on the scalp only. This helped me tremendously!

  • @mandyvidembozie8779

    My installation was excruciatingly painful. Probably because there were four locticians on my hair at a time and each was tugging in a different direction

    @jahmaiholland6420 2 месяца назад

    This is one opinion but please if you’re considering locs do your research and talk around to experienced locticians. I had locs 3years and you’re not supposed to deprive it of water/moisture , the water actually encourages the locing process because it encourages shrinkage/tangles
