I feel like it’s good for a one time thing to get them started if The roots aren’t locking
What are the products?
You have beautiful thick loc. I'm ready to start my journey.
I’m 2 weeks in and scouring videos about when and how to wash. I’ve been working out and sweating so I think it’s time. Thanks for the video and wish me luck!
How long have you been growing?
You are one beautiful African woman! Keep your dreadlocks miss🍃 love it.
Hi,I've interlocked my locs for a year now, and I'm thinking of switching. What would you do in my situation? 😅
@@zahracompaore1918 go ahead and switch over !
You so cute 🥰🥰
Please help me! I've cut my hair and just leaving it loose to "toughen" it up. It's still thick and curly. Ive subbed.
Your locs look great! I had to give mine a lil trim too. My back locs were wayyyy longer than the rest so I just wanted to even it out a lil bit.
Yassss those who get it, get it! The unevenness was driving me crazy lol thank you !!! 🫶🏾
I want to start my locs so bad but...
I swear i wish i can twist my own locs i been locked for 1 1/2 june will be two years and it so expensive to get my hair twisted $100 something i wanna learn so bad your looks so nice 😍
They're beautiful🤩! Congratulations, I'll be celebrating 3 yrs in Feb 🥳💕
This is off subject but you remind me of CeCe Winans when you have makeup on. You’re beautiful and I love your locs!
Honestly how stunning are you!😍 Thank you for sharing your journey so far. I’m only 3 weeks in and living my hair! I only wish I did it sooner! Stay blessed Queen 🫶🏾✨💥
I have a question (I asked this on another video of yours), how do you maintain your hair between retwists? I know I am doing mine to often, but I am trying to keep my hair neat. And can you go over how to self comb twist the hair? I am so afraid that I will get it caught. You don't use hair clips.....Thanks.
Heyyyy! Great question, I’ll answer this in an upcoming video and show how I self Comb retwist. But in short, I maintain my locs between retwists by simply leaving my hair down most of the time and tying it down at night with a satin scarf!
Thank you for sharing your loc journey. I am starting mine again and I also started with interlocking because of the texture of my hair. I am at the part of your video when you share how often you are retwisting your hair. I have a question, how often are you washing your hair? And then how are you maintaining the look during that time. My hair is growing so fast and I have been washing my hair every two week, but also retwisting at the same time. Do you recommend that? I look forward to your response. Thanks in advance.
thanks for this video!!!
Beautiful ❤
I started my loc journey over. I didn't like the size, I wanted them smaller. I decided to loc my hair about two years ago after I grew it to waist length but due to a medical illness, it became to much to maintain. When I restarted my locs, about six weeks ago, I opt to cut all my hair off and start fresh. That wasn't my initial ideal, I was going to comb them out but once I started, I stopped. I was in the middle of another health crisis and decided to make another covenant with God and part of that agreement was to cut my hair. Going forward, every time I look at my hair or put my hands in it, I will remember my covenant with God. I just didn't know I would love my short hair so much. I never trust anyone hands in my hair, but it is difficult retightening my hair and I don't know what to do, being so short the back is unraveling a lot, but I will figure it all out.
@@TankaVizion2 Thanks, and yes, I did braid those on the back, the back two rolls and I have only had to braid may be a few that came undone.
@@barbarapeller I'm so sorry to hear about your medical issues making your loc journey a challenge. I've had issues with locs unraveling until I decided to do braid locs at the beginning of the locs & finish them with triple strand twists in order for them to stay in. Maybe you could try that method? It would make things a bit more manageable for you & less stressful. Wishing you the best & a much easier journey going forward. Blessings 🙏🏽
They look beautiful! Any regrets? Do you like the sizing?
@@meditationmama70 no regrets! I’m happy I got the parting fixed, I love them now 😍
It's the lyrics, instrumental, & vocals complimenting the visuals of the video so perfectly fuh me Queen!! 🎵🎶🎺🥁🎙️👨🏽🎤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@TankaVizion2 thank you!! 😊
I began my journey on New Years Eve recently...what if I never interlock it and only do retwists..is that okay... Like to never interlock a loc
@@elysiab2453 yes that’s perfectly fine! Tot can start and stick with retwisting only
I’m thinking of getting microlocs soon. Channels like yours are giving me the push to start asap 😊
@@OkaayYall aww thank you!!
You did a really nice job! I know the relief you are feeling after getting your hair where you want it to be!😍🥰☺️❤️ I'm 2 years & 4 months into my Loc journey. I trimmed a good amount 3 times already due & my hair is definitely healthier for it!! #ToMoreHairMyDear 💇🏽♀️
@@TankaVizion2 yes I’m glad I did it and I’m loving how it’s looking now that I cut off those inches. Health over length always 🤗
Love it
looks so healthy.. just curious do your dreads lose colour and look Abit brownish...I am not a fan of dying hair but my dreads may need colour 😩. How would you deal with that?
@@kelvinkgosimokgalo7972 I feel the exposure to the sun has changed its color a bit but it doesn’t bother me. I’ve never my hair so I wouldn’t have any suggestions lol I just leave mine be
Hey i love your locs, how many locs do you have?
@@omphilesito1729 85!
Really appreciate this video love! I am experiencing breakage and I am definitely think it’s linked to my Vitamin D deficiency because Dr told me months ago it was low.
@@CCJones0104 yesss vitamin c can really wreck havoc on your body but it’s so overlooked!
how did you go from interlock to retwist
👍🏽
Just started on Jan 2nd! Your vids have been so helpful…nervous but appreciate your visuals and thoughts!
Only if I didn't cut mines off 😢 I was 2 years in smh. I'm starting mines over for the 3rd time. Love ya hair girl ❤
I meant to say mousse not foam 😂🤣😂🤣
The Nairobi Wrapp it foaming lotion!
What kind of foam spray did your loctician use?
❤
BW wanted to be strong and independent of a Man. Don’t start whining now that you got what you wanted.
10 yrs locd and been interlocking my own for the 10 yrs. I have no thinning or breakage . I love it.
Love when there’s solid balance as sometimes there seems to be a campaign against interlocking. It’s not for everyone. Works well for me living the island life. I do mine myself and I think that makes a world of difference if done right ❤
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Appreciate dis beautiful🥰❤️
love this!
thank you for the tips, i just started loccing my hair 3 months ago and i noticed they started getting thin but im thinking it’s bc i skip spraying it with water like every 2 or 3 days
@@jasmingall3ry yea you don’t have to spray it that often . Less is more!
No homo but you are stunning
😍
Did interlocking my dreads thick was crotchet locking did interlocking 3 months 1st month interlocking
Hey how are you? Love ur locs. So its possible for locs to expand again from interlocking? And how long should you wait b4 a regular retwist from interlocking?
@@charleycharley9641 it can, it’ll vary for sure depending on hair type. I would wait about 4 weeks at least, that’s what I did
@Thecatherinealexandra ok thank you!
Heyy black men shitting on this queen in the comments why don’t you go to a video discussing how you all can fix your own problems like how 1/3 of you are felons, and 50% can’t read above the 4th grade level. Thank ya.
wish I could’ve put that nicely, but the gaslighting in these comments is actually triggering me tf
Imam go get some of her new locs products tommrow before work gotta try this in 3 years loced ❤🎉😊
@@ronicasmith-lz3mk I hope you like it!!
Very helpful, I'm 2.5 years locing and always did retwisting, and then I decided to interlock. Now I want to revert back to retwisting and I see now from your video that I would be comfortable in doing so. It has been 3 months and this will also be my first attempt to do my locs on my own. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thank you!
@@juliecampbell1932 yes I’m so happy I switched over to retwisting my hair has been thriving since !
