For tip 1, braid and band during wash day or outside of wash day too?

Update: I've gotten a lot of comments and now I know it's not normal for a loctician to not make sure the rest of your hair is good outside of reties! Y'all I've been bamboozled by these people and I want to fight 😭 since posting this video, I've experienced 2 more locticians and I'm ready to write a book called "Surviving loctician trauma" 😭

How did you comb your locs out? I want to comb mine out for that same reason

If my dry clean doesn’t include wash 🧐 we might have a problem.

How long was you hair when you loc'd them?

I just got mine done today

Literally same with me, my Loctician was doing reties ONLY . I didn’t have a healthy set of sister locks & didn’t even know until I moved states & went to get a consult before my next retie ….. I didn’t have time to comb mine out so I literally cut my locs off 🥴

I’ve got all of the above. Not the frizz but uneven, holes, there’s too small, thinning in certain spots. I just want to do a new set.

Being upset about questions is so weird! You dodged a red flag

It seems most Loctician feel they are doing their client a favour

Please do we have to braid and band before bed or just on wash days?

At what stage should it start to braid and band please, I just started mine now for 4 days ago

Thank you so much for this video... I intend to lock my hair before the end of this year. This was so informative. Thank you ❤

You had a bad loction...how can she not tell you she can see your hair. That is bad practice smh. She did not have to start your locs to give you advice.

I listened to you because I enjoy your grammar and how you express yourself … ok bye bye loctician 1, 2 on to the 3rd. 😊 wishing you well P on my 6 month mark - sisterlocks.. learnt a lot

The dry cleaning story is just dumb. She's just trying to justify what she's doing and that's wrong.

My hands were in my hair when you started with number 5. Its not easy yooh😂

I have 4c hair, and started my locs with braids but they still unraveled.

Looove this video, soooo informative. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for sharing! I was wondering what was the difference between the two.

Thank you for this! I was doing it all wrong

Thank you for your advice. I’m newly loc yeasterday . You should have seen how fast i got up to get my bonet and band my hair.

Wise words❤

I started my journey on Aug 2nd ❤. I mostly do my own reties 🤗

Question: why didn’t you have a loctician start your locs?

I pray you're able to continue your lock journey healthy And aware you're locks beautiful

Check out learning about knotted locks.

Your Locs look lovely! You’ve done a great job!

Beautiful.

Shame on those locticians!

Hand in hair syndrome and lock jealousy, I'm a big big culprit 😭😭😭 4 months into my journey

Don’t add conditioner or oil for the first 6mths when you start your locs you don’t want them to unravel

Less than two months in and I’ve already made 5 of these mistakes 😫😤😱. This video has been really helpful as I now know where I’m going wrong. The loctician I used suggested the two strand twist method for me because I was not 💯 confident that I’ll like my hair in locks as I have feathery 4C hair with low density but high porosity, yeah crazy combo. She initially did gel twists not locked, and I was meant to wear it for 4-6weeks before finally locking, however they started to unravel very quickly and I went back to lock it less than two weeks after. Again this only lasted just under three weeks before some had started to unravel and some strands were breaking off at the tips (due to dryness, she told me not to wash or put any products so my hair was really dry, not sure if this was good advice) and some were thinning out unevenly along the strands. Now I’m going to a different loctician to see how my new locks can be salvaged without combing out and starting all over again 😫

The only great loctician is myself, no loctician has ever satisfied me, they just retit shabily to quickly finish up n grab next client, and true that they don’t care about your hair when they didn’t start it, so needless paying them so much if I won’t even get a great job or a feedback.. I learned to retit by myself and save my money and all the drama at locticians…

Yuh full a too much problems!

As a loctician I hear horror stories and it is true that many will just take the money and just give you your service. However that is solely on the stylist every service should be a conversation of the health and general maintenance of the hair.

I love your looks, they are beautiful. I didn't really catch what the issues were with you asking questions and getting dumped... but good luck on your lock journey.

❤❤❤❤❤

Hey 😊 how many looks do you have

Beautiful locs! My micro twist locs are 19months and there are still a lot of them that have the twist texture in it despite having super coily 4C hair. I actually found that in the beginning I was misting my hair way too often two to three times a week and once I reduced it to once a week and actually let my hair dry out like it needs to i saw much better results. I don't use any products in my hair besides distilled water with essential oils, per my loctitian and others advice. I would advise against steaming them with no braiding, bunching isn't just unsightly it can damage your roots and follicles during reties. I'm happy you're taking your maintenance into your own hands 😊 I wish I could

I hate that you had that experience with those locticians. Thank you for sharing and this video was so helpful. As a DIYer, I’ll keep this all in mind. ❤❤❤

I started my micro locs myself with braids do I need to braid and band my locs?

I think the “grid” is important to stylist because it’s aesthetically pleasing..they can post pics and that’s what gets the views… it’s good for business popping locs and finding their right place isn’t that hard with or without a grid the beginning stages frizz and look a hot mess … I’m glad you’re taking your hair into your own hands… I’m the same way. I’ve started locs with and without grids and sometimes not having a grid is best for the overall health of your loc.. different density’s throughout a head play a factor in something like that as well

Your locs are cute! What's the name of the song at the end of the video?

Your locs are lovely!

I had microlocs for about 2.5 years….i just combined my micros back to traditional locs. Backstory: I had traditional locs for about 15 years prior. My hair grew to about 17-18”. I had length and no volume. I felt that I wanted volume so I cut and got micros. I won’t go into the details but the short story is that the financial investment versus the changing behavior of the loctition was not worth it to me anymore. I gave it up I’m back to traditional locs. I’m loving my babies!!!! I feel better. I’m 4c then banded the bottom with a rubber band until the merge together maybe after my next wash. I thought about reattaching but I spoke with another loctition and she gave her reasons of why she didn’t really care to do it. I agreed. Your video is great! Advice I would give is like you mentioned…. Keep your hand out or your head!!!!!! I’m sooooooooo guilty!

Great job! I didn't have to keep rewinding to understand! Thank you!
