Do you have semi freeform locs or are you thinking about starting semi freeform locs?
I have semi free forms
@@leoneforte444 I don’t know many people who use that method! Very interesting. Thank you for sharing 💚
@@leoneforte444 Thank you! I’m always looking at my congos. It’s fun to watch how they evolve over time
Just gorgeous! I love your minimalist approach. Everyone should watch this video. We really don’t need to be doing the most. Our locs know what they need to do. New subscriber here. I am on my 3rd set of locs in 23 years. This is the first set I have started myself. I free-parted and interlocked, and that’s it. No retwisting, no gels or oils or conditioners. This is my absolute favorite set. Your approach is, hands down the most sensible, practical, organic, and beautiful.
Thank you! This is my second and I agree with you that our locs definitely know what they need. They thrive with basic nutrients and little too no manipulation. Nice to see someone else share a similar journey 💚
I started my fully freeform loc journey in 2020 March. So you can just imagine how hectic and frustrating it's been. However, 2 years in I have learnt to fall in love with my hair and loving the results so far. Lots of wicks and congos to deal with. Love your journey and your videos❤️
The journey teaches us so many things! Congrats on 2 years, and thank you lots 😁
I didn’t even notice as of may 19 I’ve been two months into my semi-freeform journey.
Dope locs you got.
Time flies, huh? And thank you :)
Love your easy no fuss style 👍🏽. I cut my locs and I'm restarting after 10 years of locs. Praying to start locing again in 3 days time. This time I'll go proper semi free form starting with the 2 strand twists making sure each loc has a solid base. I want to keep it simple. There's so much unnecessary info out there u could get real confused 😕 and even damage your locs
thank you and good luck on your next loc journey! hopefully it’ll be healthier this time around knowing what you know now 🙏🏽
@@AmberLoryn Thx I appreciate your encouragement
You are incredibly gorgeous! Your loss are so healthy & your journey is inspiring for my next portion of my loc journey. I'm growing in my sides & back from high top fade lots after almost 6 years.
See, I really needed this. I'm feelin' a lot better about my loc journey, now. Thanks for this.
Your loc journey Is beautiful 😍
thank you ✨✨
I think I hear it’s beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us.
I would retwist because of the opinions of others. Then I realized “it’s my head of hair “ I haven’t been retwisting for past seven or eight months and I love it.
My biggest concern is drying time, However I do rinse. I do not use many products (Just a very tiny bit all over my whole length after showering and not every day or even every week.) Just water.
My scalp is less itchy and has low/no smell. I also drink a lot of water.
You are magnificent in every way that I can see, thank you once more for sharing with us.
Your hair is pretty fire bruh. I'm nearly 1 year in and my length is about 6 inches
Thank you! That's really good progress. I'm sure you look back at your old pics and wonder when you got this far!
I love your hair and your style very unique very different!!
Your hair is so fire
Thank you 🙏🏽
You have inspired me. Thank you, Sending you much love
Hey , I recently decided tp restart after having mines for 3-4 yrs. I’m takin this approach.
i,love your locs
thank you!
aint nothin mini about your fro when you started tho thats a solid 4 inches of hair, everytime i thnk somebody started w short short hair they always shxttt on me smh >.
sponging rn my arm hurt
i have a question i have a hightop can u walk me throught ur exact jounery pls
Hello, can I ask.. do you 'pop' your locs at the roots? Or do you just leave the roots to do their own thing? I'm worried that one half of my head will have locs marrying and the other won't, so I'll look uneven.
And help welcome.
Thanks
hey! i didn’t pop my locs at all in the beginning. that’s why a lot of them combined. if you don’t want them to combine then you can separate them. i started to pop them after they matured because it’s fun though lol 😅
@@AmberLoryn thank you. I'm definitely going to try the semi free form route.
How often do you oil your locs
rarely. once a month usually. i don’t like using oil because i don’t like having oil on my face and hands. but if you like using oil, once a week on your scalp is fine or every time you wash
also when did you stop using the sponge
I only used the sponge once to start them off
hey I have a question. did you separate your locs along the way like after a certain amount of months of them combining did you just separate them and let the new growth lock up on its own?
Hey, I didn’t separate my locs. I let them combine as they wanted. After a while, they stopped combining
Hello amber your locs are lovely....I'm 10 months lock'd and watching your hairs I wanna know if you have bleached/dyed your hairs or did they discolour naturally? If the latter, can you explain how do they discolour naturally...!!!
thank you! my hair has always been naturally light but being out in the sun and swimming in pools/the ocean lightens it up even more
You Got Beautiful hair ... I have interlock 3 times and I wanna go the semi free form what your advice
Thank you! Once you stop manipulating your locs, they will grow freely. No retwisting or interlocking. That’s all there is to it :)
So cool from karen ❤️ your style
💚💚
How do you keep your new growth from turning into a huge fro while your not re twisting yours still looks low but a lot of times when I go a while with out re twisting it becomes a small Afro
I rinse my hair almost daily. When your hair gets wet it tangles up more and more. So my new growth locs up fast before its able to get long. Hope that makes sense!
Definitely & one more question then I’m done
I’ve been growing my locs for 4 years now & they are pretty skinny compared to how I want them I was thinking about going to a stylist to get them combined or what do you suggest ?
I’d recommend that. Since you’re 4 years in they won’t combine as easily as they would if they were less mature. A stylist might be able to combine them for you in a way that keeps them together.
I got starter locs a week ago, should i just get a retwist at all?
I just started growing my hair. I'm not to the point of even twisting yet. Do you have any tips on just getting your hair to grow faster?
Keep it clean by washing it when you feel like it’s dirty, or once a month. I use black soap because it cleans very well and has oils that are nourishing. Afterwards, use an oil like olive oil or Jamaican Black castor oil on your roots to give your hair nutrients. Less products will do a surprisingly good job of letting your locs do their thing.
@@AmberLoryn Thank you! I appreciate the help! Have a great day :)
Would you recommend using the sponge on a mini fro start my journey?
100% it’s easy and if you sponge all the way to the root, you won’t have to worry much about them unraveling while you wash it
@@AmberLoryn thanks! I’m looking forward to starting my journey 🙏🏿
Love your hair!! How long before the root locs up? I am 4c and my hair has locd 3/4 of the way up in 5 months
Thank you! Honestly, the roots will never fully loc up when you have freeform locs. It takes a few month for your hair to loc and it takes a few months for your hair to grow a few inches. So by the time your current roots loc, you'll have new roots lol but seeing maturity in your locs after 5 months is good. They are doing just fine!
@@AmberLoryn thanks Amber; makes sense!!!
should i keep brushing my locs? i been brushing them for a while now and idk if it will help with my semi freeform journey. im 2 months without a retwist and im on my journey now.
im 1 year and 1 month with my locs btw
I’ve personally never brushed my locs before. To me, semi freeform is about low manipulation, and I haven’t had any issues with my hair locking up or staying clean since starting them. But if you feel like brushing has been a great benefit for your locs, then I’d say keep that routine!
brushes are made to detangle hair, so if you're trying to tangle & lock your hair then eventually your locs will most likely begin to thin if you keep brushing them.
Can You start free form locs on fine hair ?
Yes, of course! Freeform locs just require that you allow them to tangle up and oftentimes create their own parts. If your hair is fine it may be good that they create larger parts for strength
Those are extensions u can’t fool me
😅😂
@@AmberLoryn u a boy or girl the hell
