This style eats cus of the hair just covering every nook and cranny, it looks great.
@@lelolanga9074 thanks 😊
CUTE STYLE!!🤎 Thanks for sharing, you are def on to something here!! I'm a year into my locs, maybe the parting is what's knows as "traditional" medium sized locs. I maintenance through interlocking, works really well for me (gym and sports active). I'm all about that less is more let it "do what it do" life. 3-4 retightenings a year is the goal with it maybe even getting to fewer. I like the full look, fro @ the roots, not the visible parts, scalp-showing look. I'll let the maturity of my locs guide how few retightenings I can do. While I appreciate the availability of online resources, there are certainly overly complicated "rules" out there.
@@youheard4052 thank you!! I was the same way with my interlocs. By year 3 I was retightening only 2x a year. I think interlocking is amazing for people who are very active. And yes I agree! I enjoy researching and learning from others but it all just comes down to what’s best for you bc really there are no rules
Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Your hair is simply beautiful💚
@@yvetteboonecreates thank you ❤️
I love this. Its been hard not washing my hair until time for retwist so i quit that process because my texture is so soft. ..like cotton that it unravels and feels like a waste of $125. I keep them clean and moisturized by misting with alkalized water glycerin and pure aloe gel
@@tammiehughes4009 thanks :) yea I feel you on the waste of money lol. Thanks for sharing your routine too 🙌🏼
Cute palmtree...😆 will try and see if mine can do that, I am almost at 6monts locd...(21) of Aug. And I don't plan on ever retwisting...😍😄
@@goldennkem thank you! Enjoy the journey 🙌🏼✨
Am a new subby and am already addicted to your channel becoz I also got thick locs and I love what am seeing
@@CapitalMtv wow 🥹 thank you! Glad you found my channel! ❤️
I’m 8 months in my semi Freeform journey and I notice my locs get thicker and feel better when I’m not retwisting and washing my hair weekly to every 14 days with minimum oil but family and friends keep getting in my ear about retwisting also I don’t wanna separate I want the congos
@@Akeem2real96 that’s amazing don’t let anyone change your mind! And show your friends and fam videos like this when they try to get you to retwist lol
Yes yes yes🙌🏾 love this video
@@xo_ramoni thank you!! and thanks so much for watching 🫶🏼🫶🏼
How do I stop my locs in the back of my head from bending and become straight ?
Bythw your next video should be different styles on thick locs
I don’t style my locs much, but there are a few styles I like and I do plan on making a vid ☺️
@@isisrises looking forward
I hate retwisting my locs
@@eleanorgoldstine7098 lol why? I’m not a fan either per this video 😂
If I don't do a light retwist (like turning the root) my hair will grow out and the end will loc and the root will be open :/ So I guess I do a very gentle retwist
@@2joie thanks for watching! Do you think your roots would loc eventually even if it took like 8 months to a year lol? Locs usually loc at the ends and middles first leaving the roots loose. My roots don’t loc up. I usually have about 1-2 inches of hair that hasn’t locd up yet, but my hair strands tend to stick together easily so they don’t grow outside my locs much. Since your hair grows outside your locs it makes sense how doing a gentle retwist helps your loose hairs stay together. Thanks for sharing your experience too! 😊
@@isisrises I am on my second set of locs. This time I started them with two strand twist and I think this method works better for my hair. I have noticed that the roots stay twisted better even though they are not locked yet. I should probably wash very gently in order to keep them in tact. Thanks for the information
Hey queen I love the thickness of your locs. Please, I'm considering interlocking... I will like to know if interlocking will stop my hair from thickening over time or I should stick to retwisting? I just started mine and I have 66. Any suitable guidance will be deeply appreciated.
@@EmpressDPhoenix hey 👋🏼 based on my experience, my interlocs did thicken up a bit over time but yes overall interlocking does limit how thick your locs can get as opposed as to retwist
Thanks! Good info.
@@MyUrbanMuse-xu6rx thanks for watching 💞
Great video, beautiful locs. thanks for sharing your tips. Do you recommend brushing your locs? thnks
@@lindsaymoto9277 thank you! I brush my locs all the time and my locs love it so yes I do recommend!
Sorry I’m lost 😞 so what about the hair that’s lose stains when it’s time after wash
@@lovematters77 they will make their way into the locs over time if you separate your roots regularly or do twist or braids. This is just what some ppl do if they don’t retwist often or at all.
@@isisrisescan u explain what you mean when you say twist or braids? Cause I’m in my 6th week and it’s so frizzy and all these loose hairs coming out I’m ready to take my locs out they look awful
@@kellykellssz I show what I do in this video: ua-cam.com/video/7NC26iGFFYI/v-deo.htmlsi=g7_aPmErtZMKY7Zg
Basically separate the roots so the loose hairs are with the right loc/section and then just 2 strand without retwisting. Hope that makes sense!
Hey Love, how would you have navigated semi free forming with your first set? We have similar textures ( I think ?) medium/normal density, fine strands, kinda spongy etc. but I have smaller locs. I tried semi free forming back in the spring and I think I was getting breakage around the roots that gives the allusion of growing away from the loc (but really it was just hairs breaking). I’m considering combing to make them thinker to combat this, but I still need to learn to crochet lol
@@queenali91 Hey 👋🏼 it’s hard to say but depending on how small your locs are it could be beneficial to combine. In the last year with my first set I kind of did semi free-form bc I only retightened 2x. I would just separate my roots at least once every 2 weeks. I didn’t do anything much different than I do now honestly
@@isisrises I gotcha. I’m going to keep expanding see how long I can go!

How often should you do retwist
I was washing & twisting every three weeks
I stop retwisting every three in now it every six week
I do wet my hair when showering what kind of shampoo should I wash my locks with
It really just depends on your hair type and lifestyle. I talk about how often I retwisted in the first 2 years in this video: ua-cam.com/video/SmI1HYWkgQw/v-deo.htmlsi=PekOyN9QX3HsL89v
I love to use a clarifying shampoo. Thanks for watching!
@@isisrises thx u so much for Replying to my question . I appreciate your time in responds . Looking for a shampoo
How many years have you had your locs?
@@chinayoung3499 2 years
How long do you go without a retwist?
@@chinayoung3499 before I made the decision to stop retwisting I would go 2-3 months in the 1st year and 3-4 months in the 2nd year
Love how healthy & thick your locs are. That style is real cool 2. Cant wait til i can do that. What's your IG?
@@joshuamiddlebrooks I just got back on IG @electraroots
