    I love how educated she is with locs. However I only use water on my locs not all that extra. I’ve used water from the day one. And our texture is similar. I started my locs with two strand twist and it’s been 9 months

    Thank you so much for this video. I am 10 months into my sl journey and I needed that confirmation on the itchy scalp and especially the frizz. I'm having the hardest time getting used to the frizz, but now that I know it really is normal, maybe I can calm down. Lol.

    Very informative video! I am 6 weeks into my micro loc journey, and I’m loving it! Did she say that you shouldn’t moisturize your starter locs??? I oil my scalp 3 times weekly, and I use distilled water, aloe Vera juice and rose water in my spray bottle. Is that something I should stop??

    •  2 роки тому +4

      Great question! Now, I see a lot of UA-camrs moisture their locs regularly. What she has suggested for me is to wait until they are fully mature because moisturizers slow down that process. I wash and moisturize my hair once a week. My locs don’t feel dry at all. I am also maintaining the integrity of the loc. I honestly don’t think there is one way to treat starter locs so if you haven’t seen any unraveling or bunching then your method might also be fine ❤️

      @RootedInspirationsByVee 2 роки тому +2

      I'm in Memphis as well and looking for a loctician. I have just been afraid of not finding someone who won't take my hair out, in it just for the money, and not the health of their client's hair. So, if you don't mind me asking, was there any particular reason you stopped going to Daphne?

    How is interlock different from a re tie?

  • @dammyoduko4131
    @dammyoduko4131 6 місяців тому

    Hey! Thank you for this!
    I wanted to ask, what point rotation is she using and why? Is it bad to do a 2-point rotation over a 4-point rotation?

    •  6 місяців тому +1

      You are so welcome! I get the 2 point rotation! There is no “bad” rotation just how you want your locs to look ❤️ you can always change it

    • @dammyoduko4131
      @dammyoduko4131 6 місяців тому +1

      Thank you! I just installed my starter locs and I have been thinking about whether I want to start interlocking myself but I was told that if we do not do a 4-point rotation, the locs would not be fully formed. I personally do not want to attempt doing 4-point rotation on my head but I was scared to start interlocking if it could give a different result.
      What rotation does your loctician do for your hair? And if she has reasons behind this, I would love to hear them! @

    •  6 місяців тому +2

      So she does a 2 point rotation. To me, it makes the locs look thicker. Check out different videos from others and see which one you like best

  • @hersheybang
    @hersheybang 2 роки тому

    Thanks for this video! She didn't answer the 2nd part to the question about how often to wash the locs...

    •  2 роки тому +2

      So from my experience, when I first started, I waited 5 weeks before I washed my locs. Although I was cleansing my scalp (with witch hazel at the time), I waited to wash until my follow up appointment post-established locs. Now, I wash my locs once a week but on average, people do every two weeks depending on their hair and scalp needs!

      @ well, I really want to start my locs with braids. I don't want to twist or coil my hair so that I wouldn't have to deal with unravelling or bunching. My hair won't handle interlocking from scratch either. Do you think with braidlocs, my hair will thicken up eventually?

    •  Рік тому +2

      @@marrieabba3607 so I started mine with two strand twists so I can’t really say how braidlocs would turn out. I heard they take forever to mature. I would say watch some videos from UA-camrs who did them to get a better idea of what to expect.
