    Big up this man. For anyone seeking a solution that keeps your head looking neat, I have started putting a single row of cornrow braids (middle part for me but whatever works) that I braid along my hair line and tuck behind my ears. Not only does my hair line stay intact and full, but it also shapes the face very nicely almost like you're wearing civic crown (roman crown). 💯 much love

    I Had a flattop fade, curls turned locs.
    I ended up up with a tapered hairline as I would go to the barber up to 3 times in a single week. I quickly learned how essential it is to minimize how frequently you go to the 💈 💈💈
    Currently I have a full head of hair without any tapered hairline/ high top fade.

    I found the cheat code to this. I cut my front locs into bangs like Swae Lee when he had dreads. And I never put my bangs's into my ponytail so they always stay down and never get pulled on. And that way I also hide my tape line so I don't need to get lineups in the front. I just get my sides and back faded when I go to the barber. I'm protecting my hairline and bitches love my bangs 🤣

I started out with a full head of locs in 2012 and with constant retwisting and line ups, I ended up with a pushed back hairline and a high top fade by 2022. It was a tough decision to make but I decided to cut off my locs this June. I’m getting them reattached next month with some extensions to fill my head back up. I learned my lesson and I won’t be making those mistakes again.

    As a barber, I keep the hairline natural. And if any lineup needs tapering. Then I’ll barley go up. I feel it should be no more then an inch thick. Not all the way to the middle of your forehead. Unfortunately I can’t control how far back my previous clients hairlines were cut from previous barbers.

    In hindsight, watching this video now, would’ve been more helpful about four years ago. I was literally doing all of the things he said not to do and because of my ignorance, I lost a lot of locks around my sideburns and nape areas. When I initially had my locks started, I had a full head of lox. Now, I’ve lost about a quarter of my logs primarily in those areas aforementioned. So for those who are on the fence, especially regarding getting lineups, I advise from experience get your re-twist first, then your lineup. Please.

Luckily it didn't get pushed far enough to be noticed. So now I'm good. And I get cut once every 2 to 3 months, I don't care about looking messy for a month or two so I'm good now. Looks good and I don't have to worry about thinning out my locs or losing hair anymore.

      For new folks…How are you able to tell what hair needs cutting/lining and what needs retwisting in your lineup area? Are you maintaining the lineup more regularly so it doesn’t wolf? Also, do you have a hightop?

      @@TPlocks yeah I got a set of Hightop locks but before you cut it I hold my dreads up or put them in a bunch and as I'm combing out my undercut before the cut you should not feel any pulling or tangled hair as your combing away from the part where your dreads start. If you feel any pulling at all its likely your pulling from your locks. And I cut my hair about every 2 or 3 weeks but I've def been going about 2 months sometimes more between each retwist

    dude i came to this conclusion a while ago. fucc line ups. i have semi free form dreads and i have a natural thick and decently straight hair line. I realized i don't constantly need a line up for my hair to look good. and i have been loving not needing to go to a barber. look at models like luka sabbat and lenny kravitz they have long dreads with no taper or lineups, and it looks so good on them. black people are the main ones that focus so heavy on needing a lineup 24/7.

    • @TPlocks
      @TPlocks  Рік тому +1

      I cut my full set off completely actually! That was my set from college and HS. I chose the hightop the second time because of the versatility. My hair is super thick. (95 locs and not even using half my head!😅) When I had a full set, I couldnt wear hats, couldn’t do pineapples or ponytails, it just seemed limiting. Those things wouldn’t prevent me from getting them today but it was definitely my reason for starting em. That and the growing number of folks that gave me the confidence to grow them as hightops. Prior to Killmonger, there weren’t many depictions of hightop lockers in mainstream! Seeing him, dynasty tv, Gunther and all those guys with em, inspired me to try them! Glad I did! Feel like it’s the best of both worlds in one!

      @@TPlocks yea man I'm debating it. I think the high top is more versatile, but i also wear my hair down a lot so I like the way a full set looks when it's down. Also high top requires a little more maintenance in my opinion.

    I honest believe that lineups cause you to lose your line up… if you’re getting a lineup every week then maybe, but every 3/4 weeks shouldn’t cause any issues at all, most men start to lose their hairline by 25+ anyway!

    Becareful ya’ll having your tapered hairline for too long without switching it up can cause traction alopecia. When you taper your hairline your essentially parting it in the front and parting your hair for long periods of time can cause damage.

      Thanks fam! Nah not really! I think my hair is prone to a lot of shrinkage though. I have a tight 4c hair texture mostly! I never really get to see the length until I shower and the weight of the water helps it stretch to its max length.
      After wash day, it’s kept in a bonnet most of the time. When you all see it, it’s usually just coming out the head cover! 😅
