Was this helpful to you?
Yep, very helpful close up view.
Yes Are you going thru the middle of loc or staying more on the outer sides?
Yes!! Your videos are always super helpful to me!! Your channel is probably one of the biggest reasons why I still have my locs and didn’t give up on them while they’re still in the bad baby phase. Almost 7 months now, and they are quite the bad babies now, more like toddlers coming out of the terrible twos 😂😂 thanks for all your up close tutorials like this!! They’re the best! (I also don’t like tight roots either)
Easiest vid I have watch so far 👍. I have small thin beads, what best size needle/hook? Iv bought 3 but stuggle. Help me
What if I hear ripping while pulling the hairs in?
Liza this video was a game changer! I have had my dreads for 2 years and have tried unsuccessfully to do my own maintenance. I had a maintenance scheduled with my loctician in Arkansas, but with this crisis my appointment was postponed. After 7 months of growth I needed to try again. This video made my maintenance SUCCESSFUL!! It took me a total of 8 hours split into 2 day but I have happy dreads again! Thank you so much for your videos and sharing your beautiful smile and happy self with us!
Oh doll this makes me so happy! Yay!!! I am so glad it was helpful to you and that your locs are happy again!!! Yay you!!!! And thank you so much for sharing with me!!!
If I had a dollar for every one of your videos I have saved in my ‘loc stuff’ playlist. Your channel is such a blessing!!! Also, thanks for mentioning the spiralocks. I got mine in, and omg they’re lovely. I really like the look of them so much!! Thanks for all you do! 💜
Oh doll thank you so much for this sweet note!! I’m thrilled and touched more than you know!!! Thank YOU! 💕🙏🏻
Liza Jayne your channel is most definitely a blessing! You’re so welcome! I’m so glad I found your channel in the beginning of this journey. 💜
It was the best seeing your example of maintenance on self. The best
I am using henna to dye some blond extension * human hair * and looking great -- Rainbow henna is pure btw
I like the look of doing it your self look -- its natural -- done with love and self time
Thank you so much!!
I love your channel. And your locks are amazing. I agree over crocheting is not ideal for your dreadlocks and makes them weak. Great advice. Great video !
Ahhhhh thank you so much doll!!! I appreciate your support so much!! 💕💕💕
Thank you, I'm kind of like you with the roots and the fuzzy locs. I usually do maintnence only once a month. I do like them loosey goosey 😊
It just feels and looks so much better in my opinion! Thank you for watching!!! ❤️
ThanQ for shairing another informative vid Liza Jayne. I went to the hairdressers weekly for many years then every two weeks. After 13 years my roots started thinning out and so I began freeforming in late 2019. Hairdressers never said it was being overdone. Now I know.
Oh wow, yeah that was a lot on your poor little roots! Good for you taking a break on that!!
I have only just came across your videos and I love them, your like my new fairy loc mother. Not only that you act look the spitting image of my actual mom which is super crazy but really cool. X
Thnx needed This because corona virus cant go outside
Same girl same! Glad it helped!!
Me stuck in lockdown wanting dreadlocks once my hair grows long enough for them. Also learning how to crochet soon .
Your style is so different from I have have seen, and seems so much easier. I will definitely give this a whirl. You just make it look so easy. I know in time I will also. I have a hard time using the crochet hook with the "door" Iam sure its all matter of personal preference . Thank you for yet another wonderful and informative video! hugs from Indie!
Oh yay! It will get easier with practice!!! Thank you so much!!! I am so happy they are helpful!!!!
I do my own bc I'm way soft headed, hate tight new growth. Honestly all I like to do is keep them separated.
Good video! 🙏
Thank you so much!! Loose roots are the bestest!! 💕💕💕
I have tried so many times to do my own locks I just cant,(some i can) i did get maintenance for the first time in two years tho, and she was great and not to painful hahah
Perfect!!! It’s so nice when they make it comfortable!!
Yayyy, thanks Liza. Im gonna give it a try.
Awesome!! You got this girl! It just takes practice!!
I had no choice due to the length of my hair but to go tighter but as it grows this what I am planning on doing -- I did mine maybe cigarette thing but as it grows I can add to them hopefully ---
Mine started that tiny too!
I've never seen anyone use a latch hook like that...cool. Do you also use crochet needles or just hook
Very informative! What latch hook needle do you use? I only have a regular crochet hook but I really wanna try the latch
Hi Liza! Very helpful video. Hopefully you’ll still see a new comment. I was wondering if you could show how to deal with extreme lumps and loops as seen on fledgling locks to stop them from thickening up so much in spots as they mature? I tried to make my locks pencil size but some of them are shrinking up much thicker in a way I don’t like.
Subscribed!!!
I contacted a loctician because I'm wanting to start my locs journey. My hair is to my shoulders and she recommended that I wait to let me hair grow out because obviously the length shrinks and then I asked about adding extensions and she didn't recommended doing them on starter locs and wait until they are mature enough to stay which makes sense but I watched your journey video at ghe beginning and you did them rite off the bat! What do you recommend I do?? My hair is not thin but it is soft and naturally straight.
I don’t have extensions personally but I have seen many ppl who add extensions as soon as they get them. So based on seeing other videos and post I think it’s ok BUT AGAIN I don’t have them. Just figured I would put my silly 2 cents in!!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Oh yay! I am so glad!!!
Thank you so much❤️❤️
Can you do this method on synthetic dreads too?
I just did my own locs and found that one stuck out too much, so interlocked it a little and it made it a little too tight to my scalp. I crocheted it into place so I don't know how to fix it other than growing it out
So helpful!!
Thank you!!! Yay!!! 💕🙏🏻
I have white hairs throughout my hair & getting my dreadlocks done soon I hope 🙏🏼 how can I go about dying my hair? Should I just dye my hair (professionally) before getting my dreadlocks done? Just worried about getting my roots touched up after (if they’ll know how to dye my roots with Dreadlocks)
I’m worried about that. Also wanted some ideas on how to go about that ... with being a brunette & white hairs peekabooing throughout my hair lol what would be best to do? 🤷🏻♀️ idk if that makes sense.
Anyway love all your videos you’re an absolute delight to watch, calming therapeutic voice & sun shining smile .... Thank You 🌻
Oh thank you so much doll!! That means the world!!! My biggest advice is know what you want to upkeep! I personally think grey locs are some of the prettiest locs and can’t wait for my own! Up keep will be hard and you will want to make sure you have someone that is willing to work on locs or you are willing to keep doing your roots!!! Hope that helps a bit!
Eli, I have lots and lots of grays that I keep colored. I also have partial dreads (41) and loose hair around my face to the crown of head. I color my loose hair normally, but every 3-4 months I give my dread roots a color fill. Its a bit more complicated and time consuming but I have not relinquished myself to going totally gray. I would go in to have locs installed with freshly colored hair. And ask your loctician if they color roots. If not I have found beauticians who are willing to take the time to color loc roots. Hope this helps and you will totally love the dreadlock life!
When would you use the interlocking method? Or can you just crochet the new growth? My loctician told me to inter lock every 6 weeks or so until I see her for maintenance but I'd rather learn to do it myself. Thanks for this video super helpful!!!
Doll, I never would on my Caucasian hair. It just causes so many problems for us. (I’m not sure if you have natural kinky hair or not?) Breakage, mold, holes, etc… I suggest the crochet every couple months because we can over do it. Hope that helps!!!! And my pleasure ❤️
@@LizaLocs thank you so much, I have fine straight hair myself so I'll keep that in mind and only do the crochet method every few months when needed. Light and love xoxo
I love your dreadlocks. Very informative video. Thank you!
I have a question; is it true that crochet needles can damage your hair?
Thank you so much! You CAN overdo the needle. Some people become obsessed with trying to bring in all the little hairs and it ends up thinning the hair. But done with time and care, they hook is wonderful!
@@LizaLocs thanks for replying. Also, would it be ok if I wash my new dreads if I got them done five days ago? Because my scalp is starting to itch a lot.
Need video on how to resection. My hair is thinning at the hairline because the dreads are not sectioned correctly. All of my dreads are healthy EXCEPT the top & front which are 10-11. I took off my extensions because they are pulling and its thinning more & mire, dreads cant grow right. $2000 i paid & i have 56 dreads, 10 with no extensions & 46 beautiful. I dont know what to do. How do i resection without taking them all out in the top/front? Im wearing hats, scarfa daily to cover. Help me! I need new extensions as my 46 are disintegrating from a year & a half. I paid total $2800 & im hiding in my house out of embarrassment. I dont know what to do. I dont trust anyone now BUT dod write Eliza a message to see if she would do my hair. Its dark blonde/light brown after growing. I dont dye except roots. I need to get it back to blonde but dont know what to do.
When you’re doing the mid to end of your locs are you still rotating? It was hard to tell like you were doing at the root.
I got some locks done about a week ago and there's a couple that have begun to really release a lot of hair all the way down the lock (about 6 inches long) . Should I just let it be a keep on with my rolling habit or should I try to use a hook to bring them back in a bit?
I've just had extensions put in the ends are dry and very wispy how can I smooth them out thanks
What shampoo do you recommend? I am so sick of every shampoo smelling like eucalyptus, TG oil patchouly peppermint. I don’t mind clarifying once in a while but I don’t feel as every shampoo that I have to smell like tea tree oil lol
I use Dollylocks now and love it. The bar and the liquid are great! Use my code LIZALOCS to save 10%.
The choices of fragrances are great!
Nice video!
Though, i can't gelp but asking is that Starbucks cup a statement, a paid ad or just nonsense?
💗
❤❤❤
watching this cause i’m broke and can’t afford to get someone to do my hair for me
You can do it!
How often should you have maintenance done? I had my locks installed two weeks ago, but my hair grows so fast the roots are really loose already.
That is really personal choice! For me I’m done with going to someone. I just prefer not sitting in a chair for hours, but for some they like them to look very professional so the typical time is every 2-3 months. 💕
@@LizaLocs I wish I could show you a photo lol my hair has grown so much I've nearly half an inch of regrowth at my roots. 🙈 My hair grows around 8 inches a year. I'm going to have to do something soon as I doubt I'll get to my loctician for a few months now. 😬 Thank you though. This video was really helpful.
that is a latch hook, not a crochet hook...
