I like the content of this video. My only minor criticism is that you talk about not focusing on vanity. It's very easy to do that when you meet all the black beautiful standards. You are pretty, nice body, with long natural hair. You don't even need to wear any makeup and have perfect skin. I appreciate your videos overall. Take care.
I found out after trial and error with mists and oils that, putting nothing at all in my hair whatsoever is actually the best thing to do. My hair is naturally very puffy like yours but super thin🤞🏾
I've been using less oil lately and I must admit I'm noticing a difference. For me, I mainly use oils now when I have a lot of new growth. My new growth love the oils but my locs can go without for a while.
I dip my hair in oil but then again before my hair was locked it was super dry it would stick straight up.. like one time I turned my head to fast and wacked myself in the face and if they dry that mess hurts 🤕
Im full free form. five years plus now, went for a retwist like middle of year three because of family pressure. five minutes in i made them stop because i couldnt stomach the idea of another person manipulating my hair.
I stopped retwisting last year, I'm semi freeform... my hair is fine, so it makes my hair thicker by not retwisting... and it used to take hours!! no time for that!!
@Elisa’s Evolution I am the very same with you my hair is fine I am semi freeform and that retwisting of my locs was doing more damage than good my hair was getting more finer and not healthy but since I stopped retwisting in May my locs are getting to be on the thicker side which I love and hey I hear you on the hours it takes aint nobody got time for that😁
Heyyy new subscriber here and you gain me when u said u have about 72 locs and i do as well and been Thinkin of semi free form. I saw another video of yours reason why you would wanna semi free form and you was hitting every point of why i would wanna semi Thankyou glad i found your channel. Stay Blessed

Chlorine is a gas which will evaporate from tap water if you put it in a container and leave the cap slightly untwisted so that the gas can escape. Fluorine, however, will not evaporate in this manner since it is an ion and not a gas. Overnight up to 24 hours for the gas of chlorine to evaporate. Fluorine will not evaporate from water but evaporates with the water. Fluorine's effect on the hair in terms of drying it is the result of drinking the water and not really from spraying it on the hair. Just a tip in case you find yourself without distilled water and need to use tap water before you can get to a supply of distilled water. By the way, your locs are gorgeous.
New to the freeform journey I currently have a fro and some lil twists naturally, should I retwist first once before I freeform, or keep it Afro texture and freeform from there?? Also I have LOW P hair?? Feedback from anyone is welcomed thanks!!
Welcome to the loc journey! And its your decision. Effects of starting with a retwist would be having the hair more uniform and keeping the afro texture would result in it looking the most natural as possible. In my opinion, freeform tends to loc faster because less manipulation All in all, its based on the look and maintenance you want
Great vid help put some things into prospective for me, i Just got a question , do you use your Rose water when you use the aloe vera mist ? just asking because they are both water and would be putting too much water in your hair or do you use the mist on really dry days. I also like the As i am JBCO oil water is good since its water based and other stuff in it that you mentioned that you like to use maybe give it a try
I don't use both the aloe mist and the rose water at the same time. I use the rosewater sparingly throughout the week and maybe on Wash Day to air dry my locs. But i use the aloe mist more often throughout the week on my hair and scalp and for me, it gives more moisture than the rosewater
@@holisticflo ya ok, do you also store your Aloe juice/mist in the fridge, don’t know if you have to for FreeTheroots one your using, sent them a message just waiting for a response from them
It simply means I don't wear a shower cap when taking a shower. My hair may get a little wet when washing my face, but my hair is low porosity so it dries up quickly
Thank you! And the song is levitating and the artist is invention. So i just sped up the song and put some vocals behind it to avoid copy-write claim 🙂

Thanks fir the tip! For me and other viewers of the video 🙌🏾
@@holisticflo You're welcome. 😊
you and your hair are beautiful. i retwist my locs once a year, not sure it qualifies as semi-freeform since i still retwist 😅
Thank you, and yes it does!
My hair grows 7-9 in a year I measure once after getting a full buzz cut
🙌🏾
They are so beautiful as well
Thank you!
I'm 9 months into my loc journey and I need a loctition
Definitely reach out to others in the loc community with loctitions in your area. You can probably find some through IG hashtags
@@holisticfloI will, thank you

Grocery bag from Walmart osh me gosh lol 😂
😂💀
Nice video. I am with you on all of the points except the shower cap. If I put my hair up, I can swing it.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the content 🙌🏾
LMAO grocery bag 😂❤️ love sister
😂😂🫶🏾
When you say you don’t cover your hair in the shower do you mean you put your entire head in the water or just let the steam get to it?
It simply means I don't wear a shower cap when taking a shower. My hair may get a little wet when washing my face, but my hair is low porosity so it dries up quickly
Do you shape them
No I don't palm roll or anything
What about spring water?
I honestly never thought about, but I guess thats better than tap water
Anybody in NYC who know a good Black loctition lmk please 🥺
Try Nia the Loc God
