    Just got installed today! This is my second time having locs after cutting my 10 year old locs three years ago. Im so excited to go through this journey again as I’m so much more confident than 17 year old me who was so insecure. 31 year old me is going to sway on these people with my new locs. 😂

      Did you have traditional locs or micro the first time, and what did you get this time around. ❤

    Feeling so seen!!! I just started my microlocs 2-3 weeks ago and I was little nervous for wash day because I have noticed some slippage around the perimeter of my head. But, your video has made me more confident in the process! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾

    Love your microlocs! I got my microlocs installed 1yr tomorrow! I'm so excited and can't believe I've had my hair loc'd for an entire year! I love love love my locs! I get lots of compliments on my her
    Your locs remind me of my microlocs. Love your channel and videos. You're inspiring me to start filming my journey but I'm too shy but still considering doing it though! Anyways thanks for sharing 👍🏽👍🏽😊

      @Ifeyinwa  2 роки тому +1

      Awww thank you! And happy loc-anniversary! You should definitely share your journey if you feel led to. If UA-cam isn't your thing, maybe try Instagram or TikTok - I feel like those platforms are a little less intimidating haha

    Why did you stop using rose water? My microlocs is 3 weeks now and I use the rose water 2 to 3 times weekly.

  • @abolavl
    @abolavl 2 роки тому

    Hi! Is there a reason why you stopped using the peppermint moisturizer spray vs now using water? Did it still irritate your scalp?

    • @Ifeyinwa
      @Ifeyinwa  2 роки тому

      Not at all, it just wasn't doing anything for my dry scalp so I decided to try plain water instead and that worked way better for me

    I am NEW and I am enjoying your videos and the invaluable info.
    I am so ready to sign up as a member of the "I do NOT know how to cornroll club", I always feel like the only one, however the additional flaw are my braiding skills are quite subpar too.
    What are the measurements of your head wrap? Where did you get it?

    • @Ifeyinwa

    I can’t keep my hands out my hair. I’m 3 mos in and it’s a stress relief when I run my fingers through it 😢. What can happen if I don’t stop? Any suggestions?

    • @Ifeyinwa
      @Ifeyinwa  2 роки тому

      Maybe try tying it up in a scarf os substituting with a stress ball? You definitely want to try to keep your hands out of your hair as much as possible. Good luck!

    • @KSalt714

    • @Ifeyinwa
      @Ifeyinwa  Рік тому

      Some are but my current locticians are Sisterlocks certified, so it really depends

    how long does it take to retighten?

    • @Ifeyinwa
      @Ifeyinwa  2 роки тому +1

      Hiya, I thought I mentioned it in my video but my reties take about 3 hours

  • @eyesata114
    @eyesata114 2 роки тому

    Hi, I’m extremely confused is retightening and interlocking the same thing?

    • @eyesata114
      @eyesata114 2 роки тому

      I have microlocs

    • @Ifeyinwa
      @Ifeyinwa  2 роки тому

      Hey, no they’re not the same. Interlocking refers to the method or technique of establishing a loc. During the interlocking process locticians will usually use a tool to essentially knot your hair with various rotations. Retightening refers to the process of locking your regrowth as your hair grows out. In my case, the interlocking method is used to retie my locs, but there are various other methods that can be used to retighten your locs. I hope that helps!

    • @Ifeyinwa
      @Ifeyinwa  2 роки тому +1

      haha, sometimes I wonder if my sense of humour is too random for this platform so I'm always happy when other people appreciate it. But yes, I've seen quite a few people start off their locs with braid/twist combos. It might take a bit longer to fully lock but I've definitely seen it work.
