20 minutes braiding once a month to wash is better than the hour daily styling. The point of locs to not mess with it so much so it can actually loc in place. Personally I keep my hands out of my hair until washing and retwisting. I spray lavender water and caster oil but I dont touch it.
A hour a day to style is a lot. I stayed with a protective style before locs lol I do use Jamaican Black Castor Oil though. I never tried lavender water I bet that smells great!
@@Shanaecarter its just pure lavender essential oils that i pour into water. If I’m being really fancy then I boil fresh lavender plant in a pot of water and let it cool.
Thanks so much!❤ the day after my bday! I know they are gorg!! 😍 I cut my hair before I got my install as well for a even look. Everyone starts somewhere hun, they will grow and be beautiful! We just gotta be patient and trust the process!
Hey Shanae! I'm born and raised in Dinwiddie...moved to Florida some years back ans finally decided to get microlocs. My install was October 23 2021. Chile this lent struggle is real!
Hey! Thanks for watching! It definitely is a struggle! My loc-tician told me about Apple Cider Vinegar to help remove build up. I have tried it maybe 2 times idk if I can tell if it's helping much 😅
Love your locs! I started mine in April w/ twists!! I may have missed it but how long does your retie take??? Bc mine is taking all day and I AM CONCERNED!! I aint tryna be in a shop for 10 hours every 6 weeks!
Welcome to the loc gang girl! I love that idea cause once you wash the locs they dry and shrinks up vs twisting our locs so they can dry stretched out for a longer effect. I haven't tried twisting after a wash but I'm definitely gonna try on my next wash!
Hi I am currently watching your video and I heard you said something about build up and Lent so I wanted to leave a comment to let you know about the Damien Walters lock wash I use it in my hair I've been locked with traditional locks for 2 years now and I haven't had none of these issues you should also invest and Design Essentials oat protein and henna is a really good shampoo for removal of anything in your locks it is also something that I've been using since I've been locked
It's been almost 2 weeks since I started my microlocs and I'm literally thinking of how to wash my hair. I work out pretty much every day so wash day is coming soon, but I'm scared to wash them because I don't wanna mess anything up lol. Mine are about 4 inches too, so I'm like how am I gonna braid them when they're so short 😅
Hey girl! You can two strand twist them down and rubber band them down. I do that method I think it's faster for me. But after a while I just wash my hair as is. No twist or braids before hand and the results are still good. Not much bunching if you were concerned for that. You may be just fine if you just wash it hun don't over think it if you wanna wash your hair wash it! 😉
Thanks hun! It was so nice to get glammed up for my shoot definitely could not let this beat go to waste lol! I'm gonna have to learn an everyday look I can do for myself

@@Shanaecarter yeah it really does smell so nice, other people notice it more than me know.
@@Yardenisrael do you have a particular brand you like? I think I would like to try that for stress relief for sure!

@@Yardenisrael I actually have both of those so let me get to creating! Thanks!
Here listening and watching 🥰
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Love your locs, I just did mine 2/27/22 with tiny braids. But my hair is about a half of an index finger long . I cut it back in November smh

Thank you so much chile! ♥️ I go to a loctician to get my reties and I'm usually done between 2-3 hrs! She's awesome I go to her every 6-8 weeks
@@Shanaecarter See, I'm trying to be loyal but I think my loctician may work a little slower than others. Thank you for answering!
@@jadecunningham2457 do you retie yourself? I am nervous I will mess up in the back. I haven't tried to retie myself.
your locs look good front and back!!!
Thank you so much!
I wash my hair normally then retwist immediately (I’m on month+ locked)

I haven't tried it but I heard washing your hair with a wave cap on helps. Makes sense to me. Less manipulation
@@sabrinagardner9494 I ended up just using rubber bands without braiding and it's been working for me!
Have you tried Jamaican Black Castor Oil water?
I have not, I have to look for that one! I know that would be so soothing to my scalp when it's itchy for sure.
Yes makeup!! #nofliter
