Hair-lo inquisitive entity!
I hope you enjoy this video showing you how I wash my temporary locs. I've found this method super effective for cleansing them whilst keeping them "neat", knot-free, and moisturised. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the routine and this video format.

For everyone wondering about the takedown. I've got you!
I've filmed the process twice now but I'm taking a while to edit and upload it - apologies for that. Provided I don't leave them in for longer than 4 weeks, the takedown is pretty smooth. It takes a while to remove them but there's no locking or meshing and the hair is in a pretty detangled state, even after having been washed up to 3 times. It's honestly the best takedown I've experienced. To do this, I cover my hair with coconut oil well in advance of a takedown session and I use conditioner on top of that. I spread my takedown sessions out across a few days and I'm able to remove the locs with minimal breakage. This is still my favourite style for this reason. Imagine being able to remove a 4-week old style that you've washed up to 3 times (with clay) with minimal breakage!!! This is a revolution.
I recommend you do a 'loc' test every so often by attempting to push your finger through some locs. If you struggle, it means your hair is locking. My hair always passed the loc tests. Hope this helps!
Some Natural hair icons say do not wash in protective styles. They say take down protective styles and detangle first before washing. Ms. Tannish 1 says this to avoid excessive tangling.

Making the clay wash running is definitely a great idea. I was concerned that it would get stuck in the locs but that solves it. Thank you so much for sharing, I'll try your technique of using clay wash instead of black soap next time I wash my locs. ❤️❤️❤️
It works really well. I'm not sure if you spotted it, but in this video I didn't manage to get all the clay out. That's not because I couldn't get it out but rather because I was filming and not looking in the mirror enough :/ Normally I don't have so much residue. I've actually just bought some black soap so I'm going to try using that (on a small section) next time I wash. I'm curious to see if It knots up my hair.
@@NaturallyHigh 😂😂 I understand. I get products stuck in my hair everytime I film.
Locks look great on you! I’ll keep pretending my worn in twists are locs lol!
ozioma thank you! Good idea!
Lmao same
I've had mini twists since Labor Day, taking advantage of that long weekend to put them in. I moisturize, refresh my scalp (w aloe vera), wash and keep my hair stretched nightly - all while keeping the mini twists in. I plan to take the mini twists out in early January so I'm just thinking through my game plan for the take down and wash.
Thanks for such a thorough tutorial. I love your channel. Had no idea flaxseed gel could be so useful for retention!
You're so welcome - yes, it makes all the difference.
Yay! English Videos are back ❤️❤️❤️
Lol yes!
@@NaturallyHigh you will have one of the best locs because of the density of your hair. For real girl.
I’ve had locs on /off for over 10 years. And now I want to grow my hair out: I’m considering using locs as a protective style. No combing or heat for years . But I won’t twist them, they’ll be small and free form. For easy take down
Love love love how you teach all how to do and love their 4c hair 🤗🤑😇🤗 I do oil but leave it in then apply shea butter and then apply castor oil on my ends because my scalp hates it 🤣🤣🤣
Re. your castor oil question: I love the stuff. I don't tend to detect any smell so I am 100% fine with it.
I tried Shea Butter again. This time it’s the white/off white color. It left my hair soft as opposed to the yellow one which left my hair Brillo pad dry. I also melted the Shea butter which makes applying it sooo much easier.
Thanks for sharing! That sounds like a huge improvement.
Love your hair. Will definitely follow on Instagram
Waiting for the day when your hair is loc'd up! It's like you're on your way there.
I love this look but I don't see myself going permanent. I'd miss the volume of my loose hair and loose twists!
I'd like that you do the Anthony Dickie's method of wash and go
No way! I tried that a few years ago and it was a horrendous fail. If you scroll all the way down my Instagram (@Naturally_High_Hair) you'll see the cute result. And if you look here, you'll see the aftermath: ua-cam.com/video/uriPvr2bOsM/v-deo.html
I’ll search for a video another time, but do you ever straighten your hair to clip your ends and not just the longest strands?
Hello, yes I like the smell of castor oil, yes I tried something new in quarantine, basically Ayurvedic recipes and a lot of diy products, some were great, eg. Avocado and honey hair mask, and others were a fail. Thanks for this will give kaolin clay a try.
Wow! You've been experimenting. That mask sounds delicious. What did it feel like in your hair?
@@NaturallyHigh I started experimenting out of desperation, shea moisture discontinued my favorite Deep conditioner, and Amazon shipping prices are sometimes double than the actual product costs, I was not about to spend a fortune buying products that my hair would potentially reject. It was a happy discovery though. My hair felt amazingly soft, and moisturised, and it held that feeling for the full week. if you try it, go for the less fibrous variety of avocado, and strain it as much as possible.
Lindo seu cabelo parabéns você cuida muito bem deli
Hola quisiera ver mucho de tus vídeos en español!! Me encanta tu canal ya estoy en transición!!! Un saludo...
They look great but I’m low-keyed scared for when you take them down. Will your real hair be super tangled?
Thank you! This is my natural hair in plaits. You can check to see if your hair’s matted by sticking your finger through a loc. If it passes through, you’re safe. I don’t keep these in for longer than a month.
@@NaturallyHigh My hair? Two weeks top, my hair is officially loc'd up! My hair is mad at me now for not letting it, it locs up that easily!!!
indria drayton oh dear! I’m sorry to hear that. It’s really important to monitor the situation by attempting to take individual ones out after short periods of time. Wishing you strength as you remove and detangle. 💛✨
Well you can comb out actual locs , so she should be fine
@@Babybookieboo thank you for chiming in. I have to disagree with the idea that because actual locs can be combed out, there's nothing to fear when installing twists/plaits long term. Just as with removing actual locs, removing old twists can cause damage to the hair. This is because ages styles tend to mat, mesh and tangle meaning that: 1) higher forces are needed to remove knots (or more patience); and 2) some knots are unremovable. Afro hair is already delicate. Even if your hair isn't breaking when you handle it, you are still inflicting damage. This is why it is important to find the optimum amount of manipulation necessary for the maintenance of your hair.
Do you normally use shea butter in your hair? How often do you apply it? I find that shea butter is very good at keeping the hair from matting. My hair doesn't really like it so I couldn't use it on wet hair like you just did, but your technique is helping me to strategize my next attempt with the temporary locs.
This is a good question. I honestly apply it when my hair 'feels' like it needs something thick and creamy as opposed to a lighter leave-in. So next time you'll use it on damp hair? So glad this could be of help to you!
Your a life saver.I’ve always wanted locs but never knew a good way to do them on my type hair
Lilian Okibe’s temporary locs are wonderful and I’m glad I could bring them to you as an option.
Great video ,can you show your sheabutter mix pls.Thank you
Yes please
Hola muy buen video
Q bueno seria poder escucharlo en Español o con subtitulaje para poder saber los ingredientes o si es un tratamiento o un champoo natural.
Sigo tus consejos de los videos en Español q has subido y mi cabello ha mejorado y crecido muchisimo.
Estoy muy contenta.
Muchas gracias

I've made my own conditioning goop that works like wow on my 4z hair!
What's in it?
@@NaturallyHigh almost forgot what I put in!!! LOL! Warning, this is long. Run while you still can! Here we go. Coconut oil, avocado oil, grapeseed pil, a smidgen of olive oil, a little of a brand called Hot Six oil, distilled water, Suave almond and shea butter conditioner, a ton of shea butter and shea nut oil. I also add a bunch of essential oils like peppermint, lavender, sage, rosemary, rosehip seed, tea tree, anise for scent and properties. They're only in small amounts put in to my goop, the majority of ingredients is the coconut oil and blah, blah, blah! I find acv mixed with distilled water and one or two essential oils works to detangle my hair as well as moisturize it before I use my penetrating oils (the same carrier oils as above) that sink in, then I slather on the goop and work it into my hair, followed with castor oil. The moment it starts feeling dry, more water/acv is lightly spritzed on, and I work it in. I blot my oily hair with paper towels and put it up into some teeny ponytail and call it a day as I live my life. My hair is an acacia tree, a saguaro cactus; no such thing as too much oil and water for it...
Please share you mixture, I have 4z too.
We are up to 4z now? Wow...
Ojalá pueda verlo en español
Gracias Saludos desde Panamá

I am trying African threading for this quarantine.
Ah nice! How's it going?
Love your hair, can i use this method to wash regular twist?
You're welcome to try but be warned: if they are rope twists there's a risk of meshing. Ensure you stretch your hair really well to dry.
¿Se puede usar vinagre blanco?
The Hausa at the beginning tripped me up so much. I kept looking around for who was talking😭
haha!
walahi
Is this easy to comb out after a while ..I feel like my strands are not strong enough to handle it.. so tempting to try. Gained so much length don’t want to loose it 😰
solarlola 9 I feel you on the fear. It’s a valid concern. I’d advise being vigilant. My experience has shown me that they remain relatively easy to remove as long as they’re not left in for over 4 weeks.
Naturally High it’s a good protective style I’ll have to experiment. Thanks
Hi beautiful! Do you notice that your ends get knotted when doing the flaxseed gel to the ends? When it’s time for takedown (2weeks later) my ends are so tightly wound that it’s formed a pretty little knot 🤦🏾♀️😆
Hiya - I haven't noticed this. What's your removal procedure? What oils/liquids do you use?
Yo ordene Kaolin clay para probarla, solo he usado bentonita
Erika Parker dime cómo va!
Question! Is this the same one from your "Temporary Locs" video or did you re-do it?
This is the same set!
No volviste a hacer vídeos en español 😔y yo no entiendo absolutamente nada 😰 deberías ASER más gracias 😊
I haven't seen you in a long while. How have you been? I hope you are safe in these crazy times.
As for trying new things in quarantine, I am going to try an msm hair spray leave in. I heard it works wonders on hair, skin and joints.
As for the smell of castor oil... I will ADMIT that its not really too delightful, but its benefits are so good that I dont notice the smell at all.(p.s. I am very curious; how long is your hair now? Under butt? 😁)
Hey sweetie! Yeah - it's been a while (not THAT long as I uploaded 3 weeks ago). I'm staying safe and stranded in Trinidad. I've been sharing more on my Instagram so you should check me out there if you're not already following me. That is, if you want to be nosy. I hope you're keeping safe as well.
Ahhh! MSM is a growth stimulant - keep me posted on how it works for you!
My hair is indeed past my bum.These locs have it growing even longer because I've eliminated a major manipulation step. You seem like a long-time follower - want to join us on Patreon? The link is in my bio and I think you'd enjoy having exclusive monthly live chats!
@@NaturallyHigh Anything passed 2 weeks is a long time. Especially when it's a youtube I adore!
(At least you are safe in trinidad! I'm in America right now. You are in better shape!)
Also, I don't have an Instagram. Many people say "follow me on Insta.." And I don't plan on making one so I can't follow them there. Lol
(I think 1 day you should try msm...but in small amounts..just invase... And if I see results, I'd love to share them with you!)
Wow..your hair is longer than I thought! If I make a patreon, I'd be sure to support you.
@@NaturallyHigh I was going to ask about retention, but you say that this style is doing your hair some good. 👍🏿
Castor oil scent is nauseating but I can handle it best as black castor oil. Because I do use other scented oils, I don't notice the castor oil scent.
Lol at nauseating! I agree - mixing it with something else is a must!
You don't use shampoo then. Nice one sis 1😍😍😍😍
How long do you plan on keeping your hair like this? I really want to try this
No longer than 4 weeks.
How long do you wear your locs and how often do you do a retwist?
Good question! No longer than a month.
Could you do a playlist of yours Spanish's videos if you have?, because I like too much yours videos, but I can't speak English too much.
I've already got one. ua-cam.com/video/NoXkAfz59jk/v-deo.html

Do you do this routine weekly?? Does that mean its ok to use acv on your hair weekly?
Tilly weekly to fortnightly depending on my activity. What you use in your hair should depend on how your hair responds. I find clay washes gentle enough for frequent use.
Since you said your locs are temporary, how long are you planning to keep it? Won't it start to loc?
Sabina Celestin I don’t keep them in for longer than 4 weeks.
@@NaturallyHigh ok cool!
Has videos en español por favor, saludos desde Colombia.

@@NaturallyHigh y con subtitulos en español?
What is your plan since they are temporary?
C JP to remove them within 4 weeks of installation.
How often do u do this clay wash?
It varies from weekly to fortnightly.
Me gustaria que realizaras videos EN espanol te sigo però no te entiendo😂veo y entiendo solo Los productos wue utilizza solo por su disegno e devo adivinar ASI y cojos ideas para mi es dificil

In spanish plis
Pronto!
that looks like its going to be a pain to detangle...
ele_doodle it does look that way but it’s not the case. You can test to see if your hair’s locked by sliding a finger into the loc. If it goes through, you’re safe. In my experience, leaving them in for more than 4 weeks is a no-no. At that point, the removal gets difficult. Before that point, it’s relatively painless.
@@NaturallyHigh Oh ok. Thank you :) Will you do a video of the take down?
ele_doodle yes of course!
It won’t. People comb out actual locs that have been in for years, she’ll be fine
I don’t know why u keep calling your
loose twist locs. Since u had it for 4 weeks it kind look like locs but it’s not locs.
Girl stfu. They are locs. They look the same as anyone attempting to grow locs.
