This 100% true. I just started my 2nd set of locs 3 months ago. I used to get tons of compliments on my 1st set which grew to my waist, but I hated how flat they were, and I never over twisted them. In fact I twisted them only once every few months, focusing more on separating them and wrapping stray hairs around the base. But they were just so FLAT--I wanted more of that Lauryn Hill volume. I cut them and rocked a near-baldy for a long time (which I also loved). I decided this year that I was tired of detangling my growing hair and started them again, but this time I made sure I wasn't going to use gel or heavy butters, just oils. OMG, it's literally like I have a different head of hair! You can't mimic someone else's texture but you CAN control how much you weigh down your hair. The other day someone said they wish their locs were as fluffy as mine, so SUCCESS! I can't believe what a difference the products (or lack of) that you use affects how light and voluminous your hair can be. I'm so happy :D
There is no way to "make" your locs fluffy it depends on your hair type. One thing I was told when starting locs and I feel is the truest statement "your hair is going to do what it's going to do" that's it and that's ok!
EXACTLY! MINES are fluffy. Low maintenance... never really styled, always hanging, pulled back if doing something.... otherwise...."let IT do, what IT DO"!
The way your locs are now that they are grown,the fullness,lightweight,shape is priceless, big , fluffy & fascinating!!bt because u have had enough of them it's ok!!
Your dreads are perfect. The perfect length, the perfect size, the perfect volume - everything. If i ever loc'd my hair, I would want them to look just like yours
Lacy Patron you have to want them to look just like YOURS. The loc journey is about embracing yourself as opposed to emulating, which is flattering but in the end unhealthy.
Lacy Patron Hey beautiful! While I appreciate the comment (thank you😊), I never want anyone to feel like their hair has to look like someone else's to be beautiful. I'm sure that when or if you decide to grow locs that they will be perfect the way they are, because they are YOURS!😊 One of the reasons I wanted to make this video was to promote self love for each individual. All of our locs are beautiful and unique, and definitely worth celebrating 😊. Much love to you beautiful! I'm looking forward to seeing your amazing locs😊😘.
I'm 4 weeks in. I have what some consider "mixed hair", VERY curly/fine hair. It frizzes in humidity & curls when wet. I can see already that my locs are going to be more fluffy than tight & compact. I definitely agree that hair texture plays the biggest role in that! Love your videos :)
I disagree I did this technique everyone locs are different I agree but I can say my locs were so soft and fluffy In there own way no palm roll frizzy at its best
Yay! Another much needed video. Also, I have a Nefertiti charm too but it's sterling silver. I think it's the fullness, lusciousness and thickness of your locs is why your locs are so loved or at least that's my reason. You are the reason for me embracing the frizz and fullness of my 7 month old locs. I don't retwist as often I as I used to as well. This set is so much more fuller and thicker than my first set and I'm embracing them. Oh how do you feel about spritzing rosewater on your locs daily? I used to but it was slowing down the locing process and contributing to unraveling so I only spritz when I feel it's dry and needs a refresh
Nicole Page Thank you so much beautiful! Your locs are gorgeous! 😊 I haven't tried rose water so I cannot speak on it from experience. I do however spray my hair with water when needed. I used to spray it everyday, but I don't now. I usually spritz it every other day😊.
Being natural all the way is important I'm the same way now mines been in for 15 months and I was putting different products and retwisting 1time monthly I just don't care any more about how they look as long as they grow and its growing fast sulfer8and rain water all I use I keep my hands off the hair and I notice the silver makes my nails grow long and stronger feel like knives on my hand you a very beautiful and an inspiration
Carmen Hogan Thank you so much! I'm so glad that they are helpful and entertaining for you ☺. I'm excited for you to start your journey! Please keep me posted 😊.
mine are thick and fluffy and i'm so happy. I was so worried because my hair is fine and at first I did bigger sections and my locs were fluffy but STILL looked scattered. But then I went back and split all of them in two and now (4 weeks later) they're fluffy but closer together.
My baby girl is starting her loc journey and has had her retwist a couple times now. The gel that is used…. It makes the hair stiff. Her hair shrinks up and barely moves. What’s wrong???? 😫 No one wants their Locs to be stuck to their head every morning they wake up. Help!!!!!
I just started with a two strand twist. It’s been a month now and my hair doesn’t go down. Like they stick up like I’ve gotten shocked. My hair is 4c Is that normal ?
Mine looks like yours. Hehe. Kinda. I wanted to see if that was normal. I have had it in for over a year. Thank you! I do happen to use products but they are all light weight products, but that's because my hair is naturally dry. So they need help to keep that moisture. I also give my hair mostisture treatments once a month. I also retwist my locs with retwist and interlocking around every 4 weeks. So I think it all comes down to the hair type and are u doing what's healthy for your hair.
Nice. Looks like no palm rolling. I'm trying it this way. I'm 3 months in...
7 років тому+2
What conditioner do you use? Ever since I stopped going to get retwists (I do it myself now) I haven't been getting conditioner and have just been using oil treatments. I'm afraid of build-up from products so I have only been using all natural shampoo, rose water, and oils in my hair. However, I feel like I need or maybe just want more moisture.
If you do not retwist, how do they loc? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm very new to this and would like low manipulation. I feel like if I don't retwist or use products, my hair would be twists on the bottom and just curls at the root. I tried to loc before, but my hair unraveled every time. Please help.
I absolutely adore looking at your locks every update ❤❤❤ and what I have to say about the topic is that they are probably referring to the thickness of your hair not knowing that it's only your natural hair texture because if they don't have the same hair texture then of course they won't get the same results. also the fact that your locks do look spongy and fluffy like a pillow LOL but nice seeing you again boo stay locd
if your locks aren't damaged I think what they're referring to is how locs look when you have a certain hair texture. my hair is very thick but not very nappy which gives me a lot of fluffiness but also gives me a lot of frizziness. I think when people have a tight coil pattern they have less Frizz...lucky them. I also agree that using less products will give you a fuller care free look that people may be referring to. on another note a lot of videos that I watch on UA-cam seem to promote a more relaxed hair type of loc. it's like people want soft wavy extra neat locs...anything but nappy...lmao
Jess yeah thats true i do believe people who do have coarser hair shouldn't be ashamed to embrace it either i think all hair is beautiful.....but wen it comes to locs people with coarser hair have somewhat of a advantage because coarser hair tangles faster than just curly hair my opinion tho lol
Can you do a tutorial for the pipe cleaner curls. I would love to see what that would look like on your hair. Only if you want to of course. Or even a video how you style yours Locs when you go out.
I just started my loc journey yesterday. I love your locs btw! When do you recommend I do a re twist? My concern is that my locs will start to unravel if I wait to long to re twist while they are in the infant stage.
It's actually weird this is my second set of locs my comb coil locs weren't like this now I started with 2 strand twist I'm a month and 8 days in this time it's been very low maintenance washing, moisturize with black castor oil mixed with rosemary oil and water
I clicked because I went to a loctition and got a palm roll, my 1st ever (locked about a year). That palm roll was so tight it not only took away 50% of my loc width yet it also broke off hair going into my locs. 🤦🏽♀️😔
I just got my first retwist (I’m 7wks locd) Professionally palm rolled I love the curly textured look but now it’s gone (the skinny coolio look) can I get my textured fuzzy back . I don’t think I’ll be getting a retwist
Since u don't retwist ur hair do u find your hair getting tangled at the roots? Because i am one year locd and I can't let mine grow out too much because it will get tangled and it hurts to detangle it.
Gummy Bear Hi! My locs don't get tangled at the roots. I have two locs in the back that are joined at the roots, but I don't mind. If some combine naturally, I'm fine with it. Occasionally I do separate a few locs if needed.
germaineamia Hey!! Sure. Honestly, nothing fancy. I haven't ventured out much with shampoos yet. I've currently been using suave naturals (green bottle) and its been doing just fine for my locs 😂.
Hey there! I've been following you for a while and am loving your journey. I'll be 10 months loc'd later this month. May I ask, what do you use on your edges?
I notice from your earlier videos that your locs were thin at first and now they've gotten really thick. And they are still beautiful :) Mines are kind of thin and flatter like those in your earlier video and I love them this way. I wouldnt mind if they got thicker to a certain extent but I have a personal preference for the way thinner locs look. I plan to keep them if they get real thick but Id like to know if everybody's changes like that..Can someone please tell me?
l like your dreadlocks l your to pamroll my dreadlocks l don't do it no more my dreadlocks are thin some fall off and some grow back the ones that fall off their long what do l do
Asher Flo Hey! I occasionally pop them, but if a few merge I don't mind. 😊 I'm going to be doing a freeform series, so I will share more about this soon 😊. Thanks for commenting 😊.

Which means this video is pointless 🤣
Products do build up and weigh the locs down that's why when people do the acv detox they always say their hair feels "lighter"
@@abymondesir23 it’s not. I think wetting your hair and when it goes back to “Afro” mode you should pick it a bit and fluff it out. Not hard
Water makes your locs fluffy/thicken. Water swells your hair.
@@realwayne86 yes water is all you really need for your hair
EXACTLY! MINES are fluffy. Low maintenance... never really styled, always hanging, pulled back if doing something.... otherwise...."let IT do, what IT DO"!

My first set of locs we’re so beautiful because of you I did all the techniques you did and my hair was so soft and fluffy thank you Queen
u can't make your locs fluffy. it all depends on your crown n how your personal hair is.. everybody hair texture n volume is different
Chitauri Ascend I completely agree. That's what I was conveying in the video 😊.
Exactly
I disagree I did this technique everyone locs are different I agree but I can say my locs were so soft and fluffy In there own way no palm roll frizzy at its best
@@jalisamay9129 also true
That means this video should been 10 seconds
TALKING ABOUT WEIGHT AND THEY JUST LOOK OVER ALL GOOD OMG GIRL YOUR LOCS ARE GORGEOUS 😍😍😍😍
When she say fluffy all I can recollect is whipped cream or buttercream
Just subscribed. Your locs are siiiiiiiiiiick!
I am so proud of how great your loc journey is coming.i still remember watching your first starter loc vid.Youve come a long way
You give the best tips! Your locs are so bomb!

Love your hair! I just started my loc journey and plan on documenting on my channel! You are so inspiring inside and out!
I just can't wait to start my loc journey and I love watching your videos very informational and entertaining

Your hair is loc goals
I love your locs they look so full instead of flat there pretty im inspired ive been looking for someone that have locs that are full
My fav loc videos 😍
Question: If you don't retwist the roots, how do you keep your hair from matting? Just curious. Thank you.
Pulling apart n separating on wet hair fresh out the shower
My baby girl is starting her loc journey and has had her retwist a couple times now. The gel that is used…. It makes the hair stiff. Her hair shrinks up and barely moves. What’s wrong???? 😫
No one wants their Locs to be stuck to their head every morning they wake up. Help!!!!!
Do you ever brush your locs to get out lint and give some extra frizz?
I just started with a two strand twist. It’s been a month now and my hair doesn’t go down. Like they stick up like I’ve gotten shocked. My hair is 4c Is that normal ?
That's very normal for 4c hair, as soon as your locs mature they will hang
Literally exact same problem with me
It’s been 3 months now, they’re hanging :)
@@artareon Their hanging now lol
Awww, I love that! 😍😍😍
Mine looks like yours. Hehe. Kinda. I wanted to see if that was normal. I have had it in for over a year. Thank you!
I do happen to use products but they are all light weight products, but that's because my hair is naturally dry. So they need help to keep that moisture. I also give my hair mostisture treatments once a month.

You hair automatically locs up if you don’t wash it or comb it out it takes time
Depending on you hair mines loc’d up after 3 months I retwist once a month.
I had the same problem. Try interlocking. No product needed, it locks the loc at the root and never unravels. Hope that helps!
If you don't put product in your hair, how do you keep it moisturized?
Natural oils.
You just have pretty hair to begin with
I absolutely adore looking at your locks every update ❤❤❤ and what I have to say about the topic is that they are probably referring to the thickness of your hair not knowing that it's only your natural hair texture because if they don't have the same hair texture then of course they won't get the same results. also the fact that your locks do look spongy and fluffy like a pillow LOL but nice seeing you again boo stay locd

Please is there any problem washing my hair everyday when I take a shower?
You totally answered my question, thank you so much

Peace Queen, can you tell me how you started as you mentioned not using any product?
I think the cut gives the fullness as well
I LOVE my fluffy locs! I didn't know the name for them until I found this video lol. I just called them a mop.
What do you use for your edges?

Did you start your locs as faux locs and then went to natural?
How many locs do you have???
Hey Angel! Do you still wash your locs every 4 weeks?

Shana Middleton Hey Shana! 😊 Sure. It won't be a tutorial, but I can talk you through it and demonstrate best I can 😂.
Natural Nirvana That would be perfect!! ☺️
Are you popping your loc's? or are you going to let them all merge?
Asher Flo Hey! I occasionally pop them, but if a few merge I don't mind. 😊 I'm going to be doing a freeform series, so I will share more about this soon 😊. Thanks for commenting 😊.
Not a problem! I love supporting Godly black people, especially ones with loc's cause theres so few of us. Plus were loc twins lol
Follow my loc journey
