Yes washing and water rinsing increases growth. Even if I don’t shampoo I do some type of rinse whether it’s just water or water to rinse away oil I massaged into my scalp. I locd my hair because of this. My loose natural hair was growing so fast it was discouraging dealing with all my hair. I got the idea from Dickey at Hair Rules. He said the tighter the coil the more often you should moisture. So I was cowashing daily and shampooing twice a week. The growth was ridiculous!
I’m so glad I found your channel. I just started my 2nd loc journey - this time with braid locs (not micro). I can see how reducing your stress, eating well, hydrating plenty and getting enough sleep is very beneficial to hair growth - and of course our overall well-being. I also wash my hair regularly for a clean scalp. I’ll incorporate scalp massages mainly for the stress relief and to ease the migraines/headaches I get. Sending you much love ❤️
Thank you so much. Since I’ve been pregnant I’ve been getting migraines too. They are not fun at all!!! I didn’t know massages can help. I think I may start trying that. I love braid locs!!!! I was thinking of possibly going that route, but I did not think I had enough hair doing skills to not mess it up.
I love the info you provide! I agree with you on massaging the scalp! I massage my scalp every morning! I have low density, thin, fine hair and issues with my scalp due to meds and surgery! I’m three months in my SL journey and my loctician really noticed hair growth since my last retighten....I contribute the growth to massaging and stimulating blood flow!!! I always thought my hair was the problem but I learned I have a sensitive scalp and the massages works wonders! I have no need to moisturize my locs.....I pay special attention to my scalpI’ Thank you for sharing!
I just listen to my hair. I was frequently, moisture is my bff! I don't retwist as often...2 - 3 months with smithing as needed. Lots of water & balance diet. Massage & exercise. In 6 months 3 - 4 inches.
I have been talking myself into locs then talking myself out of it but after watching your videos I am feeling more encouraged about just going for it.
ive always washed my hair once or twice a week, my mom had me on that schedule as a kid also. My hair has always been long and ive always been that person that can cut half their hair and grow it back in a year. Maybe washing more often does speed the growth. I feel its mainly because of the scalp stimulation while shampooing.
Thank you for sharing =) I don't think washing more will ever put me on your level. Sounds like you're blessed girl! I may even increase the washing after reading your comment though ! We shall see what happens =)
Thank you for your transparency and information you've shared. I'm starting my sisterlocs journey next month. I'm so, so, so excited 😁. Thank yoooou 😘❤❤
You are so welcome 😊💗! Enjoy the journey Sis! Pack you some yummy snacks and something to entertain you during your install, because they can take days, but it’s so worth it in the end 😊
Ooh what fun! I know sometimes I could be hard on myself for wanting to hop on a bandwagon to get faster growth. Tell myself to stick to the essentials and nothing more. But where’s the fun in that? Few months ago I gave in, let loose, and got the Camille Rose Naturals Cocoa Nibs and Honey Hair Growth Serum and oiled my scalp with it a few times a week. Is it causing my hair to grow faster? I don’t know. Does it spark joy? You bet it does ☺️🤪
I am new to sisterlocks (9 months). I have stopped washing my hair as much just because of slippage. I only wash once a month. I have noticed that this time a year my hair goes faster. I want ti try the Carol Daughter's shampoo you showed but the aloe scares me as a newbie. I don't care for the sisterlocks shampoo it never really cleaned my hair. Great tips.
@@Niaimani92 I get my hair retighten this week. I will ask about Carol's Daughter with aloe. I tried it this am and was not impressed but I have a trial size bottle and used very little. I did like the smell nice and fresh scent.
Thank you Ms Nia for the reply about allergies; however, I am going to try the Alikay 17 essential oils. I read the ingredients and feel pretty safe. Thank you for your info and knowledge, gonna be a life saver for me! I already use olive, grapeseed, and jojoba, now I can just add sunflower to my own diy..which shampoo do you use? And do you order your products on line or where? I feel very encouraged bout my Hair Finally!! ❤Thanks 😂again😅 I will continue to follow!
I used biotin in my hair for hair nail and skin vitamins and what it did was help my hair to grow not long ago but healthier it made my head pick up like it used to be but I know biotin is good for your hair as far as making it healthy
As a professional cosmetologist and a woman with baby locks. Some hair NEEDS OILS!!! My hair needs oils and my daughters hair is 4c she definitely NEEDS oils we haven’t experienced slippage. My Locs are are 2” and four months old ( I cut them twice) hers are five months old and maybe 12” long both DIY. I give my daughter a oils treatment with steam hydration.
I am very interested in getting to know more about Loc's. Can I start with long loc's and trim them as my natural hair grows out with out any negative effects? What are your thoughts on this matter?
@@Niaimani92 I've been on all things lately and was like, there HAS to be an aloe vera oil somewhere...Amazon! 🙌🏾 I also saw Ask Debbie About Hair create DYI version here on UA-cam.
Thank you so much! I love your profile pic and your channel name btw lol! It was interesting enough to make me click on your page to see if you had fashion videos. Just thought I would let you know in case there was anything inside you telling you to make a channel =)
@@Niaimani92 Wow! Thank you for acknowledging the potential of my channel. I was thinking about starting a youtube channel about fashion for the longest, but I was scared do it. Lately, I was thinking that I had nothing to lose and I should just do it and see what would happen. So keep an eye out in 2021 for my channel.
You are my favorite!!!! I love your hair and the length!! I don't want my hair much longer than yours. Maybe one inch longer. Are you near the in the STL? I feel like I need to allow my hair to grow some more before i loc up due to shrinkage. Right now my hair is a natural thick shoulder blade length bob. Your videos make me wanna loc now 😊😊😊
Thank you so much! I'm loving this length, but I am definitely going for mid back length! I am not near STL, but I have visited the city quite a bit and definitely enjoy it there !
Thank you very much. I have severe allergies so it is very difficult for me to find the right products for me.. I’m listening to what you are using; but do you have a special mix for the hair for allergies and severe dryness? I was encouraged by your video because I have spent a lot of money and searched for a few years now for something that will work for me! Can you HELP?
Hmmm. When my loctician installed installed my sister locs in July 8-9 of this year, I was told not to use any oils or products with oils in them. I want to add length, but now I'm hearing use oil but was told no oil at all. So confusing.
I was told by my loctician to not use any until my hair was fully locked. My hair has been locked for years. I did not use them early on in my journey.
@@Niaimani92Ok, good to know! So I just probably need to be a little more patient with myself and with the journey and let them do their thing. Thank you so much! ❤
Hey Nia! Great video. I have purchased that same Biotin from Amazon, I wasn't as consistent in taking them as I should have been but I think I will go back to it. You and you're hair is really flourishing!
I am a new subscriber so you may have answered this already, how to do feel about rice water rinses? Moisture video us just what I needed thanks for the tips. I am looking to strengthen my edges. When stressed my edges are the first to go so I working on that but any other tips.

Hi Stanice! I would be wary of putting a cream moisturizer on my locs. I am sure a cream moisturizer could add moisture, but I would be concerned about build up, and would not do it on my locs.

I started my lock journey on 12/27/24 can’t wait to see my hair in another few months 💃🏻💃🏻

Yay!!! Good luck on your journey Sis!
Can I just say I lovvveeeee your texture!!! I started my locs at the end of September and I can see the similarities in our hair, I'm soooooo excited.
Thank you so much!!! It sounds like your enjoying your journey so far! I am so excited for you!
Just loced my hair Friday, and I found this video. I'm so excited to start this journey. Thank you for this video. I am a new SUB now!!!
I’m one month and almost a week into my loc journey 🖤 also a new subscriber
How is it now
Washing your hair more is also bringing more circulation to the scalp ... also love the Carol’s daughters for my locs (smells amazing too)
Thanks for the tips! The smell is so bomb!
I just listen to my hair. I was frequently, moisture is my bff! I don't retwist as often...2 - 3 months with smithing as needed. Lots of water & balance diet. Massage & exercise. In 6 months 3 - 4 inches.

Your routine sounds good. Listening to your hair for sure. And diet definitely, play's a big part.
I have been talking myself into locs then talking myself out of it but after watching your videos I am feeling more encouraged about just going for it.
That makes me so happy. Thank you for sharing that with me. By far my biggest regret with my locs was not starting them sooner =) Go for it girl!
I’m here to talk you into it sis 🤗 you won’t regret it
Mystique K I did it! I’ve been sisterlocked for 1 week now.

Great video! When I use to take biotin I felt it made hair everywhere grow faster and thicker smh.
Oh no lol! I need only the hair on my head to grow faster and that's it lol!
