Happy last Sunday of 2019! One important thing I forgot to say--deep cleanse your locs, of course! I link to my video on that in the first couple of minutes, so take a look at it if you haven't seen it already. Thank you for watching! ❤️
Beautiful locs and great tips!! Another tip for getting surface lint out of the locs is using a soft brush to brush your locs. It also helps with frizz
#5 alone changed EVERYTHING!!! I got a 2-in-1 shower head and the handheld thing changed wash day. I have to wash my hair weekly, otherwise my scalp itches like crazy!!!! A handheld showerhead made washing my hair so much easier.
My locs are FINALLY 1 year old!!!! I have gone to a stylist regularly but this next year I am going to try washing & styling myself. Your videos are so helpful! Also, scarfs do not stay on my head! I use a du-rag & bonnet but even that comes off most night 😩😩.
PraisePlanPurpose there is a product called a satin braid bonnet. Best of both worlds. Holds your hair down in the front like a Du-rag and the back fits like a long shaped bonnet. You can get it at most beauty supply stores. Here is the amazon link. I swear by it www.amazon.com/Donna-Collection-Satin-Braid-Bonnet/dp/B00EK56F28
I use that aloe gel for retwists too. Other stuff I tried I would see it turn white on wash day (buildup). I wish the hold was slightly better though. You and your locs always look beautiful.
i was planning on getting 2 strand twist micro locs bc i was joining the marines. I thought it'd be low maintenance and easy to deal with. CLEARLY i was mistaken
I got locs this year July 20 and sadly for some reason I just get build up at the roots of my locs, I have cried so many times because I’ve tried so hard getting it out and I’m terrified my loctition will be mad at me, but I’ve literally been washing it correctly but honestly it just gets stuck and I feel like maybe locs were not the best choice for me even though I love them
Hey Nina .. what do you apply to your scalp in between washes to control the dandruff .. for you to actually get to week three .. because I have a fro rn and if I go like three days without washing my head already gets flaky and itchy .. I've been considering getting locs ..
I have build up:( what do I do to get it out? Please don’t judge me 🫠 I will admit I’ve been lazy with my locs life has been hectic but my locs are nice and long and I want to keep them
Greetings, I just came across your video bc I was seeking how to clean, soften my locs. Also, I was wondering best way to get rid of sweat smell after working out?
I CANNOT WAIT till my locs are locked so i can really wash the hell out of them, instead of using a damn skull cap (they are only like 4 inches) lol but yeah, i always protect my hair from everything. Might as well start now lol
Hello Nina , I hope you see this comment , I’m past six months on my loc journey and everyday for the past three months I soak my locs in water . I haven’t had any problems yet. I wanted to know your thoughts on that ?
Amanda Attipoe I’m not an expert, but I think that is the best way to get moisture into your locs. I hear some UA-camr worrying about mildew with frequent exposure to water. I think that the benefits outweigh that risk. I think that occasionally shampooing with Nizoral shampoo should eliminate the risk of mildew if any. Even just a rinse with vinegar helps prevent mildew. Also don’t cover your hair for a long period while it’s wet.
NattyDST340 I use that gel for my retwists it has very good hold depending on your hair. It works the best on my perimeter but weaker hold in the back of my hair where I have a lot of frizz. They have small travel sized bottles of it. Give it a try.

PraisePlanPurpose I’ve had the same issue with scarves. Lately, I’ve been using the panty part of pantyhose (cut the legs off). Works good thus far.

Does the aloe vera gel have a good hold when you retwist?
NattyDST340 I use that gel for my retwists it has very good hold depending on your hair. It works the best on my perimeter but weaker hold in the back of my hair where I have a lot of frizz. They have small travel sized bottles of it. Give it a try.
@@aquaopa1 thanks
I use aloe vera gel too and it holds good
@@annetrabowman6508 thanks
do you add the stay in moisturizer to your locs?
