• How To Loc FASTER! My ...
People gotta use common sense. When you are a loose natural and wash your hair, what happens? The hair tangles! So add water/wash your starter locs and watch them loc 10x faster.
lolololol I just hope this video reaches the ppl who need to hear it! starting the your loc journey can feel overwhelming and it's great to know ALL your options ya know? some might think they really can't put water in their hair! felt like my starter loc journey was like a chia pet bc of WATERRR
I noticed at week three that washing and adding water helps. I’ve had my locs for about 3 months I have some fully budded ones and about two that still unravels but I add water everyday and go swimming often so I wash my hair a lot, even tho people told me not to wash my hair for the first two months I didn’t wanna do that.
I just washed my starter locs my loctician said wait a month I laughed ..
@@briaangelic Good for you 👍🏽. Your hair will thank you and smell good and loc faster lol
Or leave them alone lol
Water 💦 is LIFE….why people out here depriving their locs is BEYOND ME…🤷🏾♀️
Keep the content coming…💯
that’s exactly what i’m saying i don’t get it either lololol
I was TERRIFIED to wet my hair. I have 3c hair and it’s more 3b in front, but listen my hair likes WATER. I couldn’t take it. So I wet it down now and it’s budding after 3 months. My daughter loc’d the same time as me and she has 4c hair….her hair busses almost immediately. It’s gorgeous. ♥️ Love this video!!!
Did you do a retwist after washing?
So glad to see people talking about this! I do the opposite of what "professionals" tell me and what makes the most logical sense! I am almost 18 months loc'd, started with 2 strand twists, no oils, and I use herbs and ayurvedic herbs for my locs. I am loving this process!! This is a great video!❤️
yesss!! i also say if you're hair liked water before locs it will more than likely like water WITH locs as well! also how do you use the herbs as in what form is it in since you said you don't use oils?
@@thesimoneestelle not sure what happened to my comment but ok let's try this again lol. You basically make a tea out of the herbs and that becomes your loc spray for your locs as well as your scalp.
@@myheadofhair ahhh i see so everything is water based. does it add shine as well?
@@thesimoneestelle yes all water based and I love that. It will completely depend on what tea and or herb that you use. 🙏🏾
I started budding as well after 1 week, kinda thought my locs were coming apart 😭but thank you so much for the vid. Glad to see someone else get the same results
I’m so happy I found your channel and appreciate the fact that you waited to see the results before trying to help others
awwww I'm glad you found it helpful! thanks for watching!!!
I’m amazed at the number of vids/ comments I’ve came across with people saying their locticians told them to avoid washing their starter locs. I started my locs last month and my loctician told me the same, to avoid washing/ wetting my hair.. she even suggested I use dry shampoo. Which I thought was absurd! If my hair is dirty, imma wash it with regular shampoo and water lol. Needless to say I washed my hair about a week after my loc installation and have had no issues with unraveling.
Those with thick coily hair know that when our hair gets wet it’s shrinks and ravels around each other. I personally think this assists with the loc’ing process. So I don’t understand why locticians are telling us to do the opposite. Needless to say this is yet another prime example of doing what works best for you even if you do see a professional.
couldn't have said it better myself! HEAVY on the "doing what works best for you"! they really don't call it a loc journey for nothing lol. i can listen to all the advice in the world, but what it really comes down to is what works for the individual.
They need repeat customers!
Thank you SO much for this!!!!! As excited as I was about getting locs the one thing I knew I'd have problems with was not wetting my hair 😩. I always loved getting my hair wet (especially because I was previously rockin a baldy) in the shower and knew it'd be hard to back off of it. So great that most updated info I hear now promotes not depriving your hair of water. I'm 3 mos in and really loving the journey.
Glad I could help! Water is def a necessity for hair in my book! I even tried to do without water simply bc it was the advice I received, but it just didn't work for me. Love encouraging others to follow what works for them as well!
I started on Feb 5 and washed my hair last week. So many of them are budding. Was told not to get them wet but I’m glad I did what I did. This is my second set and each time I did opposite to what I was told. I’m living this second journey.
idk what on earth have ppl so against putting water on their starter locs lol but i’m glad i’m finding more ppl who did them same and it worked out for them!!
Great video! I washed my locks 6 times before my first month in and I locked my hair and budded before my second retwist. Best thing I did.🥰
thank you! glad you enjoyed it! WOW! 6 time, you weren't playing around LOL. i'm glad more ppl are embracing doing what works for their hair!
Yes ma’am, me too! I have had several Loc journeys so I know what to do. The fist time was the scariest.
Any advice on how to wash starter locs? I've been 14 days so far with coils
Thank you for making this video. I currently have starter locs and I started with two strand twists. During the first week my scalp started itching me so bad 😫 . I tried adding more oils thinking it would work but it didn’t. After the second week I washed my hair and so far it’s doing well . I am in my third week now. I am thinking about getting rosewater so I can spray my hair to keep it hydrated. I am seeing a lot of videos on my timeline about people with locs washing their hair frequently. I love your locs.
yesssss!! first I'm glad this video helped you! def think listening to what our scalp and hair tells us is the best route to go!
Love this! This is the first video I’ve seen that says this and I totally agree! I was told not to wash my starter locs or saturate them in water just “spray” or “mist”. I love watering my hair. I always have even when it was loose, so I ignored them and continued to do what my hair loves. I’m SO glad I did. After my first wash my hair started budding not even a week later. I will continue to saturate my locs and wash them frequently.
i’m glad you were able to find the videooo!! water my starter locs was KEYYY idk why ppl say not to, like there’s honestly no adverse effects from doing it lololol
@@thesimoneestelle 0
Facts. Ur head is like atree. Not jus a journey. U water plants they grow. Water ur antanas they will grow...
I agree! My Loctitian told me not to wash for months but when I washed a month in my hair started budding like crazy
and you wouldn’t believe the amount of ppl who are telling me the same thing! atp i’m curious as to why anyone is saying not to wash or put water on their starter locs lol
@@thesimoneestelle to keep from messing up the parts I think
@@ArmaniTv_ yup what you said
I just use a must in spray in my tidewater
Loctician*
I’m so glad I found this video cause I’m 2 months in and as I was doing my first retwist, I noticed some budding but I thought I was crazy cause all the videos be like budding starts between 3-9 months.
yesss! the loc process looks different on everyone, but it’s superrrrr quick for type 4 hair types. we need to redo the times table
New subscriber !! I love your channel! Your locs are GORGEOUS!!! I can’t wait for more
thank youuu i drop new vids every Wednesday!
@@thesimoneestelle YAY! I can’t wait until Wednesday! I have my notifications bell on 😆
Yes i wash my loose natural hair once a week if im using products cause my scalp be singing to me lol i just started my journey and idc what nobody say ima wash my hair when my scalp tell me always and shrinkage is a sign of healthy hair so im happy when my hair shrinks 🙏🏽
Thank you soo much for this video! Imone week in my locs journey and I neededbthis intell on what the journeybnay be like. I do feel like my locs have started budding but I wasn't sure if they were or they were unraveling. It's soo nice to have this video, thank you 💗
awww i'm glad it helped!! and welcome to the loc family! do you have an insta? i'd love to follow your journey!
I use water on my starter locs everyday. Either from the shower or spritzing it with water. I have two strand twist starter locs and it’s been a month. My hair has definitely began to loc.
how is it now
I was wondering about that b/c I too have 2 strand and my hairs curls up at the touch of water so I will try what u did.
@@candacecooper5056 as an update my hair is definitely progressing.. my hair has budding, and you really can’t tell that I have two strands twist any more 🤣🤣🤣. I’m definitely at a point where my hair doesn’t untwist.. I would have to comb out my locs.
Hey how has the journey been
Had my fist interlocking today and been loc’d in almost a month. I'm watering this precious plant of mine everday🤗
Girl yess!! happy I found you
hiiii welcomeee and thank youu!!
I'm 5 months in and I'm getting some budding I'm like 4b and water does me dirty💀 but, I still wash my hair I think it does help in some type of way, but I'm going try that wig cap method the next time I wash !! Thanks for all the info you shared ✨
Pretty hair! Pretty face! Fresh vibes! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you because I'm 5 days in and it's hard to find newbie vids
glad you were able to find the video and it helped!! i'll be dropping more vids for starter locs, stay tuned!
Thank God I spot on this video 😍 I thought I was doing something wrong bcos within 1 week am realising some part of my locs are a bit puffy and am worried 😟. The fact is I spray it with water a lot I mean a lot about 10× a day from day 2 😃😃 so I thought the water is too much that is why. Thank you for the info🤗
I just started my locs on the 8th and they’re short lol and i washed in a week as well sis so I’m right behind you on that 🤣
AMENNN! lol i watched so many videos saying not to wash until a month and plus and i COULD NOT IMAGINE not washing my hair any long than a week haha.
@@thesimoneestelle you gave me the green light to do more than a daily light spray with water. So just tonight in the shower i put some water in my hand and drenched them a bit. Not to much cause they’re short and i don’t want them unraveling to much lol but it was a success. When I do my update video we gone see if I got some buddin… but also not rushing. I just love being able to wet my hair in the shower
I can relate to the itching in scalp. I am starting my 2nd loc journey and I am in my first week with loc so I want wash until the end of July and I start on June 19 I think.
hey guys!!! i started my locs december 8th… i really want to know what to do for it to start budding
mines also starting budding mad early. makes sense tho black hair tends to curl and tangle when wet
put water in your hair !completely agree
Really short hair, two weeks and already budding too. Touches water every day
I was out here swimming in a pool every day since month 2 & people thought my locs was a year old at 6 weeks!
wowww you got some crazy fast results! do you happen to have an insta loc page? i'd love to follow your journey!
My dad's locs are passed his butt and he said he washed his all the time before he was fully loc'd.
I had no choice, my scalp itched so bad i RAN to that shower to wash my head after 2 weeks 😂😂 and they didn't unravel.
I love your locs video 📹 okkk thank you
When I wash and moisture my hair, it grows more
Can I spray brand new locs with water?
Thank you for this video....I was wondering what you felt about adding sea salt to the water ?
you’re welcome! i’ve only done salt water once, but my locs loved it!
Today I was feeling adventurous and I mixed ionized salt with pure lemon concentrate, water, and a few drops of vitamin e. My hair loved it too and the ends had a nice curl (I'm 3 weeks in since I did the coils). I'm so glad I watched your vudeo. I was super scared to get my hair wet before
I washed mine on the 5th day. Was told to wait 4 weeks for first retwist.
complete liesss lololol I'm glad more ppl are doing what works for them 🙌🏾🤎
thanks for this video, I’m on my 2 week and my scalp is itching 😭 I was very scared to wash my hair and my twists eventually coming out bc my hair ir very short, but now I’m considering doing this 🤔
did you do it? update!??
@@katejones8785 yeah I did it and everything came out several times 😂 now I don’t have locs anymore unfortunately, but I pretend to restart in the future.
@@isa_virtual oh lol, ok
Hi, what advice would you give to someone who has starter locs - mixed hair and in cornrows when it comes to wetting their hair?
I have my hair for about a month, but i would wash once every 2 weeks, n mist it daily (n i put tea tree oil, peppermint oil, n caster oil in the bottle). I would condition my starter locs too (with a stocking cap) but only the day prior to getting them retwisted.
Help! I've been locked over 4 months and barely have budding. My loctician braided the base when I got my starter locs/two strand twists and I'm pretty sure it's stunting the locking process 😣. I also wet my hair daily
Your hair is beautiful!!!
thank you loveee!! but first what is your hair texture? that may be a factor. I started with comb coils, but in the research I've done about two strand twists I've never heard of anyone braiding the base 😢 HOWEVER! locs can be started with braids (for instance say you platted the whole section instead of part braid part two strand twist) but one thing about starting your locs with braids is that it takes THE LONGEST out of all the methods for hair to loc.. it may not necessarily be "stunted" but bc it's partly braided is adding to the amount of time it's taking to loc.
@@thesimoneestelle thank you for your response! My hair is mostly 4c, partly 4b in the front. Part of me wants to just leave it and let it be.. they feel slightly denser but not seeing much growth in thickness
@@jordana105 I did the two strand method too and my hair is budding after spraying it with rose/rosemary water and oiling my scalp I have yet to fully wet it because I wasn’t sure if I should
I have 4b/4c hair and I started my locs myself. I braided the base and two strand twist the shaft and everything is going as it should and faster. One pro I do notice is that, the braid helps prevent the loc from unraveling. Of course there’s a lot of frizz but I have all of my twist still intact.
Water your locs. I wet my locs everyday in the shower. Water and a little coconut oil is the only thing touch my locs on a regular basis and they grow as if they are possessed. I shampoo and steam condition them once monthly. And yes please wash y'all hair. At least rinse the funk out, squeeze them and allow to dry naturally. When I began my locs in 87 there was no products, terminology or tools, let alone a shop to visit for maintainence. Loctitians? n 1987? What is that? but Yes I suppose I am that I am, that for myself. I Had no idea what budding referred to... Flourish yea.
(Ol' head right here🧚🏾♂️ lol). Mighty. There were some others who referenced "budding" as I scrolled, however your energy drew me. And you washed your hair after a week, I said I can listen to her, she got some damn sense. You figured out the best secret to healthy locs. Water! 🤭 so yeah chile thank you for clearing budding up. 🌹Your locs are mighty! Mine flourish.
how do you use the coconut oil? Is your hair still wet or do you put it on damp/dry hair?
So pretty 😍
thank yo love! you are al well!!
What type of stocking cap did you use?
just a regular panty hose i no longer would be wearing
This is my third day of me having my starter locs and the same thing is happening to me i thought i did something wrong 😅😅😅
Pretty soul… just started my locs just started my journey
🥹aww thank you! what a beautiful compliment! welcome to the loc family!!!
I agree with you I found my hair began to loc faster with water daily. Like any other business I believe Locticians slow down the locking process by tell you to do the opposite of what's in your best interest because it good for repeat busine$$.
I started 3 weeks ago I got on the first week all I did was using water😭
Your too cool🤗
So you currently have 73 locs? Wow it looks more like 40.
Budding doesn't happen the same time right coz 1 month in and some are budding already
depends for everybody, but yeah! some locs will bid before others
Your locs are like plants. Help them grow, feed them and plant the. Love time and patients. Just like your body
I,love your locs, video, please 🙏 keep me posted 📫 okay 👍
thank you! i appreciate it🙏🏾
How many locs do you have ?
73 shawtyyyy
@@thesimoneestelle Yours look great that makes me feel better about my 76 locks! Because my boyfriend said there’s not enough but I have a small head
I’m at 1 month today started April 3rd I think I should wash it more so it can get tangled and nappy so it’ll lock faster
AGREED! of course within reason, but washing/adding water to hair (especially type 4) will loc the hair faster!
I started using water to start
water is the way🙌🏾👏🏾
My 10yr old daughter is day 3 with her starter locs can I add water to her hair while placing a stocking cap on it
So i can put water in my locs everyday?
yes ❤
hi locs it’s a difference her locs did not unravel because her hair is long
Your hair was not buddy at the time. Your hair was just puffy. You can absolutely not, bu,d until you are locked and your hair take months to locs. You are definitely locked now and your hair looks beautiful. Also water does make your hair tangle faster if you just sprites it
Thought I was good for a wash so I washed it two days ago come to find out my hair only love in the back smh so I retwisted the front and I feel like I’m starting all over again 🥺
If it matters now; the back of my hair is locked more than the front so just pray about it
What actually stopped the itch? I’m dealing with this now. Did you continue to spray your hair after you washed it ?
washing my hair stopped the itch. more specifically washing out the product in my hair. what i think happened is my scalp didn't agree with the product used to start my locs (loc and twist gel). once i washing that out and stopped using it i haven't experienced itching like that again.
I stopped putting oil on my scalp and washing my hair on the 1st and 15 th of each month snd my stopped itching tremendously. Now I don’t use oil at all !!!
@@laurenlocd3180 yeah, me either I absolutely love not using oil. Oils is what cakes onto your scalp and attracts so much lint and dirt in the first place
I think it’s the oils that people are putting in their hair. I don’t use that stuff anymore. I just add a little grease one time and just shampoo when it gets dry. Great vid! Subscribed!
@@blu_rey8656 thank you for the follow! i will def have to think about switching up my routine
My starter locs came out when I washed them the first time and had to get it re coiled
did you try the stocking cap method?
Great video! Thanks for the confirmation that water is good for our locs.
I washed my starter locs (comb coils) 2 weeks after the install. Used the stocking cap method along with diluted shampoo in an applicator bottle. A couple of coils came unraveled in the back but that was it. Retwist and go!
That’s what was happening to mine???? I went for my retwist and she combed out and re twisted my ends 🤦🏾♀️
whaaaa??!! i have no idea why they would do that :( did you get comb coils as well?
im 1 week loc’d up n oh mane 😂😂
lolololol what happened?
I was told not to wash my hair for 3 MONTHS!! Yes THREE from a professional that also has locs in her hair 😳 I’m only 10 days in and about about to wash my hair at week 2. I’m so scared. I have comb coils on 3c hair.
3 months 😮? Mine said 4-6 weeks
I’ve never heard anyone with locs say not to put some water on your locs. If anything the hair locs faster. That’s crazy they told you not to
i’m glad you got better advice than me😂 i will say i see less ppl saying not to put water these days as well
