Locs By Yannie started in 1998 on the beautiful twin islands of Trinidad & Tobago because there was and still is a need for natural 'Locs Care' free of chemicals, dyes, gels, or any unnatural products or processes. Being born into the Rastafarian culture and lifestyle our work is not about techniques for Locs. Though we have a knowledge of five innovative processes designed to manage your locs without the use and harm associated with clips, hair gel or heat from hair dryers and other unnatural products and processes that will cause breakage and damage to your hair and scalp, our passion is to help ALL our clients obtain and maintain healthy Locs, the natural way.
The people of Georgia area will miss U - I hope I can get in to visit and get You to do my Loc’s and tell me all I’m doing is healthy or need change to increase thickness and healthiness- ❤️❤️❤️ U & Hubby Man - Jimmy- take good care of yourself
The first lady's locs only look like her new growth grew away from her locs in the front. They Just need to be added back to the original locs. The sister has micro locs so those locs thrive on a different maintenence schedule. They don't need to be tight, but they have to be done often enough to keep the roots and newgrowth, together in each respective lock. If you wait too long to touch up new growth on micro locks. Y you can find yourself with a tangled mess in the roots and you can find yourself having to do a lot of repair to your luck locs because they may have the tendency of thinning out from the new growth, not staying with thee original loc. Simply put micro locs require a different lock maintenance schedule than traditional locs and that does not make them inherently weak or bad they're just different, but they can thrive just like all other locks can. If a person has very fine hair, they may want to do their new growth once a month or once every other month. They have to do something or their locs may thin out because of new growth, straying away from the original loc. I have braidlocs that are about the size of the sister's locs in this video. I tried to go 4-5months without without redoing my new growth and all I ended up with was a tangled mess of locks that in some areas we're thinning out because the new growth wasn't staying incorporated in the original locs. So now when I wash my hair and let it air dry, I feel around my roots to see which one's have new growth and I redo them if they have a 2 fingertip width Of new growth, i've been doing that for over 17 years and I have not lost one loc on my head, not one. Due to postpartum situations, I've had my hair thin out around the edges, and that all has recovered over time. Layer, due to hormonal changes. I've had different parts on the top of my hair get finer, but as I massage and try different oils I've found that even those areas have gone back to normal. I think it's important to watch what's going on with your health and pay attention to all areas of your scalp. Sometimes, if you have high blood pressure that that can cause the top back of your hair to be thinner. I found out that I had sleep apnea I found that sleep apnea can cause high blood pressure for some women after menopause, and that was the reason for my hair being thinner in certain sections. All that now is in better control now thank God. You have to stay on top of your hair so that you can keep it healthily flowing and growing from your scalp. Blessings family.
Hi Yannie and Jimmy I follow you from a small-town in South Carolina. I love your information. I started my locs in 2019 . I been following you for years.
I have Graves Disease and Hyperthyroidism too, I had similar symptoms that worried me and hence went to the doctors. Almost a year later, I have accepted it and now doing things to help ease symptoms for myself. I get reactions to my meds, but if I dont take my meds my hyperthyroidism gets worse. Its been a mental endurance battle dealing with taking meds that helps, but creates other symptoms (i.e., skin rash that itches like crazy, weight gain, gut issues etc). Coincidentally, I clicked on your video about Lumpies in dreads and subscribed immediately, because I have lumpies in my dreads. But how precious to know we share a similar journey with having an autoimmune disease. Thanks for speaking out, I mostly do not talk about my symptoms and always feeling exhausted. Its nice to hear that someone understands what its like to live with it. I'm thankful its helped me to reflect alot more on things that matter to me and doing things at a different pace. However, also on most days, my mind still says I'm too young for this shizx 😂
I prefer to focus on my hair health instead of obsessing over aesthetics or worrying about loose hairs showing. It brings authenticity to my locs having a lot of imperfections like lumps and bumps.
It was beauty at first but after the thinning and balding it became Healthy hair. Can’t wait to come back to you and Jimmy in GA. It’s been a while. My schedule has been crazy.
I am a white guy who follows you from Spain. I'm currently on my third loc journey and it's been 4 years growing my locs, they almost reach my waist. My maintenance routine basically consists in keep them separated to avoid congos, wash them every few months, and crocheting myself the new growth every 8 months.
That wasn't Saul, by the way... it was Samuel. His mother was Hannah, and his father was Elkanah. The account of Samuel's conception, birth, and very early childhood is found in 1 Samuel 1:1- 3:21. ❤
Hi Yannie and Jimmy. I'm following from the Netherlands and been following Yannie for 10 years. Back then I was still a loose natural but I always knew that I wanted locs, so I've been taking in your advice and enjoying your content before I finally took the leap. Next month I'll be loc'd for 4 years.
Hi Yannie, I'm from Philly. I have my locs for 30 yrs. I've been watching you for a few years. I need to see you , I'm a senior. Love your teaching us about our locs . Blessings Peace 😊❤🙏
I’m watching from the metro Atlanta area. I’m on my second set of locs. I started with two strand twists last August. They’re already locked. You can hardly see the pattern of the twists. Can’t wait to make it to a year so I can be blessed by you all.
Buffalo New York. I've been following you and your advice about Locs for 10 years. I've told all my friends to follow Yannie She will keep your hair on your head😂. #disrespectfulhair
