Really helpful information. Thanks so much! Sometimes my locs are hard but I've noticed that they soften up whenever I shampoo and use a rinse out conditioner. Also, I often don't drink enough water so dry locs remind me to ramp it up!🥰
Great information. Thanks so much. I love Sauve clarifying shampoo. I mist periodically with distilled/rose water mix or distilled water/tea tree oil mix. They both leave such a fresh fragrance.
You are so welcome! Yep, Suave Clarifying shampoo is one I always recommend. And I'm glad you use distilled water with your mixtures. So much better for the hair.
This is GREAT content! Pass the plate bcz that was a preach/teach hunty👏🏽👏🏽 My consultant (God love her) had me dry out the gate and I came color treated red at install. I was at 18 mths and she kept telling me no moisture even when I asked for SL reconstructer. Whew my locs were parched and started snapping. When I moved to FL a few mths ago I KNEW I had to do something so I started using Basic leave in condish and hair oil to my scalp and bam it so much better but I have to pay now to have those locs repaired.
I am so glad I found your channel. I am newly loc’ed and love all the info. I don’t have sister locs but understand that this info applies to locs in general. Thanks for sharing. Please keep the videos coming!
Welcome!! I welcome all loc journey and help everyone with locs. The information I provided doesn't cater to just sisterlocs. I include the whole loc family.
Definitely!! And mess around and not shampoo, put on a bonnet at night, have colored locs...your locs will really be having a "hard loc life" ... lol don't mind me lol
I just came across your channel and you have given me more info than my locticians. I have been loc'd 1yr and noted thining in certain areas of my locs, holes and no one has ever told me to moisturize
Thank YOU ☺️ Cause I was suffering with hard locs for the last years waiting on my bonnets from you you so great Thank you I will start washing it more and using less products
Good information. I don't suffer from hard locs. No color, yet lol. My hair is soft Naturally and I have a loose curl pattern. When I do color I'm going to keep these things in mind. 💚💚💚
I knew I was doing something right I have always shampooed my hair every 1 to 2 weeks even now with locs I still do my family & friends will try to tell me I wash my hair too much if I listen to them my locs would be dry & dirty
Thank you for this. I’ve been binge watching your videos since I found you 😊. Especially now with my hair lightened. Question. What do you think about Mielle pomegranate and honey leave-in? I started using every couple days since lightening. Do you think its too thick? Afterwards spray Aphogee Keratin Green tea reconstruction, which is light. So far no buildup but dont want problems in future.
Thank you for tips. I do wish you would have talked a little more about moisturizing colored locs. And please show up the conditioners you use as I have been locked a year and a half and have not test conditioned my locs, but I will this weekend.
I washed my hair from the beginning of locs every 2 to 3 weeks. The longest i have gone without washing my hair was about 4 to 6 weeks. I guess it was a week or 2 after I got back to the US. i was literally messed up with jet lag. Never again.
So for me, the reason my hair was dry was because of blow drying. ( I was using a hooded dryer attachment and everything!) Unfortunately, it's absolutely a necessity that I blow dry because it's currently cold in state where I live. The way I remedied this was by using a conditioner on wash day and by blow drying my hair to slightly damp and letting it air dry the rest of the way. Do you have any tips to blow drying completely dry but where the hair still feels supple afterward?
@@ms_e yes, winter makes our hair extra dry. Here's a video that talks about winter loc care ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-myvsbLWB5RI.html
Do you have clients with scalp issues while wearing locs? If so, will you do a video on how you instruct them on wash maintenance and the locing process? Hope this question makes sense.
Yes, I can certainly a video on that. Here is one video of a client talking about her psoriasis and how she cares for it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OzJKX_eVu6I.html
Thank you so much.... so i need to start using shampoo and not just conditioner, and get a satin bonnet.... This was great news. Oh and I color my hair black every 2 months to color my grays, so I will get some water base leave in conditioner. Thank you again.
I am honestly not the best person to ask. I've only used SL products and salon products on my locs. I really didn't get to play in other products like that with my locs. But my clients rave about Taliyah Wajeed brand so that's something to consider.
Love your videos, I’m in the process of doing DIY locs and was wondering if you can do a video on cutting your locs to keep them at a certain length. Can this be done with locs? Thanks for all the information you provide.
Thank you! I am not sure if I completely understand the question but watch this video to see if it answer any of your questions or concerns. If not, please don't hesitate to ask me to clarify. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Fgd-8CyYWiM.html
Hey , I have interlocks and my locs are hard in the back … I wash like once or twice a month😢 I put leave n conditioner every other day and oil 3 times a week😢
Hi Pauline, my sisterlocks feel like Brillo pads. The cuticles feel raised and rough. I noticed a change in texture after putting on a rinse to cover grays. I shampoo every 2 weeks using sisterlocks shampoo and use a spray bottle with rosemary and jojoba oil. Help please.
Hey, so color does loosen the texture a bit and raises the cuticles. Are you completely locd? If so, shampoo your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. This is one of my faves (amzn.to/3na0BR9). The spray mixture you use it fine, I would just make sure to use distilled water instead. Hope this helps.
Hi! I'm 3 months sisterlocked and wanted to know if you've tried locsanity rosewater? The peppermint mixture has a murky look to it. Would you recommend this product? My concern is that it may cause buildup. Thx.
I think imma go back to using oils! Lately I’ve been a one product (shampoo) and a mist of rose water & water type of girl and i feel my locs are dryyyy.
Congrats on your new journey! Water always loosens up the hair. So I would recommend shampooing more often if it's not every two weeks and use a water base leave-in conditioner that you can mist your hair with daily or every other day. This video will help you with conditioners (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-edg_hqego9s.html)
After showering can I take my shower cap off Of course there is steam in the bathroom after showering I love hot showers I take shower cap off after a few minutes of course they’re still steaming their will it hurt my hair my sister locks
The ends of my locs are so itchy & irritate my neck nape 🫠. Tryna hang in there and not cut them off 🥹 I want them like soft pillows..tell me how? Wish I would've known about loose ends. May have been a better choice than nubs. Can I cut to make ends loose?
Just keep them tied up in a pile on top of your head. Use the rose water Dash of tea tree oil/ carrots oil Jojoba, coconut, olive oil, clove oil every 3 days or so to soften. Stop all chemicals or twisting gels. 😊
