My locs were in DESPERATE need of TLC, so it was time to give her a refresh. Join me in this video as I dye & retie my microlocs. She's looking brand new! I also made sure to specify the difference between the "H" & "Y" that I refer to during my retightening sessions. I hope you enjoy this video and be sure to leave any questions or comments below!

Hair stylist here: Sis, you just need 10V developer because you're just depositing colour (not lightening). You're blasting open your hair cuticles a d causing unnecessary dryness. Your hair is thriving❤❤

I was one year loc'ed at the beginning of this month . I just combed my locs down this week and started over because I didn't like how they looked. My parts weren't neat and when they would "marry," I would mistakenly interlock them together. I also had holes in my locs. It started looking messy!!! This video came right on time. Thanks sooo much!!!!💜 I love your locs and color by the way. I use Clairol hi lights in RED. It's been a year since I colored my hair. The color is at the tips of my hair, and it is fading. I will color again soon, but I'm waiting until my locs mature. Maybe I will color again this time next year.

You seem really quick with your retie. Amazing 🔥any tips for speed please? I have about 450 locs and it takes about a week for me (few hours each day). Also how do you prevent buildup when you use that twisting paste please?
@KekeJ
@KekeJ 2 месяца назад
I’ve definitely gotten faster. Speed for me came as my hair matured. There’s less steps I have to take now vs my earlier days (no unraveling, no separating married locs, etc.) for me the speed came with time. I honestly still think that’s too long lol but I’m working on beating my previous time each session. As for the buildup, I haven’t experience any with this product. I only use oil, water and rose water for my moisture routines. The less products you use the better. I also use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of any build up. I hope this helps! ❤

You make me laugh SO HARD! I love your channel! I am a licensed cosmetologist 30 years now and a loctician. Lisssten. The volume of any developer is processing time. ALL of it is just as damaging if you don’t watch your time. In saying that, you’re fine with 30 volume dev with a permanent blue black as long as you want to process your color faster. Next time, invest in 20.

It typically takes me 10-12 hrs to retie if I do it in one session 😅 my boyfriend says I should split up the time between days so I’m not wrecking my shoulders. Any tips or suggestions on how to get faster?

On one of your earlier vids, your front locs were unravelling a bit. What did you do in the end? Have you had to merge them. I've been locked for about 8 months now, and the front row is the enemy of prgress 😂. I've added extensions to mine but I'm thinking about just merging them

Do you lay something down to protect your countertop? I normally put plastic grocery bags down on the countertop and in the sink while I'm working. It's makes for easy cleanup. You just throw away the bags when you're finished. I also have a black t-shirt that I only wear when I color my hair and I use an old black t-shirt to dry my hair.
