I really appreciate this video. Have had my locs for 19 years and teansitio ed to free form locs 4 years ago. Used to use tea tree shampoo non residue shampoo for many years. Switched to raw african black soap this year and absolutely love it. The only oil I use when I use oil in my hair is Jamaican Black Castor Oil. And it's like you said. It is truly all that I need. With free form locs, I feel that less is more. I have always had thin natural eye brows. Will try putting the oil on them. Thanks for the late tip and for this video. Peace and blessings from Delaware.
Just found your page i been growing my free forms for 3 years they look good but yours look GREAT😍 going to watch most your videos and try your methods!
@@AmberLoryn , Thank you Amber. I am also 3 years and feel so encourage by your timing of 3 years. I learned through trial and error to leave my Locs to thrive with simplicity maintainece . I am sold on keeping locs moisture not soaked with water but a balance of both oil and fav water, I am not as addicted on product like I was when my hair was loose. I think at some point I may clip the ends to keep the locs stylish and growing in healthy.
New subbie. You are so pretty. Your hair is so thick and full. Your locs are beautiful. I'm 5 mths braid loc'd. My first time hearing someone say that they wash their hair with black soap or any soap. I personally still use shampoo and conditioner. I probably shouldn't be doing that. 😂🤣. Very informative video!! ❤🙏🏻
I had a taper and 9 month old freeform locs just cut the locs off to the length of the taper now and starting fresh cause ik ion need oil and bs that builds up in my hair
what’s ur views on leave in conditioners cuz i feel like i have really dry hair and i don’t like putting cream products but it helps give me moisture that oiling doesn’t on its own. also i have bleached and colored treated hair so that has caused me to have extra dryness
I personally wash my hair once a month. If your hair gets dirty faster then you can do every 2 weeks. Rinsing a few times a week without soap is good for lowering the amount of dirt in your hair in between washes too.
New sub! I would like to try the black castor oil on my scalp to thicken certain area of my locs. I'd like to know if this product leaves any build up? Good content!
I currently live in the U.K. and finding a loctician, where I live is like finding a needle in a haystack. I want to start semi-free form locs, and I'm starting on short 4b, thin hair. I two strand twisted as a trial run and found I can get 60 locs, not too big or small. What products do I use to start my loc's and how often do I wash and re-twist? Thank you.
You should check out my freefrom loc full guide! I explain my entire process from the beginning and how I maintain. I’ve never retwisted so my maintenance will be slightly different than yours, though.
Thank you for posting this video!! I recently started freeform locs and I have some thinning, so your suggestions are appreciated. How do you get combat frizz? Does the soap or oil help with it?
never had a retwist. most of my locs are the combination of 2-5 locs. the combining happened a lot in the first couple of years. they compacted so much that they began to look like regular locs, but they are flat. over the last few months (mid 2023), they started combining again, so now i have groups of 2-4 locs combined at the root. they will eventually combine all the way and be even thicker :)
