@@Souopyyyyyyplease be careful when using water, it will sit in the loc & cause mold if you oversaturate 🫶🏾 everyone’s different when it comes to how often but I def don’t recommend anything like daily
This!!! Before I loc’ed my hair I couldn’t grow my hair. I was always touching my hair…. Loc’ed up my hair a few months ago but decided to go smaller so took the locs out to reinstall n my hair is thicker and has doubled in length! Can’t wait to put them back in.
Yes. Touching your hair too much can cause issues down the line. Example: playing in your hair while sitting around. This may cause the hair to weaken and/or fall out over time. Minimize touching your hair can help the health of your hair. Not saying don’t touch it at all, but to leave your hair alone enough so it won’t break or dry up or worse losing hair. Everyone is different.
This is one of my biggest issues and another reason I’m loc’ing my hair. Anxiety constantly has my hands in my hair, pulling at it, creating knots, pulling/ripping out knots, etc.
Started my loc about 4 months ago and my hair must really love it because my hair is growing pretty fast and my hair locked pretty fast as well. I have a small spot in the back that just won't loc up
Hey Goddess, I think the more your locs get longer/older you do less but when you initially start out it’s team too much! I’m 5 years in and do the bare minimum, plus I still use grease. Only difference is that I take msm, vitamin a&e once a week in my regimen! I’m glad I came across your channel Goddess. Locs just hit different, Issa spiritual journey for me 🥰
Btw a loc sock comes off, and satin makes me hot! I just pineapple my hair and sleep on a t-shirt’ I do the greenhouse effect once a week unless I’m trying to keep my retwist 😎
Thank you! Just cut mine into a short bob du to breakage and it being so many different lengths. Health over length! It feels so much better but now I'm committing to better care so I can grow it out.
@@swipeswiping8061 it’s going great! I haven’t experienced any unraveling with the two strand twists. I’m super excited for them to loc up 😊 I have a video on my channel of how they look, check it out if u want :)
Thank you for this, I went on this journey really blind, but thanks to your videos I can start to see the growth and light at the end of the tunnel, ill be one year on the 16th of this month
I’ve been using the coconut oil , Rose water and Jamaican black castor, since early on in my journey but I’ve never used the aloe vera 🤔🤔 people have always told me my hair is growing fast though I think the rose water and oiling my scalp 💯🤷🏾♂️
I love aloe! I do aloe Vera gel mask on a regular. I grow my own aloe so that I can get the freshest gel. I use it in my hair care products. It does wonders for the hair and skin. You can even use it to lose weight.
I love mixing my aloe and Rose water. Also I use the raw aloe gel for my edge control instead of chemical edge control. Aloe grew my bald spots back from a lady snatching my edges out years ago with too tight braids. Using it now for postpartum hair loss on my edges.
I just started my locs a week or two ago I did instant locs because my hair would take 5 ever to lock and I didn’t wanna wait . thank you for the tips love & omg I feel like Avoiding stress is impossible
I did instant locs too but had to have added hair because my hair is soft. I'm scareddd because you can tell the difference in my hair and the added hair so I'm unsure how it'll look once my hair grows out. How's your journey?
@@bmooremoore4460 I started my locs with added hair too but that delayed my locs journey. Only after taking the added hair out, my locs started to thrive! My hair is soft so kept unraveling from the added hair. My locs aren’t very long yet but the volume of it is lovely, thick and shiny so I guess I can say it’s growing more in volume at this baby stage more than in length! I’m sure it would’ve been further in the journey had I not wasted 6 months with the added hair!
@@HD-xk4ke Yes !! I'm in the process of removing these asap smh and then I'm going to restart by doing the coil method. The added hair instant way was so pointless for my journey
Sammy could you do a “what I eat in a day” or must have food (idk how to word it lol) because imma change my diet and start buying healthier stuff but idk where to start
Meat, fruit, veg, seeds... low carbs(none if possible) (cut out the processed sugar)....however if you must have a cheat night. I have cheat night on sat or friday..where I have a cocktail and make cookies or enjoy ice cream ext.
Water water water. And watch the sugar in the fruit drinks. 1g of sugar is literally one tablespoon full of sugar. Watch the empty carbs and sugar. Vitamins A E D Omega 3 Raw bee pollen pills And if you can stomach it..raw cod liver oil. One of the most powerful on the list. Twice a week for the cod liver or once is fine. Food is energy or energy less 😌
Castor oil alone is too thick for my hair… I had to mix it with lighter oils so it wouldn’t weigh my hair down.. I have fine hair… now I’m using hemp oil and safflower oil..
I add a little florida water to my rose water mix too. I mist my hair daily with it. I only recently started using a natural shampoo bar with neem, coconut, castor oil and other good ingredients. It’s been about three months but my hair has been superrr soft!!
i just retwisted today and i had a whole inch of new growth 😮 i thought it was just unraveling but my mom said there was no gel residue on the new growth compared to my starter locs before i washed it.
I literally haven’t done ANYTHING special to my hair nor do I eat healthy at all I’m not gonna lie. I even let my hair sit in unkept corn rows almost 6 months at a time under wigs 😭 depression anxiety and stress has kept me very low since my mom passed away almost 3 years ago & honest to god my hair has grown like it’s on crack or something 😭 my hair went from right above my shoulders to almost at my waist line now in less than 3 years. Aye idk what the heck happened. I don’t take any vitamins or medicine so idk but THANK YOU GOD! & thank you to my mom and dad genetics. Also I did stop using perms over 3+ years ago.
Mine only 4 years old, I got a undercut so its just my bayang.😂 And people really be askin me this like, my hair doesnt grow fast AT ALL. Love your locs, your length is goals.👌
You should try my all natural ingredients hair care products Royal Crown HairGrowth Oil.(Growth Bundle) Hydrating Mist, Whipped Hair and Body Butta, HairGrowth Oil 🌱🌻
I’m starting my loc journey soon…my hair is shoulder length, I’m natural and I have some heat damage ends. Do you recommend I cut off the heat damage end or just leave it?
I had a little heat damage around the perimeter of my head. I was natural for yearsss and got a Dominican blowout at least 8 months( maybe more) before I loc’d my hair. The ends didn’t loc. They looked raggedy and thin. I cut them off after I started my locs. I started my locs myself. Idk how it would be if you got them professionally loc’d. Good luck on your journey!!!✨
Thanks for the tips… your locs are long and beautiful I heard Haitian black castor oil was good so I bought a bottle and it made my scalp irritated my scalp was so itchy omg never again I’ll continue sticking with the Jamaican castor oil.
You should be fine with monthly steams then boosting to biweekly or weekly (if needed) as your hair matures. See how your locs respond then adjust✨🧚🏽♀️
I went to a professional colorist and she messed my hair up to the max. And I’m trying to bring health back to my hair. And it’s growing but it’s not growing as fast as it use to and every time I get a retwist which is like once a month or once every 2 months. It’s more hair falling out 🤦🏾♀️
Also I just found about a wooden massage comb. And it comes as crystal like rose quartz or jade! I can’t wait to try it. I found it online and it looks like a an acupressure tool but as a comb. Should be fun and relaxed to use!
what about head wraps? is it bad to wrap my starter locs in a scarf every now and then? i've noticed that my hair stretches when i take the scarf down because i put my hair back in a bun before i wrap it. but to revive it i do my spray routine.
