I love your video my aunt has sisterlocs for 9 years and feels that a lot of Loctician are money driven and push for the every 4 weeks. I am 15 months in and I prefer going about 7-8 weeks because I like the fullness. Great video I like the knowledge

@TunisiaAli 5 лет назад

Thank you Beautiful!!

@cocoapeblz 4 года назад

I self retighten I do the back every 4 weeks and wait to do the front every 6. They grow at different rates.

@cyrillalohi7122 4 года назад

Your locs are beautiful and I really enjoy watching your videos! You are very engaging 😊 I agree, 4 weeks is too early and I have hair that grows away from the locs in my front section. However, I can still make it 6-8 weeks before I retighten again. Next time I retighten my hairline I feel like I'll have to say "gentle" over and over to remind myself not to get too heavy handed 🖑

@mylocs792 5 лет назад

I’ve been locked for almost 5 years. I had to start self maintenance because my Locktician retightens my hair TOO FAST and I could hear my hair pop as she would pass the lock through the base. She recommended a 6 week schedule and advised if I did not maintain same I would have BUMPY locs! At first I followed that advice to the letter because I wanted congruent locs!! Then I realized my hair texture would NOT produce a bumpy appearance because I have very soft 4C hair that is perfect for locking and does not bunch!! Now I retighten every 8 weeks and my locs are still uniform and have not thinned out because my hair grows approximately 1/2 per month and the hairs are not shedding/slipping out from base of the lock. That’s my theory at least! Hopefully I won’t experience problems in the future as I’ve been on this schedule for the past 6 months or so. Thank you for another great honest and informative video!!

@purplegirl8036 4 года назад

If you like it, I love it! But if this is the new trend I will take my Cosmo license and do something else. If people like it loose and not tight to the root I’m fine with it but 2 rotations is double the time and it’s not making sense to me. 8 weeks? 1 rotation.

@kimberlykaye4827 2 года назад

@@purplegirl8036 then you should charge more for your service based on hair growth length. Not keep me on a schedule that risks my hair just to keep coins in your pocket

@CRYPTICB3AUTY 5 лет назад

After my install, I went back four weeks later and my consultant pushed me out to 5 weeks. I did that consistently for about a year, then I moved to another state and it took FOOORRREVER to find another consultant who was actually accepting transfer clients so I went 14 weeks before I got back on a 5-week schedule. I personally like getting retightenings every 5/6 weeks. I plan on taking the retightening class so that if I ever have trouble getting an appointment I can at least do it myself.

@Fauntazee 5 лет назад

I've heard & read that you can overly retie, as the constant tension can compromise the roots. I'm 8+mo's in and go every 4 weeks. With over 670 locs, re-ties are a pain in the butt & pocket! The saving grace is that although expensive, my loctician is great. My hair is thick, healthy and averages about 1/4-1/2" growth/monthly (but the shrinkage is Real! lol). Once I reach the 12mo mark, I will insist on pushing out to 5 weeks regardless of what she says. Eventually, I want to get to 7 week re-tie mark. I will slowly begin to learn how to re-tie myself (and NoT by taking the SL class!) to gain control. I absolutely HaTe having to totally rely on someone else to maintain my hair! Thank you for your time and service to us, TnisiaAli, for these informative vids! xox~

@TunisiaAli 5 лет назад

Girl I understand. Just knowing I did my whole head once gave me a sigh of relief. I like self reliance at the end of the day. Just knowing if I ever chose to, I could is assuring. I think your Intuition is solid with a goal of less retightenings. Wow! Wish I had that many locs. I bet they are breathtaking!

@Itsthescorpio 4 месяца назад

I love that this message is still relevant 4 years later. Im 6th months locd and I have a 6 week retie schedule. My hair is shoulder length but mats easy at the root. Its not growing as fast as it would if it were shorter so i can go 7weeks but anything else im pushing it. The longer i wait the more painful the retie. thank you for this

@eem2562 5 лет назад

Hello beautiful queen, I am 9 months post establishment and get my sisterlocs retightened every 5weeks,at my consultants recommendation. Which works for me, mainly because less marrying begins at the roots, which makes the process easier on tender scalp and keeps my crown looking tidy😍😍.

@CWFortune Год назад

I retighten my own hair, and have been since I installed my microlocs two years ago. I retighten when I see growth and when my roots start to nest up. In the summer, I experience a little more growth and loose hair, thus I retighten more frequently, at around 4 weeks. During other months, I retighten anywhere between 5 to 6 weeks, only when I see that my hair is growing and/or feel that it is nesting. I once went 8 weeks in between retightening, and it was so much work to get my hair back on track. I'm not a stickler for my diamond grid, although it is pretty when I do spend extra time to emphasize and highlight it. I have allowed my locs to show me how they want to be, and I retighten accordingly. NO, I do not love the "plucked chicken" lol, I try not to tighten them so tight as to produce that effect, lol. Sending an energetic smile to you and this community you've built!

@lizzie_v 5 лет назад

I Retighten every 6 weeks typically. I do my own so I don’t have to worry about having time for an appointment. I wait until I can put my pinky through the new growth and get a full set of rotations. 6 weeks seems to be the sweet spot.

@beautifulu1474 5 лет назад

I love when it gets older. My hair is fine and I don’t like going every 4-6 weeks. I’ve been in 2 yrs and I don’t like that scalpy look. Some locticians will charge more if they have to do a certain amount of new growth. I’m good for 8 was if no slippage but I’m really just going off my hair

@CherokeeMoor 5 лет назад

I retighten my micro locs every 6 to 8 weeks. I enjoy the polished look as well as the more full look. Since I began my journey a year and a half ago, I was able to shorten my retie time from (3) 12 hour days to (1) 12 hour day. My goal is 6 hours

Thank you so much for this info. I just hit my 8 years in Feb and I notice thinning and my hair has always been thick. Since COVID I been doing it it myself. But before was told to come 4-5 weeks. Yes my grows quick but going that often is stressing my hair. 8 year later no need for it. I'm going to stretch it out more think next time I do it will be 11-12 weeks so my hair has time to just rest and be free. I need my thick hair again like years. By the way your hair beautiful!

My locs turns 13 months on August 31st 👀👀👏👏👏. I have a total of 275 locs; it's done by yours truly... I've retightened about 5 times...haven't retightened for 4 months now n planning on doing it at the end of October or mid-November, which will be a total of 6.5 months or 7. My hair is growing nicely n very healthy. I wash them every 2 months; workout 5-6 days a week. I'm doing keto n lead "A Fasting Focused Lifestyle". I take collagen, biotin, digestive enzymes, Bounty Hair, Nails and Skin Vitamins, Dematecus powder, etc. First time commenting on your videos by the way.

@MimaHope 5 лет назад

Hi Tunisia ~ Initially I was on a 4 week retightening schedule, followed by 6 week retightening schedule. Currently, I'm on a 8-10 weeks retightening schedule. I took the retightening class; however, I prefer to go to my consultant because it takes me about a week to finish my entire head. I have a tendency to create knots in my locks. I have been locked for 7 years. I paid $125 and she takes approximately 3 hours if I stick to 8 weeks. If I go beyond 8 weeks, it may take her longer to complete my retightening session.

@jacquiet5098 Год назад

Wow, I'm about to start my journey and like your retightening time! What state are you in?

@MimaHope Год назад

@@jacquiet5098 Thank you for your post and question. I live in Florida. I can't tell the date of my initial post. My current retightening schedule 6 weeks, and the service fee is $200. The loctician is done in less than 4 hours. I reached 10th anniversary in March 2022.

@jgayle01 5 лет назад

My establishment was in December 2018. I've been on a 6 week regimen. I went to 8 weeks only once and I regretted it. My hair is Brillo pad thick, probably 4B. Ironically, my nape unravels EVERY time. Its is super soft. My loctitian made them bigger and gave me a locking spray to try and keep them this time. But if I went every 4 weeks I probably wouldn't have enough new growth and I think I'd end up spending more money in the long run.

@TunisiaAli 5 лет назад

Hey lady!! Always a pleasure. Thank you for sharing!

@nikki16ize 3 года назад

I’m 2 weeks in so my loctician told me to come back 5 weeks later so sticking with that for now. I’m tender headed and she knew that day one so she tries to be very gentle with my hair and I appreciate my tender scalp cause it lets me know when to much pressure is being used on it.

@specklesandlocs604 3 года назад

I've had them for one month, and I had to retightened them with two weeks, on the 26th of freaking Dec 2022, and Here it is the 6 of January 2023 and I need another retighten, I have no idea if this is normal as I don't have a stylist, so is my hair growing that fast?!, I am doing it all with help from people like you and other experienced You tubes.

After I went in for my free reti she suggested every 4 weeks but her reti fee is $150. So I showed my girlfriend how to reti my hair. I’m on the schedule with every four weeks with one rotation. I think I may push it to every 8 weeks after my 1 year Ps She’s a certified trainee :) but her time isn’t fast enough

@purplegirl8036 4 года назад

JazLytrice please don’t focus on time. As a Sisterlock trainee I see the breakage fast locticians do. It’s physically impossible to do a neat job with these unrealistic timings. 8 weeks will cause marrying and breakage. People are just slipping in and out of your hair snapping the other hairs that hold your locs together. They don’t care. Yes I want my money too but I want my work to be neat. I have hair down to my butt. Everyone wants to know how. Well I’m super gentle and loving to my hair so I don’t believe in rough housing other people’s hair. People think married locs are normal. No, it’s the last resort. Read the book. I’m sure your gf has it or has took notes on it.

@trecey920 5 лет назад

I have braidlocs which is almost the same. I did and retighten my own braidlocs. I am doing videos on the updates every other month. I'll be a full year in October. Yess I retighten my hair kinda often. Because when they gets old or after I"ve washed them hair is on the outside of the braid, and my edges be kinda loose like they going to come apart then next thing I know I've retightened my whole head. I need to go to retightening rehab 😂 it seems like it gets tighter at night. while I'm doing it, it doesn't feel like that.

tracey920; I've experienced the same! Had a retie & it felt fine; but once I got home, my head was on FiRe! I then advised my Consultant to do one rotation less and I never experienced that again. So perhaps you're actually tying too tight(?). Keep in mind what Tunisia Ali said in the vid, "it could be months down the road B4 over tightening damage can be seen (then it'll be too late) :) Wishing you well~

My Loc are 8 yrs old. I have been Retightening since COVID. Since I’ve been Retightening, I’ve been I’m doing it more often so it doesn’t take so long to finish. When I was going to my Sister Loc tec, I went about every 7 weeks, Now I’ve learn something, I don’t have as much breakage. Is it because I’m doing it more often or it’s not being Retighten with lesser tension? I’m not sure. But when I start back going to her, I think I will go every 4-5 weeks. Your Loc are beautiful!

@TunisiaAli 2 года назад

That's an amazing observation. I just spoke about something similar in my video today about 'Questions you must ask your regular loctician'. Hopefully, it will post in the bext few days. Ultimately I feel the quality of the reti is a bigger threat than the frequency. This depends on WHO is doing the RETI and HOW they are doing it. It is likely due to your gentleness that your frequency isn't an issue. Love it!!!! Give it a shot and keep an eye on it once returning to her. It can be the difference between hair loss and hair growth. Thanks for sharing!

@bj77755 5 лет назад

Make sure you are not putting any oils on your hair, band and braid when you wash your hair and wash very gentle and low flow water, and try to keep your hands out of your hair, little or no manipulation for the first six to seven months. Enjoy your journey..

I do have an issue with keeping my hands out of my head so I'll try not to do that and I only started using oils after I hit a year because of how dry my scalp is and I only use oil after I wash (I wash my hair twice a week but I only oil it once since my consultant oils it after my retie). I think I'll wait until I'm close to my 2 year before I change how often I get my reties 🤔

@TunisiaAli 5 лет назад

Wow that's a toughie!! Hmmmmm....the front of my hair gave me challenges too. That's why a few months ago I took 3 areas and added an extension to keep it from.unraveling and also to give it a chance to grow and lock. As long as my locks are I've had serial locks that will just NOT do right! LOL! This has allowed the soft hair at the front to have a chance to lock without constantly coming out. Everyone is not willing to do this, but I felt I had to do something.

@Fauntazee 5 лет назад

@@solangeWilliams WoW, you wash twice a Week?!? I wash twice a Month. Do you braid&band? I'm new at this (8+mos in) but perhaps that is why your scalp is dry. You're not giving your scalp time to build up sebum. Especially when I'm on a H20 drinking craze, I can feel the natural oil (sebum) in my hair. Making it shiny, moist feeling (not dry like straw), and healthy looking. Additionally oil can cause slippage; but your Consultant recommends it, so I cannot over-ride her. Other than a few drops of essential oils I put in my spray bottle (which I only use periodically), I do not oil my scalp/hair (but when I was loose natural, I oiled as if there was a fishfry in my head). After about 2 mo's after install, my head started making it's own natural oil-sebum (the more H20 I drink, the better). My scalp is not dry, flaky, itchy (I understand each head is different, but just trying to offer a tip or two). Only daily products I use is alkaline water or rose water w/o glycerin. I use my essential oil spray about once a week. Wishing you well! Good luck! But I'm in same boat as you regarding edges slipping out. Top forward still has loose ends; back loose ends are locking up. My consultant just keep putting my edges right back in, and they are taking hold.

@solangeWilliams 5 лет назад

@@Fauntazee twice a week is twice for the month hun (there's 4 weeks in a month) lol. And my scalp has always been dry no matter how much water I dry (I drink half a gallon every day ). It's just my texture of hair and I'm ok with it now. My edges don't come out completely but they are the first to loosen by the root which is why I feel I have to go every month cause I don't want them to come completely out. I'll have more patience with them and if by year 2 (in 6 months) they don't want to stay put, then I'll do what Tunisia said above 🤷🏾‍♀️. Thanks for the advice 😁

@Ewright215 2 года назад

Hello! I am 4 years in and I got my reties every 6 weeks, I started seeing thinning in my crown area 2 years ago, but I was dealing a with stressful job and family issues. Covid happened which made the stress return. I found a wonderful consultant and got reties every 5 weeks, thinning has returned but Not sure if it’s the reties or the events that has me thinning again.

@TunisiaAli 2 года назад

What makes rhe consultant great? Is there anything in the technique that could be contributing? On the other hand stress is real. It's time to arrest the situation b4 it gets worse. Determine if you are able to nourish hair more and regrow in areas. This is key before the follicles die or you scar. Www.iammelaninmagic.com

@Ewright215 Год назад

The consultant listened to my concerns and we agreed that my thinning may have come from frequent retightening and stress. Since I left the comment, I have now started my own retightening in the crown areas and I’m seeing growth. I retie only when I feel it’s time. However I get the back of my hair retied every 6-8 wks from my consultant.

I installed this past March. I’ve been tightening as they slip from shampooing and daily spraying. Oiling my scalp too. I took pics today and my crown has thinned a lot.

@KobeLocs 3 месяца назад

I established my starters by interlocking about 1.5 months ago. When I shampoo or wet my hair every day, some of my interlocks have large slippages, like they are about to come loose. I find myself tightening them almost daily, but leave about 1-2 rotations from the roots. This sometimes results in me marrying locs so I have to take them down and restart them. What’s your professional opinion on the tightening when they slip?

It can be difficult to say. You need to stop the slippage, but there is likely more to your story that woukd be meaningful to consider. ✨Take the RIGHTEOUS Hair Course butterfly-transformations.teachable.com/courses/righteous-hair Sign up for the I Am Melanin Magic DISCORD group to communicate OPENLY as a collective about your loc experiences and share your services, reviews, videos, challenges and triumphs! discord.com/invite/rdVSGW2K3M Watch the YT video dedicated to all of my loyal subscribers and IAMM customers ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AxIyQDrvmM4.htmlsi=fd4moxrkMZ8-JYJS

Thank you for your information it’s my first week of sisterlocs I am used to wash my hair once a week how long do I wait to wash should I wait by 6 weeks or earlier I did not asked my lady who did my sisterlocs I got it done in another state ! How long before I color my hair I have a few grays that are directly in front of my hair? Please reply ASAP thank you 🙏

Initially WAIT!!!!! Call her back and see what she suggests. I believe I was told wither 4 or 6 weeks, BUT Braid and Band and don't be rough. Be very gentle. Don't budge without braiding and banding first. DO NOT use regular shampoo. It will be too softening, most of them. Reconnect with her and she what SHE says since she did the install. That would be my first option, before entertaining anything else. Normally, a new install comes with the Sisterlock shampoo that roughens the cuticle (I think) or they suggest you buy it. I use Dr. BRONNERS and mix with 1 parts shampoo to 3 parts water. If I were at the beginning I would greatly the ration of water to shampoo 4:1 probably.

What do you think is causing the thinning and how long have you had your locks?

@@TunisiaAli Hello Tunisia I don't know why my hair is thinning.l do use oils on scalp and hair but not the oils you used. I've had my Sisterlocks for 6 years but my gray hair is dry with some breakage at the scalp so i went and bought all the ingredients to make the shampoo and the oils for my scalp and hair going to give them a try.I'm new to your channel thank you.

@TunisiaAli 5 лет назад

Ahwww nice sweet spot. Unsure about breakage on the ends if your hair wasnt permed oreviouskybor colored.....hmmmmmmm......that's strange. Any chemical treatment? I wonder if it could be excessive dryness or hard water?

@2280lilly 5 лет назад

I'm not sure maybe dryness and I do dye my locks. And I will be trying the treatments you gave.
