I noticed that when my locs were small my scalp would be really sensitive. But now that they are grown out it does not hurt as bad. Also, I wait at least a week before I put my hair in braids. When my hair is not tight it really hurts; but, when they are freshly tightened they hurt even worse. So just remember to wait.
Yes, my scalp is very tender since having microlocs. I can barely stand a loose bun for more than a couple hours. Baby girl did do an awesome job, though.
I literally had two ponytail in yesterday and after about 2 hours I had to take them down! I use a loc to wrap the ponytail to have less tension but oh my goodness that was no help!
I just wanted to say that since shaving my hair any added style other than my natural fro aches. I believe it's because we go so long after not pulling on it that it gets used to being in its natural state. I can't have too many braids and all must be knotless. Btw I was super excited to see this, so creative and beautiful too bad for your scalp though! Nothing beats feeling the water through that head. God Bless Lovely Ladies
I can understand and agree with you on the sensitivity of our natural hair/ scalp! I really loved the braids and dislike having to take them down so quickly…. Thank you for your honest review.,,
I experienced the same. I braided my own hair and lasted 2 days! Never again. My scalp was so sore! Again, I braided my OWN hair so you know I didn't purposely tightened them.
I tried crochet faux locs and I instantly took them out that same night. I do want to try twist on my microlocs I have so much new growth that I'm like okkkk let's try it
That may work! But I tell ya my scalp is just super sensitive and any tension sends it into a frenzy! I hope it works out for you to get some good wear time! I personally want to try the bohemian braids! But idk
My scalp looked exactly like yours after braiding with my microlocs 😂 I lasted about 10 days with the braids and took them out real quick. My scalp was so sensitive as well
I did passion twist over mine and I realized that i have to make the roots loose meaning I can’t grip them like regular loose hair because it would be too tight and my scalp would be too sore
My experience was the same smh, I love my locs, i enjoy switching them up but the braids were a NO Go!! now i had some success once but they were not close to the root more boho looking and i kept those in for 3weeks
@@winedownwithleetheemua yeah, they looked good. But I have not had extension in for the past 2 years. The experience was so bad. I am considering trying knotless braids with Brazilian wool, it's much lighter than regular extentions.
It's best to continue your NATURAL; However it wouldn't hurt in considering (Palm rolling) 2-3 loc's together over your entire CROWN, with less frequent scalp activity. Giving your Crown IT'S Needed; Natural Loc's an opportunity to set, in 1-3 months whichever comes first, you occasionally give your scalp (massages only) with Jamaican black castor oil, hibiscus flowers or your choice of curly moisturizing cream! LEAVE IT BE TO {LOC in its NATURAL CURL} MAT! After it's locked; here is where you begin your grooming, most likely you will appreciate better, so will your scalp, No 300+ Sisterloc's just Natural gorgeous small Loc's...
