Live From Facebook: How to Keep Your Scalp and Locs Moisturized and Healthy During the Winter 

I just started my locs. I watched too many "loc videos" and I started to feel overwhelmed about growing locs. Then I found this lady and I feel so refreshed. Her videos makes locs fun again for me. Helped me remember why I wanted locs in the first place. Natural! Low maintenance! Beautiful! Long healthy hair!. Thank you. For making videos like this, and for showing people like me. How easy and simple locs can be.

Your client is absolutely gorgeous!! I want to know more about her lifestyle. She doesn’t look 72 at all! Wow!

I had to shout 72 at ma T.V!!!!!! I know black don't crack but this sister is aging beautifully! Her crown looks healthy also! ❤

72 with a full head of beautiful locs and flawless skin. GOALS!

She is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! and she cannot be 72!

The vitamin company is Pure Encapsulations. Thanks Yannie. Welcome back! Speedy healing to you.

I just want to say that I don’t have locs, but bc of you my natural hair is thriving without the products. I use rose water on my scalp and move the sebum with fingers by massage. Bc I wear my hair out, I have to do it often to keep it from getting dry but we don’t need all these products causing us irritation. Thank you!

Your client is very beautiful!! She's the example of a "Queen" she looks Awesome for her age.. 💜💜💜

Oh good goodness, Aunty's hair had me smiling I can't wait to be in my wisdom years. Wow sooooo beautiful!

I no longer use any moisturizer on my Locs. I only use Jamaican Black Castor oil and tea tree oil on occasion (if itchy). I rarely Retwist partly because I don’t have time or just pure laziness. I also have a spray bottle with rose water and spring water to refresh & moisturize my Locs. Seeing this video makes me feel I am doing everything right! My hair is flourishing and I am going on 2 years and 4 months in my journey. Thanks for keeping us “woke”.

She's beautiful at 72 years. Thanks for the info that was given.

I just experienced this. I was thinking it was dandruff until I got my hair clarified and it all came out. That was almost 2 weeks ago, I was over oiling my scalp. So now I know I don’t need to oil often like I was doing!

72 where?!?!? Gorgeous queen! Yannie, I always look forward to your videos. They are very informative and helping in my journey. I found the exact same rosewater on Kroger.com and loving the results. And I only use Jamaican castor oil. Bless up 🙏

Ok God bless! However, how is this beauty 72? Can we please have the diet, skincare routine, and exercise routine too? I'm trying to be this fine in my golden years too 😂

Her hair is so beautiful and she looks fabulous at 72!! Bless her heart.

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL ALL PRAISE

So glad you are back on youtube, and as I said this lady is lovely and so is her hair.

So grateful to see another helpful video! I have had locs for 2 years and I have only followed your healthy loc advice from the jump, they are flourishing.

Yassssss Yannie is back 🌻🙌🏽💕

Yay... Glad to see a video from you. Cant wait to watch it tomro while on the treadmill. :)

This video was very informative, especially the indulgence of Vitamin D part, my Doctor prescribed it to me as well years ago around this cold time of the year it’s very important for my melanin skin and it supports in the decrease of depression. I learned the hard way about coconut oil on my locs 🙃 I dont like castor oil, but I will get jojoba oil. The Rose water method I will try tomorrow ! Thank you so much!

Locs are so awesome. And age means nothing , life is so cool

Yes! I live in Ohio. It's very cold and it isn't even officially winter yet. Since I've gone back to work and work in the cold I've kept my hair wrapped up in my silk bonnet under my cotton hat. When I'm home? Still in my silk bonnet. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! My hair is not dry. My scalp does not itch. I wash my hair once a month in the winter. Been applying rose water and vit e to the roots at night and spraying my head with rose water. MY HAIR IS FLOURISHING AND GETTING NAPPY AND HEALTHY! I am expecting to work with 2-3 inches of new growth to start my loc journey on Jan. 1, 2019 😁

Welcome back!

This Queen has definitely been drinking her water & everythang! Her skin is amazing! & obviously her crown is beautiful

She is beautiful!

Yes!!! A new video on YT!!!!

She’s stunning!!!! And 72 she looks amazing 👌🏾👌🏾💖 and growing old gracefully that’s how I wish to do and have a full head of hair. 😉 Thanks for sharing Yannie Blessings to you. 👍🏾🥰🙏🏾

Yannie you would love my disrespectful hair I haven't had a retwist in 7 months.

Greetings Yannie: Glad to see you back my Caribbean Sister! I have been telling my church members with locs about you and sharing your website and FB page. Continued healing and blessings to you. Peace.

So happy to see you back on RU-vid! Brenda is absolutely beautiful!!!

So glad you uploaded! You give the best advice!

Welcome back!!! please don't leave for such a long time. Peace & Blessings!

I'm so happy to see you back on RU-vid Yannie!!!

I use the black Jamaican castor oil its is the bomb dot com lol seriously and I just started using the rose water I mix it with vitamin e like she said it is amazing my locs are so light and fluffy and they feel soooo goood and not oily and it smells so good. I have to remind myself not to use to much lol , that jamaican castor oil really helped my locs grow and my hair thicken especially around the edges I also stopped retwisting so ofter I was doing it once a month and know I retwist every 3 months after my next retwist I'm going to actually try going 6 months and start interlocing twice a year. Yannie gives the best advice and if you try it and it works for you then do it if not do what works best some times you gotta try it out. I figured out its best 5o stop looking at others locs and just pay attention to your own and what works and boom that's when the magic starts :)

Greetings 😊 Thank you for all you share about our “crowns’. We are Neva too old to learn. Well, no more ‘coconut oil’ for me ... I’m 63 😊 and my Locs are like da elder queen who is 72 yrs young! So thanks for your positive words. U inspire me so much... I’m 9yrs in ** on this journey. You are a blessing! May The Almighty continue to bless you in healing as well. ❣️📖. Much Love

I just re loced my hair 2 months ago. I have 1in growth already. I am interlocking my hair. I use the L.O.C. method on my hair oncw every 3-4... Sometimes 6 days. I literally go days without touching my hair and its growing super fast. I also keep my satin bonnet on. P. S. I drink 3/4 of a gallon of Natural Spring water every day. I get my drinkinh from a free flowing Natural Spring.

Thank you Yannie for your advice and tips. I use the castor oil, rosewater+vitamin e oil spray and that all I use and my hair is flourishing. Feel better ❤

Welcome back. Her hair is gorgeous. 💜

Yannie, it's Dalia, don't pay attention to any negative comments. Some people are just toxic and like to spread it. Your knowledge is needed.

Yay, good to see you back on RU-vid. Love the knowledge you give us Queen!

I'm so glad to see you

Glad to see you again. Yes I do live in New Jersey, and I like to use Olive, and tea tree oil. Also drinking the codliver oil is good for me.

Ayee welcome back my sistah!!🙌🏾🥰✨

I had locs for 14yrs and now I wear my hair natural in twist outs and protective styles and my hair is thick and to my shoulders and it get dry easy and after hearing this I will lessen my washes during this season but my oils of choice is grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, and peppermint oil, but I learn alot, thanks sis

The dry nose thing happens to me. LOVE you Yannie. You are amazingly honest love it

Hi Yannie!! Miss these videos...her hair 😍😍😍! She is gorgeous!

This woman is a Goddess

Beautiful and beautiful hair. Hope my hair looks like that at that age and after

Thank God you’re back!!! I don’t have fb and came across your YT page about a month ago but only saw old videos. My locs are only a little over a year old and have scalp issues. Either way I’ve started taking your advice and I just want to get to you. I’m from the Virgin Islands recently relocated to Maryland and would be willing to travel to be your client.

Missed you Queen , sending blessing for healing

Hello Yannie, thank you very much for your knowledge. I am very happy with how my hair is growing long and strong as I practice self care (mentally, physically, spiritually) and feel healthier from the inside out. Very reassuring your advice for the winter months. Welcome back !

Welcome back glad all is well.

Hi! Yannie Welcome Back!!! Glad you are doing well. I have been missing your video's

I love wild Growth !

her and her locs are beautiful 😍😍😍

Great to hear from you again. Thank you

Really glad you are back. Great video , this will help a lot with my journey. I have been struggling!

So glad to see you back on YT. Your client and her hair is gorgeous.

Welcome back!!!! I missed your videos so much. I'm happy you're recovering, all the best

Glad you’re well and back on the scene to keep blessing us with knowledge to care for our locs.

She looks amazing!

On my 2nd set of locks. Thanks to Yannie my 2nd journey is going better than my 1st. I made so many mistakes the 1st time around. I use to was my hair twice a month and was obsessed with keeping my locks twisted and maintained. Now I wash my hair maybe once every 2 months. I use rose water every day but rarely use oil. I'm very comfortable with my new growth and just let my hair do it's thing.

I definitely need to cover my hair. This is my second set and I feel like it grew so much faster before! Looking forward to more videos!

Glad to see you back!! I also only wash my hair 3 sometimes 4 times a year and I feel as though it grows better the longer you allow your natural oils to moisturize your hair...

Prayers for you!! Glad you’re back!!

Oh my gosh her hair is so long healthy and beautiful. Thanks for sharing

What about people who have thin hair with locs that you can see their scalp. What is the best product to use and for that woman who is in menopause that lack estrogen now.

UpFULL Livity & Strength Sistren... Much GRATITUDE For The Guidance You Provide.. I hope to schedule a consult with you in early January 2019 Continued Healing & Joy m.

Omg my head has been so itchy! I will start using castor oil for my scalp. Didn't realize winter had an effect on my hair! Thank you!

I haven’t even watched the video yet, I just want to add that I’ve been locking for almost 2 years and I only use natural oils in between retwist. NO WATER (only because I’m afraid of mildew) No breaking, no thinning, just regular castor and olive oil do just fine in restoring my dry, stiff hair, but usually I use a mix of a few oils.

I'm so glad to hear you're feeling well. Love the video

Welcome back .. You have been missed

Yannie big up ya self glad to see you're back and always as informative as ever..big up from bk much luv

Happy to see this video! :) I deleted my facebook account and have missed your updates. Thank you much, Yanni.

I’ve beeeen waiting for you to post 💕 much love welcome back

Did not know that about Olive oil ☹️ imma leave it out for a while and see what happens. Thanks for posting Yannie!

Her locs are gorgeous

Ohhhhhhh welcome back !!!!

Welcome back Yannie!

Hello Yannie I'm glad to see you back.I pray you continue to recover and get stronger. I'm knew to the loc journey and have been following your advice with the rose water vit e and things. ? I want to convert my hair to micro or smaller locs due to my fine hair. When I started my Jamacian sis friend did it but as I learn more about the spiritual side It has been heavy on my heart to convert it myself to what I want so I can love them and nurture them with my hands and from my spirit....this may sound strange but I really feel drawn to do this. I'm about 4 months out started as interlocking any tips on taking them down and starting them over.

Glad i found your channel sister ....bless you

She's beautiful and aging gracefully! 😍 2/19/20

Great information... I am from the Carolina’s. I have been searching for someone to start my locs. I may have to travel to Georgia to meet you. I am gonna start a Vitamin D and E regimen after talking with my doctor. I definitely need B12. I have iron problems. I love this please continue what you are doing.

Her hair is beautiful

Welcome back!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Love you so much Queen Yannie❤❤❤.

Yannie!!!!!! 😍🙌🏾✊🏾👑

🗣Welcome back qween.👸🏿 So looking forward to more of your positive posts on U~Tube. 👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾☻

Welcome back yanni

My hair eats up any oil in a day, I do it all and it still it's it up. When I have loose hair it did the same, now with my locs. I don't have 4c hair so a lot of ppl give tips for ppl with 4c hair and not other types.

Happy to hear your wisdom again;)

That ok you talk a lot it GOOD knowledge so KEEP doing the work for the unlearn THANK YOU

I’m happy you’re doing better. I know you don’t focus on the maintenance but would it be possible to do a run down of what situations/hair types would warrant certain techniques?

Stay Soft Fro by Soft Sheen Carson is a good moisturizer. People oils lubricate they don't moisturize.

Yay! You’re back. You inspired me to let my hair loc. You’re videos are informative. You are are funny. Are you ever in Michigan?

Welcome back.

Beautiful sister and Beautiful locs!

Hi Yanni! Glad to see u r getting back into good health. Love your videos. Only thing is, I can't help not mention I'm not sure bout the 3 times a yr loc wash. Isn't that a bit long in between and unhealthy for the scalp etc. Maybe u can do a video to enlighten the likes of me cos I don't enjoyed washing my locs which are down to my bra band bout every 5-6 wks...

Yannie!!!!!
