Locs do not make your hair grow faster! Let me explain | debunking loc myths part 2 

You are so welcome! Thank you for being here!

I started my loc journey 2 days ago with two strand twist

It’s my pleasure!! So many people have this misconception in mind when starting locs 🥲

I think that is what people mean when they say it, but I still disagree that your hair speeds up in growth after getting locs.

Thank you so much!! That means a lotttt. I'm loving them!

Hearing that never gets old 🥹 it really is my pleasure to help! 💕

Glad it was helpful! Yea, that's the motivation for this series. Clients bring misinformation all the time into the salon. I find myself constantly correcting people!

Awww, so sorry to hear about your accident! I’m glad my videos have been helpful, and hope you’re able to start as soon as you’re ready 💕

It’s my pleasure!!

Welcome 🤗 I’m glad you’re here too! ♥️ I hope everything goes well!

You are so welcome! Blessings to you on your loc journey!

Congratulations on starting!!

Thank you 🥺🫶🏾

How did you recover from alopecia? I think I'm experiencing that as we speak. I have a doctor's appt later today to find out for sure.

@@Antoinette922 I was diagnosed with CCCA about 10 years ago. Thankfully I went to the dermatologist early so I didn’t lose all my hair. Ive gotten steroid scalp injections as well as used topical steroid ointment. I’ve stopped the steroids but they are probably what initially saved my hair. I went mostly plant based, I do intermittent fasting, exercise helps promote circulation also. I let go of relaxers…no chemicals, no heat, no weave, no braids, no tension. Just 2-strand twists. I use only vegan hair products. Soultanicals is my holy grail. The line is black-owned and it’s pricey but it’s helped my hair so much. I also use a pomade by Qhemet Biologics with MSM and Biotin that stopped my scalp burning and helped my hair to grow. I’ve probably tried every potion and lotion and oil ever made for hair loss. Oh, and a whole lot of prayer. I’m still a work in progress but I’m at peace. When I was first diagnosed I was absolutely devastated. I’ve come to the realization that even if I lost all my hair it won’t be the end of the world. We’re so much more than our hair. I wish you all the best. Find what works for you. Be blessed.

@@Antoinette922how did your appointment go?

I understand how disappointing it can be wanting locs while experiencing hair loss, so I hope things get better. It's not always impossible. I have clients who have alopecia and have locs that they love.

It's my pleasure to share

It's common for textures to change as we age. You will likely need to use a different method for starting than you've used before!

Hi! Here’s my hair when I started: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N5NCaYqeJvE.html - and I’d recommend at least 3-4 inches

Hi, thanks. And no they don’t cause lice

Hi! I love design essentials but that one DOES detangle well. I’d say not to use it unless ur hair has matured

@@CourtneyGrayton thank you sooooooooo much for replying! Love your channel and insight you've taught me a lot! May God bless you.

Please moisture your hair...dry hair leads to breakage. I have locs

@@chinamason6294 I see why she told me not too. This first wash has made my hair turn into an Afro with loc ends

​@Yslquan yes during like the first 6 months use a stocking cap so they don't unravel...but honestly it's apart of the process. I'm almost 2 years and I still get unraveling

That’s common. Your hair is still loose so that’ll happen! If you can get a style, do that so you can moisturize more often

it depends on your texture but it should be okay

Oh yes you can expect tremendous growth! I’m excited for you 🥹

@@CourtneyGrayton yay!!! Thanks!😁

Happy to hear that!

Thank you! No, I’m in Maryland

Wow! Thanks for the quick response. Ok, what about video consultation. But, your location is still not that far. I have thin, fine low density hair in spots on my head. I combined my sisterlocks 3 years ago, but got bigger locks that are now heavy and I hate the parting. I don't mind starting over.

@@GB-sd8th yes! I do offer those and I’d love to help you out 🥹 www.vagaro.com/hairgoalswithcg

Great!!

It’s my pleasure 💚 & That sounds good! Just monitor how it affects your hair so you know if it’s actually helping

Thanks very much for your response 🙏🏻

Just as I mentioned in the video, you are retaining length because you leave it alone. Your hair is not magically growing faster.
