WHAT!?! Drop that link Sis ! I need that. Does it smell like peppermint oil? I really don't like the smell of Jamaican black castor oil. Does the peppermint oil make it smell better?
great video Nia! And I would love to see a video about Loc inclusion within the natural hair community, I'm here for the tea. Looking gorgeous as always :D
I agree, glad you do wash the edge control out each time you use it. Edge control promotes concrete buildup, seriously. I can tell when my customers have used it because their new growth all over requires two full 4 point rotations on all other locs until I get to the edges
Thank you for the great information, your hair is gorgeous and looks so healthy. I wished I had done my sister lots sooner I love them sooooo much, my husband didn’t like it when I started my journey but I let him know honey I’m out being disrespectful but I did this for me, he said well I guess you told me yep I did and to put the icing on the cake two beautiful young girls followed me around the grocery store and asked me how did I start my locks and how beautiful they are, I was so happy and grateful that my hair was complimented with my hubby there. Where did you purchase your Alikay products?
Glad to see the return of your signature Red Nails!!! For the last few videos your nails were neutral color - cream or silver tone ... will try Black Jamaican Oil on my front edge. When is your Wine Review ? 🥰
I hear you on the representation, I think the lack of that we see is because many “natural” care products aren’t suitable for locs. At least that’s what loc gurus say about the products 🤷🏾♀️
Thank you so much for leaving this comment =) I definitely see that as being a case in some instances, at the same time many of these big brands like Carols Daughter, Alikay Natural's, Shea Moisture, Cantu, and others have body care lines now. If they truly believe that none of their products will work for locs, I would like to at least see some of us in advertisements for their body care lines. Also, your profile pic is so bomb. It looks so creative and cute !
@@Niaimani92 Aw thank you!! .... I can defiantly see the issue from the perspective of their wider range of products... show all of “us” not just the twist outs and wash n go’s
Have you tried the blinking owl wine from Aldi? I love the price point. It’s 1.99 in Cali, and they have several types. I have tried all of them and enjoyed them as well.
Your body looks great, Nia! I need a workout regimen for sure! Im wondering if steam would help or hinder my locs since I'm so new into my journey🤔 thank you always for the wonderful video ❤❤❤ Edit to add: do you like using the eucalyptus bush in your shower?
Thank you so much. I LOVE using eucalyptus in the shower! You can also add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to the bottom of a shower to get a calming eucalyptus scent throughout your shower.
Where I live, finding good loc products is near impossible. The range at the stores is virtually non existent and the loc brands We see have to be bought from other countries so shipping and customs is through the roof. I look forward to the day where I can walk into the store with an aisle full of loc products 😿
I am so sorry to hear that. I honestly feel like some of these very large multi million dollar natural hair companies need to make products for locs, because locs are natural hair too.
Kind unrelated to the video lol but do you feel after you get a retightening your forehead looks bigger than usual? I’ve only been lock since July 2020, so I’m still getting used to seeing myself with locs. And because I’m not used to all my edges being snatched up in a loc (not tightly) lol it feel like my forehead looks huge. And then as weeks go by, it’s not as bad because the new growth is coming in. But it freaks me out because I’m thinking is my hairline moving back? 🤔 or is she just getting all my edges lol
That's really interesting, so I have had people retighten my locs too tight, to the point that I had a cut in my head. I would say trust your intuition. Maybe you could share your concerns with your loctician, or you could see another loctician and ask for their opinion on the situation.
Oh no =( I am going to send you a DM on instagram. I really appreciate your support. I wish you got this discount. I am going to send you something special.
Thank you so much. It is called Alikay Naturals 17 Essential Growth Oils. I buy it at Target. I put a link in the description box with their website. You can purchase it online from the link =)
Thank you! Sis I am looking for one like mine too lol 😂! I just have one and any time I can’t find it’s so frustrating. At first I thought I bought it at the beauty supply store, but I can’t find them there. I looked on Amazon and I’m Pretty sure this may be like the one I have www.amazon.com/Large-Silky-Bonnet-Elastic-Natural/dp/B07WK9WRLR/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=satin+bonnet&qid=1626999633&sprefix=satin+bo&sr=8-3
Great video as always Nia 👍🏾noticed you leaned forward and gathered locs to the front when putting on bonnet... is that better than putting bonnet straight down on locs? 🤔 Continued Blessings 🙏🏾
@@Niaimani92 Hi Nia 👋🏽 HAPPY MONDAY 😊 💖 thanks much for responding to my comment... truly appreciated 👍🏾 I just celebrated one year lockaversary 🎉💞🙌🏾🎈 will try putting on bonnet this way to see if it helps with volume vs. waking up to "bed head hair" 😱 Thanks again for responding and have a Blessed Day 🌞
