I’ll be locked for 2 years in August. I’ve lost 4 sisterlocks. I was devastated. My loctician said losing locks is no big deal. She also says it part of the process. If she’s not worried, I’m not gonna worry either.

I remember the shed hair bulbs being visible when I had locs. I used to dye my hair so it wasn't as noticeable. I believe using henna is more natural, and may work for you. I can see these bulbs with my daughters locs, buts she's only 8, so dye is not an option, plus she hasn't noticed them yet. It would be great to hear from loc lady you mentioned about her views on visible hair roots, how to protect hair locs when swimming and when to incorporate conditioner (should it be diluted). My daughter from birth has a very thin hairline so im very careful to not make the edges tight they're more carefree looking.

Thanks for sharing such vital tips when it comes to reties, moisture and shampooing. I’m almost 2 years est microlocs with fine hair. The less I do w my locs, I notice the better they thrive! 😊 I only shampoo every 2-weeks and I stop using conditioner. Btw, love your channel 🥰

I tried the microlocs for about 3 months and combed them out because of the tension. I couldn’t take it! My hair is medium fine and I had nightmares of no edges!! lol. Maybe I will try again at some point.

Your locs are so lovely. I feel like they sit quite similarly to mine (they’ll be 2 years old next month) :) Does that mean you are back to braiding and banding your entire head or just the hairline?
@dee5708

Love your hair 😍. I’m going to install my micro Locs next Monday! When I found your videos I got the final inspiration that I need to finally make the decision. Can you please ask your loctitian an advice on how to maintain scalp and hair hydrated without messing up your Locs in the early stages? I appreciate it ❤

Yess the white bulbs in my hair are irritating 😢 however I used “it’s pure” black henna dye, I got it from Holland & Barratt. I’m allergic to normal black dye hence I used the henna. It really worked! 🫶🏾

Hi Ifeyinwa, how often do you wash your hair now? Weekly or every two weeks. What do you recommend? I recently started washing weekly with a clarifying shampoo due to increased buildup. The weekly washing is helping with the buildup however I have also noticed that the locs on my edges are getting thinner. Not sure if it is as a result of the weekly washing.
@Ifeyinwa
@Ifeyinwa 7 дней назад
I wash my hair once a month, why do you have so much buildup? Are you using any products?

Question What does it look like for someone with excessive dandruff to start the microlocs journey ? I’ve not been able to treat my dandruff to the point where it’s not visible in braided hairstyles. I can only manage the itching with hairsprays. I have really dry scalp. I wish to cease using perming creams and go natural but the dandruff is holding me back Please make a video on the glycerine spray DIY

I been loc almost 5 years now .I been having scalp problems and my hair is also pretty long now so my Loctician advise me to wash my hair every week now my dermatologist agree also . My Loctician also said I can start using conditioner now on my scalp to help with the health of my hair and because I have color hair. Moreover there is a conditioner on Amazon made just for Locs and it has great reviews it’s also good for color hair it called MFL and again it’s on Amazon they also have many other hair products made for locs too

Try henna for a natural hair dye. Makes your hair darker and turns the grays orange/red.

Beautiful locs! I make my daily mist but I've used that Rosewater & Glycerin spray on my microlocs and it is great! I'll be 4yrs on my microlocs journey in October and ppl ask if i have extensions too....guess cause the length
@LisePlansandJournals
@LisePlansandJournals 8 дней назад
Did you do that same spray in the beginning? I want to use something similar but glycerin makes my hair even softer than it already is and I’m scared it’ll stall the locing process. I’m in month 2.
@Ifeyinwa
@Ifeyinwa 7 дней назад
Lol hey twin!
@Ifeyinwa
@Ifeyinwa 7 дней назад
I would stay away from humectants (like glycerin) with starter locs. A pure rosewater spray would be great though!

@Ifeyinwa Agreed! I just started using Glycerin in my DIY mist this year
@thisnaturalgirlislocd

Thank you for sharing. Does your loc specialist repair your locs on each retie? And if so what is the difference in price if there is one? I’ve been following you for almost 2 years now and your videos along with another influencer (Kendra) inspired me to get my Locs. I’m 16 months loc’d and it was the best decision for me ever! I absolutely love your weekly Vlogs and look forward to watching them on Sundays after church! Thank you again for sharing parts of your life with us!

I'm not sure but my Loctician said that was most likely the cause and it's fairly common with microlocs

I’m also concerned about my hairline with locs. I have the same issue with my edges thinning and then regrowing even though I wear micro mini twists. 😩 My edges are very temperamental.

My locs are 2 years old. I hate the white bulbs! I use black henna dye every 8 months months - there is no ammonia and it is not permanent. In between my dye schedule i use tweezers on my hairline to pull out the obvious white bulbs that annoy me.

I have been waiting for my locs to be 2 years old before i try installing braids over them. Now i am nervous to actually go ahead. I don’t want to loose any locs, especially on my hairline😮‍💨. Maybe i should install my own braids🤔

Hi, I have a question about the ends. I really like my ends curly. My hair has a very tight coil pattern and as a result the ends curl coil up. Is it possible for the ends to remain curly coily over extended period of time with locs? I currently wear my hair in 2 strand micro twists, but reinstall every 2 months because I’ve been afraid of taking the plunge on locs. The ends are curly and I really like that look. If I decide to transition to locs I wanted to keep that same look over time, even years later.
@anydae

@beautywithinsherry7141
@beautywithinsherry7141 9 дней назад
They would eventually loc however you can keep the ends free if you wish by combing just the very end of your locs to keep them free. RU-vidr 'More to Dela' has done that with her locs. She also cut her locs into a bob style then combed out just the tips in order to have that curl.
