Girl, your consistency is unmatched. Also, the quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better- I was wowed by how professional the footage looks! And as always, the locs are looking gorgeous!
The pro tip about the scarf versus using a bonnet is key. I noticed the same, my hair looks better for longer. I think it has something to do with the bonnet moving around causing frizz. I love your locs girl!
Agreed! I do my own reties and have noticed less marrying after wearing a scar for a month. I also don't have to deal as much with individual locs that just want to go the opposite direction from the rest lol
I can also attest to the scarf over the bonnet. My hair has less frizz when I use the scarf. Thanks for giving us this nighttime routine. I didn’t have one besides flat twisting or braiding down my loc’s for stretch the next day. I am 8 months into my journey.
Sorry if it wasn’t clear but I do not do this every single night. I typically use oil on my scalp once a week and spritz my scalp with water a couple times a week. Detangling and stretching I do every night. I would not recommend this routine for starter locs. Starter locs need to be left alone (in my experience) 🤗 Links to everything are in my description box and please don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it. It really helps to support my channel 💕
I’m scheduled for installation in 2 weeks, I was freaking out but you’ve helped me be confident in taking this big leap to locs. I’ve been straightening my hair for over 20 years and currently 1 year natural. Job well done!! Thanks
Thank you so much for this video, Mama! I've noticed that you workout often in your vlogs, and I admire that! If it's possible, could you make a video elaborating on managing locs, particularly starter locs, while being active/working out?
I honestly didn’t do too much to my locs for the first 6 months or so… I am such a wake up and go kind of girl but let me think about this, I think it’s a great idea 🥰
@@Ifeyinwa Ah, HI! Thank you! I was referring to what you do to combat odor, buildup, and dampness from the sweat, specifically. Maybe you also style your locs so that there's minimal shrinkage/slippage and bunching? It'd be great if you could throw that in as a bit in one of your upcoming videos. I'm pleased with how your locs are turning out, so I'd trust your advice, if you don't mind! (If you've already shared some info on this topic, please feel free to refer me to the video 🙏🏾🌟)
Guuurl… I just stumbled on your channel and I must say I’m completely hooked! Absolutely loving your content . Your great energy comes through the screen beautifully. I’m early on in my micro locs journey also and learning a lot about each and every day . Like yourself previously, I too go to Jus u for my reties and find their whole appointment system doesn’t really work for me . I live in east London and would truly be grateful if you wouldn’t mind sharing your new loctician’s info . Thank you so much for sharing your journey with the rest of us embarking on this amazing journey 🙏🏾
Awwww you’re so kind thank you so much. My current loctician hasn’t given me permission to share her details, but I found her through the sisterlocks registry (linked in my description box) I highly recommend checking that out and shopping around your area. Good luck 💕
Thank you for sharing your routine. I am 7 months in and my loctician did say to use a sick scarf but I was using the bonnet. But I started to used the scarf again last week so i will stick with that. I love your videos. Keep them coming!
@@Ifeyinwa oh thank you. I too have microlocs and I am never too sure what to do. Been a year of trials and errors 😅 Can’t really find a loctitian in Germany so I learn as I go 🙌🏾
I just had my wash day 2 days ago. And noticed some lint on ends in the back! I took a T-Pin and slowly pulled it out. I love sweaters. So I have to be very careful with what we wear. The ends will pull on the fuzz of the sweaters
I really enjoy your channel I have micro locs installed by my daughter n law. I am a month in and I notice alot of long straight strands I have no perm
And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that! I only started using oil bc I had dry scalp and even know I only use it once a week. I love how easy microlocs are so I’m with you! 🥰
How have you kept your ends from budding? I see you still have loose ends after a few years of having locs. Is there something you do specifically to keep them this way?
Love it! In your opinion, would this routine work for starter locs as well? I'm getting mine installed in two days, and still learning, but not sure if the finger combing and braiding could potentially cause slippage on newbie locs
Ooooh I hope your install went well hun! I'd suggest following the instructions your Loctician gives you and tweaking it (if you need to) as your hair start to settle. I didn't use anything on my hair for the first few months personally.
Hi im a new subscriber and just love your videos and how you describe everything nice and slow, step by step. Im only 7 months in on my journey and have a ton of frizz and hair growing outside my locs. Do any of your videos give tips on this?
Hi Ifeyinwa, your locs are beautiful, I see that you have curly ends like I do, how do you maintain your curly ends, because mine are mostly tangled up after like 2 weeks, and I am about 6 months locd now. Thank you.
Thanks for this Ifeyinwa. Have you done this nighttime routine from when you had your locs installed or only as they started to mature? I think I’ll do this now and then as I don’t like the glad look from just having my hairs tied securely without the twists or braids
I have almost 600 locs I need to recount but I know it’s on the higher end. Would you consider combining them ? I love the look but if I were to ever maintain myself it seems very overwhelming. And I’ve seen some opinions on Instagram that having over 500 micro locs is unfair to other loctitions & you will probably have to combine down the line…Which is another question do you think you will self retie?
No I don’t plan to ever self retie or combine my locs. I’ve also never heard any locticians complain about the number of locs. I know some will charge more depending on how many locs you have or how long your reties take, so I don’t think it’s unfair as they are being compensated for their time.
No, I would follow whatever instructions your loctiican gave you until your locs starts to mature. I started doing this around the 6 month mark personally and I only use oil in my hair once a week
