i got microlocs with sisterlocs grid yes the whole math shibang and my bestie installed them for free and shes going to be maintaining (retieing) for me
RU-vid is where I'm told of "rules" Rules for a natural hair style, lol ok As a island girl, we mostly just twist and leave it. I twist and I got aloe Vera in the back yard, that's all
😂😂😂"what do people without kids do all day?" That cracked me up cause i be wondering where time goes yet I'm all alone. No kids no husband no major responsibilities 😄anyhoo, just about to start my sisterlocks journey and I can surely use all the help and info I can get before I get into it. This was super helpful Esther ❤️
You made me laugh but most of all your authenticity was what compelled me. Thank you so much for helping me get clarity on my decision. Sistah lemme tell you what you have star power and to be so confident and relateable is what will launch your career, your goals etc. God be with you I am a Notha One follower!
TFS! I decided on microlocs because of the flexibility and no set rules... after being a loose natural for several years I can't be held to a set of rules lol. I wasn't particular about having a grid but wanted my locs close in sizing as much as possible. So my loctician installed my microlocs with two-strand twists and diamond parting that I love!
It's amazing how your personality shines through even in podcast. Your humor and positivity are so uplifting. God bless you and your family. I enjoy just listening to you.
Great video very informative, gonna try the loc’s again, I had sisterlocs and there were so many things that went wrong, I had to cut them out a week later I had a melt down, as I realized all the time and money that was invested, and now gone. Even now I have to hold back the tears. I found another Locmatician and I’m going to do micro loc’s and have her teach me how to retie which is something I was literally dreading, but today I’m ready to learn thanks for all the great info. given in a very humorous and down to earth way I LOVE IT!!
Interlocks do shrink and swell just as much as twists (if not more); just WAY slower. Because it happens so slowly, unless you have pics documenting your jouney yearly over about 5 years, you won't catch the difference.
Thanks for the input I didn’t realize about interlocks only because I have interlocks scattered in my hair and they are much longer than the twist that I had to trim them
I like your vibe! Everything you said is facts! I opted for microlocs because I didn't like restrictions or the expense of sisterlocs. The costs in the UK are getting ridiculous, not to mention reties, whew! I regret not getting doing a grid, but too late now. Mine is parted like when you get micro braids done.
No kids and i will spend my weekend reading. Regarding the textures, i feel like i prefer interlocks than the two strand twists. My interlocks, when they choose to fatten up they do so wonderful when compared to my twist locs. I have a mixtures of braid locs (which i hate so much but had to cause of slippage and unraveling), interlocs and the twist locs.
Hey Jane✋🏾 thanks for watching! I too despised the braid pattern I have since found some braids in my head and the braid pattern was just as pristine. Maybe I will see the difference once they mature and the texture-changes! Good luck on your journey❤️❤️
Lol 😂 you’re hilarious 🤣 👍🏾 loved ❤️ the vid! I have Sisterlocks and you’re so right; the rules suck 👎🏾 and my establishment was hella expensive 😩. BTW, NO kids and I work FT as a professor 👩🏾🏫. My weekends are filled w/ grading, research, service & me-time 😝
GIRL!!!!! I love you! I don't even have locs (yet) and you're my new favorite human! You won my heart with "I don't do boxes", whatever the rules are "im gonna break em", and usage of "haphazard" LOL!!
Sis, love your honesty and humor. Yes, rules like that... too much. I love the freedom you take and yes some locticians are demanding. Please, sisters, be firm, give your list, your price... though let's be good and respectful of ourselves and others. I have had people state $1500 and hang up the phone!💰😭🚀
Great video! You were on point with everything you said. I too don't want to be placed in a box so even if I had the money and time to get sister locs I would still be doing my own thing lol.💕 I love my diy braidlocs even though I wish I had cleaner parts and maybe more even sized locs.💃
Good video lady…. Boujee for sure, they really think we need them, truth is they need us, that’s how they make a living. DIY’N your own is truly a way to save money. Don’t forget to eat steaks and cut out sugar! Loved your ending! 🤗 Oh and kids, mine are grown so I’m free to travel now! Soon yours will be grown before your know it, it goes by sooo fast. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed watching it.
Thanks for always showing me some love ❤️ you are lovely!! Right now we are in the thick of things with our boys days are long and nights are never long enough but they are growing up soo fast I know we will miss these busy days one day😃 and yes I just came up with a new outtro EAT THE STEAK CUT THE SUGAR! No I just have to remember to say it 🤣🤣
lol on point i dont like the rule thing its looking like for me. i had no clue... i would be doing my own because i dont have that kind of money. and i have 3 kids too but the last one it 2. so he is more the hands on... but right to the point video. thanks
Hey girl.. Well, I should say… Can you mention your name again? ... I forgot.Thanks for the video. You are hilarious. Had me cracking up. No kids.. not married yet.. haha. Just working.. trying to get myself together. Hehe. Anyways.. nice locs. I’m thinking of getting back into them and I really enjoyed the video.. made me happy. Thank you!
You’ve just drawn in another new friend & fan. Hahah I love your energy, vibes, frequency… whatever you wanna call it. I love it!! You’re my kind of favourite humans!! 😂💯 I hope you always have this nature. Ps. I’ve only got 1 mini-human and I’m like oof 😅
This has been really helpful. I'm moving more towards getting microlocs. I have a difficult scalp so I want the freedom of choosing how and when I treat, wash and nourish my locs. 2 days ago I was sure I was going to do small traditional locs. I'm so indecisive 😂🙈
New sub here 👋🏾 How are we on the exact same journey!!!? I am 1 month sugar free, carnivore, and my microlock consultation is scheduled Friday. About to watch your 55lb video 💪🏾🤩
Thank for watching I really appreciate it! I say microtwists or even interlocks they swell up overtime and your hair fills in since you won’t be combing it to death!
Some of what you say is not quite true. Depending on how micros are established they can be close or the same price as Sisterlocks because they if they are interlocked it is still time intensive. I am not on a 4 week schedule. I do go every 6-7 weeks and probably could wait longer if I chose and my consultant would not drop me. That said, they look quite a bit a like. I chose SLs because I wanted to have my locks established by a certified individual. It was right before they became such a trend and it wasn’t and isn’t that costly in my view. People who get braids, weaves and even buy wigs probably pay more. And I used to spend quite a bit in Natural hair products and of course not having to spend time washing and styling my hair makes them worth it for me. And there are no real rules. But I do follow the advice of my consultant.
@@steaksandlocs2374 I think it's worth it to select your loctition carefully whether you choose MLs or SLs. I'm in an online group and not choosing a loctition wisely for the establishment is the biggest complaint.
I have been researching this as I am about to loc my hair. I am stunned that there is a "snob" loc community..like are you kidding me because sistah locs are more expensive.. Like wth..honestly after the locs attach and "we" all look beautiful will anyone really asking you" do you have the expensive locs or cheaper locs"..lol ..
