ONE OF THE REASONS YOUR LOCS ARE THINNING. YOU ARE DAMAGING YOUR NEW GROWTH 

Anytime I post these messages I post them in caps.

It will be a true blessing for you to bless my crown one day. 🙏🏾💕

Where are you located in GA?

So.. Ms Yannie... Going forward.. What the remedy to prevent further thinning? Glad your feeling better.

Weird question probably, but do you work on straight fine texture hair? I've had my locs for a little while and have been maintaining them myself, because my original "loctician" did some things I didn't like, I've never returned to anyone. You seem so knowledgeable and your work is beautiful! I'd love to possible visit your New Jersey location.

Isn't it a beautiful thing? You want when you do get it done you have a nice healthy head of new growth to work with.

I agree. I don't care for fresh retwists. I don't like to see the scalp.

Me. Too..❤️

Likewise

This comment!! Locd n lived in is lovely 😍💕

Yannie "definitely, give good advise. I've learned a lot from her as well. 😊

don't feel bad, lololol, they served their purpose

Do retwist or interlock?

I believe it lol❤️

@Sidney, looks like you have been growing yours for a while. I currently do anywhere between 4-6 weeks.

@@StephenIsaacs Me too sometimes I wait 2 months

A couple of yrs ago, I stumbled accross Yannie's video's. Soo glad I did. "Definitely, learned a lot listening to her. She has been a Blessing.😊

Glad you stopped before it was too late

It's definitely a journey, a learning process. Sometimes you can feel all alone when thinking of the mistakes you've made along the way. Over twisting, and too much manipulation is the worst. Something I had to learn.

Hey Amandla I'm also from SA, 3 years now on my Locs journey. Where do you do your Locs. I'm with XTL loc salon in Johannesburg

You know you could’ve combined the sister locs right?

damages them how, wont they just be congos?

Exactly, i just separate them because I can't keep them from marrying. So far so good.

With freeform locs you have to ignore people's opinions... Stick to what you want

Were you re-twisting too often? This process seems unpredictable because people have different type of texture and size diameters; so it doesn’t always mean tight twisting caused it. I notice Mother Nature twists the hair naturally without any help. So perhaps the person isn’t aware of this and are doubling the process; however when it’s done naturally not sure what means of preventing thinning can be implemented to avoid it since hair type and texture plays a part besides the parting length. So, when one observes that the new growth have slowed up than I think it is time to check ones diet, stop whatever re-twist they were doing, drink plenty water. and cut back on wetting the roots since the water causes a natural twist, and each time water is applied to moisture, it’s like getting it re-twisted. Water is a product. However, it doesn’t do justice to some people who have more oil in their hair than others who need more oil. Finally , how could anyone speak for all cases when everyone’s genetics are different plus this process is trial and error for each individual. One thing we do know the more healthier one starts the journey the better success it will be allowing the hair to free form without all the crazy re-twist that weakens the roots due to the hair is constantly in a locked down environment not free. That’s my observational experience.

Sisterlocks are a bit different because the base is smaller. If go too long before rety you will definitely have thinning at the roots and your more likely to have holes when u rety which cause cause breaking off. My hair grows super fast so I rety every month and I literally only do 1 or 2 turns so I have very little loose hair at the base to snap. Just a thought

Obsessed with neatness

"Definitely, a good point.

Only way I can be. Y'all know I "KEEPS IT REAL"

She’s talking about dreadlocks and manipulation.

Lose*

I used to do the same thing. But now i get styles on my birthday or holidays only

I just let them hang - no style needed - I love the simplicity of locs - folks make it hard

WELL SAID. Best comment ever

what i see is that many gettin the feeling tha its time to wake up now so (they) set propaganda to rebrand whats rasta to dillute the growth .. i know this when jay z got dreds to lewis hamilton n even justin bieber now .. yous 💯 say this and rasta two different things.

You will notice when it comes to locs, if you do less it grows healthier and thicker.
