When you start your locs you palm roll the locs. After the locs grow longer the ONLY part is twisted is the NEW growth. Also you also use a (NON ALCOHOL) gel. And of course you maintain your locs by oiling your hair AND scalp. Massage the oil into your scalp. THAT'S it. I say this b/c I've had my locs over 25 years. HAVING said that to each's own.

Does palm rolling over time thin out locs?

I’m in NY who was your loctican when you started

I want to get my locs like Omarions , is that possible??

How can I grew my loc faster I mean can I use hairgrowth oil

When you interlocked your hair, did you use a 2 point, 3 point or 4 point rotation? I think many people have said that the higher the number, the more compact your locs may be. I'm considering alternating between interlocking and retwisting. I think using a 2 point rotation will still allow the locs more room to fill out and not be too compact like a 4 point. But I agree with you on not palm rolling. I would only retwist the roots for overall fullness.

@Thecatherinealexandra

Great point!! The loctician that was doing my interlocking at the time was doing the 4 point rotation.

For those of you watching this video my prayer is that you ALL come to know JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH as your LORD AND SAVIOR. ROMANS 10:9 say that if we confess with our mouth and believe in our heart that GOD raised JESUS from the dead we shall be saved.

Hi, so I’m exactly one year loced, and I still feel my hair isn’t as thick as I want it to be. I get a retwist once every four months and I thought my hair would be think but sadly it’s not, it’s still on the think side. Do you think it’s too late to get my locs thick at this point? I want to try these tips you’ve mentioned in the video to get my locs thick I hope it’s not too late cause I’m scared they’ll remain think since I’m already a year in

I’ve never done one on my locs but I plan to one day soon!

Hey sis. I started my Locs March 2023 .Thicknesses and growth I’m getting there gradually. I Retwist every 4 weeks till my hair locs. But for some reason my locs are not staying in when I Retwist, it quickly come apart after Retwist. I’m very hands on when it come to my hair and skin. I oil my scalp, make sure it stays Clean. But for 7 months now into my locs journey, I feel like my hair should be locs and not coming apart. My locs tech is great, but I think something is not going right with my locs. I’m getting the thickness and growth, but I just feel like my hair should be locs by now and to drop, and I’m not getting that. Any advise please and suggestions? Because I’m on my way to a year now, at least my hair should be able to bounce, because is not locs I’m not getting that vibes. I’m new to the locs community help me out please. Don’t want to get frustrated or switch my locs tech. May be she need to try something else or what? I know locs go through stages and time to get to your desires goals, but 7 months now, my hair should be on the path to locs and drops which will give it that bounce vibes when I move my hair. Please help me out.

You may need to retwist more often! Depending on your hair type going without a retwist for a prolonged amount of time can cause breakage.

I feel like loc styling after retwisting def contributes to breakage. I see so many women who style after getting their hair retwisted and keep it in for as long as they can. I think it’s too much tension placed on the scalp and leads to thinning at the roots. I would avoid styling it for a while & lightly retwist it and see if your roots thicken back up.
