Your locs are pretty! I used to shed like that at the beginning of my loc journey. I don’t shed like that anymore. I’ll be 3 years loc’d at the end of September. I believe as your ends start to seal and the more mature your locs become the shedding will stop. Nice video, tfs.

This is my third time locing my hair for the third time as braids so it’s new because I feel this way my hair will still without my hair being so fuzzy looking either way it’s liberating and idc I’ve been on a growing journey for a while !!

You’re so pretty and your glasses are cute!

Love your personality. And yup I’m locking soon because I want the freedom to get going straight away spur of the moment. I’ve realized I keep sayin no to going places or convincing myself not to go out and exercise because my hair is constantly in a state of either being done, being taken down or the wash day production. I would rather just focus on living and consolidate hair time into retie week. I also use crochet a lot and I get easy headaches and can’t stand too much weight on my head, so braids are a no. I did the straigh life and I hate the thin limp look and way too much work is required to get bounce. So locs in is. I’ll do micro. I’ve been doing a lot of twists and micro twists anyway. My hair always wants to cling closed near the new growth root. I might as well let it Loc like it wants to.

How long does it take to loc with braids if you have soft curly thick hair

@ Christy Hamilton when going to bed at night if I wear a do-rag how about the ends? Or should I wear a bonnet to cover all of the hair?

Sis I am so ready to start this journey now! Question, do you interlock them now or are you retwisitng it? What does the day to day maintenance look like including wash day?

@christyeverblooming

2 жыл бұрын

I am so sorry for the late reply. I didn't see the notification. Did you start the journey already? I am too excited for you! At the time I was interlocking my locs because it was so much easier to maintain. For the most part, I didn't need to do anything to my hair. I wrapped it in a scarf, woke up and spritzed a little something in my hair to try to keep them moisturized. You learn to get a feel for your hair and pay attention to what it may need each day. I washed my hair whenever I felt I needed to. Sometimes that could be weekly, bimonthly or monthly. It all depended on my needs at the moment. Very low maintenance though. I hope this helped a little :)

Your shedding may be due to having color on your ends. I had a few hairs fall in my first month but very very little since then. I’m 9 months loc’d. I will be looking out for this tho…along with the white root bulbs. Locs do make you tender headed or in my case even more tender headed. Love my locs tho! Trying to make it to 3 months before I retie. 2 months down now. Thanks for a great video.

I started my first loc journey with coils and cut them after 4 years to start a new set. I now have braidlocs and have noted so much shedding... I genuinely wonder if there's any correlation?

Looking like a politician instead of Beyonce 😂 i relate to that so much Did you install your locs yourself?

Hahaha man!!! I’m glad I wasn’t the only one. Hahah but yeah, I installed them myself by starting them as braids! :)

I know that this was three years ago but I figured that I should still give you some advice. If you already know what to do then this advice can help someone else currently looking for help. I am currently getting all my knowledge regarding maintaining my locs from Yannie the Locologist. She is on Facebook but I normally watch her videos on here. I hope that she may give you or anyone reading this comment some more insight like she did for me.

They look GOOD! How long do your retightens take?

There are ways around it. Do what you feel is best for you. Some people don't really care about their hair coming undone, so it's up to you. You can always decide as you go. No pressure. There is no right or wrong decision as long as you are making the decision you feel works best for you. :)

I did! I kept experimenting with products. I enjoyed using water-based leave-in products like the-Not your mother's naturals brand. Or I would just use a water bottle and add a dime-sized amount of a conditioner that my hair liked and spray that on my hair with a little olive oil mixed in it.
