4:14 I had dry scalp before I loc’ed my hair and it’s not as bad now because I can wash weekly without all the loose hair maintenance. I find that drinking water helps too.

@Ifeyinwa 11 ай бұрын

Yes that’s a good point too!

@Nmendenh-rl6ej 11 ай бұрын

Yep, I combined my perimeter. The stylist that started mine made them super small. I haven’t had any more breakage along my hair line.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with your micro locs. I am considering having micro locs installed in my hair in the next couple of months. Right now I am gathering information - watching tons of videos, speaking with friends and strangers (lol) with beautiful locs. Your hair is GORGEOUS and I appreciate your willingness to share. Be Blessed ❤️

Great video! It has helped me a lot. I’m almost 6 months into my loc journey and I’m trying to be patient while trusting the process.

Bunching is one of the reasons why you have to braid and band. Bunching is a natural thing with Locs, but when you have tiny locs you braid and band to avoid them to swell

Thank you! This is so helpful 🥰

@allisonwendell9942 4 ай бұрын

I’m three months in, two reties so far. I spritz my scalp with a water/eucaplytus and tea tree oil solution for itchy scalp. It doesn’t build up. Locsanity has a daily moisturizing spray as well that’s really good. My scalp gets really dry and itchy.

Ive had the same flaky residue for years but it was recently diagnosed as Seborrheic dermatitis.nizoral shampoo helps,less sugar and drinking more water. I had traditional locs for 5 years but i cut and took them out (palm rolled).I cannot commit to wash days,buying products etc so….i had microlocs installed today.The lord knows i tried 😂

@tab0108 7 ай бұрын

I had almost the same journey as you almost! Traditional locs for 2 years and combed out due to scalp issues. For microlocs and now I can wash more. I use Nizoral too and my scalp is much happier!

@aramideugbomeh 10 ай бұрын

I totally agree with you in this area, the area where the hair are looser, the solution is to Retie often especially for your hair type. I have that experience with the small locs around my forehead and nape area. I just retie earlier but not too tight for that could make it pop😂

Hi Ifeyinwa, Kudos! Your videos are quite enlightening. pls did u apply methylated spirit for scalp cleaning at the early phase of your journey? I started my microlocs and about 5weeks gone and due for a retie but my lotician said i should not wash my hair yet and should cleanse with methylated spirit but i cant bring myself to do it cus of the drying effect of alcohol. Kindly advise!

Hey. I am almost tree years locked and i am now having problem with slipage at the ends of my locs. Do you have any comments about it? Thanks.

I’ve simply made peace with my frizz 🤣 I just can’t. My only issue is that my locs don’t seem to be growing as fast as they did the first time I had them. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong this time around.

@karleenedwards9663 10 ай бұрын

I feel the same way, I am 6 months in.

The hair around my perimeter/nape slipped too. I’m four years in now so I go 6-8 weeks.

Awww nice can you remember how long it took for your locs to settle/stop slipping?

2 years fully. Most of it settled by a year my perimeter was just stubborn.

@TheNiamya 5 ай бұрын

Yes normal. Be careful how you wash them and oil them. Wear a bonnet that is not as loose or tie on a hair scarf, like she said above. Are you interlocked or palm rolled?
