They're still pretty young, the changing phase of locs usually starts a few months in and lasts for a few more months.

That’s right the journey to get to fully mature locs can take between 1-2 years depending on hair texture. The pretty curly coily bouncy starter locs are not even close to being locs yet, they still have to bud & frizz. Some people SO caught up in the “ugly” stage & it’s not that at all, it’s just a stage our hair goes through to get to the end goal of healthy locs you can’t reach that without the frizzing & budding. I learned to trust & embrace the process & 14months in my hair is pretty healthy I had to stop myself from being too finicky as locs aren’t meant to be “perfect” 😊🇬🇧

I know what you meant by her hair not going through the ugly phase. She has a super thick density and perfect length so her hair will look amazing throughout her entire journey. Whereas some of us have to wait for the budding stage to pass to get the thickness we want. I wish my locs looked like this. I wouldn't wear a wig everyday lol. Patiently waiting though.

I think twisting them this way will keep your locs from thinning eventually. Don't go back to interlocking. Just do a style to preserve the retwist longer. Your locs are gorgeous and so voluminous. 😍

Retwists doesn’t last as long as interlock. The con w/interlocking is having the loc separating at the root but I think with microlocs it won’t be that way. I started my locs comb twists and ended up having em interlocked

So love you videos and your hair ❤️ ..I also have locs this is my 3rd set of locs and it was mostly because of my partings. I strongly recommend that you do interlocking on your micro locs and no gel because over time that’s going to cause some crazy built up, no conditioners also that too can cause built up and unraveling. But if you do use gels you can use flaxseed (boil it, let it cool) and there you have gel and it’s not going to leave your hair feel dry or crispy 🤗✌️🇯🇲

Can I give you a quick suggestion. Using products and gels on your hair will hurt you in the long run. They get trapped in your hair and weigh down your dreads and they make your dreads look dirty over time. Its best to use natural oils and product.

Yes the products can make your hair a bit stiff but it’s mostly so it will last longer. Retwist don’t last nearly as long as reties and any moisture put to your scalp can unravel all your hard work. The gel will loosen up over time but it’s definitely a preference thing.

A few suggestions - the loc it up is not grease to put on your scalp. If you distribute that way to the row then retwist each one would have been enough - putting on row and then each individual locs is why you started to see flaking - it was too much product. Lo po hair needs some type of conditioner and indirect heat. If you had put the oil on your hair length, done the retwist (with fewer clips) then sat under dryer for 30 minutes I think you would have liked your results better. Overuse of loc it up or any gel will eventually cause a cast that you see others get and start that cycle of detoxing which for many is simply removing products that were trapped in hair from being heavy handed. I'm reinstalling my microlocs this weekend so my comments are from my experience with first set that I had most of 2020. My lo po hair hated air drying as loose natural and had to finally accept my locs were no different. You did a great job with first retwist (for me I had to accept I need to interloc I sweat too much). Now that I know what will work for my hair (& not rules everyone else seems to follow) I'm looking forward to seeing new set thrive.

Hey! Lovely! I’m thinking about getting micro locs too. I was thinking of starting off with two strand twists too then “interlocking”. What you’re doing is essentially “palm rolling” right? Will your locks start to look like regular/traditional smooth locs and not as textured when they grow out more? I like the look you have now but afraid that “palm rolling” will make them smooth like the traditional

Some people will say not to wash your hair in the beginning months (or put water in it for that much) but those are loc myths. You don’t have to cleanse with a dry shampoo if you don’t want to and washing your locs regularly (every two weeks to every month is the average) will help the formation of the locs go along quicker, cause when water touches your hair it allows your hair to bounce back to its original state before the retwist and help hair to move up and down the shaft of the forming loc. However, if you don’t maintain your locs at home, it will be shocking at first and seem as if the retwist has come out (even though it’s still there). At the end of the day, you have to decide on whether you want to maintain the integrity of a retwist and possibly wait longer for your hair to loc or begin your journey with a regular wash schedule and have your locs develop healthy and with minimal buildup. (I’m not sure if dry shampoo cause build up)
