What kind of loc gel/wax do you use? I like how it looks.

@kmeinnc1 17 күн бұрын

I’m sure a lot of people are going to come for me but what you are calling new growth is breakage because you are reparting mature locs. Edge control gel will cause build up in your locs. Only use non petroleum products to prevent buildup and non alcohol product to prevent drying. I have locs past my butt and I have cut them 3 times. Been growing my locs for 13 years. Also palm rolling all the way down your loc helps keep them cylinder shaped, it does not cause thinning. I love your hair and results. No shade or hate I just want to help another loc queen. Much love. ❤❤❤😊😊😊

@shaybaye 15 күн бұрын

Could you recommend a shampoo and a gel?

@kmeinnc1 15 күн бұрын

@@shaybaye good clarifying shampoo that I like to use is Neutrogena anti-residue shampoo but in a pinch I will use suave daily clarifying shampoo. You may want to do a final wash with a moisturizing shampoo afterwards to help replenish and strengthen your hair. And for gel any loc gel that does not have petroleum or alcohol is fine. I use Murray’s loc-loc gel. Is a soft hold. But I like it. Hope this helps. 🥰👍🏾

Yessss, that’s the hardest part in my opinion lol. That’s exactly why i wanted to include detail on how to face the mirror. If you don’t get that right, it can make retwisting your own hair harder and annoying.

This is one of the best tutorials I have come across. No snapping of necks and fingers, singing, posing, overchatting. Just straightforward and to the point. It's almost like sitting in a real class. I have had locs for 17 years at several lengths after what I felt were necessary cuts due to thinning - butt length, bra strap, and now shoulder length - and have never mastered how to do my own locs. I am so frustrated. I want so badly to be able to be self reliant. How long did this retwist take you to do? Do you twist in the same direction? PS new subbie here. Stay blessed

@AlexiaTracy Ай бұрын

Awww you are so sweet Jennifer. Thank you for being straightforward and letting me know exactly why you love this tutorial. I’m happy my content was straight to the point for you. It takes me about 2-3 hrs to do my own retwist, I typically twist in the same direction to make it easier for myself. It takes practice, you’ll get it in no time. Thanks for subscribing too❤️❤️❤️

This video was EXTREMELY HELPFUL & a blessing! I learned how to do my son's retwists by watching this video!..after trying to search for a relative who usually does his hair, (M.I.A), as well as, trying to reach out to ppl who were referring me to other stylists, I decided to take it upon myself to do it myself! My son wanted & needed his hair done, badly, & wanting me to retwist his hair, gave me that "push" & confidence to try one or two retwists. Next thing I know, I was retwisting his entire head! I sincerely appreciate you for making this video, especially for beginners like me! It was basically a step-by-step d.i.y. video. Thank you Queen! 👸 😊
