I will be 2-years microlocs Sept 7th and I started with two strand twists. When I had my est I didn't have any hair in the front hairline about 2-3". So my locs basically started behind my ears. Now after using the hairclub system since Jan 2024 my hairline has grown tremendously and my loctician was able to est new baby locs in the front about 20 plus now. I keep forgetting to braid and band when I wash and all the baby locs slipped😅. So now I have an afro in the front. My loctician couldn't believe how it grew because I was bald in the front. Love your hair girl! ❤

I remember the shed hair bulbs being visible when I had locs. I used to dye my hair so it wasn't as noticeable. I believe using henna is more natural, and may work for you. I can see these bulbs with my daughters locs, buts she's only 8, so dye is not an option, plus she hasn't noticed them yet. It would be great to hear from loc lady you mentioned about her views on visible hair roots, how to protect hair locs when swimming and when to incorporate conditioner (should it be diluted). My daughter from birth has a very thin hairline so im very careful to not make the edges tight they're more carefree looking.

Hi Sisi loved the video. I'm at 2 years as well and only now also noticing the length. Perhaps its something about the 2 year mark or when the locs ate full matured and they start to drop. Whatever it is😅im so happy to reach that point. I did my locs on waistlength hair and my hair shrunk so much people were asking me if i cut my hair

Question What does it look like for someone with excessive dandruff to start the microlocs journey ? I’ve not been able to treat my dandruff to the point where it’s not visible in braided hairstyles. I can only manage the itching with hairsprays. I have really dry scalp. I wish to cease using perming creams and go natural but the dandruff is holding me back Please make a video on the glycerine spray DIY

I been loc almost 5 years now .I been having scalp problems and my hair is also pretty long now so my Loctician advise me to wash my hair every week now my dermatologist agree also . My Loctician also said I can start using conditioner now on my scalp to help with the health of my hair and because I have color hair. Moreover there is a conditioner on Amazon made just for Locs and it has great reviews it’s also good for color hair it called MFL and again it’s on Amazon they also have many other hair products made for locs too

Hi Ifeyinwa, how often do you wash your hair now? Weekly or every two weeks. What do you recommend? I recently started washing weekly with a clarifying shampoo due to increased buildup. The weekly washing is helping with the buildup however I have also noticed that the locs on my edges are getting thinner. Not sure if it is as a result of the weekly washing.

I’ve been following you for almost 2 years now and your videos along with another influencer (Kendra) inspired me to get my Locs. I’m 16 months loc’d and it was the best decision for me ever!

Hi, I have a question about the ends. I really like my ends curly. My hair has a very tight coil pattern and as a result the ends curl coil up. Is it possible for the ends to remain curly coily over extended period of time with locs? I currently wear my hair in 2 strand micro twists, but reinstall every 2 months because I’ve been afraid of taking the plunge on locs. The ends are curly and I really like that look. If I decide to transition to locs I wanted to keep that same look over time, even years later.

They would eventually loc however you can keep the ends free if you wish by combing just the very end of your locs to keep them free. KZfaqr 'More to Dela' has done that with her locs. She also cut her locs into a bob style then combed out just the tips in order to have that curl.
