Wash Day Routine Video: • Wash Day Routine | Loc...
Useful LOC Tips:
1. Buy enough retwist gel BEFORE YOU DO YOUR LOCS! Lol
2. Use a water-base hair gel to MINIMIZE the amount of the product but MAXIMIZE the hold
3. If you do your own locs, sitting under a hair dryer for 15-20min or sleeping in your clips overnight will allow your locs to dry in that set position
4. Comb out the root of your locs so that they lay neater
5. LOVE YOUR LOCS!!!!!

I love how you went into detail!! I plan on locking my hair this month and I don't wanna spend money on a loctition because I'm broke😭

@issalocstyle Жыл бұрын

😂😂 gurl I will neva count spending money on a GOOD loctician out butttt I don’t have one at the moment and wanted to try them out just the same 😜 glad to hear your are lockng up that is sooo exciting 🥰💕

@Sassysonia1234 Жыл бұрын

If you have a good loctition it’s worth the money. Mine does free shampoos and does scalp treatments and hair treatments for an additional fee and works in a private studio with a giant flat screen tv that always plays black classic movies and she offers you things to drink and snacks. It feels very amazing. I love being pampered and look forward to my reties.

Your video is the third one I've watched and I enjoyed it the most. I love that the state of your locs is very similar to the state of my own so I feel less awkward. I also love that you used small clips and let them dry naturally with no heat. After watching you video I feel confident I can retwist my own locs and save myself some coin. And of course I'll be referring back to your video should I feel like I'm doing them wrong.

@@issalocstyle ok so I am doing two strand twists and many are pointing out how important it is to loc the hair clockwise. Now… I (think) thats what I did at least all go the same direction but what confuses me is that when I look at the middle part it looks like they go the opposite direction each side if that makes sense. But I guess that must be right cause it’s like it’s mirrored I guess. U know what I mean? So I am just trying to make sure that this is correct 🥲🤍 Thanks so much for taking the time & responding

@issalocstyle Жыл бұрын

@@janetlindiwe of course babeeee 🥰 okay so what I think your saying is that the two strand is harder than it looks and I totally understand 😂 retwisting you hair clockwise is correct so great job there 😝 Now in order to create a two strand, what you need to do is cross the right loc over the left loc while simultaneously twisting both of your locs, which might sound confusing but if you dm me on IG @loc.q22 I can send you a simplified video? 💙
