I did absolutely nothing to my locs and it thinned ...meaning no styling or manipulation....after 4 years ....I cut it of.....at 53.... Looking to start over going through menopause and all . Wish me locs.

I never thought by curling my loc’s, I was compressing them. That explains why my curled loc’s looks good for a good week or two and all my little fly always stay in place, nice. 🌺

Thanks for sharing, this video. It was helpful to me. Washing my hair is not helping with the locking process. Certain sections of my hair are locking just fine, but I appreciate you saying not all tips and tricks are going to work. I am on the finer/ low density side as far as hair texture is concern. Going to my loc specialist this weekend. We need to discuss somethings to help me. I am committed just need to change my hair routine.

Remember, if you bleach your hair too much (never bleach more than twice in the same year) your dreads will thin really quickly.

STOP CONSTANTLY TWISTING LOCS, STOP CONSTANTLY COLORING LOCS, STOP WEARING OVER TIGHT STYLES, STOP USING BLEACH😮 THESE THINGS WILL KILL YOUR HAIR. LET YOUR HAIR REST😮 LET IT DO WHAT IT DOES. P.S. STOP OVER WASHING HAIR 😮 YOUR HAIR NEEDS TIME TO ABSORB THE NUTRIENTS, TRY USING SCARFS, SCRUNGES, BANDANAS, WRAPS, FOR STYLING THOSE BEAUTIFUL LOCS SOMETIMES😊, STAY HYDRATED😊

This is great! What about if you crochet maintenance? I do that and after about a month, the front where my locs are smaller start separating and joining but I’m too scared about damage to crochet them at that point, so I wait another month. Is this okay to do? Would I risk more damage with crochet maintenance if I do it monthly?

About 2 yes ago I was on chemo infusions for an autoimmune disorder. My locs thinned out really bad. So I had to cut them. This is my second time and a few of them is thinning. Any tips is appreciated. I want to thicken my locs

I have a hard time even parting my roots. My new growth is gray and completely different texture. It’s frizzy almost like wire if that makes sense. I don’t want to color my hair I live the gray but it looks like I have a short gray Afro under my locks.

Is just using the instant loc needle to put the hair back in its rightful part a healthy option ? Also I have had locs for 20 months to be exact. I get alot of new growth but my locs look the same length forever which is shoulder length. is taking hair vitamins good for growth of locs? With lose natural the moment I stopped hair vitamins my hair shed not sure if it would shed with locs

@BonnieBearsong 26 күн бұрын

so...im wondering...is there any combination of herbs you would recommend to make a tea to rinse your scalp and/or locs with? rosemary, rose petals, rosehips are the 3 things ive been playing around with and have seen a WORLD of difference! im sure theres more out there i havent tried to add to the arsenal yet that are worth giving a shot, but rosemary has been a true blessing and i really dont see many people talk about tea rinses. would love your opinion bc your locs are gorgeous and the minimal herbs ive tried have been a real game changer. the way ive been doing it is on wash day i make 2 big batches of the tea and set it aside to cool, then i wash with castille soap and rinse it out super well, then rinse my scalp with one batch of tea, then dunk my dreads in the second batch. after its dry i mainly use jamaican black castor oil on my parts to redirect the new growth, and ive been really happy with this routine. thoughts? ideas?

Does she mean “locsmithing”? Or palm rolling lightly in that area to “rub” the hairs in the right direction, to stick together?
