I'm 8 months in, started with comb coils, not yet fully locked. Been washing my hair every week from day one, and due to my active lifestyle I decided to interlock, rather than retwist, every 6-8weeks. Love love your hair❤️❤️

What did they do to the comb coils on your first wash

@monyaromera 3 жыл бұрын

I personally wash every two weeks. I have a slight scalp condition and that's about as long as I can go. I'm still in the beginning stages, so im sure it'll longer to lock. But im patient this time around. 🙂

So I just went for a retwist today I've been 6 weeks locd, and to my surprise my loctician did NOT WASH my hair😮 she told me it's to soon and I told her other ppl wash there hair 2-4 weeks in, she said that's why their locs look crazy.. but she sprayed maybe some water or something on my hair to refreshing it..and then retwisted it I kinda was disappointed about not getting a wash 😢😢

@sherelle.souverain6359 Жыл бұрын

I don’t know if you get this but washing your locs helps with the locing process. If you got coils then it’s recommended to wait 6 weeks. If you got 2 strand twists, then you can wash as much as you want. 😂. Wash your hair regardless. If it unravels, retwist and pin it. Water is your hair best friend. Think of your hair as a plant. It needs watering.

@janebagley2147 3 жыл бұрын

Hi gorgeous. First your locs are looking really good and thick for 5 1/2 months. Me I wash my locs every 4 weeks. Locs need to be on a regular routine. So mine hit the water at least every 4 weeks. Water is our locs best friend. Enjoy your new home and DIY projects.

Heyy....I washed mine two weeks in and I didn't separate the roots properly and didn't retwist... that was the worst idea yet...I often wonder if they'd look different if I had waited because I think it messed up the structure a little bit..because separating pulled hair that already started matting out of the different sections to regain the parts ...but I'm 3 months in now so shoulda woulda coulda time has long expired...I wash my hair and immediately retwist every 4 weeks now...I love the tips and advice..definitely gotta figure your hair out....nice video..take care

I just want to say first off I love your channel, you have a nice energy to you. Second, I just started my channel like a few days ago (hence the 2 videos) but I don’t have many subscribers or views. I was wondering when did you start to notice your views going up and what do you think contributed to that? Also do you have any tips for new youtubers? Thanks in advance ❤️

@AlexisHarris 3 жыл бұрын

Hey beautiful! Thanks so much for the love and support. Congratulations on your new channel!!! I am happy you asked this question because it took many months for me to notice my views going up… Almost a year actually. I would recommend planning out your content and sticking to a consistent schedule as much as possible. Remember to have fun with it and make videos that people want to see 😍🥳 reply to everyone who comments and build relationships with your viewers. Ask them what questions they have for you and make videos that respond to the needs of your viewers. I hope this helps! I actually plan to produce a small series on how I make videos and grow my channel. Cheers to a beautiful journey for you!

I didn’t intend on washing my starter locs so soon but I put black castor oil on my scalp and it got my two strand twists very oily. I hate oily hair. As a loose natural I didn’t do oil so this is the worst feeling. So after three weeks I washed my hair with a stocking cap on. Yuk.

@LJ-xb6cs 3 жыл бұрын

Been watching all the videos just haven’t commented in a while but if you start with 2 strand twist can you style them the same day you get them or should you wait till maybe your first retwist since they’ll be a lil formed

@AlexisHarris 3 жыл бұрын

Great question! And awww thanks so much for tuning in every week. I wouldn’t style them the same day (but that’s just my opinion). You can style them, but they may unravel a bit since they aren’t formed at all. The less manipulation the better! Especially in the beginning 😊💕 I hope this helps!!!
