My loctician joined my microlocs, i want to cry so bad Someone help me Give me advice

You did an amazing job ❤ I don’t think I could do that if I tried.

I'm guilty of all except the bonnet. I do wear my bonnet religiously. I also started my Locs with a two strand twist at home. I see a loctian for reties, she usually fix any bunching she see. But after seeing this, I will braid and band. I will also not go swimming with it loose 😢 this video was just for me. I too have been going rouge and doing my own thang.

I’m glad you asked questions!! You are paying for a service! Maintain your locks girl!!

Such a great video! I am currently doing my DIY Locs and I am nervous for the journey but much more prepared. Thank you for posting 🙏🏾

Nah, she is already looking at your scslp and hair when she reties off she cares about her clients she would tell you.

You’ve lived my exact journey. I have Microlocs, I installed them myself. I don’t know what the heck I’m doing but at the same time, I’ve had issues with the loctician. Sigh……. Now I’ve just decided to keep doing them on my own, no matter how they look.

I’ve felt the sameee way about my new Microlocs. This video has been super comforting and helpful. Still not sure what I am doing but I feel hopeful now!😊

I just got my second perfect derma peel today, first was 4 weeks ago. So far I’ve had great results, I would say about a 70% improvement in my hyperpigmentation

I had locs with extensions for a year now and just by watching this video i feel like im doing everything wrong 😭

GREAT VLOG (: THANKS

Your locs look good. I fortunately found a good loctician. She has combined at 10 of my locs, which is frustrating, but I don’t want to do my own reties. I had stopped braiding and banding at 7-8 months, but now I’m back to braiding and banding due to slippage.

Recorded this in February and here I am posting it 5 months later lmao. Anyway, enjoy!

u got a cute dimple

I had locs and was lazy but also experiencing depression so I wasn’t consistent with my retwists a couple months and it showed. Cut them and now 6 months later I’m looking at micro locs. That you for your honesty it really is helpful. Also, I was today years old when I found out the dry cleaner doesn’t automatically clean. And my big mid 30s age maybe should’ve known too. lol at least now we do!

So helpful. My installation is Tuesday

Thank you for sharing, love! I watched your video when you shared you are restarting your micrlocs. They look good! I've had a few not so positive experiences with locticians at the start of my journey so I retied my hair myself for maybe 8 months. By the grace of god, a friend introduced me to my current loctician who I now see regularly for my reties.

I don’t know who your dealing with but if who does your loc retie should say something thing to you and should assess your hair because that is just good customer service and will ensure your patronage. When they give you the ex sample like u got run because it’s just a matter of time before something happens and makes u feel comfortable.

Nahhh that locticion sounds bogus. I would not be going there anymore

I'm 5 days into my loc journey, and I have no intention of seeing a loctician. Humans have been locking their hair for thousands of years, and I doubt that the ancient people of India had locticians. But getting back to the 21st Century, I can use KZfaq University and learn how to maintain my hair myself.

How do you reloc, do you use the interlock method?

Thank you for sharing! Recently DIY my microlocs and just want to get them to that matured stage with the least amount of complications. 🤦🏾‍♀️

I think if you call yourself a "loctician" you should be able to do with or without a grid. C'mon, you wanna get paid like one, do the work like one.🤷🏾‍♀️ Period!

Awesome tips! I'm looking forward to restarting my locs🥰

Welp looka there...I just learned something new too! I had know idea they don't wash (unless requested) at the cleaners 😮😊

For tip 1, braid and band during wash day or outside of wash day too?

Update: I've gotten a lot of comments and now I know it's not normal for a loctician to not make sure the rest of your hair is good outside of reties! Y'all I've been bamboozled by these people and I want to fight 😭 since posting this video, I've experienced 2 more locticians and I'm ready to write a book called "Surviving loctician trauma" 😭

How did you comb your locs out? I want to comb mine out for that same reason

If my dry clean doesn’t include wash 🧐 we might have a problem.

I just got mine done today

Literally same with me, my Loctician was doing reties ONLY . I didn’t have a healthy set of sister locks & didn’t even know until I moved states & went to get a consult before my next retie ….. I didn’t have time to comb mine out so I literally cut my locs off 🥴

I’ve got all of the above. Not the frizz but uneven, holes, there’s too small, thinning in certain spots. I just want to do a new set.

Being upset about questions is so weird! You dodged a red flag

It seems most Loctician feel they are doing their client a favour

Please do we have to braid and band before bed or just on wash days?

At what stage should it start to braid and band please, I just started mine now for 4 days ago

Thank you so much for this video... I intend to lock my hair before the end of this year. This was so informative. Thank you ❤

You had a bad loction...how can she not tell you she can see your hair. That is bad practice smh. She did not have to start your locs to give you advice.

I listened to you because I enjoy your grammar and how you express yourself … ok bye bye loctician 1, 2 on to the 3rd. 😊 wishing you well P on my 6 month mark - sisterlocks.. learnt a lot

The dry cleaning story is just dumb. She's just trying to justify what she's doing and that's wrong.

My hands were in my hair when you started with number 5. Its not easy yooh😂

I have 4c hair, and started my locs with braids but they still unraveled.

Looove this video, soooo informative. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for sharing! I was wondering what was the difference between the two.

Thank you for this! I was doing it all wrong

Thank you for your advice. I’m newly loc yeasterday . You should have seen how fast i got up to get my bonet and band my hair.

Wise words❤

I started my journey on Aug 2nd ❤. I mostly do my own reties 🤗

Question: why didn’t you have a loctician start your locs?
