⚠️❌⛔️ 5 THINGS TO STOP DOING TO YOUR MICROLOCS!

[@kerrybellum]

Hey lovelies! I wanna do a "Q&A get to know me" (personally) / "assumptions about me" video! Drop your questions/assumptions below no matter how wacky 😂 and I will answer/react to them all in a video!

[@nethaniapierre8149]

(hello, new subscriber and I'm about to start my braid loc journey in a month or so)I just want to know, what do you do to control frizz on your locs ?

[@kerrybellum]

@@nethaniapierre8149 hi Nethania welcome! On camera it doesn't show, but when you see me in person my locs are sooo frizzy! I've only been able to control them for more than a few hours by doing a braidout, but I don't do that too often cause my hair is so light that it might slow the locking process. But frizz is normal, especially when locs are young. As locs mature, that frizz will become part of the loc. Even notice that mature locs have no frizz at all? That's the reason. I'll also answer your question in the Q&A video for the benefit of others who want to know as well

[@tamalinsmith8649]

You’re so pretty!

[@Mrs.Adrian]

In summary… 1: avoid heavy products 2 : don’t skip wash days 3 : avoid high tension hairstyles 4 : avoid over manipulation 5 : avoid comparing your locs to others

[@kerrybellum]

YES!!!!

[@agengobaby6720]

I'm doing all of the above🤦

[@MzArmyStrong5Star]

I appreciate the information. I start my loc journey this Saturday. I have been waiting this for years and I am finally ready. Happy loc journey to everyone. Blessed be.

[@kerrybellum]

Yayyy congratulations 🎊

[@anydae]

I've started my locs, bigger than microlocs but small because I have low density, fine hair and it's 4C type! Plus I didn't part my hair but took pieces and twisted - in order to get more locs - so I don't have a grid! Thanks for your tips!! Have a wonderful day

[@kerrybellum]

Thank you so much and you have a wonderful day as well! Glad I could help 😊

[@LadyDee150]

Dare Jones, I did the same thing too because of thinning hair in some areas of my head. Just grabbed small pieces - no grid! I ended up with 150 locs (approx.) How many do you have?

[@allisonbw1876]

@@LadyDee150 how did you start? I wanna start my soon.

[@LadyDee150]

@@allisonbw1876 I started with braids because I didn't want to deal with too much unraveling and it has worked out well for me. Minimal frizz and unraveling. I am 14 months in.

[@LethalWeapon73]

@@LadyDee150 I also have fine over thinned hair. Would it be too much tension with a grid?

While I have very small traditional locs, I love your microlocs and your vids

[@kerrybellum]

Thank you! I've been learning so much about locs and I might be able to do some videos on traditional locs soon

[@nicdav78]

Sistren, this was excellent! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰!

[@twink6235]

I really liked this video I’m 8 months in and I have traditional locs I thought that these tips can be applied to any form of locs. I don’t do oils in my hair it makes me hair itchy I mainly use water and rose water. I can’t do styles the guy that does it styles it and I take it out 2-3 days later. I can’t deal with any strain to my scalp. I workout 3-4 times a week for the most part I just let me hair be grey hairs and all. I think that is the best tip leave your hair be and stop with over manipulating of your locs.

[@kerrybellum]

I agree! I've seen many persons with traditional locs avoid all the heavy oils and butters and just let their hair go free!

[@TamaraNBoynton]

You're so gorgeous. Your hair is 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@clarityandself1895]

and girl the comparison can harm the health 🥲🥲🥲 This is not related to my locs but when lace wigs first came out I took up my bright self and go damage my edges (my edges grew farther out than other peoples). Had I just stuck with my locs the way they were I would not have damaged my hair trying to make it be other peoples. I started a new journey

[@queleene84]

Do you lock ur hair in different positions base on style achievement?

[@kerrybellum]

Yes I did make sure the locs ended in the direction that I wanted the locs fall

[@kerrybellum]

As they grow out and get heavier it won't matter as much

Loc envy! Come on, we can do better than that! Just be yourself and leave others to themselves. Envy of any kind is so corrosive to the spirit. And what's this thing about counting locs?? Someone had the nerve to tell me I didn't have SLs because I had less than 400 locs! Gimme a GD break!

[@kerrybellum]

I hate that people feel that they can tell you about your OWN hair!

[@gagoomt4076]

Black people are full of envy towards one another - I don’t care what part of the world one goes we display this behavior it’s extremely self destructive and tiring.

[@darlenebracy7065]

One I’m working on is Stop Touch my Locs. I love them so much and want to put my hands in my hair all the time 😭

[@ShadesofSage]

Ugh! Me too! I never had this problem with my loose natural hair 😂!

[@kerrybellum]

I went through this too! The urge to play in your hair does get less over time as u get more used to your locs

[@kerrybellum]

Exactly 😂 i put it in a style and left it alone

[@martinaodiete5040]

My hair flakes a lot as my scalp is dry. I installed my Microlocs yesterday and I saw not to wash for about 8 weeks. I do not think my scalp can withstand that. What do you suggest?

[@Eatonsbodysculpting]

Great information! Thanks for sharing !

[@kerrybellum]

You're welcome!

[@najeebasheer9093]

The issue with how often to wash is so controversial. I prefer not to wash often. Not using heavy products really helps with that.

[@kerrybellum]

Yep, views vary widely. I have my opinion, but everyone's hair is different, so what works for your hair is definitely the right thing to do

[@tamaralovable2894]

Thank you for this video, I am three months into my microlocs. Do you suffer from dry scalp, If yes, how do you treat?

[@SunnySideUp712]

Following

[@kerrybellum]

I do have dry scalp and the only thing that has helped me is washing my hair once a week with shampoo that has tea tree oil added. The tea tree oil has antifungal properties and washing my hair more frequently helps keep down scalp buildup that causes flakiness

[@kerrybellum]

[@muthonigota]

Hi! What worked for me was not overtightening at retie days.. I don't care too much for grid showing. The itching eased immediately. I am 3 months in as well.

[@kerrybellum]

Yes this helped with the itching!!

[@shanton31]

Great tips, I'm 8 months in. What edge control are you using? I can never find a good one that lasts

[@kerrybellum]

@@kerrybellum ok, i have that. Thanks

[@clintinabranton2550]

How do you know if the oil is heavy

[@kerrybellum]

Heavier oils are thicker and more viscous for example Jamaican black castor oil. A lighter oil by comparison would be olive or coconut oil. With locs, I would recommend using any type of oils very sparingly
