I've had my locs 11 yrs. Never lost a loc. Here's the secret. Keep your products natural and simple. I only use thin and clear shampoos..lately psoriasis shampoo for my scalp. I didn't use conditioner after I saw buildup about 2 yrs in. U really don't need it much..only at the root to soften it a bit if u do a retwist. But you Must Rinse thoroughly where the new growth and loc meet (buildup area). I only use almond oil then castor oil on the length of the loc after I dry my hair with a lint free towel..don't keep adding it every week. Don't use products to retwist after you are actually loc'd (approx. after a year). (Locs turn dull and more firm and will not unravel when you are officially loc'd Get rid of all clothing, blankets, scarves, sweaters, hats, shirts, bed linens that have any lint. I sleep on a satin pillowcase with my hair up but not covered. Most people's hair is much thinner than mine so don't retwist every month...just separate the locs on wash day and I will just braid about 6 together at a time to keep my new growth from being so frizzy. Enjoy! Keep it simple. You will have healthy and long locs forever 🌺💕💕

[@AlexisHarris]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for all of this wisdom! It really means a lot to have people like you in this community. Your experiences are so valuable to everyone else and I appreciate you immensely for sharing. Sending you all the love in the world 😍😊💖🥳🎉

[@t.l1357]

@@AlexisHarris you're most welcome lil sis. I got more yrs in the game and wish someone would have told me sooner lol. Also I saw your loc thinning. That's from retwisting too tightly and also too frequently. I also don't do styles unless it's a major occasion and I don't keep in any updos more than a night. Mostly because my hair is so long and heavy now. But each loc is like a mini ponytail. The tension builds up over days and u will notice everyone who has these beautiful styles consistently has thin locs and worse, most develop traction alopecia. My suggestion for your locs in particular is to halt retwists for a few months. Embrace the frizz and fuzz. Just gently separate your locs at the root on wash day so they don't combine. But that may be a good idea as well since your roots have thinned. A few years from now u will most likely have a visible line where your locs are uneven due to this thinning...u can cut away the old part to have uniformity. Or just start fresh with your new knowledge. Just don't let the hair define you or your beauty. Enjoy the frizzy journey. Much love 💙💙💙

Hello ladies, I just joined the loc family on July 16th, 2024, at 60, but I have been doing two-strand twists since 2014. My daughter wanted to do our twist journey together. I am 3 days in, and she is maybe 3-4 weeks in. She did a two-strand twist, and I did the locking, and my hair is entirely gray. I started graying in my 20's. Thank Alexis, for the incredible information as I learn to care for my locs. This information is fantastic and I pray I can do this. Right now, my hair is up in locs, and I am feeling itchy. I sleep with my satin cap on and go out with my satin cap under my scarf because my hair is shorter with the starter locs. And I don't want my scalp to be exposed right now. Please keep this information coming. ❤❤❤❤

[@LavenderGA1]

Let's add this..Let's drink lots & lots of water. I am 1.5 yrs in at 65 yrs old. Love my hair. My only regret is that I did not start earlier.

[@deliachandler9281]

I had locs for 23 years (a well spent youth, I must say), then about 6 years ago I decided to comb them out and become a loose natural. I loved my afro, but the price of hair care products be killin' my bottom line, yo. And, the south coast England has the hardest water known to human kind. I'm now 3 weeks into my new loc journey and honey, it's so good to back home! The two strand twist / crochet starter locs are challenging, but I'm trying to just let nature take it's course.

[@kendrasmalls19]

Omg i did the exact same thing. Loc for 20yrs comb them out 5yrs unloc then reloc on 5/4 my 1st retwist on 6/2 plus now 2 strain twist. So excited

[@karla1579]

That's how I'm bout to start mine

I don’t cover my locs I just moisturize my hair a lot. Spray it daily with my rose water mixture and oil every few days. I’m going on 2 years and they look pretty good so far . Nice content girly 🦋

I moisturize with my black castor oil, grape seed, jojoba, mint oil mixed. All is great. I have my locks retwisted every 6/8 weeks. I massage my scalp with my finger tips… no long finger nails. My hair looks similar to yours but longer and more locks… love this video… I did a great deal of research for a few year before i started my journey.❤😊

Thank you for your comment! I am contemplating taking the Loc's journey but I'm terrified!!!! I'm 67 years old but tired of jumping back and forth with braids both salon done and homemade etc... transitioning from perm, it's been a year now. My hair is short ... unsure where to begin!!! Challenged with embracing natural hair too!🫣 ... I love it on everyone else!

[@smitdawg7519]

Hey, good info!! I wash and condition every four weeks and retwist every 8 weeks. I spray rosemary and cloves water every 5 days oil every 3 days, seems like a lot but it’s not. My hair is healthier than it’s ever been. I love it and it’s spiritual for me. There is no other way I want my hair than like it is. It’s getting longer, very proud of my results.

Great informative video! I have been locked for three years. I think it’s important to remember everyone hair texture is different and so thickness may not always be achievable. I learned that within my first year. I also don’t always cover my hair at night and don’t retwist much. I barely do anything to them lol.

[@theycallmekurn]

Great energy, love your smile, sis. I’ve been on this journey six years, so you gotta know what works for you, I agree with you. As far as an itchy scalp, there are some essential oils that you can blend together with an oil to put on the scalp to help and let sit prior to shampooing. Lemongrass is one that is known to work on dandruff, as well as ylang ylang and lavender. I make my own hair oil and add it to my deep conditioner also, and sometimes you can add to your shampoo and massage into the scalp really well. Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@AlexisHarris]

Hey Karen!!! Thanks so much for being here and leaving some love queen. It really means so much! I can’t believe you’ve been loc’d for six years. That’s so encouraging to me. Thanks so much for the tips!!! Your wisdom makes this community so much better. Sending you love and light 💖🌟

I just started my journey, I am almost 2 weeks in and I have scratched with my nails. Thank you so much for this video, especially Tip 5, that is a big one. Much Gratitude.

[@AlexisHarris]

I’m so glad you’re here! Congratulations on your new journey. I’m also glad you found this video useful. Your positive feedback really means a lot!!!

[@donnakkay]

​@@AlexisHarris Your welcome, I watch all of your videos. Your mom is too funny, I absolutely love her, your brother too. Your hair seems to be similar to mine. I will continue to watch your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@redefininggrowth7192]

I'm just getting here 😬! I make sure that I cover my hair because my hair attracts lint. I started my 2nd journey yesterday. I stopped using products this time around!

[@vmarieeelifestyle]

You are a beautiful person and thank you for the tips. I’m almost 2 years loc’d💗💗

[@AlexisHarris]

Hey gorgeous!!! Thank you so much for being here and sending some love my way 💖💖💖💖 can’t wait to reach my two year loc anniversary lol

[@thepoiznwidow6459]

Use Sebreeze to "scratch"/soothe your scalp itch! Then use Jamaican Lime "Medicated" spray on scalp!

[@AlexisHarris]

Thanks so much for this!!!

[@TheRealAaronE]

Great content! I'm on my third journey in the last 8ish years. I'm still learning and I'm sure this time I'll keep them. I don't want anything else. Thanks for the video! Also you remind me of Tempest Bledsoe a little bit 😁

[@DodgyDebb]

Awww Lovely, your locs look amazing. It doesn’t look like you’ve done anything wrong. I’m 6 months into my loc journey & more relaxed about it all. I too have dry, sensitive & itchy scalp. Actually I wanted to scratch, just as you were mentioning it🥰but I don’t I just Pat the area. Thank you for sharing with us, it makes me feel good that I’m doing the right things. I wash & RETWIST at 4 weeks too. I also have a little girl baby (cat) she’s actually an old gir now, she’s nearly 17 years old & sleeps a lot, but I love her to bits. So glad that you mentioned loc jewellery, I’ve been so tempted, but will continue to wait a bit longer, till at least the 1year mark. Thank you again. Have subscribed & looking forward to your other videos. ONE🫶🏽✨✨🥰

[@micropanda99]

Hey hun! Just found your videos! I'm 4 years in to my 2nd loc journey. I usually don't sleep with a cap on because I'm a horrible sleeper and I'm prone to migraines, but I don't have any lint and it helps my locs to mature better lol. I don't have any linty clothes either so I don't have to worry about that

[@theghettoracle]

Same 4C hair and 1 year now. I just remember to drink plenty of water and wash whenever I feel my scalp is getting dried up and that may be once every week or 4 to 5 weeks.. There was a time when I didn't think my locs were growing but they have been and healthy without much product use..

[@AlexisHarris]

Awesome!!! Sounds like you’re taking good care. Keep up the great work 💕

[@khalidlemaitre7982]

I be feeling so free sleeping without covering my hair lol. Only do it when I'm close to retwisting

[@AlexisHarris]

Nice! Lol 💖 I feel the most free when my hair is blowing in the wind and I can feel the breeze on my scalp 😂😍

[@nicolethompson2234]

Awesome video!! In my experience, diet is also important, drinking alot of water is helpful to locs. Love your videos, you have an amazing media presence ♥️🙏

[@AlexisHarris]

Awww, thank you so much for being here and leaving some love. I agree with you about diet and water. I’m a firm believer that what we put inside will manifest outside. Sending you lots of love and tons of hugs ♥️♥️♥️

Great Video Treat your locs as you would a plant. Nurture, Nurture, Nurture. Establish a relationship with your hair. Your hair is alive. Embrace the Ugly phase/ unmanageable phase. Don't give up!😊

[@AlexisHarris]

Awww hey beautiful!!! 😍 i’m so glad to hear I’m not alone in this lol i’ve heard that some people use an instant loc tool to put the tiny pieces back into their loc… but I just keep wrapping it around or stuffing it into my locs when it peeks back out. Lol wishing you the happiest journey possible!!!

[@faithfulrose6322]

My locs are getting long and I’m tempted to cut my hair. Once it’s down to my shoulders is when I get the itch to cut it to an inch long. I love super short hair on myself and am eyeballing my hair scissors often now. I didn’t retwist for two months and will never do that again. Had to use eyebrow razor to separate a few... Never again! Haha

Hahaha awww thanks so much for being here and sharing!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
