5 Year Loc Journey | Effective Tips for GROWTH and MAINTENANCE

[@laurenlocd3180]

I’m obsessed with looking at loc videos lol

I never call men “beautiful” but you areee 🥴😍

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Thank you

The greatest advice he gave was that if you keep your body clean on the inside it will show on the outside Jah bless my brother for the knowledge

[@gregoryashley7963]

I was one of the people who requested a hair care video and I want to say thanks for making it. It was informative and gave different information than what I have seen on other videos. I had no idea soursop leaves were good for hair. I have the same brand you have and have just made tea out of it but it's good to know it has other benefits than what I was drinking it for. Thanks again, man! Looking forward to your next vid! Peace.

[@BrandonAhmaud]

That's great to hear! 🙏🏽

[@LETMECHARMU1]

From the inside.. I always tell people that it's starts from the inside for hair and skin.

[@BrandonAhmaud]

That's a fact.

Just started my free form dreads(two strand twist method) about two months ago...this was very helpful\informative. Good looks!

[@BrandonAhmaud]

No problem!

[@amandaleigh2526]

This was a quality video! You picked up on everything other maintenance videos are missing. Natural is best, thank you!!!!!

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Glad to hear! 🙏🏽

[@diondremathis261]

Inside out, gotcha. I just got my two strand twist starter locs put in about a week ago. This will be very useful for the future, I'm definitely saving this video. Thanks for sharing brother!👏🏾

[@caraboyd7552]

Omg the guava leaf spray!!! I never thought of that! I always make tincture and oils but i love that idea! Thank you! Be blessed king! ✨

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Thank you! You too!

[@crysiano]

oh yeah I am DEFINITELY getting that satin loc cap, because the ones I get start slipping off my head after awhile. And the shower cap, jeez, i'm over here using groceries bags haha. great keys my brother!

[@BrandonAhmaud]

You won't be let down sis! The grocery bag is the black struggle 😂 Legendary. The go to for days when I couldn't find my shower cap. Thanks as always for tuning in!

[@crysiano]

@@BrandonAhmaud Of course! and With the water mix, do you refrigerate it when not in use or keep it out? When I made aloe vera water mix, I had to keep it in the fridge or it would go bad after a few days if left out.

[@BrandonAhmaud]

@@crysiano I have had no issues keeping it out.

[@crysiano]

@@BrandonAhmaud gotcha

I loved the video man. Super inspirational! I just started my journey and posted on my channel. You've inspired me to make sure I dont quit

[@BrandonAhmaud]

You got this!

[@sonyacollins5818]

I Love everything about this video.....please keep them coming.

[@Faithspective]

Thank you for this video. Two takeaways: 1. I need to leave my hair the heck alone. After moisturizing, I am tempted to style it. And most times it’s in a tight style. This is my only set of Locs (four years) and I really need to start babying them more now than I had when I started. Two: I don’t drink nearly as much water as I should. And I don’t eat right. I’m not sure how to live without meat because of my environment and upbringing. But…I could do more to help the rest of my diet.

[@moonhoneymami]

I'm one year in and I feel the exact same way about my locs

[@danajones8788]

Thank you, great info.

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Very informative video, sir! Great video.

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Thank you family

[@123njohnson]

I know this video is about locs but I came across some information that you might be interested in. Improves Vision: Bilberries are remarkable for their ability to improve the health and function of the eyes. It can help treat night blindness, cataracts, mac- ular degeneration, poor vision, and chronic eye strain. Bilberry protects the cells of the eye, reduces inflam- mation, and helps prevent damage to the ocular nerves in diabetics. Use it internally; it is not used topically in the eyes.

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Yes, I actually did a video on it. Thanks kzbin.info/www/bejne/npvInWmHgN-NgcU

[@erickaransom236]

Thank you for the information!

[@Bonafide-mg6sq]

Thank you so much for this video, my Brother! I'll have to try out that mist from the guava leaf tea & cucumber compost tea. Sounds very healthy and with zero build-up. Much Respect! ✊

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Happy to hear!

[@jeffreyalston2978]

Great video. I just started my locs. Comb coils because my hair is about 3 inches. So mines is little macaroni 😂. Mine seems to be locking to the root so I will lift them up daily. Not sure if I should be doing that. Some of them are already bud and tight together and tomorrow will be one week. A friend of mine who have had locs a very long time told me lemon juice would loc them quick. But I found online that the lemon juice will also shrink them because of how much it draw the hair together. Anyone else ever used lemon juice?

[@HerbNLocs]

Amazing video , great points ! Definitely like the focus on prioritizing the inside . You're 100% right ! We definitely need to be talking about this more in our community ! Thank you for sharing 🌱

[@GodlyBeing420]

Grand rising brother, just wanted to see if it was possible to list the foods that contribute to healthy hair? Also if you can tell me where you purchased your loc cap and shower cap its much appreciated.

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Peace, I listed where you can buy the loc caps in the description. Fasting, eating greens such as cucumbers, dandelion, fennel, mustard greens has helped. But avoiding toxic foods such as meat, dairy, soy has helped tremendously too.

[@youngerudit2524]

how tf is nobody talking about how fucking long his loss got in 4 years

[@stacie1st69moonrisingvenus9]

How do you off should someone re-twist or is that based on hair growth? Maybe something to add.... Does twisting often cause thinning at the root? Great video, Thank you!

[@stacie1st69moonrisingvenus9]

*How often should... Edited

[@BrandonAhmaud]

Excellent questions. I do believe twisting too often causes stress and thinning on the roots. I re-twist every 2 months..sometimes even longer.

[@user-es2gd2rl7z]

@@michaelsliders3421 to what exactly?

[@michaelsliders3421]

@@user-es2gd2rl7z 😂what do you eat? This man is a vegan

[@realmaureenoyakhilome]

It depends. If you pull it, is it long? It may be shrunken esp if you don’t retwist like he clearly does. Otherwise, you may want to wash your hair often, may be your scalp is clogged. I have washed my hair 5 to 7 days for the past 10 years and that’s what works for me. Then you may want to check your vitamin levels or get biotin , selenium: Otherwise, vegan or not; everyone’s hair grows.
