Another tip . If your hairstylist doesn't listen when you tell them you hair's tight.Change them.

[@coldsolider]

BINGO!

[@dadrianwright3466]

She said 5-7 days to loosen up and I cried real tears 😢

[@brooke8815]

thank you this really helped I got faux locs yesterday and my head was throbbing I didn’t get no sleep 😭 but now i feel alot better and i can sleep with not as much pain as before

[@JemilahAli]

I’m so happy this helped you!!! Faux locs are so pretty but they just hurt so bad lol. I put in a different color about two weeks ago and loved them so much. Thank you so much for letting me know, you made my day.

[@EmalineMadera]

Same. I got 4 hours of sleep. I have booty length faux locs. Woke up at 4am. Put some biosilk on my scalp, wrapped my locs at the top of my head and put on a bonnet and sure enough the pressure relieved the pain.

[@JemilahAli]

@@EmalineMadera Yassss!!!! So happy it helped. I think the leave-in on my scalp is so soothing.

omg thank you so much my scalp was SCREAMING😭😭

[@jacwe7507]

Just had faux locs put in earlier this morning (first time) and I want to take shave off all my hair right now. People say it will get better in a few days, but OMG I don't think I'm going to make it!!!! I'm going to take a hot shower and see if that will ease this tension. Not sure I can do this again.

[@JemilahAli]

I’m sorry that happened. The same thing happened to me on vacation. Did any of the tips relieve the pain.

[@jacwe7507]

@@JemilahAli after about 6 days they did loosen up a bit. I think it’s also the stylist. I left them in for 4.5 weeks and had them taken out. I will try it again but with someone different. Regarding the tips I tried lightly massage scalp and that gave a little relief but mixed some oil and water in spray bottle and sprayed scalp twice a day.

[@rikeinobent2842]

I love how you connect and feel our pain

[@imtayloriman1347]

Thanks for this video!! I just got my braids yesterday but I’m finna take them out cuz it’s too tight! I can’t deal! I love them but I can’t do it!

[@niks8521]

Peppermint oil, tea tree oil, warm water, and leave in conditioner in a spray bottle works instantly!!!

[@JemilahAli]

Great tip!

[@yogaoffthemattenwithtori7518]

what leave in conditioner do you use ... I only wash with Bonner's but my hair is so tight I'm doing pharma and I'll cross any of my boundaries to releave the pain. I absolutely can not take my hair down, paid way too much and Im eager for end result but dang I can't sleep, my co workers have no idea what i'm going through, thank you for your guidance

[@Kaliegh0]

Jemilah Ali love your braids!!! Twist locks and your hair!!! Love you all thank you

[@ericafamania]

Thank youuuuuuuuu! I thought I was losing it! This was so very helpful!!!!

[@JemilahAli]

Glad it helped!

[@MysticBreakdown]

Omg I really hate when my hair is too tight. I wear knotless because they’re not tight…but I want these sooo bad. I think I’m going to just try them cause they’re so cute! & yours are very pretty on you!

[@JemilahAli]

Thank you!!! I love faux locks because they’re easier to take down. When I did individual faux locks I cut so much of my hair by accident 😂

[@travisfisher2550]

I’m not used to getting my hair done and i just got it done 2 days ago and I had no sleep I can’t touch it move it nothing and I’m trying to find ways to help

[@kenzie1293]

I got mines done and i had them in for 3 days now. On the first day i got them, they were TIGHT. On the second day, they were still tight but they started to itch a little. The third day and today, part of my scalp is red, they itch like crazy (trying not to scratch them), and it burns. I wanna take them out but my dad pay money to get them done.

[@JemilahAli]

I'm so sorry that happened. I definitely know that pain. I hope it stopped hurting

[@breestarr-01]

Am suffering right now it's painful and itchy 😭😭😭

[@sitlmakers2014]

How are you??

[@edengill6641]

i just got butterfly locs today, and i’m going to use the leave in and oil method. but how do you get the actual loc to not be so stiff and move naturally?

[@beverlysworld9872]

u dip them in hot water like you do with braids.

[@edengill6641]

Beverly's World ohhh thank you! i googled and they said not to because they’ll unravel so i thought i couldn’t

[@kxnnxdyj1147]

DID DIPPING IT IN HOT WATER WORK?

[@edengill6641]

Kxnnxdyj honestly i didn’t do it. i didn’t want to risk it unraveling. i just kept spraying and let it sit/i also would go in the shower and let it get a little wet and use the steam from the shower

How to keep my hair from being pulled out? Im a checker head. Is it worth it? Whether or not i get relief and soothing, it still pulls my hair out.

[@JemilahAli]

Definitely not worth it then. Sounds awful 😢
