[@keishaallen6193]

I am literally sitting outside for my sisterlocs install. I’m early so decided to look at KZbin and But God brought me here. I will be posting my journey as well. I’m so excited and feel blessed to start this journey.

[@nadinestewart1869]

So glad I stumbled on your videos before I did anything to my hair. 💜

[@fan1257]

Would love to see pictures of your first year in sisterlock journey. I’m very encouraged by your channel. Been locked since March. Or rather started. So glad you shared your recipe for oils and shampoo. Thank you

[@TunisiaAli]

Hey sis! I'm working on it! Promise! I am shocked I dont have much documentation. I will though pull what I have!

[@TEE18612]

Your locs and color are beautiful😍! I love the fullness and length

[@TunisiaAli]

Thank you very much! I appreciate you stopping by!

[@TheGrandmashand]

Thanks for the hair tips! This is my second set of sisterlocks and these are micro so I plan to use your tips, because this set is 6 months old and I want to have a successful journey. Thanks for sharing!

[@iamlamogi]

Hey! Watching in 2021! Love your videos!

[@belindaaskew7532]

this was very helpful. I'm now 6 years in and I do color once a year. my hair gets dry a lot and I moisture but I live in Wisconsin and dryness is a big issues. the hair is healthy and I wash every 3-4 wks. and get a retighten every 6 wks. thank you again.

[@TunisiaAli]

Thank you Belinda!!

[@marianjoroge2286]

Your info is so informative. My locks are only one year old and they see to be increasing in volume but not in height! Your sisterlocks are beautiful.

[@TunisiaAli]

Thank you Maria! I appreciate you. Give it a bit of time. I think with the 3 pattern it's likely to be more volume. This is what I have heard.

[@mylocs792]

Yessss! Thank you for another great video! Please keep them coming!! I agree with you about not putting undue stress on the locs. I had to stop going to my Consultant because she was re-tightening my hair toooooo fast! I could literally hear my hair popping as she pulled it through the base. When I re-tighten my hair I am very cognizant of the damage that can be done during that process so I am very careful. As a result, my locs are congruent, strong and healthy. I just wish they would grow faster lol. I am looking forward to your natural spritz recipe because I only oil my hair and scalp once a week with one oil.

[@TunisiaAli]

Girl yes. I'm doing a video on the hazards of retightening. I think I'm gonna speak to my loctician about going much slower on the front. I find myself cringing or I'll just be doing that area myself. I really think over time the cumulative impact is SERIOUS! Soooo nice to hear from you!!! Much love!!

[@jusjustice]

i just love your videos!! i get my installation done Friday the 28th of February !! and i am excited!!

[@TunisiaAli]

Yay!! Yay, again!! Sister enjoy the amazing journey!!! Thank you for all your support.

[@mrs.rogersneighborhood]

😮You are in Georgia like me!!! I’d love to meet you in person! I just love your spirit!

[@TunisiaAli]

Girlie, I'd love to meet you too!! I've met so many beautiful women from this channel and I'm so damn humbled and grateful. I've been able to meet and serve so amazing spirits through this channel either with distance or F2F energy healings, spiritual readings, and spiritual mentoring. The cycle of giving and receiving has worked both ways and I feel blessed. Look me up the next time you are in town or set up a session so we can get cozy! LOL!

I'm gonna be adding more new videos addressing that and including other topics for us. Stay tuned. They will be simple natural alternatives for healthier skin! Thanks a lot fo engaging the channel. I appreciate ya!

[@roxannecowlesrosado3449]

As usual, you tips are great. One of the main reasons I am considering getting sisterlocks is because they don't require a lot, if any, handling and styling. I am not one who needs to have 5 different hairstyles in a week, so the less I have to style and play with my hair, the better. Also, I have struggled trying to maintain length for years, and I think sisterlocks will help correct this. I have a question: I work out daily, and I tend to sweat a lot from my head. Will this cause new sisterlocks to slip? I remember the old days of the relaxer, and how, if you sweat afterwards, the relaxer would revert. As a result, I would wait several days before resuming my workouts for fear of sweating. The initial investment for sisterlocks is substantial for me, and I don't want to do anything that is going to mess them up at the crucial stage of development. Thank you, as always!

[@TunisiaAli]

Hi! I understand your concern. I am a sauna girl at times. Most of the times when I would get in early on, I would have my hair covered. This was mostly due to me not wanted to expose my hair to the dry environmental heat of a sauna. But it also absorbed some of the sweat. I dont recall music slippage due to workouts. I had more due to the softer hair at my crown. I think to help keep it under control especially during the critical 1st year, you can limit excessive workouts and variety (some types cause less sweat). But who wants to give up health. Alternatively, you can pin or used something to hold the 'potential slippers' in place. You cna even consider a scarf or a head band that absorbs moisture, as long as you quickly remove it when finished working out. Especially avoid any other offenders in that area, like oil, excessive manipulation etc. I think depending on your hair and sweat levels, you may want to be as preventive as possible, but expect a little at the same time. I know my hair was so much shorter at the front, that there were just 3 to 4 that continued to slip well Into year 3...

[@TunisiaAli]

Thank you for sharing.

[@queeniebee237]

I have never been able to go more than a week without washing my hair. My locs are two years old. Band it and rinse away. I love an apple cider vinegar rinse best. I blow dry on the cool setting of an ionic blow drier. I shampoo once every 5 weeks or so. I hope that helps.

Great tips! What’s the sound track playing in the background i love the flow and tone of it. ❤️

[@TunisiaAli]

Hi D Will! It's called Sunny Light. I purchase it cheaply online as royalty free for videos some 2+ years ago. I wish I knew the author. I dont even recall what I did with the proof of purchase, etc. But you could like google it as royalty free and find out more. Take care!

[@jgayle01]

Hi Tunisia! Another great video. Question: you've mentioned that your hair was strong before you got locs, and you knew what it "could take". What is your hair type?

[@TunisiaAli]

Hi! Thank you very much. I am happy you are finding value. I would say my hair is more 4A/some B

[@loretta-h2h]

I am trying to find the old recipe for making your old serum. I want to make it again. Please tell me how to find it Thank you

[@shadaimccarter523]

I just got my sister locks started today!! How often should I retighten? And what products would you recommend? Your website? For natural products? Your hair is beautiful Sis

[@TunisiaAli]

Hi! I only use the products I make for my skin and hair. If interested send me a text via my website : (phone number is listed there) www.hidayahreiki.com

[@618mjohnson]

🤗I found this video by chance. I subscribed a while ago. My thing is that I want the loc jewelry or something cute for my hair. What do you recommend for jewels that doesn't have to be taken out with every retightening?

[@LeandraMP33]

What natural oils are best to use for a sweaty/smelly scalp, so that I don't over wash.

[@TunisiaAli]

Hey sis! Clove oil is good and pleasant smelling. Lavendar is as well and both smell great with a touch of orange or tangerine oil. It is antibacterial and antifungal. You can spritz your scalp with this a water and massage in. Be sure to let dry. Also, I'm adding a link to my shampoo mix. You can use the oils mentioned in a spritz or add a light carrier oil like jojoba. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZvSnGCtZtebrpo

[@pflaggs]

Hi: You hair is gorgeous! I am also in Atlanta area. Who does your retightening?

[@TunisiaAli]

Hey sista!! Ifraj Suad and a lady called Nneka, with Nneka's natural hair. They are both great! Thankyou for stopping by the channel. I appreciate ya!

[@felita64]

I been listening to you for a while but I need to understand what water do I need to use on my Locs cause they feel hard sometime I order your oil and I’m going to start using your

[@TunisiaAli]

Hmmmmmm not sure why your locs feel hard. Could be the dye, especially if it's not a rinse and is semi or permanent. Keep on the oil. Water can stiffen it sometimes if it's not alkaline enough.

[@felita64]

@@TunisiaAli thank you for that information 💕

[@triciaedwards3028]

Hi Sis ... Thanks for sharing .. I also use 100% natural products. You mention dyeing .. do you have a natural dye in mind .. I use henna but its extremely drying and looking for an alternative. Thanks a bunch

[@TunisiaAli]

I wish I did have a natural dye in mind. I've heard of folks using beer juice, as it stains and lemons. I've never tried them though. I agree, many bvb years ago I did henna and it seemed somewhat harsh. I tried it years later and made the mistake of putting it on color treated hair and it caused a LOT of breakage. It was then that I made the huge chop, went natural and eventually got sisterlocks. Best wishes in the new year!

[@sarahmwangi4767]

Hi Tunisia How do you make your products

[@TunisiaAli]

Hello! Currently, I am still making them bynand at home in my lab. Www.iammelaninmagic.com

[@mrs.rogersneighborhood]

I’m about to get back to drinking 640z of water each day. I just ordered a new water bottle.

[@TunisiaAli]

Yes girl! Get you a LOVELY water bottle that motivates you to drink and serves as a reminder. Never leave the house without it. Matter of fact, since you live in GA, consider going to Flovila GA to Indian Springs State Park (if not too far) to get many gallons of healing water. Its amazing and healing..research it. Its worth it!

[@barbararobertson7663]

Can you send me a list of products that you use?

[@TunisiaAli]

Www.iammelaninmagic.com

[@felita64]

I order the serums. And I did color So should I spray my hair with distilled water every day or spring water

[@TunisiaAli]

I might seriously forgoe the water, unless you absolutely feel you need it. Try to train your hair on the oil. At least use water a bit less.

[@lanegreenlee]

My sister Locs are 1 year old. I have my hair washed and retightened every 3 months. My hair isn’t long. Do you think I need to wash it more often. I use glycerin and rose water to moisten my hair in between

[@TunisiaAli]

Check out the miracle grow solution on my video list. Its very effective with growth!! Its a great way to build strength. Thank you for visiting.

[@TempleCleanerSisterNacresha]

hi Tunisia. How long have you been growing your locks?

[@TunisiaAli]

HEY Nacresha! I've been growing these baby for a tad over 7 years...

[@TempleCleanerSisterNacresha]

Wow! ok... That's as long as I've been married.. How long does it take you to retighten your sisterlocks?

[@TunisiaAli]

@@TempleCleanerSisterNacresha Hi!! Uuuhhh....wow, I wish!! I will do occasional touch ups around my crown. I have 570. I'm not sure I have the guts to attempt it! Hahahaha.... how about you?

[@TempleCleanerSisterNacresha]

Lol.. Well I don't know how many I have really. I just installed my locks about 2 weeks ago. I'm just starting my journey.

[@TempleCleanerSisterNacresha]

Hahaha.. wow!! That is alot of locks by the way but beautiful.

[@lanegreenlee]

I want to color my sister Locs because I have gray throughout and tons in the middle. I watched your videos and never thought ai could it it myself. What brand would you suggest to color my hair?

[@TunisiaAli]

Hi!! I used Vidal sassoon. I have a video on my channel where I demonstrate the dye. It's the part w video with a thumbnail of me with the red dye in my hair and the Vidal sassoon box.

[@Dragoness99909]

Thank you for your videos! I have a question; is there a method for keeping your ends coiled or curly? I have the understanding that the hair locs from the end upwards and part of the locing process is a blunting of the ends but your ends are still curly and appears loose coiled, I think I have also heard you say that you have done that intentionally. How do you do that? Thank you in advance!

[@TunisiaAli]

Hi there. Many of mine would naturally remain open. I know this happens with many people. When I would see the other start to close, I would take a push pin and VERY gently just u range the hair on the very ends. This worked for me easily. Hope it helps! Thanks for stopping by.

[@Dragoness99909]

Tunisia Ali thank you!

[@kayitesindayisabaangelique9868]

Hello Madam. I live in Kigali Rwanda. It is my 4th month with sisterlocks and everytime i wash them, some are unlocked, is that normal?

[@TunisiaAli]

It can be depending on your hair texture and also length and other factors. Be sure you are braiding and banding.

[@taneshiabennett2037]

How do you pronounce your name

[@TunisiaAli]

Hello Sister (Namesake). LOL...it sounds like Tuh--- nee--- jah ..like the country Tunis, Tunisia

[@brendajones3808]

[@dixyf]

Hey! It works obviously! For me anyway. Musa- bideen, wa Isa bi-deen..
