COMMON MICROLOCS PROBLEMS & HOW TO SOLVE THEM | SLIPPAGE, DRY SCALP, MARRYING, BUNCHING & MORE

[@drmicaela.herndon]

4:14 I had dry scalp before I loc’ed my hair and it’s not as bad now because I can wash weekly without all the loose hair maintenance. I find that drinking water helps too.

[@Ifeyinwa]

Yes that’s a good point too!

[@Nmendenh-rl6ej]

Yep, I combined my perimeter. The stylist that started mine made them super small. I haven’t had any more breakage along my hair line.

[@Ifeyinwa]

So happy its all worked out for you 🎶

[@yvettespencer939]

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with your micro locs. I am considering having micro locs installed in my hair in the next couple of months. Right now I am gathering information - watching tons of videos, speaking with friends and strangers (lol) with beautiful locs. Your hair is GORGEOUS and I appreciate your willingness to share. Be Blessed ❤️

[@kerlinebriceus764]

Great video! It has helped me a lot. I’m almost 6 months into my loc journey and I’m trying to be patient while trusting the process.

[@allisonwendell9942]

I’m three months in, two reties so far. I spritz my scalp with a water/eucaplytus and tea tree oil solution for itchy scalp. It doesn’t build up. Locsanity has a daily moisturizing spray as well that’s really good. My scalp gets really dry and itchy.

[@sheilaandfrank]

Here watching , I am 18 months Locd and had my first hair wash without braiding and banding and it felt GREAT! I have been having bunching too.

[@Ifeyinwa]

Oh no how did you tackle the bunching?

[@teeahrahahnet]

I started washing mine without braiding at 7 months lol I'm a rulebreaker

[@SandraD6281]

Great information! I am in my third month with my loc journey! So far all is well, except, for frizz. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@Ifeyinwa]

I’m glad you found it useful! I think frizz is a good thing for locs!

[@aramideugbomeh]

I totally agree with you in this area, the area where the hair are looser, the solution is to Retie often especially for your hair type. I have that experience with the small locs around my forehead and nape area. I just retie earlier but not too tight for that could make it pop😂

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@TheLolob]

Ive had the same flaky residue for years but it was recently diagnosed as Seborrheic dermatitis.nizoral shampoo helps,less sugar and drinking more water. I had traditional locs for 5 years but i cut and took them out (palm rolled).I cannot commit to wash days,buying products etc so….i had microlocs installed today.The lord knows i tried 😂

[@teeahrahahnet]

I had almost the same journey as you almost! Traditional locs for 2 years and combed out due to scalp issues. For microlocs and now I can wash more. I use Nizoral too and my scalp is much happier!

[@njimbuacolette2896]

Thanks for sharing these tips, your hair is so beautiful!❤❤

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you so much!! ❤

[@gothhita3023]

Bunching is one of the reasons why you have to braid and band. Bunching is a natural thing with Locs, but when you have tiny locs you braid and band to avoid them to swell

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you! This is so helpful 🥰

[@nboul957]

When does the slippage stop! I’m 11 months in and the back of my head slips like it’s on ice 😭. Great video as always!

[@Ifeyinwa]

Oh nooo!! Hang in there there’s no fixed time to be honest but try my tips, it really helped me 😊

[@shanekajohnson9010]

Okay I was worried! I am 10 months in and still experiencing slippage and was thinking it wasnt normal. 🫣

[@adaobijessica4361]

Slippage has me on chokehold😢. Thank you so much for the tips

[@Ifeyinwa]

Slippage is a nightmare

[@lindabradley1929]

I love my Loc'd community❤❤

[@brendawilliams4039]

I’m 15 days in micro locs, it was quite different the 1st week now I’ve gotten use to the process , I spritz with alkaline water to help With itching & dryness . Thanks for your Video it’s very informative. I’ve subscribed 😊

[@suzanneb.1383]

Hello ! Thank you so much for this video

[@Ifeyinwa]

You’re welcome lovely 💕

[@HerSassyAF]

I'm really contemplating locs and i love yours! These videos are really helpful in my decision journey 🤗 Where is your cardigan from?

[@Ifeyinwa]

So glad you found it useful! It’s from Massimo Dutti but it’s not on their website anymore

[@HerSassyAF]

@@Ifeyinwa it looks great quality so good to know where I can look 🤗

[@chikaamah8995]

Hi Ifeyinwa, Kudos! Your videos are quite enlightening. pls did u apply methylated spirit for scalp cleaning at the early phase of your journey? I started my microlocs and about 5weeks gone and due for a retie but my lotician said i should not wash my hair yet and should cleanse with methylated spirit but i cant bring myself to do it cus of the drying effect of alcohol. Kindly advise!

[@BellJensen]

Hey. I am almost tree years locked and i am now having problem with slipage at the ends of my locs. Do you have any comments about it? Thanks.

[@marshae.theteacher]

I’ve simply made peace with my frizz 🤣 I just can’t. My only issue is that my locs don’t seem to be growing as fast as they did the first time I had them. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong this time around.

[@karleenedwards9663]

I feel the same way, I am 6 months in.

I’m experiencing a lot of frizz with my sister Locs. Is this normal? Or is there a way to solve it?

[@salimatulavalie3980]

Size of your locs please

[@Msmaurissac]

Apple cider vinegar helped my dry scalp

[@Ifeyinwa]

Oooh! How do you use it?

[@salimatulavalie3980]

[@amapalo6722]

Hi,can you please share contact of hair in Lagos please?

[@sialifeco]

How often do you wash and Re twist?

[@Ifeyinwa]

I have videos on this :)

[@krystelledeborahpela7850]

Did you cut your hair? I remember your hair used to have curly ends ~ now they seem more straight

[@Ifeyinwa]

Nope I don’t cut my hair. That’s what happens when your locs mature ☺️

[@Nmendenh-rl6ej]

The hair around my perimeter/nape slipped too. I’m four years in now so I go 6-8 weeks.

[@Ifeyinwa]

Awww nice can you remember how long it took for your locs to settle/stop slipping?

[@Nmendenh-rl6ej]

2 years fully. Most of it settled by a year my perimeter was just stubborn.

[@folauk55]

❤❤❤❤

I’m experiencing a lot of frizz with my sister Locs. Is this normal? Or is there a way to solve it?

[@TheNiamya]

Yes normal. Be careful how you wash them and oil them. Wear a bonnet that is not as loose or tie on a hair scarf, like she said above. Are you interlocked or palm rolled?
