D.I.Y Microlocs Retie Vlog | TyKara Ann

[@brittneyfulson3849]

I've always said my hair was meant to be locked. I definitely have 4c texture. My hair was locked in 6 months 😂. My new growth grows right into my locs, I love it! I can go 10-12 weeks between retwists. But after that, it gets rough lol

[@treceivery7781]

I'm not as concerned with a grid after 2yrs🤦🏾‍♀️I just want my front to look good and wear half up styles 😂😂😂😂

[@TyKaraAnn]

I see your point😂

[@iamdanie_.]

Girl! 😂😅 after my last retie I realized I'm not too hung up on the back. The locs already cover themselves BUT I make sure to clean the parts in the front section and call it a day... I just spent some time with my mirror and did my front now I'm about to watch some videos and start my retie on the back.

[@almetas_grandbaby]

See, I look at your locs, and I want them. THEY ARE BEAUYIFUL! Then I think about the maintenance...child I look the other way 🤣

[@TyKaraAnn]

😂

[@Sailorlluna]

The maintenance really isn’t bad as long as you stay on top of it. I have 686 (I started with 706 but a lot have been combined bc they were too small) if I go get my hair done every 8 weeks it takes about 4 hrs each time. For me at least, 4 hrs 6x a year (24 hrs a year) isn’t too bad compared to the hours I spent washing and styling as a lose natural. I always suggest ppl start small bc you can always combine but it’s almost impossible to separate. I hope you end up with locs you love. The great thing about small locs is you can use curl formers or rollers to curl them and they look just. Like. Natural. Hair. So many people have complimented my “afro” only to have me tell them that they were locs I curled. The curls don’t look 4c, more so 3c/4a ringlet curls but they’re so beautiful and last for weeks.

@@Sailorlluna 706 omg. your hair must be really thick! did you get them installed initially or did you diy?

[@Sailorlluna]

@@ambrosia1917 ohhh I had them installed initially because I wanted it to be interlocked from top to bottom instead of just starting with twists or braids. The parts were so tiny there was just no way I could do the back of my head.

[@Sailorlluna]

@@ambrosia1917 also, yes my hair is extremely dense and thick. Before locs it was a curse to wash and style. Now I can wash my hair in 15 minutes and styling is as simply as placing a few bobby pins or putting my hair in a bun. I’m never going back. The freedom you get is life changing. Now if someone invites me to do something I don’t have to be concerned about having my hair done.

[@EnjoyingTheFreeContent]

She did an amazing job in such a short time. Yes hair Maintence is self care!

[@TyKaraAnn]

Yes! I can't believe how fast she is

[@pamelafelton776]

I’m in the 4c club, I get a retie every 8weeks🙌🏾

[@arib4118]

Sometimes i wish i went with small SL but I knew I’d forever be going to a consultant for maintenance 😭. And the whole point was for me to save money in the long term ! Your microlocs are looking good.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thanks!

[@asmaa_vlog_85]

Your videos is so calm and aesthetic that's what every one wants ♥️🥰💖🍓😍🍓🥰💖💖🍓

[@TyKaraAnn]

Oh thank you!

[@BellaFacesbyNisey]

libraries periodically do books sales. Here in Florida… my library does one once a year.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Oh okay, thanks!

[@kenyav.2805]

Your locs look so good! So long and fluffy

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thank you!! 😊

[@ShadesofSage]

Hi 👋🏿! Thanks for sharing 🌹! Your locs are looking lovely 🥰! So glad you found a loctician you trust 🤗🙏🏿!

[@9etherkween084]

Thank you for sharing! Your hair is Everything. I am happy that you found a loctician to help maintain your hair.I have microlocs & waited 7 weeks and omg I have soooo much frizz. I will NOT wait that long again

[@aramideugbomeh]

Your hair is thriving beautiful ly well love, loving it. It makes good sense to get a good loctician to manage your locs for you if you don't have the time to maintain it yourself, especially if the locs are this full. Well-done love, TFS🤍

[@latoyagolisano782]

So happy you found someone that you can rely on,Blessings 💗

[@TyKaraAnn]

Me too! Thank the LORD

[@Danajanene]

Libraries would sell books from time to time. So the person who you got it from might have purchased a lot of the books and are reselling them. You would see this in the older not in print books.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Oh okay

[@lenav.420]

Loc crush! They look so good

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thanks!

[@SpoiledLocGurl]

Sometimes I wish I'd done my locs smaller. I have 400 of them but I was super concerned about them thinning if they were too tiny. I love your locs so much. I've got 4c hair and I don't go beyond 5 weeks. When I did go longer my locs would start to connect at the roots and I would have to break or cut small strands. No good, that can make locs thin from what I have read.

[@TyKaraAnn]

❤️

[@lenav.420]

Same! I also have 400 locs (wish I would've went smaller since I was aiming for 500 to 600 locs) and they tend to "marry" at the root. Trying to figure out a maintenance schedule. All in all, love my journey so far! 1 month and 1 week in.

[@daffodil4500]

I have almost 500, 1 year and 3 months in. I wish I had gone smaller and didn't do the required grid when I started. I really really space out my retie times from time to time. I can go 2-3.5 months without reties. I have 4c hair also and my hair actually thrives better. They thrive so much, I've gotten 3 new locs😂😂😂. To prevent the marrying, moisturize and separate as often as possible. I'm thinking of taking them down and starting over though because my hard headed ass changed my rotation from a 3pt to a 2pt and now I have holes in few.

[@sg_effect3103]

I've been waiting for a hair vlog. Thank you for this!!!!

[@TyKaraAnn]

No problem!!

[@CristaStylista]

Your hair is beautiful. I love your channel! I have 4B/C hair, and I aim for every 6 weeks. I'm good at 5 for sure.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thank you so much!!

[@nellymckenna6552]

Glad for your retie! Maybe tell her to not tighten too much nxt time to ease the pain? You always make me wish I could have gone smaller...yet again, don know how long it would take me to do my hair if they were 😂

[@Sailorlluna]

I have 4a/4b hair (4b in back, 3c/4a in front and i just hit the year mark and none of my locks have fully locked… not even close. I just recently waited 8 weeks to get a retie and I looked crazy the last few weeks bc of how frizzy my hair grows in. This is the first time in my life I can remember disliking my looser texture hair. I can’t wait for these ends to close up and for this frizz to go away 😅

[@NERDS143]

Update us on what you think of the book! I used to read books like this all the time when I was a preteen . Reading the trailer made my inner child so happy. The ability to envision the best version of the woman I see myself to be is magic! It’s in my cart lol

[@TyKaraAnn]

Ok I will!

[@Jaanechan]

@@TyKaraAnn Around here, the public library will have quarterly book sales. At the sales, anyone in the community can purchase decommissioned library books (the prices are really, really good). The proceeds would then be used to buy new library materials (e.g. when patrons recommend books or movies to be added to the library's catalog). Most books still have those library stamp marks on the edges, but the call number stickers, etc. would have been removed prior to the sale. Hopefully someone just resold a decommissioned GA library book and it eventually made its way to TX. 🤠

[@anydae]

Enjoyable video. Have a great upcoming week youth!!

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thank you! You too!

[@monet1358]

“It’s not frizzy and all over the place like the looser hair textures are” 😑 I feel attacked 🤣🤣🤣

[@TyKaraAnn]

😂

[@geekular]

About the book from the library. libraries often have books sales where they sell off magazines and slightly damaged books or books they not longer want to keep to the public. so its ends back up in circulation at book stores and stuff.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Oh okay I didn’t know that

[@purplegal05]

I had that book when I was in high school! I read it so many times it fell apart lol. I may try and buy it again

[@TyKaraAnn]

❤️

[@Mrscwaboyd]

These are so pretty, but I couldn’t 😭 ima stick to my traditionals lol

[@TyKaraAnn]

You can do it!

[@tashabnicole]

I have the same issue with my hair texture and I workout a lot so I keep a 4 week retie schedule.

[@slibazisohlangabeza3326]

Your hair looks beautiful 🤗. Do keep up with the retie maintenance.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thank you! Will do!

[@AmberTerel]

Your hair looks amazing! If you don’t mind me asking..what loctician do you go to because I’m currently looking for one that can do my hair quickly just so that I won’t have to do my own sometimes

I need to know who this loctitian is!❤️ I'm in the Houston area

[@Danajanene]

That was pretty funny... I don't use this and proceeded to put it back. Once you decide you don't want something you don't have to put it back until you are able to go through all of stuff.

[@TyKaraAnn]

I didn't even realize I did that😂

[@shannonevans7495]

I've been doing my own, and it's a lot of work. Do you have any suggestions on finding a good interlock technician in my state?

[@TyKaraAnn]

Do your research! It’s always nice to think about what your hair goals are and be prepared to share them with the potential loctician. You kinda just have to shop around until you find someone you feel comfortable with.

[@shannonevans7495]

@@TyKaraAnn Your hair is beautiful! Being older, my hair is not as thick another. But it looks similar to yours with some grey and white around my crown. I love how my hair is turning out and my fiance does too. Mily locs are about a year old.
