Wash and Retwist With me Using Loc N Gel ✨

Hey Y'allllllll 😊
I wanted to show you guys what I like to use to wash my hair now that its color treated and over processed. My routine/product lineup changes based off of what my hair needs or is lacking. So don't be afraid to switch things up when you notice your hair isn't responding to your usual products or once you've chemically altered your hair!
Please be patient with me and my uploads 🥲 school and work has been kicking my ass but even if I get one video out per month, that's something!
Be safe and be kind to one another, alway love ova here 💕💕💕

literally been binge watching ur vids bc i plan on getting my starter locs in 2 weeks !!

[@anyaenichole]

you are beautiful! this loc journey is flawlesssss

[@imsofrugal4838]

Your retwist came out amazing!! I’ve had this Loc N Gel for about 4 years now. My daughter got her hair retwist at a hair show and she had to buy the gel. I’ve only used it for my ever so slightly edges and now that I’ve loc’d my hair, I plan to use it on my loc anniversary!

[@DeezyDesoto96]

It seems a little on the thick side for my hair. It leaves it stiff and that throws me off. Am I doing something wrong?

[@alexisjesus-baby305]

u literally did this without one clip and it looks fabulous!!!

[@minihooper2]

Wow I am one person that has been scared to squeeze my Locs. I am 2 years 5 months in, and I bleached part of my half, a little less than half underneath for a peek a boo. During the process some slid out ( I was a year locd or close to when I bleached it) and I was freaking out. I have some that are thinner than others. I watched a video where you cut the dead parts, and I wish I had done that, but I pulled mine out. I would check the integrity of the shaft and just rip. SMH. I have also neglecting oiling my hair. I am going to get it together.I say all this to also say I plan to take over my maintenance from here on out and begin doing my own retwists. Since I have diamond parts it has always been intimidating, but I work at a school and work starts next week so this week I will be washing and retwisting my hair myself! saving coins as well. Anyways, grateful for your channel, I love your Locs, I am going to dye my blonde ones back dark possibly before I return to the work. I think I will like them more and feel beautiful again.

I use this gel on my clients. I love it besides the smell like you said it works great

[@pro_cora4774]

Always Look Forward To Your Retwist.

[@Bigyella1023]

Ii used this gel, but I had to use clips but you didn't. What would you recommend for someone who has just started the journey? My roots always get loose in about 1 week

[@MaryMagdalene1201_]

[@HeYLaLa7]

Okay length! I see you ❤

[@jaywholoveseveryone1721]

After a few days did you have any flaking or white stuff with this LocN gel? Thanks ❤

[@tiapatterson4192]

Ive been using it for months and I never get flakes

[@jaywholoveseveryone1721]

@@tiapatterson4192 Thanks for responding. I did start using it after I left my comment and I LOVE this stuff!! Thanks again

[@PittsensX]

Great video.. Does this gel flake? Because the problem I have with most gel is they flake after a couple days of use.

[@melaninmama2258]

[@bluhiris6609]

AMAZING I am in the process of learning how to retwist looks so easy now I just need a head to practice on. a always cut my widow`s peak off and or part it in the middle lol

[@meshiameshia]

Im thinking about dyeing my locs for my dirty 30 in October im curious dyeing locs 4 and 5 times will your locs eventually fall out? Im really nervous about dyeing my locs cause everytime i see someone dye them they have to cut them off because of damage thinning etc so if you could educate me a lil on coloring locs or maybe drop a video on tips for mainintaining colored locs? Anyway thanks for the video 🙏🏾

[@ms.sugarsoutherntaste1261]

I'm a Newbie..lol . Very helpful video.. thank you ❤

[@absurdcash3737]

What do I do if I don’t have a micro fiber towel before retwisting my hair after washing???⁉️

[@kingofdreadsk.o.d6795]

Do you oil before or after the mouse?

[@josephvincson8454]

Fine asf 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@cat69fun]

When do you wash your hair when you just start getting dreads?

[@noellemarie1294]

You should give us a tattoo tourr

[@ExposedRoot]

This stuff is $30 for the smallest size.

Hi! I have a question that I am praying you see. I just got my locs in January and they have only been retwisted twice ( I know but in my defense I have had a lot happening) now I am retwisting them (this time by myself, thanks to your videos) and they are coming out of the twist poofy and unraveling in the two strand twist. I have washed my hair, using oil, and a gel. What am I doing wrong? Oh and idk if this helps buy my hair is also thick. Thank you for answering (if you get a chance). Oh and love your channel. Thanks for the confidence and inspiration!

[@ArieStylez18]

If you just got them in Jan and they are unraveling you should wait longer to do them so they can have time to lock completely. At the beginning stage of starting dreads you don’t wash your hair . I’m a certified stylist. I’ve been doing dread since 2010 and doing hair since the 2006

[@DeezyDesoto96]

@@ArieStylez18what’s your recommendation for shampoo/conditioner? I have only tried the Jamaican mango & lime brand.

[@ariesgirl6745]

how often u retwist?

[@azsiawilliams1]

Should you blow dry if you dont have a dryer to sit under?

[@Lifewithd_222]

I do that but mine don’t dry all the way so I let my air breathe

[@lamontjohnson4988]

She is beautiful I will marry her

[@afroempress]

Why are you putting moose in your locs. All I see is build up. I'm a natural hair stylist. Locs detox will be needed later

[@damionboyd1963]

There’s a better way to word that without coming off as “better than” try speaking with love as the motive for teaching.

[@16shontebabiie]

Most mousse's are water based tho & wash right out, there won't be much, if any buildup

[@KammieB]

Whew chile your hair looks so dry and brittle.

[@xxix_desii_xoxo4482]

Yikes that was mean. 😮 it could be because of the color she has. I have the same similar color and I hate the color to after a while and noticed my locs got more dry

[@KammieB]

@@xxix_desii_xoxo4482 it cld be. But I am not going to sit here and pretend that her locs is not dry. She needs to invest in expensive loc products to bring her hair back to life. The first mistake is everything she is using is cheap. When you buy cheap products you going to have cheap results.

[@xxix_desii_xoxo4482]

@@KammieB can you maybe suggest me some good loc products 👀

[@xxix_desii_xoxo4482]

@@KammieB I have for sure heard of her and I may consider her product because my colored locs be dry as heck (just being honest) lol. Thank you queen. Do you ever use leave in conditioner?

[@KammieB]

@@xxix_desii_xoxo4482 lol, it’s all good. I have her entire lemongrass line which includes conditioner. I haven’t used it as a leave in. But when I wash my hair I will let it sit for 10-15 mins. If you use the entire line you won’t need a leave in conditioner. I have her lemongrass loc mist that I spray in my hair daily. Because I use it daily I do spend $50 on the 32oz. I also oil my scalp one to two times a week with the lemongrass hair oil and I use the lemongrass loc butter daily. Baby this stuff here will revive your hair. Now it’s not a magic potion. You have to be consistent. Give your hair 3-6 months to fully come back to life. But this stuff works!!!! She also have other lines. I don’t use lemongrass on my baby girl I use the peppermint lavender line on her hair. She doesn’t have color and she is only 8. This works great for her. Also, if you DM Nia on IG her crew is very responsive and will answer any questions you may have. But like I said her products isn’t cheap and you wld want to get the entire line. Just off my head I believe the 6oz loc butter is $15, 16 oz shampoo $32, 16 oz conditioner $29, I buy the 32 oz mist for $50 and I buy the 16 oz oil for $36 I believe. Now she do have smaller ones for you to try out that may be more cost effective for you. Oh I also use the loc gel and loc jelly combo for $35. But I don’t use the gel/jelly on my girls. I actually use Loc N Gel. The one used in this video. Honestly, that was the only good product she showed in this video.
