Nice video!! Just a side note: Fast drying hair is typically an indication of high porosity (absorbs water quickly). Low Porosity typically takes forever to dry and repels water.

[@RestorativeClarity]

This is incorrect. Low porosity hair dried very quickly as well, if there is no product in it. Once product is applied to wet, low porosity hair, this traps in water to hair that absorbs slowly, which is why drying takes longer.

[@MyBabyGirlsCurls]

@@RestorativeClarity Ok but from the research that is out there, it shows that low porosity hair repels water hence the beading up look on hair which is why it may still appear dry. It is dry because it was never actually moisturized/wet. However, once the water actually penetrates it takes a long time to dry because the hair shaft it tightly sealed. The research is out there and it all states exactly what I said.

[@charliesmusings]

I have low porosity hair and it takes forever to dry.

Tip: when you tie knots in your locs be sure to palm roll them smooth ..my wife’s locs are actually thicker than yours and whenever we tied knots we palm rolled them almost completely smooth to the point where we can barley notice now ..so for slimmer locs like yours it’ll definitely help strengthen your locs while not looking so “bumpy” 💝

Jan’s ‘daily routine’ took me out! 🤣 Beautiful locs ladies! 😍 Keep up the good work. 👏🏾

[@wallydolly8146]

Wow Elizabeth! Your hair has gotten so thick! Your volume is amazing!! Your locs is absolutely beautiful and I love your friend’s baby locs too. You two are both gorgeous ladies. Continue to inspire us Elizabeth. Thanks for all that you do. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@QueenEleem]

Her baby locks are gorgeous aren’t they?! Thank you for watching and reaching out!

[@YesItsCharlay]

Y'all hair is beautiful. I just finished my DIY microlocs on Friday and I love them.

[@QueenEleem]

Congratulation on starting your loc journey!!

[@MiNNi0La]

Ooooohhhhh...I wanna see 🙈

[@dionnel727]

I finally did my micro locs and watching your channel has helped me along the way. I decided to document my journey. Thank you ☺️

[@QueenEleem]

Amazing please let me know when you upload! I’d love to watch!

[@dionnel727]

@@QueenEleem I will definitely

[@erickawilliams6273]

You were my inspiration for starting my microlocs. Best decision ever. 1 year and 8 months in.

[@MissOWorldwide]

Great work ladies. You should be proud.

[@QueenEleem]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@shaylacheeks907]

So my loctitian has done knots in a few of my locs. I have a good bit of gray hair around my edges and after more than a year slippage happens to the point where they come fully undone. The knots in locs….for me…have kept them from slipping and giving the loc a chance to for.

[@QueenEleem]

Would love a video referral if you have one!

[@shaylacheeks907]

@@QueenEleem I wish!!! ☺️☺️I’ll ask her if she knows of one. When she first did it I asked what she was doing and she said she does it as one of her last resorts. She was taught by one of her professional mentors. Gray hair…at least mine is darn near straight so it takes forever to coil and matte upon itself.

[@Msceejayfree]

Thanks for sharing and for making your sizing tool available. Planned to work on setting my grid up tomorrow to start my locs. This was further inspiration and confirmation!

[@QueenEleem]

Woot woot! Lmk how it goes!!

[@kcat200]

So cool you brought your friend on so fast. Hearing about her journey really piqued my interest during my last video.

[@QueenEleem]

If you have any questions for her lmk! I hope to include her in future vids!

[@luckygirl20000]

I love watching your updates, the length and fullness is giving life 💕☺.

[@krandle2175]

You were missed Queen! I hope school is going well. Your hair looks great! Thanks for showing your friends hair - it's looking great!

[@Getitgirl816]

I have Sisterlocks, 15 months in and the dry, flakiness has been significant this Winter. I use a rat-tail comb, scratch my sclap to lift the dandruff, shake the flakes out and apply OIL. I know oil can be bad but I had to listen to what my scalp needed and the snowing-effect of dandruff has improved.

[@CharsChronicles]

Can't wait to get stuck in to this video! Whoop 👏🏾

[@QueenEleem]

Thanks for watching! Lmk if you have any comments!

[@CharsChronicles]

@@QueenEleem Thank you! Great video. How many locs does Jayanne have? Love that water helps loc the hair as I'm 13 months out and getting impatient! Will do more spritzing 😂 Do either of you stretch your hair by braiding? Lastly, why do you use the 4 point rotation on some locs and 2 points for others for Jayanne? Your hair looks amazing ladies!! 🎉 😍

[@MiNNi0La]

@QueenEleem, you know I love your content, from locs to PA school I watch it all! I do have a question for you...Now that you have so much density, do you miss the earlier stages when it was less dense? Why or why not? @Jianne, Congrats on finally starting your journey!

[@Gullah_Geechee_Tarot]

Next month will be my 2yr anniversary (diy microlocs) . I'm watching yall as I retighten my locs. I love them but the shrinkage is reallll!!

[@omnilawrence5792]

Omg you guys are so cute!! I love your locs I just finished mine last weekend and I barely even knew what locs were 2 months ago😳 But I’m loving the new hair! So low maintenance and cute no matter what you do😍

[@Stellahmarie]

I love both your sets of microlocks. I’m documenting my journey as well and I can’t wait to get to your length 🥰

[@Mona-x7j]

I love videos like this!!! No matter what video it is Queen keeps it so informative and I love that about her channel! I’m definitely purchasing the diy grid and sizer for locs. I plan on using them for a install I’m doing this month.

[@JWSedona]

Hi Jayanne! Looking forward to meeting you! QueenEleem, is my hair 4c? What’s my hair type?

[@QueenEleem]

Lol 4c mom

[@LocsSoFine]

This was really cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@Aizee_Vee]

Your locs are so beautiful ☺️ both of you. I can almost relate with your friend’s baby locs cos mine are gonna be 5 months as well tomorrow and the back is locing faster than the front, with those tiny buds at the tips and we have around the same length. It’s just weird that lot of people keep asking me what style I have on and I have to explain a lot of times that they are baby locs 😅

[@shaniaedwards388]

Loved this video!!!

[@olandis581]

Y’all got patience, I had to get traditional locs, because micro locs would over annoyed me

[@studentnurse8577]

I love it cant wait for my journey, especially since I a m in school what a game changer. Thanks ladies.

[@latoyatv2030]

I started three days ago on my diy and no where near done 🤦‍♀️😭

[@QueenEleem]

Stick through it! You got this!

[@treceivery7781]

Took me a week.. Then another week to split most of them cause they were bigger than I expected 😔

[@huniebon]

Any update on loc tools? What do you use, what you've tried but didn't like, any new tools you'd be willing or interested to try ...

[@miss4b4c]

Thanks for sharing. How many locs does she have?

[@veroniquedusabe513]

Nice video...

[@coolkidm08]

Did you ever show how you used your sizing chart on your head? If so which video? I’m planning to do my own microlocs and parting my hair is not my strong suit. Anyways, I’ve been following since the very beginning. Love watching your journey!

[@vickimoore5005]

I’ve been watch almost all your videos, but the question that no one ever ask is your daily routine. Before bed, what do you do? And do you leave it alone, spray, twist at night. I’m about 6 months. And I was never told what to do, and not to do. Please help me.

[@kcat200]

Do either of you plan to do protein treatments on your locs? Are they even necessary on locs? Thanks.

[@madmaxk9]

Nice 👍🏾

[@CH-ju5cz]

Beautiful hair, the both of you!! I just had my first retie done by my loctician a little over a week ago. However, I really want to start doing my own reties from now on. Is there anything that you recommend for a first-timer especially since mine are not mature yet!?

[@QueenEleem]

Watch my self reti video for tips and tricks! Let me know if you still have questions after!

What do you use to wash your hair now?

[@Chantemailei]

Awesome video! How many locs do you guys have and what size are they? I'm trying to find the perfect size for me and would love some advice

[@QueenEleem]

I have 600+. I think Jayanne has mid 400s but she hasn’t counted yet!

[@tonimony1jay837]

Tying a knot will absolutely make a loc weaker. Because it creates an area where the loc is artificially thickened it may make the remaining areas of the loc weak. I expect it’ll make an interlocking session pretty difficult, especially as the lock thickens and the knots thicken even more. 😬 if you were trying to address thin areas of locks, I tend to just interlock the hole/ thin area until it thickens up. I dunno if that helps since I don’t think I saw the relevant vid.

[@msknox08]

How do you deal with bunching?

[@QueenEleem]

I haven’t had any bc I braided and banded for the first 1.5 years and my hair is very tight
