Keep the locs that you cut, in case you ever need to do repairs, you can use your own hair. I saw @ajahinkorea mention that on another video.

@Oonagh723 жыл бұрын
I have a couple of tips . If you cut a loc after combing, keep the loc. So if you have a loc that breaks you can attach it to add the length if you want. Also you can buy aloe Vera juice and it is very inexpensive, so that is a convenient option. Finally you have done a great job with you hair. You should be very very proud of your work.

Hi Elizabeth, I love your locs!! You did an amazing job on your DIY microlocs. I am a new subscriber and have binge watched your videos over the last 3 days. I had sister locks that were installed by one of the certified sister lock consultants in Fort Worth, TX and she did a horrible job. I ended up getting retightens by another non-certified sister lock consultant who was great. However, I was never satisfied with how they looked from the original install. Sooo, after 1 year, I took them down one by one. Yep! I start the last week in July 2020 and finished the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I am missing my locks and want to get them back. After watching your videos, I am considering DIY microlocs. I think I have the patience, considering I took my time and took them down so I didn't have breakage. Yep, I was able to take them out and my hair natural coils looked surprisingly great. I trimmed the ends and my length is the length of your locs currently. I want to make sure they are done right so I am strongly considering doing them myself this second time around. I have a recommendation for you not being able to put your hair up easily. Have you seen the Swirly Curly hair ties? Check it out, they may help greatly, I love them for my natural coils and when I had my sister locks. Also, I am glad PA school is going well. I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Family Nurse Practitioner (12 yrs FNP 7 of which I have had my doctorate). Your suggestions for those that would like to become a PA are on point. Keep at it, you are going to be so happy with your career once you are done. :)

Maybe henna made extra runny so it rinses out easy along the hairline and your part will dye the bulbs and follicles. Blended with water/green tea with an immersion handheld blender so its not powdery. You want body art quality that has a fine sift. Ive seen dozens of loc'd and micro loc'd ladies use it to dye grays

i noticed it hasn't gotten longer. your install still looks longer than your 15mo. yes it will thicken quickly, but will take a couple of years to start registering length. i observed this process on someone. from scratch to @ 20". it took years before the hair looked liked it was moving. then it started creeping. now it's a bit longer than yours. so it will take some time, but it will get there. i notice that micro and sister locks do not behave like regular dreads. the science of it i do not understand, but have witnessed regular dreadlocks in operation. they will grow out the door, if you do not cut them. never seen this with micro or sister locks.

I’m also over the follicles. I’m going to try a cellophane rinse. Maybe if you do a cellophane, pick one that is similar to the lightest color of your hair. Cellophanes only make deposits. They don’t lift color so your darker shades of brown won’t be affected. I haven’t tried it yet. It’s just a theory.
