Good job black queen 👍💯

[@percycarr4436]

I'm starting my wick journey tomorrow my questions are do u have to use rubberbands, an how long does it take for your wicks to lock? How often should I wash my wicks an get a retwist

[@ShondieLocs]

Congrats! No, rubberbands are a preference unless recommended for a specific reason. Takes About 4-6months to loc at the root depending on yout hair texture. I haven't seen your hair but my basic recommendation is wash just like you wash your locs just stay mindful of the parting, retwist is pretty relaxed but in the beginning i recommend every 4 weeks.

[@percycarr4436]

@@ShondieLocs what u mean by parting?

[@ShondieLocs]

The parts are where your scalp shows in between sections

[@percycarr4436]

@@ShondieLocs ok thank u so much

[@brownchris6798]

Please how many days does you have to leave the bandage on the root of the dread

[@victoriariverson6419]

Hi I really miss talking to you!! Great work. 😍

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

So you leave the Rubberbamds in?

[@ShondieLocs]

Most times I take them off at the end, but it depends on client preference :)

[@antonemontgomery6961]

What kind of attachment/basin do you use to wash his hair at the sink? Looks like a game changer!

[@ShondieLocs]

I’m sorry I don’t have an immediate answer because I did this a while back but l will do some digging and come back with that info!

[@christinawilliams-johnson4010]

Question, you’re not crocheting the hair while it’s still wet at the roots are you?? I notice the dryer I’d only on the ends

[@ShondieLocs]

Yes the roots are still wet, the dryer is on the ends so their back doesn’t get drenched. But it helps dry from the bottom up

[@EnTiceMePlease]

Are the wicks less dense at start up? And will they thicken over time? Do the Loc’s lose length if transitioning from locs to wicks?

[@ShondieLocs]

Apologies for the late reply, The answer to questions 1&2 Depends on texture 3. Yes a little bit when they're all even, but moreso when ends are uneven when starting.

[@tdavis8035]

When do you take the rubber band off or do you just leave until it comes off by it’s self ☺️

[@ShondieLocs]

I personally just change them out at the retightening session. Some may do sooner though!

[@msrena824]

Was just about to ask this

[@according2john]

Hi are you located in Michigan? I have Wicks & I need a retwist-

[@ShondieLocs]

I’m in Texas ☺️

[@Suppa2xENT]

Hey when do I pop the rubber bands after tighten

[@ShondieLocs]

2-3 weeks

[@MuYah_]

Do you remove the rubber bands afterwards?

[@ShondieLocs]

Yes unless client asks to leave them on for a couple of weeks

[@MyStylistSaid]

How long do you leave the rubber bands at the base of his hair? I usually remove them after the hair dries under the dryer for a few minutes, or do you recommend leaving them in til the next retwist?

[@ShondieLocs]

I leave it up to the client, normally if they are left in its up to a couple of weeks. Some people take them out sooner. If they don't want the rubberbands I just take them out after I finish crocheting

[@tinajacobs7302]

Hello how are you ? What are you applying to his hair is it some type of moisturizer if so what kind ?

[@ShondieLocs]

Hello! I make this product it is for growth and nourishes the scalp. I sell it on my website www.shondielocs.com and I will be launching a new product line March 1st!

[@hermanirene2692]

Do you know the width of his wicks? 2cm,3cm etc.

[@ShondieLocs]

Looks about like 3cm but I'm guessing. I didn't measure

[@rogersmith8542]

Very Nice Wick Locks My Brother;Jah God🏆🏆🏆

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

😊

[@NottyGurlStyle]

His locs/wicks looks amazing!! Do you normally keep the rubber bands in after or do they pop off after a while?

[@ShondieLocs]

Aww thank you!! Yes I usually leave them on but if the client wants them out I will remove them at the appt. I double them up. That way they stay in until you take them out

[@iamsh4ck880]

@@ShondieLocswhich way is more convenient? Or it doesn’t matter?

[@ShondieLocs]

It’s really the clients choice. My default has changed since uploading this video though, now I usually just take them out unless the client requests that I leave them in

[@Yagirlfigurerightonig]

What needles need to be use to start and reloc please and what’s the name of them

[@ShondieLocs]

Hello, I use .6mm crochet hooks, Clover brand. If you are looking for the ones with the wooden handle and double or triple hooks just go on amazon and type in loc crochet hooks .5mm

[@jburtonflood3264]

How many wicks did your client have in this video' also I'm thinking about getting wicks myself' I just wanted to know if it is ok to start them off in Jumbo Box Braids until they fully are locked?

[@ShondieLocs]

He has 12, but I've never heard of that method for starting wicks

[@lstaxxx6484]

Yo broad pattern would never go away just use rubber bands it’s gon come out right

[@mrbiggz8313]

When do you pop the rubber bands off?

[@ShondieLocs]

I recommend taking them off in a few weeks

[@burnercomented]

Are the rubber bands taken out?? Or does the client have to take them out

[@ShondieLocs]

Client can take them out or just leave them on til next appointment if they book within 4 weeks

[@AishaJanae]

Where did you get the tool to hold his head up while washing?

[@ShondieLocs]

Hello! Sorry for the late reply, it's a shampoo tray from Amazon. I'll post the link in the description when I get home today.
