Your mom did a GREAT job!

I think so too!

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

I am only at 0.18. Sooooooo Glad you didn't let her Talk you into cutting them off. She was just tired and didn't really probably feel like doing them very small locs. You have to keep up with your maintenance more often. That was your only problem. Just care for them more. Glad to see you gave us a update. Also Glad you listen to Us and Your mom. Mom Always Knows Best! 🧡🤍

[@praisehimnetworktwashingto254]

Oh please tell why no more conditioner???😳😅😅😅

[@TyKaraAnn]

Apparently using conditioner could be apart of the reason my locs are still somewhat loose at the ends

[@praisehimnetworktwashingto254]

@@TyKaraAnn 😅😅 ok Thankyou…Princess! 💜 I love my curly ends lol

[@hawtnsweet]

Thank God for mums! Trust mum to save the day. I kept wondering what her opinion was on everything going on with your locs, especially since I remember clearly that I started following your channel while she was installing them. That was partially my inspiration for installing 646 microlocs on my daughter's 4c hair in 2019. I know I wouldn't stand by and let a loctitian throw all my investment in time and love in the trash. Good on her for stepping in, and kudos to you for being willing to be vulnerable and transparent , and humble enough to ask for help.

[@AdriaLateis]

I’m glad your mom is doing your hair. I’d love to see a time lapse of your retie.

@@TyKaraAnn Make sure you do a time lapse video if you can. That's such a great idea!

Glad your mum did it. I side eye the locitian that cut your locs without reattaching them

[@tcoleman6167]

Same!

[@glamferbreakfast]

I feel the same way

[@MissPrissRN88]

Because I was like…. “is she not going to reattach them?” 🥴

[@treceivery7781]

Great.. I feel like there was a solution ☺️

[@TyKaraAnn]

I hope so!

[@jaimebrown2390]

So glad you’re not letting them cut your locs! I’ve also had a Loctician suggest that I cut mine and I felt it was more for her convenience than my benefit smh

[@tcoleman6167]

Exactly

[@TyKaraAnn]

[@unknownx2k7]

I think picking lint weakens your locs. Maybe try colouring your hair to hide them

[@lalac1378]

I agree it thins them out I saw a great video where a lady coloured hers with permanent marker

[@Afrodite96]

It basically unraveling the loc. The opposite of what you want your locs to do. I dyed mine.

[@ariesmry]

Commenting to boost. I noticed it also that the manipulation required to pick out the lint was creating a weaker point in the loc.

[@TyKaraAnn]

I was planning on combining them but I didn't want to combine them with lint still in them. I may have to look into coloring them

[@treceivery7781]

I was thinking the same thing 😔

[@iknowican2011]

Your mom is the best. Just like my Aunt said, "You can't just let anyone in your hair." You need to learn from your mom, so that you can do your own hair. Start in the back. It will force you to continue over days to finish the front. Good luck continuing the loc journey.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thank you!

[@Afrodite96]

Moms always have patience and extra love and care extended to their children! Glad she’s gonna help.

[@TyKaraAnn]

❤

[@conniemcdaniel2400]

Yes

[@gibel13]

I won’t worry about the lint right now. Get the roots retightened and your grid situated first, then try doing a loc detox to try to get some of the lint and buildup out. I won’t attempt it now just in case your roots get even more matted.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Ok thanks!

[@shavonSLP]

YES for the time lapse!!! Loving your hair journey!

[@TyKaraAnn]

😊 thank you

[@domoniqueedwards5856]

Hi, i hope you’re well. I have locs and I use conditioner as well. If you get around to this question I’d like to know why you were told not to use conditioner anymore. Thank you

[@TyKaraAnn]

I was told using conditioner for my hair is necessary right now and could be a part of the reason my ends are not locking

[@msbgr8]

Loc repairable are incredibly time consuming, so I get why they suggested that to you. I wouldn't have cut mine either.

[@Laurenmu87]

Best tips is just accept it,colour the locks this is optional and try methods to avoid more in the future.

[@NoFillyEryn]

What’s the jazz song you used for background music?

[@DC-tv9fj]

For those commenting that locticians suggest cutting for their own convenience that's not necessarily the case. Repairs are charged by the hour, so if you've got the money best believe they have the time.

[@paballomolingoane2009]

Moms should wear capes🥰 your hair is looking happy and lovely but picking lint can cause weak spots which will be the place where your location then break. Brush your hair with a soft brush can help as well as detoxing. The reality is Locs collect lint and the can’t really be avoided.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Mrs_pink_89]

Yes would love to see a time lapse retie video

[@TyKaraAnn]

[@legacybyzenora7964]

Show use what she does with the loose hair that is longer than the interlocking.

[@2006aquila]

Question: why do you remove the lint. I am thinking removing the lint weakens the locks, is this so. Personally I would dye it. Let me know...

[@TyKaraAnn]

I planned on combining them, so I wasn't too worried about it. I may end up spot dyeing the rest though!

[@virtualrealitystudy7114]

So happy you aren't cutting them.....no need to. Let mama get your right.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thanks!

[@suganspyce-sharli]

Hey sis. Just fyi. I use to pick my lint also but was told you can damage the loc integrity by picking cause you may be breaking strands of hair also. Try a detox wash it helped alot for me. Also I’m glad mom is helping. 🎉

[@candytoocool]

Watching you remove the lint was so satisfying 😌

[@TyKaraAnn]

Right?!

[@busymommat]

I’d like to see how your mom will fix your hair.

[@tinarjackson9844]

You need too braid and band in smaller sections. Please be more patient be in doing your hair. You've spent all this time on this journey babe... don't let impatience ruin your journey! Get back to wearing a bonnet at night! If you braid and band your hair when washing you can blow dry your roots much easier. Also section your hair off when doing the lent!

[@Jaanechan]

I'm so glad you made that decision, too. Your Mom will take much better care of your hair (being more patient, etc.) during the whole repair process. In a perfect world, we would be able to easily find natural hair professionals who are willing and able to help with emergency situations like this. **Hugs** and love to you both!

[@TyKaraAnn]

[@nellymckenna6552]

You should do like an hour of loc picking with that jazzy background...so soothing

[@TB-B]

Girl, I was going to comment in your last video that you should not go back to that loc consultant, because cutting your locs should not have been her main suggestion...but I didn't want to be negative 👀. Glad your mom was able to help you out.

[@trindiemus2426]

You can tell the difference of someone doing it coz they have to vs someone doing it coz they care. Your mom was really taking her time to salvage the lock and maintaining your grid too....the loctition....😒, Not some much. So glad you're doing it with mom now.

[@Sisss777]

No shade but how did the back of your hair get that broken off? Was it because you waited too long to retie? I have microlocs too I’m just trying to learn from your mistake, I started retwisting because it was taking too long to interlock but I also noticed some of my locs were thinning

[@TyKaraAnn]

Yes I haven't been keeping up with my retie schedule

[@daffodil4500]

Sweetheart don't pick the lint out of your hair it weakens the shaft of the loc because you're picking out strands of hair in the process which causes breakage and thinning. I know this sounds crazy but use a lemon dishwashing liquid to clarify and remove lint build up then use apple cider vinegar and baking soda to do a detoxification soak or you can buy loc detox bombs and keep your locs submerged for about 30 minutes to an hour. Either one of them will soften the lint up and remove it completely or almost completely. The water will look mucky. Rinse until it's clear. You're damaging your own loc by picking out the lint babe. You can check out Yannie the Locologist on KZbin. She don't do microlocs but she gives good advice on how to care for your locs in general. All the best in your journey ❤.

[@daffodil4500]

Don't do the detox too often by the way. Once every 4 or 6 months is fine.

[@afrowatercolor]

Yes, I would like to see a time lapse of your mom doing your hair.❤️

I know that picking out lint can sometimes damage your locs especially cause they’re small so have have thought to dye your hair so you can’t see the lint anymore?

[@AKIYIAKELLY]

Please Be Careful getting lint out. It can Damage your Loc. Check Out This Video I done: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKu2q2Whrdqspqs

[@eristotle2380]

hmmm... i wouldn't 'pick cotton' on the locs where it's pretty embedded. looks like you're shredding the loc to remove it. micros and SLs can't take that kind of 'surgery', lol. you have the right tools, but add a sharp needle, and then do checks weekly to catch lint before it gets to that point. i've done it like that for almost 10 years, and it does work. thanks for sharing!

[@NaturallyKayD]

Just curious, is there anything that can be done to prevent lint buildup? Asking a Loc newbie.

[@TyKaraAnn]

I would say keep your locs covered at night with a scarf and try not to wear shirts with fuzzy textures that could transfer to your hair.

[@MyiaLaShaun]

Glad your mom doing it. But I would suggest leaving the link be. Cuz you're breaking the loc down and pulling hair with the link.

[@Nothingisnewunderthesun]

Hooray

[@TyKaraAnn]

[@mylifeaszoey2335]

I’m glad you didn’t let them cut your locs your hair is so beautiful! I’m no loc expert but a well trained loctician should have been capable of reattaching your locs. There are reattaching videos all over KZbin to prove it.

[@solangeWilliams]

I'm glad your mom is able to fix your hair so no one has to cut it. I would like to see how she fixes your hair.

[@Lilthis_n_that]

I wouldn't cut anything but what was in the back in some areas. Microlocs can be low maintenance however you cannot sleep on the interlocking sessions. That's nothing to play with. I started my daughter's locs 11mo ago. Feel free to see her locs on my yt page. They're red and adorable

[@ALifeUncomplicated]

Thats what us moms do. When we see our babies hurting we do what needs to be done to stop the hurt. I could tell from your last video you were hurting. Thank goodness for your mom!!

are you comfortable putting the mic right on your mouth with the music off? It will capture wind in every word you say and the wind will make your voice sound unique.

[@TB-B]

Consider using an eyeliner marker to color the lint. This will keep you from having to pick at your locs which can weaken them in the long run.

[@Danajanene]

I'm so happy that your mother is going to do your hair for you. I was not feeling these people just cutting your hair for less work for themselves.

[@TheMrsB]

The loctitian wouldn’t have less work to do by cutting the locs down to new growth and reestablishing plus correcting any issues with the grid or combining as others have suggested. It doesn’t make sense to say she’s trying to make it easier on herself because she’s not beholden to doing this young women’s hair. if she didn’t want to do the work she could simply say so and Tykara can find another solution as she clearly has. She’s not working for free I assume, so either way she’d be paid for her services. Maybe she’s experienced enough in her craft or has seen enough problems with hair that hasn’t been properly/regularly maintained to know whether or not the locs can be saved long term and have a healthy outcome and appearance.

[@Danajanene]

@@TheMrsB I've looked at several people getting them installed and they are charged a base price and then a price based on the number of inches of your hair. I do understand what you are saying though. I'm glad she was able to achieve what she was going for.

[@Lifeofjenae]

Thank goodness! I’m glad you didn’t get rid of a good thing. You inspired me to go on my sister lock journey and it’s been the best decision of my life so far. Of course there’s been ups and downs like …locs unraveling. Then coming to the decision to combine some because I have really thick hair so I realized having so many locs was too much to handle. But with the help of my sisloctician it’s been much easier on me mentally and now I have 470ish locs as opposed to 535 it really made a difference. So I’m very happy to hear you are receiving help. Because your hair is beautiful. And the back is looking good.

[@TyKaraAnn]

[@LadyDee150]

Thank God for a mother like yours. A mother's love and patience are unmatched. I am so glad that your Mom decided to take things in hand so you won't have to cut so much of your hair off. Your hair looks really neat so far. Good luck with the whole process.🥰🌺

I've literally just installed mines a few minutes ago.. lol.. It took 17 hours to complete.

[@authenticsophia]

I am glad your mom saved your hair. I wouldn't go back to that loctitian. I know the lint in the hairvis annoying but it's better to leave it then pick at it cause over time the area that you picked will get thin and break off in that area. ( experience thought me that). I'm proud of you for not giving up on your choice.

[@SundayDreamin]

I’m so happy you decided not to cut it. I started my own micro locs and I maintain all of the maintenance. It is very time consuming and things can go left real fast. But at the end of the day no one will take care of your hair in the same way you do. That is why I chose to do mine myself. Because the process can be irritating lol.

[@TyKaraAnn]

That's true!

[@Tiye4]

I’m just curious if you use a towel for locs after washing? Also, I found that sleeping on silk pillowcases wasn’t enough to keep the lent away, so I need an religious about keeping it covered at night

[@TyKaraAnn]

I usually use a black t shirt

[@monicabranch7011]

Yassss I was just commenting on the last video and I realized you put this video up. Lol. But yes totally can be saved I felt like reading the comments I was throwing the lady under the bus. Ive braided hair for over 25 years so I know some things about hair. But I wanted to be honest. And I’ve watched your videos from the beginning, I would also search out videos of loc fails, and loc issues for years just to hear the things that people were told or the choices they regretted. I just really didn’t see much of a grid and was like kind of taken by it. Plus the consultation vs the actual installation changed a lot to me. But glad mom is doing your hair. Hopefully you can keep it up that way for a while let mom do it when she has the time! Lol. Can’t wait to see the videos to come.

[@MilahandTheChanges]

Quick note: I think the lint you are seeing is actually buildup from your conditioner. Picking it out is going to destroy your locks. I would try an anti residue shampoo a couple times and/or an apple cider vinegar and dish soap soak for an hour to see if that helps any. Glad you decided not to cut. Locticians have to be mindful of their time while keeping costs reasonable. I don’t understand though why she didn’t finish the reti first and save repairs for a future session. Sister Loc consultants are great but they can be limited in Loc experience and too focused on having a perfect grid. I would try an SL consultant that also does other types of locs.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Sis please stop taking tweezers and pulling your hair shaft apart . That is so unhealthy for the integrity of your shaft . That may be why you have broken/thinning locs . If you are going to do the tweezer method ATLEAST add Aloe aloe and oil to the section to add some slip .
