Love this look on you! I just wanted to share that I use a few drops of hyaluronic acid to moisturize my locs. I apply it after misting them evenly with my spray bottle (water + a few drops of any essential oil). I think a lot of people sleep on this tbh. It makes your hair feel and look SUPER healthy and hydrated. It’s similar to what it’s like when you use coconut oil, but without weighing it down or making it greasy. Hyaluronic acid is also water soluble so there’s no worry about excessive buildup. Hope this suggestion helps someone :)🖤

[@growqueen]

Thanks for the tip. Going to try this. Off to the shops now.

[@sheilamarshall1510]

Where do you buy plain old hyaluronic acid or what exactly are you using. Thanks

Thank You for getting STRAIGHT to the point.

In order to keep my starter locs moist I steam my hair after moisturizing it and go to sleep with a plastic bag on my head. Since its the winter time I also go outside with a plastic cap on(with a headwrap on top), and just take everything off when I get to my destination. It keeps my hair moist. I do that for 3 days and on the 4th day I remoisturize my hair and/or wash it if it's dirty

Omg thank you!!!Y attention span doesn’t allow me to watch some of these videos on KZbin because they spend 10 minutes prefacing the video. Also you are beautiful! Definitely following. This was helpful. I do everything else but I don’t wrap my hair. Thank you

[@blerdbabe]

My locs went through a brittle phase, so I went back to my tried and true hair mayonnaise. My hair loves protein. I mix a bit of the mayonnaise with my conditioner

I love this. I just dyed my locs recently at the hair salon. I use moisturizer conditioner, oils on my locs and batana oil on my roots

[@msjw1997]

Also DRINK WATER. Hydration starts from the inside ❤

Great advice… ❤Your locs are absolutely gorgeous on you and I love your beauty mole

[@curlslegitbaby2981]

Spraying my hair with anything does nothing. That includes rosewater. Spray and then oil does nothing. I can't wash it a lot either. Yet it's flourishing. When did dry hair become so taboo?

[@my_set_apart_life]

Most people with dry hair experience breakage. And it doesn’t feel good for dry hair to be touching your skin either.

[@zenni4198]

Thank you for sharing. All valuable information. I am embracing my grays, so coloring is not a factor. I also drink close to a gallon of water everyday. Keep these videos coming.

[@tonyabrown7155]

Thank you so much for your help for dry locks. I really needed help with this❤❤❤

[@Ellamay50]

I heard if you keep on watering your hair every day u really drying your hair more what you think about that?

[@sweetnloe]

I heard that you shouldn't wash your hair if you're far away from a retwist, how do i keep my parts and not tangle my hair when washing between retwists?

[@Sertilya]

Conditioner soften my locs.. do you recommend a conditioner

[@MadebyMarisJ]

Hi Keisha! What is your recommended monthly hair routine? How often to use shampoo, conditioner, leave-in, etc.

[@KeishaCharmaine]

I can’t recommend a monthly routine bc there are so many factors; density, porosity, texture, climate, environment, lifestyle, etc. You have to learn your hair by trying things.

[@foxlola1]

can you do a video on moisturizing dyed locs. i use henna to dye my locs and to hide my grays so oiling can be counterproductive would appreciate it

[@Sirnewtzz]

The one thing i fully disagree with is protecting ourselves from any natural element.

[@AerielSade]

Okay so I screwed my locs UP. Dyed them 50 billion times & now they’re brittle and the dye is probably eating at them and allat so how do I restore them?

[@PrincessVior]

Great points 👉 🤗👑💕

[@jenniferslowley4319]

Do you sell products to the UK? Also, do you do products for those of us on a tight budget?

[@Whatiskansolawatching]

Should you use a conditioner on your locs everyday?

[@vondrena]

you so pretty

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Aww thanks!

[@paidahsamushonga9905]

Can i use an aloe plant as a moisturizer for my locs?

[@nuaha021]

I also found I wasn't drinking enough water.

[@ancientsimmer0572]

I’m curious did you every talk about thinning locs

[@KeishaCharmaine]

I’m sure I have. Do you have any particular questions about thinning?

[@jusme2266]

How do you combat the dryness around areas where your glasses reside? Around my ears where the arms of my glasses sit I have chronic dryness. I have come to just dealing with it. But it is an annoyance

[@KeishaCharmaine]

I’ve never heard of that before. Have you considered maybe you’re sensitive to the material of your glasses?

[@jusme2266]

I’ve had it with all types of frames, wire or plastic.

[@ariesgirl6745]

@@jusme2266 omg same with me!!! My edges where my glasses arms are, I feel like their thinning. I feel like if I didn’t wear glasses my hair would be able to be in contact with water, sunlight and stimulation much more.

[@KeishaCharmaine]

@@jusme2266 that’s strange. I wear glasses 90% of the time but don’t experience this. I’m wondering if your glasses are too tight.

[@mariebazile3223]

My question for you what type of conditioner do u use and how do u apply in your locs? Do put the conditioner in your root only or all your locs.

[@KeishaCharmaine]

All over. I use many different ones. Pantene is a staple.

[@barbarapeller]

I used the same conditioner before getting my locs, I didn't change my routine only limited the creams and butter. I shampoo my hair every two weeks with a clarifying shampoo followed by a moisturizer shampoo, (to put the moisture back that the clarifying shampoo strips). I mist my locs daily with, Aleo Vera juice, Rosemary water, a water base leave-in conditioner, and essential oils.

[@terrywilliams2349]

I got to start using WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@elvirascruggs7224]

Not for me !!!!! Dries my hair out😳

[@augustsveryown]

i thought wetting your locs makes it nappy tho

[@nubianqueenb]

Keisha which brand would you recommend for hot oil treatment’s?

[@KeishaCharmaine]

Mine. I use the Horsetail Leaf Growth Oil for hot oil treatments on my shop.

[@prissymcc]

My understanding is that conditioner, oil, & ALL hair products cause buildup, gunk, & dried flakes to get TRAPPED in your locs & Once that stuff gets TRAPPED in your locs, you CANNOT get it out👎🏽 Anyone who can, please address these concerns. Thanks🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@KeishaCharmaine]

All products CAN cause build up. Based on how frequently or how thoroughly you wash, you can absolutely get rid of it. There are also ways to deep clean your locs as well.

[@ccookies1]

My advice is to stick to water based or water soluble products that will dissolve entirely when washed. I wash weekly with a clarifying shampoo (diluted with water) and then a moisturising shampoo (also diluted) and then spray daily with rose/rosemary water and deep condition every 2 weeks with raw aloe vera gel. I retwist whenever I feel like it with homemade flaxseed gel. No oil (which stops actual moisture aka water from penetrating the hair follicle, dries out the scalp and attracts lint) or products.
