I love your video my aunt has sisterlocs for 9 years and feels that a lot of Loctician are money driven and push for the every 4 weeks. I am 15 months in and I prefer going about 7-8 weeks because I like the fullness. Great video I like the knowledge

I’ve been locked for almost 5 years. I had to start self maintenance because my Locktician retightens my hair TOO FAST and I could hear my hair pop as she would pass the lock through the base. She recommended a 6 week schedule and advised if I did not maintain same I would have BUMPY locs! At first I followed that advice to the letter because I wanted congruent locs!! Then I realized my hair texture would NOT produce a bumpy appearance because I have very soft 4C hair that is perfect for locking and does not bunch!! Now I retighten every 8 weeks and my locs are still uniform and have not thinned out because my hair grows approximately 1/2 per month and the hairs are not shedding/slipping out from base of the lock. That’s my theory at least! Hopefully I won’t experience problems in the future as I’ve been on this schedule for the past 6 months or so. Thank you for another great honest and informative video!!

If you like it, I love it! But if this is the new trend I will take my Cosmo license and do something else. If people like it loose and not tight to the root I’m fine with it but 2 rotations is double the time and it’s not making sense to me. 8 weeks? 1 rotation.

Your locs are beautiful and I really enjoy watching your videos! You are very engaging 😊 I agree, 4 weeks is too early and I have hair that grows away from the locs in my front section. However, I can still make it 6-8 weeks before I retighten again. Next time I retighten my hairline I feel like I'll have to say "gentle" over and over to remind myself not to get too heavy handed 🖑

After my install, I went back four weeks later and my consultant pushed me out to 5 weeks. I did that consistently for about a year, then I moved to another state and it took FOOORRREVER to find another consultant who was actually accepting transfer clients so I went 14 weeks before I got back on a 5-week schedule. I personally like getting retightenings every 5/6 weeks. I plan on taking the retightening class so that if I ever have trouble getting an appointment I can at least do it myself.

I've heard & read that you can overly retie, as the constant tension can compromise the roots. I'm 8+mo's in and go every 4 weeks. With over 670 locs, re-ties are a pain in the butt & pocket! The saving grace is that although expensive, my loctician is great. My hair is thick, healthy and averages about 1/4-1/2" growth/monthly (but the shrinkage is Real! lol). Once I reach the 12mo mark, I will insist on pushing out to 5 weeks regardless of what she says. Eventually, I want to get to 7 week re-tie mark. I will slowly begin to learn how to re-tie myself (and NoT by taking the SL class!) to gain control. I absolutely HaTe having to totally rely on someone else to maintain my hair! Thank you for your time and service to us, TnisiaAli, for these informative vids! xox~

I retighten my own hair, and have been since I installed my microlocs two years ago. I retighten when I see growth and when my roots start to nest up. In the summer, I experience a little more growth and loose hair, thus I retighten more frequently, at around 4 weeks. During other months, I retighten anywhere between 5 to 6 weeks, only when I see that my hair is growing and/or feel that it is nesting. I once went 8 weeks in between retightening, and it was so much work to get my hair back on track. I'm not a stickler for my diamond grid, although it is pretty when I do spend extra time to emphasize and highlight it. I have allowed my locs to show me how they want to be, and I retighten accordingly. NO, I do not love the "plucked chicken" lol, I try not to tighten them so tight as to produce that effect, lol. Sending an energetic smile to you and this community you've built!

Yes my grows quick but going that often is stressing my hair. 8 year later no need for it. I'm going to stretch it out more think next time I do it will be 11-12 weeks so my hair has time to just rest and be free. I need my thick hair again like years. By the way your hair beautiful!

Hi Tunisia ~ Initially I was on a 4 week retightening schedule, followed by 6 week retightening schedule. Currently, I'm on a 8-10 weeks retightening schedule. I took the retightening class; however, I prefer to go to my consultant because it takes me about a week to finish my entire head. I have a tendency to create knots in my locks. I have been locked for 7 years. I paid $125 and she takes approximately 3 hours if I stick to 8 weeks. If I go beyond 8 weeks, it may take her longer to complete my retightening session.

My establishment was in December 2018. I've been on a 6 week regimen. I went to 8 weeks only once and I regretted it. My hair is Brillo pad thick, probably 4B. Ironically, my nape unravels EVERY time. Its is super soft. My loctitian made them bigger and gave me a locking spray to try and keep them this time. But if I went every 4 weeks I probably wouldn't have enough new growth and I think I'd end up spending more money in the long run.

My hair has always been fine and I have some tinder spots. Since, I’m past 6 weeks my stylist is charging me an extra 10 an hr. It usually, takes her 2hrs or 2.5. I know it’s probably going to take her longer so I was prepared for that. She never stated if I don’t come in every 6 weeks she would do an up charge per hr.

That's an amazing observation. I just spoke about something similar in my video today about 'Questions you must ask your regular loctician'. Hopefully, it will post in the bext few days. Ultimately I feel the quality of the reti is a bigger threat than the frequency. This depends on WHO is doing the RETI and HOW they are doing it. It is likely due to your gentleness that your frequency isn't an issue. Love it!!!! Give it a shot and keep an eye on it once returning to her. It can be the difference between hair loss and hair growth. Thanks for sharing!

Initially WAIT!!!!! Call her back and see what she suggests. I believe I was told wither 4 or 6 weeks, BUT Braid and Band and don't be rough. Be very gentle. Don't budge without braiding and banding first. DO NOT use regular shampoo. It will be too softening, most of them. Reconnect with her and she what SHE says since she did the install. That would be my first option, before entertaining anything else. Normally, a new install comes with the Sisterlock shampoo that roughens the cuticle (I think) or they suggest you buy it. I use Dr. BRONNERS and mix with 1 parts shampoo to 3 parts water. If I were at the beginning I would greatly the ration of water to shampoo 4:1 probably.

@@solangeWilliams WoW, you wash twice a Week?!? I wash twice a Month. Do you braid&band? I'm new at this (8+mos in) but perhaps that is why your scalp is dry. You're not giving your scalp time to build up sebum. Especially when I'm on a H20 drinking craze, I can feel the natural oil (sebum) in my hair. Making it shiny, moist feeling (not dry like straw), and healthy looking. Additionally oil can cause slippage; but your Consultant recommends it, so I cannot over-ride her. Other than a few drops of essential oils I put in my spray bottle (which I only use periodically), I do not oil my scalp/hair (but when I was loose natural, I oiled as if there was a fishfry in my head). After about 2 mo's after install, my head started making it's own natural oil-sebum (the more H20 I drink, the better). My scalp is not dry, flaky, itchy (I understand each head is different, but just trying to offer a tip or two). Only daily products I use is alkaline water or rose water w/o glycerin. I use my essential oil spray about once a week. Wishing you well! Good luck! But I'm in same boat as you regarding edges slipping out. Top forward still has loose ends; back loose ends are locking up. My consultant just keep putting my edges right back in, and they are taking hold.

I'll have more patience with them and if by year 2 (in 6 months) they don't want to stay put, then I'll do what Tunisia said above 🤷🏾‍♀️. Thanks for the advice 😁

After I went in for my free reti she suggested every 4 weeks but her reti fee is $150. So I showed my girlfriend how to reti my hair. I’m on the schedule with every four weeks with one rotation. I think I may push it to every 8 weeks after my 1 year Ps She’s a certified trainee :) but her time isn’t fast enough

JazLytrice please don’t focus on time. As a Sisterlock trainee I see the breakage fast locticians do. It’s physically impossible to do a neat job with these unrealistic timings. 8 weeks will cause marrying and breakage. People are just slipping in and out of your hair snapping the other hairs that hold your locs together. They don’t care. Yes I want my money too but I want my work to be neat. I have hair down to my butt. Everyone wants to know how. Well I’m super gentle and loving to my hair so I don’t believe in rough housing other people’s hair. People think married locs are normal. No, it’s the last resort. Read the book. I’m sure your gf has it or has took notes on it.

I installed this past March. I’ve been tightening as they slip from shampooing and daily spraying. Oiling my scalp too. I took pics today and my crown has thinned a lot. My hand in hair days are officially over! My scalp is a little tender in places but not from tightening too tight. How long do you think I should wait before tightening them again?

I established my starters by interlocking about 1.5 months ago. When I shampoo or wet my hair every day, some of my interlocks have large slippages, like they are about to come loose. I find myself tightening them almost daily, but leave about 1-2 rotations from the roots. This sometimes results in me marrying locs so I have to take them down and restart them. What’s your professional opinion on the tightening when they slip?

It can be difficult to say. You need to stop the slippage, but there is likely more to your story that woukd be meaningful to consider. ✨Take the RIGHTEOUS Hair Course butterfly-transformations.teachable.com/courses/righteous-hair Sign up for the I Am Melanin Magic DISCORD group to communicate OPENLY as a collective about your loc experiences and share your services, reviews, videos, challenges and triumphs! discord.com/invite/rdVSGW2K3M Watch the YT video dedicated to all of my loyal subscribers and IAMM customers kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6msqoR6p9ugg5Ysi=fd4moxrkMZ8-JYJS

Ahwww nice sweet spot. Unsure about breakage on the ends if your hair wasnt permed oreviouskybor colored.....hmmmmmmm......that's strange. Any chemical treatment? I wonder if it could be excessive dryness or hard water?
