[@Rose-Inotila]

I love them freeform locs on others, I'm not brave enough to do that. It's always a pleasure hearing your soothing voice Alexis. ❤️

[@nitagentris941]

Hi Alexis. Kudos to you and your brother. Freeform locs are so organic and bold. The look has so much personality and style. I never considered freeform locs. They are as unique as snowflakes. I'm a people watcher and I love people who walk to the beat of their own drum. It keeps our world interesting. How long has your brother been a part of the loc community?

[@AlexisHarris]

So great hearing from you! I look forward to your comments every week!!! I agree. Freeform locs are definitely like snowflakes (never thought of that!!!). Everyone has something beautiful to offer to this world. He’s been loc’d for 5 months 💗💗💗😊 enjoying his journey. He’s a brave young man!

[@PsychicZya]

Did you start what do you cover them at night with?

[@Dfrmsoutheast]

Do I have to use products our can I just sponge and use oil?

[@AlexisHarris]

Great question! You definitely don’t have to use products 😊💕 a sponge, some water, and a little oil could work just as well! Less is more when it comes to freeforming

[@partyboy1076]

When I started freeform I use gel lock ( only used it when I started ) , ONE natural oil for my scalp , little bit of water , sponge(spiky side) , and a medium soft brush.

[@homewithpoppaandbaethomas1589]

So I have been doing my wrong then I don’t need to use a wash towel

[@partyboy1076]

I’m freeforming mines but they starting to look like regular loccs what should I do ? I haven’t got a retwist or anything I’m tryna make em stand up

[@AlexisHarris]

Great question! How long have you been loc’d? Once they mature, they tend to hang instead of rise

[@Jacob59135]

@@AlexisHarris like 9 months now my front still stand up but the rest Lay down but I ain’t get no retwist or anything

[@svgzz8056]

If it’s long enough put a rubber band around ur roots and just leave it there after a while it will stay like that

[@svgzz8056]

@@Jacob59135 or u can tie ur free forms up in sections and it will stay up after a while but just look in yt there r great vids showing how

If it looks like regular locs then that's just how your hair wants to be so let it

Hello Alexis I look forward to your videos every week. Your brother has a beautiful head of freeform locs. Typically us women go for a more manicured look. Hope all is well with you. Have a great week.

After a year I used conditioner for the first time. I'm starting my natural state of hair . I have very very thick hair. I'm going for congo form. Did I screw up with the conditioner?

[@AlexisHarris]

Hey there! Thanks so much for being here. I don’t think you messed up by using conditioner, but if it makes you feel uncomfortable, you can give yourself a little more time before starting your Congos.

[@TheworldisMines901]

@@AlexisHarris 😀Thank you ! Basically I thought it was to late of getting congo dreads because of the conditioner part.

just depends on your hair type, really

how often do i have to wash my hair?

1-2 times a week

does the same process apply if u got 4a / softer hair ?

Great question! Yes, it does.

[@eg2hunnidd885]

@@AlexisHarris did he sponge / brush or just stopped picking one day and it grew out like that?

[@appletree8482]

Yea. Same process but it's easier for 4c type hair to get locs since its already nappy and stuff

[@lilranlo]

Can I just twist my hair till locked and don’t retwist my hair

[@AlexisHarris]

Yup! Sure can

[@9hki1]

Do you have any advice for the growth process of freeform dreads?

[@AlexisHarris]

This is a great question! Thanks for tuning in Marcus. The biggest advice is to let your hair do it’s own thing. There’s freedom in free forming! To protect your locs, you can cover them at night with a silk or satin bonnet. This will help avoid loc breakage. But other than that, it’s all you!!!

[@9hki1]

[@tyronbethel7055]

I freeformed with shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie and their conditioner and shampoo. i shampooed once every two weeks and conditioned about 3 to 4 times a week and i used the curl enhancing as a leave in conditioner that i put in my hair daily during my morning routines. Also i found this new method when you get out the shower wrap your hair with your towel and leave it to dry when you take it off it will come out looking more dreaded everytime idk how but it works for me. I have 4c hair so keep that in mind as well sorry for the lengthy comment but i had to share the gems for freeforms so many people ask me so i just had to share it

[@tyronbethel7055]

also you gotta let it do what it wants to do. it’s very low maintenance and it definitely gonna make you question your self esteem but that’s the beauty of the journey. you grow to love your hair and yourself as you are and you’ll stop seeking validation from everyone else because not everybody gonna like it or understand but as long as you do that’s all that matter

[@AlexisHarris]

This is great!!! Thanks for the tips and the wisdom 🙏🏾💕 happy you’re here in this community!!!

@@AlexisHarris I just got them done today i loved how they came out. it’s really so amazing the things you can do with hair.

[@Tocozym]

Question I have short hair curls like OBJ a fro hawk low. I want to start freeform from this length what I do ? I use a dred brush and circle it around and I put oil to keep it smelling good and healthy. I sweat a lot so I’m undecided how I can do this. I also have to use ketoconazole for my dry scalp twice a week and a condition my hair whenever I sweat a lot or rinse my hair. What your opinion on what I should do ? Thanks

[@jaasminford-faustina4054]

From my research, people have said not to dry hair with a towel bc it pulls on the hair and causes it to get frizzy and break. I've been just wrapping it with a shirt or just squeezing it dry with the shirt.
