How To keep Lint Out of Your Locs- 29th month update | Kendra Kenshay

[@KendraKenshay]

Are y’all brushing your locs? What are the benefits?

[@anydae]

Eventually I would. This month it will be 5 months with my microlocs! Your hair is fierce sis

[@kellya3162]

Brushing definitely removed lint for me! I was so surprised that it actually worked. My sisterlocs are already frizzy and it didn't make them more or less frizzy.

[@ElisiasEvolution]

I dont... I'm 22 months, I only use shampoo as well

I'll be at month 5 on 4/1 and I just spot dyed for the first time since having microlocs. I haven't worn a middle part for that sole purpose. Lol

[@spiritualcosmeticss]

I don’t have locs and do not plan on getting them but this is so interesting and your locs look so good. I remember your many hairstyles b4 the locs and I think u could make anything look good on your head.

[@yolandahall2615]

Velcro I heard for lint.😮Brush uh no. I like tweezers idea!

[@tommonica1]

They are gorgeous! I'm just 3 weeks in with micrlocs with extensions. I've never subscribed to anyone but you will be extremely helpful on this journey❤

[@deeyalafleur-moore7982]

Whew Chiiiilllleee... I felt you in the no grey hair at this time. I just diy re-installed my microlocs on Saturday, but not before I touched up those greys first! I thought I was ready for grey,, but mine are just not coming in cute yet...lol I love your hair, BTW. LOVE the update!🙌🏽💜🙌🏽

[@kimledwards5795]

Same for me sis about the grey. Mine are serious right in the front. Inherited from both parents. I am on schedule to get locs installed in the next couple weeks or sooner and I know that it will be a trial once my grey starts growing out again. I usually dye my hair every few months depending on how I am feeling at the moment. Once the locs are installed I will see from there if its something I can embrace or whether I will have to slap some dye in it again. Peace and blessings.

[@deeyalafleur-moore7982]

@@kimledwards5795 mine are also coming in strong in the front/my edges. Lol If I said out loud how I've been maintaining the grey-less look people would look at me crazy. Part of the reason that I self installed was because I wanted the freedom to manage my hair as I see fit. I was told that I couldn't color my hair with babylocs, but I'm doing so other stuff that isn't recommended, but is working for me. Good luck to you on your journey!💜

[@kimledwards5795]

@@deeyalafleur-moore7982 Lol.. I understand you gotta to what works for you and your hair. When I find something that works I'm sticking to that. Same to you. Happy Loc-ing

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Love it, love it, love it! Baby it’s the locs for me, it’s the locs for me! Kendra I love your locs hun! Thank you for sharing! I am 2 weeks post install and I am loving my hair and really looking forward to this journey. I think you one of my top 3 loc crushes that really sealed the deal for me to get sister locs! Thank you 🙏🏿

[@kimbyars5969]

I just started microlocs Friday and I am overwhelmed with info and research 😩 but your videos give me hope

[@terrineron6691]

I use a board hair brush with are very soft bristles, brushing lightly not to disturb your locs just to catch the lint only. It works well for plus adds lots of shine to my hair. You do have to check hair often so lint don't get embedded in the locs. I do use silk pillow case and scarf too, very little lint.

[@jannelledear2645]

I got my microlocs installed on 8/29 and it’s been amazing. No regrets, besides wishing I had done it sooner.

[@syekiahenderson]

Soooo, I started my loc journey probably about a month before you. It was August 9th, 2019 so I am going on 3 yrs. I was so excited to see that you had locs too, I was like yassssss……cuz I needed all the help I could get. I love the coconut oil mist, and just recently started making my own organic rosemary oil for my scalp. I love the freedom of my locs. I’m getting kinda lazy with mines though. I wait a full two months before I retie just to give my scalp a nice break. Believe it or not, I still have a few around the perimeter that will unravel. And I also realized that my hair grows at different speeds, so l have some that need maintenance more often than the rest of my head. I have been combining my locs also, but now that they are mature, they are not locking together. So now I’m kinda stuck with a few two headed monsters. Has that happened to you also?

[@syekiahenderson]

Oh and also, this past year, I started to do an ACV rinse every 6 months to detox my locs. I usually see any lint build up that’s deep in the locs come to the surface when I do that.

[@Tiye4]

What’s the ratio for diluting the ACV

[@ameliedomori5412]

I've experienced lint in the back row of my locs and I brush them and use a satin pillow case. I will definitely try dying it because it seems to be the most efficient way.

[@muhlezza]

I’m a 2 months in !!!!! So excited and there are growing beautifully. I aim to do my reties every 6-8 weeks. There can be quite expensive so I try my best to allow my scalp to rest before I retire again

[@stanicedaley6477]

This journey has been the BEST. I’m a year in.

[@tcoleman6167]

That hang-time is happening, Sis! Yaaaas!!

[@KendraKenshay]

Yassss

[@TheAmateurJeff]

Thank you for sharing this video. I did a detox the other day and was devastated to find that I have lint. I'm less hard on myself knowing that even the loc baddies👑 have some lint. I don't even sit on the couch without a bonnet, like HOWWW did this happen?? I wear a lot of black cotton hoodies (thinking I'm safe) but I think that the black dye fades over time and just leaves gray buildup. I'm running to the beauty supply store right now to grab some dye. Thnx boo.😘

[@aramideugbomeh]

Nice👍🏽 one beautiful, I got all the gist, the tips and tricks😁 My locs are about few months and it's so true that sometimes no matter what you do to prevent lints, those notty things will find their way in, especially at the back but coverings do help to prevent it to a minimal level.

[@DanaLynnette]

Hello! Your color looks great. It definitely adds a nice luster to your hair. I am all about dying the lint! 😂

[@KendraKenshay]

Lol girl yesss 🤣🤣

[@rhondasimpson4971]

Your locs are thriving and lovely 😍 im 5 mos in and lovin' it. Thanks for sharing this update. ✌🏾😘

[@thisnaturalgirlislocd]

Your locs are flourishing beautifully 😍 I'm a scarf addict 🤣 so I definitely contributed to the lint at the nape of my locs🤦🏽‍♀️...Okay I will try and patiently wait for your loc jewels/sprinkles 😄

[@NaturallyLuvingMe]

Hi Kendra, have been following you fa years!!! Decided to do microlocs in September. I've been scouring your videos and posts to see if you talk about it, but did you experience any frizzyness? Thanks, I love your knowledge. You're my go to for all things natural hair, plus!

[@KendraKenshay]

Yes I experience frizziness, I just embrace it. I don’t do anything to prevent it.

[@nicolepolite3877]

Hi Kendra K. Nice seeing you, great update, your hair just continues to shine✨✨✨

loved this video !!! do you plan on keeping your hair around this length with regular trims or just letting it grow out and do it’s thing :)?

[@KendraKenshay]

I will keep a shoulder length bob if not shorter. I don’t care for long hair on my neck 😩

[@tammydixon3257]

Hello Kendra, the question I have for you is how long before you can start to do different styles to your new sisterlock after installation? I plan to start my sisterlock journey in late June 2022. Thanks for the information, much of your information has lead me on the decision of sisterlock journey, for I've been wearing micro braids and crochet hair stlye of and on for the last 30 years, so I'm very excited to start my lock journey. I may get brave and post a photo in the future.

[@Shanaecarter]

needed these tips! I feel like the lint or build up happens so much and I am noticing it in my front now 😒

[@Hiishihapoy]

Hi recently started following u on...I have 12 years traditional locs but will be starting micro in May. BTW love your fold chains, where did u get them?

[@s.k.7864]

That hair is looking good! Wow

[@Kay_ivery]

Love your hair and your loc journey. I’m seriously considering…scratch that I’m getting locs…I’m just still unsure about getting Microlocs or Sisterlocs…. I want the freedom of Microlocs seem to bring, I see a lot more people self maintaining their Microlocs opposed to sisterlocs. I really want the grid of sisterlocs and I’m not that skilled so doing it myself is out of the question as far as establishing my locs. But further down the line I want to cut some of the future expenses I’ll accumulate over the lifespan of my loc journey. My main question is since they are so similar to sisterlocs what was the deciding factor for you to choose Microlocs vs. Sisterlocs? Maybe you’ve addressed in pass videos so I’ll look out for it but yeah love to hear your thoughts on it.

[@KECHIAG]

Hey Kendra! Your hair is BEAUTIFUL!!! I see that you are located in Louisville, so am I! Can I ask where you got your locs installed? I just installed my own, but I want to add about 150 locs, and I’m tired!! 🤣. Please let me know where you got yours done…..thanks!?

[@CeeJay254Art]

Your locs look beautiful and thick. I have a question. If you dont use any conditioner on your hair, how do you maintain your hair to prevent it from drying out since you dye your hair? Do you use a shampoo meant for dyed hair? I want to dye my hair but fear my hair will break. I am 16 months locd

[@KendraKenshay]

I spritz with water daily and steam my hair. No special shampoos for dyed hair.

[@terririchardson6225]
