I found the cheat code to this. I cut my front locs into bangs like Swae Lee when he had dreads. And I never put my bangs's into my ponytail so they always stay down and never get pulled on. And that way I also hide my tape line so I don't need to get lineups in the front. I just get my sides and back faded when I go to the barber. I'm protecting my hairline and bitches love my bangs 🤣

I been doing this even before I got dreads in general. I only get hair cuts for specials events or occasions. I only had 3 haircuts and 3 retwist this year. It’s been a month since I had my last haircut but it’s fine those months going without a haircut hit different than getting every 2 weeks 😂

I highly recommend y’all listen to him. I started out with a full head of locs in 2012 and with constant retwisting and line ups, I ended up with a pushed back hairline and a high top fade by 2022. It was a tough decision to make but I decided to cut off my locs this June. I’m getting them reattached next month with some extensions to fill my head back up.

I made this mistake when I was younger, with all of the lineups. Eventually it did push my hairline back. I stopped getting line ups so frequently and started using minoxidil to bring it back.

dude i came to this conclusion a while ago. fucc line ups. i have semi free form dreads and i have a natural thick and decently straight hair line. I realized i don't constantly need a line up for my hair to look good. and i have been loving not needing to go to a barber. look at models like luka sabbat and lenny kravitz they have long dreads with no taper or lineups, and it looks so good on them. black people are the main ones that focus so heavy on needing a lineup 24/7.

[@nicmcnish134]

I think it’s important to tell your barber to not dig into your locs. Specify where they need to cut it down and where to stop. Many barbers dig into the locs on the edges causing this.

As a barber, I keep the hairline natural. And if any lineup needs tapering. Then I’ll barley go up. I feel it should be no more then an inch thick. Not all the way to the middle of your forehead. Unfortunately I can’t control how far back my previous clients hairlines were cut from previous barbers.

I miss my locs hella bad. I was getting the moon roof and slowly noticed it Lmao. It was bound to happen anyway because baldness runs in my family. But if I would’ve followed these things in my journey, I could’ve went further. Man I swearrrr I ain’t like the tapered hairline. I always called it the Omarion hairline lol. But I deff needed that tapered hairline or thicker locs in the front in order to go further in my journey.

Prior to starting my loc journey, I got a low fade to help preserve my hairline. The last time I got a lineup was a little over 2 months ago. Do you think after awhile, the more I get retwists but no lineup after that my loctition might accidentally take the hairs that are for my hairline and put them in the locs that border my hairline?

[@prodbykodiak]

Yes would take long ash tho

[@youngdreflaco]

I dont really get linups, maybe every two months, but i do the same style every month like lil durk before the wicks i also have a tapered linup, and i noticed that my two strand dreads sit right on the corners of my hair line and directly on top of my 90 degree side lines, in the last 2 months ive realized that im thinning in the corners and on one side my side hairl line is balding and puahing back, i think this is due to the friction from my locs to on the hair directly under theem. Anyone experiancing this? I want to just lose the style all together and try leaving my locs in a pony tail or just off my hairline tbh to see if itll grow back

I grew my hair for a year & made a mistake by getting a front & back taper line up & I regretted it & cut it. I’m now growing my hair out for 4 months with no line up just a small tape up I do myself. I preferred cornrows naturally laid on my hairline.

[@_justusharris]

Becareful ya’ll having your tapered hairline for too long without switching it up can cause traction alopecia. When you taper your hairline your essentially parting it in the front and parting your hair for long periods of time can cause damage.

[@JayMitchellMusic]

In hindsight, watching this video now, would’ve been more helpful about four years ago. I was literally doing all of the things he said not to do and because of my ignorance, I lost a lot of locks around my sideburns and nape areas. When I initially had my locks started, I had a full head of lox. Now, I’ve lost about a quarter of my logs primarily in those areas aforementioned. So for those who are on the fence, especially regarding getting lineups, I advise from experience get your re-twist first, then your lineup. Please.

What made you decide to go from full to high top if you don't mind me asking? I got high top and mine are shoulder length but just started growing out the sides

[@TPlocks]

I cut my full set off completely actually! That was my set from college and HS. I chose the hightop the second time because of the versatility. My hair is super thick. (95 locs and not even using half my head!😅) When I had a full set, I couldnt wear hats, couldn’t do pineapples or ponytails, it just seemed limiting. Those things wouldn’t prevent me from getting them today but it was definitely my reason for starting em. That and the growing number of folks that gave me the confidence to grow them as hightops. Prior to Killmonger, there weren’t many depictions of hightop lockers in mainstream! Seeing him, dynasty tv, Gunther and all those guys with em, inspired me to try them! Glad I did! Feel like it’s the best of both worlds in one!

[@BBW590]

@@TPlocks yea man I'm debating it. I think the high top is more versatile, but i also wear my hair down a lot so I like the way a full set looks when it's down.

I think you have the order reversed. I think preserve your edge hairs first then locks. If you do it the other way around excess tension and receding hairline might occur. Like in this other video you posted: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWHClGx9gcibmqM Saving one hairline at a time 🙂 Love your content though! I just got my hair locked a couple of weeks ago. And yes I gave myself a clean edge up beforehand so those baby hairs weren't incorporated in the lock.

[@TPlocks]

Nah see that video I was definitely the problem. 😅😅I explained in that video that I should have let the loctician know I had an excess taper and to leave some excess. THEN after she parted it and retwisted, the barber would just cut up the extra! When you go to the barber they don’t have a clue where your taper line hair ends and your loc new growth begin. Even if you tell them, they have a hard time being accurate. The loctician is usually a bit better with that when you tell them. In most instances the barber ends up cutting some of your loc new growth. When you leave the chair everything looks fine, but then you got to your loctician for the twist and you’re wondering why your line is fresh but one of them front locs is randomly skinnier and on its way out. Lol That’s just been my experience tho. I say do whatever works best for you at the end of the day! Ultimately there could be some skilled barbers who could do it right if you know them! I’m in a new city! I ain’t risking it no more!! Lol

There's dudes who get lined up everyday of their life and never lose their hairline, it's called genetics, in my family there's like 3 guys with hair in their older age and 2 of them are father and son, that other is my cousin. I started losing my hair at around 20 something and I barely ever got my hair cut because I always had a big head and just didn't like my hair cut so me losing my hair was due to genes not because of haircuts now I take keeps and my hairline is literally all the back I have more hair now than I had at 25. Cutting your hair has nothing to do with growth unless you damage the hair follicle you'll be fine, just check your genes if every dude in your family is bald there's a 90 precent chance you'll be bald too. If you're dad has hair and so do the men on your mother's side you'll be fine. Cutting your hair isn't going to make you bald

I never said at any point lineups are the only reason this happens. I mentioned multiple ways this can occur. Including genetics in this AND prior videos…Of course genetics cause this as well…That doesn’t negate that this happens alllll the time because of what was stated in this video.

[@jurrell1986]

@@TPlocks all im saying is lineups dont do shit unless you have a bad barber destroying your hair every cut, most of the time why men lose their hair is because of genetics, after you said that haircut line i just made my comment and bounced i didnt even finish the video once you started off of the wrong i didnt even bother hearing the rest, not trying to offend because you're just making content doing what you love but still getting your cut in most cases wont affect your hairline

[@TPlocks]

I gotta figure out this video color thing. Anyone else peeped it keep changin?

[@ojieiredia]

Yes it kept changing.. looking a little faded and then going back to normal... It don't distract though

[@chefstevenmurry158]

When I first started my Dreadlock Journey I move my Locks up so the weight wouldn't make my hairline go up.

[@joejones8454]

What about braids

[@wkasi]

I stopped getting lineups period.

[@Shalom878]

That's funny when I had 360 waves I still liked the natural look ; got drop fades no shape up ; now on loc journey, I'm good on shape ups

[@gx4012]

I just don’t cut it so low, I get line ups like once a month 💀

[@zero_linez]

Literally a BORDERLINE pandemic lmao good shit tho man.

[@donnellcorbett7077]

That's why king von was wearing them headbands because his hair line was pushed so far back, just look at the pictures on google thats why his forehead looked so big!

[@babedoe2528]

This for y’all who be getin y’all locs re twisted every two weeks I get my locs done Every eight months I just keep them wash

[@disconnected4398]

A lot of ppl talk down on the black spray but that can save your hairline

[@CarloneLNGLD]

Black spray?

[@GodisGreat931]

Good video but that hat is hard tho. I need me one

[@TPlocks]

That’s that Zara! 😅

[@GodisGreat931]

Good looking out 💪🏾💪🏾

[@Papagramz_]

He said Moon roof hairlines I’m dead 😂😂😂

[@theeALister]

I understand not wanting your locs to be directly on your hairline but why some of y’all got them starting in the middle of your head? 😂😂😂 Anything beyond like an inch and a half looks absurd to me.

[@starplatniumzawarudo9865]

Another thing you can do is let your hairline grow out and dread it little by little until you only got a small amount of taper left that’s what I’m doin rn

[@Blaze0647]

Learned the hard way to avoid barbershops if you don't have already have a retwist. Had to comb out my first set of locs then start over again. I also would recommend getting interlocked more than palm roll retwist.

[@BlessingManeta]
