[@audreytaylor7265]

First i want to say your hair is beautiful. My SL are 6 years old and i am really concerned about my hairline & want to retighten my hair myself. You mention that you retighten your locks. do you have a video for retightening long locks?

[@PRCharles]

Audrey Taylor hey Audrey how are you? Yes I retighten my locks but don't have a video. I am not at liberty to do so because in taking the SL retightening and Trainiee trainee you are not to disclose the techniques used to retighten locks. Sorry.

[@lataisebeckles1304]

[@camirowe6139]

You make me want sisterlocks... but don't know if I have the patience for the retightening process

[@vernillawahab632]

Love it. New subscriber.

[@shawnise311]

Your hair is stunning!

[@talithasuya8908]

Thank you for the tip on how to massage oil into the scalp. I'm a trying Jane Carter scalp serum on my side edges, but I was uncomfortable rubbing it in when my hair is already so sparse there.

[@PRCharles]

***** Glad to be of help. :-)

[@karensimmons4560]

Thanks for the information 👍

[@gerrygold9273]

Loving you with that magnificent Queen Naffatti hair style. Just Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. 👌🍒💜💕✔💖

[@PRCharles]

Thanks for much +Gerry Gold! Thanks for sharing 😀

[@Nerrrddi]

Perfect! Thank you so much!. I have newbie 2 1/2 month Sisterlocks and I was wondering if there was any way to help with the hairline. I think I wanna tell my consultant to not retighten my front locs all the way. I actually love the look of that anyways. Thank you again for explaining how you take care of your long locs. I want to go to the same length as yours so thanks for the heads up lol #forevermyinspiration

[@PRCharles]

Priscilla Mosby thank you for the love and encouragement. :-) Much love and success on your hair journey. In the beginning I tightened all the way down. Sometimes I do tighten it all the way down in the front. I really go with the flow of what my hair is doing. Thanks for sharing Priscilla! :-)

[@Nerrrddi]

P. R. Charles ah okay. Cool! Thank you! That means a lot coming from you.

[@yvonneneal8063]

I'm watching your video while wearing my own hair bonnet. I never thought to wear it inside out. That may give the special areas along my hairline the TLC that it needs. My SL in this area have yet to stabilize confidently, and I have had my SL for 7 years. Thank you! 😄

[@PRCharles]

+Yvonne Neal-Barfield You're welcome! Thanks for sharing! =)

[@Chemese]

Even before reading the title I was thinking your hairline was perfect.

[@PRCharles]

Chemese awww thank you! Girl I have to work it in the winter. :-)

[@MMs-zx4tx]

Hi, love your channel. So, all those box dyes and semi-permanent colors harm your hair growth? And can you use Eco Styling Gel?

[@PRCharles]

Thank you for the love! Yes +M & M's for some it can. Gels will foster debris and gunk in locks. No heavy products. There are styling lotions out there for locs. Hope this helps and thanks for sharing 😀

[@user-xg3tp9rw4j]

where do you buy your bonnets?

[@PRCharles]

+Kam R I purchase them at the regular beauty supply. I sift through the options (draw string, sewn in elastic, and the band ones) I pick the band ones. My preference. Great question. Thank you for sharing. :-)

[@barbaralattimore-walker7952]

Good evening Ms. Charles, wonderful video very informative I am wondering how I can eliminate / lesson the number of times I am applying hair-color because my roots are probably 40 - 50% gray and my locks are approximately 8.5 years old so if I allow the gray to come in I will have dark brown hair at the ends and silver at the roots. The dye is really drying...any suggestions? BLWalker

[@PRCharles]

Barbara Lattimore-Walker Hi Barbara I am not a cosmetologist. Have you spoken to your colorist or cosmetologist? Can get back too you on that one. I have a few friends that are cosmetologists that deal heavily with gray hair. I'm sure they can lend a few suggestions. :-)

[@barbaralattimore-walker7952]

P. R. Charles Yes, thank you I have inquired however, most suggest waiting until I am older. However, my concern is that I need to color my roots at least every 6 - 8 weeks and I think the use of permanent dye is drying and thinning out my hair especially around the hairline. I look forward to your suggestions. Ms. Barbara

[@PRCharles]

Barbara Lattimore-Walker Hey I consulted with my friend (she's a cosmetologist) she offered that it's best to color professionally because boxed colors are different from professional colors. Also when coloring follow with a deep condition (under the dryer for 15 minutes this will keep the hair from drying out) She said you might be coloring often due to stubborn grays if so you need to get a soak then colored. A soak solution. Run these ideas between your cosmetologist I am sure she/he will come up with a solution that works best for you. I hope this helps. :-) If not inbox me.

[@my4hair]

You are a beautiful Nubian Queen my sista and love your videos. Love your hair & thnxs for sharing. Be bless my sista!

[@PRCharles]

+my4hair Thank you so much for the loc and video love. Appreciate it. Thanks also for sharing :-)

[@KAMALAISHERNAME]

Can you say hair porn?????😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Ummmmmmm..... Yeah, you gotta a new subbie. I don't care what topic you're covering, You're extremely informative and very articulate. You make us want to listen and receive whatever knowledge you are willing to share with us. Thank you sis. #blackgirlmagic

[@daphn3b]

Hello you mentioned the fact that hair color can stunt the growth of your locks , what about henna or an organic color?

[@PRCharles]

+DD Bryant. Natural henna is excellent. Mind you you want the pure one and not the one with metallic salts. Organic color can mean anything. Organic is so loosely used now. Hope this helps. Don't know why I am seeing this now. Just glad I can answer your question. Thanks for sharing =)

[@reneem4598]

Can you ladies recommend a good sisterlocks stylist in the DMV area?

[@McGarthur]

You're beautiful my sistah

[@PRCharles]

***** Thank you :-)

[@neshachristian-hendrickson5598]

Do you braid and band your locs? Do you do a pre poo or do acv or benointe clay?

[@missjones8123]

What do you think about braidlocs?

[@tarairby-thrower4212]

beautiful... do you brush your locs?

[@PRCharles]

+Tara Irby-Thrower No brushing of locs and thank you. =)

[@newstylemodeling3205]

Do you sleep on the sparse side. Sometimes that could cause one side of your hair to grow different

[@79blt]

pretty sure color is the reason why my hair isnt as long as it should be. I dont have sister locs but they are about the size of a half a pencil.

[@PRCharles]

Hey 79blt! Color can be a doozy with locs. Do you do hot oil treatments? Color is funny. Oil fades the color faster yet it keeps the hair well lubricated to seal in moisture to help the accumulation of growth. Thank you for sharing. =)

[@neshachristian-hendrickson5598]

How do you get your hair wrapped like that?

[@PRCharles]

+Nesha Christian-Hendrickson Here you go love kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4WsYpWootymg80

[@ylparker5832]

Do you have a loc salon?

[@TheDtfamu89]

I've been loced for 3 1/2 years and I am seeing white flecks in my locs... Not lint though. Any ideas on how I might be able to remove it. Apple cider vinegar maybe? Not sure.

[@PRCharles]

TheDtfamu89 is it the white bulbs that's on the end of the hair shaft that's caught up in the loc? If so kzbin.info/www/bejne/faKYq3ypYtKHj9k. If not I haven't a clue what it is if it isn't lint or those white bulbs or "dots". Hope this helps. :-)

[@neshachristian-hendrickson5598]

How long does it take you to retighten your hair?

[@PRCharles]

+Nesha Christian-Hendrickson I can knock it out from start to finish 6-8 hours. I usually take 4-5 days and do a couple hours. That's plain retightening the locs nothing else. :-)

[@lilb257]

How did you achieve that hair style 💋

[@Sam2260my]

Great Video. I loved my hairline until I met Mr. Snow. When I live in a warm all yr aroung climate, honestly I won't even oiled my hair for 2 weeks and I didn't have a problem with breakage. Now, I won't dream of doing that ( I tried this for a whole and my hairline disappeared by Spring). Now, it's slowing but surely growing because I have started to : 1) Sleep with a wrap + bonnet on in the night. Personally, I have to ensure the wrap is a little tight around my hairline, ( because I toss frequently in the night and the bonnet slides off my head ) then placing the bonnet on top. 2) Moisturize my hair more frequently. The LCO ( Liquid, cream, oil ) method is the best so far. 3) Cover my hair ENTIRELY outside the house in the winter. On a side note : To style my edges I have started to use Curls Blueberry bliss curl control paste(tried it at my Aunt's house). It is the only edge control product I've tried and like ( honestly, after trying two- Olive Oil ORS edge control and Swing it Control gel- I did not try any again because I felt as I was going to be searching for a long time ). For reference, I have the thickest, coarsest hair you can imagine- think comb breaking even when it's 2 inches .

[@PRCharles]

See +Sam Simpson. What you are saying is very valid for many. I know it is for me. Winter hair requires for some a lubricating (oil) and moisturizing (water) routine. I have experienced my most thinning in the cooler/cold months when lazy to hot oil and wash on a consistent schedule. Yeah. Our hair likes moisture and humidity. The cooler colder environment reek havoc. Dry brittle easily broken off hair. Yes In the winter I cover my head especially the roots. It ain't no joke. This is serious. Thanks for sharing your remedy and routine.Love it! =)

[@portiamckinney5501]

Do retighten hurts

[@Desery168]

On my job I have to wear a hair net and it is pulling the hair line, can you give me any suggestions

[@PRCharles]

Desery168 You can wrap your hair with a silk scarf then put the hair net on. If you don't want to cover your whole head with the scar you can a silk scarf and fold it into a bandana like shape tie it gently around your hairline and put the hairnet on. You can use a bonnet wrong side out, like the one I use and put a hair net on. The texture of our hair makes it easy to snag on certain fibers. The hair net over silk will hopefully should alleviate. You can use satin but silk is much better. :-)

[@labrickabittle5753]
