UPDATED MICROLOC Q&A - PART 1 | Keke J.

[@jaeb89]

Because of you I will be starting my microloc journey next month. I am beyond excited. You are hair goals!

[@KekeJ]

Omg that’s so excited! 🥺💕 you are going to love it!!

[@simplyjazz0666]

Yes same here I’m watching with a fro but babe it’s going down. Def hair goals. Done with the perms I’m at 6 inches natural and don’t care. I’m doing it 🙌🏾 💕💕🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@samanthabatch1019]

Your voice is just so soothing and you have a calming presence to me. I LOVE YOUR LOCS! (I love doing the bare minimum with my hair too) I tried freestyle locs just before covid but I cut it during quarantine and I have been looking into more micro locs. You are a great inspiration

[@Battywaifu]

Hi Keke! I'm 4 months in to my microloc journey, and you were definitely one of the KZbinrs that helped me make the decision ✨ I'm starting to get my length back and they are budding I'm so happy ❤️😭🥺

[@KekeJ]

Yayyy!! That means so much! ❤️ I love the budding phase! It’s so cool to witness your hair change over time!

[@dionna714]

Not me about to hop on the mini loc train 😂 this my 4th time locking 🥴

[@bodysketcher26]

I got the Belle Locs from Braids That Speaks almost 2wks ago and it was a wonderful experience and I love my results.

[@ShelbySteele23]

How is it going? I've been thinking about flying there from Houston to get them. But since they run almost $3k plus travel cost I am nervous and hesitant, especially without reviews and updates from clients. Any feedback would be appreciated 🤗

[@catbirdi3]

@@ShelbySteele23 they have a sister salon here in dallas called bomb hair studio. Im gonna book thru them

[@HisfavoriteSyn]

You look so pretty and your locs look so healthy

[@KaniyaButterfly]

I agree, very healthy looking locs

[@KekeJ]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@evelynmcallister3383]

you are such a cutie pie. love your lipstick

[@KekeJ]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@LadyDee150]

All the specs you gave on your new camera got me fascinated lol. Hope you enjoy using it! Girl, your locs look superb!

[@Mwelwa]

Your locs are just so beautiful! They’ve grown so much too 😍

[@KekeJ]

Thank you! ❤️ at first I didn’t feel like they were growing, but when I looked at my pictures at the beginning, I realized they have grown tremendously!! 🥰

[@kissmykurls9710]

I love your honesty and transparency! Such an inspiration 💪🏾!

[@NasreenBianca]

Hi Keke! I’ve been subscribed before you started your locs and always loved your content! You were one of the biggest inspirations for me starting my microloc journey! Thank you! Your hair has flourished so beautifully!

[@KekeJ]

Omg that means so much! Thank you so so much! ❤️

[@SpoiledLocGurl]

You inspired me to go on this journey. I haven't started yet but I plan to this weekend. My hair is already pretty long so I am starting with 2 strand twist, which I wear on a regular anyway. I am scared as hell. I have been growing my hair for 12 years so doing something so "permanent" is scary. But I just prefer something less chaotic than all this loose hair on my head.

[@beyoutifullynatural9451]

Thank you for the video honey!! I’m two months in my microloc journey and I retwist. I’m loving it so far and I love your hair too. She’s progressing nicely

[@KekeJ]

That’s awesome! So glad you’re enjoying your journey! I’ll be retwisting at the end of this month. I’m so excited!

[@keyshacupid951]

The question about how u deal with thinning locs was my question...surprisingly i already combined them😂i did it last week and its better off like that even tho its big but thank you for that lil advice ig🙌🏽

[@KekeJ]

Not a problem! 💕

[@queentwocents9714]

I start my micro loc journey on the 9th. my hair length is 6 to 8 inches. My hair is thick, so she said I'll have a minimum of 400 locs. I'm so excited.

[@LocsSoFine]

I haven’t ever done my own retie. Girl, you’re amazing. I’m excited to see how your new method of retwisting goes. Great video.

[@Tamariiind_]

You’re so beautiful! We want a makeup routine! Mostly, what lip liner do you use?

[@KekeJ]

Thank you! ❤️ it’s a lip liner I got from the hair store lol nothing fancy. But I’ll be sure to make an updated makeup routine!

[@lidalida9017]

I started my microlocs because of your videos. I had traditional palm rolled locs about 9 years ago and I knew I wanted something smaller. I am about 6 or 7 months in and I love it. I also use the twisting gel you recommended. Thanks for all the insight. Many blessings.

[@prudencek7087]

Girl i thought it was just me... I retie my micro locs and at the very first wash after retie, my edges/perimeter comes fully loose.🤦🏽‍♀️ I stopped conditioning and moisturizing which helped my hair loc a bit faster and not unravel every wash day. But I find when I moisturize that my hair looks shinier and healthier. Will start moisturizing again soon. I'm 8 months in.

[@KekeJ]

I didn’t think about it being the conditioner! But I can’t stop moisturizing my hair, it dries out soooo fast!!

[@shackerawood6811]

@@KekeJ its the glow and hair for me 😁

[@brickbyboringMissJ]

You are absolutely hairgoals❤️ I've been wanting to lock my hair but I've been so unsure until I came across your videos.. now I'm getting my micro locs this weekend and I'm so excited. I want mine as big as yours cause its not too small or big - your hair is perfect!

[@TeeClausell]

I restarted my micro Locs because I need my parts on point 😂

[@tiffkelly9467]

Your hair in Locs is stunning so seeing your loose natural hair is gorgeous

[@KekeJ]

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@Gabbame11]

Girl, I have my appointment booked to get micro locs next month and it's all because of you 😂. I've been watching your journey for the past year and was convinced. I'm actually planning on pulling up your IG page to show my loctitian that day 😅

[@KekeJ]

That means so much! 🥺💕 omg! Pls be sure to tag me when you do! I’d love to see it!!

[@zoyaprather124]

Girl you are gorgeous😍😍😍. I want my hair just like yours in this video😩😂

[@lifewithbutterfly1883]

You are soo beautiful OMGOSH!!!! Listen, your hair is beautiful and you are absolutely stunning 😍

[@maurissaa.cummings8502]

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh your hair looks so good !!!!!!!!! I saw it on ig too!!!! Love you love the videos love the energy the hair ! The glow go u!

[@lauranbrown249]

Your mane is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your journey. Can you share some insight into how you learned to do your parting. I want to practice making my own minitwist but parting is hard for me just... messy. Can you give some suggestions and/or tutorial?

[@KekeJ]

Thank you so much! I kinda knew what I wanted from my last set. The parts were to big then, so I knew I wanted them smaller for this set. I really just used my eyes, and tried to keep the parting the same size. I can try to make a video about it!

[@jasminetolbert2699]

This gives me hope! I had 3 sets of traditional locs too! I made it to almost a year 2x but due to indecisiveness I combed them down and for discouraged. But I’m ready to start my own micro loc🤍

[@lakia081882]

I just love ur energy ❤️

[@kwrealady1]

⚘1st. What color is ur lipstick? 💄❓🤔 Your eyebrows & ur lips look goooooood! You are GORGEOUS! And I love how ur hair looks in every style. I have hair for days. I've never known how to comb it, so pony tail is my go to, usually on the top toward the front, or/ a scarf & go🙆🏽‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ I don't have a specific question, I ran across ur channel & loved it👍🏾- I had been thinking about getting my hair braided because I noticed as I'm aging my hair is thinning or it seems limp or something IDK 🙄 And when I've gotten it braided in the past my hair has gotten thicker, longer, & it seems to heal or repair itself. - When I saw ur channel I saw so many styles that I liked & a couple that I believe would work for me. The Spring Twist was one & the one that looks like a curly fro. I believe if I keep watching you eventually you will encourage me to try something! - I think U are dynamic, STAY ENCOURAGED & keep up the good work . 👊🏾 YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL SIS.💋 💋

[@lareinedudiphop]

Loved the video. The background sound was a little too high but other than that, i’m so inspired by your journey. I might join the team 🤫

[@lakiacottom1704]

Keke your hair is beautiful..........

[@KekeJ]

Thank you!

[@diamondeyezz4874]

Beautiful!!! I’ve made my appointment after watching your videos!! Your lipstick is gorgeous, please tell me where I can get it!

[@Royalepro1Himself]

Your locs is so beautiful

[@bronzeone752]

Beautiful. Thanks for all the info. I'm still debating...

[@HuvieJoe]

I will be a month loc in a week!! and I love to steam!!!! I use to be deep condition weekly when i was loose its hard not to do it...

[@L8dyd]

Enjoyed the video. 🤗

[@KekeJ]

❤️❤️

[@coyachardae]

Hey, I want to start my micro loc journey . And I wanted to know how did you achieve the natural hair look with your locs. Did the twist unravel naturally or did you unravel the ends as the locs got firmer ? I want my micro locs to look like yours ❤️

[@KekeJ]

Hey! I don’t do anything to my hair, I let her loc on her own naturally. My ends stayed curly, I don’t do anything to them

[@imannewby2826]

Loc Crush 😍😍😍

[@somedaysoon9551]

What products do you use on washday and to keep you locs moisturized? I'm starting my loc journey soon and I don't build up issues.

[@Beautyby_Kourtney]

I want locs but scared to commit.

[@VanessaSpeakss]

Can I just ask. How much will you pay for a retie if you went to a hairdresser. I have about 350 locs and I feel like I got scammed cos I was charged £150/$200 for a retie. Is this the normal price. Please anyone, your feedback will be appreciated

[@Gabbame11]

I live in Canada and I can tell you the hairdresser I plan to go to charges by the hour and based on their hourly rates, retie/retwist would probably cost that much, maybe even a bit more. Locs are great but maintaining through a loctitian is expensive 😫

[@KinaBoo20]

I would suggest joining a local hair group on Facebook (specifically for black hair) so you can compare prices in the area, get real reviews and feedback, I feel like asking on KZbin is so broad because prices vary by region, and we’re an international community. Hope this helps! ☺️

[@KekeJ]

After what I’ve researched, I believe that is around the price for a retie

[@VanessaSpeakss]

@@KekeJ Thank you for your reply

[@locstravel5065]

I have sisterlocks and my consultant charges$100 for 4-5 weeks and her consultant who I had to use last $120 4-6 weeks both rates coves 4 hours of appointment time. Unfortunately the rates are not regulated so everyone charges differently

[@diannephillip5720]

Hi I started my locs but didn't like how it cam out but when I say you I start it over and did it myself and loving it right now I started locking for the products you use lol I know I may not get my hair to look like yours but its worth a try .....one question what can I us on m scalp? Its a bit dry

[@rebeccastark8317]

You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen

[@tabbybrown3035]

How do you cope with frizzy hair? My micro locs are 3 months in and I’ve been struggling with frizz..

[@KekeJ]

I don’t do anything to the frizz, I actually love it! Frizzing is part of the process. You’ve gotta let you hair do her thing!

[@shacaribaldwin8363]

I love your locs! Did you blow dry your hair before you started your twist?

[@darkwriter_xx94]

I wonder if you did finger coils could you leave them to loc up?

[@lavonmejia5675]

Hi! Lovely locs! How do you keep the ends from being suuuuper curly? I see some two strand microlocs that are pretty much all curl lol

[@tamicalawson2728]

Would you suggest cutting the hair to the shape that you want before starting or tomorrow plus you say go ahead and lock it and cut it at a later date???

[@nellymckenna6552]

I'm not sure if you've filmed part 2 yet but could you add this question: Are you a serious victim of Hand in Hair syndrome? And how do you combat it? Coz I am and I don't know what to do, 11mnths in. My left hand finds itself there alwaaaaaaays, esp when in the office. I'm starting to get worried that its contributing to dryness which I've been feeling of late.

[@jrenee8303]

You’re so pretty

[@KekeJ]

Thank you!

[@keepingupwitheni42]

Hi Keke, did you straighten your natural hair before locing or you locd it just like that?

Hi! Do you have issues with your Sony overheating? I have the a5100 I believe and I cannot record for long periods

[@lovinglife9023]

Gorgeous

[@KekeJ]

Thank you!

[@Mzmona2023]

What paste are you using??

[@manyrubies]

How many months out of your journey did you interlock?

[@KekeJ]

I’ve interlocked 8 times out of the 10 months I’ve been locked, the other time was a retwist

[@manyrubies]

@@KekeJ gracias!

[@simplyjazz0666]

When you say retwist do you mean palm rolling the next time?

[@oreldean]

Very beautiful ❤️

[@KekeJ]

Thank you! ❤️

[@vanizereisdahorasantana1943]

Seu cabelo é maravilhoso. Ja tem no Brasil esse tipo de trança para eu fazer?

[@adrianesmith501]

Do you get any unraveling? If so what do you do about it

[@TAOR247]

When you dye your hair do you recommend retie first then dye or have some new growth?

[@gesareayienda3269]

How did you do your parts?

[@naturalju3060]

How were you able to keep your ends curly?

[@KekeJ]

They curl up naturally on their own, I don’t do anything to them
