How I Retighten My Locs plus Frizz Control | Kendra Kenshay

[@yoham7349]

I can not afford the $1500 install so I DIY. Love it. Thanks for the help w retie. I got this! 👏🏽❤️

[@lynnieDAV]

I decided to retie my own hair after being loc'd for 2 yrs. And this was super helpful.

[@dee-deechatman1613]

Hi Kendra, I started watching you about 3 years ago when I wanted to start my loc journey. I started my micro/braid locs on my own 2.5 years ago and have maintained them by myself. This video just simply gives me so much validation that I am doing it right. I use this exact same technique to retighten my hair with one exception. I use a 3-point rotation instead of 2-point. Thank you and keep up the great work! 😊❤

[@jk9084]

How does that go?

[@shavonfincher3067]

Thank you for being so helpful. People made the retie process seem so difficult I almost was ready to give up, but baby you saved me with 2 point method

[@moore4488]

I've been following you for years!!! And I was contemplating if I should loc my hair or not for couple years and 4 years ago when I saw u loc your hair I went straight ago and loc my hair ❤ 4 years ago and that ls the best thing I've done for my hair.

[@Libragirl168]

You should do it I remember, she did this almost 4 or 5 years ago if I were to start the same time my hair would have been the same length. I recently started my love Journey 3 months ago. Just go for it.

[@moore4488]

@@Libragirl168 yes I'm 4 year loc'd now after I saw her loc'd hers. She motivated me

[@mellissa9741]

You are so dope for showing how you’ve gotten rid of holes. I just started doing my reties and have definitely made a few mistakes. This is helpful. Ps. I do two point rotation too- super easy 👌🏽

[@janna7249]

Just ordered the micro mini tool thanks to you :) I hope I can retie my 350 starter braids locs okay ☺️

[@RB-tx7ov]

Thank you! I've followed you for years before locs. Now I want to loc my hair and i see your videos! Thanks!

[@Onyiiiiiii]

Thanks!

[@KendraKenshay]

Thank you so much for the super 😘

[@paulag8843]

Best instructional video on locs ive ever seen thank you so much ❤. I have to restart my braid locs because I did them too small due to my fine roots😢

[@latoyawilliams8661]

Thank you. This is so helpful. My daughter is starting her journey soon and I will be maintaining her microlocs so I’m glad that you made such a detailed video. I want to avoid as many mistakes as I can.

[@KendraKenshay]

You are so welcome!

[@purplebutterfly360]

Thank you so much. It has been a few months and you have really helped me on my loc journey. ♥

[@piasurgent8466]

Good afternoon. I love your work. Is it possible for you to do a video where you show your process for retightening the back of your hair. Do you use a 360 mirror?

[@jk9084]

Yes please!

[@dmitrielbert8413]

I appreciate this video. I'm 6 months in. I'm happy with my instillation.

[@jazzyrose07]

Wow! I just started following you and this is the most thorough direction I’ve seen! You are a great teacher! Your locks are beautiful’

[@cypcyonethomas6438]

Love this! When you initially installed your locks how did you achieve your fullness. Many new installation I see look too spacy

[@mizkayzee]

Hangtime! your hair has gotten so long. Lovely ♥ ♥

[@courtneysimmons4977]

This is one of the best videos ever & I love all of your videos ❤

[@crystalf.5340]

Thanks for the video! Do you have anything showing how you do your back? Like the set up you use to see the back etc

[@KendraKenshay]

I do not but I use 2 mirrors. One in the front and one in the back.

[@jk9084]

​@@KendraKenshayand how do you do the 2 point rotation in the back?

[@LadyDee150]

This demo was very helpful!! Thanks so much😍💕

[@KendraKenshay]

You are so welcome!

[@promostk]

Love your locs!🥰Just wanted to know why you do not use the 4 point rotation and use the 2 rotation instead?

[@dreababygirl]

In her first video where she showed her retie I think she mentioned that the 2 rotation provides more volume

[@lakeithiablake9838]

Hi Kendra!! Do you ever find thinned areas in your locs and if so how do you repair them or do you have a technique to combat them?

[@phillytruckerwife6630]

Thanks for the video..I am 3.5 years locd. With palm rolling.. but i do not like the loose roots, unable to wear hair down as my roots get to puffy.. not my desired look. I have micro and I am thinking about doing reties instead, and do it myself. Its worth a try, before I cut off my locs. ❤❤❤

[@LisePlansandJournals]

Hi, what gel do you use to palm roll, if any?

[@edwinsisuma4155]

Kendray for all videos i have watched on this you know how to do it

[@ThePurple2323]

You’re given me inspiration to manage my own locs. How long do it take you to retie your hair thank you ❤

[@treallocdin]

Love it...❤ question: Have you ever had traditional locs?

[@keturaequalizer]

You have such beautiful hair. I hope my sister locs will look like yours one day. I put my sister twist locs two and a half months ago while on holiday in Africa. I love them so much. I have now come to where I need to dye my hair and retwist after. Our options of hairdressers here in Europe is very limited. The hairdresser I usually use basically told me to get them out, dye my hair, condition it and then she will retwist it agaain but not as small I want them. She told me her fingers were too fat to twist such small micro twists. Translation, she was politely telling me she doesn`t want to do them. I cried afterwards. I really want to keep my hair just as it is. I`m not good with hair at all. I`ve watched your videos on how to dye your roots, maintaing and retwisting sister locs. I`m really scared coz I`m afraid I won`t manage to do it on my own and I`ll end up ruining my sister locs. It will break my heart if I loose my sister locs. 😔😪

[@mrsrosalynmichelle3659]

Awesome 👏🏾 thanks for sharing, very informative video. Your locs are beautiful too!

[@iamtransformedshow2234]

Hello Ms Kendra. I started my microloc journey on Dec. 9. My loctician will do my first retie next week. For the back of your head, what is your 2pt rotation? Do you start at the top and go down towards your back? Then do you go from left to right, or right to left...or does the second point direction matter? Thanks in advance.

[@jk9084]

I wanna know too

[@RobinNatural1]

Thank you for this detailed explanation! I just had my braidlocs installed. I will definitely be doing my own reties at some point. How do you keep up with that tiny tool? I will definitely be ordering just wanted any suggestions you have for keeping up with it! 😬 Have you lost any locs? Your locs look great and very healthy! New subscriber. Blessings.

[@rosettawilliams9053]

They send them in small keepsake bags for storage. I have one, but will be ordering a mini one.

[@reddred6969]

Thank you I just started mine❤❤❤

[@roses4616]

Thank you….finally I understand ❤

[@c_gloss4724]

Hi Kendra. What size is your retightening tool? My locs are about the same size as yours and I want to get the right size. Thanks!

[@mellissa9741]

She said it’s the micro mini from nappy locs. I looked it up too because I want it 👌🏽

[@promostk]

Here watching

[@Yahschild263]

Hi kendra, absolutely love your hair, is there anyone you can reccomend for reties in the area? Do you offer the service

[@FLAWEDANDFOCUSED]

I’ve watched so many video’s due to researching because I am thinking about getting sister locks but now I am leaning more towards ML’s But was told the smaller that you get them the more breakage over time from the retie’s so now IDK which ones I want 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@suzettemetellus7370]

Hi what kind shampoo do you use?

[@Mygirllifestyle]

Thank you so much girl, God bless you abandatly💞

[@KendraKenshay]

You are so welcome

[@fruitkakes5807]

Thanks for sharing this. I am about to start doing my reties. I will be 1 year loc'd on the 29th of this month. I have at least 2 dozen bunches/buds that have formed. I wanted my locs to be the same saize or as close to the same size from root to tip. How can i minimize some of these larger buds?

[@promostk]

I have the same issue with bunching. I am in my 19th month

[@dreababygirl]

I’ve been locked for a while (ignore my thumbnail pic lol) and most of my ends have buds and they’re all different! One thing you can do is comb out the end so it relocks, or just embrace the uniqueness of each loc. Remember you have different textures throughout your hair so the locs may differ

[@gibel13]

Is there a reason you switched from the 4-point rotation you used to do in the very beginning, to the 2-point rotation? I’m just curious.

[@toccarareed3209]

I believe she stated in her first video explaining 2 pt rotation that she wanted a more voluminous look.

[@naturalbella32]

Thank you for sharing. Do you use gel for reties or just water?

[@hatrgatr]

Did you start your locks with interlocking?

[@rosecoloredglasses67329]

Sis-How long did you wait before you colored your hair?

[@KendraKenshay]

I colored my hair early on in its baby loc stage. There’s a video on my channel. I relied on braiding and banding to do it

[@shandriaf90]

Did you start with braids or twist

[@NJMissMama]

Are you going to try the knotting method instead of retires?

[@rosettawilliams9053]

Yeah, that has a lot of buzz around it. I doubt she will.....it doesn't have the manicured look she likes.

[@tonyaleach5067]

Hi Kendra I am starting my locks in April I just need to know what products do I need to use on my hair and what to wash it with.and do I have to use rose water or just water,do I put oil in the water please help!

[@LisePlansandJournals]

She most likely has videos about what *she* does on her channel. Search her video library

[@GladysIsabelCoralesSanchez]

Maravilloso 😚

Do u do this without a mirrror

[@eonseas8620]

That tool is too expensive for me. I use a sewing needle. Does a great job at half the price.
