LOCS | LOC EXTENSIONS GONE WRONG

[@luvmifro1003lovesfamily]

It's crazy how cruel people can be about you having loc extensions b/c had you not said it was extensions, we wouldn't know they're extensions 🤦🏾‍♀️ Your hair is gorgeous!

[@WhatDidiSaid]

thank you love!

[@Sig721Tau]

@@WhatDidiSaid You're still pretty in my book. 😉

[@thisnaturalgirlislocd]

I know this is an older video but since doing research on loc extensions your video came up as a recommendation and I'm glad! Beautiful locs

[@WhatDidiSaid]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sameera8282]

Could I get the information on the stylist who did your hair

[@LadyChaCha22]

Your hair is very pretty and the loctician that installed your extensions did a very good job. Speaking as a loctician, make sure you aren't over retwisting because of the locs not staying. You can cause your hair to thin from retwisting to much. Also you can help last just a little longer by tying them with a silk or satin wrap/scarf and concentrating on the edges but not too tight. Remember locs will look frizzy at times and that's fine, I know I know we want them to look fresh all the time but truly they are to look frizzy at times. I will say interlocking does last longer and no product is need to interlock. You may want to use some oil for maintenance but that's it. Other than that you're are good. Your locs are absolutely beautiful. Oh wait a minute, If you are styling a lot you may experience some thinning. Ok that's all

[@WhatDidiSaid]

Lady ChaCha thank you for the tips! I definitely am stretching my retwists longer & I am terrified of interlocking because it makes it nearly impossible to comb out your locs right ?

[@WhatDidiSaid]

Lady ChaCha & won’t interlocking change the barrel shape of my locs?

[@LadyChaCha22]

WhatDidiSaid nope it will not change the cylindrical look the structure will be tighter but nope they will still have that same Barrel look

[@WhatDidiSaid]

Lady ChaCha I’m going to sleep on that thought as tempting as it sounds

[@LadyChaCha22]

WhatDidiSaid you are so welcome. Yes it will make it impossible to comb out. Now that is true, but this is my take on locs. I’m a little bias. Lol I love them and I have no pans on taking mine out, but if I ever decide to , I will be cutting them out. I have waaaaaaay too much hair to try and comb out. Lol If you have anymore questions don’t bother to ask. Here’s my email [e-mail]. It’s been a pleasure chatting with you

[@ilovemybrudder]

So I’m about to get mine done and would love to know the size of your locs. Would they be considered small or extra small?

[@WhatDidiSaid]

Small!

[@mairasanchez613]

My hair also does not stay twisted. The woman who does my hair says it takes month for it to actually lock. I get my hair interlocked like every 4-6 weeks, that catches the new growth up with the loc. Question: how to you keep your edges so laid ? No edge cream seems to work for me

[@mairasanchez613]

Months *

[@WhatDidiSaid]

Maira Sanchez I am currently working on an FAQ (frequently asked questions) video for you guys!

[@WhatDidiSaid]

Maira Sanchez also, I’m genuinely afraid of interlocking 😭

[@meexj1202]

yes, my hair is like that too. my middle stays locked, but them edges... 😐😑 they just do what they wanna do 😅

[@WhatDidiSaid]

Pretty much have a mind of their own lol

[@emmaimevbore6067]

Hey girl, I just wanted to ask if box dye will damage the macon style loc extensions. Because I have them in right now and I’m soooo tempted to dye it but I’m just scared it’ll damage the Locs. What’s your opinion x

[@WhatDidiSaid]

I think dye overall ruins hair. Im not an advocate for it

[@Cookiee_Squad]

My hair doesn’t stay retwisted either.

[@WhatDidiSaid]

Yeah, I think thicker hair just doesn’t want to be tamed lol

[@braziliandawn3143]

I'm sure you probably put this somewhere in the video, but I didn't hear it. Can you please tell me where you got your extensions installed?

[@mphorambau1735]

Would you recommend waiting a few months before adding loc extensions to microlocs? If so, how long?

[@PhiladelphiaForward]

Great video. Who was your stylist? I’m not too far away - in Philly.

[@pspraiderette92]

I would like to know if it is recommended to repair weak roots of locs by adding human hair or cutting where the healthy hair begins and adding natural extensions? I have 3 years of growth. My longest strand is 7 inches.

[@marjoriewatt]

By any chance do you know the name of the machine she used to do your hair? I'd love ti recommend it or ask about it when I see the stylist.

[@meshelledavis8333]

Who did your extensions?

[@bevlenoir7473]

try interlocking it worked best for me

[@WhatDidiSaid]

I want to try it so bad but I'm scared that it makes it hard to comb out your locs later.

[@bevlenoir7473]

@@WhatDidiSaid yeah.. eaither way you going to be left with hella breakage and damage when you do so when the time comes you might as well just cut it off instead of damaging your hair. to be honest your so pretty i bet you would look fine af in a short cut :)

[@WhatDidiSaid]

@@bevlenoir7473 that's always an option also. I'll see what I want to do when the time comes lol.

[@joannmccutcheon4890]

Hi! Didi, I really enjoyed your videos and I hope you keep them coming. I genuinely appreciate how you think and your approach on dreadlocs. I would love to ask you, how many locs do you currently have? The size of your locs is what I too desire. I love your hair style and I am planning on emulating it for myself. Thanks again! 😘

[@joannmccutcheon4890]

Oops, I just read your comments, Didi. I understand you have approximately 125 locs. Correct?

[@WhatDidiSaid]

yes !@@joannmccutcheon4890

[@joannmccutcheon4890]

@@WhatDidiSaid Thanks,

[@HEMDWellness]

You probably figured it out by now but great 2 vids on extensions I've seen. I usually retwist then do 2 strand twist for week or 2 to keep the retwist then another week I do like a fish tail thing, then loose for like a week or 2 before retwist. I'm planning on getting extensions because I have cut sides but I'm starting the back. Also check out curlcap they have satin lined hats with space for ponytail

[@iambrandi5654]

Thanks for the update! You had us all shook from the title! Lol. You stated that your locs in the front and in the back are not staying twisted like the locs in the crown area... perhaps it could be from manipulation? I think pulling your locs back and or up can cause that to happen.

[@WhatDidiSaid]

IamBrandi HAHA! My bad lol, I don’t really pull it back to tightly but that could be it! I’ll investigate and let y’all know lol

[@MizzeBee]

Omg thank you for helping me find a stylist to do my loc extensions in the DMV!

[@preciouskym7469]

I want locs now 😍

[@KDiaomo]

Hey love, do you know how many locs you have? They’re gorg btw 💙

[@WhatDidiSaid]

125 I think. I have a loc count for a more accurate count! Thank you !

[@latoyazephyr2206]

Hi hon looking for the loc count videos but there isn’t one.

[@darshaywright4912]

My hair never stays twisted either. How often do you retwist? Usually when it untwist I’ll leave it because I’m afraid of putting to much stress on my edges and nape. Love your hair!

[@WhatDidiSaid]

I tend to retwist monthly! & I've definitely made a few mistakes in terms of retwisting. I should be making another video soon.

[@vivianonyesom6323]

How long can the extension stay in

[@WhatDidiSaid]

Depends on how well you manage the extensions. Keep in mind that since it is fake hair being added to real hair, it would require maintenance to keep it looking fresh.

[@nathaliemurchison1084]

I am 6 mos into my loc journey and I do i get ALOT of new growth in the front perimeter of my hair. A retwist is needed every 2-3 weeks! But often I just let my hair do what it does!

[@WhatDidiSaid]

I think that's the best thing to do. Just kind of let it do what it wants lol

[@marjoriewatt]

They're gorgeous.

[@WhatDidiSaid]

thank you!

[@marjoriewatt]

@@WhatDidiSaid I finally got my premade locs. I was so serious about finding quality locs that when i finally got them, people wanted them and I started selling them. Now I'm on a mission to find someone to install them.

[@nappyscribe1987]

I’m a licensed cosmetologist with a bent toward naptural hair. My husband doesn’t want my hair short and I’m wanting to stay married so I’m going to do loc extensions on my own hair and hopefully will be able to do the real sista loc grid even using added hair! Your hair looks fine. No one would know they’re extensions had you not told them!!!!

[@WhatDidiSaid]

lol, I'd say do whatever makes YOU feel happy and most confident! Good luck

[@nappyscribe1987]

WhatDidiSaid a husband at my side makes me secure, happy and confident at the present. However, my locs are forthcoming!

[@PiscesPrincess87]

Nappy Scribe ... You must be newly married because what you do to your hair shouldn’t effect your husband attraction to you. For better or for worst, in sickness and in health, fat or small, hair short or long. A real man wouldn’t care as long as it’s groomed. Then a husband makes you “secure and confident” your comments are so problematic please don’t mentor Any young women interested in marriage.

[@aprilwagner1]

should have just enjoyed the real lock journey. Its a spiritual thing in the Caribbean. Not about the looks but about the growth.

[@AzuraMazarin]

April Wagner that might be your opinion but it’s her choice and what SHE wants to do.

[@callmel_0073]

Agreed, it's going to take forever for them to grow she puts them in takes them out the tensions gonna give her alopecia. The extensions don't let the hair ends breath, you're already not cutting your ends the oils can't get to them either, this will be very interested to watch.
