Girl, your consistency is unmatched. Also, the quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better- I was wowed by how professional the footage looks! And as always, the locs are looking gorgeous!

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you so much Nnenna, the fact that you notice and appreciate my effort means so much! 💕💕

[@Nnenna.Grace.]

@@Ifeyinwa ❤️❤️

[@Ifeyinwa]

Sorry if it wasn’t clear but I do not do this every single night. I typically use oil on my scalp once a week and spritz my scalp with water a couple times a week. Detangling and stretching I do every night. I would not recommend this routine for starter locs. Starter locs need to be left alone (in my experience) 🤗 Links to everything are in my description box and please don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it. It really helps to support my channel 💕

[@tamikathomas916]

Its the Willy Wonka vibe for me in the background!

[@multiplybysix]

The pro tip about the scarf versus using a bonnet is key. I noticed the same, my hair looks better for longer. I think it has something to do with the bonnet moving around causing frizz. I love your locs girl!

[@Ifeyinwa]

Absolutely! And thank you so much 💕

[@sarahbelle988]

Agreed! I do my own reties and have noticed less marrying after wearing a scar for a month. I also don't have to deal as much with individual locs that just want to go the opposite direction from the rest lol

[@cecemimi9304]

I can also attest to the scarf over the bonnet. My hair has less frizz when I use the scarf. Thanks for giving us this nighttime routine. I didn’t have one besides flat twisting or braiding down my loc’s for stretch the next day. I am 8 months into my journey.

[@anjanettewashington3549]

I’m scheduled for installation in 2 weeks, I was freaking out but you’ve helped me be confident in taking this big leap to locs. I’ve been straightening my hair for over 20 years and currently 1 year natural. Job well done!! Thanks

[@Ifeyinwa]

Awww thank you so much, let me know how your installation goes 💕

[@postwoman1802]

Your makeup is sooo flawless! 🥰

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@joyfrimpong2213]

Thank you so much for this video, Mama! I've noticed that you workout often in your vlogs, and I admire that! If it's possible, could you make a video elaborating on managing locs, particularly starter locs, while being active/working out?

[@Ifeyinwa]

I honestly didn’t do too much to my locs for the first 6 months or so… I am such a wake up and go kind of girl but let me think about this, I think it’s a great idea 🥰

[@joyfrimpong2213]

@@Ifeyinwa Ah, HI! Thank you! I was referring to what you do to combat odor, buildup, and dampness from the sweat, specifically. Maybe you also style your locs so that there's minimal shrinkage/slippage and bunching? It'd be great if you could throw that in as a bit in one of your upcoming videos. I'm pleased with how your locs are turning out, so I'd trust your advice, if you don't mind! (If you've already shared some info on this topic, please feel free to refer me to the video 🙏🏾🌟)

[@PiklizTafia]

Yes please. Thanks

[@VanessaBeautifulChaos]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT REGISTRY I WAS DESPERATE FOR THAT

[@Ifeyinwa]

You’re welcome 🫶🏾

[@She_is_P]

Your hair looks sooo good. I love it.

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you so much 😀

[@CharmingNads]

Guuurl… I just stumbled on your channel and I must say I’m completely hooked! Absolutely loving your content . Your great energy comes through the screen beautifully. I’m early on in my micro locs journey also and learning a lot about each and every day . Like yourself previously, I too go to Jus u for my reties and find their whole appointment system doesn’t really work for me . I live in east London and would truly be grateful if you wouldn’t mind sharing your new loctician’s info . Thank you so much for sharing your journey with the rest of us embarking on this amazing journey 🙏🏾

[@Ifeyinwa]

Awwww you’re so kind thank you so much. My current loctician hasn’t given me permission to share her details, but I found her through the sisterlocks registry (linked in my description box) I highly recommend checking that out and shopping around your area. Good luck 💕

[@fatimaabdullahi440]

I'm installing my micro locs for the first time today and your videos are encouraging ❤️ thank you ❤️

[@Ifeyinwa]

You are so welcome 🤗

[@SandraD6281]

I am a new subscriber and really enjoy your content! Thank you!!

[@aikinsv]

Very nice! I will be a week on Monday for having microlocks. I'm loving it so far

[@Ifeyinwa]

Awww lovely! Enjoy the journey!

[@karleenedwards9663]

Thank you for sharing your routine. I am 7 months in and my loctician did say to use a sick scarf but I was using the bonnet. But I started to used the scarf again last week so i will stick with that. I love your videos. Keep them coming!

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you lovely! Glad it was helpful!

[@GloriaQuansah]

Your locs are sooo beautiful

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@MammusoMosikili]

I love your content 🇿🇦❤️🌟and you are absolutely stunning

[@Ifeyinwa]

You're so kind thank you!

[@Blaqbudafly]

This tutorial was very needed. I haven't stretched my locs I know with this I'll be able to retain more length. Thanks!

[@Ifeyinwa]

You're welcome ☺️

[@tinarjackson9844]

I just had my wash day 2 days ago. And noticed some lint on ends in the back! I took a T-Pin and slowly pulled it out. I love sweaters. So I have to be very careful with what we wear. The ends will pull on the fuzz of the sweaters

[@BabyBreath2012]

You are loc goals ❤

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@Bigbrighteyes1]

Definitely loc goals!!!

[@Ifeyinwa]

@@Bigbrighteyes1 thank you so much!

Your hair and skin look healthy and gorgeous. Well done Ifeyinwa, we all see your commitment. I wish you more wins on here 🤎🤎

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you so much Mayowa 🥰🙏🏾

[@Yoel-dr]

Ifeyinwa is a gorgeous queen. 🎉

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you so much!

[@The80247]

I love your videos! Can you do one of how you self retie?

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you! I don’t self Retie I get mine done by a loctician

[@oluwadamilolaashade7620]

Hi Ifeyinwa, your locs are beautiful, I see that you have curly ends like I do, how do you maintain your curly ends, because mine are mostly tangled up after like 2 weeks, and I am about 6 months locd now. Thank you.

[@aikinsv]

How often do you do this routine?

[@mwendadejenga-ib4ko]

Loc inspo ❤

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you 💕

[@lavettebumbrey9468]

Hi im a new subscriber and just love your videos and how you describe everything nice and slow, step by step. Im only 7 months in on my journey and have a ton of frizz and hair growing outside my locs. Do any of your videos give tips on this?

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thanks for subscribing! No I didn't deal with frizz personally but I'd recommend asking your Loctician if it concerns you.

[@jmreful]

Love it! In your opinion, would this routine work for starter locs as well? I'm getting mine installed in two days, and still learning, but not sure if the finger combing and braiding could potentially cause slippage on newbie locs

[@Ifeyinwa]

Ooooh I hope your install went well hun! I'd suggest following the instructions your Loctician gives you and tweaking it (if you need to) as your hair start to settle. I didn't use anything on my hair for the first few months personally.

[@NkechiAnaedobe_Assa]

Thanks for this Ifeyinwa. Have you done this nighttime routine from when you had your locs installed or only as they started to mature? I think I’ll do this now and then as I don’t like the glad look from just having my hairs tied securely without the twists or braids

[@Ifeyinwa]

Hiya, I only started doing this when my locs started to mature

[@sonseeahraybriggs6844]

I really enjoy your channel I have micro locs installed by my daughter n law. I am a month in and I notice alot of long straight strands I have no perm

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thank you! Your hair will settle, just give it some time :)

[@EveLyn-rn4kn]

This was great to watch. Sorry if I missed it but do you do this every night? 😊

[@Ifeyinwa]

I use oil once a week and mist with water maybe 1/2 a week but I detangle and stretch my locs every night.

[@EveLyn-rn4kn]

@@Ifeyinwa oh thank you. I too have microlocs and I am never too sure what to do. Been a year of trials and errors 😅 Can’t really find a loctitian in Germany so I learn as I go 🙌🏾

[@Ifeyinwa]

@@EveLyn-rn4kn trust me it’s a learning curve but I’ve realised the less you do with the microlocs the better 🥰

[@nkirustephanie4827]

Hello Ify, please can you give out the contact of your locs installer.

[@mandymiller136]

Could you please tell me where you go in London for your retightening? Thanks!😊

[@Ifeyinwa]

Linked in my description box!

[@HuvieJoe]

I do nothing lol I just put a satin bonnet on before bed. I mostly moisturize in the morning with rose water, no oil. I don't mind the shrinkage

[@Ifeyinwa]

And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that! I only started using oil bc I had dry scalp and even know I only use it once a week. I love how easy microlocs are so I’m with you! 🥰

[@ObeyAmmalol]

I have almost 600 locs I need to recount but I know it’s on the higher end. Would you consider combining them ? I love the look but if I were to ever maintain myself it seems very overwhelming. And I’ve seen some opinions on Instagram that having over 500 micro locs is unfair to other loctitions & you will probably have to combine down the line…Which is another question do you think you will self retie?

[@Ifeyinwa]

No I don’t plan to ever self retie or combine my locs. I’ve also never heard any locticians complain about the number of locs. I know some will charge more depending on how many locs you have or how long your reties take, so I don’t think it’s unfair as they are being compensated for their time.

[@nicoleoraekie7282]

I'm only one-month loc'd. Do you advice I do this every night before I go to bed?

[@Ifeyinwa]

No, I would follow whatever instructions your loctiican gave you until your locs starts to mature. I started doing this around the 6 month mark personally and I only use oil in my hair once a week

[@selmaayim5739]

My microlocs will be six months on Sunday. But I use a mixture of oil and water to moisturize my hair. Is that okay?

[@Ifeyinwa]

I wouldn’t spray oil on your locs if they’re not fully mayured but I’d say ask your loctician to be sure

[@ThePurple2323]

I’m getting microlocs September 2. Sis was your locs started with braids?

[@Ifeyinwa]

No, I have a video on my installation :)

[@okoyechidinma3560]

Was this installed on relax hair

[@Ifeyinwa]

No, it wasn't. Check out my first Microlocs video for more details

[@GloriaQuansah]

That goodbye kiss😂😂😂 are you sure it wasn’t because you were happy to be on your way to bed?😂

[@Ifeyinwa]

You clearly watch my vlogs - I’m always way too happy to go to bed 😭😭

[@josephinembae153]

How you u handle buildups

[@Ifeyinwa]

I don’t use any product in my hair so I don’t struggle with this thankfully

[@meshhalii]

How often do you wash?

[@Ifeyinwa]

before my reties which are every 5-6 weeks currently.

[@anydae]

Great video, only thing is please let your hair dry properly before tying up your hair - damp hair and locs might encourage mold 😕

[@Ifeyinwa]

Thanks for the tip!
