[@sosochenel9869]

Wait wait a minute, MOM? If you’re 18 she looks like she’s 19, 20 yrs old. Black women why aren’t WE aging? What is OUR secret? Y’all ladies are beautiful!

[@sosochenel9869]

Isa Dreadhead I guess some body’s hurt? Who said anything about beautiful? I said WE ARE NOT aging and that too, WE’RE BEAUTIFUL! That shows how hurt y’all are. Black women can’t have anything without y’all being butt hurt about it!Get a life jealous heffa WE WERE BORN THAT WAY!

[@sosochenel9869]

Tykara my dear, I apologize I had to put her in her place. I don’t mean the negativity and drama.

[@sosochenel9869]

Isa Dreadhead I don’t give a damn about you telling me everybody is beautiful. I wasn’t talking about everybody , I was talking about the black women! And why is that when we’re talking black women we feel that we must say everybody is beautiful?

[@lexking3249]

I still can’t believe that’s your mom... but then she introduced herself as mom 😆. She’s def a mother

[@_AmikaC_]

Facts! Lolol. Only a true mother knows their name is mom! 🤣😂🤣😂. Why do we do that?? Too funny!! 😂😂😂

[@shawannnewson5265]

I mix 1/2 rosewater & 1/2 vitamin e oil.... I spray my hair everyday. Plain water does dry your locs.

[@erinehiguese3754]

Mama I believe your washing your hair too often. The hard chemicals in the water (unless you have a really good filtration system) the mixture of shampoo or cleansing strips your hair along with the hard water. Wettting daily is fine but you should only have to wash 1 or 2 times a month- & if you’re not using that many products you can wash it even less

[@TrIsHAwNa123TV]

Because you’re mom’s hair is 4c like mine, it takes longer for natural oils from our scalp to travel down our hair shaft. she should try washing it less often and adding a little bit of conditioner or Aloe Vera inside of her water and oil concoction. Then put a little bit of glycerin on her hands and rub it into her locs to help lock the moisture in. Always remember, water is moisturizing but it will evaporate so sealing is THE key 💞

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thanks!

[@MrsWesttildeath]

I love your relationship dynamic. It's similar to the way that my 18 year old daughter and I relate. When your mom introduced herself as "Mom" I was tickled.

[@VicTORIousLyfe]

Omg... I thought this was your twin sister. You stole your moms whole face😲 Absolutely gorgeous ladies.😊

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thank you

[@lemonmelonmelon]

I have 4c hair as well and I’ve been told that thicker hair should be washed less often. It takes longer for our natural oils to make its way down the strand, so constant washing sort of restarts the natural moisturizing process. I’d suggest wetting/washing less often to help with the dryness

[@brittneylamar9864]

Girl!!!!! Y'all look the same age!!!!! What is this sorcery?!?!!!😍

[@LaVenderlocx]

Mom skin care routine PLEASE! IM TRYNA LOOK LIKE YOU WHEN I GROW UP!!!🤗

[@GrowEvolve78]

Wait. Hold up. Hold up. HOOOOOOLLLLD UP!!!! That's your mom! She looks your age. I thought you two were sisters and when you said mom my face cracked. Wtf!!! What water are y'all drinking?! That's your mom!!! Whoa!

[@hawtnsweet]

Also, if you were a 4c loose natural before locking, once a week is WAAAYYY too frequent to be washing your hair. Once a month or every 2-3 weeks max would be more ideal. That might explain the dryness you're experiencing. Try cutting back on the washing to once a month, and spritzing with ROSE water as necessary. You truly don't need oil on the hair. You might want to oil the scalp LIGHTLY after your monthly washing, but if you live in Texas this wouldn't even be necessary in the Summer.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

I was told rose water is good to use instead of plain water.

[@josephosullivan9506]

Rose water is amazing, restores natural pH of hair, amazing conditioner and smells great.

[@amberdenisetv1232]

@@josephosullivan9506 i ordered some for my daughters locs. I can't put any in my hair right now because i have fresh sisterlocks, but once they mature a bit i am looking forward to using it.

[@talktathemoney]

Thanks for the tip! I buy rose water to add to hyaluronic serum, but will use it as a rinse after I wash my hair.

[@gtgoddess24]

Mom, you are encouraging me because I installed my microlocs in March and I have 4C hair as well. I have had good success with Glycerin and have only tried it once since my installation. I'm trying to let my locs grow out as they are very short right now. All I use is rose water and vitamin E oil every other day. I spritz with water everyday as my hair is does dry out. I wash it every 2 weeks.

[@DeJa2001]

Mom!?! Naww naww stop playing that's your mom!?!? I thought she was your sister! What the freak😱

[@DeJa2001]

@૨σყαℓ ƭεε 😂 but like seriously look at her! I know black don't crack but dang this seems like it's on a whole another level 😂 but there's absolutely nothing wrong with looking super young 😊 God has truly blessed our people with our looks 🙌🏾

[@meraagrn]

YOUR MOM AND YOU LOOK SO ALIKE AND ARE BEAUTIFUL. In love with your locs

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thank you!

[@terriwilson6846]

I love the way both of your locs have turned out. I've been following the journey since the beginning. I wanted to comment about your mom's hair being dry. I've had the same issue and once I've read the knotty truth book it helped me so much with moisture. Everyday I use a mixture of aloe Vera juice, water, green tea & chamomile tea. It's definitely helped me allot. There are other mixtures for those who's hair is more mature. Hope this helps 🤗

[@mimiabdul1177]

The tea mix sounds great. How and when do you use it

[@terriwilson6846]

@@mimiabdul1177 Smells amazing too! I use it everyday as a leave in conditioner as it suggested in the book. When I first started using it I used it twice a day; morning and at night. Now that my hair is retaining moisture I'm down to once a day.

[@terriwilson6846]

@@mimiabdul1177 The mixture is 1/3 water, 1/3 aloe Vera juice and 1/3 tea mix

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thanks for the tips!

[@hawtnsweet]

Simple rose water would do the same thing, and not leave the hair tacky. They also have the rose water with glycerin for the winter months.

[@Wakilisylv]

My starter microlocs also used to get VERY dry, and I used to mist/spritz with water. ROSE WATER is honestly a game changer. Make a rosewater mix with vitamin e oil and some essential oils. You will definitely notice the difference.

[@Haitheregorgeous]

Water adds moisture but only temporarily. Whenever you use water in your hair you should use products that can penetrate and be absorbed into the hair shaft. After the water evaporates there is no moisture left and your hair will be left feeling dryer than before. When your spray with water add oil as well so it seals into the hair as it dries ... hope that helps!

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thank you!

[@Haitheregorgeous]

@@TyKaraAnn anytime ! 💕

[@barbaraperkins5342]

Use rosewater and or rosewater with glycerine. Never tap or distilled water.

[@karenkeyes5737]

My sister locks get dry when I’m dehydrated just like my skin get’s dry. Want healthy locs, make sure you’re eating right and staying hydrated is especially important.

[@livingwell21]

I agree! We learned this in beauty school. I also saw the proof of it when we convinced my husband's niece to drink more water if she wanted long hair. Lol...she was a pre-teen at the time, but it actually worked!

[@livingwell21]

Disclaimer: I'm not saying she grew an outrageous amount of hair or anything, but it grew much longer than it had been before and it wasn't dry, brittle and breaking.

[@Bindi_Marc]

4:22 my locs were getting super dry with the shampoo only routine. I added coconut oil post shampoo, and then did a final rinse in (freezing) cold water... and my hair isn't dry anymore (I also don't wet my hair in between washes).

[@kee7374]

I’m screeching at how young the mom looks. Crossing my fingers I age the same way

[@DhatGyrl18]

I just love the look of micro locs but my lazy self could never...I’m going for a thick loc with not too many lol

[@abcderica444]

I was having the same dryness issues with my locs. I had to change my shampoo from Castille soap to Carol's daughter. Then I changed my wash schedule from 1x a week to 1x every 2 weeks. Then finally I use Rosewater w/ glycerine diluted with water and I add rosemary oil and orange oil. Tbh the rose water helped the most and it smells amazing!

For dry locs, try getting rose water, put in a spray bottle and mist your locs. Restores natural pH of hair, improves condition over time and smells great.

[@deitrawilliams8479]

Ok so I really thought that was your younger sister no joke, WOW! She looks so young and you are both gorgeous!!!

[@MsAwesome6814]

her mom is so gorgeous, clearly where she gets it from 😍

[@GenuinelyGiGi]

This might sound weird but I’ve been watching a lot of loc specialists on KZbin and they have been saying that putting water on your hair everyday does make it more dry... like taking a shower, the water dries out your skin... it also dries out your hair... and adding a lot of products can cause buildup.

[@beyoutifullynatural9451]

I’ve seen this video but YT recommended it to me. I still cannot believe this is your mother 😍😍😍😍 y’all look the SAME age!

Water is a moisturiser but you need to seal it into your hair it your using oils. Look at a good sealant. Maybe castor oil or Argan. . Glycerin is good for low porosity

[@locdlionessrishayareese]

Yes Mom, wetting and washing too frequently can dry out the hair. I've got 4c locs as well and went from weekly wash and daily moisturizing to now monthly wash and moisturizing with a rose water and jojoba oil (or vitamin E) mixture twice a week and my hair is feeling softer than ever! Not a loctician but that's been my experience.

[@testej9950]

for dry hair: clarify well (Get. It. Clean. First.), condition as normal (usually liquid, not cream rinse), glycerin via fro/jheri curl SPRAY (YES! read the bottles. The ingredients are better than most products) recommend: SofteSheen-Carson Sta-Sof-Fro Hair & Scalp Spray and Luster's S-Curl Activator Moisturizer, then seal with an oil as normal (I would not recommend coconut oil here. Pre poo, yes.). Wash with normal shampoo once a week. Hope that helps.

[@kniveschao6431]

[@zee6797]

OMG! Mom?!! She looks like your sister..like just a year older sister. Melanin queens..black surely don't crack. I love to see this! Beautiful women!!

[@tasleyanne4046]

After you spray your hair with water seal it with Castor oil, do this once a week. Water by itself is drying your hair out. Also you're washing your hair too often. Once a month should be fine. I've been loc'd for 3yrs(traditional locs).

[@suchafnlade2354]

Mommas 4c hair does not need a SHAMPOO wash every week. With textured hair like ours our oils are slow to flow down the shafts of our hair. So if she is shampooing so often she is stripping any oil production she is getting before it gets a chance to go down the hair. Try shampoo once a month (under normal activity , sweating, environmental conditions) but wetting the hair with a good rinse out out conditioner and sealing that moisture would be good to do every other day.

[@hawtnsweet]

You're both so beautiful. Paused the video to comment - dry relative to what/whose? It may very well be that you just don't have a frame of reference for what YOUR OWN hair type ought to feel like when locked. Having said that, most locked folks swear by rose water and lightly and occasionally oiling the scalp only. Oiling the hair itself heavily and frequently early on in your lock journey could lead to sticky/tacky locks at best, or slippage/unraveling at worst. Maybe what you might need to consider is developing an appreciation of YOUR OWN texture in its locked state. If you have a preset idea of how you think your locks should feel, then they will always feel dry. Locked hair feels totally different than loose natural hair and that's to be expected.

[@Jaanechan]

Congratulations on your graduation!! 🎊🎓🎉

[@AshleyWilliams-ww3ve]

I thought her mom was her sister. I hope I look this good when my kids get older.

[@Goatmama90]

I’m 4c and have microlocs as well. I tried the water only method for my first couple of weeks being locked and that’s a no no for my hair. It was getting soo dry. I still treat my hair like I’m natural. I use water a cream then oil. I even deep condition once a week. The oil that works best for me is castor oil.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thanks for sharing!

[@hawtnsweet]

How do you avoid the tacky feel though? Doesn't it leave a cast like feel?

[@kiacedillo7067]

Don't use distilled water! It strips hair. Use alkaline water if not using tap. To fix the dryness issue mix rosewater with glycerin sold at cvs you can add the essential oils at the same time and shake well then add aloe vera juice, and alkaline water, shake well. Play with the portion sizes to what works for you.

[@lakeshiaellis6855]

Thanks for the alkaline water tip

[@racquelmcrae8970]

[@jdani520]

Tell your mom to try Locsanity! I am 4C and I was experiencing dryness when I first put my microlocs in. Once I tried Locsanity it really helped with the dryness.

[@TyKaraAnn]

Thanks for the tip!

[@TheprincessBe]

If you must wet your hair every day use rose water. Try black seed oil or black castor oil. Try a co wash instead of shampoos. Example: co wash three Sundays. Shampoo one Sunday. I have been in my love journey for 7.5 years. My locs are now down pass my butt. So i speak from experience. Best wishing on your journey!

[@TheprincessBe]

Loc* journey

[@purplegirl974]

You should put some oil on it after adding water the oil will lock in the moisture when you just add water it won’t hydrate it so I recommend adding oil after you add water onto to keep it from being dry and brittle.

[@yayahn99]

Glycerin is a good moisturizer especially for low porosity girls like me... but using it on locs I eliminated because it can cause more lint to attract to the hair.

[@uhohitsmmg]

Yeah I correct people. I only have 304 locs so I definitely let them know the difference.

[@lakeshiaellis6855]

Me too. I started with braidlocs almost 1.5 years later I just recently cut all my braided ends and am fully microlocd and I correct people too

[@Mint_tea_cup]

I took a hair health course and was told that if you wet the hair and don't follow up with a cream and/or oil, the water will simply evaporate and won't help keep your hair moisturized.

[@MsLaLa-nq6mi]

Your mom is stunning. I use water and glycerin on my sisterlocks . But I didn't start doing that until I was 2 years in. I only use water most days. Your mom's hair might dry because of the water being hard. She might want to try bottled water/purified water. At my 2 year mark I also started using conditioner diluted in water. Using straight conditioner on baby locs can cause them to slip. Hope this helps🤗🤗🤗

[@silliwtd]

WOW! I cannot believe this is your mother. She doesn't look a day older than you! The resemblance and youth is uncanny! But funny enough, my Mom has been wanting microlocs since I got mine done, just need to find someone in her area to do them.

[@prettyboydezaire]

Aloe vera gel and water for your moms hair. Maybe do an oil before or after. If not that there's always shea butter

[@TyKaraAnn]

thanks

[@rhozeekefiran8336]

jojoba oil is a vegetable wax and can be very drying to your hair and glycerin takes moisture from hair when there is non in the atmosphere. I'd use pumpkin seed oil oil or liquid lanolin it's a humectant.

[@najeebasheer9093]

My spray contains: aloe vera juice, rose water, vegetable glycerin, vitamin E oil, avocado oil, caster oil and peppermint essential oil (1 or 2 drops). It’s mostly equal amounts of the first two products and a little of each of the others. This fixed dryness for me. I think letting people know they are not sisterlocks but microlocks is a good thing, because it lets people know they don’t have to empty the bank to get the look.

[@Brownmahfun]

Please use this to moisturize your Moms hair. Aloe vera FROM THE PLANT and mix a lil of her jojoba oil in it and if she wants a few drops of an accentual oil mix. She can put this all over her hair and scalp and it will not build up.

[@nyecore]

[@glorysundaye3896]

I have 4c, very dry hair. I use aloe vera juice, from the plant. I buy a large aloe leaf cut out the inner fillet, toss it in my nutribullet, strain it in a nut milk bag (so there are no aloe flakes that dry in my hair and look like dandruff) and put that in a spray bottle. the whole process takes less than 10 minutes costs about $1 (I buy my allow from the Latin market) and lasts a little over a week. I add EO and keep it in the fridge.

[@swaggedoutvicky421]

[@anoelcollection7215]

You may need a less harsh shampoo. Also try applying squalane oil to your hair right after spraying (avoid water from your sink unless it has been filtered/softened). Squalane oil is one of the few oils that can actually penetrate the hair shaft and keep it soft. You may be high porosity (like me). High porosity hair need some type of sealant and a humectant if you are in a humid environment most of the day.

[@kishispiritesthetics]

I thought you were going to say. Hey y’all this is my twin … wow. How beautiful is she and so youthful looking.

[@hoosieraussis1]

I can't get over how you look the same age as your daughter! I could see how water (almost) alone could make your hair dry. The glycerin might help. Aloe vera gel is a really nice moisturizer that could be easily sprayed on if mixed with water. You could also try some light water-based spray-on conditioners like African Royale braid sheen. Since you are experiencing dryness, you could try following the spray by patting on some light oil (like grapeseed or coconut). You could try a heavier oil (avocado, olive) if the light one isn't working.

[@Rooted_Locs]

if you spray everyday, you have to seal in the water with a light oil right after! once a week i also do a 5 minute light conditioner when i wash...i retain moisture all week (i.e. i no longer have to spritz everyday)

[@angelacovington4903]
