first time here and you’ve given some extremely helpful tips. i’m almost a year into my loc journey & i’m always confused as to what to do to get my hair to fully loc & be thiccccc too 😭 you’re hilarious btw lmao

[@holisticflo]

Ayyyeee welcome to the channel! I’m so glad you enjoyed the vid and it was amusing 😅 thanks for your comment too and I hope this helped!

[@Maat-obabaa]

4. Your method matters. This is so true! Started with 2 strand twists but my top middle has a looser texture than the rest of my hair so all those 2 strand twists unravelled 😭 So I braided the roots of my top middle and twisted the ends. I'm a 1.5 yrs in and you can definitely see a difference. The braided parts are less thicker than the twisted part of my locs. I call them my honey bees 😊🐝

[@holisticflo]

Oh woww I have actually never heard of anyone braiding at the root and then two-strand twisting near the bottom but it makes so much sense though! I might start recommending that for others as well

[@Maat-obabaa]

@@holisticflo Yeah I never heard of it too but a youtuber recommended it. If I find her video, I'll forward to you 😊

[@holisticflo]

@@Maat-obabaa thank you!

[@ELthatsLoreel]

I was wondering if anyone else ever braided the root of their two-strand twisted locs. The person who did my twists braided my roots without me asking and I was wondering how it will turn out. I’m not taking them out, lol

[@holisticflo]

@@ELthatsLoreel hmmm, 🤔 i havent heard of this before lol

[@batriciaparker]

You make me wanna free form. I usually retwist every 3-4 months but i think I'm gonna try to go longer.

[@xolafutshane3076]

[@holisticflo]

Aww Thank you! 💓

I just started my 2nd set of locs last Saturday, but I think I'm gonna start again. I wanted the brick window look, but they are one one top of the other. Gotta try again this Saturday.

[@Lovedis4]

Thank u so much for your detail

[@holisticflo]

You're welcome

[@Gmusic734]

I watch a lot of your vids, I like your vibe. Sidenote: if you had 74 locs and combined two then you only lost one loc essentially leaving you with 73 not 72..Unless you combined 4 locs, as that would leave you with 72. Just an observation lol. Love x

[@holisticflo]

Yes i actually combined 4 of them but since then I have combined more now i have 68. Thanks!

[@ShadesofSage]

I appreciated this video 😌. I started my locs by interlocking but I really should have chose coils because I want thick locs🤦🏿‍♀️. People were telling me to comb them out and start over but I’m determined to see it through. I’ve only been retwisting the roots and I do have high density hair also so it’s FINALLY getting how I want. I love your locs too😍! Thanks for sharing 💖!

[@jamalwoods2548]

I started with interlock it was terrible after only three months they were knots and certain areas had lumps I loosened them out and started over

[@bellebottoms4861]

Always great video love that your personality is shining so funny! Every time you upload your locs look longer and thicker you look beautiful 💞👍 and hand in hair syndrome is tooooooo real over here 😂

[@holisticflo]

[@antoinetteclark4089]

Thank you for speaking about Genetics. That's actually the only thing that really matters because if your genetics are to have thin hair then nothing you do will thicken them up.

Facts! Thanks for your comment

[@Yajirobeboo]

I only wear my scarf when I have a fresh retwist for a week. Other than that I only use a bonnet.

[@holisticflo]

That’s good and whatever works for you!

[@tinagaines3031]

I really like your locs. They are beautiful!

[@holisticflo]

Thank you!

[@MO-ur2sz]

i also heard if you want a pretty good chance at thick locs start thick!! wish i would of heard this since i do get a retwist every 30 days lol i like the neat look as a young black man with dreads i want to look more mature and kept up with so i dont go periods with the nappy look but so far i like mine they could be thick but from what i see now days mines thick enough 😅

[@holisticflo]

Yes start thick if you want to end out thick. They say that when your locs mature, you can expect them to be as thick as your parting

[@kimberlyjeanmiller2787]

I love the nappy look it lets me know to love and appreciate the journey. Hate re-twist🤗

[@bussinup]

I have to rewatch this video again to learn the tips because I have spent the entire 25mins blushing and admiring the hair :)

[@holisticflo]

Lol thanks so much! Definitely won't hurt to rewatch, i sometimes do 🙌🏾

[@trillsinatra]

Flo hello that’s the name of my aunty as well so it’s nice to meet another beautiful flower 🌸 I can’t keep out my head it’s impossible (exaggerating) but I touch my hair more than I touch my face and I just started the wick process after saying ID never do it but retwist shave became inflated with everything else and I am tender headed already and it takes me hours to do it myself and I’m liking the wicks it’s free they don’t hurt and I can still enjoy my hair as well, I have 14 horns on my crown 👑 call me the hydra 👹

[@holisticflo]

Ayee thats wasup wicks are nice! And since putting my hair more in ponytails away from my face as it grows, i have this problem a lot less. Hopefully it can be the same

[@XiomaraThaGoddessMeow]

😂🤣 the opening bloopers tho... Had me ROLLIN'. Your locs are flourishing 😍.... It's funny, I started out with 72, now I'm at 70.. not too far off from yours.

[@holisticflo]

Im glad you enjoyed the video! And yes we definitely have a similar loc count. And thank you! I wish you well on your loc journey as well 😊

That is 71

[@glennmbilishi3542]

You have beautiful locs😍. I started my locs with comb coil, so I wa wandering if those tips also can apply to me🤔

[@holisticflo]

Thank you!! And yes, they can apply to you still. Just may depend on a variety of other factors as well in addition to the way you started your locs

[@glennmbilishi3542]

@@holisticflo Uhh I see🤔, well I guess I'll just see as my locs grow, they are only a month old now🥺. Thank you for the great content and your help, you have really helped me💪🏾🔥🔥

[@lmao9179]

If I wear a Durag not too tightly with a bonnet for 2 weeks after a retwist then just a bonnet after will my locs still expand? I have 33

[@holisticflo]

Yes they will still expand

[@yeahthatway5604]

When you use distilled water, do you use it by itself? In a bottle? Or there’s other things added to it? Thanks.. 😁

[@holisticflo]

I use it by itself in a bottle

[@josephsheriff2975]

Before you started your locs how long was your hair or how long have you been maintaining your hair

[@holisticflo]

Great question! Here's a really old video of my hair journey before I had locs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bamZeZWnpZJ4brM

[@ravenrichards]

😍😍Thank you🙏

[@holisticflo]

You're welcome

[@damieshoot7546]

So, I removed my locs because it kept breaking (and I always touch my hair, yes) due to dye I think... I'm trying to start a new loc that's thick.... Is it possible to start a loc by braiding my hair? Or do I have to roll it? And I am also trying to grow semi freeform dreads... Is braiding the hair the way to go?

[@holisticflo]

Braids will most-likely make the locs appear a lot thinner than what you would want, and most people maintain them with interlocking method to maintain consistency If starting locs and you want them thick, I would recommend comb coils or two-strand twists like I started.

[@damieshoot7546]

@@holisticflo - Sweet! Thanks for sharing. I will definitely be going for the two strand twist. Right now... My hair is taking lots of time to grow out. I might have to wait for two years before I kickstart the new locs journey. 🤪

[@bettyeames6812]

Locs on short hair also looks beautiful in my humble opinion. Of course my hair shrank a lot too but there’s a lot to love about short locs.

[@jessicatierrayt]

What’s the difference between starting with twists vs coils?

[@terencehussey4976]

I love your locs and really need some help with mines but I’m not good at doing my own and don’t know many locticians In Alaska I am open for suggestions and willing to travel

[@terencehussey4976]

I have been locked up for 6 months now and have smaller locs that I want bigger

[@holisticflo]

What do you mostly need help with? There are methods to make your locs thicker such as combining them or retwisting them less

[@KatieAJ]

I think it also depends on hair density. You and I both have lots of hair on our heads.

[@holisticflo]

It does too

[@Neema150]

Thanks for the tips lovely. I could do without the burp though!

Thick n beautiful.. So palm rolling is bad ?

[@holisticflo]

No. Not bad. I just don't see a point in it other than keeping your locs in a cylindar shape

[@chieftaixi5241]

I’m going in 1 year and feel like these tips for thick locs are too late for me 😢

[@holisticflo]

Not necessarily. Unless they're fully mature, you can implement many of these things. When they're not yet fully mature, they are more malleable
