this was literally asmr. most relaxing video ever omg and the bird sounds in the background just added to it. loved it

[@ogeonye]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I didn't even think about that when I made this video. :-). Maybe I should do more ASMR?! :-)

[@bettyeames6812]

Girl I am with you! Microlocs was / is the best decision I have ever made for my hair. Costa Rica is on my bucket list. I’m celebrating 2.5 years loc’d now and I’m following you for inspiration hair goals.😊😘

[@ogeonye]

🙌🏾 Congrats on 2.5 years loc’d! Not sure what environment you’re in, but my Locs love the weather in the Caribbean side of Costa Rica.

Your hair is beautiful well done on reaching 7 years. Regards regrowth looks normal & after 7 years you could leave longer between reties as it seems you get one full rotation, I recently started to leave longer gaps between reties and it’s great. Also try jojoba or avocado oil as our hair can absorb these 2 oils coconut oil tends to leave hair crispy, but it’s just a suggestion as we have similar hair density & fine strand texture but I have 190 locs as didn’t want lonnnnnnnnng maintenance sessions. Thanks for hair update been waiting for this ☺️ 🇬🇧

[@ogeonye]

Dione! I recognize your name. Thank you for still being here! I did use avocado and jojoba for awhile when I was in the states. I'll give them a try again. Thank you for that reminder. It really means a lot to see your name. How many years has it been for you with your locs?

[@OlayinkaOnAir]

Amazing 🤩!!!

You do an Amazing job Queen ❤

[@ogeonye]

Thank you Linda! Much appreciated. 🙏🏾

[@jk9084]

I'm like you, I like to switch up hairstyles. So I'm afraid I will get bored with the permanent loc look, but I want waist length hair for once in my life 😢

[@ogeonye]

Yea, if I didn’t have Locs, I’m not sure if my hair would reach the length it is now. It would require a lot more time and attention. ✨ I still switch up styles though but now it’s loc’d styles.

[@jk9084]

@@ogeonye I see, thanks for your reply ❤️

[@bettyeames6812]

Same. This is why I originally loc’d my hair. Little did I know I would come to LOVE my locs for so much more than length. Good luck on your loc journey!

[@jk9084]

@@bettyeames6812 Oh that's nice to hear! What are those other reasons?

[@ogeonye]

[@AngelaWhite-z7l]

Have you cut your locs, because I grew mine for 6 years and they were passed the middle of my back😮

[@ogeonye]

No, no official cut. 🤷🏾‍♀️

How u pull hair through that tool to start

[@ogeonye]

Like you would use a needle and thread. Get the tip of a loc and pass it through the tool first and then use the tool to interloc. I hope that makes sense. I’ll explain it on a future video. ✨✨✨
