Look, the people telling me that locs are dirsty are the same ones who have heat damage and end up with traction alopecia, and at the age of 60 decide they want locs, but it won’t grow because they’re hair is too damaged to sprout 🤷🏽‍♀️

I keep a box of aloe leaves for a number of uses. I used this method on my last re-twist after seeing your video ... loved it! All I used was aloe and a spray bottle of water with some coconut oil (which wasn't really necessary). I've tried blending aloe in the blender and making the gel previously and ended up with little particles of aloe in my hair (which was a no go ... I had to wash my hair again to get them out). I found rubbing it straight from the plant to my hair much better and super convenient! I loved the shine and softness of my hair after it dried. Thanks of the post! :-)

[@DXlocs]

yes! glad I'm not the only one who thought so lol. Thanks for watching

[@RobinNatural1]

Your hair looks so shiny and healthy! Lovely.

[@DXlocs]

+Robin F thank you 😊

[@nedgeesinger3367]

Hi, following your instruction I used aloe vera to retwist my hair.I think it's better then when I use the others gel. Thank you for your videos

[@samanthahouston5121]

did the hold last for a long time

[@AJ-pc2gl]

@nedgeesinger thank you for your comment .I've seen many aloe retwist videos but I was wondering how it compares to other gels.

[@danabryant4900]

When I had my first set of locs in the 90's. I used to use the aloe vera plant the way you just did in your video. Lately in videos, I've been seeing people put it in a bowl, blend it, etc...and then wash it out. I was so confused because when I used it the way you did, my hair turned out great. Just as your hair did. I have my third set of locs now and I just bought a plant but after I saw how everyone washed it out I got confused. Thank you for confirming that I can go ahead and do it the way I always have. Your locs are beautiful...

[@Blaze0647]

100% Haitian here and I totally relate.. Haitian parents are really...........iffy when it comes to locks. Always have to turn down their requests to take me to a barber.

[@lilliathmanigault9397]

That's the controlling spirit that they have. Pure narcissists'. Girl keep doing you. Coming from a Haitian sista.

[@tjbmom123]

I want traditional locks sooooooo bad, I have Sisterlocks 😐, they are okay but they are gonna make me a slave, traditional locks I could maintain myself but these, not. Your locks are beautiful 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 thank u so much for doing these videos & for the information. GOD BLESS.

[@missquccibabe]

What's the difference between regular locs and sista locs?

[@tjbmom123]

Sisterlocks are very small intricately created locks using the interlocking process which are very easily styled due to their small size, they are quite versatile but I really have a love for traditional locks.

[@missquccibabe]

ohh okay, those sound like they take forever to retwist. You should try combining your locs

[@santiaspivey2800]

Combine. Another beauty in all locs

[@tjbmom123]

+KimmieSquare they are not "retwisted" in the traditional sense l, it's more like interlocking

[@metcalfethegod]

Your locs are nice... and I never thought about the aloe plant method... I should give it a try.

[@metcalfethegod]

akamouse100 Thank you so much. I use nothing but pure products. Coconut oil & water.. I was my hair with sulfer 8... Castor oil. and African Shea butter.

[@Vweebs]

akamouse100 hibiscus flowers? How do you mix it?

[@lhamilt]

Love a fresh crispy retwist

[@JaleesaAyoka]

I use aloe on my face all the time but I have never tried it to retwist my locs. I can't wait to try this because I HATE using store gel on my locs because I just know there will be build up.

[@temmekkjoiner5849]

Jaleesa Ayoka use along on ur face for what? I'm fighting acne and I'm trying to find a solution

[@kellyglusovich6960]

Don’t use it directly on your hair like that. It will leave a bunch of pulp on your hair. The. It’s gonna be hard to take out

[@AroundTheWayGirl88]

What do you use aloe on your face for?

[@BL-pv7et]

@@kellyglusovich6960 whats the best way to use it ?

[@Ninalemsgarden1]

Thank you for the inspiration. I started my loc journey on 11-15-18. Im loving it. 🌼🌺🌹

[@DXlocs]

Congrats on starting! 🙌🏿

[@yomama62196]

First, I would like to say you have definitely inspired me to try Aloe Vera now. I'm a year and half into my locs and still trying to figure some things out. Secondly, I'm happy to see someone else use a hand held dryer instead a hooded one!

[@zoneishajames2269]

Thank you for sharing this video! I decided to used it today to retwist my locs & I love the feeling that I no longer have to worry about my hair being oily. Good bye to (let's jam, bees wax etc). I love it

[@cjohnsob1983]

Exactly the video I have been looking for. Thank you for the thorough explanation and tutorial! Beautiful job!

[@empressazil]

Hello, thank you for this video. After watching it, I was inspired to go buy Aloe Vera to retwist my locs.

[@nonaperry5403]

I grew my hair. 2 inches aftet my shave using this..now I'm looking toward my loc journey..I love this video❤

[@trini18alday]

I have been using the mango and lime locking gel and decided to switch to aloe vera gel. Thanks so much for the awesome tutorial.

[@Nlrsuperstar]

i like the re-twist look its so sleek and the aloe worked nicely...i dont have locs but i may use this in my natural hair styles

[@evoofti]

Finally found a aloe Vera plant. and I'm about to wash and retwist my hair. ❤

[@elwandaa1882]

You did a great job on your locs, you made it look so easy...i can't wait until my locs are where yours are...thanks for sharing

[@jaylocs2056]

mannnn there is no way I can do my own head. it would take me foreverrrrr

[@ermageorge657]

I love the video. I forgot my shampoo when I traveled to Guyana. I had to use the aloe that was growing so thick in the bucket. Also I grow rosemary, and sage. You can dry them make a tea. use them as a rinse.

[@menosawills2969]

Oh yeah I’m from Guyana

[@CW-eg2se]

I really liked this video. It helps me a lot to know different ways I can do locs and twists. I try my best to do all natural hairstyles. With myself and my family. And that is a nice hairstyle on you. Keep the videos coming!

[@KO-D00M]

oh wow the way u apply the aloe vera is so logical and convenient. i never thought of applying it that way. i have dozens of aloe vera plants in my backyard but stopped using it as gel becuz i hated the application process (too messy) but now that i've seen this im gonna give it another try

[@DXlocs]

+u0fo lol thank you! You are lucky to have it in your back yard too

[@LocCrush]

Great video! I love using pure aloe vera too

[@tenishastewart17]

This seems like such a convenient and effective way to retwist! do you still do this? If so, have you found any concerns with it? I planned on just using aloe gel from the shop

[@EndlessOceans]

Publix stand up! haha loved this video, now I can't wait until the one on my porch grows a little bigger. great channel!

[@arielwhite2419]

i love that you make it look so easy... cant wait til mine are this long

[@nynymom]

I'm going to try the aloe plant for my son on his next retwist. I never knew how to use the darn thing (aloe plant). Thanks!

[@DXlocs]

lol! hope it works out well

[@myjfaalfaal6895]

I love your locs so much. You were my inspiration to start my locs. My locs will be 6 months on August 6th. I also wanted to say I have never left a comment on anyone's page but, I love watching you and your beautiful family. Thank you for giving awesome tips I look forward to seeing your future post and volgs.

[@DXlocs]

thank you so much! this comment is inspiring

[@lilmisshaiticherie8690]

Love your locs! ❤️Just started my Loc journey 2 months ago. I have braid locs and having a hard time with my ends. To my fellow Haitian sista sak pase ayisien! I am now a new subscriber

[@sherikalockhart3020]

[@JuWithTheView]

Such a Zoe 😂😂 love it 🇭🇹

[@queenjee8570]

Your hair is gorgeous! I wish mine would become as beautiful as yours. I'm in my 3/month journey from braids

[@Iam2blsd2bstrsd]

Can I use ready made aloe Vera gel in/from the bottle? Btw... my Haitian in-laws have yet to comment on my locs. I don't think they like it. I'm different from the other daughters in-law with straight creamy crack hair 🤣 oh yeah btw I'm Jamaican 🇯🇲

[@lilliathmanigault9397]

They're not going to like Jack as long as its different. Haitians are very judgmental and colonized by French traditions which includes the straight hair, religious, and colorist folly. Girl continue to be yourself that's probably why your husband choose you and you chose him from the get go. I'm haitian. My father tripped when my husband put a doo rag on our son. He said only "thugs" wear that kind of stuff. I ran from that mentality. I have a tattoo and plan on getting more, a nose piercing etc.. I allowed my sons and daughters to get piercings. My older son is now on his loc journey so I'm here on this channel because of him. Hes made me his stylist 🙂. As long as it makes you happy who cares what your in laws think. As for your other in laws with the creamy crack on their heads reality is they're going to have to do much more than that to "please " their Haitian in laws. Even after all of that they will still talk sugar honey Iced Tea.

[@samarascott8648]

Thanks! Using it straight fromThe plant is a great idea and time saver, I’ll be doing that next time!

[@msfrancesse]

by the way I am Haitian too and my moms use to hate them. She thinks that as a Nurse Practitioner, I wouldn't be respected as a professional . Once she saw I stuck with them for three years, she gave up and even wash and style them for me.

[@ladyr3d31]

Go girl 😍Thanks for making this video💜I started my lock journey yesterday and I am so excited 😊

[@BamBam-fw5jm]

this make me wanna retwist my hair so bad but I have the smallest locs in the whole world and it's gonna take forever... I can feel my wrist hurting just thinking about it

[@bunmio.-k.3325]

I love this video! I have been wearing locs for 8 years. I have been interlocing (expensive!) for the past two years because of the thinning from frequent palm rolling. And I am on the path of seriously thinking about chopping them off. but I have been researching the easiest methods of retwisting hair without thinning the locs and using natural aloe gel. Let me tell you, I love your technique from start to finished especially the edge control. I will definite give this method a try! I just need to find a place that sells aloe leaves. I checked publix near me in tamps, Fl and they do not carry it.

[@DXlocs]

THank you! and I'm surprised they don't have it

[@daherbalgoddess777]

Bunmi O.-K. Check out Yannie Locologist on here. She's very informative on thinning locs. Could be a number of reasons.

[@ljt1397]

I just used this method a couple of days ago and I fell in love. I don't think I will be using any more loc gels or wax in my hair. Thank you

[@514Exc]

Its not just haitian parents, its just the culture of the carribean, we were taught by white people that our hair wasnt acceptable if it wasnt shaved, my mom refused to braid or plat my hair when i was a kid/teenager, im really loving this new era of black people loving their hair and experimenting with different styles !

[@MommyLocsx3]

My fellow Haitian! Your locs are so beautiful....I'm one year loc'd next month I'm going to try this aloe Vera gel my next retwist thanks!

[@SheLovesLight]

Ahahaha, you have to be a Zoe … hilarious. That was a Zoe move though. Lol. I tried aloe Vera once and it made me itch. I think I'm allergic to it. But I think it's a great alternative. My uncle used it way back in the day when he had Locs. Great informative video as always. Tell your hubby HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!

[@DXlocs]

+SheLovesLight 😂lol yes it was. And that's interesting that it make you itch, I get like that when I eat pineapple. He says thank you so much!

[@hearfan]

the green skin part will make you itch, try using only the gel part. The green part makes me itch too.

[@qjhuanpowell639]

what it's looks so easy now thank u I'm glad I found your video it really helps I didn't kno u can use that plant for dreads and my mom buys it all the time thank u love your dimenstration👍👍👍

Girl you is so awesome I look forward to your videos; I recently had to start using a CPAP machine I'm trying to have my daughter style my hair in a away were its comfortable for me while I wear my mask. God bless and thanks again for the videos keep them coming 🙏🏽💜🌷👸🏾

[@solangeWilliams]

I can't drink the aloe Vera juice cause I'm allergic (lips swoll up and my gums got red and irritated) so I haven't tried it on my hair or skin yet. Hair looks good though and if you decide to loc your hair again I want to be there for the journey 👏🏾

[@Veronica-678]

amazinging video, simple but effective, i cut mine twice in 30 years. what do you use on a daily basis.

[@royhenderson1581]

I,really love ❤ 😍 your locs video

[@tbump74]

I'm really interested in trying this. Currently I buy a gallon of aloe vera found at Walmart and spray on after washing. I seal the moisture with castor oil, then use gel to retwist.

[@SuprEmpth]

You do your hair so effortlessly. Wonderful job. How long in between retwist do you notice your new growth starting to loc up/won't unravel?

[@ilovemybrudder]

Love love love your size of locs and the amount ❤️

[@kymbo7k]

Interesting about people thinking the Haitians having locs is a normalcy. As a Haitian American, I've experienced always opposite and negative comments about locs. If anything my mother used to always have the idea that locs are only a Jamaican/Rasta thing. So she is going to have FIT when I get my locs this week. Oh, and I am a new subscriber!

[@DXlocs]

+K.Chavez lol!! Just like my mother she still talks ish til this day. Good luck with that and your new locs. Thanks for subbing too 🇭🇹

[@JaggerL0c0]

This video was amazing and great tips and outstanding oh and I just have one question I’m curious and I just wanna know how long does it take for my hair to lock up using this method and I was going to make some in a jar because I just started my second new journey December 15 because I wanted mine my locs to be bigger and I’m just curious how long will it take for my hair to lock up using it on my locs and the reason why I started all over because my first set of locs was too small and thin and I didn’t like it when the person did my hair they did it wrong.

[@AllAboutAliciaa]

Love your hair. I'm surprised that the aloe vera gel laid them edges down. This stuff does look like it can come down in handy. I might have to see how I like it myself.
