[@aliasanew3398]

That bleach talk is REAL talk , I never hear anyone admit to this. I started my third set of locs recently (just hit my 3 months!!!) and after dying my hair since like highschool I have also realized myself that every time I went blonde/platinum my hair wound up becoming brittle and crunchy. A year ago I shaved my head for the last time and started my most healthy and nurtured set of locs june of 2020! To growth everyone!

[@ShaneseDanae]

Happy Growth to you too! Thank you so much for sharing your story☺️

[@bonitahaitian_2939]

Your locs look so freaking healthy .

[@ShaneseDanae]

[@JazziMaiArt]

Love your energy 💗 I spritz my locs with rosewater+vitamin E oil mixture and use Mielle rosemary mint oil on my scalp. Satin pillowcases and no styles.

[@MosDefSteph510]

I’ve been locing my hair since 1998 and I 100% agree with all of this. Needless to say, some of these lessons I’ve learned the hard way 🙄 If you’re new to locs, LISTEN 👏🏾TO 👏🏾SIS👏🏾 because #Facts

Subscribed! Hey friend! I'm gonna be a honey locs girl. Started my 2nd set last week and I'm ALL natural this time. Black soap shampoo, monthly honey retwists, wild growth oil on scalp, and aloe vera water spray for moisture.

Heyyyyy Frannnnn! O’lllll the honey sounds amazing! Keep me updated on the honey. I may want to try that

[@TaylordSpirit]

@@ShaneseDanae Update: Water and oil retwists only. The honey works better in my tea. I add castor oil to the wild growth to thicken oil and everything else in my routine is the same.

QUEEN!!! When you said don't bleach...My hair literally broke by the inches three years after I bleached it. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. My hair is finally back to its original length and still growing. I was so sick and freaked out when my hair broke. But thankfully it's back to its original color and I will NEVER color my crown again. You hit the nail on the head with that truth❤️🙏🏽🌹

[@ShaneseDanae]

Awe thanks sis! Yes! I swear I want color but I know if I color it. It’s a wrap and all my locs will be on the floor. Lol 😂😭 when I was loose natural I went blonde. Sissss when I say the texture changed. I got frustrated and did a big chop. So after that I made a promise to myself to never bleach it again. Thank you so much for watching I truly appreciate it 👑🌸

I Totally Agree With This I Go To My Loctician Every 3 To 4 Weeks For A Retwist

[@lynnmac5116]

I've had my locks for 21 years. They are past my waist now, but they were mid thigh. Bleaching my hair definitely damaged it. 😫 I've always palm rolled it, but decided to interlock it and that was a bad idea also because it slowed caused breakage. Just let your hair do its thing naturally. I use essential oils mixed with natural hair care products that I buy. I also have always allowed my hair to dry naturally.

[@ShaneseDanae]

Awe thanks for the advice! Why don’t you like interlocking I’m just curious. I thought about it and just changed my mind because I love palm rolling

[@lynnmac5116]

@@ShaneseDanae I actually like interlocking because my roots look neat for a longer time. However, my locjs broke at the point where I did the interlocking. I might have done something wrong.

[@ShaneseDanae]

Ohhhhh I see. That’s why i wanted to interlock because my roots are something serious 😂. But I think I’ll stick with the palm rolling for now.

[@Jsween876]

I’m one year 3 months into my loc journey. People compliment my locs and all that but personally, I think it’s ruined. They still feel spongy and the ends are STILL not blunted . Luckily I don’t have build up but man, I just feel like my locs are suffering. I’ve come too far to cut them off though.I just feel stuck.

[@ShaneseDanae]

Wait Whyyyyy? What don’t you like about them? Is it the way they feel or look. I need more details. Don’t cut them😫 I mean unless it’s making you that unhappy. Definitely follow your peace

[@Jsween876]

@@ShaneseDanae they look fine but they feel spongy. They're still not at the density to be called locs. I feel like I can comb it out easily at the ends. When it grows, the roots grow apart from the loc too even though I do the interlocking method. Its grown alot since I started with no build up but I just feel like its taking forever to *mature*.

[@Michelle-hu3zn]

@@Jsween876 it may just be part of your process. I have very fine hair with three different curl patterns. My hair just looked curly for the first year of my loc journey. I hated it!!! Then it finally started to form locs. The back two rows never locked lol. It was just straight hair that refused to submit to the process lol. This time around, I instant loc'd and added extensions. I hope you find your groove and whatever works for you and your hair ☺️

[@ShaneseDanae]

It will mature everyone’s process is different. I agree with the comment below that the instant loc method helps. But if your locs weren’t started that way it will take a lot longer to mature

[@beli169]

I was taught to interlock in cosmetology school every sixish months if your locs tend to unravel 🤔 interesting much to think about

[@ShaneseDanae]

Hey sis! If your hair isn’t locing then yes some ppl would interlock that loc to help it loc. The only difference ....and this is only my opinion if that persons hair isn’t thick eventually in that loc that was interlocked will have weak spots over time. So it’s def not for everyone. Disclaimer lol just my opinion lol

[@EstherLove]

I know this video is old, but you mentioned keeping your hair oiled. For some reason when I put oil directly to my scalp, my scalp becomes super irritated. I’ve tried castor oil, coconut oil, shea butter, etc. anything that consists of any type of oil my scalp get super itchy and I start to break out really bad. Do you have any suggestions I could try? Maybe I should only put oils on my hair instead ?

[@ShaneseDanae]

Try spraying it with water mixed with the lemon grass spray by alikay naturals. It has oils mixed but it’s not as heavy and see if that works. I can totally relate to that. I can only put oil in my scalp every so often.

[@shawnamontgomery6040]

I love your hair, and videos. What is the name of the salon, and stylist you went to?

[@ShaneseDanae]

I went to Gems_inseption on IG. Or sometimes I do my own hair. Once I grow in a year or 2 I will be offering this service in my salon as well 🥰 I’m manifesting here lol

[@whohebe6759]

Yessir‼️

[@eh3852]

Enjoyed your video. I have a question because you mentioned interlocking. Can you achieve a uniformed loc by using this method?

[@ShaneseDanae]

I believe you can but it depends on how the loctician does it. Some people still have a little texture to their locs. However palm rolling might be the best method if your looking for a complete uniform loc. Although, sometimes the locs do whatever they want to do anyway 😂

[@ParezIsraelFromCME]

This was only a year with your Locs ?? I must be doing something wrong mines halfway down my head

[@ShaneseDanae]

[@trojuanhenderson6775]

Than you for this video ! When you speak on bleaching are you just speaking of adding color as a whole? Or just a specific method?

[@ShaneseDanae]

If you bleach I def would only do the ends so that way it doesn’t damage your hair and you’re still able to retain length and trim as needed. However, there’s some people that can take bleach really well. I think it’s important to know how your hair is with bleach prior to bleaching 🥰 I hope this helps

Are you still wearing the loc extensions? btw great content.

[@alexandraiboroma9815]

Hey, Shanese. Can you use leave-in conditioners? How often do you wash?

[@ShaneseDanae]

I wash once a month. I use Alikay Naturals Lemongrass spray here and there but that’s the only leavin I would use because you don’t want to cause build up

I plan to lock my hair but it's already bleached should I go back to black to avoid the damage?

[@ShaneseDanae]

Hey love! If it’s already bleached that’s okay! Technically if you dye your hair putting another color over it is just more of an appearance 🥰 because your hair is still bleached. I don’t want you to think that bleaching is a bad thing. Just make sure you moisturize your hair good and take care of it and it will flourish 🌸🌱.
