I’ve just been studying curly, Coily hair and I’m concluding personally that it doesn’t need to be harassed by combs that butchers it. My late Mom from the Island of Jamaica has had locks most of her life. She just passed in July and would love, love, love to know that my sister and I are going to loc our hair. Many blessings and success to all who are growing your amazing loss. Love a& Light for real! ❤️☀️✊🏽

Not a lot. There is a video on this channel.of my brief footage/pic journey. I wish I had more.

[@seasoneddiva160]

Hello, how long have you had your sisterlocks and what can one expect to pay for a retightening? Your locs are gorgeous and the information you gave was very helpful!!TFS!!

[@cyno5002]

My only concern is working out. I do this 5 times a week. I know not to wash often and braid them down. But I also have a very dry scalp. She said not to wash until week 2. I have rosewater handy and that’s about it. Do I still need to band them on top of that? I’ve only had them for a few days and they’re holding up. Just want to make sure I’m not skipping a step.

[@Sisterlockertv]

Congratulations on 4K!! I love all your videos. Just a few questions for you. You still experience having bumpy LOCS and fat ends even with Braiding & Banding? Do you often have holes? I never had holes. I never had the curly ends my Consultant went all the way down to the ends. I still haven’t used oil it’s been 1 year. Your Locs are beautiful.

[@TunisiaAli]

Hey sis!!! Thank you. I often unravel my ends. I like them open. But also over the years, lint picking has made its share of imperfections. I never experienced holes with my loc install. But with lint picking and opening my ends, I will from.time to time have an open section that unravels (really more than a hole). If I dont keep an eye in the repair and I let it unravel too much? The ends can become dense again. There have been times where I go very high on a lock and unravel it which creates an opportunity for it to become very dense again as the locks continue to do what they do. So nice to get a shot out.

[@rhuleg09]

I think using natural colours rather that chemically help your locks too. My friends locks great N she naturally colours her hair. I'd like to but I will wait till my hair settles. I am grateful for your videos on this. Also my Loctician says we don't need oils. U say essential oils is ok. Could u say what type oils is good to use especially when the hair might begin to smell?! I can't wait for more length next year. As my hair is long initially I cant wait to see its potential. I get installed on Sunday 😁

[@TunisiaAli]

Watch my other videos.

[@songjames4609]

Uh why would those ( less than 1 to 2 years sisterlocked) use oils or products such as (cremes , pomades,etc) on their locks? You explained about hair colouring and my loctician said the same thing.

[@TunisiaAli]

Some folks do. I dont know about pomades, but my loctician started with oil on day one. I have never regretted it. Many will say they need a little something for moisture/conditioning and scalp health or irritation. I cant imagine ever using a creme or pomade on my hair. When I do make my own essential oil blends, they are light and 100% natiral5. Thank you Song for giving feedback.

[@LateshaGilmore]

I love your videos! I wish I'd come across your videos before I locked my hair but I'm thrilled I'm still in my early stages so your videos are extremely helpful!! I saved your video for your oil/moistureriziing mix but it's been removed nowwww...🥺 what happened? Will you post another?

[@TunisiaAli]

Ahwww. I was advised to remove it due to the soon to be mass marketed new blend. So I took I had to take it down. I'm glad you like my channel too! Tell you what, send me a text and reference our text here please as soon as you can. Be sure to alert me to who you are and remind me.

[@carlinehenry1079]

I wish I came across your page prior to locking. I had my hair locked a week ago and am having regrets and I think it's of the loctician that I used. What tips do you have for a newbie. My loctician told me I don't have to band. I need help please I feel like I want to take it down.

When should braid and band? When washing

[@Locsandknots]

Are you suggesting braid and band other than just washing or braid and band all the time even when you go to sleep.

I think it depends of what you would be doing at another time beside washing. As it get longer and longer, it may seem sensible. It varies from person to person.
