How many locs do you have

[@surrected4526]

Simone of Beauty Coliseum did my first installation of sisterlocks back in 2006, or so. I did not follow through with maintenance, etc., because of life changes, so transitioned to microlocks. She did an awesome job. She is such a beautiful person. And apparently ageless! Still gorgeous, I see! ~ Thanks for sharing your journey 🌸🙏🏽🌼

[@prettycautiousme5527]

surrected4526 thanks for the info

[@Oonagh72]

Congrats!! 🎊🎈🎉🍾!! Your hair will be mid back length by this time next year. Also get a small squeeze bottle to put your shampoo in so can put the shampoo directly on your scalp. I just read an article saying add like a tablespoon of sugar to your shampoo to exfoliate your scalp. Only do it like once a month, but it helps clean your scalp and it dissolves so it gets out of your hair easily. I’m trying it on my son tonight.

[@lavenialivinglife]

Oonagh72 Thank you!! I’ve never heard of using sugar! I’ll have to look into that. How did it work out on your son?

[@Oonagh72]

lavenialivinglife Here is one of the articles I read www.thisisinsider.com/add-sugar-to-shampoo-soft-hair-2017-3. I can’t testify if it helped his flakes because he doesn’t like for me to wash his hair (he’s 16) so he was rushing me. However his hair was a lot softer and felt less stripped after using dandruff shampoo.

[@msdeev1h516]

Congrats! I know how you feel I couldn’t wait to hit my 1 year mark with my Sisterlocks. Funny after I hit that I didn’t even think about it anymore. I’m 19 months in now and like you I’m delighted with my Sisterlocks. My locks have grown like crazy. I took the retight class and I’ve done my own for about 3 months now but like you I’ve decided for at least the next 3-4 retights I’m gonna go back to my consultant. It’s good to know how to do your own but nothing like having a pro do it.

[@lavenialivinglife]

Msdeev1 H Thank you!! Completely agree. It’s empowering knowing how to do it myself but I too will probably be making the trip to Philly for the next couple of months.

[@xavysgrandmom17]

I am getting my hair done at Beauty Coliseum at the end of March. I can't wait!!!!! Your hair looks fantastic.

[@lavenialivinglife]

Kimberly Keemer Thank you!! Yayy that’s awesome! You won’t be disappointed 👍🏾

[@jazzyj22w58]

I love your locks. I started watching your videos when you were about 4 months and I was a newbie. I am at 8 months now. You are an inspiration to others. Thanks.

[@lavenialivinglife]

[@quelinajordan]

Thanks for the progression... I'm always curious about the before...

[@sunshinzbetter]

What a bonus to this video hearing from the owner and locktition. Thank you so much for this video. Within your year, how often did you go in to retighting?

[@msneeta77]

Your hair is gorgeous! I have a consultation in about a week. Both excited and nervous:-) You ladies did a fantastic job on her hair!

[@lavenialivinglife]

Venita Baker Thank you!! Oh yay! That is exciting! Don’t be nervous🤗

[@Aestheticallyyash]

So excited for you! It has grown so much. Its gorgeous. Ive been watching your journey since the beginning. Sisterlocks has dandruff shampoo and dandruff spray on their website. I have both products and they def help. I wash with the dandruff shampoo first, then follow with the starter lock shampoo then I spray the danfruff spray on my scalp once done. I also have the sisterlocks moistutizer, and i use that last. Then I sit under the dryer and let dry 😄. I do all this with my hair braided and banded. Hope this helps you. Im 3 months in with my locks and loving every moment. (All these were recommendations from my loctician)

[@lavenialivinglife]

Sisterlock'd N' Free Thank you!! Oh yeah!! I think I’ll try their dandruff shampoo first then. I forgot about that. Thank you for sharing your routine!

[@Aestheticallyyash]

You're welcome. Follow me back on IG @mommy.mogul I was thinking on starting my own youtube channel

[@lavenialivinglife]

Sisterlock'd N' Free You should! I’m having a lot of fun! Plus it’s a cool community especially for sisterlocks👍🏾

hair rinses made of rosemary, sage and nettle will check dandruff and does not leave build-up

[@ExquisiteKinkyCoils]

That's true Mary. I love that herbal tea mix, along with adding Lavender tea. Using the mix leaves my locs moisturized, strong, & dandruff free nearly 10 years now.

[@Kindabizzare]

Love your hair and personality girlie! I'm about to start my journey soon and you are definitely helping with the motivation...

[@BarbeeSpeaks]

Ohh! I didn't know you were in Philly. Wish i would have known before I got my locs established in MD. -_- I do need someone to maintain them here so I'll check them out! Thanks!

[@raineynight]

Funny, when they were 1st installed, it looked like a lot of the ends had left out. However, now it doesn't.

[@lamonicasullivan3636]

What size locs did you start off with? Your locs are Gorgeous..

[@tammyl.3436]

Beautiful hair. I see you love them feather wood earrings lol :-)

[@Dulnaivi]

Just as a heads up, it's not dandruff your experiencing. That's the bulb of your hair, its white. When you lose hair, normally it just drops or is combed out. With locs, it grows down and you van just see the bulbs throughout. My daughters is the same way, I tried EVERYTHING until i found a video explaining it. You can do a temporary color to color the bulbs if it really bugs you.

[@JuWithTheView]

Congratulations one year and 1k!

[@lavenialivinglife]

TheBeautifullyjuju Thank you!! Both are amazing🤗

[@leeceyleece2406]

Great subject - maybe some people don’t need any product because heir scalp can handle business but I do. I use jojoba oil and almocado shampoo for stage 1 sisterlocks. My scalp cannot cope, I have a condition and I have to take care of my headpiece! I also have to wash every 7-10 days at present to take good care of it as my scalp gets extremely dry in patches after 3 days.

[@lavenialivinglife]

I just googled almocado shampoo. I'm torn now between this and Dr. Locs. Any negatives with almocado??

[@pinkladycouture3355]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@tamekabooker9991]

girl I noticed them earrings you had on in all your monthly updates lol.. its just funny because I cant hold on to a mines any longer than a week

[@keciarichardson9175]

Hey Lavenia! It's Amp. I was thinking about starting locs and came across your video 😁

[@sandraschmeling6068]

My installation apt is in 2 weeks!! So excited and can’t wait!! How long was your natural hair just before your install?

[@lavenialivinglife]

Sandra Chivandire That’s exciting!! My natural hair was 11 inches max before install.

Very nice video. I’m getting Sisterlocks next month and I’m very excited! Thanks for sharing your journey!🥰 You’re locks are beautiful!!! What city,state did you get them done? I’m in Texas.. so I’m just curious., Enjoy your journey!!!

[@tiffanygaither1481]

Congratulations on your 1 year mark. I'll be there with you next month. You are most definitely a distant cousin and not a stranger anymore. Lol Your hair looks great keep the videos coming. Oh and what's the story behind the leaf ear rings? I think all but 2 months they showed up. I'm just curious not judging.

[@lavenialivinglife]

Tiffany Gaither Haha thank you!! Will do on the vids! I know these earrings are worn out😂 I just love them so much and they match everything in my closet it seems like lol! Probably way past time to change it up😳 They’re Toni Daley earrings!

[@Sharis_Spot]

Your locks look so nice. I’m trying to get my locks started I just need to find someone to do them too bad I no longer live in Philly.

[@lavenialivinglife]

Shari's Spot Thank you! Hopefully you’ll be able to find someone listed on the Sisterlocks website. Gorg photo btw😊

[@ceetee9738]

Congratulations! Your hair looks great...and the babylocs are thriving!!! I'm right behind you.. my year locversary is March 8! I agree...best decision ever! I'm in the Philly area so I'll keep Beauty Coliseum in mind as a back up. My consultant is in Delaware and I love her! But it's nice to have a backup. Question: Do your retie's hurt? I've heard several ladies on YT talk about having to take Tylenol prior to their appointment because of how painful their retie's are. I'm amazed by that because mine has never hurt. Does yours? Just curious. Thanks for sharing and WooHoo for Year Two!!!!

[@lavenialivinglife]

Cee Tee Thank you!! Happy early locaversary to you!! I’ve experienced discomfort before with retis but not that bad. Come to think of it, this most recent one didn’t hurt at all.

[@07heavensentme]

Gorgeous locs

[@lindaduncan3292]

Did you use anything to help grow your hair? Its gorgeous!!!! Congrats on making it to 1yr on your journey.

[@lavenialivinglife]

Linda Duncan Thank you! I used nothing for growth but if you find something, let me know!!

[@GreatforGodMinistries]

lavenialivinglife I recommend Mineral Rich for hair growth. There are quite a few videos here on YT about it. It's a liquid vitamin that grew my hair, my friend's hair and my mother's faster than usual. It helps boost energy too Anyway, I appreciate your enthusiasm and videos 🙂HTH! 😊

[@elizabethwilliams2016]

Did you have your SL installed with the 4 point or the 3 point rotation? And how long did it take your Locs to swell?

[@lavenialivinglife]

4 point. I don’t recall exactly but maybe 6-8 months in.

[@Godskidful]

I'm in the Philadelphia area I might check them out

[@africanqueen296]

I retighten every 6 weeks if I didn’t already mention it.🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒

[@sheilaclark7033]

I Love it I'm going to get some a little afraid

[@divineapril]

Just subscribed... I am starting my Sisterlocks journey on my page

[@tuesdayrose7060]

Use apple cider vinegar and baking soda to clean locs and scalp

[@267sprint9]

How many locs do you have? Does the install or retightening process put stress on the scalp. Is it tight? Is it painful?

[@lavenialivinglife]

I have approx 480 locs. My discomfort sometimes comes from the separating while my hair is being retightened but other than that, it’s pretty painless👍🏾
