Starter Microloc Maintenance Routine | How I stretch, wash, and maintain my microlocs

[@kabbyhearts]

When I say trust the process! 🙌🏾 believe it. I have had micro locs for 1 year. And when I say my locs look beautiful and yes they started off short and skinny. Just keep them hydrated enough and wear a bonnet at night. They are definitely worth the little time and Lots of money put into it

[@TheMamaGreen]

Yessss! I love to hear it. Thank you so much for the gems.

[@mizdut3z]

So I just started mine I'm a week in and I'm not sure what I should do to it daily. I am just spraying it with water and oil my scalp every 2 days.

[@fedorabenson3450]

Just loc my hair 5 days aga. This video is so helpful

[@MermaidPisces]

I do just this going on 1 week Friday May 10,2024. I been natural 12 years & have2 strand twist & didn’t cut my 4C hair it thick & soft ❤ the locs so far .

[@zudiegrace]

You started off with twists?

[@yvettesmith4991]

I am 6 weeks in with my sister locks and I LOVE THEM, best decision I have ever made 👍🏾 your locks are simple beautiful 😀

[@TheMamaGreen]

Thank you so much!! yes, absolute best decision I've made

[@blind5678]

Thank you for all of this info. It really helps me in how I need to maintain my locs. I got my Microlocs installed a week ago and have to keep telling myself to trust the process. You give me hope!

[@TheMamaGreen]

congratulations. Yes, trust the process. I'm still trusting my process.

[@roseking6681]

Getting my micro locs installed in two weeks. Excellent information.

[@TheMamaGreen]

Congrats! How are you liking them?

[@tiffanysanders37]

Getting my microlocs installed in 1 more week can not wait supper nervous and excited!!❤

[@positivevibesveda]

@@tiffanysanders37 How’s it been going?

[@miss4b4c]

Your hair is beautiful, thanks for sharing with us. Did you say you wash your hair 1-2 times a week? How soon after installation was your first wash?

[@TheMamaGreen]

You're welcome. Yes, I wash 1-2x a week. I would wait a month if you can. If you work out. just braid and band and you'll be fine. Don't take braids out until your hair is completely dry!

Thank you so much for this video! I too am a Black girl who regularly practices hot yoga. I've been looking for advice for microlocs (specifically starter microlocs) from another yogi. Thank you!

[@TheMamaGreen]

So happy I could help!

[@ChesireWaltz]

My head snapped up so hard when you said you do hot yoga because I have been trying to get into it and struggling with what to with my hair! This was so helpful, your hair is gorgeous. I was shocked when you said you didn't do any conditioning, locs really can't be treated like loose hair :0

[@TheMamaGreen]

hot yoga is THE BEST. I just braided and banded my hair during sessions when my locs were new. And yes, locs require a completely different maintenance routine

[@sherekan.chamblee9022]

I am thinking about getting micro locs. Just afraid of how short they will look and may add extensions.

[@TheMamaGreen]

They'll grow! Highly recommend getting them installed.

[@Aniheartt]

I’m thinking about doing DIY microlocs due to cost reasons, could I start my own?

[@tita8202]

​@@Aniheartt, definitely can.

[@lightyagami2294]

you gotta let your hair shrink to loc properly... its part of the process

[@TheMamaGreen]

I have my Loctician’s blessing to stretch my locs

[@castroslu1]

Good morning everyone?? Question I’m one day into my Microloc journey. Do I spray my hair everyday with water and if so do I only do it in the morning when I wake or at night?

[@TheMamaGreen]

good morning! pray both morning and night

[@Famished4Life]

How do you prevent frizzing? I’m having a problem with that

[@TheMamaGreen]

Frizz is a part of the process. I would embrace it and not worry so much about it. Your hair will eventually loc up and it won’t be an issue. I find that braiding and banding helps maintain the frizz. Whatever you do, do not put products in your hair to slick it down

[@Resilientlyblessed]

My Loctition said the more you oil and wet your hair it will frizz

[@tenaujahsrandom629]

@@Resilientlyblessed I barely do and mine is ultra frizzy I think it varies depending on porosity and texture too

[@achankilat5952]

Thank you for the advice

[@TheMamaGreen]

you're welcome!

[@carmelraphael3082]

Hey, It looks like you found a new loctician. I am in the LA area and need a good referral. Thanks

[@Bwimekangamba]

Hey guys Can I cornrow my starter locs as a 3-5 day hair style I’m two weeks in and have micro locs?

[@TheMamaGreen]

absolutely you can!

[@wysegrannie]

WhT are the products you use again?

[@TheMamaGreen]

I just posted an updated maintenance video

[@searphhoney]

Hi, Does the person who did your hair have an Instagram & or website?

[@TheMamaGreen]

If you follow me on IG, you'll be introduced to my loctician

[@rural_girl555]

[@tenaujahsrandom629]
