what you need to do in between retwists to keep your locs strong

[@realisrare]

I did absolutely nothing to my locs and it thinned ...meaning no styling or manipulation....after 4 years ....I cut it of.....at 53.... Looking to start over going through menopause and all . Wish me locs.

[@smarti1144]

I completely understand. Good energy and good locs wished upon you! 😊

[@lilbitbreezy5709]

Wishing you loc!🍀😂

[@y.g.smokedog3233]

You mean free from. And I did the samething and my hair was healthy ass hell.

[@realisrare]

@@y.g.smokedog3233 no I did not freeform. I meant I never did any colors or styling and harsh products.....just simple maintenance... which was ...me braiding my new growth.... because it grew away from my locs.

[@goddessoutlaw]

Good luck I hope I'm not to late

[@cmilla2013]

All of my hair around the perimeter of my head fell out after I had my baby. My locs looked they they were hanging by 5 strands of hair 😭😭 thankfully I didn’t lose any locs and my hair is back thick enough on the edges to where I was able to repair those locs BUT now that new hair grows away from my locs which didn’t happen before. These were some awesome tips!!! I did the finger wrapping and a braid out last night with some big plats. Took them out today and my hair looks so much better without having to put all that tension and product in my hair. And I actually like this look better than a fresh retwist. THANK YOU X A MILLION!!!!!!! I had to come find this video again to like and leave a comment after I saw how my hair came out lol

[@patiencebradley9773]

STOP CONSTANTLY TWISTING LOCS, STOP CONSTANTLY COLORING LOCS, STOP WEARING OVER TIGHT STYLES, STOP USING BLEACH😮 THESE THINGS WILL KILL YOUR HAIR. LET YOUR HAIR REST😮 LET IT DO WHAT IT DOES. P.S. STOP OVER WASHING HAIR 😮 YOUR HAIR NEEDS TIME TO ABSORB THE NUTRIENTS, TRY USING SCARFS, SCRUNGES, BANDANAS, WRAPS, FOR STYLING THOSE BEAUTIFUL LOCS SOMETIMES😊, STAY HYDRATED😊

[@TJSmokedEm]

Thank you so much I just got a retwist and wanted to know how to take care of it

[@jqfowler6200]

I never thought by curling my loc’s, I was compressing them. That explains why my curled loc’s looks good for a good week or two and all my little fly always stay in place, nice. 🌺

[@DEANDREXBENNETT]

Always good vibes on you videos been helping me with my journey over the years mad love sis 🖤😌👏

[@6914156]

I have a hard time even parting my roots. My new growth is gray and completely different texture. It’s frizzy almost like wire if that makes sense. I don’t want to color my hair I live the gray but it looks like I have a short gray Afro under my locks.

[@cynthiahillian]

Same 😂

[@tishchild]

Me too, I guess that’s normal with gray hair, so I’m not going to worry about it, I still get a lot of compliments so I guess it still looks good, we still look good, gray and all stop playin❤

[@jaya.d8964]

Thanks!

[@eurecalewis5434]

Thanks for sharing, this video. It was helpful to me. Washing my hair is not helping with the locking process. Certain sections of my hair are locking just fine, but I appreciate you saying not all tips and tricks are going to work. I am on the finer/ low density side as far as hair texture is concern. Going to my loc specialist this weekend. We need to discuss somethings to help me. I am committed just need to change my hair routine.

[@bernadettewilson2245]

About 2 yes ago I was on chemo infusions for an autoimmune disorder. My locs thinned out really bad. So I had to cut them. This is my second time and a few of them is thinning. Any tips is appreciated. I want to thicken my locs

[@cordzMIX]

Remember, if you bleach your hair too much (never bleach more than twice in the same year) your dreads will thin really quickly.

[@AnkhAccords]

what if u never got them Bleached ? and R still Thinning

[@DreaxV2]

Then don't get then retwisted offended, go free form for about 3 - 4 months and check on it​@@AnkhAccords

[@somethingdifferentemily2478]

Wow that colour looks great

[@Anthonyjones-pq4ff]

What about rose water spray for morning & night time . I cover with a lock cap at night ??

[@heiwani_]

This is great! What about if you crochet maintenance? I do that and after about a month, the front where my locs are smaller start separating and joining but I’m too scared about damage to crochet them at that point, so I wait another month. Is this okay to do? Would I risk more damage with crochet maintenance if I do it monthly?

[@kaleysmith4601]

I was considering cutting off my LOCS before watching this. I thought twisting that loose hair at the root bw re-twists was the wrong thing to do! 😅 Thanks for the help!

[@questyg]

She’s is so right🔥🔥🔒🔒🙏🙏

[@andreanaelese]

Love this, wish it was more videos like this when I started my locs 5yrs ago, also found Yannie the Locologist on yt, who says to braid the loose hair into the loc and omg that works wonders!

[@BL-pv7et]

She does my locs as well 😊

[@DaughtherofTMHYAH]

@thedigitalloctitican can you make a video of the products you use in your locs?

[@QueenCBlue]

So what oils or everyday moisturizer do you use for locs so they won’t be dry

[@Trinitea333]

This was soooo helpful! Makes me hopeful

[@mztymtaylormadequeen7127]

Yes when I grew locs my hair grew fast and would Matt together so I would pull them apart

[@jenniferslowley4319]

Greetings. Do you use boxed hair dye? I keep hearing conflicting information about professional colouring or dyeing at home . Blessings

[@CAMICAZE007]

I'm a yr locd this month..and they baby thick and I can't keep my hands out hair..I keep playing with my roots..I may polish my nails to keep my hands out ..lol. i love my teen agers

[@lilbitbreezy5709]

Thank you for this video! Trying to grow dreadlocks

[@adippednail5925]

What is "loc rubbing"?

[@Windsingerful]

Does she mean “locsmithing”? Or palm rolling lightly in that area to “rub” the hairs in the right direction, to stick together?

[@NolaMarieSings01]

She doesn’t explain what loc rubbing or compression is

[@Cyberanticx]

@@NolaMarieSings01she does… Loc rubbing is loc smithing and compression is a style the keep the hairs in place with the loc like two strand twist for example.

[@LadyLaDay]

Great information

[@Meeklove31]

Is just using the instant loc needle to put the hair back in its rightful part a healthy option ? Also I have had locs for 20 months to be exact. I get alot of new growth but my locs look the same length forever which is shoulder length. is taking hair vitamins good for growth of locs? With lose natural the moment I stopped hair vitamins my hair shed not sure if it would shed with locs

[@jenisepitts4273]

Very helpful ❤

[@BonnieBearsong]

so...im wondering...is there any combination of herbs you would recommend to make a tea to rinse your scalp and/or locs with? rosemary, rose petals, rosehips are the 3 things ive been playing around with and have seen a WORLD of difference! im sure theres more out there i havent tried to add to the arsenal yet that are worth giving a shot, but rosemary has been a true blessing and i really dont see many people talk about tea rinses. would love your opinion bc your locs are gorgeous and the minimal herbs ive tried have been a real game changer. the way ive been doing it is on wash day i make 2 big batches of the tea and set it aside to cool, then i wash with castille soap and rinse it out super well, then rinse my scalp with one batch of tea, then dunk my dreads in the second batch. after its dry i mainly use jamaican black castor oil on my parts to redirect the new growth, and ive been really happy with this routine. thoughts? ideas?

[@kimbaottley250]

Thank u.

[@saphire2214]

I have a whole afro going on under my locs. None of this helps unless i do a full retwist which i'm trying to avoid.😭

[@Penelope416]

I was thinking of interlocking so that it lasts much longer than a retwist. Have you considered interlocking?

[@joleshore4818]

Aww your new growth grows away from the lock

[@ValElsie1951]

Thank you so helpful

Hi I was wondering do you still have class and how can I join?

[@thedigitalloctician]

classes for learning locs and loc’d hair care

[@nelesia]

​@@thedigitallocticianhey how did you dye your locs without bleaching?

[@alexanderbirt2479]

Just wanna this is the information I've been searching for thank you, but What's the song playing in background?

[@anydae]

So when you are styling your hair, you use gloves? May I ask why?

[@thedigitalloctician]

To help protect my already fine hair strands.

[@Penelope416]

Some people wear gloves so that their finger nails won't snag or pull on their hair strands.

[@ohemaa3410]

Any suggestions for combatting this on microlocs?

[@maxrack7070]

[@jasonmadeen5260]

You are so damn fine

[@bilingualmami]

I saw a loctician say that braid outs are bad and cause weak spots in your locs...he didnt say anything about twists but now Im scared. I feel the rubberbands on the ends do me too...🫠

[@thedigitalloctician]

If don’t repeatedly yes they are and would. The rubber bands need only be wrapped around 1-2 times

[@devonadams6452]

@@thedigitallocticianhow often can you do braid outs? I do it once a week to stretch my hair
