I’ve been growing locs for 13 years. I told my loctition last year that I wanted to semi-freeform. She said, “if you do that I will charge you more if you need a retwist.” That scared me and I kept going. Now with Covid, I’m doing my own hair and not retwisting. I’m feeling such freedom.

Ive had locs for 9 years, never had it "fixed" or retwister or nothing. Never put any products in it (except for washing with Dr. Bronners 1-2 times a month), never palmrolled - all of this for 8 years. Until last year, I did the big mistake of changing my washing routine. I purchased expensive, fancy "dreadlock products" and a loc conditioner, and I did this routine once a week. I also started twisting them every day really tight with oil so there would be no baby hairs sticking out. I was obsessed with always looking neat because my boyfriend at the time told me his family thought locs were dirty looking, and that they probably wouldn't accept me. I also pulled my locs back really hard to give myself a face lift hahah. So my roots started thinning out, I could see signs of traction alopecia, my scalp would hurt all day long, and I got really bad dandruff. Now I've stopped doing all that, Ive gone back to dr bronners tea tree shampoo 1 time a month, and I've dumped the man who didn't love me for who I was. My locs are now 30-32 inches. :)

My father had free form locks and when I started balding and cut my locks he said we don’t wear locks for fashion. He said “the elderly white woman with one big lock on her head is just as beautiful as the man with 50 locks or 7 locks. We wear locks for pride.” Btw: my father was Native American. Go figure

I love Queen Yannie's perspective. She enlightens as she speaks. Everyone is different and everyone's environment is different. With this in mind everyone can not do the same things and get the same outcomes. But the one thing you can do that will always work with your body and in this case with your hair is FASTING. Giving your hair a break and giving your body a break will allow it to reset and do what it is naturally supposed to do. Whether it's monofasting, duofasting or triofasting (monofasting = applying/eating one substance to your stomach or hair, etc), keeping it extra simple allows your body/hair to rest and only function for the purpose of consuming 3 or less things and HEALING in between. Once you get everything on track and your body/hair has settled down and is back in alignment then you can build the body or hair that you want by incorporating Natural Quality FOODS for your body/hair. I have waist length sisterlocks. I know they are super manicured/structured compared to what Queen Yannie works with. I personally only wanted them for the grid. As far as upkeep, I wash every 3 or 4 months when I retighten. In between I actually put NOTHING on my hair. No oils or anything between washing/retightening I know this may be against what most people have been conditioned to think or do, but it works for me. My Washing regimen - a deep vitamin, mineral & oil conditioning diluted with distilled water and applied from a foam pump to minimize potential buildup let it sit for about 10 minutes, wash twice with a clarifying shampoo followed by an organic shampoo and rinse with ACV. I let my hair air dry or medium heat dry if I am short or time... I rarely if ever style my hair... I have super course thick hair, each strand is nearly flat like a ribbon which creates the super tight coils in c or z formation.

Let me tell you..having a high top has its upsides and downsides . The upside is versatility , when I want to look rasta - I let them hang . When I want to look clean cut and I have a fresh fade - I tie them up. The downside is if you don't know how to cut your own hair - you're left visiting the barber every 1 or two weeks.

I notice it also depends on your hair type. Sometimes the hair grows away and without maintenance the hair sheds and the loc can thin. But... For some it isn't an issue and freeforming is a good option. For me I do what works and my hair is growing and full after washing and retwisting as needed.

I don't understand the point of growing locs only to pay someone else to maintain them. I personally feel locs are supposed to be a rebellion against conformity . Everyone should feel a sense of achievement , pride and appreciation of one's true self. Paying someone to style or tidy up your hair by pulling at your roots every few weeks seems contrary to the whole purpose . Going natural is supposed to be much cheaper, healthier , and save more time. When it gets to the point you're spending more money on your head than when you went to the salon/barber - you're doing it wrong. Especially if you're losing hair !

@@magiccarpet6230 Actually yes it is an act of rebellion. Maybe you're not in the US but here in the states locs and natural black hair are only partially accepted within our own community and it certainly isn't the norm outside of it. There are still many black american women today who are conditioned to think its more attractive and more acceptable to spend hundreds If not thousands on volatile chemicals and/or wigs for their heads . Then there is seeking employment in america. Let's be real - arriving to an interview for a decent job looking like Bob Marley instead of Will Smith is a gamble. My comment regarding rebels against conformity had nothing to do with how long locs have existed. It's knowing you will be judged by society due to the stigma behind locs that still exist in the US today and moving forward regardless.

I got my starters and got them retwisted once by the same person. He twisted them tight and used some kind of butters, so at my scalp they felt like little nobs when I laid down and it was irritating because I have a really sensitive scalp and it was hard to get to sleep at night. The one time I went to him to retwist my hair, he insisted that I come every what... 4 weeks? because my hair was matted at the root and he was focusing on giving me perfect squares again and ripped through my hair so much I felt like a traumatized kid with my mom doing my hair again. I still struggle with an itchy scalp, although it's not as bad as it was last year, and just getting used to figuring out what works best for my hair, but I'm getting there. I'm getting fuzzy and I'm gonna take Yannie's advice about not over washing and avoid over twisting, since she's proven through her clients that what she knows works *well*.

Shalom to the elders! My locks are almost 2yrs old, and get negative comments from other about not keeping my roots twisted. I’m now combining my locks💗💗💗 and now only use shampoo and oils!!!

I retwist 3 times a year and have 4 months between each session which give me a good 1.25 inches of new growth since my hair hate locking nature and need to look somewhat presentable for my job. So far I've had no problems doing it this way

My first set of locs were trial & error I did everything from dying to always retwisting & styles straining my hair. Now I’m on my 2nd set & When I started them I got retwisted once a month until I hit 1 year then it was once every 2 months until 2 years then once every 3 months until I hit 3 years then I combined them like two strands & once I hit 4 years which I’m at now I don’t do retwists anymore I wait every 4-6 months and do the rubber band method now I have thick beautiful locs that everyone always compliments asking how I did them & I now only have 38 locs when I started with 152

Free form for me. I do no twisting of any kind. Wash my hair with hot water and seal with cold. Sometimes I spray 50/50 brags apple cider vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes and rinse. That it

Mrs. Yannie, is is bad to wear headbands all the time? Or bands in your hair? If you feel like your hair is thinner, but you wear headbands....could that be the issue? I bought those headbands from Wal-Mart. The thin ones and the cotton like ones.

That’s why I tell my stylist not to retwist after washing & conditioning. I wait at least three months before getting it twisted. But it sounds like I need to wait longer.

I'm experiencing this currently, I went 9 months without retwisting my hair after the first year of growing them out. The 9 months led into my second year approximately which is current day. After the 9 months of letting my locs grow out naturally I retwisted my hair 2-3 times within 2 months apart from each other and have a few locs thining at the root like the gentlemen in the video. Thankfully my locs arent that long, they are still above my jaw line so I dont need to worry about the weight causing my locs to fall out. The root is so thin any tugging can cause it to easily rip tho, so now I'm back to letting it grow naturally to fix the problem.

I get irritated when my locs are not neat.. Based on my job they are already trying to ban locs in certain places so dont give them a reason to actually do it. But i get my hair retwisted every 6 to 8 weeks..

I've had locs for 10 years now and they're down to my waist. Only a handful of times has somebody else maintained mine. I usually tighten them up every 4-6 months. Just whenever I feel the need. They're still pretty thick and healthy. I'm still learning new stuff about keeping them that way though.

I retwist every 3months and I notice a weird thing. The more I wait before retwist the more my root become thin because all my hair at the roots go out from my dread. I don't know what to do, and I don't want to retwist more often. Do you have an advice?

Thank you so much for posting this video I just started my Locs about 2 months ago. Don't want this to be me in the future because sometimes I do damage my hair from too much twisting and washing. Locs dont need to be neat all the time. I wont be so anxious to twist now when it gets frizzy.

I think it's a Black American thing.America has so many Black hair care stylist and they're missing out on money for retwisting and hair products.The stylist don't want people, especially women,to go free form and natural,that leads to reduced income for them and the industry.
