I never wore a shower cap and did water rinses every other day during the first month of my locs and my hair is now locd. The two strand twist pattern is almost nonexistent as well and it’s been 2 months. 4c hair loves water and it helps it loc much faster!
Yessss, Nya!!! You’re so right 🙌🏾💕 what were your water rinses?!? Did you completely submerge your hair in water or did you do more like a mist? I might try those every now and then between washes! Love the idea 😍
Alexis Harris Alexis Harris I just did water rinses in the shower by dunking my head under the water and letting my hair and scalp get completely saturated. Sometimes my hair didn’t need a wash with shampoo, just a rinse!
❤ Thank you for sharing your journey. I’ve watched many videos on locs and I’m ready to moved forward with my DIY two strand twist which I plan to also interlock. It is my 65th BD on the 28th of February and it is my goal to start a week before. I’m grateful to you and others for the encouragement. 🌹
Started with 2 strand twist November 30, 2019. My youngest daughter wanted them as well. She started her journey December 2019. We are both loving our loc journeys! 🤗
I really don't understand the aviod water for months thing, um when i washed my loose hair it was sooo tangled 🤦♀️ why wouldn't i apply that to help it loc up?
Details! You gave ALLL the details. Lol but honestly, you were so spot on when you mentioned how our loose natural hair reacted to water. It is so interesting to be on this journey and essentially re-learn my hair. Basically, I do the opposite of what I learned from my loose natural days. I’m loving it so far.
I absolutely love your videos and your locs!! I have 4c hair also and while doing research I wanted to follow someone with the same hair type. Then I found you 😊 My journey started exactly one week ago on February 4, 2023. I started thinking about locing my hair back in December, did research in January and jumped right in. I’ve always loved the way locs look and I’ve been looking for a way to embrace my hair since going natural 9 years ago. I truly believe locs are the answer. I’m not a product junkie but I gathered the ones I had and got rid of them. Why? My locs won’t need them. I’m fully committed to my journey and excited for it. Thank you for sharing the way you do…even years later!!
Hi beautiful. Thanks for the tips. Yes water in your hair and body keeps your hair and skin looking healthy. Your skin is flawless. What is your skin routine? Be aware that lint and frizz are issues that you will have to deal with during your loc journey. It is absolutely essential to find an oil or moisturizer that your hair "likes" in order to lessen the frizz. Find your core products and maintain your shampoo and conditioner schedule. Less is more when you have locs. Our locs are like a magnet for anything in the atmosphere. Keep the videos coming. I'm so proud of you Alexis!
Hello gorgeous!!! Loved loved LOVED reading your comment. So many helpful tips in there and your hair looks beautiful!!! Thanks for the compliments 😍 I’m with you 100000% when you say WATER keeps your hair and skin healthy. Maybe I’ll film my skincare routine one day! I wash my face with cream in the shower, then apply a toner, and mist with rose water before adding a hydrating face cream 😍😊 for me, it’s all about keeping skin clean and hydrated. Sending hugs!!!!
Today is day 2 of my second loc journey, my last journey lasted 6 months and I took them out because I wasn’t happy with the parting system I went with. It’s funny how I’ve done months and months of research on locs but I feel like a beginner again lol thanks for this video really helped !!
I’m so happy you decided to start a new set of locs since you weren’t completely happy with the first set. I think sometimes we forget that we can start over if we want to so that’s such a great reminder!!! Thanks so much for being here and sharing your story. I’m so happy this video helped 😍😍😍
@@AlexisHarris exactly! My mom was horrified when I combed them out because I lost so much hair but I was like “it’s just hair it will grow back” lol thanks so much for replying, new subbie 💕
I started my loc journey August 20, 2023 and my son wanted to start his after I got mine. He’s embracing my loc journey and we’re definitely loving our loc journey together!
Hello Alexis, I don’t usually comment but I just want to say thanks for the content you post : I started my loc journey 2 weeks now and find your channel to be very helpful, thanks for the updates and encouragement. It is refreshing to see someone who is also in the “new phase”. Informative tips, thanks again. Quick question: do you use water and oil each day or only when needed?
Hi, lovely lady!!! Thank you so much for taking time to leave some love 💗 it really brightened my day! Congratulations on your new journey!!! I’m excited for you. I use water and oil pretty much every day (I think I’ve only skipped maybe one day - when my scalp didn’t feel like it needed to be oiled). I also use grease instead of oil if my scalp is really feeling dry! So it just depends, but so far I’ve been hydrating (lightly) daily 😊💗
Your tips are always the best! I started my loc journey July 3 so I am not too far behind you. My hair texture and pattern is the same as yours. I will start showering without my shower cap and see how that works for me.
Hello beautiful woman!!! Awww thanks so much for your comment. You made my day!!! Congratulations on your new journey 😍🥳 you started on my oldest brother’s birthday!!! Sending you lots of love 💗
My cousin put my two strands in yesterday evening. I love them, I’m excited for my new journey! I constantly have the urge to play with them. Any advice?
I'm 2 days in and this was really helpful to know! My location told me not to wash my hair for the next 6 to 8 weeks but that didn't sound right to me.
Hi, Alli!!! Thanks so much for sending some love and light my way 😊💗 you should definitely start your loc journey!!! I wore two strand twists for 4-5 years before I even considered locs and I’m mad it took me so long!!! Lol you’ll love being loc’d 💗💗💗
Thank you so much for answering the one question I’m always looking to be answered “do i retwist the locs that unravel “ my hair type always unravel once it gets wet so THANK YOU FOR answering ❤️
The first time I started my locs I had loc extensions n my hair grew into it, that was 8 years ago I cut it off two years ago n I’m now starting from the beginning lol and I’m enjoying this journey now then the instant way lol I’m learning and loving my hair
@@AlexisHarris it took about a year for it to fully grow into the extension but I would never do it again lol I don’t knock anyone’s hair journey but mine taught me to love my own hair and respect what my body can produce.
Awww, welcome to the community!!!! So happy you’re here. Thanks for leaving some love ❤️ congratulations on this loc journey! Keep me posted and let me know if you have questions along the way!!!
Awwww!!! Well my mission is accomplished. So happy you found some of my videos useful 😍😊 and I am so excited for you! Please let me know how your locs turn out. You’re in for an exciting adventure!!! Thanks so much beautiful!!!
Hello I’m celebrating my 6 months locs period as of August 21, this is a good subject. I have had my locs washed and re twisted once and re twisted twice I’m waiting till September to get a second washing cause they were not yet locked. So I’m waiting to see my hair lock faster but I’m being patience
Just found your channel today, I'm so glad I did. You are so pleasant and easy to listen to! I'm started my loc journey today! I did 2 strand twists as well! 🥰🥰🥰
Hey beautiful!!! 😍😍😍 awww I’m soooo happy you’re here. Thanks so much for taking time to send some love my way. Congratulations on your new journey. I know you just started today but how many locs do you have?! I’m sure they’re FABULOUS!!! 💗💗💗
So my boyfriend started his locs a little over 2 weeks ago and the stylist told him not to wash it for two months and not to spray it or anything She will wash it when it’s time for his first retwist I don’t agree with it 100% because i know his scalp and it gets real itch and he has dandruff What do you think?
Hey Rozlyn! Great question. I’m a firm believer that we have to take care of our hair and scalp and clean it when it’s dirty or itchy or irritated! Since it’s so early in his journey, he may choose to cleanse the scalp a different way (maybe with a damp cloth) instead of submerging his full head of hair in water. My first wash and retwist was at 4 weeks and I’m just fine 😊💕🙏🏾 hope this helps!!!! Keep me posted
New subbie. Thank you for your informative videos. I recently started my loc journey with 2 strand twist. It will be 2 weeks this Friday. I'm seeing changes to my 4c texture already. Not locking yet, but looking forward to this journey.
I have been looking all over the internet/CZcams for help with my 4c starter locs. Everyone’s journey is always so different! Your hair looks great, I just watched your vid on bunching too. I’m only 2 weeks in and my hair has started budding all over, in the top and middle of the new locs. I can’t find anywhere if this is normal?? I do all the things you just mentioned so maybe that’s why?
Hey beautiful! Thanks for tuning in 😊💕 everyone’s journey is different so there really is no “normal.” I’ve learned to just roll with the punches and listen to my hair. Sounds like your hair isn’t having any problems loc’ing!!! I love it
Hey girl!!! Still here following you every step of the way😊. I am suffering from loc unraveling. I had my retwist a few days ago and ofcoz l spritz with water. This makes my locs unravel so badly. I would like to wait 5 weeks before retwisting but at this rate l cant, l really can't deal. Any advice? Should l just go ahead and retwist?
Hey beautiful!!! So glad you’re still hanging in there with me and checking out these videos 😍😊 THANK YOU! I’d definitely say retwist any locs that unravel because the longer you wait, the longer it’ll take for that loc to catch up with the others (at least in my mind lol). I’m no expert though, so do what feels right to you! I waited weeks to comb out and retwist the three of mine that unraveled... and, looking back, I should have retwisted them sooner. Once I retwisted them, they stayed perfectly in place like the rest of my locs 😍 so I don’t know why I waited so long lol
Thank you for your response. I guess it's trial and error, we will try different ways until we get it right. I'm definitely taking your advice on this one.🌹
I’m curious to know how you retwist two strand locs? Is it just palm rolling or actually twisting at the root? I’m looking to start my locs soon and trying to see which method is best.
Hey beautiful! If they’re unraveling (like not loc-ing), I recommend retwisting from the root. But if they’re maintaining their consistency but the freshly retwisted look isn’t looking so fresh anymore, you can palm roll. I have a video on how to retwist and you can see my loctician do my full head of locs 💕
Well you are right Alexis in the beginning I shampooed my locs which I started with braids every two weeks I interlocked them once a month my 4c hair loc’d very fast of course the braids would unravel on the ends just rebraided them I think the interlocking what loc’d my hair mostly
Hey, Fatima! Thanks so much for sharing elements of your journey with the community 💗💗💗 were you nervous to wash your locs every two weeks in the beginning?? I think I want to start washing every two weeks honestly!
Alexis Harris kinda especially when they kept unraveling but I just kept redoing them after about 3 months they were long enough to put elastic bands on the ends i was surprised my hair was loc’d in as little as 7 months because everyone on CZcams keep saying braids take the longest to lock like I said I credit that to the once month interlocking I was doing which I have extended to every 6 to 8 weeks now oh I wore the bands on the ends during washing for about 4 months
New to your page. 2 months in and how do I maintain my locs i can tell they are locin but they are dry now I was told not to wet my hair so what the real deal
Ok so I started my locs May 10, 2020 I’m currently 6 months in I stared wit 2 strand twist btw and my hair seems to loc fine but the ending is just taking forever to bud any tips to make my ends bud really would appreciate the advice 💯🙏🏽🙏🏽
Congratulations on 6 months loc’d!!! 😍😊🥳👏🏾 super excited for you. No idea how to make the ends seal faster. I’ve always heard the ends are the last to fully loc. I’ll keep my eyes and ears open for any insights!!!
Hey love! It definitely will still loc. Most people end up cutting off the extensions when their real hair grows longer. He will be just fine! Super excited for him 💖
Oh okay! Great, I’ve heard that before! Haven’t been to a beach all summer long though. But I’ve heard about salt water from the beach working well for some people 💗😊 thanks for this!!!
Im just so excited that so many people are now considering or getting locs. We are family😊May we stay loc'd👍🏾
Yes!!! Wishing everyone a happy loc journey 😊💗🥳
Yes a lot of ppl I know including a cousin of mine are starting locs now. I just started 9/21/20. It makes me happy😊
@@deljean Yes, plus we're saving coins☺
i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to stream new movies online?

Alexis Harris kinda especially when they kept unraveling but I just kept redoing them after about 3 months they were long enough to put elastic bands on the ends i was surprised my hair was loc’d in as little as 7 months because everyone on CZcams keep saying braids take the longest to lock like I said I credit that to the once month interlocking I was doing which I have extended to every 6 to 8 weeks now oh I wore the bands on the ends during washing for about 4 months
Got it!!! I’ll use rubber bands to keep the ends together while washing them 💗🙌🏾 thanks so much for the tips!!!! Soooo helpful. Wish me luck lol
Alexis Harris good luck don’t wrap the rubber bands more then 3 times have to be able to get them out once done washing
Just showing some 💕💕
Awww!!! Means more than you know 😍😊💕🥳 thanks so much!!!!
New here Just started my 2 strand twist maybe 3 weeks ago is my head supposed to itch this bad lol
So can I wet my hair up without it getting untwisted?
Love your locs! Started my loc journey 7.23.20 with two strand twist.
Thanks so much and congratulations to you on this new experience!!!! 😍😍👏🏾👏🏾
Your welcome !! Thank you as well !
Ty for the helpful tips 🙏🙏
Thank you so much for being here! I’m so glad you found this video helpful 💖🙏🏾
👍enjoyed the video
Hi, I just started my journey this week and I just want to know how long do I have to keep the hairstyle because I have my hair pinned up
I've been locked for about 3 months and I really see no progress in my two strand twists except new growth. I'm 4c
I agree that water is your best friend...ladies please wash your hair...
Yes!!!! Water water water 🚿 just washed my locs today!!! Will release that video soon 🙌🏾💗
When you're in the beginning stages, when should i first watch it ?
Great question! I’d wait at least 4 weeks. I washed mine after one month 😊💕
@@AlexisHarris thank you !! 🤗
New to your page. 2 months in and how do I maintain my locs i can tell they are locin but they are dry now I was told not to wet my hair so what the real deal
Ok so I started my locs May 10, 2020 I’m currently 6 months in I stared wit 2 strand twist btw and my hair seems to loc fine but the ending is just taking forever to bud any tips to make my ends bud really would appreciate the advice 💯🙏🏽🙏🏽
Congratulations on 6 months loc’d!!! 😍😊🥳👏🏾 super excited for you. No idea how to make the ends seal faster. I’ve always heard the ends are the last to fully loc. I’ll keep my eyes and ears open for any insights!!!
I don’t know my hair type just have really curly hair can I still water in the beginning stage
Rose oil water where do you find it
I usually get mine from Walmart and Amazon 💕
My bf used extensions to do his two strand twist becsuse his hair was pretty short
Will it still locc up with extentions?
Hey love! It definitely will still loc. Most people end up cutting off the extensions when their real hair grows longer. He will be just fine! Super excited for him 💖
❤️
Sending my love 🥰
You’re the best 😍😊😘
I got two strand twist and hoping to them to loc
It will definitely loc, keep me updated! Happy loc journey
Love It 💕
Awww, thanks so much beautiful 😊💕
@@AlexisHarris I’m Excited.. I’m Going On 4 Months With My Locs 😃🥰
Where can you purchase rose water from and do you dilate with water
Hey Toya! Great question. I buy rose water from Walmart and sometimes I order it from Amazon. I don’t dilute it 💖
@@AlexisHarris ty
Your dreads so 😍🦋😘😍😘
Salt water will also help you loc faster like at the beach...
Oh okay! Great, I’ve heard that before! Haven’t been to a beach all summer long though. But I’ve heard about salt water from the beach working well for some people 💗😊 thanks for this!!!
So helpful!
Awww yay!!! 💖 thanks for the positive feedback

Great question! I filmed my loc count and you can watch it here: czcams.com/video/2exse-J-ES0/video.html
