How many locs do you have
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 đžđđœđŒ
surrected4526 thanks for the info

Kimberly Keemer Thank you!! Yayy thatâs awesome! You wonât be disappointed đđŸ
I can't believe it's been a whole year since I first watched this video contemplating whether or not to get sisterlocks. Now, Im in process of creating my own 1 year video! You are truly inspiring and I am so happy I came across your page a year ago!
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.
June Williams Aww thank you!! I hope youâre enjoying your journeyđ
Congratulations! your hair is so beautiful Lavenia.
Locâd Dree Thank you!!
Congrats! I know how you feel I couldnât wait to hit my 1 year mark with my Sisterlocks. Funny after I hit that I didnât even think about it anymore. Iâm 19 months in now and like you Iâm delighted with my Sisterlocks. My locks have grown like crazy. I took the retight class and Iâve done my own for about 3 months now but like you Iâve decided for at least the next 3-4 retights Iâm gonna go back to my consultant. Itâs good to know how to do your own but nothing like having a pro do it.
Msdeev1 H Thank you!! Completely agree. Itâs empowering knowing how to do it myself but I too will probably be making the trip to Philly for the next couple of months.
your hair is beautiful!
Lots of growth! Very nice
Wow sis happy locaversary!!!! It's crazy I have been following your journey since day 1 and that time has flown by so fast !!!! Your hair has grown alot its beautiful đđđ. Congrats on hitting 1k as well thats awesome!!!

Crushing on your hair! Beautiful Iâm 8 months in canât wait for my 1year mark..I plan on visiting the Coliseum in the near future just to say hello when Iâm in the area. Your hair is GORGEOUS!!!!
Larraine Smith Thank you!! 4 more months for you! Theyâll love to see you!
Congrats on 1k subbies and with your SL's that have grown so much. They are so nice and full.
Margaret Davis Thank you!! Sharing my journey has been a lot of fun! More to come!
Ahh! Happy locaversary! Your hair looked beautiful from day 1! I'm six months behind you so this really gives me something to look forward to. So happy for you and congrats on 1K as well! Much love :)
Kyra Abernathy Thank you & thank you!! Iâm a new subbie btwđ€©
Beautiful!!! Congrats on Yr 1!! Loved the shout out to my girls at beauty coliseum. I love them both. And shout out to you for your channel. I stressed over finding a capable consultant in the Philadelphia area then stumbled upon you! About 2 wks after watching your videos last July, mine were established. I've been in heaven ever since!
CarrieToo Thank you!! Yayy!! Yes theyâre awesome. Thank you for your continued supportđ€
Aww, thatâs fantastic!!
Awheee so beautiful you and your hair great video
Congrats!! đđđđŸ!! 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. Iâm trying it on my son tonight.
Oonagh72 Thank you!! Iâve never heard of using sugar! Iâll have to look into that. How did it work out on your son?
lavenialivinglife Here is one of the articles I read www.thisisinsider.com/add-sugar-to-shampoo-soft-hair-2017-3. I canât testify if it helped his flakes because he doesnât like for me to wash his hair (heâs 16) so he was rushing me. However his hair was a lot softer and felt less stripped after using dandruff shampoo.
Congratulations Lavenia!! đđđđŸđđœ
Jackie Brown Thank you!!đ€
Use Aloe the plant cut a piece off use on scalp leave on ur scalp for about and hour wash hair as normal will get rid of dandruff try to keep scalp moist with oil products I use carrot serum for hair
Thanks for the progression... I'm always curious about the before...
CONGRATULATIONS AND HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Your hair has and continues to progress beautifully!
And my apologies for being so late. Life has just calmed down for me, so I've been binge watching all my favorite vloggers' videos.
p31diva Thank you!! Iâm a fav??!!đđ No no, donât apologize! Real life trumps all social media if you ask meâ€ïžđđŸ Congrats again on the half marathon!!

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!
KurlyMD Yes!! I highly recommend them!
Congrats on your 1 year anniversary. Today is my 1 year anniversary. Love from the Caribbean.
Emmica Thompson From the Caribbean! Happy One Year to you!!
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 đ. 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)
Sisterlock'd N' Free Thank you!! Oh yeah!! I think Iâll try their dandruff shampoo first then. I forgot about that. Thank you for sharing your routine!
You're welcome. Follow me back on IG @mommy.mogul I was thinking on starting my own youtube channel
Sisterlock'd N' Free You should! Iâm having a lot of fun! Plus itâs a cool community especially for sisterlocksđđŸ
Congrats on your 1 year of having your sisterlocks. I'm on 1 year and 7 months going for mine ^_^ by this July it will be 2 years since I had my hair sisterlocked hopefully it will be mid length by the end of this year.
Patti-Joe Wright Thank you!! Thatâs exciting! Happy early 2 years to you!
Thank you so Much!! :D
Simone tightened my hair 2 months ago and she's quick!!
Gorgeous locs
I know thatâs right...Godâs blessings!
Wow beautiful! I live in California but I'm m willing to fly to Philly just to have my sister locs done.
Theyâd love thatđ
Great subject - maybe some people donât 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.
I just googled almocado shampoo. I'm torn now between this and Dr. Locs. Any negatives with almocado??
Very nice video. Iâm getting Sisterlocks next month and Iâm very excited! Thanks for sharing your journey!đ„°
Youâre locks are beautiful!!!
What city,state did you get them done? Iâm in Texas.. so Iâm just curious.,
Enjoy your journey!!!
Love it
My install is tomorrow! đ
Arian Hull Exciting!! I hope you love them!
What size locs did you start off with? Your locs are Gorgeous..
Yaaaaaaayyy!!!!!
Phoenicia Cloud đđđđ !! Time flies!!
My installation apt is in 2 weeks!! So excited and canât wait!! How long was your natural hair just before your install?
Sandra Chivandire Thatâs exciting!! My natural hair was 11 inches max before install.
Beautifulđ
Faithlove prophetess Love Thank you!!đ€
Funny, when they were 1st installed, it looked like a lot of the ends had left out. However, now it doesn't.
Your locks look so nice. Iâm trying to get my locks started I just need to find someone to do them too bad I no longer live in Philly.
Shari's Spot Thank you! Hopefully youâll be able to find someone listed on the Sisterlocks website. Gorg photo btwđ
Congrats! I just uploaded my 1 year too. :)
Essence of Me Thank you!! Happy One Year to you!! Iâll go check you outđđŸ
hair rinses made of rosemary, sage and nettle will check dandruff and does not leave build-up
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.
I'm in the Philadelphia area I might check them out
Your consultant sounds Jamaican...your hair looks great. I'm 4 days into lock journey. I'm enjoying so far
doneth reid Thank you! Great! Itâs a journey of patience đđŸ
Beautiful hair. I see you love them feather wood earrings lol :-)
Congrats! N my sentiments exactly for âGodâs blessings for my retighteningâ đđđAment! đđŸââïž
Kecia Richardson Haha thank you!!đ€
Hi have a question im thinking about sista locs. I've had tradital locks for 17 years. My question is do u have a lot of breakage? And how is the styling
Iâm in nyc but willing to drive there to do my hair cuz ur hair is beautiful. My hair the as short as your hair when u started. How much do they charge for start ups
Looks "Bee You Tea Full". How often should you get them retighten?
I Love it I'm going to get some a little afraid
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.
I just got my Sis locks 2 days ago and my hair are very dry can I Ur I on my hair this earl in my locks
Beautiful! Do you have a 3 or 4 point rotation?
when did you start washing @ home & what was the process & products? do you have a video on banding? and how did you learn how to retighten (videos, stylist ). I'm about 2 months in & having some difficulty with itchy scalp/dandruff & dryness. i have a 2nd retwist scheduled in a couple of weeks unsure if she will wash again or not. inquiring about cleaning/maintain process in between appts. I'm also planning to move out of state in a couple of weeks so will have to get readjusted. I'm currently not using any product except witch hazel to esse the itch - helps slightly.
*cracks knuckles*
-I washed my hair at home right before my first reti. It was still really cold when I got my locs installed so not a lot of sweating going on or anything like that.
-I do have an older video on braiding and banding but I do the same thing today. Here ya go: czcams.com/video/w-FPWoinY9I/video.html
-I learned to retighten my locs by watching a lot of youtube and reading a couple of articles. I pretty much searched "Sisterlock self reti" and everything was there. I also got my rotation info from my consultant and got her blessing before attempting on my own.
-I combatted my itchiness in the beginning with a few drops of peppermint oil. Be careful though if you go this route. I'd also let your consultant know about your dry scalp. I'm sure she'll have a better solution for youđđŸ
-When my scalp became unbearable between retis, I just washed it. I think I turned out ok but ask your consultant on what you should do!đ
-I haven't heard of witch hazel for itchy scalp! I'll have to look into this
Super long (& late) response but I hope this helps!!
lavenialivinglife thank you so much.
Seabeeze in your rose water helps with dry flaky scalp
So what's the verdict? Did you do great when you were retightening or notđ€. I don't recall you saying it out maybe I missed it but it looks great. My 2 yr locversary coming up June 24, 2018 but I don't have to braid & brand since my last reti but Imma do it anyway, lol.
mrsteacake She said everything looked great which is a relief! Happy early 2 years to you! Yeah Iâm a little nervous to stop the b&b. Iâll probably keep doing it for a while.
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?
4 point. I donât recall exactly but maybe 6-8 months in.
If you donât mind me asking what length did you start with.
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!!!!
Cee Tee Thank you!! Happy early locaversary to you!! Iâve experienced discomfort before with retis but not that bad. Come to think of it, this most recent one didnât hurt at all.
How many inches was your hair when you started?
