    I have 3b/c and 4a hair type. I have always loc my hair. This style seems to work better for my hair type. I learn that my hair needs to be left along. I am now on my 4th journey and starting over again because my hair has turned gray and I refused to color. I just can’t believe that people are saying that certain hair type can’t loc. it doesn’t matter whether it’s fine, thin or whatever, you just have to be patience, and don’t used a whole lot of products and your locs will thicken up. I only used coconut oil once a week, and spritz with water everyday because I live in a hot climate.

    Hi Alexis. Your mom's hair is beautiful. I have thyroid disease and my hair is thin at the top. Like your mom, I made my locs smaller at my crown to make them look fuller. I've had to combine some because the parts would not withstand the shedding. I'm learning more about my locs and what they need as my hair grows. Your mom doesn't have much shrinkage so I don't think she has 4c hair. Coily girls like me deal with a lot of shrinkage lol. I love her singing. Thanks for introducing us to your beautiful family.

    I love this video. People tend to get thin and fine mixed up, just like they do with thick and coarse. Thin and fine are two different things. Thin hair is the amount of hair on one's head, the density just like thick hair is the amount of hair on one's head. Thick hair has more hair. Fine is the hair texture, the way it feels just like coarse is a texture. Fine is a softer texture than coarse texture. My hair is a fine texture, but it's more of a medium density. It's not thin or thick.

    Your loc journey is like a spiritual journey.
    Learning to love yourself regardless of what is on the outside is sometimes hard .. thankfully I have someone who encouraged me to cut my hair when I didn't like how my hair was behaving (I've been natural 6 yrs but I cut off my hair every 2. Braids kept thinning my edges even though I did them and they're never tight.. idk) to then encourage me to get my locs started when I was back and forth on whether to relax.
    I'm excited to see where my hair goes. It's only been growing for 4 months and I did my starter locs on the 5th. Took out a few today and resized them. I feel better with the size now.. I'm scared and excited lol.

    Loved this. I’m new here and contemplating how I’m going to start my locs BECAUSE I have hair similar on texture to your mom’s. It’s coily (and more s coils) and fine but finer and less dense in the front… I was going to start my own micro locs as a result, but don’t want the front locs to be too weak.
    Anyways, I love this and I think your videos confirmed for me that seeing a loctician for a consult may be best at least to determine how I should start my locs.

    LMBO...Classic! Looks really good! Wow! Thanks for sharing...Oh yea, question: I havent had any chemicals (perm) on my hair for one year. Is it necessary to have it cut to the new growth before I can consider locs?

    • @AlexisHarris
      @AlexisHarris  Před 3 lety

      Hey auntie! 😂😍 lol ma is so silly!!! Great question. Cutting to the new growth isn’t necessary. Ma didn’t cut her straight ends. I can say natural coily/curly hair may loc faster than straight strands. But I think cutting to the new growth is more of a preference! 💗😊🥳

    Your mom's hair is beautiful Alexis. She and I pretty much have the same texture/ density hair, curls at the end and nuff frizz. I think mine is 3c/ 4a. I started with braidlocs. Part braid, part two strand twist. I interlocked at the root because from past experience with full twists I knew my hair wouldn't keep. True to form even the braidlocs would unravel when I wash. I found out the braidlocs would take longer to loc so I opened them up. I changed to two strand twist to encourage thicker locs and faster locking. I'm now almost 3 months loc'ed and some( the ones at the crown and nape) are still loose hair but I'm still trying to get them loc'ed. Any suggestions?

    • @AlexisHarris
      @AlexisHarris  Před 3 lety

      Thank you so much for being here and sharing your story with me!!! Have you tried to do a hybrid around those areas that aren’t loc’ing yet? Maybe try a braid at the root and a twist down the remainder of the loc strand. I’ve heard that as a successful way to reduce unraveling 😍 I hope it helps!!! Please keep me updated :)

    • @caliciajames1252
      @caliciajames1252 Před 3 lety +1

      @@AlexisHarris Yes, I have tried that. Absolutely nothing works. I'm past 4 months now and still struggling with those areas. I think the only thing that might work is using a crochet needle to instaloc. So far I've tried the hybrid method you mentioned, full braid down, interlocking at the root w/ four point rotation. Also tried full two strand twist, comb coils, finger coils, even tried using a loc product for hair that's resistant to loc'ing. They unravel with my daily hydration routine. Rest of my hair is coming along beautifully though so that's a plus😊

      @@caliciajames1252 I have had the same issue! I have locd my hair twice now and tried all the things you have. I think you might need to just leave those bits that refuse to loc up alone 🤷🏾‍♀️ in time they may agree to loc but I think I might have to embrace the nape and edges never locing

      @AlexisHarris  Před 3 lety

      Hey, Stacy! Thanks for being here 😊💕 your hair sounds like it’ll give you a very exciting loc journey!!! I think plaits/braids may be your best approach because it sounds like twists or coils may unravel too frequently. But since you said your hair knots easily, it may not matter which method you choose! Keep me posted 🥳

    My hair is really thin especially in the top. It’s a little thicker in the back so I did my locks. The top is a little thin, but I take it to account that I lose between 50 and 100 strands of hair a day not to worry because at the same time you’re losing hair your generating new growth so just imagine all the hair that you’re not losing it’s going back into the lock, so it’s gonna thicken up because you’re not combing you’re not brushing it it’s just going back into The so not to worry just let it do it don’t twist too much and it’ll be fine
