Everything she is saying is 100% true. I find when I wash my hair once a week it feels lighter and more fluffy and it’s fuller. If I go more than 2 weeks- cuz ya know life is life-ing- my hair feels flat scratchy and it just looks lifeless. So I try to wash my hair at least 2-3 x per month. Also a tip is to dilute your shampoo with distilled water even if it’s low suds because even rinsing for 20 min or more you can have shampoos residue in your hair. I wet my hair first then use a spray bottle to shampoo my roots first and then let the shampoo run down the length of my locs to get those clean.putting undiluted shampoo on your lots - you will never be able to rinse it out completely. As far as rety- for me waiting too long will result in breakage because just moving your hair around will distress those little hairs that are at the root. Now I have gone up to 3 months of not retightening my hair and I have regretted it as you have to be very meticulous about how you rety- mainly to make sure you don’t leave holes in your locs. Plus I feel just doing one or two turns on your roots after a month or 6 weeks is better than having to do a lot of separating and multiple turns after months. I have also noticed too that it depends on the hair texture my texture is somewhat loose and if there is a lot of loose hair at the roots it tangles and invariably it will break. I do my own retys but I’ve been locd since 2008 and I’ve learned a lot lessons lol
I have fine, low-density hair and my sisterlocks are thriving. Thanks for this video. I absolutely love it!
You are so right about doing what is right for YOUR hair. I have followed this advice from the beginning of my Sisterlock journey. Thank you for giving me that advice.
Thank you for sharing. I starting my journey and this video was super informative and helpful 🤎
Thank you because I’m trying to find out because I’m wanting to get the micro locs so glad I came across your channel
plucked chicken😭😭😭…. I love your locs and encouraging energy. As a newly loc’d lady I’m super excited and glad to be apart of the community. Thanks for the sound advice ❤️
Your locs are so gorgeous 😍
This is hands down the BEST hair care video I’ve seen so far👍🏾
On the subject of oil, there’s no one size fits all… I’m 3c curly so it “appears” like I have more, but it’s low density… I need oil, I use oil… I’m spreading the retwist further apart, the goal is 4 times a year. I’m also pushing a 3 week wash schedule, I refreshen my hair with a cloth I saturate with with hazel in between washes… I’m 8 months into the loc journey; so far, it appears to be doing well and getting fuller.
New subbie as of today✌🏾
This is so informative
Thank you! I’m one week in the journey and intuitive thought oil and water are essential. Walking slowly in this journey and paying attention.
You’re beautiful!
I am so glad that you showed me how to burn my fragrance bomb lol I love the smell❤
Yay!!
I'm grateful for the content you post.
Thank you Tai. I am grateful that you watch. I appreciate it.
I am 11 months into my start loc journey. I can’t wait until my locs mature. Currently I only retwist 5-6 weeks. But when they mature I’m going to try to extend to 8-10 weeks. I have small locs and took inspo from micro locs when I started them but I knew I didn’t want too many locs where I felt like it was a job bc I self maintain. I want to make sure I keep my locs strong and healthy. I’d hate to have thinning and breakage! My hair isn’t very thin but it can get weak and brittle. Thanks for the video!
Hi first I just want to say I really enjoyed your video and I appreciate all of your knowledge.
Thank you.
Second I have Fine low porosity 4A,3C hair. I can see my scalp, my locs look like they are thinning. Your tips have been very helpful and I’m going to implement your suggestions into my regimen.
Thank you for everything.
Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate your vote of confidence. I have 2 videos specifically on thinning! See if you can check them out as interventions. czcams.com/video/yti_ylPgF2A/video.htmlsi=cnc8b_UnC8XaOQ-Y

Would you please show us a picture of your starter locs?
February 5 2024 will be my 2 year sisterlock journey. Thank you for all the wealth of information on sisterlicks. I have fine liw density hair and my hair is retightened every 2 weeks.
You are so welcome! Please be mindful of 'so -frequent' a retightening. It can be hard to see at first the detrimental impact this will have on you longterm.
So glad you did this video. Can you talk about thin/ fine hair vs. Low density. I talk to some folks and some don't understand the difference. I have fine hair strands and I'm on the lower end of average density. In the sun sometimes you can see thru my hair, it's not dense. I use your oil (need to place another order for your oil cause I'm running low) and I see a improvement with my hair strength and thickness. Good things. My loctition always says my scalp looks real good. Love the channel 💚💚💚
I will, promise. Please text my phone so that I can get clarity. Reference thus text please. 678-438-6442
Thin is not synonymous with fine. Thin hair is thinning aka balding hair. Fine hair relates to the diameter of the individual strand being smaller than thicker strand diameter.
Fine hair is not thin hair.
Sistah you are absolutely stunning..btw i am so stuck inbetween getting sisterlocks or microlocs

As someone thinking about sisterloc and microloc everything I heard is refreshing!! I will apply all her knowledge of getting bigger microloc and going 10-12 weeks in between reties as my hair in thin around the edges and suggest to not tie to close to the scalp.
Please do!
I’m from London UK 🇬🇧 and a black Muslim sister. I just want to say I listen to your talk from the beginning to the end and l found it so uplifting inspirational and nothing but the truth! I have sister loc now just over 1 year now and l only regret l did not do it before. I feel you should have your own women’s Tv show ld be the first to subscribe to it. Keep up the good work. So much respect ✊ ❤

What shampoo should we use? Brand? Ingredients?
I am going to leave it now for much longer before the next tightening. It appears to be growing ok. Its just the frizz in the locs and roots so soon after tightening.
Where do I get the growth oils ? I’m just starting my loc journey myself and love yours
Hello Sister. Thank you. I make them from scratch with various blends focusing on overall health. My site is:
Iammelaninmagic.com
I am 1 month in my micro locks journey and it's been a journey already, I continue to have have slippage in the back of my head. I have thine/fine low destiny hair. My loctitian advised me not to put water or oil my hair or I'll continue to have this problem. My scalp is so itchy and dry :( I'm trying to trust this process.
My retie's are every 8 weeks
I love your content. My hair is low density and thin. This was very good advice. I am going to boost the days I use the magical hair growth serum and will let you know my results. I feel it has been effective so far.. it’s is taking a lot of patience on my part. Thanks so much for creating products that are organic and effective. It’s encouraging to know we have someone like you out there that believes in making organic quality products.
You are so wonderful and I appreciate you Cyn! Thank you!!
Are you balding? If so your hair is not thin, it is fine in diameter.
Our hair does not need oil when it is short. What we know about our hair generationally has led most black women to have short, slow growing, hair for CENTURIES as they chased a European sleekness and grease or oil helped straighten the hair.
This has been inculcated to the point that EVEN NOW as we embrace our natural hair we still hang onto paradigms instilled in us under colonial oppression.
Not all women are the same but the biggest pet peeve for many loctitians is the insistence of clients to use oil and then the upsetness of these same clients when their hair slips and their consultants start charging to correct that.
The number 2 failure in microlocks is thinking slippage is cute ( it often is at first) and not understanding when those cute loose ends leads to knots and bunching. Then they want it "fixed" and expect to pay the minimum for their actions.
This is one of the main reasons that over time I let over 80% of my clients go..I now only consult and repair but with bunching and slippage if the client keeps using oil and conditioner after repairs they are sent on their way. Waste of my time and their money.
I make more money advising than repairing because people do not want to pay to undo their exploits.
Occassionally people who have not yet fully locked want to get their locks taken out.
To do this, I start by soaking their hair in deep conditioner and oil..why? Because it causes massive slippage. After it is rinsed out and dried I use oil again to tease the lock apart. Oil causes slippage and attracts and holds dirt.
That is a fact no matter what else one thinks about oil use
Oil also softens hair and can help slow moisture loss. BUT oil cannot moisturize..that is a different process and action from oil which softens and coats/protects the scalp and hair enamel.
We have to be careful with touting use of products. For the first 5 years, my hair was shiny and soft/silky with not a drop of oil and other sisterlock wearers wanted to know what I used on my hair
Distilled water. Occasionally I put red thyme in my water or soaked mint leaves in water and used that. It is not what I used it is jow I treated my hair. I stroked my locks from scalp to root to tip. That is called preening
As I age I seem to produce less oils so I started using oils on my ends. I oil my scalp about 1x every 3 months.
I prefer no products. My hair is shiny, very long, supple and shines..but I do draw down the oil applied from root to tip. IT cannot go as far as my hair is long now.
After I do this, I wash it all out..BUT I use Tunisia's old super oily recipe for shampoo so I must say I still use oil.
But straight greasing my scalp and hair? Never and my hair is extremely healthy almost 9 years in Sisterlocks
Often it is not what we do or not do it is the way we do or not do that determines the condition of our hair.
OIL IS NOT A MOISTURIZER. Water is the only moisturizer...oils and conditioners aid in retention of water or slow release of water to slow evaporation.
I have very fine hair.
I have sisterlocks.
For the first 5 years of having SL I used no oil or conditioner. None. Not a dtop.
I watered my hair and did add herbs to my water ( red thyme, and mint and at times rose water)
My hair was glossier and silkier with no oil and cleaner rhan it has been since I started to oil my scalp.
I still do not oil my hair exceot the ends and about the last 10 inches.
So why did I return to using oil ?( I use it in my shampoo)
Because I am older now and seem to not produce enough sebum to run down the length of my locks which are below my butt.
So I augment by using oil in my shampoo then a tiny bit on my ends which are open coiled to this day.
I also no longer water daily or even weekly. I hate having a wet head in the winter and don't want a wet head at night or wet work clothes in the morning.
It is now so long that piling up on the head like Marge Simpson it gets lint from brushing the roof of my car.
We need to be careful that during our growth and learning we are not going forward but still pushing and fitting old paradigms in this new process.
So your recommendation is minimal to no oil on the scalp? I hadn’t heard of preening before, but it makes sense.
Your hair is beautiful. Not sure if you’ve shared… how many locs do you have?
587
I suffered alopecia approximately 10 years ago. My hair during that time was coming out in big patches. At one time my hair looked scanty and I started to see my scalp at the top centre of head.
Oh wow! Thank you for being willing to share this.
I don’t know where you are from but it’s as if God dropped an angel on to my phone screen. I have fine, thinning and low density hair in the crown of my head. I am strongly considering the Locke journey, but am unsure of which locks to get. More importantly, I am concerned about obtaining a Loctician, who is not only knowledgeable, but will be concerned with the state of my hair as it is. I must admit I am a bit afraid but I am more afraid of doing nothing and contending with all the various methods that I use to feed my beauty esteem that are not working. I am ready to take the leap of faith. Thank you for your inspiring and knowledgeable video.
I'd love to speakw toh you. Set up a hair appraisal on my website. You need to go into this journey armed. Iammelaninmagic.com
26:08 My hair is very curly and kinky. I do not fully understand what you mean by low/ high density locs. I am 9 months on my journey. After a retwist my roots and locs look frizzy within 2 weeks. I have been tightening everything 6 weeks, washing every 3 weeks. Am I doing this correct.
20:10 Thank you...thank you and thank you. I suspected it for long. Hmmm...have not heard of knotted locks before.
I've had my locks over ten years..and I love them. I specifically kept my hair at shoulder length because I saw others that had long locks and thinning at the top and I didn't want to experience that. (Your locks are beautiful btw)
Then, my hair started thinning at the top (I admit I made some slacking choices temporarily)...I watched countless videos, tried different hair routines like cloves/water, funnelgreek/water, deep conditioning, scalp detox, growth oils, and etc. I was at the point of taking my locks to get a style with very minimum hair manipulation. I took the official retighening class, and can do it fine, as I asked a certified lockticians to double check me, at first.
Then, I noticed the longer I waited to retighen my hair, the better it was doing and my top started growing and filling back in. Now, I retighen in sections...maybe the sides this time. Then, weeks later the back and weeks after the back, I'll retighen the top (and not to scalp). Doing It this way has made a huge difference.
Thank you so much for this helpful comment! I love your tip of retightening in sections at a time - brilliant and that feels intuitively like what my new locs will appreciate most.
I love that you are doing it your way and have been familiar and intimate enough with your hair to notice and remedy what's was going on!!! Yay!
By knotted locs, are you referring to traditional locs. Please explain.

How long should you let your hair grow before adding a new loc and trying to combine it to another loc?
It varies. I say when it's strong and can withstand. Avoid doing it too soon and stressing the loc/follicle.
This is off the topic but, I have at least 20 locks that have broken off the right side. That is a lot of volume I am missing. Do you know where can I find human hair sister locks to repair those locks? I asked my loctician if anyone decided to cut their locks I would be interested in buying them.
Be mindful of adding hair as it adds more weight. Those areas are already fatigued and likely have less hair integrity. They are weakened. You might want to wait and get those areas health first or avoid it altogether. A Google search my yield some valuable info on extensions or perhaps Instagram.
I just had a review on April 14th and my scalp is a little sensitive for the first time. What do you recommend? This is the first time that happened to me. My locs are just 7 months.
Correction, my re-tie was last Friday, April 14th.
Please see the short I uploaded today and be mindful of what is going on with your hair. Please see my playlist on loctiican issues and thinning and hair loss. Thank you for stopping by.
My locs are long, fine, low density hair. I would like to transition to knotted locs. I have no grid, spaces coming about 😢.
Give MB a call and possibly set up a consult.
What are these knotted locs? It sounds easiest in terms of maintaining. Is is even done in the states?
OMG Judy!!!! Stay tuned. Stay close by. I spent time with the creator today. A- friggin- mazing°
I will be providing info on it as one of the many things we can try as an option as we all make choices.
I wanna know too... twists?
I got my hair loc on the 5 of January so that’s 2 weeks in, when should I go back to retwist I have medium density hair. Thanks and what the oil
Depends. In the beginning, it's more frequent. Once you begin to Stabilize the retis usually spread out. At least mind did. The locticians are changing things up a bit these days. They will usually inform you on when.
@@TunisiaAli Thank you
I want micro/sister locks REALLY Badly but I was told by a loctician that i should not get sister locks or locks of any kind because i have very low density hair with smoother cuticles. Its not necessarily thin just fine. I dont want to give up on getting them but i could definitely use some advice.
Cheryl check out Melissa Blakes with knotted locs. #knottedlocs. Google her. She's easy to fine. She may be able to provide you with a viable alternative.
Many individuals with your hair type have Sisterlocs. Try atleast 3 good Sisterlocs consultants and make your decision from there.
Glad someone knows fine hair density is not the same as thin hair. Hope your hair is thriving now.
@@Aiesha1981 i am now 8 months in! I Love Love Love my sister locs! I found a wonderful Loctician who said I can absolutely flourish with sister locs. I couldn’t be happier with my hair! Its simply gorgeous!
@@LisePlansandJournals Its definitely thriving! Im 8 months in!! Thank u!!
I am considering sister locs. I have very soft fine hair..and it has been suggested it will look thin and horrible....what kind of ice would u suggest❤ thx

I do discuss this in the course. Perhaps consider the course or a consult, but the course may be more suitable. Sisterlocks may not be your first choice. You will likely need a larger size loc to proactively plan for future issues that can be naturally occurring with small locs.
Your hair is fine but I wouldn’t say it’s low density. You have very full hair
Some areas are. Believe it or not. But the majority of my hair is not. The sides and some areas of the edges are. You can see clear through my scalp and could top b4 I locked.
We as a race of people were oppressed so of courses we wanted to look like what was accepted on the television, back then you didn’t see many black people being natural embracing our beautiful heritage 🤣HAPPY TO BE NAPPY
Question 🤚🏾
So I’m getting sister locs installed soon and I have less than 5 inches of hair. Wearing a satin/silk lined cap on my head will hinder my growth or affect the outcome of my locs?
Personally, I think that is a great idea. I wish I had been more consistent. I don't see how it will hurt at all. I SEE AND EXPERIENCED ONLY BENEFITS.
Just be sure to only do it b4 going to bed. Your Hair needs sunlight and oxygen.
Can hair loss around the Edges and crown grow back by itself once you stop wearing doing the wrong things to your hair ie wearing caps and retighting too often?
It's possible, but supporting the follicles and supplementing is likely what the hair needs since it's been traumatized.
Your client may want to consider cutting/ reducing dairy and gluten in his diet…
In addition to the serum
"at risk rituals" "Sisterlock Mafia" 😂😅
Judith, don't make me laugh!
The mafia term came from a sister on the channel. I thought it was comical. Cuz it kinds feels that way, even when I was first introduced. Hahah
