Love this! I agree 💯. I love being semi free form. I don't retwist makes no sense. I do crochet every couple months. I love messy hair it add character! I have no problem with new growth
I semi freeform as well. I started my locs and only retwisted 2 times this year every 6 months. Before that I stopped retwisting for a whole year. But I love your locs ! They are so thick and full and pretty
i stopped brushing my hair september of 2023, almost 5 months ago now, i highly recommended everyone with or without locs to use kaolin, bentonite or any type of CLAY to wash their hair instead of manmade products, it's life changing
@@theblaqklionprobably 80-110. I said it was interesting because I’ve seen people with 65 locs and it looks thinner, flatter and more scalpy whereas hers look full. Neither one is bad especially if it’s healthy hair, but it just interesting to see how density plays a big part in how your locs turn out.
I agree with you. Unfortunately, my hair grows outside the loc and thins at the root if I don’t do some kind of maintenance. Basically, I have to braid and rap loose hairs around the loc to prevent breakage.
I do feel like the less you re-twist your hair the thicker/ fuller your hair could become. I had my locs for about a year in a half, I only went to the salon 1st lol
I stopped going to the stylist after the pandemic and decided to fully do my locs myself since my roots are sensitive I don’t want to have retwist that would pull on my hair. My stylist at the time would use a comb to retwist. So I just wash my locs every three weeks and do a light retwist with flaxseed gel I would make and keep it moving.
Same here, my extra sensitive scalp made me loc my hair coz I didn’t want the hassle of having to travel between regions to get my hair done by the only stylist who could be gentle with my hair. Locing my hair took 11 hours, it takes an agonizing 4 hours to retwist every month and I absolutely hate it. One time, this loctitian went to town on my scalp. I could feel my swollen scalp breathing for days after the fact. Annoyingly, she charged three times the fee because she claimed my love were “a lot”, worse, she used a crocheting pin. I had to hold myself back from strangling her for her lack of remorse after literally trying to uproot my hair from its roots. Safe to say, hers will be the last place I will ever go for a retwist, in fact, I rather chop off my locs than be caught dead there. I love the video and will try it out coz I am tired of the strange hands in my hair every other month.
I have 67 locs. I consider you my loc twin lol. I have 4c thick, low density hair. I get so many compliments of how thick and healthy my locs are. I am only two years in and started off with two strands. Boy, does the two years make a difference. My hair was shoulder length when i started my locs. I can see my locs looking very similar to yours in another 2 years. I still have a little two strand pattern on my ends. If I could do it all over again, I would have went with coils. It takes forever for two strand starters to fully loc. I am loving the journey. I get a retwist every 3 months. I really don't like the fresh retwist look either. And I don't like alot of tension on my scalp.
Great video! Very helpful and informative for me, as I look to also go semi-freeform for 2024. I’m almost 4 years in. Earlier in my journey, I used to retwist almost every week; over time, that slid to every 2-3 weeks. I think I’m ready to try every 6-8 weeks (eventually, maybe longer). Like you, my scalp absolutely cannot take a lot of tension. I do my own styles maybe every 3 months and then have to undo them in a couple of days! Lol 😂 Or sometimes the same day. A lot of what you said in this video definitely resonated with me, my preferences, and how I’m caring for my locs at this stage in my journey. Thank you for posting ❤
So, I just reattached my old locs back to my starter loc and i was told not wash for at least 1 month so rhat it wont fall out... I dont how true... But i do knoe that for my starter loc, i washed it everyday and as a result i got quick undergrowth, it became super thick and full of life. Whats your advice about waiting for a month to wash my hair?
how do i avoid thinning at the root when i start semi freeform’s? and if i wanted to do semi freeform could i start by coiling the root and two strand twist all the way down?
Same sis. I don't like the retwisted look but, a lot of people just don't get it. They keep asking when you're going to retwist your hair.
That’s cause those people are still living by European standards.
Same with me! I keep telling them locs are not box braids duh😊
Yeah, I just want to leave my hair alone this time around!
Beautiful hair, beautiful woman, beautiful greenery, beautiful message, love it!!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you so much ❤❤

65 locs??!!woah density is interesting
how many locs did you think she had?

@@ariesgirl6745 yup, density plays a big part indeed

Do you still have them?
@@losmit2194 yes, I do. It’s was the best decision I did for my hair lol.
Absolutely beautiful Locs 😍! Much Love, Respect and Good Vibes from Seattle 💙💚🙏🏽✊🏾✌🏾
You, and your locs are absolutely gorgeous! Loved this video - on a side note, I really love your accent!😍
Your beautiful Locs are the style I want to achieve when I start my own Locs next year!

Locs are looking great; but can we get a 360 to look at the back please.
Sure thing, I'll post that
Great video very very helpful thank you

awesome video
My locs looked just like this but we just called them....locs.
😍😍
I’m not a fan of fresh retwisted look either. I recently decided to go semi free form
Beautiful locs! So if you separate your locs and use the crochet needle to tighten is that called the crochet method or semi Freeform?
#NorthPhillyPeacePark says your it 👍🏾
I like your hair and overall look... You have a very nice accent..Where are you from???
Thank you so much! I'm from Kenya
@@traycw earned a subbie❤
Is this a reupload bc I swear I saw this whole video last year 😮

how do i avoid thinning at the root when i start semi freeform’s? and if i wanted to do semi freeform could i start by coiling the root and two strand twist all the way down?
How do you separate youre locs ?
I’m almost 8 months loc’d - i think I’ll transition to semi free form after 2 years. How long had you had locs until you semi free formed?
About 4 years in
Are you on social media ig
Yessss sis salons do them too tight
People kill me with semi freeform there is no such thing lol. If you start traditional, you end traditional. The essence of freeform is lost.
ALL LIESSSS….. JEALOUS ONE!!!!🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡💯💯💯🤦🏽♀️
That’s why it’s called semi freeform, no need to be dense
Your hair looks amazing and healthy. I wish I hadn't retwisted mine, it's lost nearly 4 months of thickness 🥲
