    I also don’t buy into the ugly phase. People are still associating short hair with ugliness, just like people would say in the short phase of natural hair or the big chop phase. I loved my locs from day one, I started with two strand twist and the twist phase was difficult for me, once my hair began to loc, I loved it, shrinkage and all. Your twist were beautiful and your locs are beautiful and were at every stage.

      Exactly. We’ve been conditioned to think this way, that’s why I have to let the people know that there isn’t a such thing as the ugly phase👎🏾❌ I’m glad you’re enjoying your journey, and thank you!🤎

    Omg same. Finally said I'll give no oil on my scalp & minimal oil and leave in conditioner on my hair a go and I'm experiencing zero itching and virtually no inflammation. This is my 2nd journey. With the first I thought that amount of rabid itching and scratching was normal.

    • @xo_ramoni

      Yes!🙌🏾 itching is so not normal! A sign of an inflamed scalp. I’m glad it’s gotten better for you!🤎

    I never use products and I lightly shampoo, every other day, with keracare shampoo. I get a retwist every four months, my loctician will use products at that time only. It's been two years.

    I was wondering if I should buy some products but realized I don’t really need them. This video confirmed I don’t need what’s unnecessary. Also what shampoo do u use

    • @xo_ramoni
      @xo_ramoni  Před 4 měsíci +7

      Yeah products are really unnecessary. The most I would buy is rose water and aloe Vera juice.
      I don’t use shampoo. I use African Black Soap or Apple Cider Vinegar. Highly recommend the apple cider vinegar, put it in a spray bottle with water

  • @meditationmama70
    @meditationmama70 Před 3 měsíci +3

    Same sis! No products! Take off scarf and goooo. We are so free except from dandruff😂😂 or in my case. I retwist every 12 weeks w the loctician. My next goal is to retwist myself. Do you feel like your hair is noticeably heavier? Do you think you would ever comb them out?

    • @meditationmama70

      @xo_ramoni  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Right!😂 Yes my hair is getting so heavy, I really notice it when I wash it and it’s wet😩. No I don’t think I’ll comb them out. If I didn’t want them anymore I would just cut them off I don’t have time to be combing some locs out lmao

      A couple of my locs were thin and the rest of them were really thick so I just twisted the thin ones with thick ones and let them loc together naturally
