Retwisting My Locs...Oh and Happy Belated Birthday, Babies!

[AfroNationUnited]

IS THAT MIRACULE WHIP?

[icj1mg]

ewww mayo.......

[blackpisces87]

I jus died on that ham and cheese sandwich part... lol n MAYO all day!!

[az1234567897]

u look soooo good wit out them dam glasses get contacts

[J91122]

im black and i love mayonnaise no homo. lol your hair looks great!

[zpain305]

i like mayonnaise too, pause

[Prettybwoydread]

should u grease ur scout

[DreadmanCI]

yes

[carameldelight87]

I don't like that look at all. I wasn't goin for the "dreaded" look. I wanted neat, individual parts.

The hairline is always the weakest because we sleep on it and it's the most stressed area of the hair for most styles so I'm sure that it'd be thin regardless.

I actually don't have locs anymore. I combed them out after 2 years.

[SugaGurl19]

So this is basically what you do everytime you retwist your hair. did u go to a loctitian the first time you got twist or did u do them yourself, and how long did it take for the ends to lock up....yeah its alot of questions but i need to know lol

thank you in advance

[carameldelight87]

No, I had a loctician do my hair for the majority of the first year. I just started twisting it myself cuz I couldn't afford to get it done.

It took my hair a whole year to loc since I got it done so often.

And yes this was the technique I used for retwisting my hair each time.

[NaaBegNoFriend]

you r hillarious but still....BUN POrk

[carameldelight87]

Thanks. Yes, ham is not gonna kill us. We've been eating it for centuries. The oldest woman in the world just died at 115 and she was a pork eater. :)

[NaaBegNoFriend]

ham and cheese? BUN PORK

[LarishaRR]

I just got two stran twist put in that I want to lock I was wondering how long should I wait to wash them and then how should I was them? thank you for you answers

[carameldelight87]

I wouldn't wash them for at least the first month or two and when u do, be VERY gentle so that the twists don't come out. And of course let them air dry.

Overall the more u wash ur hair the longer it'll take to loc. I hated having dirty or fuzzy hair so I washed every 2-3 weeks and it took me a year for all of my hair to loc so keep that in mind.

U can use Seabreeze on ur scalp in between washes too.

[ScorpioDame]

Raaage...rock on wit ya bad self!!

[SweetK80]

I twist my locs the same way!! I've had them in for about a mnth and a 1/2. How often do u usually wear ur hair b4 it needs to b retwisted? The reason that i'm askin' is because mines need to b retwisted like EVERY week!

[Gillman007]

Hi

What spray was that? Cos my hair usually get dry when i am re-twisting. Thanks

[shaggylocs7]

5 stars^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[yungbudde88]

I GOT 94 TO YOS LOOK GOOD

[2muchlov3]

hello, i just wanted to know if u started ur own locks. i think they r beautiful. i want to start my own but im scared. can u please advise me?

[carameldelight87]

Wow, I'm sorry I'm just now seeing this. No I didn't start my own. I do know people who have but I'd recommend letting someone else start them because they can help u create proper parts. Unless ur good at making even parts on ur own head.

After that first twist, u can go to maintaining them urself though.

[JudiG]

Too funny! I remember when I used to use clips! I started mine from a medium afro so they were four inches when I started. :>

They're lookin good, girl!

[monicaker]

This video is very informative. I didnt know that your hair has to be a certain length to palm roll. I recently twisted my own hair and I didnt like how it turned out. I actually tried to palm roll it and I think I didnt leave the clips on long enough. How long should you leave them on your hair? I guess im impatient and I thougt the process was going to get easier. I have had them for almost 6 mos and they are just beginning to lock.

[FocusOnGrowth]

Mayo has gelatin in it which is another name for pork.

Try Veagnaise it taste the same without the harmful ingredients of mayo.. And they also have soy deli items to that taste like ham ...

[angeloloving]

im gettin tired of doin my Locks wit dem damn clips, i forgot one in tha back tha other day, and walk around like that. Yours look nice by the way.

P.S pork is the number 3 leading killer of black people

[carameldelight87]

Black people are the number 1 leading killer of Black people...I think my chances are better if I stick with the ham sammich! Thanks anyway.

[billk18]

[miel001]

cute, and I like Miracle Whip mostly - but just with cheeeeeese! pork bad, cheeeeese good. have you tried a roller set?

[carameldelight87]

Yep, I've been rollin them for the past month now. I love it! The flat look is just not...cute. Lol. The curls are more feminine and they last longer.

[deloburruss]

THEY LOOK GOOD..KEEP EM LOC'N

[rise313]

[samreiu]

[phoenix581987]

thatz kul... i had twist for a mnth or so now.. mines are pretty much locked up,,well not mature locks but locked... but this was a nice vid.. ps ur very pretty

[lalapumpkin94]

i never realized how much work goes into them.

breaking off....mildew...

wow

oh and love the video !!

[x1235791113x]

what do the clips do? My hair is twisted and looking funny. It hasn't dreaded yet, any advicie? Do you have to use hair dryer?

[carameldelight87]

The clips hold the newly twisted roots in place. They help train the naturally curly hair to twist in a certain direction by force. Depending on your hair type it may take longer for ur hair to loc. It took mine like 6-8 months. So be patient. The heat from the hair dryer simply sets the loc creme or gel you use faster than air drying. You don't have to use it, but it does help it along faster. Plus, with locs you can't risk having water still in your hair cuz it will mildew.

[x1235791113x]

ohh, thats where the smell comes from...just kidding thanks a lot for the response.

[marktastic0]

ha!

i have 106 locs, i thought i was the only one who counted,

cuz when ever i ask someone else,

they look at me crazy....lol

[juiceegapeach]

Aww loved the vid! Pics at the end super cute! hair has grown a ton in just a year!!!!

[alonnakyle]

your hair grew nice how ofthen do you retwist your hair?

[carameldelight87]

Well, I try to have it retwisted every 2 weeks, but that hasn't been happening lately. I'd say every 3 weeks if I'm waiting on myself to do it. This was only my 2nd time twisting it myself.

[alonnakyle]

ok is it true that your hair can break off if its thin?

[carameldelight87]

I've seen even thick dreds break off. Its all about the health of the hair in the lock. Because you know there are a lot of people with Sista Locks and I don't all of theirs break off. But I think its more prone to break if the root is really thin but the end of the loc is super thick or heavy. Thats why you have to make sure the loc is evenly sized all the way down.

[vermillionsparrow]

oh wow i haven't had white bread since i was a little boy... Mayonnaise is just so gross but i love miracle whip, I've never liked mayonnaise something about the taste just turns me off... Oh i want a ham and cheese now... but it has to be turkey ham, the only real ham i eat is on thanksgiving and on pizza cause i love sausage and mushroom pissa, damn i'm hungry now oh i wish i would have remembered the exact date i started my locs but it was in november almost three years ago ^_^

[mwill82]

random info... i like cantu oil sheen and it's really cheap also...

[melionsden]

Very few people can smile with their eyes..you do smile with your eyes at the end of the videos

(copy right dat lol)

ps something with the audio, and many have similar static noise on youtube nowadays, just wondering how it sounds at your end.

[carameldelight87]

Aww, thank you. I was kinda in a good mood. :)

I think the static comes from my camera. I haven't gotten a new one and every time I get a webcam, the picture quality is horrible. The other thing is that in WMM (Movie Maker) when I raise the volume, it raises the static too. So I try to talk louder to avoid raising the volume. But when you have roommates you try not to disturb them. What can a girl do...

[prettim169]

you surely look like "Grandma" looking over your glasses like that lol

[chrystal062]

idk why blacks dont like mayonnaise, but i dont care to much for mustard neither. i tend to put things like miracle whip and ramch on my sandwitches. anywho your locks have really grown and they are really cute.

[SooDejaVu]

wtf ham and cheese sandwichs

[carameldelight87]

Girl, YES!! Ham and cheese is where its at! Lol.
