Ok. Again thx for responding.

[ladyfinesse82]

Is it true that honey can change the color of your hair? Ive you can use that as natural way to dye the hair or the tips. Thx for your time!

[lillydot]

@ladyfinesse82 i've never heard that before. i've heard of using lemons and i think i heard about someone using vinegar to change their hair color. and of course henna which people add teas or coffee grounds to to change the color.

[exprodigal83]

Wow...Why so many shampoos? I like to find one or two name brand products and stick to them. That way I won't have too many different chemicals in my hair to keep it as natural as possible. Rasta Jamaican Mango and Lime products are my fav. and they smell sooooo good.

Thx 4 sharing the video.

Peace & Love.

[lillydot]

mostly because i like the different smells. plus they have different purposes. one is to clarify, one to to protect the color, one is to moisturize. i don't use the JML stuff anymore cause they changed their formula and a lot of their stuff has petroleum in it now. but i do use the cactus leave-in but i water it down a lot cause its so thick! but i also like to try a lot of different things so i know which products work best for me. you gotta try them so you know. happy you enjoyed the video!

Nice video!! Nice locs! I do mine myself to! Check my vids out n let me know what you think! Suscribe Please!!

[goldpurse]

you look tanned in this video, you look nice. is that a different came then the vids from 5/09

[lillydot]

no, its the same one. i think i gotta mess with the color balances a little. they're a bit off. i've been noticing i've been looking a bit more washed out in the most recent vids, too! LOL!

[shaggylocs7]

I'm so feeling this video, u go!!!

[erotiquenoir]

I love the video! Have you ever used any Burtsbees products. They have excellent shampoos and conditioners. Personally I like the Raspberry and Brazilnut. I also swear by their Avacado butter for leave in conditioner.

[lillydot]

i've used their products, but not any of their hair stuff. i didn't even know they had a hair line! i haven't seen it around here.

[gunshinestateG]

how long were yur locs when you first started them, how many inches do you think they were :

and how did you start them two strand twist or comb coils

[lillydot]

i started my locs with yarn. i cut off all my relaxed hair and had about 3 inches of hair that they put in yarn braids.

[Ameenah79]

Do you dilute your shampoo when you wash your hair because I do.

[lillydot]

yeah. i ahve one of those hair color applicator bottles. and i usually mix a half water, half shampoo mixture in that. and that way i can apply the shampoo directly to my scalp instead of putting a glob on my locs and trying to work it down to the scalp.

[flyville1]

wat method did you start with?? twiwst two strand sisterlocs etc and how long was it when you started??

[lillydot]

i started with yarn braids and then i palmrolled the newgrowth as it grew out. i cut the braids out after a few months and just palmrolled. just this year february, i switched to latching. i've been growing my hair for almost 6 years

[barbaydian261]

damn gurl.... u putting in alot!!!

[lillydot]

i don't use all of that stuff daily. in fact, i barely use anything daily. too lazy to keep up with it mostly. but that was just a vid of all the different things that i had on my shelf at the time.

[lillydot]

thicker? no, not really. most of the products that i have ever tried that say they thicken your hair don't really.

[PrettiBoiShai]

do u kno wat kind of products i can use to make my hair more thicker? im in my 3rd month of locking my hair...

[Dreadheadsclub]

Is it ok to use any kind of shampoo on dreads

[lillydot]

yup. i tend to use moisturizing shampoos 'cause i have dry hair and scalp, but you can use anything. the only time i've heard of an exception is if you have sisterlocks. they have their own stuff for their hair because of slippage.

[9921545]

wow i have a dry scalp oo how did u handle it

[tinypufff]

How often do you twist your hair? It looks really nice.

[lillydot]

thanks! i don't palmroll anymore. i latch my hair with the NappyLocs tool.

[tayluve]

thanks for the loc product vid! i use olive oil, rosemary essential oil and water as a spritz now, but i'll have to try some of the other ingredients you added also!

[schrece]

good info thanks for the video your looks look nice

[3Bubbles77]

Thanks for the vid. You said you have trouble with dry scalp. Me too. This is my 4th attempt with dreads. What should I use to oil and clean my scalp?

[lillydot]

i've found that washing more often helps a lot, ironically. i now wash once a week as opposed to once every month or so. also, i just make a higher oil to water ratio for a heavier moisturizer.

[mrsbroom1]

It's Kesha (tite519)from lovinlocs. Good job are you going to post another video with the braid out?

Keep up the good work.

[lillydot]

Hi Kesha! I was thinking about it, but i don't have anything to say! maybe i will. tomorrow.
