[quotidianlight]

@knotty1atl I hope you like the results

[chyitaria]

Thank you SO much for replying! I'm going to check the video out now. Also, what is a POST wash? I'm thinking the final wash? So is there a pre wash? I'm learning girl, I'm learning.... LOL

[quotidianlight]

@chyitaria post wash just mean after washing. My roots always look smoother for a couple days is all.

[chyitaria]

I notice your new growth is a little more maintained in this video, do you retwist and freeform? If so how often and how do you keep the roots maintained so pretty?

[quotidianlight]

@chyitaria my hair always looks like this a couple days after post wash. I haven't retwisted in almost a year. Check out my hair dryer video though. I think that is why it appears more maintained for a couple days.

[Cinnabuni]

Your makeup has been on point lately missy! Very pretty. And I can't wait to try this style. You're the best.

[quotidianlight]

@Cinnabuni Thanks!

[ChiDirtySouthGul]

hmmm...I wonder if I can do that on my locs/size...:-)

[quotidianlight]

@ChiDirtySouthGul I don't see why it wouldn't work on any sized locs. I saw someone with sisterlocks try it last week and it looked gorgeous

[SIP612]

I tried this style for work today. I loved it. I didn't like the alteration I did (my hair isn't as long as your's so I couldn't do the the front the same as yours) but my overall style was still cute. I just did flat twist on the top. Thanks for the idea.

[quotidianlight]

@SIP612 I bet it looked super cute

[quotidianlight]

@rockinrobin786 I hope you try it out

[PumkinSeedandSpice]

even where the rubber bands show you can put a nice little hair decoration to distract from them

[quotidianlight]

@PumkinSeedandSpice totally

[PerfectPiece1916]

Cute!



[quotidianlight]

@PerfectPiece1916 thanks

[trinimaican2501]

Love this!!! Honestly, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. I swear your hair grew like inches overnight! lol Such an inspiration! ;)

[quotidianlight]

@trinimaican2501 hahaha, it's called freshly washed locs. My hair normally takes a couple days to start shrinking lmao

[trinimaican2501]

@quotidianlight Lol fair do's!

[Kumina4]

quick and easy! I'm going to try it on my locs and my daughter's, she needs something to take the place of her ponytail (her ole standby). thanks!!

[quotidianlight]

@Kumina4 Yeah, if she's young you could use sparkly rubberbands or barrettes like some suggested. That'd be super cute

[JesusLovesDenise]

great style, rubber bands and all. i LOVE it!

[quotidianlight]

@JesusLovesDenise I can't wait to find rubber bands my color but if you go slow and use a mirror, you can hide them as you go

[mspelease]

Very Nice, Can't wait to try it! Thanks



[quotidianlight]

@mspelease Definably, try. The back is super quick for time you needs to do something but don't have time.

[butterflydoes]

@LocdNLovelyRita Thanks

[duskydiva]

[quotidianlight]

@duskydiva Ooh, I'm picturing pretty sparklies or beads!

[ErinvonMcIntosh]

[quotidianlight]

@RootsRunDeeep I'm working on it! lmao, Thank you

[Cherished131]

Great tutorial...I've never seen this technique. BTW you makeup is on point. What color is your lipstick....love that.

[quotidianlight]

@Cherished131 Thanks, my lipstick is a plum lipliner some unknown color from stila with my favorite Nars lip gloss on top. The color is Gothika. It's a gorgeous neutral when worn alone for medium to dark skin. It is discontinued so if you see it... GRAB it.

[wagechi29]

it looks great on you!

[quotidianlight]

@wagechi29 Thank you

[proud2banurse]

'thumbs up' from me!!!! Nice style!! Great tutorial! I can't wait til I can try this!!

PS: what are your thoughts about Biotin supplement for hair/nails??

[quotidianlight]

@proud2banurse Honestly, I prefer just good diet. If I supplement I'd rather use a hair vitamin with MANY vitamins and minerals including MSM as nutrients work together naturally. My diet is crap right now so I'm going to start trying one and see how it works. It's hard to tell because the seasons and our diet also affect our hair... if my hair grows, was it the vit, spring or cause I drank more water or cause my locs matured past shrinkage stage *shrugs*

[quotidianlight]

@proud2banurse All that said, MSM is no joke and the one suppliment I feel helps hair. It doesn't make hair grow "faster" though. It lengthens the growth cycle so hair is longer before it sheds. It also makes hair look healthier.

[proud2banurse]

@quotidianlight : Wow! Is there anything you don't know??? Thanks!!!

[quotidianlight]

@beautifulblaq1 Thank you

[quotidianlight]

@theinnercreative Thank you, are you gonna try it?

[quotidianlight]

@rmcandlelight I love those pins and have a TON of them. I learned about them when my daughter was in ballet. They are sold at dance stores

[lil28bit]

[quotidianlight]

@LuvitHeart *blush*

[LuvitHeart]

Luv luv luv this look! I can hardly wait to try this{:-). Thanks for sharing. So cute

[quotidianlight]

@LuvitHeart If you try it, do a response video. I'd love to see what other poeple do with it

[basketballbabe03]

Soooo cute! I don't have locs but I'm definitely going to try this with my braids

[quotidianlight]

@basketballbabe03 I actually think it would look amazing on loose natural hair too. A nice protective winter do imo

[MsKPJ]

great style, looks quick and easy enough for me! By the way love your makeup in this video, that lipstick is gorgeous!

[quotidianlight]

@MsKPJ thanks!

[faqu529]

I am still in disbelief that u have freeform locks. they are the neatest that i have seen. they look gorgeous. the freeform locs i usually see look terrible. thanks for the iinfo.

[quotidianlight]

I love freeform locs but a lot have very dry damaged hair from lack of moisture. Napsfaya has a wonderful freeformed look. She doesn't even pop her locs but the health and sheen is palpable.

[MoesDreads]

best freeform locs i've seen on YT. Keep it up sis. It must be the brushing huh? lol. Dopeness...

[quotidianlight]

@MoesDreads I don't think it's brushing. I think using good ph balanced shampoos/conditioners has seriously changed my locs for the better. When I was using Dr. Bronners/natural shampoos and oils, my locs looked... fairly crappy to be honest.

[nickyworth25]

cute

[quotidianlight]

@nickyworth25 Thanks

[blakreign39]

I love this...and the make up is fab too!

[quotidianlight]

@blakreign39 THis camera has kinda made makeup a necessity lmao. Those pixels are no joke lmao

[vgraftonjr]

Very cute! BTW, Goody makes the "Colour Collection" of covered elastics in different shades. Maybe they have some to match your auburn. :-)

[quotidianlight]

@vgraftonjr Thank you! I'm gonna see if I can find them

[ebonydivine1]

Very nice!!

[quotidianlight]

@ebonydivine1 Thanks ebony:)

[ztnupe8]

Looks great Sis, how bout some unisex styles.

[quotidianlight]

@ztnupe8 I really don't know of any. I can try but they'd probably look pretty girly. You should do male styling videos!

[tbey82]

Great tutorial. This have given me tons of ideas thanks for sharing!

[quotidianlight]

@tbey82 Yeah, it's so quick and easy it lends itself to a lot of interpretations. You should do a vid response!

[tbey82]

@quotidianlight Yes when I try it I will do one. Thanks again

[classicaljaz]

love this!!! video response coming soon :)

[quotidianlight]

@classicaljaz I can't wait to see it!

[qochemist]

Very pretty...I love the back of the style ... very creative

[quotidianlight]

@qochemist I love the back too, just wish I could remember where I got it. I hope they're watching.
