3 Signs You Are READY to Start Locs!!! (Starter Locs on 4C Hair):
• 3 Signs You Are READY ...
In this loc video, I'm sharing 3 signs you are READY to get starter locs. I started my loc journey more than one month ago and I've learned so much about loc maintenance, daily loc moisture, and adjusting to my 4C hair in this new state. - บันเทิง
I've had my locs 11 yrs. Never lost a loc. Here's the secret.
Keep your products natural and simple.
I only use thin and clear shampoos..lately psoriasis shampoo for my scalp.
I didn't use conditioner after I saw buildup about 2 yrs in. U really don't need it much..only at the root to soften it a bit if u do a retwist. But you Must Rinse thoroughly where the new growth and loc meet (buildup area).
I only use almond oil then castor oil on the length of the loc after I dry my hair with a lint free towel..don't keep adding it every week.
Don't use products to retwist after you are actually loc'd (approx. after a year).
(Locs turn dull and more firm and will not unravel when you are officially loc'd
Get rid of all clothing, blankets, scarves, sweaters, hats, shirts, bed linens that have any lint. I sleep on a satin pillowcase with my hair up but not covered. Most people's hair is much thinner than mine so don't retwist every month...just separate the locs on wash day and I will just braid about 6 together at a time to keep my new growth from being so frizzy. Enjoy! Keep it simple. You will have healthy and long locs forever 🌺💕💕
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for all of this wisdom! It really means a lot to have people like you in this community. Your experiences are so valuable to everyone else and I appreciate you immensely for sharing. Sending you all the love in the world 😍😊💖🥳🎉
@@AlexisHarris you're most welcome lil sis. I got more yrs in the game and wish someone would have told me sooner lol. Also I saw your loc thinning. That's from retwisting too tightly and also too frequently. I also don't do styles unless it's a major occasion and I don't keep in any updos more than a night. Mostly because my hair is so long and heavy now. But each loc is like a mini ponytail. The tension builds up over days and u will notice everyone who has these beautiful styles consistently has thin locs and worse, most develop traction alopecia. My suggestion for your locs in particular is to halt retwists for a few months. Embrace the frizz and fuzz. Just gently separate your locs at the root on wash day so they don't combine. But that may be a good idea as well since your roots have thinned. A few years from now u will most likely have a visible line where your locs are uneven due to this thinning...u can cut away the old part to have uniformity. Or just start fresh with your new knowledge. Just don't let the hair define you or your beauty. Enjoy the frizzy journey. Much love 💙💙💙
@@t.l1357 thank you for your advice! I’m 10 days in and I really appreciate it!
v. enjoy the journey. If you can make it a whole year, you will be golden. And always remember hair doesn't define you.
100% CORRECT ADVICE! I've been semi free forming so I avoid too much manipulation, something I had to take years as a loose natural learning what my natural hair likes and dislikes. My hair THRIVES on "less is more". 👍🏾
I just started mine! Been loc’d for like 4 days lol and I’m just doin as much research as possible! I’m super excited about my journey :))
Started 2 days ago!
Congrats! I’m starting in 2 weeks!
Update: started mine today!
Started yesterday 😁
Starting tomorrow 🤎
Started today lol same as you @Aunriette Davis tryna get as much info lol
Video starts at 3:37 thanks.
Lol! Yes!!! Thanks for the time stamp!!! I always forget to do thissss 😩😂🤦🏾♀️ I appreciate you!!! 💖💖💖
Thank you ❤️
Thanks
Thanks
I had locs for 23 years (a well spent youth, I must say), then about 6 years ago I decided to comb them out and become a loose natural. I loved my afro, but the price of hair care products be killin' my bottom line, yo. And, the south coast England has the hardest water known to human kind. I'm now 3 weeks into my new loc journey and honey, it's so good to back home! The two strand twist / crochet starter locs are challenging, but I'm trying to just let nature take it's course.
Omg i did the exact same thing. Loc for 20yrs comb them out 5yrs unloc then reloc on 5/4 my 1st retwist on 6/2 plus now 2 strain twist. So excited
That's how I'm bout to start mine
Hello ladies, I just joined the loc family on July 16th, 2024, at 60, but I have been doing two-strand twists since 2014. My daughter wanted to do our twist journey together. I am 3 days in, and she is maybe 3-4 weeks in. She did a two-strand twist, and I did the locking, and my hair is entirely gray. I started graying in my 20's. Thank Alexis, for the incredible information as I learn to care for my locs. This information is fantastic and I pray I can do this. Right now, my hair is up in locs, and I am feeling itchy. I sleep with my satin cap on and go out with my satin cap under my scarf because my hair is shorter with the starter locs. And I don't want my scalp to be exposed right now. Please keep this information coming. ❤❤❤❤
I don’t cover my locs I just moisturize my hair a lot. Spray it daily with my rose water mixture and oil every few days. I’m going on 2 years and they look pretty good so far . Nice content girly 🦋
Hey beautiful! 💖 I love that approach but I’m so paranoid about lint and damage. You’ve eased my mind a bit more though so I may lighten up on the loc coverage 😊💕🥳 thanks for sending some loveee
What’s in your rose water mixture? Thank you in advance!
@@destinywhite5848 what advance 😭
@@jonhenton7972 😂
@@destinywhite5848 I’d like to know too.
I am 62 years old and 4 months in my twisted lock journey. My hair is growing and I am graying…I cover my head with silk scarf and bonnet. I use pure rose water. I moisturize with my black castor oil, grape seed, jojoba, mint oil mixed. All is great. I have my locks retwisted every 6/8 weeks. I massage my scalp with my finger tips… no long finger nails. My hair looks similar to yours but longer and more locks… love this video… I did a great deal of research for a few year before i started my journey.❤😊
Thank you for your comment! I am contemplating taking the Loc's journey but I'm terrified!!!! I'm 67 years old but tired of jumping back and forth with braids both salon done and homemade etc... transitioning from perm, it's been a year now. My hair is short ... unsure where to begin!!! Challenged with embracing natural hair too!🫣 ... I love it on everyone else!
Let's add this..Let's drink lots & lots of water. I am 1.5 yrs in at 65 yrs old. Love my hair. My only regret is that I did not start earlier.
Hey, good info!! I wash and condition every four weeks and retwist every 8 weeks. I spray rosemary and cloves water every 5 days oil every 3 days, seems like a lot but it’s not. My hair is healthier than it’s ever been. I love it and it’s spiritual for me. There is no other way I want my hair than like it is. It’s getting longer, very proud of my results.
You have the brightest, warmest smile. Thank you for the tips too!
Awww, hi Maki! Thank you so much for the beautiful compliment. Your smile is amazing as well! You seem like a ray of sunshine. Happy you’re here! ☀️☀️☀️💖💖💖
I remember my hairstylist telling me to use your knuckles when scratching or washing your hair, or maybe a plastic comb. Love your progress!
Love that suggestion!!! Thanks for sharing and leaving some loveeee 💖
Your energy seems so dope along with your voice and how you delivered your POV. Thanks for the tips + your locs look great. I’m 14 months in and agree with everything you’ve said.
Thank you so much for being here and leaving some love! I’m so happy you can relate to what was said in this video and it makes me feel good to know I’m not alone out here on this journey. Can’t wait to reach 14 months like you! In the meantime I am enjoying every day. Sending you lots of love and tons of hugs!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You’re so sweet and kind about educating people about locs. I’ve been on my loc journey for 7 months. Just liked and subscribed!
Hey Kenneth! Awww, thanks so much for being here and leaving some love 🥳 congratulations on 7 months!!! What a milestone 💖💖💖 wishing you the happiest journey!!!
Great informative video! I have been locked for three years. I think it’s important to remember everyone hair texture is different and so thickness may not always be achievable. I learned that within my first year. I also don’t always cover my hair at night and don’t retwist much. I barely do anything to them lol.
Awww Lovely, your locs look amazing. It doesn’t look like you’ve done anything wrong. I’m 6 months into my loc journey & more relaxed about it all. I too have dry, sensitive & itchy scalp. Actually I wanted to scratch, just as you were mentioning it🥰but I don’t I just Pat the area. Thank you for sharing with us, it makes me feel good that I’m doing the right things. I wash & RETWIST at 4 weeks too. I also have a little girl baby (cat) she’s actually an old gir now, she’s nearly 17 years old & sleeps a lot, but I love her to bits. So glad that you mentioned loc jewellery, I’ve been so tempted, but will continue to wait a bit longer, till at least the 1year mark. Thank you again. Have subscribed & looking forward to your other videos. ONE🫶🏽✨✨🥰
What a cute little kitty!! I ALWAYS use a silk/satin bonnet when I go to bed - I can't not cover my head lol. My small fuzzy almost 10 month old locs look so much happier and neater in the morning.
Thanks so much for that tip on not scratching too vigorously. I have an itchy scalp so a good fingernail scratch is really tempting and so very satisfying. Who knew this could damage locs!!! Great content!!
Awww thanks for showing my little mittens some love! He wasn’t too happy to be on camera but I love him so much LOL. I agree with you 100% as far as the scratching of the scalp goes. It’s so tempting and feels so good but the damage can be terrible. I’m so happy you’re here because it’s always great to hear from you!!!
I started my 2 strand twist starter locs not to long ago , (nov 14 ) I been watching all your videos ever since 😃 Cause you the only person that be making sense to me .
Ayyyeee!!!! Congratulations on your new journey 😍 I’m so excited for you!!! Thanks so much for being here and leaving some love 💖
Your skin is literally glowing✨✨
😍😍😍 awww thank you!!!

Thank you for the tips! My two-strand twists are 2 1/2 weeks old, and I'm trying to have a great loc journey. I saw one of your Mom's videos and our hair is so similar. 😍
Congratulations on starting your locs, it's a beautiful journey!
Thank you so much for being here!!!! Congratulations on your new loc journey. I’m always happy to hear from people who have hair similar to my moms. She was told not to start her loc journey because of her hair type and she’s almost one year locd!!! So happy she didn’t listen 😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉
I had the same experience as a first time gardener … learning my hair is also a plant 🌱 🪴
Beautifully said, beautiful lesson 💚
This the comment right here!
You're insanely attractive 😍
Doing both actually 🥰
started gardening and my locs around the same time a week ago . For sure learning as I go ✨✨
Your energy and spirit are so amazing!! Your locs are so similar to mine. Thanks so much for the video!❤️
Awww!!! Thanks so much for being here and leaving some love. So glad you’re part of this community 💖💖🎉🎉
Thx for the Video Nubian your smile is refreshing to say the least keep up the great work!
Great energy, love your smile, sis. I’ve been on this journey six years, so you gotta know what works for you, I agree with you. As far as an itchy scalp, there are some essential oils that you can blend together with an oil to put on the scalp to help and let sit prior to shampooing. Lemongrass is one that is known to work on dandruff, as well as ylang ylang and lavender. I make my own hair oil and add it to my deep conditioner also, and sometimes you can add to your shampoo and massage into the scalp really well. Thanks for sharing your tips!
Hey Karen!!! Thanks so much for being here and leaving some love queen. It really means so much! I can’t believe you’ve been loc’d for six years. That’s so encouraging to me. Thanks so much for the tips!!! Your wisdom makes this community so much better. Sending you love and light 💖🌟
I have a question sexy, the picture where the locs is thinning out was that your experience or was that just a picture. I'm asking because that's what I'm going through.
Your tips are great. I've already started my journey and just discovered you today, but from this point on, I will follow your advice
I love your energy, u have kind eyes✨ I just started my love journey I’m not even a week in lol! loving your videos so helpful🫂 💞

Great content! I'm on my third journey in the last 8ish years. I'm still learning and I'm sure this time I'll keep them. I don't want anything else. Thanks for the video! Also you remind me of Tempest Bledsoe a little bit 😁
Hey hun! Just found your videos! I'm 4 years in to my 2nd loc journey. I usually don't sleep with a cap on because I'm a horrible sleeper and I'm prone to migraines, but I don't have any lint and it helps my locs to mature better lol. I don't have any linty clothes either so I don't have to worry about that
Thank you Alexis ..Your hair looks Great.fullness, shape & thickness of your locs. Take Care
Awww, thank you so much!!!! So happy you’re here. Take care and talk soon 💖💖💖

I been using bobby pin but after research I found, tea tree, rosemary, lemon, and mint takes the itch away along with Aloe!! thanks for the helpful advice. Your Locs are amazing
Thank you for making this video. I just started my locs journey( with 2 strand twists), recently 21st of August!

😭I wish I could see your progress, since its been like 5 months now
You are so beautiful sis! I have microlocs so I do t really watch traditional loc vids but I saw you and was like awww! 😊 Thx for the info on the loc jewelry.
Thank you for the advice on itching scalp because I have been scratching my scalp like crazy
Thank you so much for tuning in! I’m happy you found this video helpful. Itchy scalp is so tough to deal with sometimes. I understand completely 💗
You are freaking GORGEOUS!!!!! And I absolutely love your locs !
Awww THANK YOU SO MUCH BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! 😍😍😍🥳
I love your hair, and the style you chose, I don’t see what your talking about with the negative aspects of your hair. But you look warm and inviting with that style. You give me ideas on how I’m going to style mine before i retwist again.
These were some great tips! Thanks Queen 👑
Awww! Thanks beautiful!!!! So glad you found them helpful 💖👑
I have a starter loc appointment on Tuesday. I’m so excited and cannot wait to begin my journey😊 my only worry is that I have scalp eczema and my scalp get sooo itchy and flaky
Love your tips. Youre a very naturally beautiful woman and have a flawless smile
Awww wow! Thanks so much for making my day. So happy you’re here and part of this community!!!
Very useful! Thank you so very much! Very insightful and so very important to a second time locker... 💞🥀
You're so pretty. Thanks for the tips. I started my journey 2 months ago.
Awe the way your face lit up with mittens. So cute!
😍😍😍 awww thanks love, that’s my baby!!! Lol
The breakage is sooooo true 😂 I laugh because this my first time watching the video and as you was saying that I was literally doing what your hair stylist had to do to yours.
I always cover my locs and I do use jamaican oil and mouse once every week. This was recommended by my loctitian and I wash my hair once a month as well. I started my loc journey 2/25/23. I’m a new subscriber as well.
Awesome video!! In my experience, diet is also important, drinking alot of water is helpful to locs. Love your videos, you have an amazing media presence ♥️🙏
Awww, thank you so much for being here and leaving some love. I agree with you about diet and water. I’m a firm believer that what we put inside will manifest outside. Sending you lots of love and tons of hugs ♥️♥️♥️

Awww I’m sooooo excited for you!!!! Congratulations and keep me posted please 😍😍😍
Thanks I made my first batch of rose water myself! I really don’t have friends to share this joy with so I’m sharing with you. Their loose naturals LOL. Loved the video
How did you make it?
@@estheralfred2448 dried rose petals bring cup of water to boil turn off put petals in until just enough so they are covered by water put lid on lets them sit till they puff drain and store keeps in fridge for a month and out of fridge for a week. It was fun actual just let it cool some before you put in your bottles
Thank.you
Hey Ms. Sharon!!!! Thanks so much for being here and sharing your rosewater recipe with us. Such a cool process! I have yet to try it but you have inspired me. Happy to be on this journey with you!!!! Lol. You are such a joy.
@@AlexisHarris you have been an inspiration thanks!
6:36am I am 4 weeks in with my starters. I won't say locs because they look like curly twists. I don't know how long it will take to loc but I am excited. My hair is growing already and I've re-twisted them once. I haven't had to add much products at all. Occasional oil spray but nothing else. I hope they come out as beautiful as yours. Taking all advice given ❤
Hi! Covering or tying my locs at night, literally gives me headaches. So I praise Satin pillow cases on everything! When I’m home I secure a satin pillowcase on the sofa or anything my head leans on to avoid friction. The con is your hair will have a less uniformed appearance.
Your hair is beautiful!! I definitely need to establish a maintenance routine.
And I love your lip color- can you share where you purchased?
Awww thank you so much!!! 😍😍😍 I bought the lipstick from Walmart. It is a shade of covergirl I believe 💖
If you tie your hair down with a satin scarf you can preserve your locs longer in between retwist...If you don’t tie it down but your going like 2 months in between retwist your head will be so tender at the next retwist
I agree!!!
You’re so beautiful! I enjoy your energy truly, glad I came across this video!
Awww, thank you so much for stopping by and leaving some love!!!
Hey Alexis, I just subscribed cos I absolutely love your locs...... I'm a little over a year locd right now and the general opinion of what's good for locs and what isn't is kind of different here in Nigeria, but I do wish my locs could come out looking like yours ❤❤❤❤
I dug this,thanks for the upload I've decided to subscribe!!!✌✌✌
Thanks so much and thank you for subscribing! Welcome to the family 💖💖💖
Great tips! 💖
Thanks for tuning in, love!!!! 💗💗💗
You have such a kind smile i love it 😂
Awww!!! Thank you so much 😂😍 I love your profile name. It made me smile even more lol
I use clove oil and water and mist daily. I tie them with a silk scarf and was my hair weekly. Less product, no excessive manipulation and they wil thrive. Your locs are beautiful!!!! Loc beads are better they don't snatch your hair.
I was so like you on your last tip lol!!! I scratched horribly and now I have pieces of hair that is not in a loc either. What are you doing to get your locs back? Because yours are beautiful. Thanks for the tips. I could never sleep without my scarf lol Also you're very beautiful! Stay Bless❤🥰
Awww hey beautiful!!! 😍 i’m so glad to hear I’m not alone in this lol i’ve heard that some people use an instant loc tool to put the tiny pieces back into their loc… but I just keep wrapping it around or stuffing it into my locs when it peeks back out. Lol wishing you the happiest journey possible!!!
Starting my locs today, can’t wait! 4 hrs left😁
Love it!!!! How’d it go?! 😍😍😍
your hair looks so good!
Thank you beautiful!!!!! 😍😍
I’m also thinking about getting some i hope in pray it goes well
Hi Alexis great tips. I am currently in Atlanta visiting one of my besties. I need for you to still do a virtual one year loc anniversary. Would love to join you. Your locs are beautiful. If you have a dry and itching scalp try a little bit of tea tea essential oil. Continue enjoying your journey.
Hello beautiful Miss Jane!!! I’m so happy you’re in town. I would love to still plan something virtually but I fell under the weather a little bit the past couple of weeks so I’ve just been focusing on getting better. Feeling my absolute best right now and thankful for people like you who uplift me every week!!! 😍😍😍😍🥳🥳🥳🥳
You are super gorgeous girl, love your laughter!! Love your energy! Love your locs... Loc'd one month now & definitely taking this journey with you as my mentor...
Awww, thank you so much beautiful lady!!! Congratulations on your new journey and I am honored to be a part of your experience. Welcome to the family!!! 💖💖💖
LOVE your video. Such a Sweet Spirit Queen. Thanks for the tips. I made the same mistake with scratching. Smh. I know better than to scratch. I know to use the cushion of my fingertips buuuut... LOL! 😜 Smh. So I will NOT do that again. ♥️🙌🏽
Awww!!! Hey beautiful 😍🥳 thanks so much for being here and leaving some love. I’m happy I’m not the only one who learned her lesson about the scratching LOL I was so ashamed 😂🤣
Yeah my stylist said no washing period b/c its like resetting the process, but I think its more of the type of hair you have I say this since mine is curly soft hair so it will be difficult to lock if I wash it. I get my retwist every 2 weeks. So far I'm loving the loc journey its more comfortable and cheaper than braids.
Two strand twist were too harsh for my texture of hair. I had breakage 5.0 😬 until I combed them out, deep conditioned my hair then installed braidlocs ✌️😝 Been loc'd now for about over a year and luvin' it!
Beautiful!!!! Love it 👏🏾😍🥳💖🎉💗
Have the braids stopped showing
@@Kavonnalatrice_ Yep, you can still see the braids if you look really close but from a distance you can't tell the difference. It's been 2 years this month ☺️ and I haven't regretted going loc'd. Some are still budding tho'. I have a wavy, curly type of hair.
Great tips! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your tips and sharing your experience!! You remind me of a dear friend of mine. When I started my locs, I encouraged her to loc up with me. Nevertheless, she didn't but I went on with my loc journey. I debated and waited so long prior to making my decision to do it. Now that I've done it, I really wished I would had done it sooner. But your locs looks really adorable and they fit you. How did you start yours if you don't mind me asking? I started mine with a two strand twist and they came out with the thickness I was going for. Love little Mittens!! 😺 I'm a cat lover too, Pokey and Kiko are my kitties! ♥️ Keep doing what you're doing, you definitely got a new subscriber!! Good luck with your journey!!
Hello beautiful!!! Thank you so much for being here and subscribing to my channel. Welcome to the family 💖💖💖 your energy is incredibly amazing and I agree with you that I wish I would have started locs sooner. I started with a two strand twist method as well and I’m very happy with the outcome. Thanks for leaving some love for Mittens! I’m sending lots of love to Pokey and Kiko as well. Those names are ADORABLE 🥰
im bout to start my locs wit 2 strands and i juss wanna say preciate you.
ayeee, much love Caleb! I appreciate you for being here ♥️ good luck
Covering my locs keeps the moisture in them for me🥰 my hair tends to eat oil😅 so I definitely cover mine lol
Same here!!! Lol 😍🥳
Mines too my hair is thick so I moisturize it also twist lock gel and beeswax and oil those 4 products together kept my hair hydrated also the style last longer
Thank you my sister so much for the tips 😊
First time watching!! I want to say you have such a beautiful spirit and energy that I could feel thru watching your video. Just seem like a calm, pure, & genuine spirit 🥰
thank you for the tips and sharing your journey with us.
I’m just starting out and trying to be sooo patient (only 3 months in 🤕) and I’m hoping they will actually look like they are locs instead of two strand twists or something other than locs lol.
My friend has done 2 strand twists and even braided part of it and told me to just stay put and let it naturally work it’s way more and more into locs since I’m not completely natural. Her locs are amazing and so are her kids so I’m just trusting her lol.
Also, I haven’t checked your other videos out, but do you have any interests in astrology, herbal medicines & soaps, maybe a weekly topic regarding an aspect of mental health.
I think those are topics that never seem to get old & intrigue many, at least in my opinion. Also, I would be interested in learning more about your journey, and how you discovered your passion & gifts for doing these videos? We’re you always interested?
Just a few ideas. I’m headed to check your other episodes out 😊
Awww, hey Whitney!!!!! 😍😍😍😍 Thanks so much for being here. Let me just say I love your energy and I can feel it through my phone screen right now.
Thank you for sending me so much love and new ideas for content! Congratulations on your first three months in this journey. When I first started out I had the same concerns that my hair would look like twists instead of locs (and I’m still paranoid sometimes actually 😩🤣) but trust me when I say your hair will do wonders and surprise you in the most beautiful ways.
I’m so happy you’re here and look forward to hearing more about your journey as your locs develop and mature! Sending you the biggest hug and the most love 💖💖💖🥳🥳🥳
This is my dilemma now 😫 My locs look like 2 strand twists now. It's been a month now.
Very helpful, Thank you!
Your beautiful and your locs are gorgeous🥰 very inspiring🌟😊
Awww!!! Thank you so much!!!! 😍😍😍
