It's me, I'm the girl considering locking my natural hair
konke makhaye me tooooo
Me too!
I just stop my natural of 8 years locked 3 days ago. So far, I'm loving it.
@laverinelot I locked mine a few days ago and I'm so happy I did. My locs are almost shoulder length and my mornings have never been this easy since... Never
@alwaysstinkandpooh I got it done. Best hair decision I've made in my entire life.
I’m two seconds away from locing my hair
I'm -0.5 seconds from locking mine. Tired of combing this mane out.
Tranquil 17 the struggle is realll
Ik
Just do it! Trust me. It will be the best decision you ever make. If you are truly unsure about it you should look at the advice I found on this blog - mylocksjourney.com/deciding-to-lock-your-hair/
Same. Technically I already started. I have one loc in the back of my head that’s like 10 months old and I decided ima just do my whole head lol
Moisturizer: half rose water, half vitamin E oil in a spray bottle (3-4 times per week). Oiling your scalp: Castor oil (1-2 times a week). Twisting (if you want to): Every 3 months. Washing routine: every 2-3 weeks
With Dr Bronners Peppermint Castile soap (or if it stanks), other than that... leave your hair the hell alone!
puzzlesjay could you get re twist every month or month n half ? I work in corporate environment so I have to be mindful of my appearance
@@lasoul680 I think once a month at the minimum.
Thanks for the info I'm a 3c natural type hair and plan on locking
Do you wash the entire length of the loc? Or do you just wash the scalp?
@@notthe1_orthe2 I concentrate on the scalp as that is where the dirt accumulates and originates, but I gently squeeze the shampoo throughout the length of my locs as second hand smells can linger in their density.
I’ll be locking my hair this Friday after being natural for 4 years. Wish me luck 😩
Are you doing it yourself or getting it done?
Me too. Good luck on your journey!!
Me too
Am also looking mine by Monday
It’s been a min now since you’ve commented and I just wanna know how things are going? I’m also natural and have been thinking for a while about locking and I’m still teetering on the unsure side 😩 do you miss the versatility you had while natural? I think that’s my main worry
Pretty Hippie: Hey girl
**waits**
Pretty Hippie: ... or Hey guy !
Me: 😁🥰
As soon as she said that I pressed subscribe lol
moneybagz show no cap!
😂😂 so cute
Same😂
After being natural a little after 4 years, I’m finna start mines today 🥴
I'm about to start today💜
I want tl start today. I think I'll do mine on my own to start.
I start Sunday 🙌🏾
I started mine today.
I’m starting mine today.
I’ve been natural all 22 years of my life!! I think it’s time to start my journey!!
Same here, 22 yrs and for at least 11 years been considering locs. Smdh
I've recently started my spiritual journey..and I've also been thinking about locing my hair this was the message spirit sent me to go ahead and do it! IM READY 💫✨🙌🏾🦋💜
Hello. How is your journey going sis?
I love the back drop because it goes with your channel theme.
I’ve been locd for a year now and I was showing this video to my boyfriend before he decides to loc up. I love this video 🤗❤️
Arreonna Woods aww thank you!!
You’re welcome 🤞🏾
Why the music got me really rocking to the beat 😂
lmfao
Let’s eliminate the word “Dreads” from the Loc Journey. Before going on your Journey make sure you know the history of the word “Dreadlocks”🙏🏼.
@Why Slato 💯
Please and thank you
I’m always so indecisive when it comes to dreads!!! I just get faux locs until Iknow I’m ready but locs are beautiful.. you can still wear wigs and get sew ins and everything
True
That depends on the length and thickness of your hair. My locs have already gotten so thick I can't hold them in one hand. That means I also can't braid them flat to put under a wig or sew-in.
“I used to do hair way back in the day” 😂 girl u look 22 what u talm bout lol
I started my locs 4 and a half years ago, and I have to say your advice is excellent. I had to learn this a long the way. I'm getting ready to loc my daughter's hair and I'm sending her your vid.
The time frame varies. I have had my locs for 6months and they have length and signs of locking. I guess because im not always in my hair like that and I've only used natural products since i started. Patience is key though. This journey is not for that faint of heart or lazy folks. Embrace, enjoy it and just love it as you love yourself and the journey will be amazing. Love Peace and Hair grease✌🏾
I started my combcoils 2 yrs ago ,and i love them, i started with 2inches and my hair is 8-9inch now ,plz sistas get them ,you wont regret it
Comb coils?
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
What are they?
I twisted my hair lastnight , I literally cant wait for the progress I will experience. I'm full on ready for my journey 🙌🏽🙏🏼❤
“That person” is me right now, I’ve been saying I want to loc my hair for a few months now and I just keep it on putting it off. I food the courage to finally do it in a few weeks. I’m nervous and excited, this video really helped. Thanks! 😀
I’m naturally thick and coily. Considering locking. I have a lot to think about and way more to research! Thanks so much!
I’ve been considering locing my hair for years, since I was in high school. I’m 27 now and I’m ready now! Thanks for this video, your hair looks wonderful.
Same boat, will be 27 and feel this is the time to do it!
I ABSOLUTELY love your make-up, it looks so natural and I love your locs too! Are you going to do a tutorial on how you applied your make-up as well lol!?
Starting my journey in the A.M and I know it’s official for me this time... I’m watching loc videos 🧬🙅🏾♀️🧢
Hey girl🙋🏾♀️ have 1 more week until my loc journey starts!! Excited 🥰 love your energy...
It reach me sis. I'm someone.. I been putting my starter loc appointment further and further 😭😭😭 but I need to figure it out.
Tarrie D definitely me......I’m just doing my research now
Count me too 😂💀😭
After being natural for years I'm starting mine tomorrow. I'm bad with shrinkage so im about to look up cute styles for short locks. I teach so since we're home until the fall, this is the perfect time to begin the process.
Thanks so much for the info Pretty Hippie, very helpful & you're gorgeous Sis!
You were def talking to me because I’m the one contemplating locking my hair ☝🏾
Thanks, I really enjoyed your tips. The only thing that might help those like me who are considering locs is to add a little photo of words like honeycomb or show examples when you said there were different options. But again overall, thanks for the things to consider..... I'm almost there - almost ready to take that leap 🙂
You said it ALL... ALL I CAN REITERATE ON IS... IF U DON'T HAVE PATIENCE... LOCS AIN'T FOR YOU.... AND YOUR DIET IS VERY IMPORTANT.. IF YOU WANT HEALTHY LOCS.... THIS IS A PROCESS.... I REPEAT THIS IS A PROCESS.... THE LESS PRODUCTS YOU USE THE BETTER.... IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR HAIR.. WHEN YOU START THIS JOURNEY.... YOU WILL FIND OUT... EACH JOURNEY IS DIFFERENT..... GREAT VIDEO.... SHALOM
This for me
I wanna do this I'm still being nervous 😊🙏
Have been considering locing for a while now I finally think I’m ready. . I’m glad this video brought me here!
Continuous Peace and Blessings to you my beautiful Sister!🙋🏾♀️
Yes, you're talking about me....I have been natural for 6 years now & not only am I really tired of wearing braids in my hair (I have to do little to no manipulation hairstyles or my hair won't grow) but I have also been re-evaluating what is truly important in life and doing my best to reinvent my mind. So with that being said....My decision to loc my hair is very spiritual for me as well. Also I know my locs will look so freaking dope just like so many other Sisters' hair that I have seen!!😉 The only thing I will definitely miss is not being able to rock my Afro!😔
Talk about a dope hairstyle....especially when it's natural!
Smooches Honey Bunny 😘🐇
This video reached me🙌🏽 lots of good information to know before starting.
I’m starting my loc journey next week and I am super excited.
Girl you are so pretty! And I love your locs. I want someee 😩😍
🙋🏾♀️Me... I'm locing soon. Luckily I'm a cosmetologist and have a friend that specializes in natural/locs but since this is something I have to wear I've been researching like crazy!! You've been informative... thank you!
Hi.... Such a good video... One key word is COMMITMENT.... It is a process, but well worth it. I'm 10 years locd and loving my journey, my transformation as to who I am. Started with above my ear length to now waist length. It took a minute to get there but again commitment got me there. Be blessed.
I loc’d my hair on 10/24/2020! I was natural for 10yrs! I have to say that going loc’d is much more liberating than being natural.... I went to a loctician/locsmith but I let her decide what was the best route I should go based on my hair texture. I believe I have 3C type hair so I went with the comb-coil method... my loctician styled me locs to keep them in place and she suggested I sleep with my locs covered in a du-rag instead of a scarf or bonnet... I plan to go every 3 weeks for my wash and retwist initially and then switch to once a month starting January 2021.... For moisturizing my hair I will use Aloe Vera, “Wild Growth Hair Oil” and from time to time rice water... I am soooooo glad I started my locs, I’m sorry I waited so long.
Be blessed and be safe!!! BLM ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾
THANK YOU for this!!! I am 2 seconds away and now I have a WAY more focused approach and my random questions were answered! It's like you read my mind! So very glad I found this video!!!
I’m 20 , been natural all my life and I’m getting my locs finally today! You’ve got me hooked you’re so beautiful
Hiii...
Me, I’m thinking heavy about it and was looking up videos and this is the second video that popped up!! Thank you so much
Do it! I just started mine today. It’s a feeling of newness. Good luck.
MONA LISA I am🤗 I’ve made up my mind!!🥰 thanks
I've been natural for three years and been considering locking my hair for a while now. Watching your video was part of my "research" like you said in this video lol
I’m that someone in the world looking for advice before starting my locs so appreciate the video.
“Shaaaaade, no but seriously” lol
Omg I love this video, I always have faux loc because I have Zero patience for ugly stage.. thank you!💕
Lololol
🤣🤣
Me!! Right here 😂😂 I currently have my faux locs in but I've reallyyyy been considering taking the plunge into actually locking my natural hair via interlock method
This video is exactly what I needed. I'm excited to start my journey!
I was researching to surprise my wife because she wants dreads and I came across this GREAT VIDEO! Very helpful Thank you!
Yes sis! It's me!!! I'm someone, going in the a.m.. Just needed some closure. Thank you! 🤗
Hey Gurll, well you told the truth and shamed that quick dread devil. You helped me out big time because right now I think I just need to do more research and grease my napps. I was going through a thang and implused cut my hair without a style even in mind. That's how I got here don't know what to do now. Pray for A SistaR. W.W.A.P.
Wow what a place
Great video! i did all the research thatyou talked about in this video. I'm getting mine tomorrow!!! I'm excited and scared. Mostly excited!
Ami Brink awesome ! Much love on your journey! 💕
I will be locking my hair on the 7th after 4 years of being natural! Can’t wait!! 😊
YASSS I'm that girl!! I'm subscribing honey but you just made me think my whole life!!! But I'm up for it!!! #Patience
1st thing to know... Dont call them "dreadlocs." Beautiful hair though.
ebonyessence8 lol why not?
@@ivy190Here is a link explaining why... www.knottyboy.com/learn/dreadlock-history/
💯
People can call their hair whatever they want
Oh please
I clicked for 2 reasons. I'm 7yrs in on my locks and you black queen, you are absolutely stunning.
Hey girl lol, I came across this video because I’m thinking about starting my loc journey
I'm locking my hair tomorrow! I'm pretty nervous but also excited. Can't lie, your talk about patience for almost a year is a bit scary but I'm still going ahead with it. Wish me luck
The starter phase is what makes me nervous, but your video was very informative and is getting me closer to the starter phase ♥️
I'm locking my hair this Saturday. I've been natural all my life, and I wanted to be informed to be sure I'm making the right decision.
U are such a beautiful black queen
This will be my third time trying to loc my hair and its it's been 3 weeks and this time I'm feeling very confident about my locs
I love your advise it's been almost two months since I locked my hair and I wanted to shave them off but now I get it it's a process imma give it time...ps girl you flying
I've been flirting with the idea of locing my hair for years. I currently have two-strand twists that look like your hair. However, I'm on covid lockdown and I'm thinking of letting them loc fully. Do you have a video or link detailing the "c" or fish scale parting method? I need a step by step parting tutorial because my twist to part ratio is off since this is self installed. I want them more uniform.
that background music fye lol. thank you for an informative video!
I too, have never had any one else maintain mi loks. I have always been the sole soul taking care of mi loks and I have only used aloe (the leaf) and coconut/tea tree/peppermint oils for maintenance of mi loks. I have been a happy soul. :)
I constantly consider locing my hair ,glad this popped up on my recommended.
This was sooo helpful. I have been a natural sister for several years and I'm thinking about getting locs. My mom got locs about 5 years ago and she loves them. Her hair is beautiful! Thanks again for this video. I had not factored in anything that you mentioned before watching this video. ☺
You definitely gave great pointers. Now I have a direction that I would like to go once I start my Loc journey.
I’m so excited I’m locing my hair this Friday. My mom Already started her journey now I’m ready . I been natural for 5 years so now I’m ready
Ms KayMarie so excited my getting done this Saturday
Girlllll you definitely made this video for me . This video is so
Informative and gives me so much direction on how to start this process . Thank youuuuu❤️ Ooh you’re so freakin bomb the way !
Damn you are gorgeous
Thank you!
Yes but her voice is mad annoying, jesus
Shes SOoo pretty
She is beautiful! Her personality shines! Btw starting my loc journey 2mrw. Cant wait! Thanks for the info!🤓
@@arnb8907 don't watch her then
I started my first set of locs with interlocking at the root and I had to take them down because of holes. Please practice first if you’ll be interlocking your hair. It might not seem hard but when you are trying to do it yourself it can be. Loved the tips.
Naturally Malika oh wow! I’ve never tried interlocking! Thank you for sharing for those that may be considering interlocking!
That video helped me alot because I'm thinking about starting my locks very soon
Ive been debating on locking my hair for 2 years thank you for this
I just got my starter locs 😩 she used the comb method. I didn't do my research. I just got tired and went to get my hair locked. I actually want mine to look the way yours look. I like the loose free look. I'm going to see how my hair does in the next 6 weeks before I go back. I'm not mad but a little disappointed at how impulsive I was. Regardless, I like all kinds of dreads, accept freeform. Soooooooooo, wish me luck on this journey. If i don't like it, I'll change it.
I needed this video. I started with the two strand method. Two weeks later I combed my hair out because i didn't think it would have gone right.
I'm bout to re-twist my 3b hair in a much neater way and use different hair products.
I just did my locks today after being natural for a while😤😁😍🔥it took me forever to decide.
You love them?
Im getting ready to join the loc community the only tip i want to add is dont just do it for style 2021 im doing alot of positive changes and i wanted my hair to reflect that change inner peace and self love
Hey Gall thanks for the video! Been contemplating on lock and I am Soo ready 😍😍😍
I combined some from 88 to 59. Now they're SUPER THICK!
Im a Selftaught Stylist , I Started My Locs As Of Yesterday ( November 18th , 2019 ) Here to Learn How To Instant Loc , My coil starter Locs 😊💞 Day 2 ... I’m excited !!
According to my family I had my FIRST mid-life crisis at the age of 30, when I dyed my hair neon pink, stretched my earlobes, and obtained 20+ tattoos. Now, at the age of 40 and a new job I've got to give up the pink. I settled for silver/grey, but have come to the decision... It's too tame! I've had dreadlocks on the brain since 2016! Now's the time...
Your locs are so pretty! 😍 i cant wait to get mine
Love your locs girl ! And thanks for the motivation def needed to hear that they won’t hang for awhile .. kinda got scared like why is my hair sticking up 🤣 at three months still lmao
I've been natural since about 2008, I started my twists this weekend, I've been wanting to lock my hair for YEARS and haven't done it, decided to look up some videos and you were #1 to pop up, I will be following and not sure on washing process nor really products to use that will be the BEST ... I knew I didn't want to do that wax tho! Lol! Big question!.... "Should I wrap my hair at night?" I have many hair types, My hair is thinner around the edges (much like a white girl) and thicker in middle, not super thick but a good medium thick I guess. Lol! I say I have about a 4B hair
Been natural about 10 years and REALLY considering it. I've started locs and did them for other people..so if I do I'll be doing them myself. Great video!
Tenetra me too I’m 10 years natural & ive finally decided to finally commit. Good luck on your journey
@@classydiva1983 thank you!! I wish you the same!! I twisted mine up Saturday and I'm so happy with my decision all ready
Hello, I’m considering locking my hair I’ve been natural for about 2 years now. My biggest concern is my thin edges as well as my thin soft textured hair. Will this be a good move for me. Not to mention I’m 56 years old should I take that leap honestly. Oh and I really enjoyed your video I had no clue of anything dealing with locs until your video, thanks for putting this info out their.
I've been transitioning for a year and 7 months and since January 2020 I've been keeping my hair in twists as a protective style (I couldn't book appointments with my braider during this time). I didn't know it was a way to start locs but come to think of it, it would always be matted every time I took them down 🤔😂. Now, with the encouragement of my cousin and a friend, I'm considering getting loc'd but I'm not yet fully convinced if and when I should get it done lol. Thank you for the video ❤
Thx so much I am ready for my loc journey 😊 this video answered questions I was curious about 😊
A month after viewing this video I finally made up my mind to start my locs thank you 💛🙃
Hey everyone! I'm in the research phase. I did my big chop in 2013. Been about that 4c fro life ever since. My hair is currently bra strip lenght. I've always admired locs and want to my next hair journey. I'm interested in sisterlocks, mirco, or extra small locs. Any tips not mentioned in this video?
I’m starting my locs this week, my hair is already long so this helped me. BUT I’m staring at you and not what I came here for 😂💙💙💙💙 😍😍😍😍🥰
OMG, Thank you so many of my questions were answered , and you are beautiful much love🥰🥰
Hello I have 4b super thick hair! I have an appt to start my loc journey in 2 weeks, I'm so excited! Natural for 8 years, big time product junkie, but I'm a lot better! Just ready to get my hair loc'd😊
YES THAT”S ME . I JUST CAME ACROSS YOUR VLOGS AND MY HAIR IS NATURAL BUT ITS THIN AND YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION TO MY LOC JOURNEY. THANKS
Hi, I'm the one doing research and thinking of locs. I've been thinking of it for years. I think I'm ready.
I’m that girl considering locking my hair. I’ve been contemplating it for some months now. A major problem for me is that I’m mixed and I have biracial 3b/3c hair and it’s hard finding anyone with my hair type to try and figure out what method and parting system that would achieve the look I’m going for.
Thanks for the advice, I plan on starting my lock journey. I am so excited.
Thanks you for the shot out to the Fellas lol your video was excellent
you give me Layton green vibes lol. Never the less you and your hair is beautiful. ❤️
thank you so much for this, I am seriously considering getting dreadlocks, so this video is helping me come to terms. I now see that It truly is a process/journey/commitment, so thank you.
I’m so scared , but I’m so ready too ..I’m only scared of the process
Me too
Same sis
I hear you, I was so scared of the process! I had natural hair and I didn't know if I'd be happy with locs, I kept putting it off, but finally I got them done and I love them! 🥰
My daughter will be getting her locs this Friday. She wants to do the 2 strand twist method. I’m glad that’ll be her choice to start with. I love the messy loc look 😍 What products do you use to loc your hair?
