Started my loc journey yesterday with 2 strand twist I’m so excited to get to at least 6 months
I know how you feel but time will fly by especially after a few month....congrats on starting your loc journey 😊
I also started my locs two strand twist June 11th. Still have a lot to learn
It’s 6 months let me see
Let's see them
What’s your IG? It’s been seven months. 👀
My sister has sister locs and my sister-in-law and daughter-in-law have dreads, they’ve been trying to convince me to loc my hair for at least 4 years now. I’m like nope because I don’t want to go through that awkward phase and I love changing my styles.I general wear my hair in two strand twists, Havana twists, spring twist, and various updos. Anyway 3 minutes into your video, I’m now convinced. Going to start my locs with 2 strand twists. I can’t thank you enough for this video and I will be following your loc journey as a new subscriber. BTW your makeup is natural looking and flawless. You’re beautiful.
First off...your comment made my day!!!! Second, I am beyond happy that you have decided to get locs. PLEASE keep me updated and stay encouraged on your journey....its so beautiful and very much worth it. Thank you for subscribing to my channel. Best of luck on your journey😊
Could you use aloe vera gel on locs?
@@denisembelu7421 Occasionally I use aloe Vera on my youngest son’s hair. Not so much for the retwist, but to provide a barrier from the sun.
Yes, I definitely embrace the frizz! I take it as a sign that my locs are progressing normally :).
I just twisted my locs, by two strands. Third set. I cut them, enticed by straight styles. Couldn’t find a stylist. Bad vibes with stylist. I wore wigs not feeling comfortable. I had a horrible straight hair journey. I feel like I was meant to be a loc wearer. Because everything failed. 2 days in. I’m happy and love my twists. We were mean to be together. ❤️
This is loc journey is definitely a learning process for me. I have hand in hair syndrome and my hair and scalp have been dryer than my social life 😂. But I've been trying something different to help. ACV diluted in water to treat itchy scalp before shampooing. I'll massage that in and wait about 10 minutes then I'll shampoo. And after shampooing I'll make sure to apply oil to my scalp and hair while still damp. I'll blot the excess water from my hair to help with air drying. So far it working. You're right about less products. My staples now are shampoo, oil mix and rosewater. No styling for me. If I want to get fancy, I'll put on a Headwrap.
not dryer than your social life. 😂
Great advice!
where do you get your headwraps from....I've been looking for some to wear?
Hello!! 4 years since original post date and you're still encouraging folks on their loc journey! I will be starting my 2nd set of locs very soon using the 2 strand twist method with braided roots!! I'm excited to see and experience this new loc journey!!
i started my locs not to long ago by using two strand twist. i braided my roots and twisted the rest :)
I'm going to try that✍🏾
Does it work by braiding the root have done the same
I did the same n I’m nervous it won’t turn out good
Works really good, no unraveling for me.
I have a lot of frizz but I like it.
I have 2 years worth of hair growth but I’m 2 months in twist now.
Usually I switch between braids n twists but this time I’m considering letting them lock
Just started my loc journey with 2 strand twist here I go!😆
I started on 6/7, too! Yay!
Cherie JeVae ayeee hows it going so far?
Same yesterday give me strength I just want locks already
What products did you use to start?
How is it
I officially started my two strand twist loc journey today. I’m excited 🥰
yayyyyyyyy best of luck to you!!!!
Thank you!
This was so helpful I started my locs with two strand twists about a month and 2 weeks ago so a lot of what you’re saying in this video I’m experiencing so thank you ☺️
I started my locs with two strand twists too and now I’m 2 years in! I love em! ♥️
Pictures pleaseee
@@SalymahIV ratio
This is a good and informative video! I'm glad there is no music, and you are kind to answer so many questions that people post!👍🙂great job sis!
Thank You!
Hmm. That part about bunching is really interesting. Didn't think about that. I'm 6 months in. Started with the two strand twist. And I just left them alone. I actually like my bunching. Gives it bumps and character. I don't want my locs to be too neat and uniformed. So I guess it all depends on your aesthetic.
Started Mines Yesterday With Two Strand Twist A Lil Scared But I Think I'll Make It ! Thanks For The Tips !
Yes to reduced products!! I have like 12 jars of things I gotta give away and I'm loving it 😹🙌🏾
I just locked my hair in 2 strands 2 days ago my first appointment is in a month for hair wash the loctician was impressed she said I did excellent. Wish me well in my journey and ty for the tips.
Thank you. Literally just two strand twisted my hair late last night then found your video. This is a good sign 😘
First off had to sub secondly I’m 8 years natural with some thick coarse 4C hair. My hair is pretty long and I wanted to do this method of locs especially since I do two strand twist. I’ll be getting mines done later next month. Very excited. Gonna keep them in for a year unless I just wanna keep them liner or forever.
I’m 7 years natural and I called around to see how much it would cost to loc my almost waist length hair and most salons told me 200 up 😳😂 I’m going to the salon that washes hair that’s included a couple said 15.00 for washing my hair so atlest I can tip LOL
Thanks for sharing your experience! Your hair is lovely
Thank you so much for this... I am definitely starting my locs journey this month!🥰
You just gained a subscriber
Thanks for sharing this information. I started with two strand twists on July 8th and I’ve had more frizzing than I can handle lol. It’s coming along but this has helped.
JUST STARTED TODAY! Thanks for the tips and lesson. Forever grateful
Hi, I’ve watched this video Over and over for three months. Okay I was convinced to start my loc two months ago cos I love love your hair. I just got my hair twisted and I haven’t done anything to it. There are not many videos that explain to people doing locs themselves. I’m in that awkward phase of my hair looking messy. Today I decided to take it off because I don’t know if it will be locs at the end. I even started wearing a wig to work. Then your video popped up again. I hope you read this and give tips on how to cope with that Phase. Thank you for this video xxx
I literally just started my loc journey, and im excited.
Shalamar Thomas I’m highly considering it , but I have a round face , but I’m gonna start with 2 strand twist first .
I just want to make sure it fits my face
@@sharecianewsome3935 i also have a round face as well. I think you should try faux locs to try it out. Thats what I did.
@@sharecianewsome3935 round face too lol and I'm nearly at the 4month loc'd mark. Ignore the insecurities you feel now, your journey will make you truly love yourself flaws and all. Since starting I've gained confidence, stopped using makeup to feel "attractive" and embraced my beautiful hair. Everyone's journey is different but it'll take you on a spiritual journey to loving yourself!
I just started my 4 year old locs with two strand. I’ve had my locs for 4 years and they’re down to my bra strap in the back. I started mine comb coil and some two strand but I’ve noticed the two strand twist ones are thicker
You have just comvinced me to start my 2nd loc journey 🤔
Thank You 😊❤
Same textures like me. Calm in the front, crazy in the back
Dammit woman I’m not patient at all 🤣 but I’m going to stick it all the way through
Started them last night so ready to finish today, i knew i had to do it myself cuz im realll particular bout the parting sizes
I have an appointment on 5/14/19 to start locs and I am sooooooo nervous 😬
I have been natural for 8yrs (big chopped once) and have not had the growth I desired. The shrinkage is so real!
I’ve tried weaves, braids, updos and am over trying to figure out how to style my hair daily.
I’m looking forward to less maintenance but I’m more nervous about the process. I had the same feelings about wearing my natural hair and I do love my coils...however, I’m ready to loc it up and embrace a new journey! Pray my strenf 🤣
Girlllll, you took the words right out of my mouth. This is exactly how I was feeling. I will send my prayers up for you now lol! Don’t be nervous about your installation day. As long as you provide your stylist with very specific details about how you want your locs, you won’t leave unsatisfied. Good luck 👍🏾
What method are you starting with?
I O.K correction; my start date was 3/20/19 and I started with 2 strand twists. I am loving the journey!
This is literally where I'm at right now! Did the big chop 7 years ago and was expecting a huge afro by now but it's just not happening.I decided today to get locs. I hope it's all working out for you?
Elle Vit Belle yesssss! I am definitely loving the journey! At first I was like my hair might be too thin, but it is forming well. I’m at the bunching stage 😂 my only disappointment is that I didn’t do it sooner! Good luck on your journey...TRUST THE PROCESS!
I came back to say I started three days ago semi freeform! Your video encouraged me to just go for it. Thank you for your videos!
Starting my locs TODAY! 😁😎
Yayyyyyy congrats to you!
Love the vid I’m two weeks on mines and had to hear this information
Thanks a lot. This was definitely very helpful and I think it’s confirmed my decision. Still doing research but I really want to commit to this. I’m anti-product junkie as it is so that part sounds excellent. Also, the part where I get to stop detangling is my favorite part about locs. Lord knows I’m all alone for that crap. Thank you!
You’re very welcome. I’m glad it was helpful. Yeah not detangling and doing my hair everything is the biggest thing that won me over!
When I started my locs I French braided the root and twisted the rest she at the end French braided it so it wouldn't come down and haven't had any come down😏
This is a good tip, do you palm roll or interlock?
DeeAndrea Roach good advice!!
Wonderful video! New subscriber.. I'm 6 months post big chop (shaved my hair completely off) and am considering locs. You offer such valuable information!
Thank you! Welcome to the family😍
I started my locs almost a month ago! This month has definitely gone by quick and I havent experienced much unraveling. I do need to figure out the best way to wash my hair though
Thanks so much this was very informative !!!I’m about a month in with my Loc journey and i start it off with two strand twist❤️😃
Can you please suggest a edge control for a starter loc that will not turn white !!
Started my locs yesterday with two strand twists
Congrats on starting your journey!
Kaila J THANKS
Starting my loc journey today!
Congrats. Best of luck to you😊
Started yesterday
Omg hey Kaila! 😍😍😍 thank you for the tips! I can’t wait to start my journey!
Thank you for this! I'm new and I currently have two strand twist. This was very informative--especially regarding frizziness. #subscribed
Thank you so much I sure did learn a lot, because I want to start my loc journey soon and you sure did give things that I should expect.
I started my loc journey w/ two strand twist yesterday.
How’s it been? Any unraveling? Itchiness?
jmaine smarts yes unraveling I just washed it 3 dats ago first time it had more unraveling so I retwisted and did a clip set but yes it was itchy before washing
Erin Kilpatrick
Do you love it yet?
Gabby yes I love it right now I have it In protected style with some box braids. I chose to interloc mine
i watched this video before i started my loc journey. i’m now coming up on my 5th month of my two strand loc journey on the 28th of this month (December). i can confirm the most difficult parts have been the shrinkage, bunching, and the unraveling mixed with the two strand pattern still pretty visible on some locs. overall i’m enjoying the process i just wish the pattern issue would go away lol.
Great video . I wear 2 strand twist a lot and just figured I should just keep em in locs greats things to know before I start
I feel like your hair should not be dry or itchy when you have locs, locs are just a different hair style you should still be conditioning your hair. I wash and condition my starter locs and when I shower I allow the humidity to moisturize my locs and after I put leave in conditioner and coconut oil in my hands and just run it through my scalp and hair. My hair is more moisturized than it has ever been before I started locs. I can cut down on wash days because my hair is not dirty and I live in HOTLANTA y'all
Almost 1 month in with strand twist 33 locs. Washing next week with a stocking cap!
That’s the stage I’m in just buying products I don’t even need 🙄
This video is awesome, so informative, thank you so much for spreading your knowledge! I have a question though. From what I understand, with two strand twist starter locs, they tend to swell, but after a couple of years do they still compact like other types of locsas well? Thank you!
So this is me embracing my 60th. My sister says I have that over night growing hair. I never really paid attention to my hair. I kept it clean and rocked whatever style that was in.
Then in my late twenties I had my hair relaxed for the first time. Not my thing though. So I did the big chop and loved growing my natural hair again. I am always cutting my hair and it grows back over several nights. So tonight I am starting my loc journey I will have buds by my 60th birthday. I am free forming kind of.
How's your journey coming along?
I'm 2 and a half weeks in my 2 strand twist locs. I washed it a few days ago and my hair has already shrunk above my shoudlers. My hair is bra strap length
That beginning shrinkage ain't no joke! I started with hair pass my mouth and at the end of my starter loc installation it was next to my forehead 😣😆. I'm nearly at the 4month mark now and my length is returning. Its longer at the back where my hair matured quicker and the front is now pass my eyebrows. #patienceiskey
Yes I agree...shrinkage is definitely no joke😩😖
Your hair is beautiful! Love it just as it is. I’m about to start my journey and trying to gather as much info as possible, even though I know a lot of it will be ‘you learn as you go’. Did you start the two strand twist yourself? Or did you have someone do the initial twist and then you just went about maintaining it from there?
Oh my goodness 1st let me.say u are beautiful 👑. I will be starting my loc journey within a month and it's a toss up between braid locs/ 2strand twist but you helpped clarify some things for me.. thanx
Just started my journey today w 2 strand twist... I look sooo awkward rn lmao but I cannot waitttt to see some progress 😩
I am tired of doing my hair. I've been natural for the last 9 years. I do very low maintenance styles. I've recently gotten to the point where I don't care if my hair is frizzy or out of place anymore. In my mind, locs are way less maintenance than loose natural hair. What is the level of upkeep to locs vs loose natural hair? Should I still expect to take hours to wash and style my hair?
My level of upkeep is 90% less than what was required of me as a loose natural. This percentage will depend on a variety of factors such as length of locs, new growth, maintenance (retwisting or interlocking) and overall health of your hair. But with all those factors taken into consideration it’s still a breeze compared to loose natural hair! I love it 🥰
Did you end up locking your hair? I feel it's like 99.9% less maintenance. I have extremely thick hair and I am not a hair person. Just do not have the patience and I don't care all like that, so locks are perfect for me. Still cute, still have length but not a slave to my hair.
@@AS-ix6bx I did not lock my hair. I've been wearing braids for the last year. I will say that regardless to styles that are deemed less maintenance you still have to upkeep the health of your hair. I have learned that and will do better from here on out.
@@23luvdoc aw why not? Yes you still have to do a few things if course but I drink a lot of water and only do basic stuff like oil scalp wash hair etc. I'm not real big on retwisting my hair all the time either bc I dont feel its necessary.
But whatever you choose, its great long as you're happy.
@@AS-ix6bx I have commitment issues and the fear that I might not like them. Idk. One day.
Oh my goodness! I thought there was something wrong with my locs. I have bunching on quite a few.
wow thaaaaaaaaaank you so much for this so informative and detailed video, i mean for this treasure.
love from cameroon
I started my 2 strand 3 weeks ago with shoulder length 4c. However my new growth is very frequent and obvious so I tried to retwist it myself with lock gel ORS. It didn’t work any advice/tips? ❣️
hmmmmmm, I dont know much about retwisting locs since I interlock but I have heard great things about Taliah Waajid Tight hold gel (it comes in an orange bottle) for people that retwist so maybe you can give that a try🤷🏽♀️ You may have to try a variety of products to see what works for you. If you are still not satisfied, maybe give interlocking a try. Hope this help, best of luck🤗
Thank you for your video. Just starting my loc journey. BTW what is your lipstick brand and color?
You'e welcome, I am glad you enjoyed it. The lipstick combo is Honey Luv lipstick, Chestnut lip liner, and Boy Bait gloss. All by Mac.
Starting my loc journey on Monday 7/6/20, excited and nervous 😜
Did you get your locs started? I'm starting mine 09/24/2020....
Yess the shrinkage is so true! I didn’t start with two strands just because I didn’t wanna see the two strand twist pattern in my locs. But if you look at like my first video to now, it looks way more stretched out lol. In my 6th month, I’m experiencing a lot of bunching in my locs as well, I just leave them like that tho lol. I didn’t even think abt pulling down. But Great video ❤️
Would banding the locs before washing prevent bunching? Also, yesterday I installed my two strand twist starter locs with water and oil only! Your vids help a lot.
Banding them may prevent bunching. That’s a good idea I never thought of doing that. Glad my videos are helpful😊 best of luck to you on your journey!
My siblings keep telling me I would look good with them and to go for it but I’m so scared.
Trust you’re gonna end up wanting them later 😂 don’t be scared
This video def help cause I was retwisting the hair every other day
My twists were done professionally, the woman was kind but She twisted them very tightly, like some senagalese twists. It feels like my hair isn’t really expanding as it should because of that tightness. Should I take out all my twists are re do them them looser for them to be thicker?
Thx u for being so detailed here. im 15 getting ready to begin my loc journey with two strand twists and now im even more excited. Ive been growing my hair out for the last 4 or so years because i wanted to avoid the "tacky/short" stage and now my hair in regular two strand twists comes down to the bottom of my face. Ive tried loc-ing before but the twists wouldnt hold but ive noticed my hair olds MUCH better two strand twisted. Anyways thank you for this video ❤
Great video! My son says the same thing as far as product’s oil and when he wash his hair he’ll use the moisturizer that comes with the shampoo and his hair is mid back. He also does a Apple cider vinegar detox for scalp health. I think it’s the same as our natural hair journey just not paying a whole lot of attention to the process and jus let it BE GREAT.. Well thank you for sharing your loc journey. 👍🏾🌹
I’m starting my loc journey as well!! Will you hair loc up if you jus run it through cold water ?
i started my locs yesterday with two strand twists ! i have 4c hair and i did them myself with kinda random parting so i hope they turn out nice !
i’m starting mine with two strands but i’m afraid it might look funny when it starts to lock up. I’ve wanting locks for a long time tho so i’m pretty excited
I've been thinking about locing my hair w/ two strand twist for a while. How would I start? Would I just put in regular mini twists, or would I have to go to a professional and get them done?
Rae Marie yes regular two strand
If that is how you wish to start your locs, then yes you can most definitely put in regular twists.
Kaila J thx ☺️
Started my journey today!
I started my locs on 01-08-22 with two strand twist I can’t wait till it grows and why would yall want to cut yall frizzes it gives the style more character
Hi Kaila,
I noticed how long your hair was before locs. Did you cut your hair or did they shrink? Your hair is very pretty!
Hey Shakeeya,
Yes I cut about 7 inches off before starting my locs!
Thanks alot for this information, I needed to hear this!
Do you interlock? I tried locs for 4mos last year and interlocked because i this it would be best for my hair type but I really want the look that palm rolling gives... I also want to start my own locs... I’m kinda anti stylists wen it comes to locs... I’m weird and believe hair holds energy... I very rarely let anyone touch my hair... I was going to try two strand twists this time... will they work if i just retwist the new growth and not interlock?
Yes, I interlock. I love the look of palm rolled locs as well. I started my own locs. I totally understand what you mean by being anti stylist. Everything holds energy, including hair! This is one of the reasons I wasn’t feeling my color or my first set of locs. The energy was ALL THE WAY OFF! For that reason and others, I don’t let anyone touch my hair. You can definitely install two strand twists and retwist the new growth. It will be beautiful either way. Good luck on your journey😊
Started yesterday!! Thank you for this video!!!
Great informative video!!! Stay Locd and stay blessed!!!
My hair is naturally rather thin. Do you advise I start locs at all? I am contemplating doing the two strand twist method to start mine at the beginning of 2022.
Did the same, I gave all of my products to my mom.
How long was your hair before the locks and how much did it shrink? Is it still shrinking months later?
you look cute with it. I'm about to twist my hair now lol. I wanna loc it so bad
Go ahead and loc it🙈
Interlock
Love this video
I gotta wash my hair tmrw. My hair itches 😭
How do I wash it without destroying my twists
And also when my hair grows, is it gonna grow under the twists? Or are the twists going to get longer
Beautiful locs.How soon after starting your locs were you able to do your first shampoo?
Thank you 😊 I shampooed my locs 2 weeks after I installed them with no problems
@@KailaJ Thank you for your reply.How many locs do you have?
What products did u use to start your locs? Like what gels did u use to twist it?
Sorry there is no sound for the intro...Just skip pass the first 10 seconds🤗
Diluting your conditioner with water is good if u want to use conditioner
I on my 3rd week of my two strand twist loc Journey
Just Tee&Zee how’s it go?
iicozy gaming it's going good almost a year.
So informative!! Thank you!
You're Welcome!
Tyty I am so glad I hooked in.
I have the same biggie sweatshirt lol ( the one with the baby and the afro
Can you get retwist before they are fully finished/locked
I just started mines today
But quick question what’s the appropriate length that you want to start your locs?
I'm in month 2 my twist always coming unraveled. I want to wash my hair so bad but I know I have to wait.
Does bunching result in bumpy locs? How diligent should I be about smoothing out those bumps?
Started my loc journey 1 month ago. I have 3c hair and my hair won’t hold thinking about interlocking.
I started with two strand twist as well and when they unravel I get so upset beacuse I feel like thats another day I have to start over so does it take longer if it unravels a lot? Also I wear it up alot is that OK or should I leave it alone?
I wouldn’t say it would take longer but that is a part of the process in the beginning stages. It could lock at the same rate as the others that haven’t come undone...don’t get frustrated!
As for wearing your locs up, I would suggest leaving them alone until they are more mature. This could slow down the locing process. Think about it: how can they loc and form together tightly if they are constantly being stretched🤷🏽♀️
