1. Do thorough research on proper loc care so, you are not naive when incorrect information is given to you.
2. Avoid Buildup!
3. Be Careful and Cautious with Color!
4. Wait on hair accessories and styling (including bobby pins) Allow your hair to breathe and just be!
5. Have a healthy diet and stay hydrated!
6. Don't retwist too often! Wait at least 4 weeks!
7. Cover your hair with Satin and Silk! At night and under hats, wraps, scarves, turbans, etc.
8. Don't Fight the process, trust it!
9. Don't compare your journey to another's!
10. I guess I wasn't paying attention..... I missed something.
Thank you, because it was long and unnecessary.

"your locs tell a story" subscribed!
I love your tips!!! I'm about a month in and I'm loving the journey!! I have the biggest problem with researching too much then I'm stressing myself out lol but I'm low key extra. Love the locs!! Keep up the great maintenance!!!!
Update on your locs please?
This is so real and authentic and does not promise any false hopes, just real expectations... thanks for an awesome vid..
After watching your channel for many years I finally was comfortable enough to start my loc journey last week.
Thank you so much 😊
This video was very helpful. Just got starter locs yesterday. Looking forward to the journey! Thank you for this!
Congratulations on your new journey!!!🎉 So glad it was helpful 😊
I looooove your hair it is so beautiful... Just started my locs with two strand twists yesterday. I hope I can get mine as fluffy looking as yours in years to come
First off your hair is OMG!!! It's so pretty and getting so long!!! Great tips and wonderful information for the newbies and I'm sure this helped someone...Love!!!
Aww, thank you lovely! I appreciate you:)
thank you! most helpful advise i have seen so far about starting locs
Yes, I admire so many peoples hair right now...I want longer healthier locs...I'm getting there. Thanks sweetie!
Excellent tips!
I think not comparing one journey to another happens when one starts to really love their own locs and discover their hair's own uniqueness. at least..that is what I have experienced. Even when i first saw your videos, I remember I was like, I can't wait for my hair to thicken up like that. but my hair is soo different from yours and a couple months later, i have discovered beauty in my own hair type(s) loc sizing, locking pace, and so on.
Thanks for sharing and encouraging!
Hey M! This was an awesome comment, and I'm sure everyone will find it very encouraging! Thank you so much for sharing and being transparent! You and your locs are beautiful, and I know they will only continue to develop even more as the months go by:) Amen to us embracing and loving ourselves and our locs!
+Natural Nirvana Aww, I really appreciate your response and positivity!
I love your channel! I just started my locs and your channel is my favorite to watch and take tips from.
Such a detailed and inspirational video. Thanks for taking the time beautiful . Looking forward to more videos.
Naomi Awoliyi So glad it was inspiring:) Thank you beautiful.
It really sucks how she had to emphasis and state she isn't a profesh in locs because she knows what the internet would say
Amaree Williams ????
I thought the same thing. Giving your opinion on a public platform can be comment suicide.
Or she can be giving a disclaimer for legal reasons. So someone cant say they took her advice n it caused their hair to fall out n sue her.
Tkeyah Nicole yes that’s true as to why she could of said
thank you for the tips i just started my locs n u help to just let me know that there goin to be ugly days n cute days but i should love my hair no matter what so hope my journey goes well but i know im ready !!
Yay! My pleasure:) That's awesome! Your journey is as beautiful as you make it:) So proud of you!
I know how you feel I just started my locs on Saturday I feel so unattractive
I love your approach on locs I feel the same way ❤️💯
Such a great video! Thank you so much for these tips.
These tips are very helpful! Thanks a lot!!!
Love your video. You really gave good advise.😊
wow girl thanks very much I believe in all you're saying thanks for the true tips

Teaching why locs are important too your connection with mother gaga (earth) and our ancestors.

Hi. Thank you for the video. Helped a lot with my research. A quick question though. What would you recommend for athletes in the beginning stages of dreading up. Not too sure of what to do while play soccer where I sweat a lot. Let me know ASAP please. Thank you!! Hope to hear from you soon! Much love ❤️🌿🤙🏽
Hello,
I'll start my locs soon...
I was wondering how much locs do you have ? Just to get a general idea. Thank you.
love this! I just comb coiled Friday! I'm so excited and thankful for these wonderful tips!
Aww, yay!!!! How exciting!! Congratulations!! Thank you love:)
+Natural Nirvana yes I'm thrilled! thank you beautiful queens!
Yo my loctician told me to come back a month after my first loc...I look crazy as hell tho 🤣😭
Great tips Queen!
Thank you beautiful!
just started two days ago ... this was sooo informational Thank you !!!!!!!
awesome tips as usual thanks :)
Thank you!! Glad they were helpful:)
Hey I have starter locks my texture is similar to Lisa Bonnets lock do you recommend I watch someone I can't seem to find anyone on TH-cam with the same texture
Thanks guys. Your verbal tips are better than humming. It is a good thing for thoughts to flow.
What product do you suggest using on comb coils to begin locs? My stylists showed me this organic white clear looking gel I believe by organics but I'm afraid of build up.
Great advice
Hi, would you say leave your hair down when locking? I'm in the military. I have long hair. I have to wear it up. Ideas? Tips?
Great tips and great video!
Thank you Lasaan!
Natural Nirvana No problem!
I stumbled upon your page last night & was immediately hooked because of your energy, it's so refreshing. I've literally watched all of your videos 🙈 I've made the decision to lock my hair but I'm trying to decide if I want to do it now (my hair is right at my shoulder when stretched) or wait a couple months for a lil more length..i'd love to have your length but I'm sure it was way longer than mine 😩
Awww, you are so sweet and that truly made me smile! Thank you:)! Congratulations on your decision to start your loc journey!! How exciting!:) If you really want to start, I say start now!:) Your hair will grow:) As you can see from my older videos, my hair has changed a lot, in thickness and length since starting out. Be encouraged sis! Your journey will be as beautiful as you make it:) I fully support you!
+Natural Nirvana i agree your spirit is so plesent!!
Aww, thank you! Y'all are amazing!:)
+Natural Nirvana thanks so much for responding! I made an appointment for tomorrow 😳😁 I'm so anxious & excited! Thanks for the encouragement!
Aww, I'm so excited for you!! Keep me posted please:) No problem at all:)
What kind of gel would you recommend
Fine tips
Did you start your locs with the coil method or two twist ?
Great tips! Appreciate the videos. Your hair is a lot longer than mine even though I'm a month ahead of you 🤔 go figure lol I ain't even mad though
Lol. Thank you Doctor AfroLocs! Your locs are wonderful:)
I JUST CAME ACROSS YOUR VLOGS.. ? I JUST STARTED MY LOCS ON JANUARY 25 2020 AND MY HAIR IS THIN AND THE BACK HAVE ALREADY UNRAVEL WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Great video sis. You should add the playlist as a card to your video.
Thank you sis! Add the playlist as a card? I'm not sure what you mean. lol.
Under video manager, edit your video. See the headings, Basic Info.... Annotations... Cards. A card is adding a video/videos/playlist to your current video, so others can click on. Search "TH-cam Cards" for better instructions, lol. I hope this makes sense.
my hair is tick an :I'm starting my locs. this month wat should I do and I doing it myself.
I am thinking about starting my locs this month
tamara hill did you?
Can u use eco style in your edges to keep them down?
I love your hair. I just started my journey 2 weeks ago and am frustrated already lol my hair looks like I have 2 months new growth. I'll be retwisting tomorrow using clips bc I think that's where I messed up at. Then hopefully I can go at least 4 weeks without retwisting
Thank you Samara, and congrats on the start of your new journey! Did your locs unravel? What have you been doing to them in the past two weeks as far as taking care of them?
Only 2 in the front unraveled a bit. I just let them do their thing. I do tie them up every night with my silk bonnet. I remember you suggested that. I also spritz it with water and oil every other day bc I exercise 5 days a week.
Hiiii! What software do you use to edit your videos?
Thank you
The last tip was the most important.
So true!!!
What kind of locs you have?
now i know wat to do
I use bobby pins in my hair and I am one month in. Should I just leave the bobby pins alone for now. I only use maybe one or two
Okay I started my Loc journey May 24th, 2019. I’m starting with two strand twist and one of them unraveled in the back because my hair is soft in the back. What should I do ?
Twist it back.
Love you too ❤️
I just started mines three days ago does anyone know how long I have to wait to wash my hair ?? What products do I use for a moisturizer to hydrate ?
Ke Williams hey i dont know if its too late but i started mine a little bit ago too and i use a 1/3 part of rose oil, tea tree oil, and olive oil in a littl bottle and then i spray it on my hands and scalp and palm roll it. It helps with itchiness and puts down frizziness
how many locs do you have ?!?!
Lovely smile!
Thank you
So what to put in it
beeswax is a big thing out here in Sacramento, CA. what do you use to re twist your locs?
i use the jamaican lime products. i started with the wax but for my hair i needed more hold at the root. so 2 months later i switched to the gel that they make and it work great for holding and retwisting roots. my friend who freeformed used the creme wax. the oil that they have works well too. i do a rinse and retwist once a month. when i started i did a retwist every 3 weeks.
or flaxseed gel and fresh natural aloe gel
Alone Vera gel. Used ors lock gel recently and got a great result too. Just takes time to dry.
What can I use to get my locs thick?
N.b I got my starter locs today
Updates on what you used please?I started mine yesterday
my main lock coach just told me to twist them all together and keep them laid down with a rag so that I don't keep playing in them that way they will be strong when they get longer
Tre Benjamin Each person has a different way of doing things, but I don't recommend doing that. It's very restrictive for your locs. I would suggest allowing your locs to be loose, and doing as little manipulation as possible (I.e not a lot of styling). The natural budding process will occur and your locs will be stronger without the constant manipulation.
+Natural Nirvana I feel you on letting them be loose I am not able to cover them at work so I have to find someway to cope with the baby dread phase I'll let you know I'm doing mad research on the web and with dread heads around
Does anybody know if I can two strand twist my hair to lock it?
yes, but you def need to do research if you didn't know that.
if you do this method i recommend having it for 2 months and then use the crochet method to combine the strands. i started with single twists and crotched after 3 months, but the crotche was the most helpfull thing.
Yes you can and my hair started budding within 2 months
Can I have your opinion? If so do you think its good to start my locs with the afro kinky two twist because i have short have like little abouve shoulder length i dont like the short look.
Hey Shawny! Honestly, I don't think it's a good idea to start locs with any type of added hair. If you really don't want to start your journey with shorter locs, I would suggest you wait until your hair grows out more. But be mindful that when you have locs, your hair will shrink because it's natural hair. Best of luck on your journey hun!:)
+Natural Nirvana Thank you very much for the responce. :)
You're welcome love:)
What size do you have
Baby girl got a retwist 😀😄 .... Hell yea way too long I'm ready to get my retwist so bad 😂😂 I tie my hair with a durag but I put it in a ponytail when I do so am I not supposed to do that?? since the ends be all over the place lo
Lol! I know you hair is longer in length, but instead of putting it in a ponytail at this point (because they are starter locs) maybe you can try getting a loc sock, or a long enough satin hair scarf that will cover your locs and keep them in place. In my turban tutorial video I showed the scarf that I use to tie my hair down. Maybe something similar to that may work for you:)
+Natural Nirvana lol yea I had a scarf like that but it was extremely short. . but if I do decide to get it I would jst have to learn to wrap it around my head.. it may seem simple to some but feel like a maze to others lol
I'm 3 months in I got a question can u sleep on your locs while there budding?
i sleep on mine but the retwist stays longer if the're wrapped up. so i usually wait a week or 2 after a retwist before i sleep on them without wrapping them. the occasional nap or slumber without shouldnt be too bad.
Ok I just sub to you sub back if you can and stay loc'd!
what was ur experience with bleaching?
I'll be having a video on this topic:)
Picks up nearest bottle of water 😂😂😂
what the best way to start locs twist or with the twist comb?
Great question! I will be uploading a video about that topic this upcoming week, so stay tuned:)
This is a great but complicated question. I think it depends on your hair type, how you want your hair to look and loc until they mature. I recommend watching loc videos that determine the benefits of comb coils versus two strand twists. There are quite a few out there. There is a girl (whose name i cant remember) who actually did an experiment where she did a two strand twist on one side of her head and a comb coil on the other, and compared it across several months.
if you did such an experiment on you hair, that may be the most helpful in showing you what to expect.
Personally, my coarse hair was started with coils, but I there were 3 locs with a looser curl pattern and I ended up redoing them with two strand twists braided on the ends. those locked faster but 3 months later you can still kinda see the twist pattern.
Hope this helped
I agree M! The video that I will be doing is not going to be telling anyone what method is best, because it's personal and unique to each person and their hair type. I will more so be addressing the different ways one can start, why I started mine the way I did, the pros and cons, and encouraging others to do what works for their hair:)
M
Receding hairline is almost always genetic. Great info though!
Would I get build up if I just use water and oil mixed together everyday?
I just got mine yesterday lmao
you have allott of locs im suprised there is no congos.
Is “eco style olive oil “ bad ? 🤔
Ali WayTV wouldn't recommend it. When I was a loose natural, the olive oil eco style gel caused a lot of flaking. It'll cause buildup and it's not easy to wash out. Use more natural products like flax seed oil eco style gel (never use wax!) or MAYBE argon oil gel (it depends).
Great lips
lol
i dated this girl wheni first twisted my hair. she was known around school for twisting and retwisting peoples hair. when i first started i did research but was curious about her experience. she complained about clients having dirty hair and using the wrong products. so i asked what do you use for retwisting and to my dismay she said the black gel that i lay my hair down with. this was the weirdest thing ever because she didnt see anything wrong with it. later, i found out she never actually knew/learned about dreads. so she was going around promoting her skills, when she actually had less knowledge then i. i feel sorry for those 12 people who where her clients. i started and maintained my own locs for 4 months from watching youtube and reading about product, most dread stylist i run into ask me who did them because they look healthy.now ive wisted 2 of my friends.
rodney cole JR. hey what did you actually use to start your locs? i want to use the tropical roots firm locking gel.
Nisha M I was using Jamaican mango and lime gel with tea tree oil. Now I use aloe Vera hair gel and a mix of coconut and tea tree oil. This is because I like how the mango lime works and look but it seemed like it was making my head itch. It could have been that I didn't oil my scalp much. But you should acv rinse your hair after 2 retwists to prevent build up. I usually retwist every 5 weeks and I'll twist, acv with twist, twist, acv twist. That's worked well for me
You are a vegetarian!
Your video is way too long you're talking way too much please stay on topic I would've loved to hear what you had to of said
Christopher Lewis With all due respect, you don't have to watch 😊. There are hundreds of others who have been helped with the information provided. It's ok if it's not your cup of tea though 😊.
Natural Nirvana wow... You're so respectful of peoples opinions! A great human being
