    I've finally decided that locs are for me. Tired of wondering what's the next hairstyle and desiring for my hair growth Studied the process, now I'm ready. Can't wait to see my outcome.

      @Bonita Sharpe I totally agree with you. I felt the same way. I got my hair coiled a month ago. I went back a second time & I’m pleased with the outcome so far.

    The lifestyle question is soooooooooo important!!!! I thought about it for years when I was at a company that wouldn't have been favorable to the early growth and changes that locs go through.....to the point where I got a new job in the hair care/beauty industry so I could go through my journey unbothered. Now, I'm a few weeks in, with all it's fizzy glory, alllllll up in the Zoom calls and it is the best decision I EVER made!!

    My loc's are now 17 months old (the teenage stage). I'm having fun with them 😊 I have been going to a location every two months but this time I'm waiting 3 months. I have not really tried to retwist my own hair. I have a nice amount of new growth. I have ordered the interloc tools. I used the whole line of products from Loc God by Nia in New York (also I used Jojoba, coconut, and vitamin E oils). I'm proud of my loc's now. I am 68 and they mingle grey. Just Royal. I like the way you explain how to care for them myself. I need your help to keep me going on my 2 year commitment. I know I will go longer with your help. 👑🌹👑

      Same here. I did my second big chop in February. I really want to learn to take care of my loose natural hair before committing to locs. I want to be on my own loctician because of COVID and I am scared of those "wanna be locticians". I love Courtney's videos, I have learned a lot. I wish I lived in the US so she could start them. 🙂

    Love this video. I’m a Licensed Master cosmetologist who offers retwists and starter locs services. I just started my loc journey yesterday. I was weary about how I would look with locs, tried coils 20 years ago but I have 2b in the front so it didn’t work out back then. I grew tired of wearing weaves & braids & wanted to give it another shot. This time I chose the two strand method. Your video was very informative as it reassured me that this is the way to go.

    I started my son's with interlocking and I absolutely love it! He's 4 years in and so cute and easy to maintain. I'm thinking about restarting my journey, when I started it I had the coils because my hair is really soft and curly and I really didn't like it. I'm thinking two strand twist with interlocking to restart.

  • @fatdesne
    @fatdesne ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I’ve contemplated starting my journey for years and I’m finally ready for them. I was told that mine may take a long time to loc up due to my soft texture so I just may start in the fall so I can cover it to help them do their thing!😊

    Thank you for this, I've recently decided I want to begin my own loc journey. I'm kinda sure on the parts I like but I'm open to all information, kindly speak more on the methods of starting locs esp 'instant locs'. I'm trying to avoid any gel or wax or anything that causes buildup but still have a nice stable foundation for my locs.

  • @neqneq9695
    @neqneq9695 หลายเดือนก่อน

    @CourtneyGrayton I have been thinking about getting locs for a while now. I started doing research on Google about them and started wondering if locs would be a good choice for my hair type. I have very thin hair. I know most people with locs have thick hair.
    I then researched on whether or not twists would be better for my hair type. That’s when I found your video twists vs locs and in that one u suggested to watch this video first to ask yourself questions about which journey to take or whether it is something u should do.
    I’m the type person who hates doing her hair. As of right now, it short. All natural. I just don’t like to be bothered with it, which is why I wanted the locs. I understand now that there is some maintenance to be done with having locs as well.
    As I said before, my hair is really thin. Mostly because of using relaxers back in the day. I workout often and tend to sweat a lot so I’m not sure if getting locs or twists would be worth it.
    What do u recommend for someone like me? Would twists be better or interlocs (don’t know much about those)? I just want to make life easier for me and not have to do my hair on a daily basis. Thanks for the videos. Hope to hear from u soon.

  • @CandiceCarrington-Davis

    Please do a video on sizing. I am considering this journey. I started locs in 2019, but took them out early 2020 because I was not happy with my look. My hair is fine with a loose curl pattern and has some balding spots. Can my hair type wear locs?

I’ve been loc’d for 7 months, started with relaxed ends that I would curl. I workout alotttttt and didn’t realize it was the sweat unraveling them! I cut most of the relaxer off today and started interlocking them! This little tool is not for the faint… my fingers are on fire 😔

    Thank you for your videos. I have binged three already and feel much more educated. I had locs during the comb coil and beeswax generation. The only other alternative was Sisterlocks which I couldn’t afford. Now with so many options my biggest problem is finding a stylist to start the process. (One stylist wanted me to cash app $30 just to schedule a consultation.) I love your questions we should ask ourselves because I have grappled with these questions myself.

I never cream my hair before I am natural hair with mixed with half Indian and jamaican culture. I know it's going to take my hair long to loc because of my pretty texture. I am ready, kind nervous.

    Thank you so much for these videos! I’m hoping to start my locs very soon and on my own. For the two strand twists, do they need to be twisted a certain way? Like clockwise etc?

    I'd love to hear about the different sizes to start with. My boyfriend want locs and I plan on doing them for him. So any tips would help for a beginner loctcian. (By the way I have 0 knowledge in locs just learning for him possibly a hobby. I want to be good at it though not just doing it to do it.)

    I really want locs , thick locs. But I am a beach baby and go to the beach like everyday especially over the summer. I just don’t know if it will be worth it. I don’t want my locs to smell like mildew but I know my hair would constantly be wet everyday, yeah I can blow dry it everyday but I’m not sure. Advice?

    looking for some insight please!
    I've got 3c texture and I want to loc my hair with the intention of brushing them out in a few years. I love the idea of locs, but I also know I will want my big curly hair back.
    I know locs are not intended to be taken down, so bear with me, just wondering if there are any tips for the best methods to retain length and minimize breakage while hair is loc'd? thank you

    Thank you so much. I'm a 66 year old black woman. I just started single plating my hair just to go to work everyday, I didn't realize how my hair waa growing so fast cos I waa wearing a wig and did not have time to do my natural hair, all of a sudden I was not aware how long that my real hair was growing so fast when I started paying it attention,it had grown 22 inches in less than 2 years and finally like locked up. I went to get it fixed finally and it was beautiful, however I don't know what to do now since I don't want this type of style anymore please help. I have so much new growth and to go back to this beautician will cost me a lot of money. Please help tell me should I cut it off or tell me what should I do.. Love my hair ❤😅

    • @CourtneyGrayton
      @CourtneyGrayton  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If it’s locd there’s not much to do but either cut them or comb them out. If I were you I’d probably just start getting retwists

    Hi Courtney Grayton..what advice you can give for someone that have started their loc journey and they had a little perm left on the ends to help maintain it daily such as what oils and how long will it take for the perm hair to look like the natural hair...any advice would help thanks!
