- It's time I come clean to the #CongoFamilia on what lead me to #CuttingMyLocs.
As some of you know, I'm regrowing my 2nd set of #FreeformLocs and I want to outline what you can do to avoid making my mistake- and end up cutting off your locs too soon!
Don't be like me, make the same mistakes, and cut your #Dreadlocks off in a panic..... #LocTransformation #Locs

I started my first lock journey 10 years ago when I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. I had been researching it for a while and so the first time I was admitted into a mental hospital, I twisted and ripped my hair. I'm on my 6th set of locks now and I've had these for a little over 2.5 years. I could never commit. Mentally, I haven't felt this stable since even before I was diagnosed. And this set of dreads is a keeper. They're free form but I separate them and now that I'm finally correctly medicated I have been caring for myself and my dreadlocks well. My mom is even starting to like them. Lol.
On a side note: I'm not ashamed of my illness or afraid of what people think. I like to bring awareness to the subject of mental illness and show people that I am not so different than they are.
Being 15 you inspire me. I got in trouble with the law and now Im on probation. This made me count my blessing even more. I wanna grow my freefroms and my reasons is standing out from my generation and make it a new chapter of my life. They took off all charges. And I feel like growing out the freeforms with help me mentally,spiritually, and physically. This is my first chaper. My chapter of freedom. Freedom from toxicity. Freedom from drugs, achohol, etc. you have inspired me. I will use all your tips from your videos and make sure my freeforms grow out long, healthy, and swaggy. Im going to be a dreadhead in a suit one day. Mark my words. ❤️🩹
i grow free form because i like staying weird, I like it when people look at me and are surprised, some just have that look of disgust and shock but i really don't care, infact i love the attention it draws
Also, you gave me so much confidence to pursue the job that I wanted. They hired me the same day of my interview and I’ve been working their for a full month now. I’m a 19 yr old with a septum piercing, gauges, and a beautiful free crown.
My dude KidDelirious! Love you and love hearing this man. Ya'll give me the confidence to keep up with the updates brother. Keep standing strong and being you my dude - Happy to hear about the job landin too!
Yep I'm growing freeform dreads too. It might help as a focusing anchor. No more combing this 4C nightmare
This video was a TRAP 😩😩 started off laughin but ended up teary eyed 💀
I started June 1st of last year, and I had just graduated college that May, so I wanted to start locs as a way of “telling time” as I sorta embarked on this journey of being a brand new adult... kinda like how u can tell how old a tree is by looking at its rings. I’m liking how freeform locs sorta “mirror” life-my hair is at a point where I can look in the mirror and start to kinda-sorta predict how it might grow, but at the end of the day everything’s uncertain and my hair can go in a direction I’m not expecting. Other reasons include me wanting to better embrace my 4c hair in its natural state, wanting to learn to care less about what other people think of me, and simply appreciating the aesthetic.
Celeste! Always happy hearing from you! Hahahaha I didn’t meant to make you down! Haha but your story is mad inspiring ❤️ literally all the same reasons I started growing my locs - how long are you now growth wise? It’s a daily struggle putting others opinions behind ya but the calluses from worrying about what other people think build up quickly and soon you will give zero f***s! Haha happy for you Celeste!
@@DOMIBOY thank you! 💛 Length-wise even tho my hair strands are collar-bone length now, I have MAD shrinkage so it’s *just* long enough to put into a bald-girl ponytail if I really tried 😂 the congos at the top of my head are like almost 2in tall now, and the back of my head is finally starting to loc up. U ain’t lyin about other people’s opinions 😩 it’s hard standing ur ground sometimes. I’m glad to be part of the Congo Familia 😂🙏🏽 ur locs are lookin awesome and thanks for the awesome free-form content that’s not “HoW tO gEt FrEeFoRmS INSTANTLY 🤯”
@@celestelindsey8522 yeah the shrinkage make me seem like my hair is really not growing and it also kinda makes it easier to maintain it,.
Because x was my favorite rapper and had fire freeforms I’ll never stop growing them Bc x was my reason to do it
RIP #respect it my brother ✊🏾
Starting because of him hope my hair will grow
Lmaoo ayooo all congo freeform ting aside, you really funny as hell broo😂😂 First 5 secs into ya vid & I'm already cracking tf up!! You might wanna consider doing skits & what not king💪🏾... Much love familia👑
Big up!! Hahaha Thank you bro - appreciate you saying so man. The future has many possibilities. May take you up on that suggestion one day! hahaa Thanks for watching man #Respect
Good video my FREEFORM brother! The reason why I’m free-forming is to express myself through my marriage. Everyday isn’t bad or sunny, it’s an adventure. My freeform locs display who I am and who I want to be within my household.
Love this ✊🏾🙌🏾appreciate you sharing bro. Couldn’t have said it better- gotta enjoy all of the unexpected on this adventure man
The part of “people not seeing your wealth, intellect, accomplishment (and depression)” is the EXACT same justification I gave myself so that I can cut my dreadlocks.
Now I am on that journey again, more confident in myself and my self image
I related to this story so much! It really hits home because I cut my first set of locs for the same reason you did. It felt like I took back control of my life when I cut them. Was never sure when or if I’d grow them out again and now i just hit my one year mark on my 2nd set. This time the growth on this journey feels so special and im happy to sit back and reflect on where im at. One door closed for another to open up.
Aye I appreciate your testimony I’m on my 2, 3 set of locks and did not think of free from. After watching your video and channel I want to go for it. In a point of cash flow is low and I cut my last set cuz of depression and situational shit I was in and I felt I lost myself when I lost them and was my happiest with myself with my hair not them so I appreciate u pushing and letting people know the steps and what comes with it
Thank you for keeping it real & opening up. Only those who reach that moment of genuineness can & will be vulnerable from the core of who you are on this journey of life.
This was an awesome video! Love the story. I’m starting my locs because I want to let my hair grow in the way it wants to grow and learn to embrace what the result is.
You deserve way more followers! Thank you for giving me the confidence to start my free form locs. I've only been growing out my hair for about 4 months. I've JUST now start learning how to take care of my hair THIS month.
Had my last haircut (4 months growth) a year ago cause I needed a job. I went for the interview and didn’t still get it. Promised myself I’d never be pressured by society again. I might make a video at one year next month
We appreciate your testimony 💜🦋
Brotha this has to be one of if not the REALIST video that I needed to see! I watch alot, im a TH-camr all day everyday stroller and find alot of good videos but this one really hit home? I have Locs down to my waist side but going freeform lets see what happens. Keep doing what your doing.
The intro is funny as hell😂😂😂😂😂. Great personality
Talk about random...I cut off my first set of (15 year old) dreads in the bathroom one afternoon at the law firm where I worked at the time. I was at a personal and career crossroads but I wasn't aware until years later. I feel ya. I find myself at another crossroads sitting here in a Starbucks watching your video (mentally) starting my next set.
You have a awesome personality bro sending you positive energy! Keep leveling up ✊🏿
Sending it right back to you 🙌🏾✊🏾🙌🏾 appreciate you king!
I let my dreads grow because I wanna be in touch with my spiritual self
Me too..am proud to be natural
Huh? Be in touch with god imma send you to him if you want
Beautiful and relatable video!
Yo bro I’m loving the transparency I needed this video I’m currently 2 weeks into my journey
Full video
After 40 years of "fixing" my hair. I finally gave up and let my hair win
King, I love it when u said growing ur hair don’t make u deep.. lol that’s very true.. I started growing my hair back in 2012, only because I didn’t feel free... I wanted to break all of the stigmas that people (society) tried to place on me... This past weekend I decided to make a transition from traditional locs, to thicker locs (Wics) if u will. Since doing so, I have fallen in love with my CROWN even more.... BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, REMEMBER TO LOVE YOURSELF, EMBRACE YOURSELF, CROWN YOURSELF AND KEEP GOING... PEACE AND LITE
Full video for sure.
Also. Started my journey last summer after the protests. Being biracial and high, high yellow has always been weird. Caught between passing and over racist bs. It’s my way of rejecting both and just being excited to be me, my heritage and my spirituality.
Love the vids. Sub for sure
I love this man. You def have a hard path to walk and in some extremely complex cultural times. Happy you found a way to power through it bro #Respect #Muchlove Wishing you blessings on blessings man! Appreciate you taking the time to watch
Great one man!
Noti Gang. Your videos got me looking for a better me and growing a sweet crown. I appreciate you Domi
Happy to hear it my Noti brother! ✊🏾 appreciate you too my man- wishing you many many many of blessings on the new journey king 👑
I love your videos bro and you’re hilarious!! I’ll definitely subscribe.
Just coming home from work to a video from my fav guy!
Hope you enjoyed it Brother!!
This video dope AF, and REAL
Beautiful video man
this was such a beautiful video
Thank you for this ❤
This was really deep. That's what the journey is all about 😏.
I really needed this man. I started my journey a yr ago with a purpose but alot happened since and I kinda lost track of why I started freeform in the first place.Now I remember & imma keep going strong.
As we say in East Africa, Asanti sana))
Ashanti sana - like that. Appreciate you watching and happy to hear I was able to help in some way brother. Wishing you the best ✊🏾
yo shout out from east africa as well, madready lazima zichanganywe.
2 seconds in and I was LOL 😂
Domi your acting & humour is golden. Consider acting bro.
Lol this guy! Great video
i’m growing mine as self growth and for spiritual growth !
Great video bro
Thanks brother ✊🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
i’m also depressed and disabled during this pandemic and was interested in freeform locs bc unlike a lowcut they’re meant to be maintained without tools like clippers
Oh my gosh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that intro was unbelievable hilarious! Did you major in theater in college?
Full video please! Also I'm still deciding whether I actually wanna do them or not. The reason is that...mahns I'm over the maintenance, having natural hair(I have 4c) can be a full time job especially the detangling / blowingdrying process, plus the top of my scalp is so sensitive it feels like as soon as I touch it it's painful! I love my hair tho, and I dont wanna lose it, it will be me just letting go and focusing on other areas in my life hey.
LoL I love this guy!
Love you too! Haha appreciate you watching
@@DOMIBOY 😆🤩🤩🤩
such a beautiful post
OMG ITS THE WEEK ENDDD
Growing my freeforms because it feels so natural

You are like the 360 jezzy of locs 😂
Locs looking good..
That rap song slaps bro.
Bruh you funny fr
How did you get your locks like that did you weap them tie them or some other way im trying to get mine to look like that.
Was about to twist mine lol
my coworkers ask me if my boss doesn’t pay me enough cause i look crazy to them with my hair and i just laugh at them for being ignorant
I would love to see the rap video
Yo what type hair you got? 4a/4b/4c?
For ur first journey did you use rubber bands if so how did you rubber band them
Nope! No rubber bands, I did use them to tie my hair back in ponytails but none to lock dreads together!
DOMI CONGOS for night time did you just use the satin pillow case? Or did you put it in a ponytail in a dreadcap?
😂😂😂
I would recommend you look into fast hair growth shampoo to double hair growth.
If I didn’t do jiu jitsu I’d grow some
I thought you look familiar. Who do you look just like? AIRRION LOVE from THE STYLISTICS. Perhaps you know I can't give you anything but my love. Tell me if you see the resemblance.
you have a ig so i can dm you?
