This is the ONLY loc journey I have watched all the way through! I didn’t skip, I didn’t feel like she way rambling. I was genuinely interested. I really enjoyed this!!
Thank you!!♥️♥️♥️
Girl same!!
Agree!😊
Me too!
It’s the self-affirmations for me ❤
♥️♥️♥️
😊❤❤❤
It’s about freedom for me to. Freedom from detangling. Freedom from moisture reverting my silk presses, freedom from shower caps LOL freedom to work out, to go on vacation, to get caught in the rain/snow/humidity, and my hair will keep its formmm. Freedom from constant styling and manipulation and freedom from mechanical breakage. I’m so excited for my loc journey 😭 I’m always trying to force my hair into a form it doesn’t want to be in. In 2023 I said enough is enough lol thinking about all of the extra time I’ll have bc I am not worrying about or styling my hair is bringing tears to my eyes LOL my hair has taken a lot of time, opportunities, and experiences from me. Not anymore!!
I really hope that you love it! For me, now I love being able to walk in the rain and not even think twice about oh no my hair! Lol it’s so freeing
@@RaeLocdLoaded I am definitely excited! If I don’t, I will settle for a very short cut with color lol
This!! I have been fighting with my hair my entire life and 9 months ago locs won and I got 99 problems but my hair ain’t one ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, it’s a new found freedom for me! My husband and I love to travel and packing up my bathroom sink or paying $200-300 at the braid salon wasn’t it for me!! I do miss my natural curls but this is FREEDOM!! So I will stick with the process! Only 3 months in the process and I did the insta-loc technique. I go to a loc-technician because I knew I won’t be able to start it. So I am so far happy with my decision, but I will admit some days I am like what is going on here? The awkward phase has me in a headlock lol😅
Just say you’re lazy lol
I’m at the beginning with way shorter hair and coils, but I’m embracing this journey and excited for when my hair matures so I can hop in the pool no worries 🤣!!
Girl it’s going to be liberating! Lol
It’s like your face got more beautiful with the locs in! They are so nice.
Oh thank you! 🥰🥰
You and your locs are stunning!!! They really fit you! ❤
Thanks girl🥹
You and your locs are extremely beautiful 😍🌱
♥️😘♥️
Your locs are stunning! I'm six months in and learning so many things about myself and my hair during this journey. Looking forward to when I can put them in a high bun!!
The moment that bun comes together… I’m excited for you lol ♥️
Gorgeous! I’m 2.5 years loc’d, and I love it too. Great video!
Yes sis👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you!!
i dont have locs but i am a mini twist, flexirod twist and knotless girlie and videos like this make me thankful i chose "freedom" over hair (my real hair is also the best its every been my entire life now that i basically leave it alone exclusively). i also enjoy doing my hair, my "twist days" where I install my twists or take them down are my favorite times of the year. CHOOSE FREEDOM ladies!
It really really is amazing what our natural hair can do♥️
I’m 15 months in🎉🎉. Having locs is really a journey. Teaching you new things by the day
It really is lol
Hi, I'm a guy, an elderly white man. Ive watched a couple of your videos, starting with the Walmart video about shoplifting.
I work mostly with women ... 75% black - 25% white. My best friend is a black woman and my work wife is black. I've worked multiple facilities in multiple cities over 35÷ years.
Ok, the difficult part. People with locs have an unpleasant odor. Black people seem to be immune to it. Some whites are immune also or they lie to avoid any problems. The white people that I have worked with discuss this loc odor when no blacks are around. White customers will complain about it. It's much stronger when it rains or it's hot ... or both. Its also worse if someone scratches their head frequently. The loc odor, on older locs, can be so bad it makes me nauseated.
Some white employees and customers, such as pregnant women, cancer patients, etc will refuse to work with or be served by some people with locs.
One white woman complained so much she transferred to a different area. When the other boss asked her about it, she denied it. She was so fearful of offending someone and the backlash, she called me at home and cursed me for telling the other boss.
White people don't want to have this conversation with black people. I've tried it twice and I just made everyone angry.
It's mostly people with older locs. I retired recently so I no longer deal with it.
You seem so nice and very sweet. You're a beautiful woman. When you mentioned your mom and growing your locs til age 60, I felt a desire to share.
Meant politely and respectfully.
David
I can appreciate your honesty David. Thank you very much for being brave enough to share your experience and your opinion 🫶🏽
beautiful 😍 that high ponytail at 6:36 is everything!! i’m so glad you mentioned you thinking locs would make you look less feminine but you’ve felt more feminine than you ever been!! ❤ i know someone that has these same thoughts and i’m always encouraging them just to try it out and see how you feel, it’s going to give you a whole new outlook on hair.
Your locs are beautiful!! My loc journey began March 23rd. OMG! 2 months already! I started with the coil and didn't feel it either until I looked myself in the mirror and saw my inner beauty!!!
I'm enjoying my new journey! Last week, I got my hair retwisted for our grandson's graduation and it stormed. I have to say, once it dried, my hair looked amazing. I'm now trusting the process!! 😊
It’s shocking how beautiful our natural hair is when we just let it do its own thing lol Welcome to the Loc Family sis!!🤗
As a fellow loc’d & loaded girlie😉👍🏾…. Sis, you’re beautiful 🥰 and your Locs are so gorgeous 😍😍❤. Thank you for sharing your journey‼️
I have Sisterlocks and absolutely love traditional Locs. I’m someone who appreciates ALL Loc styles and firmly believes that every natural hair texture is absolutely beautiful ❤.
I'll be 3-yrs loc’d in Sept 2024🥳 Best decision ever‼️Like you, this is a lifetime commitment for me. I was a LAZY loose natural for 9-yrs before my Loc journey & miss absolutely nothing about that life. Now as a LAZY loc’d natural, there's nothing better than HAIR FREEDOM. Unfortunately for me, I'm too lazy to save money retying my own hair; I tried it once🥺😩🤦🏾♀️, & that was enough for me 😂 So at least for now I will fatefully pay $165 every 5-6 weeks to my loctician. 😊❤
Girl! It’s expensive maintenance but every so often I will gladly pay for the convenience because it’s so much work! Lol thanks for the love sister♥️♥️♥️
I will be starting my loc journey in 5 days! I'm so excited! I let my 11 yr old son loc his hair 3 months ago. He's excited that we will be on this journey together. Your locs are gorgeous!!
I start my loc journey in 4 days!
Your locs are so beautiful
Thank you🥰
J'adore! Such a beautiful journey! 😍
I'm 3 mos loc'd. Thanks for the inspiration 😊
Such a beautiful transformation 😍😍😍! Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏🏿!
Thank you!!💖💖
@@RaeLocdLoaded You’re welcome ☺️
My loctician charges me $180 I can’t wait until mine are somewhat mature because ain’t no way!! 😅
Your locs are beautiful
Haha they’ll be there soon enough! ♥️😘
I love love this! I am also three years in. I started later in life and wasn’t sure how I would like them, I will say I love them!
What color do you have I. Your hair?
Thank you! ♥️ This is my natural hair color. It’s like a Sandy brown
What were the loc videos you used that made you feel confident to do your own retwists? Your lock look lovely.
It’s been so so long I really don’t remember lol just a lot of different TH-cam videos
Thank you for this video. I will be starting my journey in October 2024.
Good luck on your loc journey sister! I hope you love it♥️♥️
@@RaeLocdLoaded Thank you. I'm going to try to start them myself. Any tips or advice is appreciated.
They are so pretty
Thank you!!☺️
Aww! I love the overall positivity of this video ✨❤️❤️! And you are so right! You look AMAZING and so do your locs 😍! Great video 🤗! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏿!
Thank you so much!!♥️♥️♥️
You are so beautiful and your locs are too I’m almost three months into my journey and I’m loving it.
Thank you!!♥️♥️
Beautiful!!! ❤❤ I love that you didn’t just had the picture slideshow, but actually talked us through.
Thank you for the luv!♥️🫶🏽
They are BEAUTIFUL!!😍 My appointment is in a few weeks to start my locs🥰🌱
Yay!!! Lol I’m excited for you. I hope you love it
beautiful! how many locs?
♥️ 93 Locs
Our mamas always know how to humble us 😂😂 my mama was the same way. But my hair was very, very short when I started and she was so used to me having long hair. I cut my hair bc it was relaxed. I’ll be 3 years locked May 13th and now she likes it….. kinda 😂😂
I’m so happy I came across your channel!! You’re so gorgeous ! Thanks for sharing your journey. I’ve been going back n forth with loc ing my hair.
If you don’t mind telling me, how many locs do you have? Yours are the perfect size to me
Thank you so much!🥰😘 I have 93 locs
@@RaeLocdLoadedThank you so much for your response
Absolutely gorgeous you and your hair ❤love it ! I’m 7 months locd and i love being a dreadie ✨🥰
Yassss sis!👏🏽 Thanks for the luv♥️
Everything you said hit me! Your reasons behind loving your hair now are some of the reasons why my soul has been craving such a change! As a fellow curly girl, I’m on the verge!!
Go for it! And if it’s not for you, you can always carefully comb them out lol but if you’re thinking about it just go for it!♥️
Wow, I was contemplating sisterlocs but feeling hesitant about the maintenance long term. I was thinking of traditional locs but wasn’t sure what route (braids, twists or instant locs). Your video has me thinking really hard about two strand twists for my starter locs. Loved your video! You are beautiful and so are your locs ❤. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Looove this and thank you for sharing! You are absolutely rocking your locs and a whole vibe baybee!! I’m here for it!
I’m 34 and have been natural for 17 years and all but 4 years of my life (13-17). Since I came to Atlanta almost 17 years ago for school, I have been in love with locs and mesmerized every time I see someone with them.
I am that person that compliments strangers anyway, but I ESPECIALLY will stop people when I see them with locs! For yeeeeears I wanted them for myself, but went back and forth and back and forth again. But “somethin keeps pullin me back, me back” and I am fully ready to take the leap!
I have a consultation on Tuesday with a local loctician and am super excited. I’m also going to be 35 in August and cannot wait to see what my hair will look like by then!
Oooo girl you are just going to be too fabulous!! ♥️♥️♥️ I really hope you enjoy your locs. Thanks for the love🫶🏽
I’m starting my loc journey now wit two strand twists as well and I’m so inspired by your video!! I’m so happy to see how beautiful and vibrant you look with your locs as well!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I hope you absolutely love your journey. Thank you so much for the words of luv♥️♥️
I'm glad I found this. Your journey is beautiful. I'm starting my journey soon. What size did you start with? Your locs looks like the size I want to start my 2 strand twist.
Thank you!!🥰 I just told my loctitian that I wanted medium to small locs. Once you start with the 2 strand twists, your loc tends to thicken, at least mine did lol. So if I started too big, I can only imagine how big my locs would be now
@@RaeLocdLoaded I think I will go that route. Even if I was my hair and do a twist, as they dry they do get fat. Thanks for the tip!
@@deeterrell3738 No problem 😉
how many locs do you have :o
93 locs
U r a very beautiful women what state are you in would love to get to know more about you
much motivation.....3 weeks in
OMG I’m so happy I found you I have the same hair, same curl patterns! I just locked June 28th with the same two strand twist about 55-65 strands. I’m literally in the stage of idk😩😩😩😩😩 couple of my twists undo. An here looking at videos hoping to get some inspiration to keep going and think I found it!
Girl! So many times I looked at my locs like idk about this lol but once my roots started to loc and my locs gradually thickened, I was like ok ok this is kinda sexy 😂😂
You look georgous sis!! I have no regrets about locing my hair and wished I had done it sooner!
Thank you!! I’ve had those moments like damn if I had started my locs about 5 years ago… couldn’t tell me nothin! Lol
Come through Queen. You look amazing!!!
Thanks sis!♥️😘
I am thrilled to find your video cause we have the exact same curl pattern and i was looking to watch video about that specific hair type to kind of have an idea about it’ll turn out when they matured.🤗🤗
You were that person. I really enjoyed watching your video and listening to your comments . I am on day 2 of my journey and after being undecided for almost a year, I finally made the big step.
It’s gonna be me in 3 years 😂😂😂😂I am so excited.
Thank you so much you made my day 🤗
I hope you fall in love with your local journey! Thank you so much for the luv♥️♥️♥️
Love this video…. I’m JUST getting started…your video is helping me continue💞
Thanks for the love ❤️ Good luck on your journey. I pray it turns out BEAUTIFUL!
Interesting you said you thought it would make you look not look feminine. That has always been my dislike for looks. But some thing has changed in my consciousness of who i am and my Black identity. Became natural 13 years ago. I have never like fake hair but got caught in a cycle of ps for many years to get long growth. I havent been enjoying my natural hair under the kankelon twists. I just decided forget it, I am going to enjoy my natural hair. And went on yt and saw beautiful locs and i dont have to be a prisoner to bad twist outs or flat iron. I wanted to be free. Got microlocs couple weeks ago cant wait to see the metaphosis into lovely locs. Lol i havent told my mom either lol cause she will scream. Im going to wait for her to ask about it.
I love micro locs! Especially when they get plump and full. Oh you are going to love it! You can do so many styles with that
I absolutely love your hair! 😍😍 question.. did you always use conditioner even in the starter/beginning faze or when it matured? I’m 2 months in and I was told not to use any conditioner. My texture is like yours and I feel like my hair needs it. Help! 😂
Thank you!!♥️ For the first maybe 6 months I went to my loctitian to wash and twist my locs. I don’t believe she was using a conditioner on me early on
They look amazing I'm about to be all in...
Yes! Yes! Lol♥️
ughh i love this!! i just started my locs 2 weeks ago after combing them out due to thinning from hair dye but this time i went micro & this just reminded me to trust the process cause BABY! im not loving the look rn
It’ll be worth it sis!🤞🏽🤞🏽♥️😘
I loved this video and your are absolutely stunning. I’m son is starting his locs soon and I’m thinking about doing it as well. I have been thinking about it for years, but after watching this video, I think I made up my mind ❤
Thank you!! ☺️ I hope you absolutely love your loc journey
Such a beautiful journey! 😍😍😍
🥰♥️♥️
GIRL YOURE HAIR LOOKS AMAZING - my curls are so similar to yours your giving me life and inspiration rn!!!

Thank you ☺️ Welcome in advance to the loc family🤗
Thanks for sharing your journey with us Sis. Your locs look beautiful on you!
Thank you so much 🤗
Wow what a beautiful journey! I am 2.5 years locd. I love the low maintenance as well. I never ask myself what to do with my hair anymore because honey it's done! Lol
I love it!
Just have 3 years today of microlocs i never have a locs style i dont like it personally
I definitely get it. My loctitian really had to talk me into it lol
This was sooo beautiful! Congrats on an amazing journey!!!
Thank you!!
I can not wait to get locs!!!!
I absolutely love your hair! 😍😍 question.. did you always use conditioner even in the starter/beginning faze or when it matured? I’m 2 months in and I was told not to use any conditioner. My texture is like yours and I feel like my hair needs it. Help! 😂
I was told the same thing so for the first maybe 6 months I was only going to my loctitian to wash and style my locs. After that I started using conditioner
Thank you so much for responding. I am on my second loc journey as my first set was ruined after 3 and 1/2 months and I feel like it was because I shampooed and didn’t use conditioner. It all bunched up and felt like wire 😩 it was horrible and had to comb them out and start over. I don’t know I just feel like my hair does better with a little conditioner. Thanks so much for the feedback. As always, love your hair, your videos. 😍😍💕💕
You are so beautiful & Your Locs are stunning! I’m 2 years in on my loc journey ☺️ & also loving the freedom and low maintenance.
Thanks sis! I’m loving it here lol
I love your locs it's beautiful, I had locs for a year now and I love it. Now I smile with pride everytime I go to a wig/weave shop and see a fake loc that looks like mine not to mention the amount of money I've saved.
It’s so freeing isn’t it?! I love it
😍
🥰
Omgoodness this was the best lociversary I've seen!🥰🔥
Thank you!!!♥️♥️♥️
🤎
♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful story love. As im currently locing my hair for the first time ever. Let the journey begin ❤
I hope you love your journey sis!♥️
@@RaeLocdLoaded I hope so too. I just finished... I'm just going to give them time ! Thank you
red cute 😍
great update!!!!!
♥️
LOL My mom asked me the same question about when I was taking them out🤣
Moms be the biggest haters 😂
what a beautiful journey
Thanks beautiful 😘
You are one beautiful black woman. I love your hairstyle🥰
How is your mom feeling about your locs now? I always been a person who worries about what other ppl think. As I'm getting older, I try not to worry about others as much. But worrying about how my family will feel is the one thing holding me back
Love your locs! And you’re a beautiful queen.
Thank you!! 🥰
Gurllll you are gorgeous!!! I've been contemplating locing my hair for some time now and bay-beh this may have just sealed the deal!
thank you❤❤
I'm Inspired !!!!!!!
You love your locs and your locs LOOOOVVVEE you gurl. Stunning
Beautiful!!! How many locs do you have?
93 locs
I love your locs ! Looks so good on you 🔥
Thank you🥰
Satisfying to watch from the beginning to the present! Have a great day today 💛
Thank you!!🤎
Just gave me the push to do it!
Go for it!!👏🏽👏🏽
Really motivating for a loc journey starter. Your locs are beautiful and so are you.
So pretty! Love your locs!
Thank you!♥️♥️
Love your locs, I just did my 4yr loc journey vid .
Thank you! Congrats!! I’ll have to check it out
I debating regular locs v microlocs simply because of the retwist. When you retwist, does it come undone easily? Like do you have to watch out for moisture or do you have to be gentle with your hair for a while because they may come undone?
As long as you give your hair time to set and dry after Retwisting them you’ll be fine. Like after I retwist my locs I give my hair at least an hour and a half to 2 hours to dry before I remove the clips
@@RaeLocdLoaded Thank you! really like the look of your locs, so that’s great to hear 😊
Love the narration of your journey! You and your locs are gorgeous!!
Thank you so much!♥️
Hey Rae!Love your channel and your beautiful locs!
Thanks beautiful!!! ♥️♥️♥️
you look so amazing in every stage!
Thanks beautiful!!
this makes me so excited. i installed my own two strand twists with the intention of locs. i interlocked my roots and ive had my twists in for a lil over a week now. i am so loving it. i was a loose natural for almost 6yrs then wanted something different. it was either get locs or shave my head (i didn't wanna shave it) so i knew i loved the look of faux locs on me so after 4 different tries and several TH-cam tutorials i took a day to install my starter twists interlocs. it took me 14hrs and i am not sure how many locs i have, didnt count,
