Thank you for your hard work and your beautiful locs and Congratulations 🎊 👏🏾 your locs are so beautiful

I’m glad you’re waiting to start your journey, you will know exactly when the time is right 💕
Your locs look so pretty you inspire me to go get locs but I'm scared of the stress you just helped me make my decision
Thank you so much! That means a lot ❤️
@@KekeJ You Welcome and u really love your locs and your videos you are my favorite TH-camr like I'll get ideas from you
Never apologize for things that you are going through or have gone through. Thank you for sharing your journey and your struggle. I’m so glad that you were able to over come. God is able! Thank you for your positivity, really considering microlocs after I finish removing damaged ends.
I love how vulnerable you are, and also that God brought you through this whole situation. Believe it or not he is using you to be a testimony for others. Also, your locs are gorgeous and so are you! Prayers
So sorry for what you went through. Glad you are much better and loving the locs too ♥️
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
The beginning had me dead! 😂. I love your energy and I know you're so happy that you stuck to it. God bless ❤
😂😂 thank you! God bless you was well! ❤️
Congratulations sis god is good all the time 💕💕💕
I was always on the fence when it came to gutting locs but once I came across your channel a few weeks ago I was set. I'm still in the process of DIY installing them but I am excited for what is to come I can't wait!💕
I’m so excited for you! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so blessed to be a witness to your testimony! Because of you I am now 2 months into my journey! I work in a hospital and seeing so much this past year has made me self evaluate.
I am so proud of you and cant wait for my 1 year mark🤍
Thank you so much! That means so much to me ❤️ I am so excited for your journey!!! 💕💕 your year mark is going to come so fast!
You made me cry. 😭 love that you’re so REAL. So glad you’ve recuperated! So excited to start my loc journey. Yours and one other perfect set convinced me! Unfortunately, the loctician isn’t available until mid 2022. 😏
Thank you so much! ❤️ I am so thankful to be doing better! It will definitely be worth the wait!!
I’m so glad you’re doing much better❤️! I can relate a bit to the stomach pains, though mines due to really severe morning sickness 😭! I had an episode today and it’s really rough to even do anything sometimes, plus take care of my other kids. But your story encouraged me so much. I’m new to the loc journey, only 3 months in but I’m so glad I’m sticking with it so far😌. Looking forward to seeing how they progress in a year🤗! Great video, thanks for sharing 💕! Love your locs also🥰!
Thank you so much! ❤️
I’m so sorry that you’re experiencing that, I hope you feel better soon!!
Your locs are so gorgeous! I’m glad you’re sticking to it!
And happy 3 months!! 💕
thank you so much for watching!!

TFS! It's definitely been a Beautiful/Insightful journey for me so I get it🤗🥰
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
Omg. Glad to hear you are ok now. I’m currently going through what u went through. I’m at the stage where I have to go for the ultrasound. I haven’t set the appointment yet cause I’m scared to find out if it something really bad. I know that feeling you were talking about. Many days I don’t go anywhere cause you never know when your stomach would start hurting. I can make any copies concrete plans because you never know how it’s gonna be that day. Thanks for sharing. Knowing not only me are experiencing this is a lil comforting. I’ll Definitely go and get the ultrasound done. Thanks. Also. I love your locs as well started mines in June. This about the 4 time now. Trying to stay with it. Love your channel. Keep the videos coming. ♥️🇧🇧 love from Barbados
Thank you so much! I know exactly what you’re feeling and it’s so scary. I also had to cancel so many plans because it would flare up at any time. I was also missing work.
But I know that ultrasound will come back clear 🙂 you got this!!! 💕
Thank you so much for all of your love and support! It truly means so much! ❤️ Also, I’m super excited for your loc journey!!
So I went thru the same thing after taking amoxicillin. I don't know if it was a horrible batch last year. It was horrible n scary. I'm praying for you.
Praying for good results as well. You got this 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks for sharing Keke
Congrats on a whole year loc'd! Just beautiful! 😍
I'm 3 months tomorrow & loving the journey so far!
Thank you so much! ❤️ and happy 3 months!! 💕
@@KekeJ Thank you! ❤
Now I’m crying!! I’m soo glad you are doing better!! I found your channel as soon as you started the second set. I was excited cause I started mine around then and we have similar hair. I think I’ve decided you’re my loc buddy lol. TPlocs said I needed to find one. ❤️ hope you don’t mind! Here for every video!!
Thank you so much! ❤️ I would love to be loc buddies!! Thank you for all your love and support!!! 💕💕
This touched my entire soul KeKe! I’m so happy you both have overcome and had each other to support one another through the trying times I know that meant so much to each of you! That’s what real love is all about! I went through a very similar situation an you are so right about not wishing that on anyone 🙏🏾🤍🤗 I had felt the same way an was about to cut my locs to but I held on in faith 🙏🏾 an still have them 🙏🏾 Happy Loc Anniversary to you & to me too. Ours is the same time. I started the instal 10/10/21 but finished the instal 10/12/21 Peace & Blessings to you an your family 🤍🦁🙏🏾💎👑
Thank you so much! ❤️ he is my rock and idk what I would’ve done without him. I am so glad that you overcame that situation as well! It’s so good to hear that someone else was thinking about cutting their locs but held on. I’m so glad you still have them! And we’re loc twins!! Happy Loc Anniversary to you as well!! ❤️❤️
Happy one year locaversary! Your locs are beautiful as always and I’m so glad you didn’t cut your locs and that you are doing so much better and pain is gone. Love your channel.
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m happy that you are better and did not cut your locs🥰
Looks amazing!
That whole scream while picking your nose 😂 just shows how amazing you are! Making light out of the dark moments ❤️ blessings sis 🙏🏾
😂😂😂 that took me out too! Thank you so much! Many blessings to you as well! ❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your story
I remember when you started this set🥰! It's been a year already.....wow! And you look fabulous 😘. You are the living example of "Thank God I don't look like what I've been/lived through"!!!! Thank you Jesus🙏🏽
Yes! Amen! ❤️❤️ I am so thankful!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️!!! Blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Your locs are so beautiful 😍❤ you inspired me to start my microlocs last month, but they're still at an awkward length 😂😂 I'm still loving it tho ❤😘
Thank you so much! ❤️ and that means so much! I’m so excited for your new journey! You will love every stage! 💕
Your hair is so beautiful omg! My locs turned 1 on Oct 7, our locs basically cousins lmao
Thank you! ❤️ and happy 1 year Locaversary loc cousin! ☺️💕
Beautiful!!
Thank you!!
Grace and blessings always 🥰
Thank you so much! ❤️ same to you!!
Blessings my sister my God continue to healing ❤️🩹 You
What do you use on your edges?absolutely beautiful
Your stomach pains and the experience you went through was a spiritual rebirth for you. I'm happy you decided not to cut your locs, the rebirthing energy is one to keep with you 👌🏾
I didn’t think of it that way!
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I see some people trim their locs. Do you think trimming is necessary? Would you do it?
I have micro Locs and I’ve started interlocking with 4 point but I’m going to switch to 2 point. My roots are skinnier then the tips will it thicken up over time?
The intro 🤣🤣🤣 thank God you didn't hurt yourself
How do you feel about the time it takes to for reties? I want to start my locs for the 3rd time and I want microlocs this time but idk if im too lazy for the reties lol
Wow Sis you are a trooper & you didn't show it!🙏🥰
I was also wondering if there's anything that you to do keep your coils so defined instead of them completely locking or if it's just because of your hair type.
I don’t do anything at all, I believe it’s my hair type
👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
You look like Erika Rose Alexander aka Maxine Shaw 😍😍
How do I start my locs?
You can start using two strand twists, braids or finger coils
You have the most beautiful hair. However you wear it is complementary to your face
Youre hair is getting so long
You got a little bit of lint?? Huh?
