    I am definitely still in the baby stage.. I cannot wait till these babies mature.

    Thanks so much for the vid! Great advice as usual. 👋🏾 I’m guilty of not appreciating this baby stage. I just want my hair to get longer and fuller...like yesterday. 😂 I will say that I fall in love with my SLocks a little bit more with each shampoo. It’s already changed a lot in just a month. I would like to start a channel but I don’t know where to start. I have one YTer that has baby SL that I adore, JusDenyse.

      @Niaimani92  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      LOL thank you =) I see you have the UK flag on your comments. I am from the US. I have never heard the term "no waffle" before but I REALLY like it. I am going to start using it. I love when I get comments from the UK. You alls style of English sounds so classy to me.
      I'm glad you are appreciating the info. I know most of the people watching my videos are 25 and up, grown grown! We don't have time to listen to someone attempt to get to the point for 10 minutes. I respect you alls time.

      Nia A thank you for the reply made me laugh & that’s a gift just like your channel. So grateful to you & other youtubers for the wealth of knowledge you pass on without it my locs & journey would have been over a longtime ago.
      Yes “waffle” or “waffling” is when someone twitters on about nothing, something your not guilty of. 👍🏾🇬🇧

    Thank you for posting this! Something I started researching sisterlocks by following Deviny’s Journey too!
    Comparison can definitely spoil the fun. That includes comparing to my loose natural hair journey because everything was on a whole different time scale in regards to length realization, which shows a lot faster than locs, and texture transformation, which is immediate for new growth unlike the process of locking. Looking at people with locs my length and thinking about my love of loc maintenance and the aesthetic has kept my happy.

    • @Niaimani92
      @Niaimani92  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Jayla=)
      I do a lot of comparing my loc journey to my natural hair journey too. I thought I was the only one lol. When I first went natural I saw DRAMATIC change within the first 6 months. I did not see that much change in my sisterlocks after 6 months and it was disappointing for me. Now I am enjoying every stage of my journey and taking things slow.

    I started my (2 strand twist with 4 point rotation) loc journey 20 Apr this year with 14" hair I'm budding and am now at shoulder length 😫 it's cool though. I left alot of hair out to keep the volume since my sides are shaved. Loc-ing was the best decision I made. You're beautiful!!

    Thank you for these great tips! Especially about not wearing your hair in stretched styles all the time. I get my sisterlocks established in two weeks and I’m so excited! But I’m also worried about how to style my hair. I’m going to definitely stock up on some cute accessories lol

      @Niaimani92  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s a good question. I should of included it in my video. I’ve had my locs for 3 years, so when it comes to what stage of the locking process I’m in, I believe most would say my locs are mature. I see some connect loc stages to length as well. Length wise I would say I’m in the teenage stage.

    Thanks for the video. I definitely want to find someone who i can journey with. I’m 6 weeks SL. I’m in the baby stage. It been hard trying to found someone who has the same hair texture as mines. Hopefully my channel will help somebody with my texture find me. But I watch I love to watch Let’s Journey, Farrah Knows, & Abidemi Komolafe (Sisterlocks crush 😍)
