While thus does sound like a complaint about loose natural hair, past that you did point out that being a loose natural takes time and work and not everyone is willing to sacrifice that. Natural hair can be expensive 😂. Been loose for 7 years and I'm seriously considering locs. Being loose for me has been a journey, it's been fun-ish. I definitely grew it out and cared for it and that was a part time job in itself. 7 years in and I finally started going to a natural hair stylist. I usually rock a twist out and keep it pushing if I don't have knotless braids. Part of my problem is it's hard being in my part of the south and finding a good, long-time, trust worthy natural hair stylist that does everything I want them to do. I love my natural hair but the reason I am interested in locs is because of the "low maintenance, wake up and go, etc" life style it offers because I am already a lazy natural.
I thought I wanted locs until I learned its a permanent (long term) style. I love looking at loc journeys. My unpopular opinion is if we can get by with minimal products on locs maybe we can get by with minimal products on loose hair. I think there are some loose 4c naturals out there who have learned how to make their routines as easy as those with locs. Do we really have to twist or braid or curl or slather our hair in gel for it to be considered decent? The afro is my favorite stlyle. I just need to figure out a way to minimize tangling.
Yes! I agree if I could’ve found something where I didn’t have to use so many products just for one style to only last so long I may have experienced less frustration with my loose hair. Also, that’s true, wearing it in its natural state such as an Afro seems better and minimal work! It’s definitely all about embracing what we like the best and like you said not having to do the most to achieve a specific “look” with our natural hair.
I know that's right. I had a huge afro before I got my locs five months ago and I don't miss it. It was a lot to handle, even braiding it to wear a wig. When it was shorter, it was better to manage but I didn't wanna cut my hair again. I love my starter locs and I'll never go back.
I don’t miss it either! I wish I had got locs sooner really, because like you said it’s a lot to handle and care for so much time and effort. Gota continue to embrace the loc journey 😁
I've been a loose natural for 10 years and I'm so tired. I hate that I spend all this time doing ny hair, go outside, and bam...15 minutes later my kinks are like "Gotcha!!!" 😂 I have a loc consult this week. I'm almost 50 years old and i just don't have the time or energy for all this natural loose hate anymore. Locs, here I come! 😊
Lol this is hilarious! EXACTLY! The time saved not doing hair is worth it. I hope you like your locs and enjoy the journey! It may or may not be what you think at first but it's worth it! 😁
Loose natural hair is most definitely overrated. I was loose natural for 9 years. Been braid locd since July 2021. I installed them myself, and maintain them myself. My hair has cost me exactly $15 for the last 8 months. Lol and that was just the interloc tools. I’m NEVER going back. Ima be at my funeral LOCD up 💯
Yes!! It’s definitely worth making that change, especially because we saving money it’s nothing compared to what’s spent with loose natural hair. I’m never going back either, not at the funeral 😂😭 but girllll periodt.
Year 2011-2019 9 years of my short to medium length afro hair journey. It's been up and down experience and awesome journey. Honestly I don't miss my loose natural hair at all. June 3, 2019 locs stylist who was former hairdresser for my aunt with locs. She installed my two strand twist locs. In the beginning of my loc journey I experience both ups and downs but still continue the journey. It take a lot of patience, growth and time for natural hair to grow whether it's afros, locs, etc. Thanks for my aunt who encourage me to wear locs and see if it will suit me well. She was right 💯. I start my loc journey when I was ready instead of being pressured to get them. You'll know when your ready. Wearing locs is so freeing. You feel confident, comfortable and more peaceful, calm and relaxed. You feel a connection with Most High and truly appreciate, love your natural self. Natural beauty of our hair, complexions and features is very beautiful the way Our Creator made us. Year 2024 is my 5th loc journey. I really love my hair and take great care of it. Especially I'm forever grateful to my stylist and dearest friend take good care of my hair. She's amazing and I'm so glad my aunt introduced me to her since Summer of 2019. 😊 Enjoy your locs journey.
Caring for my loose natural hair is my self care. I enjoy it. And I do not do all of that stuff you mentioned lol but it's all about life style and preference. I don't care for the way locs look personally or the fact that it's permanent. So it's all about what works for each person.
Great video. Your sisterlocks are looking great! Again, the best decision I made. This April will be 6 yrs SL'd. I look at my loose natural style pics and wanna hide. Not for everyone and definitely wasn't for me and I can say I tried. Keep up the great videos. 👍🏽
I love locs but I just find more versatility in loose natural hair. When my hair is long and healthy enough I might get some traditional locs in the future 🤗.
Yes I get that, most people that I’ve talked to about locs the main reason they won’t get them is because they don’t feel they’re versatile enough especially in the aspect of styling. But yess definitely consider it! 😁
I totally agree with loose natural hair being over rated. Im in the process of SLing my hip length hair. The time it takes to wash and detangle had gotten to be too much for me. I wasn't able to enjoy all the length I have because of the aftermath of wearing my hair free.
I'm at a crossroad trying to decide and this video definitely helped to make up my mind. My loose natural is a handful and I can't manage it myself. I'm also a 4C and to be honest all that product buying and researching can be daunting 😥. Thank you for this. I'm getting them locd asap!
Yay! I’m glad that it helped you make the decision 😁 yesss it can just be too much work, girl it’s the research and products for me definitely that I don’t miss. Hope you like your locs!💗
I just want to say thank you for the videos. I wish I saw yours before I got mine done. Started Feb 10 , 2022 of this month. I am not feeling them all the time but watching your videos and other fine low density hair streamers makes me feel a little better and I just need to trust the process. I feel like I keep saying that just to keep my cool. I Just cant wait till the end of the year where my hair will have a big difference to it.
🥲🥲❤️. Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad that my videos help you feel better about the process. I felt the same way at first I wasn’t too hype about them but then i would say maybe the third or fourth month I became more confident in having them. It’s truly about patience and knowing they end up typically looking cute lol. But yes I hope at the end of the year you love them, goodluck on your journey! ☺️

Loose natural hair takes soooo much time. I really don’t miss it. Like girl. GIRLLL

I don’t even know how to braid down in order for my wraps to look nice🥲

Sorry I meant to say 2024 is my 5 year loc journey will continue on many years to come.
'To each their own', but after a week I'd want to unravel the locs and drag a comb through my hair and scalp, it's not for me.
😂😂 you’re like it’s a no for me. I understand, definitely everyone has their own preference and what works best for them!
Caring for my loose natural hair is my self care. I enjoy it. And I do not do all of that stuff you mentioned lol but it's all about life style and preference. I don't care for the way locs look personally or the fact that it's permanent. So it's all about what works for each person.
Love this for you! Agreed every person's preference is different, it's all about what you like for yourself that's what truly matters.
I just started my micro loc journey this month! Loving it!
Yes! It's one you won't want to go back from!
Great video. Your sisterlocks are looking great! Again, the best decision I made. This April will be 6 yrs SL'd. I look at my loose natural style pics and wanna hide. Not for everyone and definitely wasn't for me and I can say I tried. Keep up the great videos. 👍🏽
Thank you! And yes! Whew six years already time flies lol and righhht exactly I agree can’t say we didn’t try 😂
I love locs but I just find more versatility in loose natural hair. When my hair is long and healthy enough I might get some traditional locs in the future 🤗.
Yes I get that, most people that I’ve talked to about locs the main reason they won’t get them is because they don’t feel they’re versatile enough especially in the aspect of styling. But yess definitely consider it! 😁
Locs are LIFEEE….Amen to that Sissss…💯
Girlll I’m tryna tell people lol 🙌🏾
I totally agree with loose natural hair being over rated. Im in the process of SLing my hip length hair. The time it takes to wash and detangle had gotten to be too much for me. I wasn't able to enjoy all the length I have because of the aftermath of wearing my hair free.
Whew, hip length! Yesss it can just take too much time and you start to think is it really worth it 🤔 hope you love the sisterlock journey! 💗
I'm at a crossroad trying to decide and this video definitely helped to make up my mind. My loose natural is a handful and I can't manage it myself. I'm also a 4C and to be honest all that product buying and researching can be daunting 😥. Thank you for this. I'm getting them locd asap!
Yay! I’m glad that it helped you make the decision 😁 yesss it can just be too much work, girl it’s the research and products for me definitely that I don’t miss. Hope you like your locs!💗
Amazing video Queen
Thanks so much love! ❤️
