I can’t wait until my hair matures I’m going to be a walking jewelry box
😂 😂
Girl I am 🤣🤣
💜
😂
🤣👍
Let me take my beads out 😭😭😭😭....I swear I was thirsty to decorate my locs lol it’s only been a week since I started my journey lol....
😂😂😂😂
3 weeks for me n I have 3 shells. I also purchased a piece of jewelry which was very expensive so I’m waiting until June July to put on.
Enjoymykinkz 😂😂😭😭😭 girl I’m cryingggg
this a mood!!!
Same boat 😭☝🏽
I adorned my hair about three days of starting my loc journey, and I took them out a day later because I actually came to this revelation. I wasn't expecting this video to hit a point that I made myself and it makes me happy that I thought about it because the jewelry really would have affected my hair
You're eye makeup is soooo pretty girl! It looks like a sunset sis!
You can have loc jewelry on younger locs just make sure to remove them often and give you hair a chance to breathe. Like you shouldn’t keep them in that long that your hair starts to loc around it. I wash my hair every 1-2 weeks and thats when i remove ALL my loc jewelry. And as soon as the gold pieces tarnish, remove em.
I’m 2 months in. So can I wear loc jewelry as long at I remove them daily before bed?
@@Juniperberry1 Yes
Can I wear them a month in?
I only use thread to attach my jewelry. That way I can remove them whenever & I don't have to worry messing up my hair.
Great idea
Thanks for the info!! A lot of people need to know these things. This is my first journey and I’ve done lengthy research before starting. I’m not too big on the idea of having loc jewelry. But when my locs are more mature I’d like to try out a few pieces. ❤️👏🏽
Yeah, Im too scared to do anything to my locs until they’re mature. I have 2 crystal coil pieces that I’ve had for a few months from Etsy, but I haven’t put them in yet. The most I do to my hair, accessories-wise, is put hair pins in-but I’m even particular about that. They’re all real gold.
Today is my one year loc anniversary with my twin sister!!! #totallyworthit
Ok so why was I so hyped to look forward to the jewelry before I even start my locs🤔
thank you Dae!! always dropping jems. today makes 5 months for my locs babies. appreciative of the insight.
Thank you for this info! I was doing the same thing with the shells and beads, and I started seeing a difference in my locs. So I’m patiently waiting for them to mature. (May 1st makes 7 months loc’d for me!!)
Love your channel! So informative!
I love loc jewelry . I also miss the feather hair extension. I just love the wild gypsy like looks ❤
Your eye makeup looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
Yes i do but my locs are 10 yrs old. I recently got some from Etsy.
Day 4 of my loc journey 🤣 why I’m I looking at jewelry/ sprinkles videos thank God I found this video cause I was ready😭😂 thank you 🥲
Thank you 😊 for sharing this information. I have bought a huge variety box of loc jewelry but I was concerned especially since my hair is not even locked yet. I will be holding off until the appropriate time and may only jewel my hair based on occasion. Thank you again for making this video it is very helpful😍
Thanks for the info. Just a couple of weeks ago I had put a few shells and beads in my hair for the first time but I took them out when I washed my hair over the weekend. I don't think I'll be in a hurry to put them back in until my hair is more mature.
I totally agree. Wearing them on baby locs can keep the hair from budding and locking properly. My hair wasn’t even thick enough for the jewelry to actually stay until maybe 6 months in. 😂 I would say a good alternative is to put the jewelry on a hair tie or find a decorative headband. I’ve been locked 9 months now. I have just added a few sprinkles on the ends that are firm and round. I skipped over the ones where ends are curly, frizzy, or really soft. Locs definitely teach you patience. Great video!!
wow I was thinking the same thing! Thank you for sharing :-) 3 months interlocked but still I can see where wearing beads might stop the locing
Hey Dae. I follow another loc TH-camr that just started her locs over and in her 2nd or 3rd week she made a video about styles for starter locs and she included loc jewelry. The styles really did look cute but I also feel a way about using loc jewelry. I started my journey on April 5th and this other loc loc TH-camr I watch made a video about the dangers of loc jewelry. I saw her video and she explained it so well now I see this video and you guys have similar points so I will avoid loc jewelry until mine mature. I was thinking of mentioning this to the TH-camr that used jewelry on her locs but I feel like maybe that wouldn't be a good idea. She's on TH-cam and I know she watches other videos because she once mentioned it so hopefully she comes across that one. Anyway thanks for reiterating that tip and I look forward to more videos. Take care
tsimmonds55 ok boo we can follow each on this journey!!
You’re sooo pretty!!!
Thanks for this video Sis. I love loc jewelry but I can wait. Im 4 months in and dont even do styles yet regularly I did twice. Once I hit 16 or 18 months O will decide
I started my locs on March 16th..and here i was craving jewelry 😭
I'm three years in with my semi free form locs. I had the little silver clips in and absolutely forgot about them. It's only this year I cut them out. There are indents in my locs but nothing severe or obvious. I really don't have damage to my hair. Just be mindful of what type of accessories you put in.
I love loc jewelry! I have all kinds of things in my hair. But one of my favorite things to put in my hair is cell phone charms. They tend to be cute and on thread instead of rubber bands. I just wrap it around my locs and I think they do less damage.
You're so pretty!! Love your video
i hit my 1 year 3 days ago nd this came in handy b4 buying sum,, much love‼️
Thank you for this!!! I def was looking not anymore 😫😂
Great advice, but perhaps each individual is different because I started wearing beads on the tips of my locs when I first got them and no damage. I still wear some African beads and a coil that I made and I've never had an issue, but I believe it's good advice because "better safe than sorry". Mine are over 5 years now so they tell me what to do😅
I don't have any yet, but plan to get loc sprinkles. Already cam to terms I will need a future trim if I get them. Your video has made me consider waiting a little longer to get them though😕
I didn’t decorate my locs until I hit the stage I’m at now which is the teenage stage. My locs stand up and bend everywhere. The one in the front stands straight up 🤣. Also I use loc jewelry that have hoops so I can safely pin it through. I’m almost 4 months in.
Loving the loc sprinkles jewelry... Considering those later. 😍💜
Thanks for this info in your vid here. 💪 Super supportive!!! ElectricVibes has pretty nice loc jewels etc.
I'm 5 months in. I'm just trying to find my style. Haven't been thinking about loc jewelry. Maybe next year.
I have mature locs now; they matured pretty quickly, in about 6-9 months because I freeformed and washed my hair every other day for scalp health purposes. (Washing frequently helps them loc faster, but they won’t be uniform like traditional locs… they’ll be based on your curl pattern. I have all the type 4 coils, and my locs are between small & medium sized. I started from a twa, but if you freeform from longer hair, your locs tend to be chunkier). I digress.
I’m waiting for loc jewelry until mine are shoulder-length when dry; right bow, they’re jaw length. I guess it’s a good thing I decided to wait because I had the time to look up hair care tips about loc jewelry! Thanks for the good info; I was wondering if I should take them out when I wash, and it sounds like the answer should be yes, or at longest, after a week (since I wash my hair 2x per week now).
thanks for the information about locd jewelry im 9 month in and was so ready to do so I love the sprinkle jewelry but im wait a lil longer once again thanks for the information
Thank you for sharing this video. I am two years and two months loc’d. And before visiting this channel, I was looking for a good Loc jewelry tutorial. But I'm glad you made this video because all of the things that you mentioned are important. And this month I began experimenting with color. (bleach and semi-permanent dye). So, I will wait until my hair is at least three years old, and maybe consider adding jewelry.
I have my hair exactly like that today, so cute! I'm two months in! 😉🤗❤️
I literally just posted a video on my channel a few days ago touching the same thing in regards to loc sprinkles and tips before installing! I had my loc sprinkles for almost two years, absolutely love them but wish I knew what I know now before I decided to install them... which was the purpose of my video lol*
Thanks for the video. I buy a lot of my loc jewelry from Amazon. I have had my locs for 11 months. I only wear loc jewelry occasionally and remove it the same day. I don't l don't leave in .I am considering getting some loc jewelry from Etsy and I plan to learn how to make my own.
Thank you for this video!
Thank you for the video 😘
Thank you for this!!! Just found your video
100%, thank you for this! A rule of thumb I learned early on was, only put in things you can take out every time you wash, especially so any beads etc don't get in the way of your hair drying fully... Also, if you have things you really love to wear, rotate them around so they are not always in the same place, so hair gets a break.
Your locs are so beautiful
I wear loc jewelry a lot but I notice that people jeep them in when washing and showering etc and I'm concerned as to why because they're not typically made of authentic metals. I take mine out regularly lol and I shop on etsy and Instagram. They have the most unique venders
This is why I’m glad I browsed the comments first before watching her clickbait fearmongering; trying to insinuate loc jewelry can give you bad juju by the photos.
It’s really pathetic how low some people will stoop for views.
Thanks Queen ✊🏾💛
I definitely was thinking about some sprinkles
Yea I can completely agree. I’m about to hit a Year and at around 5-11 months I had beads, loc sprinkles, rubber bands, THE WORKS. My locs are lumpy now because they formed around some of the jewelry. Thankfully, I like that wild & non uniformed loc look so I don’t mind it. But yes please wait till your loc forms to play with loc jewelry.
I love love love jewelry! But I did realize that rubber bands aren’t it. I use clamp and never leave them longer than 1-3 days 🤷🏽♀️ so far so good
No one had to tell me to remove my loc accessory when it started cutting into my then quite young locs! My locs are mature and long now, but somehow I never want any adornment in it.
THANKS FOR THE TIPS
Awesome information
I've had my locs for a year and a half now, an I just got some jewelry. But by no means did I ever plan on keeping them in for a long period of time lol. Especially since I have to wash my locs every 2-3 weeks. I didn't even realize people kept them in for months...
It seems as if she did everything wrong wearing it with coils , and it seems she may have even left it in for several days. I make loc jewlery and you have to take it out before going to sleep... she at least learned from her mistakes
HaitianMuslimah yup I left them in, most people do, especially when you wear a lot like I used to!
My hair will be loc’d for a year in 4 days. I waited until I got to the year mark or longer for me to put any type of jewelry in my hair.
I want to split my dime thick locs into 3 of four strains then use them to hold marbles. I can join my locs together at the ends and wrap string to tighten it if needed. What do you think would be the pros and cons of that
I have starter locs. I am putting just a couple of tiny tiny tiny shells for a photo shoot for my job and then I will remove them.
Hi please how long in total have you had your locks on...you look good 🔥 Am a month away
Loc jewelry is beautiful but I’m not using them once I loc. I’m just going through the motions and enjoying my journey. Loc newbie ☺️
Great information
Jewelry kinda messed up my locs. I needed my beads and others to be kinda tight so they wouldn’t slip off. But what happened was it created thin bands around a the area and over time it weakened and fell off. So I don’t wear long term jewelry anymore but one thing about locs you retain so much more length so it’s back the same length in no time
Question??? When you retwist your hair do you palm roll all the time??? Today I retwist and I didn’t palm roll. I just only retwist my roots only.
Never tried loc jewelry but I think it’s super cute! This video makes so much sense so I will hold off for now.
Your last loc journey Dae, how did you get your locs out? Did you comb or cut them out?
Content Suggestion: Budding. I am experiencing crazy budding in each of my locs and found not a lot of content or information on this.
Hlo Dae, I will wait till my locs mature, i am just two months loc'd. how many locs do you have?
i no longer have loc jewelry in my hair. I make it and have pieces that i put in on occasion but no longer have anything in on an everyday basis
I can’t wait to put some loc sprinkles at the ends of mine but I’m definitely waiting!
Question: What is a long enough time period to you (04:20) ?
Great video! I didn't wear loc jewelry throughout my first 12 year loc journey. This journey I love it! However, I didn't start wearing loc jewelry until I was a little over 1 year loc'd. When I do wear it, I never wear it for more than 3 days. And I'm very gentle pulling out loc jewelry from my locs. I also won't wash my hair with the jewelry in.
Also you could buy jewelry that you can't use (ask me how I know 🙃), like a cuff, because you estimated the jewelry size and your locs could end up skinnier or thicker than you thought once they mature.
I get my jewelry from Smileywitdalocs (youtuber) and Tiffany's Loc Jewels.
so when it’s time to retwist do you take the beads off right ?
Use common sense to keep your locs healthy and safe. Wear loc jewelry if you choose to but don't keep them in your locs until its tangled or embedded.
Is this advice also for braided in dreads...or synthetic hair?
Your suppose to crochet the cowrie shell into the locs I don’t recommend rubber bands and it’s ok to do what you pls your hair will let you know what and what not to do it’s spiritual but your right wait until they mature and are great product jewelry 6 years loc’d and on my second set.
lmao my locs are 2 weeks old and i like bought 38$ worth of loc jewelry i know i won't be wearing any time soon. smh so thirsty.
I use extensions locs and they are tangled with jewelry I just pull them them apart and it’s okay
👍🏾
just make sure youre moving the beads around daily so they aret fixed in one position
I know that hair sprinkles is newer but is it ok for locs
There are some shops that use gold filled wiring for their loc jewelry.
What about braid locs?
Just bought a pack of shells today but when i noticed the rubber bands are needed to install i decided not to bother. My hair is too delicate right now. only 6 weeks in…. thanks for the confirmation sis❤
My name is Dai, too ✨
Okay Sis .. I have a confession. I have been ordering loc sprinkles and loc jewelry and I’m only 3 months. My hair is just now budding.
I plan on waiting at least a year but I needed something to look forward to lol
Thank you for saying this 😂😂 I done already bought shells and it's going to be a while before I can put them in. I'm so excited!
I'm 3 months in myself
Lol same! I have hair paint wax too. Just preparing for my 1 year in the far future lol
Ly K Glad I’m not alone lol
Atleast 7 Months In You Can Wear It
Taking my lox jewelry out as I’m watching this video….😫
Just don't keep the jewelry in take it out and put it in when you want don't keep. Wear only the Cooper hair jewelry. Don't sleep with them in if you want to wear them everyday you have to put them back in
I’m trying to figure out who in their right mind would literally keep jewelry in their locs for months. That’s absolutely absurd!
Juery or jewellery?
Jeury. I let me accent come through when I’m amongst my community but don’t be misled by it.
