Amazing locks 🔥🔥🔥 he needs more updates his hair is super unique
I’m a nurse and this is the best hairstyle for me especially having to go to the gym 2/3 times a week spray with water and go I love it , thanks for all your information you both have beautiful hair ❤
Woot woot! Nurses are the real MVPs! I find a lot of people in health professions opt for Microlocs but it’s still so rare I see them! How often do you see them and how often do people question you about your hair?
I absolutely *love* both of y'alls locs!!!!! Thanks for the update
Both of your locs are absolutely gorgeous 😍
Y'alls hair looks beautiful. Carl looks great in a Dashiki.
And yeah it is pretty annoying when people don't understand what it takes to maintain microlocs lol. They act like it's no big deal. Smh.
You inspired me to start my own microlocs a few years ago and it's the best thing I could've done for my hair. I love the microlocs lifestyle! Thanks Queen!
I’m so happy to have inspired! How did you choose to start and maintain your locs?
THANK YOU! Gathering info before I start my microlocs, so I’m currently deep diving your channel and the sister with the channel All in the Jeans. Thank you again for the time and effort you put into the videos to share you and your brother’s loc journeys. Big love and lots of Ashé! 🙏🏾❤️
Great to see your hair flourishing. I loc'd my hair 2y ago and was inspired by yours as it's very similar in texture and colour.
I can't believe it only takes him 7hrs. It takes me a week if I solidly push and about 12h+ altogether!
The main 'issue' I have had is tying my hair up and washing my hair - specifically getting the product out of it. My hair is so dense!
Thanks for the update!
More coming soon!
love the perspective from both of you. good souls
Glad you enjoyed it!
I appreciate this video and your loc journey update videos. It’s helped me to get an idea of what I could possibly expect on my journey. I am in month 2️⃣! 😊
Congrats on taking the leap! Are there any questions I can answer for you or courses you’d be interested in seeing?
Beautiful! ❤
Thank you! 😊
Queen...thank you for sharing this. I was wondering how your brother's loc journey was going. His hair looks soooo good. And of course, yours always looks good. God bless you both. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you so much for reaching out! Please let me know if you have any particular topics you’d like to see in future videos or courses! ✨ ❤️
His locs are looking great. You did a great job with this install and I give him mad props for his maintenance. Enjoyed seeing you both together.
(Off topic: Does he have an IG for his art?)
Thanks for the props! Yes his art ig is CJ_LEFTWICH_W

Just wonderful. Both crowns are gorgeous. #knottytruth
Your hair is so pretty
Your locs look stunning! Is that your natural brown hair color, or did you achieve it with dye? If not natural, could you please share how you got that color?
Both of us have our natural hair color in this video.
Just 6-8 hours? I stretch my retie over a week, sometimes more 😬. I think mostly because I'm still super anal about my parting unfortunately.
I know right? The boy has it easy! Mine takes 12-14 over 7ish days. But he’s a guy so taking a day to do his hair is annoying. AND GOOD FOR YOU being specific about parting!!! That’s what we like to hear! Your Microlocs will be thanking you down the road!! Is there any info you’d like to hear more of or courses or tutorials you’d be interested in?
@@queeneleem 💜 hmm I think wash routine for loc health. I'm two years in, on the cusp of loc maturity with two sections that were bleached and dyed red. Sadly one of my color treated locs broke off. I'd love to avoid anymore shenanigans 😅
I’m not surprised at all that a block person said that. I have gotten the worst comments from my hair from black hair. I’m a guy and I have Sisterlocks ™️ and I had black women say they it looks like i have a stillborn died in my hair. But i’ll say white girls (and white guys) love my hair.
Is it me or does he look like Lionel Richie! Lol. You guys have gorgeous hair. Love!
lol I can see it
"promo sm"
who did your dreds locs
I did my locs myself
