She was an iconic woman- I recommend "Jazz" and "Playing in the dark" "Burn this book" was great as well. So glad you cover Toni Morrison's locs- she was one of the reasons why I kept my locs. I had the opportunity to attend one of her events in Philadelphia - I tell you, I was blown away by her wisdom, humor and just her sheer love of literature ...
Whoah thank you for sharing Krissy! Maybe there are some interviews of her on TH-cam as well. I'd love to listen to her talk after your experience. I've put the books you mentioned on my reading list :D
What a respectful, review of our Beloved Toni Morrison 💖 I've read,& re-read most of her books. The two I'd recommend of the top are"The Bluest eye',&"Song of Solomon". Her work is what I call"High Art", not in a way to make it Above others... but Toni was a Deep writer/storyteller who can take you on a journey that make you wonder"what just happened? Did she say/share that?" Treat your self to Toni Morrison's work 💝
Thank you Mizrel! I am glad you enjoyed it. I felt a bit intimidated reviewing such a wise and accomplished soul. I have added your suggestions to my reading list. I cannot wait to learn from her words!
tpl locs. Yes, it was awesome. She read from her books and lectured and then met with the students. She was a special guest lecturer for a weekend. I spoke with her and told her I was majoring in English Literature and she encouraged me. She will be missed. RIP ❤️.
Back in the 80's many of us started with braids. The ends of her hair might just have been the part still in perm/relaxer mode. We didn't do all that re-twisting back then, at least judging by people I knew with locks. I remember her back locks were much longer than the front or sides. Try at least one of her books. I also recommend the "Bluest Eye" and the "Song of Solomon". It will definitely contribute to your life perceptions. Great videos & TFS. Blessings.
@@TPLlocs Baby Girl. Toni Was Phenomenal.... A Lot of Sisters Had A Variety Of Braids In Their Hairs When Locking. Like Whoopi Her Locks Were So Big and Wide At One Time. I Think She Wanted To Make Them Smaller. But The Only Way To Do That Was To Cut Them Down The Middle. Then The Lock Would Thin Out and Just Break Off. She Cut Her Locs Down The Middle and Had Hunan Hair Braided On Top of Her Locs. Her Locs Were Narrower In With. She Also Cut The Length. Some People Start Locs With Braids.

Yes, she is a 4c hair type and even in the Afro this is her curl pattern just simply using daily hair maintenance of picking/coming. Sadly, this notion of whitewashing hair still exists. Yes, you will love her books. Each of her styles were all natural. She didnt use chemicals even the straighter styles you see they are simply blown dried and curled. If I am correct she sued the braidloc method. Braidloc is very common. They get individual braids and just leave them be -LOL I started this way. You do still get the messy stage, LOL Those braids after time will coil on their own and that braiding pattern becomes less and less visible. With locs you will see one length and then as the locs loc they will drop giving it a longer look. Some people that start with braidloc may eventually take out the added hair. Yes, she was semi-free form, meaning she didnt do the retightening stuff for the salon look This is a good thing. She had thickkkkkkkkkkkkk and long locs. Yes, older women with the grey.silver.white locs run into the age of hair thinning and must moisturize more as this type of hair is more brittle. I have to say your channel is awesome and one of the very few loc sites with such information and more. You must read her books. If you like another renown women of literature Dr. Maya Angelo you will enjoy Toni Morrison. Look for some of her lectures and discussions as well.
Thank you so much I been looking for her I seen her locks before and I just in love with how see style her hair I wear fishtail all the time but it’s nothing like her fishtail
Ms. Morrison started with braids as was custom at that time, and never added any weave to her hair. In the '70s and early '80s, it was organic, braids or palm roll were the most common way of starting locs.
The First book I read of Toni Morrison was Tar Baby. I heard her speak when I was a student at Howard University. She was so regal and eloquent. She was such an icon of grace, character and creative beauty.
Nobody is too old to be featured haha. I personally enjoy reviewing older people more than youngsters! There is so much more to a journey once people have had locs for over 3-4 years... I love it!
@@TPLlocs Good! I'm 59 years old and love your channel. I got sisterlocks in June, 2019. and have decided to stop dyeing my hair Yikes - so much gray but trusting the process! Keep it coming! Have you done Whoopi Goldberg yet?
@@gBalldevelopmentllc thats great Glenda, silver locs are the best! I did do an episode on Whoopi, it is right here: th-cam.com/video/wpdrYLOM4Kg/w-d-xo.html

Thats great to hear Tony! You have an interesting journey ahead of you, enjoy it!
Tony Bogard did you dye yours
Chidera Stephen no I did not. Don’t have any intention to just going to keep the natural.
I was dyeing my grey hair until I seen Toni Morrison and other women on Pinterest with beautiful grey locs now letting my grey come in
I met Toni Morrison when I was in college in the 80s. Awesome woman !!! Awesome locs !!! 👍😃
Woooow thats awesome!
tpl locs. Yes, it was awesome. She read from her books and lectured and then met with the students. She was a special guest lecturer for a weekend. I spoke with her and told her I was majoring in English Literature and she encouraged me. She will be missed. RIP ❤️.
She is such an inspiration to me. Thank you for choosing to make a review for her. Her locs had so much wisdom in them 🌹

The Bluest Eye-it resonated with me.
Ms. Morrison started with braids as was custom at that time, and never added any weave to her hair. In the '70s and early '80s, it was organic, braids or palm roll were the most common way of starting locs.
I Thank Ms.Toni Morrison for the Beautiful Gifts of creativity she bestowed upon us. I wonder how her tips formed ? May She Rest In Peace......TUFS
The First book I read of Toni Morrison was Tar Baby. I heard her speak when I was a student at Howard University. She was so regal and eloquent. She was such an icon of grace, character and creative beauty.
Thanks for this
I’ve been watching you and I just uploaded my first ever locs video 🥰✌🏾✌🏾
Yuppp
Great content. Thanks so much for this!
I’ve.been waiting for this. I started to suggest Ms. Morrison, but wasn’t sure if if she was too old to be featured.
