      Same. I was scared after I twisted my hair at how few twist I had. Just wants to see how I would feel if I had locs. I thought the size of the twist was the size of the loc.

    Beautiful locs! You journey reminds me of minds Scarfs, scarfs and more scarfs. I'm out of them now and my locs have really stated to grow but they are thin. But that's okay i like them. Keep up your beautiful journey. I'm only 14 months locs

    I came here for style inspiration for my first year (getting locked in 2 weeks) but don't even remember the styles you had because I just spent the whole vid gobsmacked at how pretty you were (FYI I'm a hetero woman)! I genuinely can't remember the last time I saw a woman as pretty as you!

    • @daradoes

    I have a question. I’m on my loc journey and I’ve made it to my 3rd month. Umm the question is how many hours a day am I supposed to keep it wrapped/covered besides going to bed

    • @TheJeneralJ.U.-ICEForever
      @TheJeneralJ.U.-ICEForever 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'd say let your hair breath bruh. When I wake up I don't put the satin durag on until it's time to go to bed again. Moisturize your scalp maybe twice a week with Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Tea Tree Oil, and water. Drink lots of water and yeah I think it's better to let your head breath cause you don't want all the stuff you slept with in your durag to accumulate all day in your locs or on your scalp.

    This is a beautiful video- very beautiful & I have a question wondering how many locs you have now? I feel like the size you have are what mine will look like in a years time. So excited especially that our facial features are similar & the style looks amazing on you! Congratulations 🎊

    Thank you so so much for sharing your journey!! And thank you for showing that we all have insecurities we have to overcome. When you spoke about your parents it reminded of my own mother who is Southern raised and thinks locs are not attractive. I haven’t started mine yet but you definitely gave so much inspiration!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I’m so glad this video was in my recommendation and I subscribe oh and I watch the full video it was outstanding you have some good tips your locs gotten really long and they nice big and full oh and at the beginning when you very first thought what product you use to twist your hair and the reason why I’m asking because I am on my second loc journey and I cut my first set of locs because the last person did my hair made them so small and I didn’t like it and they was breaking off but this time they are big and I have a full head of locs now and I started December 15, but what products you use on your locs at the beginning and how long did it take for your hair to lock up.
