This video spoke nothing but facts when you said if you watching this I’m assuming you’re black that sent me 😂😂😂😂overall this was a beautiful video thank you for sharing 🦋🦋🦋🦋
🤣 LMAOOO I just had to throw that out there , in case it was any asians or white people w straight hair watching lol , they don't feel that shrinkage hit . But im glad you enjoyed it ! Thank you for watching as always boo ❤️
@@HerbNLocs no problem and yes child because the shrinkage is even more real when you Loc your hair
You're Beautiful 😍 Nice Video ❣️🙏🏿
Really love this videos so good 😍
I completely agree NO UGLY STAGE ❤️
ABSOLUTELY ! 🥰🌱
I am 58 and in the second month of my loc journey. I love it! Thanks for sharing.
That is lovely to hear 🤍 I hope you are enjoying every bit of the journey!
I'm 54 and about 5 and a half weeks loc'd! Enjoy the journey..❤
I'm 63 been a year today I started my locs now I understand it now just hearing you show us how the locs be lumpy I didn't understand right in front of my hair I swear I was going to cut them I'm so happy I seen this video thank you so much 🥰
I just started my loc journey and i told my husband I feel like I just planted a garden on my head ❤ love your positive loc content ❤
Omg I loveee that comparison ! That’s exactly how it feels 🥹💕💕 thank you for the support boo
That's what it feels like right? I can't stop thinking of my hair as a newly planted tree 😂
I am 11months into my locs, everything you mentioned is so true. I have always gone to the hair salon or kept my hair neat. Locs is a freedom I've never given my hair to display. No chemicals, no dyes and not caring what people think.
Omg yaaayyy , almost to a year ! Hopefully it feels good 💕 It is definitely such a freedom I wish ALL of us knew !
same! i have always gotten my hair done on a consistent basis and covered my hair even though im natural im hoping i will embrace myself more when i start my loc journey friday
@Ireon Jones I'm now 23 months into my loc journey and a lot has changed. I have learned to maintain myself and do retwists every couple of months. I match the products I like the best and to my surprise at 66 years old my hair is growing like a weed and almost to my shoulders. Have a wonderful day...
2 months in 😊
Not caring what people think is everything! I’ll likely style it, but I don’t care that much
Anytime I wanna stop my journey I just go back to your videos. Ill begin my 6th month on January 27th. I’m just gonna trust the process. No such thing as an ugly stage. Much love from Cincinnati ❤😊
I’m on day 3 Cincinnati too!
Yes!!! ❤❤ welcome sis! I wish you the best journey.
I couldn’t even focus on what you was saying I had to watch it about 4 times .. it should be a crime to be this beautiful 😭😭
I wasnt expecting such an organic, real and honest video as this is❤ Very well created
Awww , I really appreciate that 🥹☺️ . Thank you for watching .
Loved this video queen 🙌🏾, i am 4mos into my 2nd journey and i am super excited. My hair is bunching like crazy and i actaully love the ununiformed look on myself as well. Most people talk about it as if it is something that needs to be fixed. But i loved when yannie the locologist explained it as having a birth mark and is something that does not need to be fixed. But to each its own i guess. Im going to embrace my bumpy, curly, lumpy babies. Beautiful locs!!
Aww thank you so much for watching !! 💕💕💕💕💕💕welcome to the fam 💃🏽🌱 . But yes I love that ! People definitely look at it that way . But the bunching is beautiful to me , so do you boo ! Embrace it all !!
Good stuff, Queen!
I'm in my 6th month and up until this video, I thought bunching was a cusre!
How delightful this video is, thank you for the tips 💜🙏🏾
Aww I'm honored you feel that way ! Thank you for watching 😊💕
I really needed this!! I'm starting my loc journey in 3 weeks. I'm really excited about it. Bomb video...
Woot woooooot ! 😅🥰🌱 it’s almost that time then ! Good luck . Thank you so much for watching !
Great info, I'm in month five of my journey and NGL I've felt discouraged at times, but your words really gave me a boost.
I have watched your 3 what to expect videos over and over again since I reloc'd January '24. You are in my top 3 loc'd ladies getting me through the starter phase with ease. Thank you, and hope you are well... 💜💜💜
New follower! Love your energy and positive vibes!
Thank you I ABSOLUTELY NEEDED TO HEAR SOME OF THESE THINGS I JUST STARTED MY JOURNEY YESTERDAY/TODAY 🥰✨
Aww you are more than welcome ! 🥰🌱 Welcome to the fam ! Thank you for watching love .
I’ve lost count of how many of these type of vids I’ve watch… and this is the best one so far… thank you
Ayeeee, go me! lol thankkk you 🤍🌱
I'm on my second set of locs (my first set I had for 2.5 years w/ 93 locs) and this set I have 45 and it's been 2 months. And it's so much harder this time around... I even bought conditioner to comb them out, but one of them started budding and now I feel like I'm betraying my hair if I give up so soon. Pray for me. 😭❤ Love your channel.
Aww it's still so early ! What is making you want to comb them out ?! &What happened w the first set ? I see you went thicker this time , I love it 🥳😍 . Im rooting for both of our second sets girl lol . BUT do what's best for you my love . Thank you so much for being here &watching 💕
Don't take them out please.. I have 48 and I love them. I'll be 2 months in 2 days. Just let them be Queen you'll love them once they're matured.
Oh girl idk what gave you that impression lol these are never coming out , ever . I love my Locs . I’m good to go this time love ❤️
@@HerbNLocs going on 3 months next week and I’m doing better! I actually have 44 now😅
I cut my last set in august of 2020. I didn’t feel connected to them/I think I got bored during the pandemic. But i loved my short hair. She was really cute! But I’m very happy to be locking again and i even got my gf to loc her hair! 🤎
What made you take out your first set? If you don't mind
Tender headed is an understatement! 😂😂 I’ve always been semi tender headed but I’m on a different level now. I started this journey and maintain it totally myself and love every minute of my journey. Great video.
Lmaooo right ! My head be screaming for help after 10 minutes sometimes so I get it 🤣 I’m so glad you’re enjoying the journey ! It really is amazing 💕💕 . Thank you for watching !
This was such a great video as well as informative! Wonderful energy! Great gems shared!
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
I’m new to my loc journey.
This video gave the best insight on the process. Thank you Queen 👑
You are more than welcome my love 😘 I hope all is going well with your journey .
I love how you explain it all as always I really enjoyed the watch and appreciate you ❤️
Aww thank you so much 😅🥰 I'm so glad you're enjoying what I have to offer . I appreciate all your support ❤️
love this a lot, just started mine with two strand twists yesterday!
Ayeee congrats 🥰 i hope it's going well. Thank you for watching ❤️
Thank you for all your information. I’ve been contemplating whether to start my loc journey for many years. I finally decided to start this year next month. I’ve been wanting to start it for the longest.
Woot wooooooottt! 🥰🥂congrats on taking the step finally! I hope you LOVE it!
I found this video for a reason. I began my loc journey today and I didn’t realize how much heat damage I had in two areas in the front. I’m just praying I don’t chicken out and cut off my hair.
What a wonderfully well-rounded video on the topic of what to expect within the first year or so of one's loc journey.
I had locs for seven years. I cut them off for deeply personal reasons. I am currently growing out my hair again to restart my locs.
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of regrowing my locs since I learned so much both through my own experience and through the study of locs and of hair (specifically afro hair) in general.
I consider myself somewhat of a loc veteran, although there is always room to learn more. One thing that I have learned is that what happens to me on the inside (my internal environment) is at least as important as what happens on the outside. That is - my dietary choices, the degree to which I keep myself hydrated, my overall physical wellness, and my mental/emotional health. All of that is as significant as washing, oiling the scalp, moisturizing, covering the hair at night, etc.
Much Respect and Much Love to you! Thank you for this video! 💛🙏💛
Glad I found your channel; love your content and video. So on point with all you covered.
Awww I’m glad you found me too ! Thank you so much for watching 💕 I appreciate you !
What a wonderful video! Thanks for sharing, Sis!❤
You are more than welcome ❤️
I’m 4 mths in and I’m loving it. I started with two strand twist and have microloc 400+. Im in the budding phase and having fun with it. ❤
Ayeee cheers to 4 months &many more ! Glad to hear you are loving it all 🥰🥂 I'm sure they are beautiful &full .
Love the video and your personality. Just started my starter locs comb coils last week and then put into a style due to the nature of my job. Im tender headed as well. Can't wait till it matures.
Thank you so much 🥰🌱 but that’s amazing to hear! I hope your journey has been going well.
Young lady you created a beautiful video. Thank you for the loc wisdom.
Aww , thank you so much . I'm honored . You are very welcome ☺️🤍 . Thank you for watching !

This is one of the best i'v watched so far. Great video, very informative
Omg awww, thank you so much! I really appreciate the love. ❤️
This video is everything I learned and laughed at the same time I’m almost three months with my starter locs ❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾
Omg aww lol . I'm glad I could help &entertain 😅🥰🌱 &Ayeee cheers to three months &many more !

This video gave me life! Thank you!❤️
Awww I'm glad ! Thank you for watching 🥰❤️
I’m almost 4 months into my microloc journey (250+ locs started as coils maintained with interlocking) and I struggled feeling comfortable with myself with my locs but as time goes on I LOVE THEM 🥹
Whewww 250 Locs ! I could only imagine 😭🌚 but I’m sure they are beautifullll &nice &full . I’m glad things have turned around for you ! I’m sure it’ll only get better !!!! ❤️🥰🥰
2 strand twist free form high top locs,3 months in im trusting the process i treat my locs beautifully and only use natural oils 😌thank you so much for your advice no such thing is a ugly stage! Much love to you and your beautiful loc journey
I am 1 month in and am Puerto Rican my frizz is INSANE! I'm pushing thru thanks to this video lol
Ayeee lol push through ! Let’s get it 😉🤍 glad I could help ! So much will happen , just hang in there .
Great video! I start my journey next week. Your hair is gorg 😍!!!
This is such welcomed information. My hair looks a lot like yours. The fatties (my buds) are entertaining and they all have their own personalities. I’m 7 months in and everyday I give them a little pep talk and I’m so proud of them. I don’t want to over-product them because I’m not washing as much as I would ordinarily. I’m finding tea tree sprays between wash days are helpful and rose water and a light oil are working for scalp and locs. Thanks for sharing.
I love the locs w personality the most 🥹💕 Awww that's too cute though ! I'm glad you're loving on your babies every day ! Definitely good to not over do it w the products . But the products in between that you're using sound amazing ! Great recommendation . That you for watching Love !! 🥰
Fantastic video! Thank you. I needed to hear all of this. ❤
Thank you so much ☺️ Glad I could help!
I strted my loc journey, this month makes 4 months since i took that bold step, am honestly loving the way my locs look right now, its a freedom 😊😊😊
FREEDOMMMMM 😎🥰🌱 I love to hear it!
I’m 5 months and 14 days in my loc journey I’m so happy 💖☺️🙌🏾 with my journey 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Woot Woot ! 💃🏽🥳 awww well I’m glad you’ve been enjoying it ! It’ll only get better &better 🥰
Thanks for this video! ❤️ I'm starting my loc journey tomorrow and I'm super nervous/excited 😬
Omg how is it going ?! 🥹🤍 &Thank you for watching !
This is so helpful ! Starting my loc journey tomorrow 🎉
Aww yay! Hopefully you started and it's going well 😘
Damn I started my journey a week ago and needed this amazing video. Thank you queen. You are stunning BTW
Thank you so much 💚 Glad I could help! Hopefully it's been going well.
This video makes me feel so much better about my hair. It's currently 4 months and sometimes it gets fuzzy and not so "groomed" and I personally don't mind it being that way. Certain comments from others is the only issue. But this video helped me to gain back my confident because I love my babies on my head even though they arent fully matured. Thank you for this
Awww I’m glad I could help 🥹💕💕 I hope you keep that confidence love ! I’m sure they are beautiful & only getting better !
I started about a month ago, I am mixed black and I started with comb coils. I'm being patient and just not thinking about them. Tea tree oil definitely helps with the itching, my only regret is that I didn't start sooner. Everything you talked about hit home, coils coming out, frizzing, all of them not looking the same. Thank you for making this video, it has made me feel better and more confident. It's definitely a journey but I'm glad I started it. I know this is from a few years ago. Subscribed and thank you!
Oh boy! The dos and don'ts. 😂 When you think you're on the right track, someone bursts that bubble.
When you starter pop lock-in tho 😂😂😂 I love the video. Thank you on encouraging me to not listen to what people say about me starting my locs!
Lol it just felt right 😎🤣 I'm so glad that I could help ! Just listen to yourself &trust that your Locs will lead you in the right direction . Don't be afraid to start ! You'll wish you did sooner ❤️ We all do ! Thank you for watching love .
Im starting my loc journey soon and I appreciate rhis video a lot thanks so much!!!
You are very welcome 🤍 Good luck!
Loved the video I'm 3 weeks in 2 strand I'm looking crazy but I'm here for the ride.
Lol that’s alright ! Just strap in ! It’ll be a great ride 😅🌱
3 weeks now, the word is frizz, its frizz and short feeling discouraged , but this really encouraged me. Thank you ❤
That 3 weeks will be 3 months realllll soon 🥰🌱 You got this!
You really do save money with locs 😂 sometimes I just moisturizer with water for a while if I feel like putting my money else where.
Lmaooo now that's a hack right there 😅 water is the best moisturizer so I aint mad !
I love this video I got my starters less than a week ago and this video really helps :)
Awww yay ! Welcome 🤗 I’m glad I could help !
Me too, let's enjoy the journey
I’ve been contemplating locking my hair and actually bought all the stuff to do it at home today. I’m planning to put in twists this weekend and see where things go!
I was really worried about them being “ugly” and frizzy because my family is from the Caribbean and I honestly didn’t realize how much texturism I’ve internalized. But your video reassured me that our hair is beautiful in every form and I feel ready to start this journey so thank you 💕💕
Do it ❤
I’ll be 1yr Loc’d 🔐 end of March. I wish I did it 10yrs ago 😊
@@ChocolateMelanin I started them I think the day of or the day after I wrote this post with two strand twists. I’m really excited to see what my hair does!
No worries I didn't feel that way until I was 65 years old. I'm almost at 2 years and I've never looked back. I love how embracing my natural hair makes me feel. Never again will I perm or straighten my hair or have a weave...
Awww I'm so happy for you! Cheers to doing what makes you happy and I hope you experience nothing but love along the ride! 🥰🌱
@@HerbNLocs Thank you 💕💕. I just hit one month with them and they’ve already developed so much. They’re getting frizzy and the ones in the back are already trying to bud. I’m so proud of them 💖. I mist them with water every other morning like little plants.
As a male this video helps me a lot. I been watching all types of videos on what to do and not to do or how to do it. I'm about 8 months in with my locs. I like how you breakdown on how your hair grows and what to expect. Other videos don't give you good details. For me since I didn't have long hair I started from scratch and had a taper. I love how my has progressed. And I didn't go to a stylist I did it all myself.
Omg I always love to hear from my men too ! Thank you so much for watching . I'm glad you found it more helpful than most 😅 . &Oooh a taper , so you get to reallllly experience that crazy growth that's about to happen ! But doing it yourself just makes it hit a litttttttle different .
This was so informative and I’m happy I watched this video and now I want to start my loc journey 💜 Thank You 😊 so much
Yes yes yes to all of these pints!
Yesss I’m glad you agree 🥰😘
You gave great info!
Aww thank you ! I try 😅🥰
Thank you started loc journey exactly one week ago a lot of shrinkage getting comfortable best decision ❤❤
Awww yay ! So a little over two weeks now . Hopefully everything is going great still ! it truly is a beautiful journey . Thank you so much for watching 💕
Thank you!! I was worried 😂 happy that it’s all normal
Lol take a deep breath Erica ! 😅🥰 You will be amazed at the changes they go through ... just on their own time lol . Glad I could help !
absolutely stunning crown I love it 😍
Aww I appreciate it 💕
I’ve just started my locs and your video really helped me. All my friends kept questions my why I am doing it but it’s my hair and my journey thank you so much ❤️
Aww this just made me so happy ... okay ... I really just started tearing up ... partially because it's almost that time of the month lol . But Im just really grateful that I have the opportunity to help you guys out . It feels good to hear that you are pressing on ! Trust me once your locs get mature they are gonna be asking you how to start them ! lol . Keep your head up &trust the process my love ! Thank you so much for watching 🤍
Your so amazing god has really blessed you with a gift you have such a beautiful soul. And yes i know but I feel so much more as peace I’ve learnt to love my hair so much more

Yessss speaking factz 🔥🔥🔥
Somebody got to speak it ! 🤣🥰💕 thank uouuuuu
Nice video. Your voice is so relaxing!
I appreciate you watching ! Glad you liked it . &Aww lol thank you .
Thank you very informative and reassuring
Aww thank you so much for watching ! I'm glad it was helpful 🤍
My locs are frizzing, shrinking, and budding. I did starter locs on my shoulder length natural hair. It definitely wasn't what I expected. But I love my mane.
Aww ! They're just doing their job lol . I'm glad you're loving it ! 🤍
Just seeing this..... thanks for the support...... I just started two strand this month...... so I am truly a beginner....... I love your locs...... I have a lot of gray so I am embracing my loc journey along with getting older
Aww you are more than welcome Rolanda 🤍 Yess embrace all of it ! I am sure they are beautiful &only going to get better ! Gray locs are GORGEOUSSSS 🌱 Welcome to the fam .
Just got my hair started with two strand twists two days ago. I’m 90% gray and this hair is fighting back already. 😂😂
It's the way you took out your ponytail and your locs just laid perfectly 🥰 no mirror needed lol
Omggg 🥺🥰💕 lol thank you ! One of my favoriteeee things about it . It’s just always too easy
The music and your voice got me vining at 3:13 am wow
Finally someone with hair like mine I got a lot of bunching and was worried if I should just cut it all off thank u so much
Im so glad this popped up because I started November 12th
🥰 Omg aww , well I'm glad . How has it been going ?
That's the beauty of wearing your hair natural any style you want goes. I'm constantly trying new products some work good some great some I have no idea. Tropical roots growth oil, wild growth oil, peppermint oil, pumpkin seed seed oil are a few favorites. Always use sulfur 8 weekly especially for sides that start thining. I retwist whenever I feel like it and have a lot of new growth. For the summer a friend interlocked my hair cause I go swimming a lot and it's holding up wonderfully
I’m 4mths loc’d and I’m in love 🌱with them, I went through the shrinkage phase now their thickening & Lengthing, I’m embracing the frizz In fact they make them look fuller. Thx for vid, my beautiful loc sis. We got this!! 💪🏾
Hi My Loveeee 🥰💕 Cheers to 4 months and MANY moreee ! I'm glad you're embracing the frizz ! It don't hurt nobody lol . Just tryna do it's job . I'm glad you are loving this journey so far 🌱 It is truly amazing . Thank you so much for watching Boo ❤️
I absolutely love my locs🧘🏾♀️…5 months 🔒
Isn’t it just the best feeling ? 🥹😩😍🌱 it’s so beautiful . 5 months will turn into 5 years real soon 😅
In March, I’ll have been loc’d a year, I absolutely love them, they are a tribute to my son. I’m waiting on full maturity, so I can add two of his. They’re so dry, but it’s growing
Aww that is so sweet! I love that gesture ❣️. My Locs are honestly so dry right now as well, but I know I haven’t been doing my part.
You and your locs are so Beautiful yessss
Aww thank you so much 🤍
I really needed to hear that part about my locs frizzyness, I have a loose 3b curl so my two strand twists get very frizzy and loose easily
That’s okay ☺️🌱 Just give them to time to take their form!
With my two/three months old short frizzy unraveling starter Locs (oh did I mention on fine thin hair) EVERYDAY is a bad hair day! But I’m trusting the process. For now. 😂🥺
Ohhhh two , three months ?! Give them a break ! 😩🤣 You wouldn't expect a newborn to be walking that early would you ! Lol but seriously , its okay 💕 That is all expected . My first set , I had a few around my perimeter that just kept coming out ... but eventually they just started staying . The frizz , is just going to be a thing for a while , so you are going to have to learn to love that one to make things easier for yourself 😅 If you don't trust it , you'll never see what you really missed out on 🥹 These stages are temporary !
@@HerbNLocs love the encouragement! Thank you so much.
@@Supa_Soul_Sistah You are more than welcome 💕 Hang in there .
Me too!!! 😂I don’t care though because I don’t have to do my hair!!!
i originally started my locs in oct 2021 and combed them out in june to restart with smaller ones and i am struggling this time around!!! idk why. i'm sure when i started the first set, i also had a hard time, but now i'm missing them...my hair is so frizzy right now, hair coming out of the loc, alla this stuff that makes me regret restarting 😫
this vid is making me feel better. i just looked thru my camera roll and i definitely dealt with frizz in the beginning of my first set, i'm just forgetting all that and romanticizing when they were mature. i am going to stop messing with my hair and just let it grow! it'll mature! it'll get less frizzy over time! i know it cus i lived it, i just have to be patient and stop messing with it. thank you for this vid ❤
You got it! You know FIRST HAND what needs to be done... and that is be patient! 💚🥰🌱. I know it may seem hard now, but you know you'll get right back to that beautiful mature stage. With being aware that it is in fact a process, the best you can do is embrace what's going on now. Get ready for the come up! You got this love! 🌱 Cheers to trusting the process. I don't even miss my first set because I'm back baby!
Im 5 months into my loc journey and it has been a beautiful one i love seeing the stages the of each one the expansion ones bigger than the other lol i guess i expected all even locs lol over all i loove my locs
Awww yeah if it’s one thing those Locs are gonna do … it’s be original ! Lol they play by their own rules . But I’m glad to hear you’ve been enjoying ! It’s beautiful on this side 🌱🤍
@@HerbNLocs yes it is one of many things my loc journey is teaching me is that I dont have to be perfect in this life. Being raised in a religious home everything had to be right inside the home and outside the home and i have been getting myself out of the i have to be perfect mindset even with my locs💛
Started my loc journey with two strand twists 23 days ago and the frizz is out of control lol your tips really helped!

And you jusu got a new subscriber here!!!
Ayeeee I appreciate you oh sooooo much ☺️
awww omg i love thisssssssss! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
🥰 Don't make me blush lol . Thank you boo ❤️
This helped a lot! My Loc’s are about to turn 5 months old & I am absolutely in love with them. Today I was feeling them up, lol & I noticed a few were bunched up. I’m like, jeeze, when will the shrinkage end?! Lol but all in all I love this journey!
Aww yay ! I'm glad to hear this helped you out 🥰 But yesss ! The next 5 months will FLY by ... then next thing you know BOOM it's been a year ! Lol it's such a beautiful process to watch . Hopefully you continue to fall more in love . The shrinkage will leave whenever she's ready but she'll make it worth your while 😆 They get long so fast !
Thank you so much for watching ❤️
@@HerbNLocs yes!! I hear that a lot on how long they get so fast. My original length with loose natural hair was to my bra strap, or a little over. So it’s getting use to having shorter hair, which isn’t a problem at all.
Honey you just inspired this ol’ lady to go ahead & do this! I’ve been pondering whether my salt & pepper, loose natural hair would “lock”. I’m now prepared for the adventure! 🧗🏽♀️
We all have wonderfully different textures, so our individual Loc journeys will be our own~to embrace. There’s no “ugly stage”; it’s only in the minds of those who fail to appreciate. So thanks for the encouragement & the useful tips.🥰
I’m not a fan of using unhealthy products, nor manipulating my hair~except for herbal shampooing, conditioning/moisturizing. Silk scarves/bonnets/headbands will still be used.
I use natural light oils, like jojoba on my scalp, already.
Locs reign!👸🏽
Your Locs are beautiful & you are lovely!🌺 This presentation is fantastic!💯
🙏🏽🥰👵🏽🥰
Woot wooooot ! Go head then Miss Lady ! 🥰🤍🌱 I love to hear it . &The salt &pepper locs are always sooooo beautiful ! So even more reason for you to start !
❤️ It's such a beautiful variety ! &"In the mind of those who fail to appreciate" ... I like that ! You are absolutely welcome though . I'm glad you found this video helpful 💕
So your current product routine sounds like it'll work perfect whenever you do transition over to the locs ! I'll be waiting on you to let me know you started lol .
Thank you sooo , so much . I appreciate you watching ☺️💕💕
@@HerbNLocs Will do!🙏🏽🥰
Yes miss lady, come on board. I’m 8 months in and loving the journey. Each Loc has its own personality. 😂 I am finding my greys aren’t as sparkly. I’ve been natural for 30+ years and I stick to natural products. I’m considering using a shampoo for grey. Wishing you an amazing journey.
Yes ma’am I’m going on 17 months and I’m loving the grey hair locs they are absolutely beautiful to me
i’m trying to start my locs & i cannot find a loctician in new york at all , im thinking about trying to start them myself & this video is helping so much !! thank you i love your locs !
Cant find a loctician in NY ?! I’m super surprised . What’s making the search so hard ? But hey ! I’m all for the self start 🥰 I’m glad I can be helpful &i really appreciate the love 🤍 . I have a video of when I started but I struggled my way through the process ! That may help you out but I’m sure there’s some great videos that will actually teach you how to a little better . Good luck w whatever you decide !
@@HerbNLocs yess it’s so hard out here , it’s like no one tends to natural hairstyles anymore on wigs & weaves for the females & i guess just regular haircuts for the guys , also many people out here that have locs do them at home or pay an arm & leg to get them done. i will definitely check out that video tonight thank you so much for the recommendation & kind words love ❤️❤️
@@tykwan_ Oh wow , I can definitely believe that . That's sad though . Have you tried looking on Instagram ? #NYloctician or something maybe . But even w that I'm sure they are probably charging a crazy amount . Well don't be afraid to dive in yourself . Doesn't hurt to try and if you dont like how it comes out , just comb it right out ! But i'm rooting for you lol . You are very welcome love !!
Hope you did and how’s it going?
Thank you.. on my way to 3 months 😚
Woot woooot ! I'm sure time is flyingggg by 😅🌱
“You can’t birth 50 kids and expect them all to be the same.”
Well ... 😭🤣
Lmaooo I’m ok with them telling me when I’m going to take my twist out my hair cause people be asking me when I’m gon get my hair done cause it’s always in a bun. 😅 so I’m totally fine with that. It’s why I’ve decided to loc my hair because I’ve done so many styles in my years on earth and I’m tired now just wanna loc and go
lol JUST COME ON TO THE LOC'D SIDEEEEE !!!!!
I’m new!! I’m so happy to find someone with thicker locs like mine!!!!! *eats popcorn * I just started like two months Agooooooo 🎉
Heyyyy 😜🌱 Team Thickiiii ! Welcome to the fam . I've been wanting some popcorn lately too btw lol .
Yes can't do high ponytail's, my ends have curved some of them. Have a few that have grown that way. I'm also super tender headed.
Very informative thank you
