What angers me the most is when someone thinks they are kind enough to yank off the balls dangling at the ends of the proposed locs!! I am like...excuse me...don’t touch my hair much less yank at it!!!😡😡😅😅😅
Ma’am when you said “comparison is truly the thief of joy “ I instantly subscribed! Just got my starter locs done today and so very excited about my journey, thanks for this video ❤️
I started my journey 3 weeks ago and I'm loving the journey. I am so attentive to my little baby locs and i don't know I just feel sooooo free! Thanks for the video and the comparison line, I so needed that. I found myself looking at other peoples locs seeing how many locs they had etc. Mine are beautiful, this process is beautiful and I will enjoy my journey without interference. God Bless.
Thank you so much for receiving it! Congratulations on your new loc journey! You’ll grow more in love with the growth and evolution of your locs and yourself as time passes. Peace and love ❤️🙏🏾
I want to start locs because I don’t really like to do anything with my hair I want to just do a style and go and these are really useful tips. Your locks are beautiful too!
I just started my loc journey with coils like 2 days ago, i don’t like it😂maybe i’m just an impatient person but i can’t wait for it to lock up so that i can style it🙂
i’m starting mine on march 27th and my hair is at a good length already so im excited, and i’ve watched a couple of other do’s and donts and NOBODY said not to pull on the ends, thank you so much 🖤
I just want to say thank you for this video bc it was extremely educational. My bf is having some discrimination problems at his work with his natural hair and has asked me to loc his hair for him since I have cosmetology experience and bc we cant afford to go to a professional locktician atm. Unfortunately though my cosmetology experience was also very white-led and we didnt learn much about how to do hair for black people (one of the reasons I left the school I was at) and I found your video and it is going to help so much.
Thank you 🙏🏾 I hate that you and your boyfriend are experiencing these inequalities. I appreciate you for receiving these tips and I wish you great success as you continue to expand your experience with natural hair and cultivating locs 🙏🏾
Right the balls drive me crazy, when I was a loose natural I ALWAYS wore wraps because when I’m bored I keep my hands in my hair. Now that I’ve been loced for a little over 4 months now I still do it and I can’t wrap my hair at work, so now as soon as I get home I have a wrap waiting for me at the door to keep me from messing with my hair
Thanks for the tips. This is my second time going locs and I do agree with everything your saying. Right now I am rocking a bob with my locs at first I was like how would I wear my hair when I go to work and then I realize a little make up and fluff my hair and I look so damn fine... keep sharing your videos
Your locs are full and beautiful. I also have fine, low density hair, but thank God for locs. I’m 7 months in and I have about 120 locs. They are dropping and I’m embracing every moment. Great video!
I’m almost 8 months on my journey and I definitely said that I’m not gonna know how to act when all my locs hit shoulder length. The front of my hair is holding me back. Patience is also the thief of joy and not a virtue of mine. 😁
I’m about to begin my lock journey. October 23rd 2021. It’s my birthday gift. From me to me. I’ve been natural for about 7 years. Excited to see what it will look like in a year 😁
Gorgeous !! I love your locs. I definitely have a commitment problem when it comes to locs, but I feel yours are the perfect size for me. And you would rock the middle part. I’m a side part chick too but yours was really cute. Thank you for the inspiration
I've been contemplating on getting locs for a few years now, but after coming across your page I am making the choice to start my journey at the end of this month. I was drawn to your videos/energy. I do have one question. What did you put on your two strands twist when you first started your starter locs? Any curling creams or oils?
@@afrikurl so far, so good! Today makes 7 weeks that I've started my journey. The 3 week mark, my scalp was really itchy. I used vitamin E and peppermint oil to oil my scalp. No major issues since then. In the morning I spray my hair with Rosewater/Vitamin E and head out the door.
@@dinatesfay exactly what she said she used....lol! I used rosewater to dampen my hair. I twist it. Then, I used the SMALLEST amount of aloe vera gel to curl/coil the ends. That's it.
your locs are beautiful!! and i think that because they will never get really thick like that as they grow they won’t really be heavy and you’ll be able to be a lot more versatile... i’m only 70 days in but that’s just what i think. thanks for the tips!
Since I was young, I've always only learned to put natural stuff in my hair. I'm always hunting for oils to use in my hair but I don't really put them in my hair like that, it's just in my room to hang out, that's a habit I need to stop lol.
I just started my loc journey with the two-strand twist method and I am 1week in. I'm feeling a little stressed with the parting system in the front. I have been considering taking them down and starting over. Good luck on your journey.
@@JaeCemma I am using the two strand twist, started over a month ago, but just went a week ago and had my two strand twists done by my long time braider. I wore braids forever and would use extra hair. However, I am excited to not use extra hair added into my natural hair. I feel so free and already see a difference in growth, since I normally have shoulder length hair. My hair was damaged but now I can see a difference in the health of my hair. Thank you for sharing. Your hair is beautiful. Peace and blessings to you 👍💞
I going to be seeing if I can start my loc journey on my birthday July 18 .i want to be them because I have way to much hair I have been natural for more than 6 or 7 years .And I am so tired of having to wear my natural hair then a few weeks later get tired of doing it then getting braids anddd then having to take them knots out my hair .I believe I am ready for something different.
That’s awesome and I hope you’re enjoying your journey if you’ve already started. I know Locs were life changing for me and I doubt I ever return to be a loose natural. Ever.
I am a whole 16 months in and you still taught me something lol, luckily I recently stopped pulling those balls at the end of my locs and got a tool to crochet the hair back in
I'm two weeks in - I started them myself with two strand twists. Totally product free. I live in Ethiopia and I have a guava tree in the garden so I rinse them with guava water every few days. I've rinsed them in the shower every day since day one and they haven't unravelled at all. I might just let them freeform from now on. This is my second set feels so much more of an organic journey this time.
I have cut my hair twice in the past 4 years because it won’t grow equal and my edges won’t grow so I been thinking about starting lock but my state doesn’t have any shops that do locks other than white hairs which is easier to do than black thicker hair . I need some ideas on how I can start my own locks at home
I’ve been natural for a long time now but I just finger coiled my hair a couple nights ago however they don’t look even as full as yours which is fine, my main concern is just that it’s a little straighter due to heat damage and the ends aren’t curling up. I cut off the straight ends in hopes they’ll stay coiled as they grow back out. I’m not good at parting my hair so I just kind of free handed it as well so hoping it doesn’t look too crazy.
I love your locs journey. You have nice length and full size locs that will look stunning as they continue to progress. I’m trying to start my journey now but my locs are kind of thin because I don’t have a full set of hair like yours because I kept shaving my hair off, if I did trust the process, I would of been 4 years within the locs journey and would of gotten better results. Anyways, fingers cross this time 😂❤
Take your time with the decision. There’s no rush in getting started and buzz cuts are fly too! Whenever you’re ready to begin the journey it’ll be right there waiting for you! 💕
Thanks so much , i interlocked for about 3months now, but I have a very itchy scalp..I mousturize my locks, scalp everyday , i apply tea tree oil, wrap with satin bonnet byt still itching especially at night.Can you help me out with any suggestion sis' ..Love
Thank you for watching 🙏🏾 I personally don’t know much about itchy scalp but I’d say possibly switch the oil you’re using to moisturize your scalp to something like jojoba or avocado oil with just a little tea tree oil to see if that helps.
@@JaeCemma Thanks so much, also I was thinking of changing the gel am using for my retwist, Am using Sytlin' dread gel wax, is there any other you would recommend please!?
I love this video. I just started my loc journey and I’m super excited. You said it perfectly about it being like a plant and charging in the sun ☀️ I love it
I have 2 weeks & 2days left lol yes I’m counting the days of starting my loc journey.. @LocNation here in Chicago the owner @Claudius Hardrick creates his own products which I plan on using can’t wait til his lady @Miyaa Mariee get her hands in my head 🤣.... I’ve been natural for 5yrs too!!!! & just cut it shoulder length so excited.. & happy that I landed on your channel.. ☺️ new subscriber🙋🏾♀️
Every video I see on locs they look great, compared to mine, thinking to cut my hair, I'd really love to have even, smooth looking locs. I need help, I need advice.
Well it’s important to trust the journey because all locs look different. Maybe you need more of a consistent regimen for even locs but smooth locs come with time.
...GIRRRRL....."comparison is the thief of JOY!!!" WHAAAAAT you spoke to me right there! I am right at the start of my journey, like super early, 07/03/23 to be exact and I feel like this video, all be it 2yrs was intended for me!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for these words!! Bless you eternally! ...😬 the little hairs, I was already doin that.....oops, ok gatta stop that. I thought I was cleaning it up a bit...even though i'm a few days in lol
I'm about 5 months in and loving my locs! They're about 4". I learned not to pull at the balls because they are actually still tightly attached and not the bee dee bees when I had a fro. I started cutting them, but it makes more sense to weave them back in. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for your videos the arw really helping me i am only in week 3 and i am so excited your loc are beautiful and i plan to follow u the rest of my journey😊
The blue tool is a seam ripper. It's traditionally used by people who sew when a seam needs to be removed. Or if threads are in a place too small for scissors, etc.
Some people like the curly end aesthetic. A lot of people dislike the stringy or straggly ends which is why I’d advocate for necessary trims every once in a while.
Omg my hair also only likes one product when styling and doesn’t like oils or heavy stuff but i use foam when i have to and just like ur hair i have thin hair that will stick to my head 😭
Thanks for sharing. In regards to not putting tension on your hair, does that mean it’s a bad idea to style starter locs to get it out of ones face and in one place. Also leaving it in that style till the 6/8 weeks retouch
Thank you! Starter locs styles are completely fine especially if you’re keeping them in and not manipulating your hair. When I say tension, I mean restyling tight ponytails or buns daily, and apply excess stress on your hair.
Hello love your video thanks for information your hair is beautiful 😍 🤩 one question I started my locs 😊 I'm on day 2 I'm just in a limbo about the first wash cause I know I'm not going to make it to no 3 or 4 mths 🤣🤣
I just subscribed to your channel. I love your hair! I am thinking about starting my loc journey, and have been doing my research 🔬 on it to make sure I just about no all I can before I get started. I am so late to the game but better late than never as they say. My hair is short right now, shaved on the sides and back and I just started letting it grow back so i assume I need to wait alittle while for it to grow back. I’m gonna stalk your channel to learn all I can. I have been watching so many videos and I learned the word, “webbing” from you because I had no idea what that was, so thanks for sharing your journey.
I also liked what you said about don’t compare your hair to others because we all have to have our own journey. I was already doing that with your hair. I had just told my husband that I wanted my hair to be like yours, but like you said your hair is dense and will never have thicker locs. My hair is also dense but may be denser than yours, I won’t no until I get started, so thanks for those suggestions
Started mine May 22 and its not looking like a locs yet and some are loosing back,what do you advise I do cause my mum and sisters said its not a permanent dread and that I should just loose it all..
I'm kind of sad. I got my starter locs done today for my birthday (Halloween). I was so excited about this journey but the locticion I went to made them bigger than what I wanted and so used so much setting lotion and spritz. My hair is pretty hard and flat right now. So now I'm in the process of trying to find someone else in my area.
I completely understand. I had my first set for 30 days and was very dissatisfied. Be sure to get your locs how you like them because it’s your head and you need to feel the most comfortable in them.
@@JaeCemma Thanks for the response! I ended up washing my hair and redoing them myself. I two strand twisted it. I'm so happy with the way it turned out. So excited for this journey.

"Comparison is the thief of joy" I'm taking this with me
🙏🏾✨
I went to my stylist today and complained to him that my dread don't look like dread and he laughed and said your dread is just 2 weeks 😆😆😆
My locs took well into a year to look like locs lol 😆
@@JaeCemma wow
LOL.....
I was saying the same thing after my first month 😁
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What angers me the most is when someone thinks they are kind enough to yank off the balls dangling at the ends of the proposed locs!! I am like...excuse me...don’t touch my hair much less yank at it!!!😡😡😅😅😅
My mom was doing that and I had to create a no pull policy lol 😂
Whoever did that deserved a punch 🤛

You should definitely go for it. Locs have made life so easy breezy and it was a great choice for maintenance and lifestyle
Thank you, I’ve been doing a lot of video watching for do’s and don’ts. I’m excited to start my journey on Dec 1st
Awesome! Congratulations on the beginning of your new journey!!
Congrats on your journey ! You starting on my birthday lol I’ve been locking for almost 6 months now
@damyia how did it go?
@@honeyc1181 thanks, and happy belated birthday
@@mamym3823 best decision I think I’ve ever made!! I’m so ready for my re-twist, my hair grow so fast
“Don’t pull hair from the end of your locs” BIGGEST takeaway I got from this 😭😭😭 I been pulling those out thinking they were gonna fall out anyway!
Me too
Flat to your head ? 🙄. YOU DO HAVE THICK HAIR 😫. And it’s Gorgeous!!
Thank you so much! I guess that’s just my perception of them due to comparison, which is what?The thief of joy 😂
“I let it charge in the sun” 🌞♥️
I just started my lock journey on Feb 1st, honestly can't wait to see the results!!
Congratulations on your new journey! I know it will be beautiful and fulfilling ✨❣️
I did tooo i can’t wait!! For my shit locc, i just want long hair
Just started mine on Feb 27th!!
Locs are the easiest way to get length in my humble experience 👏🏾
Congratulations on your journey 🎉🍾😬

Ok so I need to stop pulling the ends of mine becauuuusse whew... those balls drive me crazy. Thanks for the info

I had hand in hair syndrome in the beginning and it honestly fades over time once you grow accustomed to your new hair 😊
Your hair will loc eventually whether you pull the ends or not, it will just take longer to loc.
Thanks for the tips. This is my second time going locs and I do agree with everything your saying. Right now I am rocking a bob with my locs at first I was like how would I wear my hair when I go to work and then I realize a little make up and fluff my hair and I look so damn fine... keep sharing your videos

I'm new to the locs, I don't want mine to be locd all the way down I want them to be loose on the ends

"Thread cutter" = seam ripper
I'm about 5 months in and loving my locs! They're about 4". I learned not to pull at the balls because they are actually still tightly attached and not the bee dee bees when I had a fro. I started cutting them, but it makes more sense to weave them back in. Thanks for the tip!
You’re very welcome! 🤗
Thank you for your videos the arw really helping me i am only in week 3 and i am so excited your loc are beautiful and i plan to follow u the rest of my journey😊
I’m so glad you find them helpful and congratulations on your new journey 🎊
New subscriber!!! Great video!
Thank you!
The blue tool is a seam ripper. It's traditionally used by people who sew when a seam needs to be removed. Or if threads are in a place too small for scissors, etc.
Love your locs. What color and type of lip gloss are you wearing?
Thank you! No clue. Probably NYX cookie butter I think.
I do not understand yanking or combing out the bottom of your locs. I always felt like it would hinder your loc process.
Some people like the curly end aesthetic. A lot of people dislike the stringy or straggly ends which is why I’d advocate for necessary trims every once in a while.
Im starting my locs tomorrow i cant wait to see what they would look like when done❤❤❤ this helped alot!!
I started one two days ago!👏🏾
Awesome 👏🏾 congratulations on your new loc journey 🎉
Congratulations 🍾🎉
yours are amazing
Thank you ☺️ ❤️
Can someone with short hair start locs, I will love to do locs
Yes! Any length that can coil can loc.
@@JaeCemma thank you
I have a very thick and course afro I'm getting coil locs.Im worried my hair won't stay coiled lol
I have no experience with the coils or thick hair BUT I know them locs about to be big and beautiful!
My twists have not formed into locs yet but when should i do a retwist?
I don’t personally retwist but every 4-6 weeks. Depends on your preference.
I literally started today and I’m scared to mess it up😭😭
Omg my hair also only likes one product when styling and doesn’t like oils or heavy stuff but i use foam when i have to and just like ur hair i have thin hair that will stick to my head 😭
Thanks for sharing.
Just came upon this video. I have had locs for abt 2 weeks. Instantly subscribed. I realized my hair won't have volume either AFTER it was loc'd.
Hello how are you, I’m 4 months in, I’m still learning
Heyy! I’m well and congratulations on starting your journey! I hope you’re enjoying it so far!
This was very helpful. I'll be starting my lock journey in April 2021🙂
Congratulations on your upcoming journey! 🎉🤗
I’m starting my loc journey on Saturday and I’m so nervous
Thanks for sharing. In regards to not putting tension on your hair, does that mean it’s a bad idea to style starter locs to get it out of ones face and in one place. Also leaving it in that style till the 6/8 weeks retouch
Thank you! Starter locs styles are completely fine especially if you’re keeping them in and not manipulating your hair. When I say tension, I mean restyling tight ponytails or buns daily, and apply excess stress on your hair.
Me and my week-old baby locs are just holding on for dear life, and we hope you're right cuz it's rough out here, lol
I use the eden body works too!! I dilute it and have always wondered if I should be using t and I’m so glad I’ve found somebody who also uses it!
Yes ma’am! I dilute it as well because it is so milky. Locs need hydration too 🤗
I really like your personality! You seem really chill! Thx for the tips!
No problem! Thank you for watching! 😬
Just started my Locs June 3 I’m so happy ad excited to see my hair flourish
Woohoo! Congratulations on your new journey!!🎊
Just started mine today!
Hello love your video thanks for information your hair is beautiful 😍 🤩 one question I started my locs 😊 I'm on day 2 I'm just in a limbo about the first wash cause I know I'm not going to make it to no 3 or 4 mths 🤣🤣
You can do it! ❤️ thank you!
I just subscribed to your channel. I love your hair! I am thinking about starting my loc journey, and have been doing my research 🔬 on it to make sure I just about no all I can before I get started. I am so late to the game but better late than never as they say. My hair is short right now, shaved on the sides and back and I just started letting it grow back so i assume I need to wait alittle while for it to grow back. I’m gonna stalk your channel to learn all I can. I have been watching so many videos and I learned the word, “webbing” from you because I had no idea what that was, so thanks for sharing your journey.
I also liked what you said about don’t compare your hair to others because we all have to have our own journey. I was already doing that with your hair. I had just told my husband that I wanted my hair to be like yours, but like you said your hair is dense and will never have thicker locs. My hair is also dense but may be denser than yours, I won’t no until I get started, so thanks for those suggestions
Omg thank you for this video
Started mine May 22 and its not looking like a locs yet and some are loosing back,what do you advise I do cause my mum and sisters said its not a permanent dread and that I should just loose it all..
When mine loosened I just retwisted them. My locs took over a year to fully loc.
Sis, Im starting my locs in 2 weeks!
I’m about to start my loc Journey next month and I’m soo nervous
Congratulations on your journey! I was nervously too but the material speaks for itself.
Best decision I have ever made 🥹😊
I started my journey today can’t wait to see the results
How’s it going?
"Treat yourself like a plant" thank you🌱 ❤
You are so welcome 🙏🏾❤️
Started my loc journey Jan 27, thanks for the tips
I'm having problems with my hair loc'in also...can't get it to work
Lmaooo
Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you my beautiful sister 👍💪🙏💞
I'm kind of sad. I got my starter locs done today for my birthday (Halloween). I was so excited about this journey but the locticion I went to made them bigger than what I wanted and so used so much setting lotion and spritz. My hair is pretty hard and flat right now. So now I'm in the process of trying to find someone else in my area.
I completely understand. I had my first set for 30 days and was very dissatisfied. Be sure to get your locs how you like them because it’s your head and you need to feel the most comfortable in them.
@@JaeCemma Thanks for the response! I ended up washing my hair and redoing them myself. I two strand twisted it. I'm so happy with the way it turned out. So excited for this journey.
That’s exactly what I did! Congratulations on your new journey 💜✨
@@JaeCemma Thanks!
Question, will interlocking stop budding from happening??
Yes, interlocking locs the hair by shrinkage and bunching. Not much budding will happen unless you start with two strand twists like I did.
My hair is so soft … only been three weeks starter locs 🤣 trying not to be discouraged
It will get better for sure. The first few months are the hardest to progress through. You got this!
