10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting Locs

Am a week into my locks😂

Whoa you’re gorgeous!!

Im 3 months into my loc journey 😂❤

Girl thank you for this. Am about to take the leap of faith and do mine. Am scared

thank you so much girl, your gorgeous locs have most definitely inspired me!! 🤩

How long should I wait to dye my new locs when I get them?

No.8 is the reason I'm committing

This is literally my sign

First off you have beautiful. Gotta get that out the way. Alright but I’m 7 months in on my journey now. That’s exactly what it is. A journey. Be looking rough some days lol. Thuggin it out. Keep up with the 🔥 content.

Maxine from Living Single always shone like a jewel when I was a kid. I was captivated by her locs. Finally on my journey long after this video was published, and very thankful you shared your lessons so someone from the future could get the extra encouragement to keep going ❤❤❤ you've got beautiful energy and locs

💪🏽💪🏽

Brilliant Queen...

Not a critique but utilize rooms that are not empty when recording as the reflections from your voice bouncing off the walls can distract the sensitive ears, especially we in the Audio Recording World.

Basically....it makes your videos March towards the One Million mark!!

Now, thank you for other things. I for years have wanted to loc my hair when I had hair but being very muscular and tall many people stated that I would frighten people.

I didn't do it because people were frightened of me anyway and I didn't want to increase that.

Now I've got a foot in the grave, family male pattern baldness going on, but my call is a spiritual one strongly and now included a cultural one.

I applaud you of your decision and thank you for pressing me forward towards mine young queen!!

People go by your spirit and it's connection intrinsically and intuitively in all things.

I have always shaved myself bald after growing up in the Afro, Cornrows braiding Era and shaving cut my connection with those constraints, one always searching for women who braided well.

Anyway not to horde space, thank you and I will continue to let me hair grow out and find a great Loctitian to start my increased spiritual quest!!

Bless you dear heart for your spirit, your convictions, and for gifting da old dude with your beauty!!

All the Best!! 🙇🏾‍♂️🕊🙏🏿👆🏾💯👌🏿🤗🍷🌹

🗣️This Is My Confirmation yes yes yes Appointment Made Excited 🙌🏾🙌🏾🤟🏾Thanks sis ❤️

🥰

Hello I’m one year locs and I’d trying my best to keep it going but I want some change and I’ve come across a few of videos and the color you have in the above video I’ve been trying to get can you tell me what you used and process thank you ❤

It’s the Year of “2023” in that statement kick rocks with no socks 😂😂😂😂😂! I love it

So glad I finally started my journey on Saturday!

Everything in this is me word for word bar for bar. I started my journey only a month ago and I’m in love. Crazy to say I felt an immediate difference in myself when I finished my starter Locs . I can relate to every point you made changing styles often and all. I just feel like locking your hair allows you see your self in a light people don’t really give a chance . But in all no regrets 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

i stopped combing my hair almost 3 weeks ago, had locs twice but combed them out because of comments and judgements, this time around im doing freeform locs instead of twist n rip
(what i did before)
If people ask my my hair looks different, i'll simply say,
"i'm letting mother nature play her song on my hair"

❤

I didn't think locs were stylish when I was younger. Now I'm sixteen, I found this video then truly took a deep dive into what it meant to have locs and now I've started my own journey...after this morning's hair appointment and I have no regrets. I fall on the shrinkage side for starters, but I have no doubt that I will see such beautiful growth later down the line.😊

💫❤️💫🌹🌹🌹✨

How long does your locs last. It’s going to be my first time lock-in up

Love my locs journey and wish I had done it sooner.😊💕

are your locs considered "traditional" locs? they are very pretty....do you dye them before or after the loc install?

I asked at 13 I’m still 13 :P but turning 14 this aug :D

5 years ago I used to see your photos on Pinterest. I felt like you're sooo relatable and it was right at the beginning of my spiritual journey as a lightworker. I'd been having dreams getting locs installed so I went on to get faux locs. Then one day I was soothing my 6month old, about 2 years after putting your photo on my intention board, I felt so unprotected, a lot of chaos was going on. I put her down for a nap and I went into the bathroom and cut all my hair with a pair of scissors. My sister, who's also grown into her gifts, woke up with a dream from our great grandma scolding me asking why I cut my hair when they'd been telling me to grow locs. I had had them grown long ago before that, so I had them stored away. I tied up my hair to bantu knots, small ones, woke up and installed them. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago I've been going through a spiritual awakening, an intense one. I woke up and wanted to cut my hair and dye it ash blonde. The same day I went out with my now 3yo daughter to get some house supplies, I was in tears on the way, it was raining, so I started speaking to my ancestors while driving. I couldn't get the supplies anywhere, my crown looked ravaged. I pulled up to this kiosk, got my baby out, got everything there. Went into the car and just sat for a moment when a gentleman knocked on my window, he says "I love your locs, if you're ever looking for someone to help maintain them please come to my salon" he said it pointing at his place. I told him I'd just been putting off cutting them moments ago. Fast forward today I'm knee deep in turmoil, lost a noticeable amount of weight, it's raining the samw amount as last time, I think to myself hey I wanna grow some pot plants, I wanna put my energy into nature again I've been indoors for weeks now. Then I scroll through stories and there you are planting. I'm thinking yes!! Her again! Binged on your videos, restoring my crown as we speak. Thank you. Thank you soo much for always being my good pivot. Always. You're always a good sign to me some how. Thank you. Just. Thank you

About to start my loc journey. It’s long overdue

#1 Your skin is DIVINE!
#2 You we're so funny when you said to your MOTHER "You don't know me". 🤣 Don't we all say that to our mothers at one point or another even though they know us better than we know ourselves? Even when they're wrong they still know us so well that we can't even count the times their wrong against them.

Yassss!

I am starting my journey today, so I am here looking at videos. I’m excited!

Hi I have a question yh
Is it possible to make locs with relaxed hair ?
LOVE your video ❤

My loc journey starts in a few hours and I am so excited.

Yes! You are a goddess all the time, I love that!

This has solidified it for meeee, I’m startinggg

Thank you 🌹

“I guess that’s kind of a downside” 😂😂😂

Started my loc journey 2 weeks ago

Did you do your own locs ?

I had been wearing my hair in a buzz cut for years. I'm growing it out now and have crochet. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do. When you said you don't like doing your hair you just like looking good, it made me think locs might be for me lol I will watch more of your videos and I also subscribed!

YASSSS GODDESS ALL THE TIME!!!!! Love it!

Im gonna do it 🤧 no more time to waste

“boku” 😂😂 you from Nola or just been around for a while ??
