This is me. I wear mini twists, twist outs, wash and repeat. I should be finishing my starter locs tonight or tomorrow. Here’s to a new journey.

I started my locs myself with two strand twists on 8/14/2021. I'm officially one year loc'd as well. Congratulations for sticking it out. I believe the toughest part is behind us now.

Omgoodness we basically started same time. I started random two strand on Aug 18th. I0 days later for several days I was in the sea water in the islands back home so not sure if that hindered or helps but I know salt water is good for the hair. I hope to post vids on this journey. Hows it going so far?

@@chastemade so far so good! I had to braid some of my roots a bit so the damn things would stop coming untwisted lol. It’s also dry as the damn Sahara, my natural hair is always so dry!!

@chastemade Жыл бұрын

@@kparrott34 oh wow on the braiding.. I haven't yet retwisted mine and dnt think I will be doing so for awhile but thinking about doing more oil soaks to help with dryness. The Mango Jamaican oil is really nice for hydration and if you keep silk or satin wrap on while sleep or with some styles.

I want to start locs but, and i know this sounds silly but I’m conflicted because I want them to be thick because I know it will suit me but at the same time, I want them to me small and thin so I can do the same hairstyles I did when my hair was out. Great video btw!

I'm planning on starting my loc journey pretty soon. I've been binge watching loc videos, educating myself ,on the sizes, parts, moisture care, do's and dont's etc. I've been wanting locs for the longest but I haven't done it bc of other people opinions/disapproval. I finally stop giving a f*ck about what ppl thought and decided to do what I want. Question, did you do random parts or did you go row to row?

@@SadeNimea I would use a DIY ayurvedic oil blend on my scalp to boost hair growth. And a simple lightweight blend on my locs (almond, apricot, infused with herbs). I would also do hot oil treatment using thicker oils (castor oil, avocado, and the likes) before shampooing. Happy to help ☺

@WholesomeBahon 5 ай бұрын

Tysm 🥰 I hydrated my locs with either water or a mix of rose water, aloe juice and water. Then I applied a DIY oil blend with castor oil, almond oil, macadamia oil, avocado oil and some essential oils. I’d suggest you use oil that you know your hair likes.

Your hair is beautiful before and with locs. Your hair was so long before locs and clearly your hair is growing with locs. But Im concerned because I dont have the length you had when you started loca and my hair shrinks a lot when its wet. Hopefully I dont get a lot of shrinkage

@WholesomeBahon Жыл бұрын

My hair significantly shrunk during the first 8 months. After which I started seeing length. It's a patience game 😉

@Sweetiesplanet Жыл бұрын

Don't worry about the length Kara, that will undoubtedly come; just enjoy the journey of falling in love with your hair and getting to know it like never before. It's very spiritual for me. I covered mine for the first six months or so because I wanted it to be personal. enjoylove

Omgoodness. Love your video and soothing voice Sis. I randomly put small two strand twist in my hair Aug 18th this year so I'll be one month in tomorrow.. 😁 I'm so nervous I dnt know if I did them too small or what the results will be not having them uniformed or parted neatly. I'm anxious for the journey if I can hold on. 🙏🏾 Hopefully will post a video of my journey also if my hubby will let me show my hair on camera 🙂

@WholesomeBahon Жыл бұрын

I'd say it's best to redo them early on as the mooking process won't be uneven. Thank you 🥰

@chastemade Жыл бұрын

@@WholesomeBahon Yes that was the plan but it took so long to take out..lol So I just took them out Friday so was only in for a month and half. I think I will go ahead being a loose natural for now caz I do enjoy my various curly styles. I did see about 3 inches growth while they were twisted so I think I will do a protective twist style about every 3-4 months and leave for 6 weeks.
