Girl that visual aid was on point. You should be a teacher.

This visual aide was PERFECT. I’m almost 6mo loc’d - and no amount of videos, articles, or advice from others was this clear as to what the budding and maturation process looks like. GO OFF!!!

video so well made i said to myself “so this is what the thumbs up button is meant for”

Just got my locs today! Feb 21 2024. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 the journey begins

No one talks about this process enough. Thank you, this was great! I thought I was just retwisting unevenly.

This video may be 2 years old but here I am happy that I stumbled upon this vid as my son got his starter locs today. I sent him this video so he can learn the “budding process”. Thank you for posting this information along with visuals! Not all heroes wear capes ❤❤

Honestly, that visual aid REALLY helped me. I am 3 months into my journey and I’m budding like crazy. Thank you for this. I just have to practice some patience.

You broke this DOWN. Just started my locs today. Thanks for this explanation. Excited for the journey.

I just started my loc journey two weeks ago. I loved your visuals, they really helped me understand the process. Thanks so much. Excellent video!

I have a better understanding of the budding process now. I thought budding was the process of my starter locs shrinking and knotting over time from daily moisturizing, and as my hair shrinks it begins to form a matrix of knots internally. I didn’t take into account the interaction of the starter loc with the shed hair building the internal matrix. So thank you

I went to school & passed my test to become a cosmetology instructor. And sisssss, you taught this VERY WELL👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Yea, that visual aid was amazing! It made a lot of sense even with how simple you drew it.

🙌🏽🙌🏽 I'm a visual learner and this was amazing thank you lol I'm 4 months in a few days. My second retwist, she said it was budding but now I see what she means thanks to your visual aid!!

A few days into month 2 of my loc journey and I’m already getting budding on almost every loc 😍

Listen, this visual aide was PERFECT! I’m one month in and I swear there’s some budding happening already!

ThAnk you, this helps a lot. 1st video after searching for so many where I truly understand the budding process with an accurate visual.

Btw, you are great at replying back to ALLLL of your subbies comments, questions, and/concerns, THAT truly means a lot! That's rare to find on KZfaq. Most of the time, ppl only reply back to 4 or 5 and totally ignore the rest. Thank you for that bcuz we have legit questions and/concerns AND anxiety, when we're starting, wanting to start, and is on our loc journey!

I started my locs last Sunday on the 11th of April and I kept hearing budding talk but yours is the only video that not only helped me understand it but gave me peace with what to expect from the process. I feel like I just became a whole lot more patient after watching your video, thank you. I’m excited for my hair to begin budding this summer and for me to officially become.a part of the loc community. Peace and love sis 🙌🏾

I’m so glad I found you’re channel..I’m currently 3 days into my journey and I’m sooooo excited🥳🥳 it’s so hard finding ppl who just started but you’re close enough! Thank you! Newly subbie here 😬

Excellent video! That visual was so dope! Personality, vibrancy, informative! Keep shining Queen!

I've been doing hair 24 years, your video was awesome and sooooo informative!!!!

Absolutely great visual and video. You are a fabulous instructor. I'm 4 days into my starter locs and your video has really given me a better understanding about the journey.

you're so articulate, this made me understanding budding and my locs a lot better. thank you and your hair is beautiful!

This has been so helpful. I am a few months into locing my daughters hair and this is my first time. I was starting to think I was doing it wrong cause there is so much frizz. Thank you

I feel like I got shown the secrets to the universe lol much needed

Thanks for this video! My inner hair nerd likes your very scientific drawing and your humor as you teach🤓 I think you were having trouble finding a distinct bud/bulge because your loc budding looks far along, with the puffiness taking over most of the length of each loc - I'd say yours are almost "teenagers," the next milestone to watch for! Between my start on May 28 and this week (1st retwist this Sunday, July 7), I already have 1 bud on nearly every loc🎉 - more photos for my Loc Journey Album! So, I'm excited to watch your journey and read everyone's loc experiences - keep "growing," everybody!

BEST VISUAL VIDEO ABOUT BUDDING!!!!! and I’ve watched a million n a half loc videos! Well done!! Thank you!!!!

I am 5 weeks into the process, got my 1st retwist last week. I have been watching tons of videos. Yours is the most informative and your explanations were so relatable. I see you are still responding to comments. This is the reason why this is the first video I've commented on and subscribed to. Thank you for sharing!

i’ve been sponging for 3 weeks and my hair is budding already. Thanks for the visual aid 🙂

Teach girl, Teach!!! You know you did the thang!!! Seriously, I appreciate the time you took in explaining and the visuals you so elegantly provided. You are correct, I do a lot of researching on this exciting budding process that I too am in. However you were very comprehensive and precise with your ocular presentation.

Thank you! I'm doing research on locs and was unsure if this is a sign the the locs have gone wrong or if its a natural and healthy part of the process. This was super helpful!

This is by far the best explanation of the Budding process that I have seen as you've explained. Thank you as my hair is budding nicely. 9 months into the journey. ASE!!!!

Probably the most detailed video yet!!

This video makes so much sense! Thanks! I just started my loc journey about 2 weeks ago.

3 months in and thanks to this vid I’m starting to see a few of my dreads start to bud🐿🧡thank you sm!!!!!

Finally I understand. Thank you!!

I’m about two months in and this is super helpful!

This video has been so helpful 3 months into my loc journey, Thank you !!

Thank you just 2 months in, and I started taking my locs out to when I saw the budding, but I had no idea that was expected... but now is know... thanks to your video

Girrrrlllll!!! Where has this video been!? I’m about a month in and everyone is saying trust the process but I honestly was like how does this even work?? 😅Love love love your visual! And thank you.

Best video I’ve seen yet on budding 😩 thank you girl 😊

Wow this explains it to me so very well!! I’m in the baby stage.

This was one of the best loc journey videos I’ve seen. Thank you for your amazing visual. It was very helpful. I’m one week end and I’m a little bit nervous but I have to remember that everyone’s journey is different. I’m learning to trust the process. 🙏🏿❤️

Thank you for this information. My locs are starting to do this. Thanks for affirming that all is well. I am an artist so I really appreciated the illustrations your provided. Spot on. BTW, I really like your make up, especially your blush. Just perfect! I keep trying to get mine just right - thank you for the inspiration! I wear similar colors on my eyes.

started my joints just now and i saw my first bud. had to watch this!! thank you 👊🏾

Thanks for sharing this with us 😍

This was the most helpful video about budding, and understanding the process. I'm still unclear as to what I am seeing on some of my locs is budding or bunching, but I will give it more time to see, and try to stop smoothing them out lol.

Hi I’ve had my locs 18 months and I always wondered what the buds were thank you for your detailed description 😊

You explained the budding process so well. Really great because I'm naturally a visual learner. The loc matrix seems a whole lot more complex than I thought. Great job!😊

This is my 3rd loc journey and this was thee most informative budding video I've ever seen. Thank you!!

I’m getting my hair loc’d next month. This video was so informative!! Your locs are beautiful!!!!

insanely helpful. that visual aid went hard. thank you!

Your visual aid was SO SO helpful! Thank you! ❤

The first perfect visual of what really happens in all my searching... Your aide was PERFECT! Now I understand

This was the perfect video!!!! Just started mine (2 strand twist method) and aside from thoroughly explaining the budding process, the encouragement is always needed so thank you for this WHOLE video

This video explained so much to me. I appreciate you for this. I’m almost three months in and the frizz and budding is happening.

Oh she had time 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰

Great visual aid. I’m almost 2 months in and my hair has started budding. This really helped me understand, thanks.

I am new to this.. I must say by far the BEST VISUALS.. thank you.

The best description this thank you.

Thx for the great info. The visual aid really helps. Just to learn that the budding process never stops is the best info to have.

I combed out my old set monday and Tuesday and started my finger coil locs Wednesday 2024 this journey beings

That was actually very useful! As Ayanna Walls said...beastmode teaching!

I just starting my locs. I will be happy once my locs start budding.

This is the video that I needed. Thank you for that visual it was on point. Just started my loc journey 5 weeks ago

I started my locs on February 10, 2023 and in the budding stage. I've been sharing for info on budding locs. Your video was on point. Thank you so much❤

Very detailed, vivid, and awesome illustration 💜🌻👑👸🏽

Thank you so much!! Your visual aids were soooooo very helpful!! I know understand budding!! I am more comfortable & hopeful!!

Started my locs 12.21.21 - this is a great explanation of budding. Thanks for the visual!!

SUBSCRIBED!!! I love the break down... I'm 3WEEKS in on my loc journey #committed 🥳💃🏽

The visual is amazing!!!! Starting my locs soon. Thanks for the info!

Thank you this is 1 week journey for my starter loc.

I don't think I said enough about your hand written illustrated " Loc Hair Journey Step by Step , it was so good and informative BIG THANK YOU , SISTER LADY FOR HELPING ANOTHER SISTER TRYING TO GET IT RIGHT THANKS AGAIN ..... *

I bared with you sis and your visual aid was A+++. Thank you! My hair actually buds from the bottom up.

The visual aid was everything, this helped so much. I thought I was needing a retwist but my roots were still tight and my loctician sent me your vid, thank you so much

This visual was the first time I've ever truly understood the locking processing, and I've been watching videos obsessively for over a month lmfao. So dope! I started my journey 2/25/21

Great job!!👏🏾😊... I understand much better. This is my first time starting my locs without extention. Thank you.

This is the best explanation I’ve heard or read. I’m a linear thinker so visuals, details and processes are my jam. I just had my first shampoo and retwist at 5 weeks... and my first buds! I’m so excited but had no idea how they form. Thank you for this awesome lesson!

I’m 2 months in my loc Journey, thank you so much for the Visuals 😁

The visual was awesome!!!

Thank you for that visual aide, EXTREMELY HELPFUL.

I wish I saw this before I finally decided to loc my hair a couple of weeks ago. Very well described & the visual aids were on point! Be blessed

I'm two weeks in on my loc journey. I've been watching a lot of videos on how to take care of them.

Thanks for this video, I just started my locs on the 1st of November and needed to know more of what the do's and don'ts of locing.

Thank you for the visual explanation! 3 months in and so excited for this journey. Glad I found your channel.

Mannn you explained everything so perfectly! Black hair is so amazing man I love it. Subbed btw 🫶Keep it up sis I’ll be here. Thanks for this video. As I am definitely in my budding stage and im so happy about it!! I’ve finally made some progress that I can really see! I’ve been spraying my hair with water and oil for two months now, but I’ve been growing my locs for five months so far. The moisture definitely helps speed up the locking process. I cant wait to reach my year mark! Im definitely gonna upload a video about it cause it been a long time coming lol. But anyways thanks for this info!

Girl you said you not a loctician well I beg to differ. I think you are a loctician. It’s really all about the knowledge and you definitely have it. This is the best video on utube pertaining to locs and budding. I’m as you in my four five month zone and some have loc ed others still completely unravel and I’m starting them again even at this stage. I do have a lot of budding. My budding started in the middle of my locs and some at the end but my roots just wasn’t budding or loc ing. So for me it’s frustrating but I’m hanging in there because once I saw my hair budding I knew then that eventually it will completely bud and loc throughout and your video explained just that. This video is definitely a well needed tutorial for those of us that are beginners trying to figure out what is going on with our hair. I believe this video will encourage a lot just to be patient and keep on going with the journey because everyone’s hair is different. I have started to wear my hair in more protective style to keep it from unraveling until it locs up. It’s a frustrating process for me but I’m being patient and I’m going to hang in there for a year to see how my hair turns out and yes I do my own hair. Thanks again for the knowledgeable, encouraging video. Please keep them coming. I have officially crowned you as a master loctician 🌹🌹

Looove the visual aid. I understand the process better now.Very helpful and informative!!

This is so informative. I have Caucasian hair and I'm 5 weeks in. I didn't realize that the locs bud in both directions. From my root to about half the length of my hair is twisted and bent and the rest of the length is loose hair.

Very good description! I finally understand what ‘budding’ means now. Thanks!

I'm about to start my locs I'm super excited

Very informative and directed. I understand. Thanks so much!

You’re a great teacher! Thank you for the awesome visual!

This was so helpful!! Thank you! I’m on month 4, too and my hair has changed so much. Not budded everywhere but has a good amount. You just gained a subscriber!🎉😄

Omg!! This video was THE BEST!! Thank u soooooo much!!! I started my locs Apil 16, ‘22. My hair is long, past my shoulders. I didn’t cut it (part of my spiritual journey). My texture is really silky. My goal is the bohemian locs like Lisa Bonet’s bcuz my texture being like hers. I guess bcus of my texure my budding is a little different or i think it’s different. I started my sons and my daughters locs… i guess I didn’t pay attention other than doing their retwist. I know each journey is different. It is starting to bud though. Thank u for the visual, we all are different but this helped me more than any of the other thousands of videos I’ve watched.

Now that was informative. I loved the examples, the drawings and the naturalness of your face. Personally I've always thought of Locs as my personal spiritual journey. It's never just been a hair style for me, it's who I AM. I got that same sense from you. Keep it real.

That visual guide was perfect. I had no idea what budding meant until now. I'm 2 weeks loc'd 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

This teacher helped me a lot and now my hair is budding!!!!

Your very helpful for those of us who are starting locs

I will be one month loc'd on July 29thand my hair is budding like crazy. I washed it twice and I believe that helped it bud even faster. At first I was like no way my hair budding this fast but on my second wash I saw the knots/buds when my locs were wet. I was so excited. This video just confirmed I was right. I feel like at this rate im going to be fully loc'd before the year mark
