Girl I’m so glad you did this! My loc journey is not spiritual. I just did it cause I was tired of my natural hair. 🤣

The first one resonated with me. I just locd my hair because I was tired of doing it and I think it's cute. It's not spiritual for me. I'm not that deep 😂. I don't think Jesus cares if my hair is locd, straight, or curly as long as I live for Him.

At the end of the day it’s a hairstyle. I don’t understand why ppl be so mad when someone else choose to start their loc journey differently. Like just appreciate that everyone’s Locs are beautiful like come on now 😂

Absolutely nothing wrong with loc extensions, at all. My issue is when people just straight up lie and say that it's all their hair (Eva from ANTM, lol). No one deserves to be bashed for it though, but just be honest or don't say anything at all. I agree with you 100% though. People bleach their locs and use "products" such as conditioners and their loc are still flourishing. Loc care isn't one size fits all.

I hate how people are shamed for the method they use to maintain their hair. Ex. Interlocking vs palm rolling vs crochet hook.

I totally agree!! Me personally I DID loc my hair for spiritual reasons, but I don't expect everybody else to lol. Also, if you consider yourself "Spiritual" you wouldn't be so judgemental of others 🤷🏾‍♀️

That’s facts, the spiritual side stuff be confusin me I’m not sure if they talking about religion or what they’re referring too. Locs just fire frfr

Been waiting for a video like this. I feel a lot of people are so judgmental about other’s choices. If you don’t like something keep pushing

Baybeeee this is spot on 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I was like what did I sign up for this is like the new world order like geez 🙄

Girrrrrll!! Tell me about it. You hit all the key notes!!! Started my journey with loc extensions, and honestly, after I had gotten it in the beginning, I used to see so many videos hating on loc extensions. Lol, but chyyyy, idgaf. Everyone deserves to do what’s best for them. Also, you’re hilarious!! 🤣🤣💯

So judgmental sometimes 😂 We must do better ! The things I don't like: - Who says that showing roots, growth (so no retwist or interlocking for a moment) was a bad thing or wasn't cute ? 🥺 Hair is growing, I want to celebrate that. I’m not going to apologize because my hair is showing And I love frizzy locks - Dreadlocks VS Locs. Some feel offended by the first term. I respect that, but when it comes to MY hair, I use that term without any problem. I choose the positive story of that word. People need to respect that too. - Some people find it hard to accept that our hair care can be different from one head to another 🤔 For example, if you say that you do not use a product and prefer to do otherwise on YOUR head: criticism, unsolicited advice, refusal to accept another reality, or the argument "but our ancestors did like that"... Bish... I am from Ivory Coast (West Africa). Yes, they had super hair care and natural products, which are not *always* compatible with our modern lives 🤷🏿‍♀️ There are sooo many internal and external factors that differ: we do not eat as healthily as they do, we handle our hair too much (our so-called hair protective styles are nothing compared to their), our environment is full of pollution, water quality...

You said EVERYTHING I have thought since diving into the loc community. Well said.

I would agree. I have had locs for 15 years cut them and started them again. I think however the judgment comes because there is a level of shunning that goes on around locs thats internal, from your family and external from the work force that you have to endure. And maybe sometimes people hold onto that too much. 🤔 people become resentful after going through the pain of being called, ugly, nappy, dirty or unprofessional.

Whew you nailed it with this one!!

i’ve been following you on instagram for a while but this my first time tuning in on YT. you are hilarious and so pretty 😍 happy i subscribed! 💜 ps: i’ve noticed all this bs too and i’m only 4 months loc’d, ppl are so annoying

THISSSSSSSS!!!!! I literally started my locs cause I was tired of doing my hair.

Lots of truth here sis. Also, hilarious 😂🙌🏽

Lol just subscribed! U spoke to my soul 😂

I like you because what you are saying is true. I got my done because of my back. I have a bad back and I rather have these then trying to do my hair every week lol

All of this. And emphasis on being so headstrong on individualized journeys then bashing anyone that didn’t “start from the bottom”. Just let people live lol

I ran across u on TikTok I had my dreads for 8 months and I'm learning still💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I agree leave folks alone 😂💯

You ain’t said not ONE LIE .

And thanks boo!❤️

Sooo true! The loc community can be quite judgmental. But, its still the dopest community! 🥰🥰

Sis THIS!

Great video

I love my locs; my journey is definitely not “quote on quote” spiritual. I made it plain on my channel that I serve “Jesus”, point, blank, period …

Ima be honest I started my locs because I like the way they look 😭😭😭

Two videos in 1 day ugh… how perfect 🥰🥰

I wanna start locs soon. I’ve just been debating or regular or micro

I agree with all of this friend! ❤️soon you won’t even be noticing the negative comments.

😂😂😂 Facts

This guy at work keeps telling me I need a retwist and he used to have locs . Only reason why he is saying that cause there’s a girl there that never not has her locs done and she always has it up in a style . I want to say so bad her hair gone fall out in a couple years watch but coming up to me telling me I need a retwist only is going to make me go longer without one 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Same

‼️‼️‼️

you didn’t lie sis .

I hate loc extensions when I’m looking up loc journeys . I want to follow one with real locs lol . I was following this lady for two months then she uploaded a video stating she was cutting the’ out I was like bich 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 they looked so real .

Yeah it’s ok to think locs are beautiful, because they truly are the most beautiful natural art that could exist on humans body, but yes it is a definitely a spiritual thing which goes way deeper than just being “a hairstyle” and I think people who do decide to wear locs whether it is fake locs or real - should be aware of that and just informed since it IS BLACK CULTURE y’all so don’t be offended instead just say if you haven’t thought about it in that way .. as yet or haven’t approached it in that way.. maybe one can give you more insight about it, either way try to respect the natural hair journey, because it is not just a trend - just being honest y’all !! Much light ya’ll !!

A true spiritual person wouldnt even expose there hair to the public. They would cover there hair all the time to prevent evil spirits from latching onto it.
