Hey my babies! I hope you love this video! Remember, mindfulness is key! ❤️ let’s chat in the comments! 🦄

I feel like if people want curls at the end, there is nothing wrong with that. It's just a style option. I find both looks gorgeous: curly ends and fully locked ends. When it comes to edges, it's a style preference. Some like their edges laid, others don't mind. It's fun not to all be alike. As long as it's not causing damage to your edges, do whatever fits your boat.

“Everything don’t have to be so Got 2 be Glued onto the forehead” 😂 That tickled me but is also so true!! Great video ❤️

I find that shampoos that require you to wash multiple times, it’s because oily builder-up in your hair will not latter until the third wash.

That explains a lot. With my first set of locs they were sharpie marker thick and everyone I knew hated them. But with my second set I have now everyone has loved them especially when I started them. My ends were really curly and it was the first time people complimented my natural hair consistently. I'm two years in and the curls are mostly gone. I agree with you and it saddened me that the fullness of who were are still isn't respected by our own communities.

The passion twist are definitely an animation of what locs represent. Also, I actually envy coarser hair texture because of its majestic look. Bob Marley had fine hair but did not retwist so his locs thrive better. He was on to something because fine hair is more susceptible of thinning and hair loss

Your hair is getting so long! Beautiful as ever.

I appreciate what you said about the curly ends! It was your videos that inspired me to start my loc journey and to do it all myself a year ago. I loved the curly end look and hoped mine would stay however they started to get blunt naturally. Initially I was disappointed but that triggered me to check myself & ask why I was even pursuing that look. If loosing the curls was a deal-breaker for keeping my locs then it would’ve definitely been due to some texturism/colorism issues I couldn’t get over. I remember in one of your videos I watched, you said that you were fine with however your locs turned out. I took on that same attitude from the jump so I got over the curly end thing quickly. I hope all black people think about these hair preferences introspectively. Thanks for speaking on it and uplifting all loc textures!

I love her. Her voice. Her locs. Her energy. He vibe and all! 🤎🤎🤎

Thank you for saying that about curly ends. People are so stuck in eurocentric beliefs that they can’t even understand how that stems from colorism and texturism. They subconsciously and some consciously internalize a beliefs of a system that can’t even stand them.

I loc’d and mine are curly in the ends and someone asked if I did it on purpose. I did not. I started with twists and it just stayed like that. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I think all locs in all forms are beautiful af. Gotta embrace one’s own journey. ❤️

This dialogue was needed about the favoring a certain look vs another when it comes to loc’s thank you

Lets not pretend that the curly ends trend she is speaking of isn't grounded in FACTS! I love how she addressed this! As a community we are so used to seeing European beauty standards being shoved down our throats that we don't even notice when we are doing it. She is saying hey, check yourself. Ask yourself why do you want this look? Don't say "because it's cute". No...pause... ask yourself why do you rather locs with curly ends over blunt ends? Why do you want a curly Afro over a Kinky Afro? Why are you showing her pic (a pretty light skin girl with blonde locs that has curly ends) saying "I want this look" then get mad when your hair don't come out looking like hers. She's telling the truth. Lets not front! Showing her pic just may... be rooted in featurism, colorism and texturism. Hmmm, are we still accepting other features over our very own? We have come a long way in the black community with loving our natural hair. She is just saying LOVE the way YOUR HAIR grows out of your own head.

I hear you on the curly locs favoritism etc. and I love the curly look. It really has nothing to do with texturism etc Black girls have curly hair. It’s just different sized curls. Who else has our curls? Nobody. So if we have curls in it is just a matter of style. It’s a bit boho and I love that look. I hope nobody feels bad for liking the curls. I hope mines stay fluffy with my curls. Starting my journey today!!! Thank you for your inspiration!!

I started my loc journey in February.... because of my hair texture EVERYONE constantly tells me that my hair will not lock. Truth be told my hair is locked. The budding started in the roots, working its way to the ends. My tips are very curly, because of the natural texture growing from my scalp. Ladies embrace your journey and love your process. Don't compare your journey ❤❤❤❤❤

Great video. I appreciated your thoughts on praising all hair textures, especially the more kinkier ones. It makes a difference, because a lot of times, we're left out of the beauty standards in the natural hair community. I am also taking notes for my second loc journey, which I'm on now.

I really enjoyed this "old school KZfaq" video. I wish more loc'd youtubers would make these.

Glad you spoke on the curly ends trend. It was def rubbing me the wrong way because I figure most were doing it because it looks more “desirable”. Let’s not even get to talking about this new loc extension trend that everyone is doing to instantly get locs with curly ends…love how the products made your hair look. Thanks for that in depth review!

curls at the ends are cute. so can locs without curls at the end. end of the day, it's a hairstyle. people like what they like.

I love your locs sis, I'm on my 2nd experience with locs my first locs i had for 12 yrs i started my locs in junior year of high school & now 8 1/2 years later I now started again this past April this phase I see I am more with the flow with the growing phase because my first experience I wanted my locs to grow fast now I'm like I'm just embracing the vibe. Now my daughter and I are sharing the loc experience together

I am glad as a light skin young women you said something about colorism and texturism.

My ends are curly and I can't wait for them to loc. I was so surprised when I read people are trying to get them on purpose.

You should try Better Than Shampoo loc and scalp detoxes. I love them! It is a small Black owned business.

Where were you last night when I was retwisting? ❤️My fave thing is to listen to your retwists when doing my own. Castile soap to wash, rose water, and Reagan Sanai (black owned) hair oil and aloe spray was used for my retwist. I had to discontinue using the lock up because I wasn’t rinsing my hair frequently so it was leaving build up for me. I agree with the curly ends thing is not necessary and locs look beautiful without them, but it’s nice as option if you like it as a style without the view that it’s better than not curly. Mine are curly but I don’t love it, but they are young. My moms locs are so beautiful and she has blunt ends and it’s fire. She is 69 and men were stopping her on the street saying how beautiful her locs were. We are beautiful in our natural form.

I do not have curly ends anymore. After my hair fully locked... it's just locked 🔒. I love my locs and can't wait to see them in another year. They're 22 months now. 🤗

🦄 y’all see the lather? Y’all see rich lather? 😂😂. I appreciate you speaking on curly ends. 🙌🏾

You are my inspiration. I started my loc journey a month ago and I am loving it ☺️

Your hair is always beautiful and your retwist looks like day one not one week 🦄

straight facts. preferring locs with curly ends just for the texture is just as problematic as trying to make edges lay straight and flat and wearing wigs from the scalps of Brazilian and Indian women. like come on y'all. it's not that hard. let's love ourselves a little bit more.

I get the point you're making & honestly I thought you would feel this way. Like everything else I don't think there's anything wrong with having a preference but be mindful & respectful of all the beautiful locs that exist! As for this review, I think I'm gonna try the oil and the spray. I don't use anything heavy for my retwist because I'm terrified of the build up and I kinda prefer a less "sleek" look, just aloe gel and oil. This seems like a nice alternative. As always... great content🖤✨️

I absolutely love my locs curly ends to turning blunt some are locking blunt some thin idc I love them and embrace them this is my second set ❤️🙏🏽

I'm glad you said it. You have a very beautiful spirit and aura of genuine and self love unlike most people I've followed of the loc community on KZfaq thank you....its so refreshing

your mad beautiful yo.....just seeing your thumbnail in my feed made my day.....dayum!

Deflee appreciate the water saving reminder! Deflee. Also that gem on texturism...Yes sis

Its giving does not look old at all great information and very helpful thank you 🙂

I am in my second year of being locked and I have a super curly and loose hair texture and my ends are still not locked and for some reason I am not here for it. Lol I do love my Locs I do love my lock journey but I just want my end to be blunt, but everybody thinks it is so cute that they are still curly in some parts, and some parts are more blunt than others but I totally get what you’re saying we need to love our locks whatever stage they’re in and for what they are I’d totally appreciate the fact that you cleared that up for everybody because I’ll show your videos and I show your hair to a lot of people and I love the fact that even when your hair was bunching, you left it the way it was.

Thank you for bringing this to focus

Love the video! Your locs and skin look phenomenal!! 💗💗🦄🦄

So I started my loc journey 4 months ago using 2-strand twists and my hair has just naturally ended up with curly ends. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I prefer the blunt-end look and wish mine were like that. I think it’s a slippery slope to start assuming people with curly end locs are just following some trend or taking part in something that degrades our culture (or says that we prefer something less black or something). I actually had no idea people felt negatively about curly end locs until this video and now I’m feeling kind of uneasy… thinking that I may be judged negatively by others in the loc community from the comments I’m reading here. Maybe some things don’t need to be that deep? I have curls, I like curls, curls are swirly and springy and whimsical.. yes, I like the texture. Is it a bad thing to like the texture of a bunch of shaggy curls on your head? I’m kind of missing where the offense is… or how white supremacy/colorism/racism plays a (significant) role in this (like it does with the relaxers and hot combs many of us grew up with)? Or with the reason why I like, or possibly even prefer the way they look? I’m just worried making curl vs blunt so deep is more alienating than anything. I didn’t feel an ounce of insecurity about my amazing, natural, joyful locs until right now.

Hi IndieRay, I am coming back to video this video, first time I was thinking about starting my locs, now today 1 year and a month into my loc journey. I love your locs. But I just wanted to say. My hair was curly before and some of my ends are still curly. I am letting them do them. It is cute to me and just give them their own free flowing look.

Your locs suit you so beautifully!!

🦄 Loved the descriptions for this locking spray! Gonna have to try that. Thank you!

Enjoyed the review even without Locs in my hair.🦄

🦄 learned a lot today! Thinking of trying these products cause I love how your re-twist turned out

You’re hair looks so good! Your twist looks really fresh!

I have been contemplating about what style if I should do it my self pretty much everything but your videos give much need motivation 💕

You look beautiful as always. Thank you for your opinion and new information. I am a person that loves the natural process of everyone’s locs. It’s such a beautiful representation of life and originality. I agree that people should think deeply on what they want to accomplish on their loc journey. Self expression is beautiful. It also important to not lose sight that god made us beautifully and intentionally. 🦄🦄🦄

I clicked on this Video and I legit shouted! You are beautiful! That loc! I am getting my hair loc'ed no more doubt

I am cracking up that you keep saying rich lather!! Haha!! I'm so petty!! Love you girl!!

1 WK?!?! it looks like a fresh retwist 😮‍💨😍

I definitely think it’s situational. But like you said, if someone’s doing it with a texture or colorist motive I can see that but I could also understand doing it because you like it. I personally like it both ways but I kept my ends curly. But I got called a texturist anyway lol

I tried dr.locs years ago when I first started my locs. I did not like their leave-in conditioner. It gave my hair that stiff feeling. I am planning to give it another sticking only with the oil, retwist spray and build-up remover.

This is the first product review I've seen for this brand 🦄

My Loc date is coming up soon & I was Curious about their products. Nice review, Your hair looks beautiful! 😊🦄

Hey beautiful ♥️🫶🏽 loving your locs !!! I actually loc’d on the 1st 💕

I love love love your locs and the color is amazing! Thank you for this review. I truly enjoyed it! I just made one year with my loc journey on 7/31😊

🦄 you give me so much inspiration to start my loc Journey

I’m a loc bro and just got put on this and I appreciate it as I have really kinky hair

I’m reading the comments. I can’t believe ppl are judging others who want the curly ends! So now we are gonna hate on curly ended black girl hair??? It’s curly Because we are black! What’s the matter? Curlier or bigger curl girls have less black “clout “ than kinkier girls???? I have three whole textures on my head. Let ppl like what they like! As long as nobody hating on others. What your hair can do mine may not and Vice versa. A preference is a preference. DO NOT shame anyone who chooses how they prefer their natural style to be my goodness! As much as you think you’re doing the opposite of, you’re actually segregating by ppl’s choice. I love ALL hair types, there is no better, no worse, all beautiful, and all versatile. End!!

I love it preach, your speaking truth!

Restarted my loc journey 2 months ago. I’ll definitely try this product out

🦄✨✨Hey girl! Loved your video and energy✨ . I absolutely love Dr. Locs, their products are light and made with natural real products plus it's great for any type of locs! One thing I have to say is that you won't get lather on your first wash after using the pre cleanse because you have oils on your hair. It's not necessary to use tons of shampoo, I would actually dilute it a bit and make sure it penetrates. After that first wash (no need to dilute for the second wash) HELLLLLOOOO lather! This shampoo strips all the build up and it's the main purpose. I also have the color treated line.... OMG! The moisture I get from the conditioner and the smell 🌹🌹🌹🌹!!! GIRLLLL, TRY IT! I also have color treated locs and next time I want to have a deep cleanse I would do the pre cleanse, yasin 2x, color shampoo 1x and color conditionner following the application instructions. * Mic drop*🎤

Makeup and hair slaaaaaay 💜🦄

i love this brand! I’ve had locs for a year and it works for me.

I ran to this video so fast hoping it was a retwist /chit chat video 😭 lol still I loved it and your take on the curly ends trend 🦄

🦄 Love you videos babes... I will def try the product. 💞💞

I really want to color my loc’s but I’m so nervous on ruining my loc’s did you feel the same way before bleaching

Gorgeous retwist my friend!

Well said sis.. you have ya opinion and it needed to be said and reminded of. Good for you for!!!! 😉

🦄 Love the video and the product review!

I really enjoy their product line

I'm 50/50 on getting locs fr!! I have 4c hair been natural for 3 yrs and been on your page and pinterest a lot lately for inspo!

wash that hair girl. let us know. love this vid

It looks beautiful

Love your honestly.... always!

I like that point of view. I don't have locs but I've been considering them and I only wanted the curly ends. For me I just felt like curly ends give more feminine vibes.

I bought the yaya oil and the leave in. My hair didn't like the leave in. It made it hard while applying and then after it tried it wasn't as moisturized. It might work for others but not for me. Thanks for sharing as always!

I want to bleach my hair so bad but I’m scared it will damato my hair .. yours look so good

This was a really good review!

🦄🦄🦄. Hair looks fresh!! Thanks for the info.

You're absolutely right. People are stuck on what's acceptable and not what our ancestors taught us to be proud of and how we feel about ourselves

A review on Freetheroots products would be bomb!

If anyone is looking for a moisturizing shampoo I recommend the Pantene gold series moisture boost shampoo. It’s clear and washes out easily!

The shampoo does not lather the way I thought it would, barely lathers. and I have to use too much of it for it to be at the point that my hair feels washed. I have long sisterlocks, and I was disappointed. my favorite was the leave in conditioner and oil.

Conditioners is for unravel your locs

I liked the pre cleanse but the shampoo and leave in made my hair feel so dry. The yaya hair oil was good and the leave in spray was ok

MY TYPE 😍😍😍

Texturism and colourism is alive and kicking, unfortunately. That's why I'm slightly confused about some loc sistas demonstrating the somewhat unnecessary trend of laying down edges to display flat, straight hair against the visible contrast of natural curly hair. Each to their own, but it seems to contradict the dynamics of natural beauty. We all have different hair textures, but as a loc sista myself, I'm more inclined to appreciate a fellow sista's decision to embrace her hair's natural texture from root to tip. I too have fine hair and my hair took a minute to loc back in the day. It never occurred to me to lay down the fine hairs at my edges, even 18 years later. As I say, this is a personal choice. I choose to display my locs in their natural state, with no gels to lay down the edges. I have worked in corporate environments, ie a lawyers' office, and if anyone there had the nerve or cheek to suggest they were offended by my natural edges, I would tell them that this is how my hair grows out of my head, so deal with it!

Before I went natural, loose natural, I was told since I was dark skin that I would have this nappy hair. But I decided to take that journey anyway and surprisingly my hair was very curly. The thing that I’m not proud of is that made me extremely happy? We have been told that. Our natural features are ugly so we have a hard time understanding that what we have nappy kinky curly straight is beautiful. So I’m very glad you’re talking about this. It’s something that Hass to be said over and over again for us to really understand and believe it.

I have decided yes watching you but I did not want to go to someone to do my Locs. I wanted to start my own journey 🦄🦄🦄🦄

What’s your take on microfiber towels? You like t shirts better?

11:44 WOW your heavenly beauty astounds me 😱😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯🤯

I had curly ends when I first started because I had a relaxer in. I hated them I just cut them off.

🦄 I'm going to look into these!

Looks great to me!…I went to a salon for my 1st re-twist..and now I think my some of my twists are twisted in the opposite/wrong direction smh 😩 I guess I’ll try to fix it myself this time around

The curly end thing is sad because men do not do this to themselves/each other. In fact, the type 4 loss tend to be more celebrate. But us women do want to let go of that toxic ideology

I wonder if it didn't lather well because your hair wasn't wet enough. Because you were talking. Just a thought

I’m planning on getting sisterlocks because I want it to be permanent and I don’t want to keep putting my hair up in a bun or a pony like it’s hard at times and I still have to cut my split ends before I do so which but I’ve been looking for a real good loctician in Miami based off pictures I see online which I know how to interlock my own hair cause I did it many times but at the same time the sizing just ended not being for me so I decided I want to go really small this time

How often do you rinse your hair? Is it recommended to constantly wet your hair? My boyfriend wants to rinse his hair almost everyday after work because of all the sweating he does.

Your Video was very informative~
