Thank you for this video. I went into my journey expecting to have thick locs but knowing my hair was naturally fine. I figured that the accumulation of shed hair might help but that only did so much. My locs are still relatively thinner considering I only have 66 locs. They are about the size of a pencil. I've been watching so many videos on how to get thicker locs and honestly it comes down to genetics. A lot of people with thicker hair and locs do sell stories of how to get thicker locs but their hair is just naturally thick. I did everything they said to do. I stretched my retwist to 3 months, used wild growth oil, jamaican black castor oil and no other products. Massaged my scalp daily and never styled yet my hair remained pretty thin looking. Especially as I am a year loc'd I find that the locs actually got more compact and thinner as they matured. They looked thicker at 6 months than they do now. My point is if you have fine hair you will have fine locs. If you have thick hair you will have thick locs. The parting, products and maintenance only helps so much. Just accept it and love your locs the way they are.

My hair dresser says your hair is your hair . You don’t got that type of hair. Stop watching KZfaq

Thank you for speaking truth sis 😩 fine hair club checking in. It's not in our DNA.

Your shirt could have been a whole video by itself. LMBO!!!

This video needs to be pinned or tagged so that it comes up FIRST for everyone searching for "How to make your locs thicker". So much knowledge and REALITY in everything Sis says. I too am a member of the fine hair crew and have embraced my slim locks although I lust after the juicy ones I see on a daily basis.

Some with thick locs says they also get heavy as they grow,so the grass is not always greener. All locs are just beautiful

It's definitely genetic. My hair appears to be thick, but is actually fine when separated. Was thinking about getting locs. I'm guessing my locs will resemble my hair when twisted...

Time, Friction and Moisture! How simply is that!? I grew locs so that I would no longer be fussing over my hair and could allow my hair to grow how it wants. I have fine hair but amazing locs!! Almost 2 years and loving every second of my journey! Eat right, drink your water, quit retwisting so dang much and live your life!

I’m so glad I watched this, I have fine hair too and I’ve been tempted to combine my locs but I can see that’s not a good idea. I’m just going to embrace what I have. Thanks for sharing sis! 😊

yo I appreciate this video SOOOOOO MUUUUCH. You are so right I have been on here looking for the magic pill for getting my hair to be thick before I start my loc journey. You have preached in this video and just put all my fears and doubts to rest. Thank YOU!!!!!!!!!

Shooooop!! Thanks, Sis! I just started my loc journey - about 6 months in - and this has taken a huge load off my mind! Just take good care of my hair and let it "do what it do"!

Thank you for sharing. Fine afro here over here. My locs all grow in fine and flat. I've embraced it and you know what, the afro fluffiness actually is just what fine hair loves. :)

I decided to try for thick locs even after seeing this video. I started out with the instant loc method. I ended up with only 19 finger-sized locs. I have freeformed since then and my locs ended up thicker than the ends (instant loced part). My hair doesn't look sparse at all which was my initial fear. It looks normal and I am happy with the results. It is possible to go big. ☺️

So true sister! Your hair is your hair. Your hair will do what YOUR hair does! Great video!

Great vid....as someone with thin fine locs I am embracing them in all their glory....thanks...btw new subbie❤️✌🏾

I’m a stylist but have not focused my services on locs just yet and let me tell you this was a beautiful sincere video !!! Lots of love I will be starting my journey this year with my fine hair and I hope to just get what I get and be happy ❤️

Thank you for this. I've been trying to get a realistic picture of what to expect if I were to start my locs. I have fine hair (don't want them too big anyway) and I'm figuring out my own journey.

We share similar hairtype queen I've had 4 sets of locs 1st were plats 2nd was single twist 3rd 2 strand twist n the current set are freeformed. #freeformiskey the only method that gave me thick locs 3rd yr in and I have some locs that are 3-4 inches thick. Its not for everyone but its the look I always desired from the start wish I knew that on my 1st set I would be 20 yrs in by now. 3yrs freeformed n love every step of growth in my mind n hair ✌💪💛👑 hope all my fine hair family gets the locs they're seeking

I need to hear this sis!! Thank you🙏🏽🙏🏽

I don’t know 🤷🏾‍♀️ who needed to see this.... but I did and I’m sure others did as well... thanks 🙏🏾 sis this is so informative.... FACTS! 😊

I really appreciate this video. This just confirmed what my new loctician told me, and y’all just stopped me from making a bad decision. I have an appt for Monday to combine locs to try and get them thicker 😩. Now I’ll be getting a regular retwist and leaving my babies alone. Thank you so much for this

Thank you so much. My hair is super fine, extra soft and curls at the slightest bit of moisture. The first time I tried locs. I did 2 strand twists which literally unraveled the very next day lol. This time I did tiny braidlocs. Well it's been a month and they are still in and I love them so far. I want to try twisting them at the roots instead of interlocking my new growth

Thank you! My hair is fine with thin strands in the front of my head and a little thicker in the back of my head. Now I know what to expect on my journey. I'm 7 1/2 months in!

I agree with this 100% and this is something that is slept on but is sooo important to know! I started my second set of locs and part of the reason was because I have fine hair and felt like smaller locs suited my hair better

This was SOOOO good! Thanks for sharing! I’m new in my journey. I started on 12/1/19 and I absolutely LOOOOOVE my starter finger coils! I have fine 4C hair and I looooove it! 🥰🥰🥰

I just started my journey a month ago, and I NEEDED THIS 🖤🤎 thank you much love

Thank you for this queen ! I was about to give up and comb out my locs but you just helped me so much ! Thank you again!

Wow, this need to be pointed out. Makes so much sense. I have low density, have DIY microlocs, and I guess I won't combine hoping for thick locs. And just work it how it is. Thanks for this!

This video is so REAL! lol I was thinking about getting my 3rd set of locs. Once I saw your video it confirmed my beautiful crown is what it is... beautiful! Thanks Sis for keeping it real.

I appreciate this video so much because my hair is super thin and I want to go locs. I will embrace what I have and go on my natural journey(loc)

Very informative and helpful video! Thanks for your insight. I started my locs last week and kept your advice in mind

Well said😊 This is truth-telling, for sure. Your hair is beautiful- you’re doing a great job!

Yes content 🥰. Not many talking about this topic

You are right 👍🏾💯🥰Fine Locs are just fine we have to learn to love the hair that we have

Thanks, Sis for this video. I've been struggling with thinking my locs were too thin this for a while. Understood :-)...Much appreciated

Thank you for your knowledge and support. I wish more people gave information like this!!❤

I also have fine hair, have loc extensions. you have inspired me to cut mines out. 2 came out from washing and now I have the curly ends❤️watching your journey and tips sis

I agree with your hair is your hair. I wanted to see more matured locs so I knw what to xpect. I can’t wait for my length to come in. Your locs are beautiful, njoy’d ur video

Hi Ajae I'm thankful you did this video start ing my dreadlock journey thinking of doing it all natural and loc my natural hair I have 1a thin hair last time I had synthetic extensions my hair grew lick crazy I was 😲 shocked. Thank u again

Thanks for your honesty. I am so bummed now because I hate my hair and in all its fine, thinness.

Thank you so much Sis...you helped me today!

Thank you!!!! Just started my loc journey today

One honest you tuber. Thank sis

I totally agree. You are the only one who has told the honest Truth 👍🙏😘Love Peace and Light 🙏

Thank you for your HONESTY!! I have fine hair and my locs are very long but heavy for my little strands. My tip: curl them to counter gravity

Makes sense. Good vid. I had locs for 2 years before I cut them off and I realized I won’t have thick locs

You speak the truth! Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this video I needed to hear this about hair density and thickness. I just have 49 locs bc of my hair being very fine and thin.

Thank you Ajae for this video. It helped me to put into perspective, and understand thin and fine hair with locs; verses thick and full hair with locs.

The fact that your locs look just like mines from the color to the thickness!!! I’m watching!!! Imma go on ahead and subscribe!!! I wear my hair like that too 😂 ok so back to the video

Thank you for telling my like it is. I was recasted by how many dreads I was able to produce. I tried many things bc of false advertising, but I’ve come to terms now bc of you.

I have very fine hair with I would say medium density hair as well..my locs looked like tiny strings when I started and they thickened up a lot! Compared to how they started.. I wish I could show you a pic of my beginning phase to now.. and I started with comb coils. Damian Walter actually started me.

Love your t-shirt.

Your locs look just like mine and this video gave me a cute lil confidence boost!

My strands are fine, but very dense. I’m only one week into my journey, so we’ll see how it goes.

I also have very fine hair that's one of the reasons I love watching your video's. Other youtubers with thick locs sell false dreams (and snake oils). I believe the thickness of locs depends 80% on genetics 15% on nutrition and 5% the products you use. Don't get me started on these mixed race women selling black women with 5C hair false dreams talking about: tHiS wASh RoUtiNE wIL gRoW Ur HaIr.. it seems black women don't want to understand how genetics works...ugh anyway thank god for loc extensions. It can really help hide thin locs. The trick is not to overdo the loc to part ratio.

Thank you for keeping it real! I’ve been thinking about loc’ing my hair but my hair being fine kind of makes me not want to do it 😩

Thanks for saving me from immense disappointment. Better I keep a fro

I just subscribed off the strength of this shirt and your so beautiful 😍 yass,.. now let me get into this video 😂

I accept mine the way it is Wednesday on 14th it be 5yrs

BEST VIDEO EVER! So touching, thanks sis. I am 57y/o woman with CHF. I was in the hospital last week (paramedics took me, my hair was a "nap ball"). Once I was admitted, I felt so insecure because....well, just because! I found a little jar of Vaseline in my purse and there was water on the bedside, It took me a couple of hours, but I was able to finger part my thin, fine hair, 2- strand twist my whole head. I fell asleep and my nurse woke me with the usual bs (there's never "rest" in the hospital..LOL), but she was captivated by what I did with my hair...I haven't taken them out since then (can these turn into locs?) Please, any one of the FAM can comment if you know....be safe and take care!

Thank you for keeping it 100❤️

I LOVE YOUR TEE. PLEASE TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT IT. GREAT VID

Great topic!I interlocing makes my locs look really thin! That's one on the reasonds I don't like that method.

I have anemia and i eas taking creatine, that double my loss of hair but now im taking iron medications and stopped taking creatine, my hair is growing normally now. I got instant locs 3 days ago and now im thinking of restarting and dojng microlocs because i wanted those before.

Needed this.. I have fine hair

Quality content.👍

I only have 17 on my head 😭😭

Here watching

I have thin hair and very soft hair. The lady that started my Locs start them with comb coils!!! Big mistake because they are not full. The ends are thick but the hair itself is thin. I started using crochet needles to crochet my hair and I notice some of my hair get thick. I combine some of my hair but still it thick but thin. It is what it is. I realize that is my hair and I’m just going to love it and take care of it.

Im too thru i wanted dreds to get away from all this, hair grading and envy. But...here i am wanting to shave my head.

I was told to start over and get bigger parts.... What is your take on that advice

Thank you!

Freeform locs will appear thic even with fine haired individuals.

I want the big fluffies, but I've embraced my mop strands. 🥰

omg i never seen this before but i started a pescatarian diet for the same reasons and be saying the same shit lol ... i’m late but i’m hope you had/have a happy journey

😭😭😭😭 fine hair girl researching for locs install

Sis u dead on...my hair is fine .. I just had a baby and I went 6 months no retwist and even combined my locs chiiile my locs still didn't get thick...grrrrrrrrrr WTH...all I have is huge loc section like u said...I'm just letting it do what it do at this moment..

I would to see an update on your journey!

Fine haired royalty 🥴🥴😩😂😂😂😂😂

I love how you said "you can't get...." then a commercial came on interrupting 😆

Thank you very informative

Such a cool video

I have fine hair and it irritates me. Some areas are mad thick I'm talking the size of a marker it's 😩. I started adding Jamaican castor oil to help a lil bit. I stretch retwist every 2 months. I have coils but I needed this. Guess I'm just deal with it

Truth be told... you locs fit you so well I love your hair. How many locs do you have?

Correct information

How often do you retwist for beginner locs

Exactly why I didn't start with big twist. I said thin hair with big parts, gone make thin locs with huge parts.

@iamAjae where you get your shirt? The video was very informal!! Thanks

It's strange for me cause naturally my hair is really thick but as locs it's really thin. 🤷🏾‍♀️ idk I wonder if I should've just left them to grow wild and not groom them so early

I watched what the heath too, because of that I’m vegan now....and my locs gained a lot of healthy benefits as well

What is your hair type? Im a 3b/4a blend. Im trying to figure out exactly what fine hair is.

Your locs are nice

This video old but is facts. I have fine hair now. When I locked my hair up I had about 130 dreads and they were full. I combined all them after they were already locked around year 5. Big mistake… they don’t get thicker like I thought they would and most them only locked at the root and not the ends so that’s that. Lastly the loc to part ratio was terrible and made styling hell.I have to say I got into a lot of fights so a few got pulled out. I ended up cutting them a year later. I had them from 2011-2017. When I cut my hair I noticed the areas where my dreads got pulled out at were thin. I truly think this is what caused me to now have finer hair. I now have braids that I’ve been growing for about two years and it’s long like frfr. Not sure how I feel about getting dreads again. Sorry for the long rant y’all. Good video btw everything was facts 💯

How do people be getting new Locs in their loc journey?? Like how do you get “new” Locs?

I miss you making videos big time

Do you think you thinned out your hair more and compromised the ability of you locs to expand as much as they would have because you used loc extensions?

The banana premier shakes taste way better!! I've had just about every flavor. Chocolate is aight

I want that shit

The middle part of my hair always seem to be breaking for some reason 😭
