Wow! I love how you followed your gut and switched so that you could have the full experience. And totally with you that vibes matter--can't trust any ol' body with your hair haha! Loved this video and excited to see how your locs grow!

Much respect! Excited to follow you on your journey! I had locs before and started from scratch with coils. After 10 years I cut them off.. Now I regret getting rid of them and I'm starting over but this time with instant locs. I hope I like them lol.

So glad I came across this video. I am considering a loc journey again and this i helping me with my decision on a spiritual and practical level. Thank you!

Your video resonated with me SO MUCH like I really felt every word!! I tried the instant locs too, and combed out after watching this video. I did my first retwist yesterday and I swear I don’t regret spending HOURS combing out the instant locs and spending extra time learning more about locs. I can’t stop smiling at my comb coils and I’m in LOVE! Thank you so much for your this video!!

They look really good! I'm glad that you chose what felt right to you I definitely agree with what you said about the experience that you're looking for with locs. I've only had mine for three months and I don't always feel good about them looks-wise but it's been really fascinating just watching my hair transform and do its thing. I wouldn't want to have missed out on any part of the locking process :)

💜💫The journey is definitely Beautiful! I’m glad you listened to your spirit! I’m only 3 months in with comb coils and I love them! #TeamCombcoils I believe I have 126 locs💫 I cnt wait to binge watch your beautiful growth!

It is so refreshing to come across your page. Thank you

Your energy is on point💪🏾

So gorgeous! Love your locs ❤️

I think it looks great! Can't wait to see your progress both with the locs and with your new channel! Proud to be subscriber #3!

Great video Mama💕 Thx for sharing. I’m thinking about locs for the future…we’ll see✨

Thank you for your honesty with your video. I really appreciate it. And your video was really helpful to me.

Wait, I don't really understand the problem, maybe i missed something? It sounds like the loctician just wasn't good and didn't give her enough parts, or no one specified the locs size that was desired. What specifically made instant locs the problem? I notice alot of people confuse thick locs with _full_ locs. In those reference pictures you can tell the girls' loc size is smaller, so with more locs you get a full head. They probably had small size, and the loctician just gave you medium. But idk, maybe I missed the point of the vid.😬 I'm happy you've ended up with something you love in the end, regardless!

Your comb coils came out so much better than the instant locs. Loved the video

Honestly when you said it will resonate with who it will resonate with I felt that. I’m starting my loc journey soon and have been struggling deciding between instant and coils. My loctitian (who iv known for years as a close family friend) says coils to get the full experience but my sisters say instant to skip the “ugly phase” but like you im going with my gut and getting coils. Can’t wait to watch your journey -new sub

I honestly use to watch loc installations and I look at their hair type, density/thickness and their loc count but I do get it's their head of hair so it's whatever they want... That's why when I did my hair my mom said "a few aren't the same size" and I said " yes because in some parts my hair is thicker or my 4C areas aren't the same as the 4B parts". Idk if she understood but made complete sense to me and that's where it counts.

Your locs are sooo Beautiful, you are correct, it is definitely a very personal decision and choice. I have had several loc journeys, this latest one I had started with two strand twist, I had 16 locs, yeah, that part 👈🏽. I thought that with low density strands they would magically give me a thick loc, WRONG! I realized that that was not going to alter the density of my hair or locs. So, I took them out and am getting instant locs. I have come to understand that the most I can hope for is a lot more locs and achieve a full look and not necessarily a thick loc aesthetic as my hair will not give me that. I trust my Loctician who has also become a good friend of mine from maintaining my previous journey. We shall see.

New subbie! I love your personality.

When I was trying to find someone to do my twist (had to be someone I trusted because I don't like anyone in my hair) i was asked if I wanted instant locs and I was so excited I wouldnt have to worry about unraveling... Fast forward a few days later and I got up and decided I'm going to two strand twist my hair the size I find feels nice on my hair density and type... I felt like I needed to start from day one and since I didn't want to go to someone to begin with I'm very happy. It's just the first month I worry about because I tend to love to be in my loose hair (until it annoys me that I have to plat it or do something with it). I want to go on this journey and I know this is MY journey so just like you in going by my gut.

Thank you for your insight, you have help me with making my decisions.

Omg!! Great video! I actually started my locs with comb coils.. but had to end up restarting them with another loctician cause the vibe from the first girl was sooo off then like you I have a fairly big head (lol) with a lot of thick hair on it. And sis gave me about 45-50 coils and it just did not sit right with me.. Soooo yeah your video truly spoke to me 🙌🏾

Thanks for sharing your experience. So helpful ❤

Tbh I think the “something ain’t right” energy started from that women being ignorant when u asked her questions about instant locs, btw your soooo sooo cute 😍😍

I agree about the loc count. You really have to be realistic when comparing, making sure the person has the same or similar hair type and density as you. Everyone's locs come out differently, especially after maturing.

Thank you for your honesty.

Your so pretty. And you smileeeee omgggg. But no I was thinking about getting instant locs just so I can go head and get that loc look. But like a few years ago like when my hair was short I have (4c) and really thick thick thick. But wen I had got my coils I didn’t like them bc of short hair and I was insecure about it so I took them out like the next day. But that was like about 3 years when my hair was short like only went to my jaw line but now it down to my back almost my mid back and the front is at little below my chin now and I really want locs so I fell like I’m more confident now especially since my hair is longer now and way more healthy than it use to me. Also when I get locs I would have to worry about that detangling and everything so that would be a big relief for my hair

Agree with everything you said Im also restarting to get coils

I currently have box braids and I like the placement of them and how they look, should I just make my dreadlock count the same as my braid count or will it end up looking different

Great Video !!

This really resonated with me. I got insta locs and still question the process bc I wasn’t fully satisfied with size and count. But I thought they couldn’t be combed out? What did you use/do the comb it out?

Love the video, so happy for you! But definitely sounds like your loctician messed up the whole process of instant locs, I’ve had them before and she used the crochet needle the whole way, no back combing, and definitely no interlocking at the root, idk why yours used 3 different locking methods that’s crazy!! I’m glad you found the method you like!

This was my same feeling with instantlocs extensions. I took them out after a day. $1000 out but I couldn't continue with them.

I believe that instant locs don’t look the same in the mature stage as traditional locs- I can always tell when someone has started with instant locs, it’s only a slight difference ultimately but it’s definitely noticeable and was a put off for me as I wanted my locs to look fully traditional

I had an appointment to get instant locs. It never felt right tho. I tried to make it feel right cause I paid the deposit, but it didn't. I mean it was on my mind non-stop in an uncomfortable way, the day before my appointment. It just never sat right with me. I even dreamt about it that night/morning of my appointment, that it didn't go well. I canceled my appointment, lost my deposit and had to pay a cancelation fee. So ion know what that was about, but I definitely find it interesting we had a similar experience, yours being after you got em, and mines being before. I haven't done anything as of yet, I've just been researching a lot, like you. And I now also wanna go through the process, which wasn't important to me before, and I feel like instants is cheating. Like getting liposuction instead of losing weight the good old fashioned way. So I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do comb coils but I'm in no rush.

Which products did you use to start your locs?

I'm currently doing the opposite. I have fine, thin locs thats been comb coiled and its been over five months and only been loced at the ends 🙃 I had locs before for over five years and Im not feeling this method for my current hair type. So Im going to remove the small buds at the ends, I already did a couple lol. I did my research on instant locs even purchased crochet needles off Amazon so I can do my own hair at home when the time comes. I feel more happier and confident with IL 🥰✌🏾

You are so funny! I love your mannerisms 😭new subscriber lmfaooooo

Can I ask you how you felt about the stiffness of your instant locs? I just got some two-strand twist starter locs, but the loctician is telling me my hair will never loc unless I get instant locs because it's too soft. My hair type is 4 something so I want to go somewhere else to get a second opinion on that. I had instant locs before and it was way too stuff so I took it out within a week. They were sticking out and wouldn't fall down. I am wondering if your instant locs were much stiffer than your coils or if maybe the first loctician that did mine did it wrong

I started with braids I am now seven months in the braids turned into basically twist

Thanks for your tips! I have week old instalocs small/ medium (about 100 locs) & i have a smaller head. I have been loving them. But unfortunately after only 2 weeks I'm realizing that the older and longer they get and with puffing from water they will get bigger. So I'm going to comb/cut them out 😨 I have really fine hair and VERY sparse edges so i want something very full looking not much scalp and so i think I'm going to restart with micro locs🙏🏽

I have comb could but I want instant love because I think they will be longer will they?

How many loc's do you have now? I have 190+ and I started them myself. I use the interlocking method.

I think it's the person who did your lock. The vibe between you and the loctician didn't start in a good start that's why you feel that way. The lady who did my comb coil is awesome. Answr my questions. I remove the locks because after six months the back of my hair will not stay they unfold. I am going for instant lock.

Quick question... I've had 3 sets of locs all started with coils.. So.. With instant locs.... Can you continue to palm roll to retwist....

i started of with small triangle part twist after 3 months i went and got them instant locked

I got locks recently I wanted comb locs but they insisted instant locs are better nd my hair was too long but I honestly dnt like how messy they look I prefer the comb locs by far and am just not at ease am thinking of combing them out

Thanks for the video I’m getting instant locs & august I prefer them then the comb coils my hair too curly it will keep unraveling😌

💕😌

!!!! I had the same red flags. Currently combing out my instant locs.

🔒🔒🔒

She probably put a less amount in because of your hair. I have 56 locs or so. Having bunch of locs is cool but eventually you going to have to combine them. Especially when they get to your waist.

I got 144 interlocks strangs very full rhick lock i lock my interlock i paid $1000

So individual i swear lol

This is all nonsense and just her really not liking instant locs. Instant locs are amazing and don't let this deter you from getting them.

You beautiful 😍 still looking for marriage? Lmao what’s your IG
