Thanks for clicking on my video!
In today’s video I will be talking about why I should’ve stuck with two strand twist locs instead of seeking instant gratification with instant locs.

I love how honest and real you are about starting and maintaining locks. We build emotional and physical (hair) strength on this journey. Thnx 4 sharing.

Thank you I really appreciate this☺️

Definitely 💯 agree with you on the start of the loc journey it can get rough af and when you go from a more traditional hairstyle to locs it can knock your confidence a bit but it’s a journey for a reason 😅 but I’m glad I stuck it out. I’m a year and 2 months in but it looks fire 🔥 compared to the beginning

I have very straight hair and pet a. Few locticians it would take a very long time to loc … if it locked…. In their words. So I may do instant Locs. Patience is something I pride myself in, but waiting for something that may never happen because of my soft, smooth straight texture is not something I am willing to do.

Instant locs will only unravel if they’re not done well. I did it myself and I’m not good so I’ve had unravelling but I know it’s my fault. But you’re right, no matter what the method it’ll take a few months to start budding. There is no short cut 😂

Hi i started my instant locs 2/3 months ago, the problem is when i wash them they become lose/ lose shape and have to crotchet them again. Is this normal? And if so when will it stop? Also have long will it take till they loc on their own without the crotchet needle? Thanks ❤

@davidramos1780 Жыл бұрын

After u first get em there is a bit of time u wanna wait before u wash them again cuz the water will loosen up the crochet especially depending on how tight your loc person put them in

@Theempressoflove Its going good. Getting instant locs was definitely the best option for me. Less unraveling.

I started with two stand twists and my hair locked in two months

I started my hair myself with 2 strand 4 months ago. But i still have on some spots unraveling of the loc. Im so sad about it. But 99% of my hair is locd. But stil in the middle of my head, and in the back, I still need to two strand the hair again. Its so irritating. But im hanging on. 😂

Yesssss I feel your pain when I started my loc journey my locs was really unraveled I expected them to loc out within the first month but the truth is my hair is not fully locked don’t get me wrong I have came a long way from where I started but the results that I once thought was going to happen in beginning ended up coming much later

Congratulations on your first month, how are you feeling about it so far? When I first started growing my hair out my mom wanted me to cut it so you’re definitely not alone. I’m glad you’re standing your ground. It’s important for your mom to know everyone’s loc journey is different and no one’s locs look the same. You’ll always have our support! -Dom

You can palm roll or interlock

my hair type prevents it from locking properly so they said the only loc I could get was instant should I still do it?

@allisawooten1488 7 ай бұрын

It doesn’t matter what type of hair you have. All hair can lock. It probably will just take your hair a little longer to lock. The process will be worth it in the end. I didn’t get instant locs though. Loc your own hair. You will appreciate the process more. I’m three years in. It going to be okay. And, don’t let anyone discourage you.

How often should I wash my hair with starter twists

@Heyu7her3 Жыл бұрын

You should really just wash the scalp. Many resources detailing how, but one way is to rub an astringent on the scalp. Another strategy is to wash with a stocking cap covering your hair.
