I will add...DO NOT wet your hair and put it in a ponytail. That's how mold develops within the locs...the place where the band is will take longer to dry. If you want to stretch out your locs then I would wait until it's all dry and either....A. wrap it around my head as I would when I was relaxed and we wrapped our hair at night. Or B. Doing some type of braid out on the locs with oil. Honestly, you want your locs to shrink. That helps with the loc process. When your hair matures you won't have a problem with excessive shrinkage. I would advise not to be obsessed over length and worry more about the health of the hair and being patient with the process. Let it shrink and compact so it can loc and form.

I’m 3 months in and I’m loving my journey!

I’m about 10 months in and I started with 2 strand twist. I really never knew my hair was this thick. This journey is wild and my emotions are up and down. I’m tryna trust the process

Im watching them ads girl 💕

I'm two months in and the frizz is crazy but I'm still excited 😄

4 months locd and I LOOOVE IT, just recently did a retwist and it can out so nice. I love this journey and I love my self more than ever, I’ve also decided not to do make up.

YOUR LOCS ARE EVERYTHING!!!! Keep inspiring us, Queen :) thanks for the vid

I have to moisturize my hair everyday, my scalp will get dry fast, I use rose water mixed with tea tree and peppermint oil.

I am always so excited to see your videos!! Okay no I haven't started my loc journey yet but I am getting as educated as possible before I start it. Thank you so much for this video it definitely answered some of my questions. Your locs look beautiful as usual.❤

I love your soothing voice! Love seeing the joy that you show concerning your loc love.

This was sooo useful. I think I'm going to go with more oil when moisturizing, rather than just dousing it with water everyday. My curl texture is super tight, so the water has really stopped the locking process, but my retwists last a few days because of that

I'm going on 4 months and I love every moment and stage ❤

I’m so loving your videos and your journey! I just reached a month and am so excited to continue. I look forward to your next video! Love your locs! ☺️

I'm one week in so this video is helpful!!

People need to understand retwisting is just for aesthetic appeal,to look cleaned up. Retwisting has nothing to do with your hair budding or locing.

It’s the Skin for me!!!❤️❤️❤️

Great video Des! From a person who had coils multiple times, I can tell you they don't split. Now it depends on your hair type if they unravel in your first few washes because mines didn't.

I'm about to start my journey! I'm nervous and excited lol

I love your video! I’ll be getting start with filming my loc journey soon, right now I just do reaction videos 🤗

TFS such great tips! I plan to start my loc journey very soon

I love your locs.

Just started my loc journey today with two starand twist. !

Solid second 🤓 love your channel!!!

Great video. I love your hair style. As for the mother whose daughter has dry locs, in addition to the great advice you provided, she may want to increase her water intake.

Greetings from Instagram 😭 no question you’re just amazing, love you 💜

I’m starting my locs with the two strand methods. If I wear hair wraps to school often, would that affect my locking journey?

1 month, 3 weekkkss🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️🤸🏾‍♀️.

Love the frizz

You should also do a different loc styles video ❤❤

Hi, how much of the mixture do you use when you make it? The vitamin e oil, shea nut oil and aloe oil Also, what do you wash your hair with?

This is helpful cuz I'm soon to be 1 month loc'd on Halloween 🎃😘

I just started mines 7/17/20

One month in tomorrow !! I get a retwist as well. I was worried about my 3c hair type

I’m almost at 4 months 🕺🏽

Any one know any apps/ online stores that sell nature/functions like nature African American pratice wigs

I watch your channel all the time even when I had faux locks...now I'm on day two of my journey..but what is rose water lol ? How many locks do u have? I feel as if mine are to big

Look up loc styles on Pinterest!!

I’m paying attention 👀👀

Heyy I have a a really bad problem with dry itchy scalp with dandruff. Any tips to help this go away? I've never had dandruff before starting locs. I wash every week and a half bc the itching gets soo bad please please help

Im starting my locs tomorrow with 2 strand twists wish me luck

My locs are two months today 🥳🥳

Can i just wet my hair in the shower or is that bad?

I love all your videos and you locs are gorgeous how many do you have?

Hey Desz, How are you? You're a godsend! I wanted to know why you prefer the palm rolling method for retwisting your locs. Is there any disadvantage to interlocking? Cause I have really thick locs (thank you again for inspiring me) and I tried to retwist using the palm rolling method and it didn't hold. The only loctitian I know only does the interlocking method so I want to be sure I'm not playing myself by going to her salon. Thank you❤

Dez you are so beautiful. Oh your hair is dope af too. I'm in month 7 of my journey

My first set almost took a month to pull out 😂😭

❤️

I have waves right now. I know i want a diamond part with 2 strand twist. How many inches do I need to start that?

I was wondering what was your hair type before you got locs like 3b, 4a

How would you recommend putting rice water on your locs and how often?

“It Can look really matted, and I just don’t really like that look for me.” Well I’ve got news, my friend - locks are literally matted tangled hair, so maybe they just aren’t for you. Gotta embrace it.
