Lauren, your locs look great! I so appreciate how diligent you are in keeping us updated on your progress...it truly helps to keep me inspired (and I'm sure many others too.) Keep the videos coming and I will be certain to watch them. Incidentally, I just started my 11th month of semi-free-forming and I feel your videos help to show me what I should expect along the way. Kudos!

I'm glad to help in any way I can :) I appreciate you keeping up with the updates as well, I'll keep the videos coming for sure. Thank you!

Keeping my hands out of my hair is *so* very challenging! What an easy distraction, that. I've been looking at cotton berets, tams even some snoods. (A Dr Seuss word, surely.) And you and hair {lowers voice} "it's been thorough some things" (lol) -- both blossoming! I'm around 10-11 months with 2nd retwisted 3 weeks ago. More locks are holding and firming up. Like you, my life and attention not as focused on or engaged with or in my hair.

Tams are great for the fall and winter. They hold all of your locs and keep your ears warm in the winter. Also they're fairly cheap and come in a variety color options and styles

That is exactly what I am looking for. The only thing is that the heat in Florida is no joke, but I still want one regardless lol

Your locs are still looking great! Definitely longer! it's crazy how you can just flip them around like that now. I just visited Florida for a few days and yeah that humidity is no joke lol while there, I found it was helpful to rub a little coconut oil over my (almost 5 month old) locs and scalp after I washed or wet them and that made them feel super soft and got rid of the dryness. I think i will do this until my locs are a little more mature and absorb water a little better.

You're so right, the humidity is something else! LOL but that sounds like a good idea! :)

Thanks for sharing because I Love your updates! To help keep my hands out of hair I made two homemade loc socs, and I found a a seamless style bandana at the dollar tree. You can also get a bundle of seamless style bandanas on amazon, which is something I plan to do for my kids and myself. Looking forward to your next video!

@cj25674 8 жыл бұрын

I honestly had no idea as to what I was doing at the time. I quickly scanned a video or two on how a few people put them together and then I went in my closet, picked out two extra pieces of fabric, cut them up and whipped stitched them together by hand. They aren't pretty but they get the job done. :-D

@black76561 8 жыл бұрын

Lauren Jackson I try to keep updated with your vlogs as your hair journey feels so similar to my own. It's beautiful to see how thick yours has become from the early days. I've started using Jamaican castor oil to restore my broken hair line and so far so good. I've also tried rubbing ginger root on my hairline to stimulate growth a tip I learned from another tutorial, only just started that last week so I'll update in a few months on that. Exciting times ahead. Peace & Blessings xx GEmini💁🏽

@mrhymer95 8 жыл бұрын

Your locs have definitely grown a lot, but because you have almost free- form locs, your locs haven't been twisted so they appear much shorter. I know because I just finished semi free-forming my locs recently. Your locs are healthy and thick. You will see a growth spurt about the two-year mark. I think the tube wraps by tonidaley.com would look amazing on you and would hold your locs up. She also has a KZfaq channel.

@LaurenJacksonlocs29 8 жыл бұрын

Hey, MsMalika64! I definitely noticed that my locs have gotten very compact and tight, especially after living somewhere else for 3 months with low water pressure. My locs seemed to shrink to me. But, like you mentioned, many other people say they really start to become their own after 2 years. I will check out her channel and her website, for sure. Thank you for the advice as always!

LOL, glad I could answer your question! My locs never really stuck together too much throughout my journey, but when they do, I definitely separate. And I have trained some of the loose hairs around my locs near my scalp, by wrapping them around the nearest loc (but only when your hair is wet!). How is your journey coming along so far?

I have baby locs that stick up. I am semi free forming and thinking about using an AFRO pic to lift the roots. Mainly bcos they seem to flatten in the morning. I was wondering if you lifted your roots with a pic in the early days too?

@LaurenJacksonlocs29 8 жыл бұрын

Hey, Stacey! My locs become more flat as well in the morning. But I've never lifted my roots before. I try not to create too much tension on my roots. All I did, and still do, is jump in the shower every morning and wet my hair thoroughly, to wake them up. I hope this helps! :)
