Our hair is sacred, it naturally grows towards the divine. They'll eventually be too heavy and fall. I am a month in and started with an inch off hair. I am embracing the entire journey. Thanks for sharing, great informative video.

Those 3 - 9 months you looked amazing! The ugly phase doesn't exist in my books lool

You are so right about the baby/teen stages. I’m 10 months loc’d now, and I love my hair. My hair looks and feels loc’d, even though they’re not totally mature. I’ve been fascinated since day one, just like with a newborn baby.

I’m 6 months in and it’s so bittersweet 🥺 I remember when I was just a few weeks in and didn’t know where I’d end up but I’m glad I stuck with it. I’m still not completely loced but most of mine don’t unravel any longer thank goodness 🥰

Shawty said fight me in the comments if you feel like it🤣😂… anyways i loved the energy and the information you gave🥺🥰

I’m 6 weeks in and needed to hear this.

I started my locs 19 days ago. I love the way my hair looks. I already had shrinkage prior to starting my locs so I expected them to start shrinking even more. Shrinkage is a sign of your hair growing I had to learn that when I became natural for 15 years ago. I should have started this loc journey years ago, but I'm glad I did start it.

Your brows are giving me life, lol I love your straight forwardness !

New subbie here!! I'm a little over a month in. They are transforming faster than I expected and transforming how they want. Lol. I was going for small locs, but I'm loving my thick locs honestly. I'm enjoying not having to think about my hair. I'm love the journey. They are changing DAILY. Great video!

I'm almost one month in. It is an adjustment growing my locs and accepting the frizz as my hair is only a few inches long and it's a brand new journey of embracing my natural hair but I'm loving it. Thank you for this informative video!

Watched half this video one month into my journey, rewatched in full now two months in! Feeling relieved every time. Thank you for sharing!

This one of the best and informative videos that I have found. Just started my lock journey a week ago. I love your personality and energy

Thank you I’m 1 week in my Loc journey and I know that it’s the best decision I’ve made for myself so far. I am collecting notes from various Loc KZfaqrs and stumbled across your channel. Great advice and i will make sure to follow your list of don’ts as I feel that I now have an opportunity to love and take care of my natural hair correctly. Thanks a million, K

I'm one week into my finger coils. Quick story: I went in for Goddess Crochet locs but once my Loctician saw the areas of Alopecia, she recommended coils and then we'd reassess. I've had locs and Sister locs in the past and loved them, but with the Alopecia I decided to basically shave my head. But when it'd grown out to a couple of inches, I decided to go back to the Loc look. I am loving my coils,and will continue on and not do the crochet. Thank you for your video, because it confirmed for me that I actually did enjoy the full journey. I know I'll have some thin areas, but my other hair will fill and cover. Bless you Sis!❤🥰❤

This is one of the best videos I've seen so far! You were very detailed and informative! Often times others have information to give, but its sounds like rambling, but when you spoke, you got down to the real nitty gritty of things. Thank you for this video! I actually subscribed to your channel around the eight minute mark! You definitely have the knowledge and leadership to help guide people such as myself and others who are in the starter loc (first year) stage! Amazing video!!! ❤❤❤

Im 1 month and two weeks into my loc journey and everything is happening so fast, the length is crazy, they're already budding and they're starting to hang alot. Granite I did start with my hair kinda long and my hair is super thick but im loving it

I'm 4 months in! Yay. I agree with every single thing that you said not to do in the first year. I sent this video to my niece that is considering starting locs ❤

I love this video so much! I just started my loc journey. I’m almost a week in and your video feels more like a helpful conversation from a big sister vs a traditional KZfaq video lol. I’m just nodding to everything you’re saying like you’re talking to me directly 😂 definitely a new subscriber!💕

Ma, your energy and enthusiasm radiates positivvvvvve vibes 100... Just starting my Loc journey...with doubts and anxieties...but after coming across your video, I am beyond motivated and staying the course

I love your minimalist approach with your locs and that's what I am going by!

I love your Spirit 😊 I just started my Loc journey on the 5th and I’m so looking forward to this journey ❤️

By far my favorite video I’ve seen so far about the beginning stages of the journey! Love your energy!! I have an appointment to get locs in 3 weeks, and I’m so excited to get started! 💜

I’m about 5 weeks into my loc journey. I’m so glad I came across this video!! Striving to be as confident as you were in your beginning stages 💜

Your energy is immaculate, i love it here

i just reached 1 month & i have a lot of buds! I was surprised at how fast it happened. My first re-twist is in a couple of days so I’m excited to her how she says they’re coming along 💕

I’m beginning my locs and I’m so excited on this journey. It’s so good

I subscribed to you just now because you're so animated and informative at the same time. And you kept things so real. Thank you so much.

6 months loc for me. I be having a lot of questions, and you answered them all. Thank you!!❤️

Needed this today im 2 months in ugh i yelled out when you said shrinkage its so real but my garden has grown lots i thank you

This is my first time watching one of your videos. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Loved everything about ya!

I usually have a hard time watching long KZfaq videos but I didn't even notice how long this one was because I was so captivated. This video amazing and informative and gave me the virtual "hug" I needed to stick to this journey. I love youuuu 😭😭🙌🏾❤

Thanks for info. I’m 2 1/2 months. Day by day I’m with the process learning my hair. The frizz is crazy. I’m glad to hear frizz is a good thing. ❤️❤️❤️

I absolutely love the head wrap. Please do a tutorial on that look

2 months in and so far im loving the journey. Thank you so much for this video!

Today isn’t Valentine’s Day, but I’m still going to send some lovely hearts your way ❤️❤️❤️

Omgggg This was sooooo Helpfull ❤️ I’m starting my loc journey for New Years and I’m so readyyyy thanks sooo much boo❤️❤️

I’m so glade I found this video. For one it was very informative and exactly what I needed. Second I did have a lot of questions and you got me straight sis. Thank you so much I now know what to look forward to.

I'm just under a month. I have watched so many vids but I like yours the best!!! Great information! Thanks for the encouragement!

There’s something about this beautiful Sistaa! I was so mesmerised by your beauty, confidence and articulation on this topic 💚 Thank you for this video 🙏🏿

The reassurance you gave me was out of this world lol. I needed to hear that I’m not doing anything wrong.

I’m only 1 month in and I’m already budding and the shrinkage is disrespectful lol but I’m embracing the journey…great video thanks

I feel like if I was crying you’d hug me and my problems would just melt away. Your personality is warming i love youuu thank. you for the videos too I started my locs in October and ig it’s going fine but it’s a journey fr

The bit about how fire you saw yourself and the locs at the time...and now you look back you like "bruuuuuuhhh" really hit close to home🤣🤣...

New subscriber here I just started my journey 7days ago and I love my babies they are my boys I am here for all of the stages because I know it will birth something beautiful 🦋

I needed to hear every single thing said in this video. I’m 7 months in and restless lol Thanks for the advice.

My head isn't even completed yet & already I'm excited about my journey. My baby locs will grow.

I'll be a month in on the 15 and I've washed 3 times so far. It has help with the budding and tangling. I started and maintained my mom's and daughter's locs with marley hair years ago and through their journey and the amount of research I've been doing I am so ready for each stage. I'm definitely not interlocking my hair like I did theirs or palm rolling the length of my locs. Wild growth hair oil, rosewater, jojoba oil, neem oil, and castor oil butter will be my best friends. I finally got the right combo to combat the dryness this week. Great video! I think I'm gonna start a channel like my mom has been telling me to do for the pass 10 years because I can do hair, but I wasn't interested. However, I'm enjoying documenting my journey and watching these baby locs transform. 💙💜

I LIKED HOW YOU EXPLAINED THE LOC STAGES AND THE DO AND DO NOTS😀

You are not lying at all💯💪🏿 just so you know it's probably more brothers in here than just me sis 😉💪🏿💯✊🏿

I love your energy!! I do locs and im glad i came across your video... Im 5 years in on my loc journey.... Contemplating cutting it...

I’m one month into my loc journey. Your video was so helpful. Your loc’s are beautiful.

Thanks sus for this video it was very helpful. I started my sons journey 2 weeks ago. And this budding stage is killing me. New sub🥰

Your skin is so gorgeous. It is GIVING!!

Very informative video, I’m a year and a month loc’d and I made a couple of these mistakes & I completely agree with your tips ! especially wearing braids or faux over your locs I experienced a lot of thinning .

You got it! Shine on queen!

Thank you so much for this. I started my locs 1 week ago and I promise you, I'm budding! Don't laugh. I swear I'm budding! lol. Something is happening. But you hit on so many points and answered so many questions that out of the thousands of videos it seems like i have watched i haven't gotten the answers you gave. Thanks again. And yes, my locs are like a newborn baby. Can't control what it does, but just love it and take good care of it. Love the analogy. Love this vid.

Thank you, as I am into my 3rd month and the things you mentioned are what my locs are doing and your video is very informative and helpful.

I just love u so much I’m starting mine on the 1st and I was scared a lil but u helped out a lot and u make me wanna do them even more❤ how u broke it down is amazing I’m definitely subscribing ❤

I'm 4 day's in !!! Excited but nervous...lol Thanks for the video!🥰

Sis you did this video ! It was so informative, thank you.

Thank you for all this, That headwrap is so pretty on you!!

Thank you for the information. I'm 9mos in and I'm trying to be patient 😌 I still have alot of Shrinkage, Bulging and Budding🤷🏿‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️😁

@1:50-1:56 that was me sis 🙋🏽‍♀️ but now that I’ve colored and retwist last night I feel like ok I can do this! I just made 8months yesterday on the 2nd. And I have braid locs I’m proud of myself! The braid pattern is fading away 😌

Great information, you answered all my questions I needed. I just started my locs.

I needed this video since I’m in my seventh month stage. Thank you for the tips.

Great video! It’s soo true about braids over. I put crochet braids on for a week for a friend’s wedding as a bridesmaid and that thinned my locks so much. I had to really nurture them back to life. I started my daughter’s locks and the build up coz she’s always lying somewhere I’ll need to a detox to get on top of the build up!

I am loving your energy!!! New subbie!!😃

I’m almost 6 months in ! Everything I thought I knew I didn’t lol I have learned so much about my hair it’s a journey indeed . I spray water everyday and use rosemary oil and my hair has flourished . I try not to style it anymore as much and just let it be free . I don’t palm roll only interlock every like 8 weeks . I like the free form look . I’m still Learning how to be patient with interlocking and I love my hair most days . Some days I don’t be feeling it sometimes but I’m trusting the process . I miss when my locs were short short and I look at them now like wow they are growing . 6 months in a few days and I’m so proud of myself and my hair . Loccd gang forever

Thank You 🙏🏽 I’m starting my locs October 27th so excited

Amen to number 3. I took out my first set that was gawwwwgous bc of the mmmm braids over my locs. I was so hurt and they started looking bumpy I combed them out and started over three weeks later. I wish I never did that. That set was everything. Started instant loc. This set was started some coiled and it’s a different lesson and outcome.

Thank you! I’m in the first 3 months and on top of being pregnant I’ve been very impatient and even considered doing the crochet style next month but I’ll just stick to my wigs I guess, lol!

Love the look!! You have a great personality thanks for sharing!

i LOVE your energy !

Thank you I’ve learned so much about my loc journey 🥰

This is a very informative video! I’m in my 2nd month, and I have 3c hair.. i thought the frizz was getting out of hand!! Now i see it’s ok lol this is a fun journey

Mine is 8months.. thanks so much find this helpful to me...much love from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪

I’m 10 months locd and my hair shrink so much. I started with bra strap length and now it’s a damn bob lmao but I’m happy. My only “regret” is the thickness

So true about the crochet.. I just took those out and said "not again!!"

🥹Im a guy but 2 years later & this is still helpful for my journey.

My first loc journey was instant locs with a bit of extensions, I cut them off because I didn't want the extensions anymore, had a TWA for a year and a few months, then started my loc journey again in February with 2 strand twists. I'm currently 5 months in and the frizz is insane but I love it. My hair, however, couldn't hold a retwist for more than 2 days, so I recently decided to interlock, just to see if it'll be good for my baby locs. I don't think I'll have a retwist for the next 2 months because of interlocking. It's only been 5 months but sis, it has been one emotional rollercoaster, but I'm trusting the process and loving it

I love your energy! Thanks for the video.

I am 5 months in and I needed to hear this ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

1:04 This video is for me! 2 Months on two strand twist with long hair on fine curly hair. I'm riding the patient waves 🌊🌊🌊 I'm cool with where ever this is taking me. Wild, crazy, I'm ready...!!!

You look so beautiful and a beautiful personality. Glad i found your channel.

This was great!! Thank you for the information and I love your personality 💕❤

Thank you. This was fun to watch and I learned a lot🙌🏾

I’m 7 months in and I’ve definitely messed mine up with not moisturizing and manipulation. I wish I could go back but imma just rock it out and learn from my mistakes. Thanks for the tips

Great info. I’m a month and 2 weeks in and I already have the budding, frizziness and shrinkage.

So informative sis🥰 Thank u. I’m 6 months in

I'm ready to do this. I feel like I need the actual journey mentally and spiritually

12 weeks in!!! I don't leave the house without a hat and on the rare occasion that i do the stares!!!

I did not expect my hair to shrink 2-3 inches. It’s crazy the frizz does not bother me, since I understand the purpose of my hair looking frizzy. But BABY not having my BSL anymore 😞 I always took comfort in having a decent length of hair. With locs you don’t have the options to blow dry your hair to stretch the length or choose the length of your hair. My shrunken hair is now the length of my hair. I went from BSL to earlobe/ neck length. This journey humbled me to say the least

I’m almost 9 months in so happy 💪🏾♥️🏆

I’m 2 months in and love it even if they’re not ready to loc yet😀

Yes thank you I am in month 6 and they are a lil fuzzy but definitely see growth.

Ty for this video I’m wanting to start micro locks so this video is very helpful n by the way your locks look great 👍🏽

I micro locd my hair on 1/31/22 abd the shrinkage is real. I don't have a good shape or cut for my locs so it's hard but im committed to the process..

Thanks for the video… I just started my loc journey yesterday

I never watch long videos! But you wasn’t so extra. Really just strictly to the point I’m only 1 month in and U got me scared because I literally have crotchets in right now. I’ll keep u updated sis. Cause the plan was to wear crotchets and wigs for about 3 months

This was so informative. Thank you for this video!
