Yesss congratulations!!! I hope you love them! And lolll I unintentionally made this video so girl focused 🤣 I’m happy it’s helpful either way!!

Yesss!! You’re almost there!! And okay wait what are fairy tale knots lol

@@kahinamatata THEYRE ANNOYING. it’s when the end strands of your hair wrap around each other! i never had them really until last year. the products i’ve been using are curling my hair.

Hi beautiful 🤎 You’re welcome! I definitely understand that. I’ll say the worst part of the process is really the smallest part of the journey so it’s absolutely worth it 🤗 it’ll fly by!

Hi beautiful! I hear you!! My next time around that’s what I’ll be doing too lol when do you think you’ll get them?

Hi beautiful! You’re welcome 🤎 and congratulations on starting the journey! I’m happy you’re making the best of it and staying excited. Do you have any milestones you’re looking forward to?

Hi beautiful 🤎 Omgg high school is the worst! I definitely get that and at the same time want to say don’t let anyone hold you back from living your best life! People will alwaysss have something to say or criticize smh so when we can find confidence in doing what’s best for us, life gets so much sweeter 🤗 You could also try out the updos I showed that covered the forehead or create a bang using bobby pins or a headband/scarf at first until the hair thickens or you feel more comfortable.

Fellow big head 👋🏾 lol. Locs got you covered, trust me! You can always do face framing or traditional bangs, especially with smaller locs! Plus, with the length retention that’s possible with locs, the focus will be on your beautiful long hair not your head. Plus, big foreheads are beautiful ion care what they say lol.

@2013lovemy LOL at this intro! And yessss sexy 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 lol I love everything about this comment. Definitely agree with the bangs; it’s soo pretty with microlocs! Can you share more about face framing 👀

@@kahinamatata Thank you 😊! So, I’m no expert (my locs are about 3.5 years and I don’t do much with them). I cut a few shorter pieces in the front and just kind of layered them so the first two were the shortest, then the next a little longer and so on. It’s been over a year, so they’ve pretty much grown out, but thinking of doing it again. It just adds a little style, you know? I have thickish locs (semi freeform so not super uniform, but most are about sharpie size). I think bangs with thinner locs look so cute! I’m considering starting my own micros for my next set. I lived in mini braids and twists for a while, so I know I’d be able to do them myself. I’m just not ready to comb these out yet (waiting at least a few years). Thanks for your vids, love seeing the progress!

@@2013lovemy thank you so much girllll. It’s not that I’m insecure about my forehead or anything but sometimes it just gets in the way of things💀💀💀but I’ll definitely have to try that trick when I get my sister locks. My mom and I are doing our research about them and trying to find a loction which is kinda hard but we’re planning to book an appointment pretty soon. Hopefully have have them before spring wish me luck!!!❤️❤️❤️

Oh wow what a journey!! What made you decide to cut the traditional locs? And starting DIY the next dayyyy; that’s commitment! Lol I love it. Definitely sorry to hear that you’re struggling though!Thankfully what you said about getting through the first month is so right; sooo much changes that quickly! I probably would’ve used head scarves/wraps more too in addition to the headbands but I didn’t really have any or know how to do them 🤣

@@kahinamatata My traditional locs did not look healthy. It was hard to do styles because I had no defined parts except a center part. Styling my hair was limited. I feel that Microlocs looks and acts more like natural loose hair, and I like that. I love the styles and the movement of the locs. My traditional locs were “ Hot and Heavy”. I would cut them periodically but they would grow back so fast. Also I color my hair and last January and lost some locs. I ended up with bald spots, so I thought this was a great time to hit RESET. I’m so excited. I can already see some improvements after only 2 weeks. I hope my hair grows fast and loc faster. But I’m patient and willing to trust the process. Thanks for your inspiration. Your hair is gorgeous.

I hear that. It makes so much sense that you pivoted the journey and I’m glad you had the courage to do it because I know how we can hold onto things sometimes (especially hair!) in fear of change lol and after two weeks, seeing results already… just imagine a month from now! I hope the journey goes so well for you; time moves by so fast so by default, you’re in good hands lol (and it’s a good sign that your previous locs grew so fast!). Thank you for the compliment, beautiful! 🤎

Oh no! Whew okay what I can say here is the 2-strand twists we manage to do on ourselves (unless you’re like really good with hair lol) are almost never as good-looking as the magic these stylists can give our heads! Plus, after keeping the twists in, they will thicken and get some shape and fill up all the empty space. If you’re still even slightly interested in locking up, I’d recommend to meet with a loctician for a consult to give you a better idea of what the style would really look like on you 🤎

Also dropping a quick reminder that you are beautiful at any and every age 🥰

🤣🤣🤣 done with that forever!! 🙌🏾

@@kahinamatatai’m ready to be done with that forever along with the fairy knots that i keep getting on my ENTIRE HEAD with every strand.

Hi beautiful! 🤎 That beginning thin scalpy look lasted about a month. Right after each of the first few reties, the scalpy look would show itself for a week then the frizz would fill it out lol

Actually, I just looked back at some pictures lol they were still thin looking at 1 month (though already much better)! It’s the 2 month mark where they started looking fuller 🤗

It last 2-3 months for me

That’s not bad! That time flies

😂 thanks again beautiful!! I replied on the other comment!

Hi beautiful! You’re welcome 🤎 I had to check the calendar for this one lol my first wash was three weeks after. Looking back, I probably could have waited until the first retie but because of the holidays, my first retie had to be scheduled further back than usual (a little over 6 weeks). So my loctician and I decided to have a midway appointment so that she could do a wash for me and check in on how they were doing.

Your loctician should let you know though (ask if she doesn’t lol) about what timing might be best for you, because it may differ depending on your hair and lifestyle.
