But remember this: Your journey is that: your journey. Take it as you see fit and get out of it what you can. No one can a journey that they themselves did not take…and since they aren’t you, they didn’t take your journey. Embrace it…and may your journey bear much fruit.

These are facts! When I grew my first set of locs, and I decided to cut the sides abs back, I knew it was only time before I cut the rest of my hair. They just didn’t fall right and I was ready to transition. Now that my locs are growing in unison all over my head, it appears more full mainly because I do indeed have more hair, and not necessarily longer hair

I have a LONG full set and can do beanies. There’s bigger ones out there. I’d also recommend neck gaiters too if you don't want them rubbing on your neck. You could also keep your locs and still get a full set eventually….maybe look into attaching locs to your sides. Like EVENTUALLY they’ll get to the point where you’ll want to cut them shorter. If you got double your length, cut it in half and attach it to your sides, it could look nice. Of course that’s a process but food for thought maybe

Me personally I love my hightop set. I wasn’t a big fan of having a full set plus I think it works for me especially with styles and overall uniqueness. Maintenance ain’t too bad I shave it bald once a month then let it grow in. I stay away from the tapered front just rock my hairline natural and just trim the widows peak (can’t do the vegeta 😂) I got pretty good thickness too.

That crap with pushed back dreads started happening to me😭Before I started getting monthly lineups my dreads started at my hairline, now some of the them are an inch back because of the barbers combing hair out of my dreads for that crispy line. Wish I had known to tell them just to follow my natural hairline.

I'll be getting a new job soon and in Nigeria, having Locs in a formal environment is unheard of so I'm in a dilemma as it might make no-one call me back. I'm also thinking about the volume of my hair and how I can cut it and regrow a full head after some time... Tricky times. Great content!!!!

@axelosrs4714 2 жыл бұрын

I started with high tops and im 10 months in... i started to grow my sides out in the start march of this year because of the volume issue. I saw some pics of my hair from other angles and hated how little volume my hair had on the sides compared to the front and back. The length situation was never an issue for me. High top locs can look really good especially if you get a cut regularly and keep your hair up to show it off but If anyone is thinking of starting locs and youre like me, someone who doesnt plan to put your hair up and just wants to let them hang, just start with a full head of dreads. Growing my sides out as of now hasnt been bad because my locs are long enough to where they cover the new growth on the sides.

Hey TPLOCKS, as usual it’s great to see you☺️your baby girl looks so sweet & has GAWJUS hair like you & your Mum. I must be honest when your hair is down, it does look like the whole head is locked. As you rightly say, for some people a full head, might be too much, I know it would for me as I perspire a lot. I just love having my back & sides shaved, I’ve done this for the last & years & it has given me a lot of freedom, it’s low on maintenance & dare I say I think it’s sexy /edgy. It’s not quite Jada Pinket Smith, but you know what I mean. If you were in the UK people would call you mixed race & call your hair mixed coz it’s very soft. My hair does shrink, even now it’s locked, I must admit I wasn’t prepared for it to do that. But with the aid of your videos & laid back attitudes to your locks, it’s rubbed off on me & that’s the attitude I now have. I know it will get longer & I just gotta be patient & love the journey. I swear you look younger in every video you post. So glad I found your video. 🥰

Waiting to start my high top locks. As a woman of a certain age, i don't want anything laying on the back of my neck while having a hot flash.

This is part of the reason why I chose to start on a drop/low fade…so I have some of that volume with some of that space for a decent undercut. But let’s talk about the deforestation on the line of demarcation that can happen when you keep a faded set. Make sure you tell your barber to be mindful each time to make sure your locs remain intact.

I've never had locs or any type of dreads but I want them now but don't know if I should get a Hightop or a full set because my top head has alot if hair but my sides I think aren't long enough to get locs

@antisocialavarice 2 жыл бұрын

in the past I tried and tried and tried to maintain a full head of locs but it was too much work, so after trial and error, I decided on a hightop set and now nearly seven years later, they're creeping down between my shoulder blades and are actually longer than some of my coworkers who have a full head of locs

I'm actually thinking about cutting my sides to fit better inside helmets. Full set is such a pain in the ass to get in and out of helmets. Wondering if cutting the sides would make it easier.

Maintenance wise it’s a bigger Commitment to having a CLEAN set of high top locks… but at the same time I can see why we would be second to last on the chart

question: lets say i have high-top locs like yours with my sides grown(like 2 inches) and i want a full set, wouldn't it make sense to partially cut your locs and use them as "extensions" on your sides...with the crotchet needle of course?

@riotmakerzify 2 жыл бұрын

This is what I’m thinking about doing. I’m not sure if I’ll have enough locs for the side tho. I think I will.

hightop sets are just they way for me as i like to keep the sides and back short and crisp. I feel like it is an easier style to maintain and play around with. More versatile i guess

i went the opposite direction and grew out my taper after having a decent length. but i just hide them in my two-strand-twist.

I have the same thing but I started with a full set. Then went to high top and had the taper in the front. Now I’m starting to see my hair stopped growing or leaving my head. Like my hairline on the sides are getting way thinner. Nd las year I was smoking weed & blacks heavy. Was it because of the smoking or because of the new style? Because my hair used to be fuller and my hairline was good. Or could it be because I had my hair in ponytails? I wore my hair down for months and no growth. So I’m January 2022 it was normal, then February came and I still had a lot of hair since I didn’t retwist it. Then my sides of my hairline looked like it was coming up like how white people can comb they hair in front of they face. It was like that . Then my hair on the top of my head got shorter and shorter and my lining looked like it was going further back and back. So can someone help me? Was it the smoking ? The hairstyles

i have a full set (124). im planning on getting the drop fade bc i don’t think the high top would compliment my head shape & i love the aesthetic of the rope twist styles with the fade. i appreciate this vid & these comments! kinda glad i started out full now lol

Started a full set of dreads 4 years ago and had to cut them due to me twisting them too much and causing a bald spot. Still struggles to grow back till this day so I recently decided to start out with a high top and restart my dread journey instead of going bald every 5 months 😂
