1. Don’t sleep without your durag/head covering 2. Focus on your scalp the first months, use tree oil/peppermint oil 3. DON’T SCRATCH YO HAIR 4. Wash it once a month, ideally two if you don’t want it to look rough for the first months. Depends on your hair texture as well . 5. Don’t dye your hair early

If you aren’t retwisting your own hair and you have someone else doing it for you PLS PLS PLSSSSS DO NOT LET JUST ANYONE PUT THEIR HANDS ON YOUR LOCS! Iv met a lot of people who have said they can do locs but couldn’t... Ask for a portfolio, verify before they do anything..

I love number 4. I had long beautiful locks and kept them for a long time. I started them when my pops was alive because they represented freedom. I had just went to college and mother didn't want me to have them. So when I moved out it was the first thing I did. My pops was my boxing trainer and loved them. They got long! REALLY long. He passed away in 2008 and a few years later I cut my locks for a fundraiser for a kid that had brain cancer. Long story short, after that ever time I tried to regrow my locks I kept cutting them over and over because then it was about the "style' where as the first time it was "spiritual". During this quarantine I put my locks back in... But this time it feels different. I'm ok with the 'rough' look because I feel my locks are a spiritual representation of my new knowledge... My "North Star" so to speak is closer to when I first had my locks rather than the image of it. Thank you for the great advice!!

I’ve been scratching like crazy. Lol 3 weeks in. It’s gonna be so hard to loc my hair because I don’t have the texture. My hair is more of a wave then a kink so I’m looking like a wild woman right now. I compare it to me growing into who I want to be. It starts out rough but eventually turns into something beautiful. Another awakening. Another transformation into another part of the journey. Can’t wait to see how they will look a year from now. Great video! I subscribed. 💙

I had locs for 10 years; I cut them when they dropped below my waist. I started with two months of growth. I started and maintained my locs by myself. People often stopped me in public and complimented my locs and/or asked who my loctition was. I formulated my own oil and mixed my own shampoo concoction. I washed my hair once every three weeks; I didn’t use conditioner because it causes buildup-causing mold. I never wore a durag-NOT ONCE!

To be honest, my mom had put Locs into my hair when I was 7 and at the time my hair was pretty long already and was slightly past my shoulders. And by the time I had cut them, they were near my butt and literally I had them in for like 3 or 4 years. And now that I'm 14 I miss my Locs, even though being able to brush through my hair was pretty cool, I feel like I need my locs back because I just miss them so much. So thank you SOOO much for this video because I had no idea what to do. 😁

Thankyou so much for uploading this video. I'm horrific for scratching, and I've fallen into frizzy starters and in trying to combat how to fix this before things get worse. There's been so many conflicting advice and it's really tough to know where to start especially as my hair is super dry!! So thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for this clear, concise advice!! 🥰

Great information, coming from a licensed cosmetologist, loc enthusiast, and going thru my own loc journey! I would add using a leave-in conditioner, or a spray conditioner, instead of a cream to help prevent the locs from slipping. Also, if you do have a hard time remembering your scarf at night is opting for a satin pillowcase. i started my locs on Jan 9

You know... I research things to the fullest extent and I find the most reliable sources in doing so. If I don't know where to go, I just keep asking questions until I search for something that fits exactly what I'm looking for, if it sounds like it's what I need to know, I take hard core notes, on routine, terminology, etc etc etc. It really depends on what it's about but my preface point is that I'm dig deep until I feel I've found a professional that KNOWS what they're talking about. I've gotten quite a bit under my belt and I just have to say, I can already tell, at 2:21 seconds into your video, that I can trust what you're saying. Your responsibility, rationality, logic, and terminology all tells me a lot. So far you're my favorite, go to, dread, educator. Thank you for your guidance!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Thank you so much brother! This was so helpful. New dreadlock tribe started on jun 21 2024. Its only been a couple of days and ive been sleeping with my loc cap and my loctician told me to use small amouns of tea tree oils or peppermint like you said. But i really am doing this because of my spiritual faith of 7 years now. My north star is looking more like my scandanavian brothers and sisters. I am so honored and humbled that spirit chose this path for me. 😅 and damn do i look good. Almost like that new infant born baby coning outta that womb. The push was kina gross but when you put those locks in your fingers and not at the roots. I feel like its a hair garden. Gotta give the garden your nutrients when your gutt tell you too while the beginning days for me. Its saying leave me alone. So night caps and leaving them alone while the roots lock in. Love this video so much. 🎉
