I was just tired. Tired of wash days, Tired of feeling bound by my hair. And what made me really realize it was time to loc was that I was doing mini twists ALL the time.

@ladybird491 7 месяцев назад

Same here! I am super fed up with being a slave to my hair. I am getting it locked very soon. I have spent loads of money to just be a hair care slave. 😠

@nellekeysgaming 7 месяцев назад

This right here, I currently have in minitwist and I am thinking of just letting it loc. The new growth is crazy and its 100+ every month to 6 weeks to get it redone with deep conditioner and everything.

About to start my journey and these are all of my reasons. I feel I need a W2 for the amount of time it takes to do my natural hair. 11 years of fighting my hair.

@deborahjoy3994 Год назад

@@KekeJ isn't sisterlocs also expensive to maintain? It cost a lot to retwist compared to traditional locs except you can do your retwist your self

@Fern23 2 года назад

15 years of detangling super thick and long kinky hair will make you think about it at least once. Edit: Another sign would be having this real concern about “fighting” your hair. If your hair has the tendency to easily mat together, you may decide not to continue preventing it from doing what it naturally does.

@aje-olokunsChile 2 года назад

This is me. It locs itself WEEKLY, which doesn’t match my lazy natural ways 😫 Been natural 11 years… and after all this time of feeling like my hair fights me, this video and your comment are making me face the music : it’s ME fighting MY hair. I suppose I need to finally let my hair be, so I can be ME ❤️

@jandnoc Год назад

5 years locked 🙋🏾‍♀️ By far one of the top three best decisions I've made in my entire life. 11/10 would recommend

@yamanutchymarcellus1498 2 года назад

I want to loc my hair because I want a change. Not only physically but spiritually. I feel like it will help bring out more of my femininity, break away from fear and commitment, and just being deeply rooted in myself.

@MoonLotusStarseed 2 года назад

I shaved mine off cuz it stressed me out way too much. I had gotten to the point where I couldn't take care of it anymore with my work and course load. It'll grow back though..then I just may get on the loc train! Great video! :)

@KekeJ 2 года назад

I feel you! I debated doing that as well but wanted to give locs a shot first. I’ve been enjoying it but my chop again in the future ❤️ thank you!

@tiara3139 2 года назад

Wow I’m 5/5 here!! Whew! I have always been one who loved my hair and trying different styles… I took so much pride in it… relaxed and natural. But I kind of reached a point where I was just looking in the mirror and exhausted just thinking about it. I gave myself 2 weeks to decide if I wanted to change my mind. I could not stop thinking about it. So I did it. I’m 6 months in and still as excited as I was on day one.

Hi! I have an appointment for two strand starter locs this weekend. I'm excited! I've tried locs in the past but felt I didn't have enough. I had about 40-45. I'm just tired of not enjoying wearing my loose natural hair. The humidity ruins my beautiful hairstyles, it gets so tangled when I do wear it out, my hair is always in twists or 2 braids, etc. Yep, it's time to give locs another try! Thanks for the video! Your locs are beautiful! 🤗

@yvauhnc.6857 2 года назад

Yes!! All the reasons I’m thinking of locing my hair! It takes me 3 days to do my hair the first I need to mentally prepare myself for the work I’m about to put in on my head the next 2 days 😩

It’s time. Lol I laughed when you said “if you keep your hair in protective styles to avoid doing your hair” 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I keep my hair out for a week and I’m over it. 😂 The following weekend it’s back in braids for 4 weeks.

@taneishawilliams8994 2 года назад

I've been dabbling with the decision to Loc my hair (on and off) for about 4 years now. Each time when I'm on, I'm submerged in research and other people's Loc journey. I've decided to install some mini twists this weekend to get an idea of the possible transition...... Please pray for me lol 🙏😬

@LocsSoFine 2 года назад

It was reason #3 for me. My hair was getting, how to we say… “not cute” because I was just ponytailing it because I didn’t want to do my hair. Since starting my RU-vid channel has been 100% more than I’ve done to it in the last 5 years. Loved this video!

You only missed one I can think of... it's the casually bringing it up to family members, to gage their thoughts on natural locs and dreads. ☺ I'm going to be starting the micro loc journey diy in 2-3 months(around my 36th bday in Feb. to produce new growth) after being fully relaxed since the age of 5 years old. I have no kids but if I did I would never put a chemical in their hair. I'm looking forward to stripping out of my African American costume and stepping into being my black woman for the very first time🍒🍫!! The freedom I see in your eyes, makes me feel like a slave 🔗. I will be keeping my relaxed ends for a min. of 6 mos. How far Kween🍒🍫👑❣!?! 🌬 You look even more amazing than you think🌠

I've been thinking about getting locs for over a year now and I'm still unsure for some reason. I know loose hair is versatile but I can't remember the last time my hair wasn't in box braids or under a headwrap. It's gotten to a point where I'm stopping people in the street🥴🥴 I know I need to just install my microlocs and stop trying to make myself like like bigger locs out of laziness🤣🤣🤣

@KekeJ 2 года назад

I completely understand. I was the same way, always had protective styles. Just think of it like this, it will take a while to install your microlocs, but it will be the last time you have to do your hair for that amount of time!

@adnaloy9025 Год назад

I have been thinking about locs since 2012 too, my last relaxer was November 2022 (I don't remember the date). I have some test locs in now. I have seen ALL those signs in my hair. I just keep my hair in bantu knots when I am at home. And I put it in a bun if I have to go out, that's my other sign... bantu or bun, sleeping in two buns on the sides.

@iamzann1319 2 года назад

Combing out my 5 month locs just because I feel like one side of my head isn't even plus I now want my hair dyed first 🤦🏾‍♀️sigh but definitely love locs, I'm always looking at locs, I cannot stand having to put on a wig and doing extra crap to wigs so yeah I'd rather have locs lol. Your locs are definitely some of my favorites 😍 💕

@manuela. 2 года назад

Do you think you can dye the locs? I want locs sooner than I'm able to dye my hair and I thought I could just dye the locs instead

@barbiellaa47 2 года назад

I started April 29th 2022, I’ll be at 5 months this month on the 29th. All my life I’ve been a loose natural, I had braids 3-4 times in my life. I wanted to try something new, I dived in head first not really knowing much about locs. When I tell you this is the greatest decision I’ve ever made in my life. Never seen this much growth in 4 months vs the 19 almost 20 years that I’ve been on this earth. I’ll be 20 soon but, if you are having doubts to anyone reading this. START THEM NOW! 💗💗💗

@thandekahadebe9978 6 месяцев назад

The reason why I want to lock my hair it is because I am tired of doing different hairstyles and they are painful. My hair grows fast, and I must spend two weeks with hairstyles and change them, of which sometimes I do not have time for that, I love washing my hair a lot, so I would be able to maintain one styles without stressing about detangling my hair.

@tanishasbeautymark 2 года назад

I feel like your speaking to me! I have been obsessed with sisterlocs/microlocs for the past 4 years, have a Pinterest board with hundreds of pics and wear protective styles because my hair likes to be left alone. Lol! My natural hair is just slightly above armpit length and wash days are just draining. I’m so ready to get my locs now but it’s difficult finding a loctician in my area so I’ve been watching your vids and other RU-vidrs with micro locs to figure it out. Hoping to loc my hair before the end of this month!

@shaniqueenglish109 2 года назад

I've had traditional locs before.. now I'm a loose natural. The longer my hair gets, the more I realize that I might be ready to take the plunge again. Your hair is seriously making me consider starting it with twists. You and your mane are absolutely beautiful!!! Now, will you be willing to start them for me? Your meticulousness is right up my alley lol. And I am not asking for a freebie!!! So... Yes or no? 👀

It locks up naturally because its gotten so long and im really just tired of maintaining it but i am white and not sure the best way to go about starting them. Im also not sure about micros just because i feel like they might lock together but dont want thick locks ughhhh.... any king advise is much appreciated!!
