I love this vibe as well… that’s how mine are shaping up… initially I (first 4 months) I manipulated them often because 3bc curly hair, contrary to popular belief, crawls out of the coil if you breathe on it🤦🏾…
@@shereshamarks4517 isn't it exciting. I'm definitely going through the ugly awkward phase right now. Learning do's and don'ts as well 😩❤ How is your loc journey going?
Thick locs, means healthy hair. I hate when other people tell me to clean up my hair. I promote the Afro for more support, leaving less stress on my scalp. I stopped using products, I just wash my hair with coconut oil and use Indian hemp, sometimes. Peace, power!
Hi there 😊. Can you please explain how you wash your hair with coconut oil? I use it to moisturize my scalp, but I didn't realize you can wash your hair with it.
I am almost 3 months in and everything you said in this video I have been doing. I love the unkempt look, the frizz, the thickness my hair gives without retwisting. I never wanted “neat” locs I’m embracing what my hair does naturally. I guess you can say I’m semi freeform. But I absolutely loooooove it! There’s no “ugly stage” for me it’s all beautiful 💜✨
Loved the water spraying tip for moisture. I thought that I was the only one who didn't like wearing my dreads styled, lol. Been locked for 27 years and have worn them just straight down, ALWAYS. They had reached past my waist, but at some point and I realized that the weight was thinning my roots and it didn't help that thinning hair as you age runs in my mom's side of the family, so now I keep them cut and just brushing my shoulders. Thanks!
Stoney Hendrixx absolutely correct 🙌🏽 I was thinking about cutting my locs but my daughter hates the idea. She loves my hair more than I do lol... I love my locs but am tired of retwisting. So now looking at this video has changed my mind. That’s all I needed ❤️
Me too✋I started Mar.20, so like 6 weeks. I have retwisted 1x so far, now I know not to palm roll all the way down. I want thick locs. Good luck on your journey.
Love this girl, she's well spoken, straight to the point, no other noises in the background like music baby crying etc. Her hair is beautiful. Her info is well thought out simply beautiful. I am now a follower.
I also appreciate the fact that she has no music or noises in the background. She’s not making faces or acting silly and laughing like a lunatic. She’s an articulate and poised young lady.
JoyceMD haha! You always make me smile! ☺ lol. Thanks sis! I remember watching your video about color. Do you think you would ever take the plunge in the future? Possibly? You don't need by any means...just asking 😏 lol.
You saved me from ending this journey.... not only was I about to end it....I was about to end being natural period....that's how over it I am.... we look to have the same texture and that's exactly how my beginners locs look now and how yours turned out is literally goals..
Glad I found this channel. My son has locs as thick as yours, and I wanted them to be tighter, but I learned to embrace the thickness. I retwist his new growth only and embrace the frizz .
yes i love that water tip i spray rosewater and essential oils on my hair every other day and it helps my locs look fuller and i love how the frizzyness makes my locs look plump lol
Thank you so much! I'm 6 months into my journey and these tips helped so much. I get my hair retwisted once a month but I'm really thinking about free forming 💜
DeAndrea Reese You are so welcome beautiful! Congratulations on reaching 6 months! That's awesome 😊. I'm sure your locs will blossom beautifully whichever road you decide to take😊.
Had my dreads for 15-20 years and I always got my hair retwisted,styled n stayed under the dryer,but now I'm gonna wash n go,spray and no rubber bands!!! Thanks for the tips
You are right. I definitely don't palm roll at at all. I just twist the roots. My locs are frizzy a lot and I don't mind it at all because it's different. Also I hardly use products. For twisting the roots I use black castor oil. I just like it natural and product free. Good thing is my hair is very thick and I definitely don't want thin locs. Continue doing what you are doing. Your locs are beautiful
RįŔį RįŔį I use to use the white loc twist gel that has the purple cover but I told myself before it was finished I would stop using it. I am not a gel person because I don't like to use it. Gel ruins hair to me. After it was finished the same oil I use to oil my hair while it is wet I retwist the roots. You should try it. If your starting your locs, gel is a good way to keep your locs intact for like about the first six months depending on your hair type. Make sure you use good gel. As you always hear people say never ever put too much products in your locs. I never did but as I seen videos of people's locs, I felt bad for them. You learn from experience.
Your locks are beautiful! I'm going to lock my hair in a few months. I don't like the thin stiff lock look. Your hair looks soft and flexible. New subscriber here. I'm interested in learning as much as possible.
You're locs are beautiful sis! I started on my loc journey in May of this year and I'm loving the journey! Trying to get my front to stay but for the most part so far so good. I was using Eco gel at first. I did my own retwist today and used the Murray Loc Lock gel. Thanks for your advice!!
Hello I love your locs so much I have been following ur journey since u started I am 9 months loc and I free style cause I see mines have thicken alot and I use the water alot many don't like the frizz but I love it alot I want to dye mines black on next retwist excited about that cause mines look dull but I have always felt if I dye them black it will make them look better so keep up the good work and continue to keep update on ur journey you are the only one person I follow I love you sister You have a blessed and wonderful day and always remember to put Christ first in everything you do
Thank you for the tips. I'm two weeks in my locs journey, and these amazing tips will definitely help me on my journey. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on locs. You're the best. Please continue bringing these great tips for us. Take care.💕🙌🏿💕
Great tips! Thank you very much. I was retwisting my loc every 5 wks but after these tips I will embrace my freeze and retwist every 3 months. I love your locs 😊 want to have thicker locs.
This was great information. I am on my 8th month. The thick locs is the look I'm looking for and everything that you shared is going to help a lot. Thx.....
Your locs are the truth! Thank you for the information. It was extremely helpful because I'm about to get ready to start my locs. Keep the videos coming!
I love this video! I was getting discouraged because my locs are various sizes but I would love them to be as thick and beautiful as yours. I've watched quite a few videos but this has become my favorite. Thank you.
Purified or distilled water is literally all you need and a good oil .. I actually put 3 drops of peppermint oil in my purified water and it has done wonders! I’m 10 days in and I’m excited! My hair has grown in 10 days!! frizz is our friend !!!!
Tomorrow marks my 2nd week with my dreads I have a fine hair texture and not gonna lie I learned a lot from your journey so far and i really can't wait till they loc I appreciate your videos 💯❤
Thank you Sis for sharing your advise. Your crown is beautiful! I let go of setting gels, & beeeez-wax. I only use a conditioner (Dr Miracles) on wash day. Natural oils like Black Seed Oil, Moorocan Oil, Jojoba Oil, are great & I massage my scalp. I Spray my Locs with water & I’m done. Yep, the Satin cap is a must! Enjoy motherhood & parenting wit da father. In these crazy times, plz stay safe & be well. ❣️😊🌸
Shana Middleton yeah! You should 😊 I love the thick locs. I have 102 and if I would've known some of the info she was giving in this video when I first started, like palm rolling the length of the hair, I think mines might be a little fuller looking.
Olivia P I have a few videos on my channel you can see the size of my locs. I'm only 9 months in but I want them to stay thick. At first I thought I wanted the tight neat look!! Not anymore!!
I absolutely loved this video an all of your other videos, I'm on my second set of dreads did them myself as I've bin working whit dreads since 2015 an actually allot of what you've said is also what I've bin telling my clients.... especially about embracing the frizz am not to use products that create buildup an not to twist them to much...this video was very helpful
You made some good points.. Especially about using natural or less products on the locs. I've had locs for 16 years now. I am 5.2 and my hair is over 4 feet long. And I manage my locs myself. I never like the freeze bc I like for my hair to look very neat. So yes I did the wrap around/ coil the remaining strands and it does create some bumps on some strands. But eventually I think that I'll trim for remanagement and much thicker locs.
This was really good information I have been twisting my hair every 3 days I started my journey in September hopefully the minor damage I have done is repairable I do not go to stops
Love your videos and your hair! I do get retwists every 2-3 weeks, and mine are still very similar to your (style/thickness). But then (like you mentioned), he only twists the roots and barely touch the bottoms. I really think it depends on your hair and your stylist. I know some people don't like retwisting regularly. But for my first year it's worked out well and hair is growing like a weed. I'll be moving to 3 week intervals once I move out of this job search phase.
Ohhhh wow! I'm a Vegetarian, and have been for I know 10 years or more and I would love to go Vegan but I'm a true RAT! I just can't give up my cheese either. I don't do homogenized milk, only almond milk and eat tons of fruits and veggies of course but I have a problem, I can't give up cheese! When I heard you say that, I said to myself that's ME! I have tried Vegan cheese and I haven't found any that taste good yet. When I find that, I'm good. I'd go all Vegan.
Simply beautiful Queen !!! I will be on my journey 6 month's on April 17, 2020. I'm loving it all especially my frizzy. The knowledge that you are sharing I basically do. I did a lot of research as well as watched a many many videos before I started my journey and I knew exactly what I wanted and all the do's & don't kmsl. But most important was to except what's growing out of my 👑 and what work for me. As well as embarrassing every stage and going through my journey with GRACE !!! like the 👑 that I'm. Thank you very much for sharing your experience and knowledge about your loc journey. Be blessed as well as safe.
Your gorgeous! And your hair is the looks I am going for . I started with larger parts thinking I’d get thicker locs . My hair is also light weight , I’ve got 42 locs started with shoulder length loose curl pattern . I’m just 4 months in . This clip is great I like the info about retwist . My loctition did a retwist it wasn’t tight which was good but the bobby pubs flattened my locs end my locs went from full to thin . They are thicker now. Glad people post their true experience and willing to share
Thank you and congrats on your loc journey and reaching 4 months!😊 Spritzing them with water and not retwisting the shaft should thicken them right back up:)
Your locs are beautiful 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾I love❤️ thick locs good tips thank you for sharing sis. 👍🏾My locs are becoming thicker since I stopped retwisting as often I'm embracing my roots! 😉❤️🙏🏾
I just started my locs a month ago and I have no desire to retest often nor use products. Your hair is beautiful and you are very inspiring. I want my locs thick like yours. Thank you for this video!! And your channel!!!
Your hair is so beautiful n full, I have a spray bottle with 💦 water, acv, n black Jamaican castor oil .I wash condition n retwist all n the shower 🚿 I spray my hair down n get I poppin...
It's really amazing to me how similar our journey's are. I started in December of 2015, I used to spray my locs with water every day though ever since I started this rinse I don't have to do it as often. I semi-form and have thought about just never getting a retwist again. Oh I'm a vegetarian too! My spirit is guiding me towards veganism though. We're loc twins Angel. I'm just saying 😌
Love your videos. I'll be starting my loc journey on Sept 16. Your locs are beautiful and this is exactly the body of locs I'd like to achieve. Be blessed!
Thank you for the tips. There a several I am going to apply like not wrapping/combining my frizz back into the body of the Locs and styling. The longer my hair gets the more comfortable I feel with letting it hang.
Just Gean Bean! Hey love! I would encourage you to do a deep cleanse on your locs now while they are still in the baby stage to remove that buildup. Glad you are catching it now 😊
Hello! New subscriber in the process of growing my hair so I can loc it and I'm enjoying watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your loc journey and tips!🙏🏾
I love your hair. I'm a Sisterlock wearer and even though mine are super cultivated, I am happiest when it's time for a retightening because I enjoy fullness. Even still there are days when I would love to have your size locks.
If you wash your hair thoroughly (using a clarifying shampoo)you’ll be able to minimize buildup.. Putting product on the shaft of your lacks is where you’ll run into trouble with build up…
Hey Sistah Monique, welcome to da family of kings & Queens Locked’ up! Plz, be patient! Do not, I repeat do not compare your Locs to anyone else’s. Your crown will be Your own! Enjoy da journey! 😊
Thanks for your advice! I feel you on the cheese! I don't eat meat either but cheese is my vice!!!! I've been locked for four days now and I can't wait to be fully locked! New subbie !
