Started my Loc journey back in December after transitioning from braids & been braiding my hair for 5 years. Trust me it’s worth it 👏🏾 also been watching for content all through out ✊🏾
JLav gonna cause all of us natural hair creators go extinct 😂 but do your thing homie. Completely understand where you coming from💯 might see me with yall in a year or 2
I went through the same thing recently and started letting my hair lock in June. I was rocking 2strand forever and my barber was saying loc up loc up. I finally say f it, the less maintenance and ease of care was the big one for me. The versatile styles etc. you were a big part of my hair growth on the first place and now the loc journey too, definitely coping some product when they drop.
Bro I had dreads for 5 years and your videos encouraged me to comb them out a few weeks ago lol I’ll be using your old videos during my natural hair journey
Good for you man. I been watching you give us advice for over a year, which helped me a lot when I restarted my hair journey 7 months ago. Thank you KB. Stay up and I’m excited to see whats next.
I just loc’d my hair up, I grew my hair out and was getting it braided for the past year, I knew I was gonna loc up, but I didn’t wanna go thru the short phase. I loved my braids and especially having my hair out after a good wash.. I use to say imma wait until my 3rd,4th, or 5th year, but I was ready sooner than I thought. Takes commitment and patience with locs. A whole lifestyle 😊 Getting first retwist in 5 days, good luck everyone 🔒🆙
Bruh, I started growing my hair in December 2022 because of you and your journey. Im regrowing my hair since cutting it in 2013. Started with twists in April 2023 for 4 months and now I'vehad braids since August. I deep condition once a month faithfully and oil once a week. We lost another a good one to the Loc-Gang but thanxx for the hair tips bro
A lot of people often get lochs and complain about having an "ugly phase" and then undo the lochs. Don't put too much thought into that or outright ignore those people. You'll be fine.
cant lie started watching you when i was about 14 when i started growing my hair during quarantine now im 16 and my hair has grown so much mainly thanks to your tips,lol ngl man big thanks cus at the time when i was 14 i couldnt trust the process just wanted my hair to grow as fast as possible and now were here and my hair long ash man thanks ngl, cant believe u switching over to the other side man.
This is sooooo exciting. I had been watching you for awhile. 7 months ago I decided to loc so I felt like we were on different journeys so I wasn't watching as much...... BUUUT NOW!!!! OMG!!! I'm so excited for you. I promise you are going to love them. ❤ 😍
Best decision you can make with your hair. I use to have braids and followed your channel, now I’m 11 months locked. If you deep condition your hair make sure a loctician does it. They use deep condition products specifically for locs. If you use normal deep condition products your hair will more than likely struggle locking or won’t lock up like that.
I had a feeling you might be getting loc when I recently saw your released loc product. I had my locks for 5 years before I cut them a while back. My hair was the longest it’s ever grown and like you, I mastered them. Had e v e r y hairstyle and never paid a loctician because my mom and girl I was with all those years did my hair and ALWAYS kept my hair clean as an athlete. Nobody had better locks than me. I do have to say, unless you are deeply committed, you too will get bored of them eventually unless you can maintain your “this is my style” about them. Much love.
Sup King Bril, I support you on locking your hair, I've had locks before and they're dope. My hair is currently 2 years length & I been following you bro 👑🔥
@@KingBril the hair is are antennas if you know TV I’ve never seen a TV get good reception with bent and broken and twist antennas on top of that if you look at old pictures of Egyptians the hair was in braids before it got started to get matted into locs and as we both know if you keep braids in to long it will start to loc up Egyptians was above this hair style and lived a more royal life this hair style wouldn’t even be acceptable in that timeline think about it a king wouldn’t even be able to put hes crown on correctly that’s way braids was more ideal because it was able to lay down well to be able to put the crown on the hair style has fooled every one to think this is was the way to wear are hair it it isn’t and if you are a plant or a tree you know no tree would survive with that much manipulation of breaking and twisting that’s why over time as the hair row the hair would start to try to push all the bad hair to the side making room for new growth because the hair has died on top of the the Egyptians never had the tool to be able to form locs and do it nicely so it started with braids then when they passed away it naturally got matted and loc up over time
I started watching you years ago when i had the curly fro and doing the shake method lol. I loc’d up in 2020 and still watch ya from time to time! Definitely gonna be tuning in to see what ideas you bring to your locs bro
I'm literally so happy and coming from a man to man it sounds bad but I've followed you channel for a long time and I've been of yt for a bit and i legit started locs 3 weeks ago hopped on yt seen this video and idk it’s just like your always here with help whenever i need it
I'm on that same boat with u bro.. I feel like dreads or locs is way simpler than natural hair cause u don't have to worry about taken down ur hair after every style u get.. dreads u simply just wash and get retwist but the downside is if u have longer dreads them retwist can take up to hours and might be a lil bit expensive but it will be worth it
It’ll be worth it. F what everybody else saying about “losing another one”. I cut mine due to being in a MLM and my up line kept bugging me saying I’d come across more trustworthy. My wife about to put mine back in tomorrow. This my third time having them.
Lets go!! I been waitn on this day, no matter how you start i highly recommend getting your roots interlocked so your parts stay. Anddddd retwist every 2 months minimum 1 time a month too much trust me👑
@@clementinelives from da look of your picture yo shi ain’t long enough no way 😭🤷🏾♂️ you got a few inches IF that talking bout “NEVER” I hope not that don’t look good 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@clementinelives & then they look like starter locs 🤣🤣 but I can see why the “ugly phase” wouldn’t look good on you it already don’t with a hat on I’m lmfao 😭😭😭😭😭
Trust me bro all you gotta do is trust the process I started mines back in April and now they lookin pretty good u gonna get motion bro I know it takes time but just endurance the starter and ugly stages 👍🏾
Please I’ve a question the back of my hair isn’t growing I’ve been growing natural hair for a year now and still can’t do a full broad bc the middle part is still not full at the back what do I do
Started my locs in June been 3 months already I love watching loc content because it gives me inspiration on styles and how other people care for their loc journey and how I can approach mine can’t wait for your content to help as well 🤍 I recommend watching TPlock he cut his locs but he has so many videos on starter loc phases and what he did/shouldn’t have done during his loc journey but very dope guy as another RU-vidr reference.
@@KingBril I started interlocking first but they were too thick so I got them taken down and twisted up. After about 6 months, your hair should lock up though and it'll take off once they lock
At the very least dilute the heeeelllll out of the conditioner! Starter locs can hold buildup deep in your locs and you don’t want that bc it can look gunky and smell down the road. Some people incorporate more conditioner after a year+ (aka it’s easier to use it straight out the jar at that time) bc your locs have formed and will hold less deep in the loc. But that first year or two is crucial and you def wanna at least make the conditioner watery. I use the redken “ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE LIGHTWEIGHT LIQUID CONDITIONER” bc it’s so light but it fortifies the hair beautifully! It’s a rinse out conditioner, not a deep conditioner, but it’s effectively the same for my locs without leaving any kind of buildup. You can feel an immediate difference in your hair even though it’s so light!
im growing my hair back bril my mum made me cut it so im doing my 2 years journey again ill be at your lengh soon when i did have my hair i was longer.
J lav kinda made me look at locks different I don’t think I’m at that stage where I want locks I said It wasn’t my lane either but I’m only 11 months into my hair growth journey and I have braids now so who knows In the future
I started with two strands mine aren’t thick. I have about 70 locs want 100. It will look the same. Doesn’t matter if it’s braids , coils , or two strand. I wash my hair the entire time. Didn’t wait until it locked in a year in. Washing made my hair tangle faster. Took close to eight months. For the front to lock because it’s wavy and straight
Locs can be combed out with lots of time and conditioner, and no u don’t lose a lot of hair locs get thicker by holding onto hair u would have already shedded as long as you take your time and comb it out right you’ll be fine (I’ve done it 2 times already) and my hairs still mid chest level with a high top in locs)
Hi King Bril quick question, would you recommend using braid sprays while hair is in a protective style or is oiling your scalp enough ? Also how to you keep your hair moisturized in a protective style ?
Idk man I cut my 3 year locs last year to start my braids journey, when they started getting long I started getting tired of them. I feel like braids just has the best styles and u can rock both the taper afro some days and braids the next day. Oh yea how can I forget, a huge reason I cut em cus I was looking like the next man😂😂I’m telling you everyone has dreads nowadays, you better do something different with it if you get em. And Dreads does not make u “more spiritual”. When you repent and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior you get filled by the Holy Spirit, let the Holy Spirit lead you.
lol I said the same thing I’ve tried them 3 times combed them out . I went right back to braids. I’ve had all the braid styles I wanted. Been having long hair over 17 years. May loc it one more time before cutting it.
I was literally about to unsubscribe bc I got Locs now so no real need to see his videos anymore but then I see this and now I’m interested in how he’ll handle the loc journey.
