I restarted my locs twice from ages 19 to 29. Dealing with comments from friends and family and pregnancy hormones. The final time I was 3 kids in a realized that it was my hair, and I loved how locs made me feel more confident with myself. Once I stopped caring and owned my locs. It made me better in other areas of my life. 10 years later, I am just enjoying life and my loc journey. 😊
I’m 3 months in and it’s hard getting over how I feel ab my forehead and missing big hair to hide it but I wanna push through the way I did when I went natural 10 yrs ago and accept my beauty
That’s so dope to hear! Starting a new journey can be exhilarating. Congratulations on tying the knot on Friday! I’m so proud of you. Wishing you all the best on your new path ahead.❤️❤️❤️
My loc journey is not related to vanity, or spirituality. My loc journey is totally related to easier to manage natural hair. I went natural for 10 years before I loc'd my hair. I got tired of all the work it took to maintain my natural hair and was convinced by a nephew to just loc it up.
I made the decision to lock my hair earlier this year and I’ve always preferred thick locs (especially when I was considering what I want for myself because I like my hair to have volume), and let me tell you the least supportive people have been my family members. My mom especially because she’s a Caribbean person and we have no one with locs in our family. I’ve already been told multiple times that people don’t like them, that they look “scary”, that they’re shaped weird, that I looked better with loose hair. But me and my locs are thriving, they’ve grown and developed so much in such a short period of time and I’m so proud of them. I was considering doing Marley braids because I have a big move coming up and I wanted some more convenience since my locs are at a sort of mid-length now (they’re shoulder length, from ear length when I started) but honestly they’re sitting really nicely and maybe I’m just finally starting to have good hair days because they’ve really been having a blast up there doing what they want up till the past two-ish weeks (I’m 5 months in). I went into this just wanting to live a better lifestyle and center myself in my own life so I can find my authentic self, and I wasn’t prepared for how spiritual this journey has been. I watched a lot of videos before I decided to loc and almost all of them said that locking is a spiritual journey and a journey to self-love and acceptance, I really should’ve listened to them because when I tell you I’ve never been so face to face with my trauma and finally having the strength to jump some serious hurdles. Whatever I decide to do, I’m really glad I stumbled across this video because the loc community has been so supportive and I’ve honestly never felt more *me*. My locs really are an extension of myself, and I was never a person who felt attached to their hair. Here’s to 5 months and many more 💕
It took me until my late 40's. I know now many are taking them out. I have had every hairstyle known to man. I have even had an afro for a while, but even that was a chore for me. I love my locs. I love who I am still becoming. I really dont care what people think or how they look at me anymore. My hair is created for this style. We are not perfect, and we do not need to compare. I love this message. I'm subscribing! Thank you.
You can loc the hair and then wear a wig or some other style over it as they grow and as you get reties. Or just keep growing you hair until your ready. Or try natural braids or twist to get comfortable with the shrinkage
I have had locs for 4 years, I thought about combing them out because I missed my loose natural hair that I wore for 10 years. Then I remembered how much work it was and why I got locs in the 1st place. I'm so glad that I found your channel.
I've had my locs for 3 years now. I've thought about combing them out a lot in the beginning but I kept telling myself its gonna pay off, how it is now is temporary and you're manifesting beautiful locs. Three years later i LOVE my locs and they're a little over bra strap length now. I love it here.
This video was very encouraging. I have my starter loc appt in a week Lord Willing. My decision was truly based off the fact that I no longer want to wear anybody else’s hair & the convenience of locs.
I'm on my starter locs..i remember trying to get locs like 3/4 yrs ago and telling my brother i wanted to loc my hair..he really discouraged me, telling me it was expensive and all that.. this year, i really made up my mind to loc my hair.. and i just started with twists.. Im not listening to anybody this time again and ive closed my ears.. moreover im not easily influenced.. all people do is talk.. their talk won't do anything..has no gravity..do you!
Girl!!You are 100% correct…all they do is TALK! 🗣️ It's truly inspiring to witness your journey toward embracing your starter locs, especially after overcoming past discouragements. Your resilience and determination to follow your heart despite other people’s opinions speak volumes about your inner strength. Keep shining beautiful and thank u for watching & commenting!!🫶🏾
I’m researching natural hairstyles for writing purposes, and I really appreciate this video, because it made me think about how hair isn’t just about looks, but also comments from others, and how someone thinks about themself and how it relates to their hair. Thank you and I love your hair!
Appreciate the love beautiful! Glad the video gave you some insight-hair is definitely about more than just looks. Good luck with your research, and thank u for the compliment! ❤️
So much facts. Why I'm on my 3rd set now. I was natural for a decade but I'm the only one locd in my family and at my job and friends and family kept telling me they don't like locs and I shud just straighten it. 😮. Anyways. 1.5yrs in and u can't tell me nothing lol.
I’m so sorry to hear that the people close to you are hating on your locs, 😔I’m sure they’re beautiful and I bet you they will be singing a different tune when your locs get SUPER long ! It always happens like that…I’m so proud of you though, you are standing your ground because you love every part of yourself! Yaaaas queen! 👑
I started a month ago and this video was definitely needed! Yah boy is going straight through it. Literally the only one at work and I feel like an alien but I'm here for the long run. Great content, Subscribed and liked!
Hang in there friend, you’ll get through the “rough” phase soon! And btw, I’m so proud of you for taking the leap and Locing your hair, you’re gonna love it here, I promise! 😉
Thank you for posting this video. :) TLDR: I had locs when I was 8. My dads gf at the time cut my hair while I was asleep because she said it looks like spiders. Needless to say I had some hair trauma for 3 years. I hated having perms, braids and extensions in the form of braids or twists. My hair is super thick and dense so it was bothersome. I am 22 now and have been natural for 11 years. Did a big chop and now my hair is long again. I really want to get locs again. I have 4C and love my natural hair. I just need the right loc-tition in my area. I don’t just want anyone to loc my hair. Plus I’m in tech/corporate and university but I already stand out. I just want to wear my hair and not have to get extensions.
I’m on my 3rd set of locs. It was never a problem that caused me to cut them off. It was never a plan to have them forever, even now. I’ve had natural hair for 25 years. I’m committed to natural hair sometimes I want locs and other times I want it loose or shaved. I can’t imagine keeping the same style my entire life.
I love this content! Almost 6 years in and can say honestly my locs are my best hair decision 🤎Thanks for giving the reality of locs, do it for you and no one else period✨
Thank you K! Your locs are Gorgeous!!! I wish more women knew what we knew…locs can be the best hair decision one can ever make! Thank you for watching! 🫶🏾
Thank you Goddess my wife and son have had their locs for 4 years now, and they are beautiful. You touched every subject I had in my head. I have worn all the hair styles known to women, and now all the chemicals in hair and things have changed my mind. I have course hair, very nappy. I'm ready 💪 u sealed my research journey.
Thanks for posting this, Queen 👑 My body asked me if I wanted locs. I said " yes ". . . I love all of the tips you gave 💕 I feel loved and supported. . . My Dad, brother, sister and 1st cousins all have locs 😊
Wow Ana, you are so blessed to have such a strong loc support system already built into your life! And I LOVE the way you asked your body if it wanted locs. That means you’re 100% in tune with yourself. You’re gonna go far in life beautiful! Blessings ❤️❤️❤️❤️
i get my first starter locs this saturday, and im ready to embrace this Journey , thanks for this video, u got a new suscriber. i will start doing videos of my journey
I do like locs Because I don't like chemicals in my hair, and I'm going to get locs on my birthday, and that's September first, And that's going to be my special day, and thank you for the information
Love this video. So many points where i felt appreciative of ur advice, as I’ve already heard negative comments and it’s been 1 week 🙄 Also ur so pretty 😭
Glad it was helpful! And sis, don’t let ANYONE bring you down! Your locs are beautiful and unique to you. Keep shining and don’t let ANYONE dull your light. ✨
I’ve had locs 3 times from the ages of 13 to 21. I cut them because I had a high top fade and I wanted a full head of loc. I just restarted but this time I’m ready to keep them long term
Most High Christ bless sister. It's family that discouraged me and friends. I want locs for spiritual reasons. I come from a family that does too much to look like dem folks.
I have grown locs 4 times ... I was also loc'd for 6 years at some point BUT i have hair ... like I genuinely love the fact that i have hair and i can regrow any time. I don't think we should have to wronged for starting over and over 😂 I come from a family and country (eSwatini) where locs are a thing so that is also a factor. There's a loc'tition every other corner Anyways. It's a beautiful journey, i thoroughly enjoyed ALL my locs. Combing out this current set next week because i want braids 😊 Will loc again next year. Your video is good ... and lovely locs ❤ (we call them dreads)
Omg I really needed this. I’m going into my 4th month of my loc journey and my locs are budding so much and I’m not quite confident with my hair but this video really made me more confident.
Lol I was the only one locd in my family. My sister was the worse. She would frown her nose at me when she would see me. I’ve had friends tell me they didn’t like my hair. Baby I was in love with the real me and I hurt their feelings about their wigs and eyelashes lol. My husband gave me hard time because his mom didn’t like them. She said locs was a lazy woman hair duo and only gay women had locs of course he got a eat full . I even stop breaking bread with my beauty supply person about these locs. Needless to say I have changed family and friends and some have joined the loc community because of me lol hello.
You know what Sonia…I LIKE YOU!!! I love women who are in loves with their selves.You are self confident and STRONG, along with being beautiful( inside and out.) I got chills reading your comment. On behalf of the loc community, I want to say THANK YOU for standing on business and never caving into the expectations of others! 🫶🏾
Locs can be a straight STRUGGLE sometimes.I feel you. It can be frustrating when you're on your fourth set of locs and still not feeling quite confident in them. But don't give up just yet, sis! Remember, every journey is unique and it takes time to truly love and appreciate your locs. P.s Look out for my next upload, it’s about woman combing their locs out at a alarming rate, I think you will enjoy it!
Lol I’m glad the algorithm came through! Even though you gave me the side eye at first, I’m happy to see you stuck around to see what I was REALLY talking about. And I’m please to have made some valid points that that got though to you…now go loc up that hair and be the beauty God intended you to be! ❤️
For me the hard part is getting used to the frizziness between reties. My hair when I do twist or braids get frizzy. So that’s my biggest eh. I like my hair super neat. My other thing is that I want really small locs. But I don’t love the look of super small boxes. So I’m just stuck
I’m a month in and feel ugly because of the shrinkage. I don’t have the face for short hair. 😭 however with a baby, taking hair of my natural hair, including dying, was too much and also it always stayed the same length and with locs im hoping to gain length over time. Let’s see if I’ll stick to them.
Embracing your journey with locs is a beautiful decision, especially during this time with a new baby. Your courage to explore and grow with your hair is really inspiring! Keep nurturing yourself and your locs, and I’m sure you find beauty and confidence in every stage of your journey! 🫶🏾😘
Yes, definitely! you can use a pair of small scissors or a thin crochet hook to gently loosen and separate the loc. Just be sure to work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging your hair or causing any unnecessary breakage. Additionally, you can try using your fingers to separate the loc if it's not too tightly matted together. Again, patience is key! ❤️
@@LocinwithCByour hair is so beautiful. I think I’m ready to embark on this journey. I’ve been contemplating it for a couple years now and seems like the perfect time 💕
I like some other ppls locs if they're well-kept but I tried twice and combed them out each time. I prefer my natural loose curls. My locs made me look too masculine in the face. There's no way I'm ever going to feel comfortable looking like a man in the face so that's just that. Still comfortable in my own skin, just didn't personally like the look on myself. (This was MY personal experience I'm not saying other women look masculine with them).
I totally get this. I got my starter locs a few days ago and I’m really insecure about my short hair because it makes me look like a boy. I’m trying to love and embrace but it’s hard when you wanna look pretty in your own skin as well
@@SkyeID I was speaking about myself in regards to MY journey when I tried it. No need to be hostile if you’re happy with your journey. Go outside and breathe - wasn’t directed towards you personally.
The hardest part of my locs is seeing pics of me with my curls before… I wish I could have both 😭😂
you can! get microlocs
I really want them I’ve been having curly hair since I was born I wanna loc in with myself ❤
Do you think locs make you look older?
@@victoryho-sangtvsuch a good question! I am considering it and that is a question I asked myself is “will it age me”
@@victoryho-sangtvI don’t think it does. I think it does the opposite. My opinion though
I restarted my locs twice from ages 19 to 29. Dealing with comments from friends and family and pregnancy hormones. The final time I was 3 kids in a realized that it was my hair, and I loved how locs made me feel more confident with myself. Once I stopped caring and owned my locs.

Maybe put castor oil to get thick edges
Same!!! I’m struggling with it so bad but I truly do want to continue this loc journey. Do u have an update on where ur at now in your journey?
Same 😮
I started my journey two days ago and I’m never going back. I literally tied the knot Friday 😂❤❤❤❤❤
That’s so dope to hear! Starting a new journey can be exhilarating. Congratulations on tying the knot on Friday! I’m so proud of you. Wishing you all the best on your new path ahead.❤️❤️❤️
@@LocinwithCB 🥰 thank you so much
How’s it going?
I talk about this all the time. The loc journey has nothing to do with vanity and this is where people mess up. It's spiritual

It’s not spiritual for me at all. I literally wanted a low maintenance hair style that flourishes.

just started my journey yesterday 😊😊😊😊
Yeees!!! You’re gonna love it here…I promise!
Lol I'm not on the journey but after my pregnancy 9 months ago I think my hair locking anyway 😂 so I've come to terms this is what I want
Locs dreadlocks i love em all
Me too twin!! 💕💕❤️
For me the hard part is getting used to the frizziness between reties. My hair when I do twist or braids get frizzy. So that’s my biggest eh. I like my hair super neat. My other thing is that I want really small locs. But I don’t love the look of super small boxes. So I’m just stuck
There are other parting styles than square/box! Maybe one of those styles will fit you better?
I’m a month in and feel ugly because of the shrinkage. I don’t have the face for short hair. 😭 however with a baby, taking hair of my natural hair, including dying, was too much and also it always stayed the same length and with locs im hoping to gain length over time. Let’s see if I’ll stick to them.
Embracing your journey with locs is a beautiful decision, especially during this time with a new baby. Your courage to explore and grow with your hair is really inspiring! Keep nurturing yourself and your locs, and I’m sure you find beauty and confidence in every stage of your journey! 🫶🏾😘
Thanks 💗🌸
You're welcome 😊
I want locs, but im indecisive. Also, watching tons of videos and looking at pics is confusing. I need help, lol
Really like your hairstyle. How did you achieve that bun, I want it! Lol
Thank you sm! Imma do a short step by step tutorial on this hairstyle…stay tuned!
👍 Thank you 👑
I work in a salon and I'm the only one who has locs🙄go figure
Two years in, started two strand twist, I would like to separate some locs and make them smaller, any suggestions please thanks
Yes, definitely! you can use a pair of small scissors or a thin crochet hook to gently loosen and separate the loc. Just be sure to work slowly and carefully to avoid damaging your hair or causing any unnecessary breakage. Additionally, you can try using your fingers to separate the loc if it's not too tightly matted together. Again, patience is key! ❤️
🤩
🤩 back at cha!
Did you start your own locs?
Nope, went to a shop where they started my 80 comb coils! ☺️
@@LocinwithCByour hair is so beautiful. I think I’m ready to embark on this journey. I’ve been contemplating it for a couple years now and seems like the perfect time 💕
Wonderful advice & content 🤍🤍🤍.
Thank you so much! And Thank you for commenting and watching 🫶🏾 I truly appreciate it
I like some other ppls locs if they're well-kept but I tried twice and combed them out each time. I prefer my natural loose curls. My locs made me look too masculine in the face. There's no way I'm ever going to feel comfortable looking like a man in the face so that's just that. Still comfortable in my own skin, just didn't personally like the look on myself. (This was MY personal experience I'm not saying other women look masculine with them).
I totally get this. I got my starter locs a few days ago and I’m really insecure about my short hair because it makes me look like a boy. I’m trying to love and embrace but it’s hard when you wanna look pretty in your own skin as well
I don't give a fjck what society thinks is masculine or feminine. I just look however I want, and stand confidently.
@@2lav1sh a boy and a girl can look any type-a way. You are pretty, no matter how long or short your hair is.
@@SkyeID I was speaking about myself in regards to MY journey when I tried it. No need to be hostile if you’re happy with your journey. Go outside and breathe - wasn’t directed towards you personally.
@@SkyeID keyword: “made ME look masculine” not sure why that riled you up but I’m too old to get hostile over a hair convo so I’ll exit 😂🤷🏽♀️
