Here’s a summary for people who have adhd: 1. Parting size determines loc size 2. Loc buildup can come from more than just products but also the environment 3. Scalp issues 4. You loc maintenance schedule shoul be up to you 5. Stiff locks can be the result of many things 6. Soft hair can lock 7. Loc breakage is real and is caused by so many things 8. Starter loc shrinkage is real 9. Water is your friend 10.Freeform locs can turn into manicured locs
Your mom's locs actually inspired me to start mine. I was told that my hair wouldn't loc because of how fine and soft my hair is, but I'm three months in, and my starter locs are coming along nicely.
I remember we started our loc journey at the same time and you had encouraged me to remove my loc extensions and start with my real hair. I did it, but i ended up taking my starter locs out and went back to my fro because i was not mentally ready 😭 and i wish i would have stayed the course with you because your hair has FLOURISHED sis! BUT nevertheless i have restarted 2 weeks ago w/ two strand twists. And ain't no going back! I am so excited and I am in it, and seeing how far you have come has chastised me. Love your channel sis!🙌🏾
Hey beautiful queen!!!! Awww I’m so glad to hear you restarted. You’ve got this and I’m here with you every step of the way 💖🙏🏾 you’re gonna LOVE the outcome. Keep me posted please. Sending you all the positive vibes in the world. Thanks so much for being here!!!! 🥳
Very informative video. The rules I go by for my locs are quite simple. PATIENCE, water both for the outside and the inside, clean and separated locs, not to much retwisting and keeping your locs covered. Enjoying our loc journey and not making it to difficult with consistency will make our locs flourish. Until your next video.
Just started my two strand twist starter locs almost one month in…all I can say is IM TRUSTING THE PROCESS! Shrinkage is REAL and my locs are doing their own thing. I use coconut oil with purified water to hydrate, again I’m TRUSTING THE PROCESS ♥️
It’s so great to hear that you’re trusting the process! That was my approach when I started a year and a half ago and I could not be happier with the results. It’s all about sticking with the journey no matter how you feel about the various stages. It’s well worth it and it’ll definitely the pay off!!!!
I’m 11 months loc’d and I love my hair so much!!! Congratulations to all of you who have chosen to start your loc journey within the last couple of days to the last few months!! Be very patient with your hair, it can take up to 4yrs before you complete the beginning stages of your loc journey!! I have exactly 100 locs. If you plan to do your own loc maintenance a good shampoo to remove buildup is Lemon Fluff Shampoo by Gabel’s. The best way to moisturize your locs is using the Loc Method which is layering oils like Jojoba, avocado and sweet almond oil. I decided to wash my hair every two weeks. I like my locs clean and neat. I go to Sekai Natural Hair Gallery in Los Angeles for retwist!!❤️
I am starting my loc journey again. My first set of 16 years but my inner spirit told me to cut them and start a new one. I knew it was the right decision because I did not feel regret when I did it. Now, I am ready. My hair wants to loc. I backcomb my first set of locs, but I prefer to start them with 2 strand twist. Your locs are gorgeous! Ginger spice!!! Thank you for this informative tutorial.
College professor wait what! You look like you’re in high school. You are absolutely stunning. You just glow. Beautiful skin, smile and personality. Thank you for allowing Gloria to answer my question.🌹. Your hair is stunning. I think I may have been too hard on myself. I’m just going with the flow of my hair and will give it a year to work out. I just decided to keep it in a style to keep it from unraveling. That has worked for me where I’m not retwisting weekly I can go two weeks. I don’t spray my roots with rose water just my locs so my roots don’t puff up and get really nappy. How I moisturize is with hair growth oils that I put to my roots and out down my locs. I don’t have build up so that’s no issue for me. My front hair line has grown in a lot using hair growth oils such as rosemary, sage and peppermint oils also Jamaican black castor oil. I keep my head covered when I sleep or lay on anything. I tie it down with a silk scarf to kill the frizz and I put a bonnet on top. I definitely keep it covered in the shower to prevent unraveling and frizziness. I used to wash and retwist every two weeks now I’m washing once a month and I may retwist once or twice a month. It really just depends on what my hair tells me. My hair has started the budding process which I find hard not to pull those little balls off 🙄. My hair is definitely growing. I went with smaller locs. My hair just locs quicker in the middle and ends rather than the roots. I do palm rolling from time to time and lock smithing which I just learned and both do work. I have learned to prevent breakage is to keep my locs moisturized and keep growth oils in my hair. I haven’t experienced any shrinkage just the unraveling at the roots. I’m going to hang in there and keep the protective styles going until it completely locs. Amazon has these special combs to scratch your head. It has like three or four long curved rake points that just scratches your scalp. It’s amazing. Thanks again gorgeous for caring so much for the loc community and always spreading sunshine. You are one gorgeous young lady Miss Professor. I’m proud of you. What is it that you teach??
Hi, Ms. Tasha!!!!! Your comment was so full of energy, light, and love. It truly means the world to me to have people like you in this community. Thank you so much for laying out your routine and everything you’ve learned so far. I know it’s going to help so many people. The loc community has my heart because of amazing women like you 💖 you all are so inspiring!!!! Also, I am a professor of political science and I teach two courses. Love my job more than I ever thought I could! Been at it for 3 years 😍 sending you all the love in the world!!!
Awesome, we’re almost close in timing. I just started my journey as well with two strand twist on 8/24/21. I’m super excited as well. So far I’m loving the process.
My babies were born 1.14.21 from 2 strand twists. I have curly hair and my hair is traveling its own course but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. To that end, PLEASE enjoy each phase of your journey. It’s amazing to see how you grow along with the process. Those days you feel like you can’t do it, know that you CAN! We’re all in this together. So, don’t hesitate to reach out if you need some encouragement.
I had some sores in my crown and I started greasing my scalp with triple antibiotic ointment and it totally healed my scalp and now my crown is growing. I found out that the infection in my scalp was bacterial and that ointment is for bacterial infections so I tried it and it healed my scalp. I am so excited about that. I am about 2.5 years locd now and my hair is growing fast and thickening up nicely. I am trusting the process and loving it.
Beautiful!!! I’m so happy you were able to find relief with ointment. I was the same way because of my eczema. Medicated ointment was the only thing that could calm my scalp. So much relief 🥲 thanks for being here and sharing your story
Yes I'm getting started and yes soft hair does lock I'm so excited about my locks I can't wait until they grow I'm over half of a hundred wished I done this a long time ago the best thing that has happened to my hair I feel so free thanks for your video to help me on my journey be blessed looking forward to the next one
If you have breakage due to small locs, pay attention to the hair as it grows and combine the locs when necessary. You can use a rubber band/ interlocking method to combine
Just started my loc journey 2 days ago with two strand twist, been a loose natural for 7 years, and I’m super excited!!! My only issue is my hair bending when I sleep with my bonnet on😒
Your energy is EVERYTHING! your commentary and makes me feel more comfortable and confident in this beautiful process! I am 8 months in and my frizz and shrinkage is REAL especially with me working out more but nonetheless thank you for this reassurance ❤️
Hello there, love your locs. I’m almost 2 years in my loc journey and I always welcome useful info that will guide me unto the right path of having healthy locs.
I always miss your notifications. Not sure why. I enjoy your video's. I'm 15 months loc'd and I so love my hair. It has brought back some confidence as well. I have followed your maintenance routine and my hair is flourishing.
Your locs look amazing, a living crown that frames your face perfectly. I love my locs, the fall is everything . I feel so much more wholesome and unapologetically me. I have learnt how to nourish my locs. At first I was over the top with oils and water, but I've learnt better now.
Awww, wow! Your comment is so beautiful. Thank you so much for uplifting my spirit in such a refreshing way! I completely agree with you. I’ve never felt more like myself. EVER. Thanks for sharing your light with me 😊🙏🏾💖🥳💕
It's part of the process, it'll be frizzy before it starts to loc up and appear like older locs. I'm six months in, and am loving the frizz. But, if it bothers you try sleeping with a durag/bonnet or rolling the locs in between your hands
You did a great job retwisting your hair. Are you just retwisting the roots at this stage? Since you told me about the loc tool that has been a life saver for my hair. It doesn’t unravel anymore since using the tool and my locs look like dreds now. I am understanding now that I will have to retwist the roots every two weeks. I’m trying to get them to last a month. Then I realize that moisturize and putting oils in my hair loosens the locs at the roots. I’m almost a year in my journey come June. I notice how beautiful your locs are. Yours don’t seem to have frizz. I am still battling the frizz almost a year in. For spiritual reasons I keep my hair covered in public so that’s a great plus for me. My hair is growing slowly but it’s growing so I’m happy with that. My edges have really grown in where I can make baby locs. Overall I am happy with my locs and I plan to stay loc’ed for life. College professor shocks me. You look like you’re 20. What do you teach? You are just so pretty and your smile is so contagious and beautiful. I find myself smiling when I look at your videos. Congrats on all your subscribers. You come across very genuine and friendly that’s why people love you. I look forward to anything you have to say. Are you loving your new home? Always good to see you and text talk with you. Stay blessed.🌹🌹
Hey sister girl hey. I too am back on campus I work at University in DC. We back in our office 2-3 days a week. I love your hair color I recently had my loc techian to color my locs. I am in 1 1/2 year and I’m so loving my hair. Do stay safe and healthy I continue to pray for you and your family. Love you hair jewelry I usually wear a piece here and there. Take care and keep sharing I love it. 👍🏿🙏🏾💕
Hello beautiful!!!! Thank you for all of the work you do at your university. I’m so glad to hear that you’re involved in campus life. I hope you’re staying safe and I pray everyone in DC is doing well 😍😊🙏🏾❤️ sending you lots of love!!!!
Great insights Queen. I must say you are beautiful and have great energy. I had my set of locs for 13 years until I started experiencing frequent breakage. My mistake during that journey was having too many people in my hair as far as Locticians. I cut mine in 2018 to experience freeforming and traditional locs. I recently cut my locs again in July to basically start over. I made the mistake I having the wrong person in my hair. I’m back at it because I love locs and plan to grow my hair out through the rest of my life. I’m new to your channel look forward to checking out your other videos.
Thank you so much for being here and sharing your story with me and those in the community. It’s an honor to have you join us! I am fascinated by your experiences and the lessons that you have learned. Your comment will help me remember to keep my journey as simple as possible. Less is more for me. Sending you lots of love! Thanks again for being here 💖
I was told I can't wash my starter locs for 3 to 4 months 😮 lol😅 I kbew right then to run away 😂 I'll be 1 month on May 12 th n I wash my locs yesterday it went very good
Awww, thanks Dae!!!!! 😍😍😍 I definitely appreciate the love ❤️especially coming from you sis…your vids helped me out SO MUCH in the beginning of my journey. #ForeverGrateful 😘
Hello love your video, just started my locs two months ago, do I am still learning to embrace my locs. I have a Loctician but would love to shampoo my hair. Should I wear a stocking cap to shampoo? Thank you.
Your also correct with learning our different maintenance times. It's not been 4 weeks yes as suggested by the stylist,but I see for me and my daughter, that 4 week thang ain't gonna get it 🙃🤭,so when we both go back next week, I'm gonna let her know our maintenance will be every 3 weeks and see how that works out 🤗. Yes me and my daughter started our loc journey together also , with the 2strand twist 8/14/21
You have literally touched on every concern I’ve had about choosing this journey . I also have eczema and did not want to get them because I thought my scalp would be problematic and my hair wouldn’t grow because of the irritation and lawd ….
You and your locs look amazing Alexis 😍😍 WOOOW. I'm restarting my journey. I unraveled my locs but will be starting soon... I just wasn't happy with my parts and size. That loc color is 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾. Love always, Kauna. 🇳🇦
Hello beautiful!!!! Thanks for the love and incredible energy (as always!!!) 💖💖💖 i’m glad to hear that you are restarting to get your desired outcome. It will definitely be worth it 🥳 keep me posted! Stay safe and safe, Kauna!!!
Great tips! You saved me way back when when you mentioned using Hydrocortizone ointment for itch. Solved the problem for me! Lovely to see you, and best wishes for an enjoyable and safe school year, Professor. 💖
Hey, Erika!!! Awww, thanks for being here and always sending so much light my way. It really means more than you know! Sending you hugs and tons of well wishes 😊💖🥳💕
Really dear I thought you were only eighteen. I know you still get carded, I was carded up until I reached 35 now I'm 58 and fabulous 😊. I started my Locs 4/19/2021 I'm a newbie.
So I’ve watched almost all of your videos and I love your face!!! Lol! Seriously, I adore you and your videos are so encouraging! Your family is precious and I love you all! I just started my 3rd and final loc journey with comb coils. My hair is super short, so that’s what worked best for me. I am such a two strand twist lover, though! I am a 4C as well. So it’s good to have a hair twin in social media world. ALSO…I am a Gemini as well! May 26th!! Woo hoo!! I love your hair color and all your hair are tips!! You’re a doll!! Keep all the love and tips coming!!❤️❤️❤️
Hey Gem!!!!! May 26th?! 😍🥳👏🏾💗 amazing. Awww thank you so much for being here and sending ALL THE LOVE my way!!! You’re a gift to me and everyone in this community because it’s impossible to read your comment and not instantly feel an outpouring of encouragement. Sending you lots of love and tons of hugs!!! 💖
I find that when my hair starts to grow out, I have a lot of shorter hair strands that come away from the root of the locs. I normally just crochet them back in place. What’s yours thought on that?
I just started my starter locs on 10-29-21 and I’m loving it. Honestly I had quite a bit of hair because I was loose natural for abt 6 years so I started at a pretty comfortable length and yea I’ve never felt more confident! I can’t wait till they get thicker and actually loc up. But I also have a question, can I just use regular water to mist my hair or should it absolutely be purified?
Congratulations on your new journey! I’m so excited for you. The water does not have to be purified, but I’ve always heard people say tapwater dries out your hair even more. So you have to be careful! Sending you lots of love ❤️
This may be too late to be useful. I stoped using tap water and use distilled water or rose water. Rose water every day left a dull look to my hair so I alternate between distilled water and rose water. My regimen allows me to skip applying oil every day but I do not skip applying oil 2 days in a row. I’m 4 days shy of being 2 months loc’d so I’m no expert. I have noticed what has worked for me. I subscribed to this channel my first week as a loc’d newbie and I have gained a lot of confidence here. Thanks Alexis.
Thank you for this. I started my journey 8/24/21 as two strand twist. I counted I believe to be 105. It took me three days to finish but I’m super excited to explore this journey. So far I am loving the process. I posted a video of my journey so far. Thank you again for this video🤗
Hey beautiful!!! Thanks so much for being here and leaving some love. Congratulations on your new journey. You are such a brave soul to have started your journey by yourself! I admire people like you. Welcome to the family 😍🥳💕🎊💖
@@AlexisHarris Oh trust me I had my moments in the beginning lol but once I reached the back of my head I grew a little more hope🤣 this is my 2nd attempt to starting and this time I feel so much better because I actually took my time. Thank you so much for your feedback. Your video gives me life and hope❤️
How many do you have like have you ever counted soooo I’m asking because I’m actually ordering some just trying to see if I have enough and I like your and the amount you have
Hi Alexis it's Karen again. Can you tell me which parting method you used. I like the way your hair falls and frames your face. You are so encouraging! My loc journey starts Dec. 3 2021. Can't wait....
The back of my head is kind of linty and I’m a bit sad about it. I’ve been maintaining themselves and they’re cute but the lint is a problem. My duvet be getting me
Hello gorgeous!!! Thanks so much for the love ❤️ I definitely understand the lint problem because my little brother has the same thing. Have you tried a silk bonnet? Or silk pillow cases?
I really liked your video. Your hair is gorgeous and so are you. I am 4 weeks in and I feel like mine have strands outside the loc and my hair looks pretty frizzy. I’ve tried crocheting the hair in rolling back, but the hair comes back out. I started with coils perhaps I should have begun with 2 strand twists. Love your hair. Would you mind sharing your color? I am in education also. Special Ed. Love what I do. Your students must love your positive uplifting presence. Would love more info on your products and routine. Thank you so much!💖
Here’s a summary for people who have adhd:
1. Parting size determines loc size
2. Loc buildup can come from more than just products but also the environment
3. Scalp issues
4. You loc maintenance schedule shoul be up to you
5. Stiff locks can be the result of many things
6. Soft hair can lock
7. Loc breakage is real and is caused by so many things
8. Starter loc shrinkage is real
9. Water is your friend
10.Freeform locs can turn into manicured locs
Thank you 🫶🏾💕
thank you 🙏
😂 thank you
Yooo I fuckin love u my nigga 😂😂😂😂
I think I love you lol thanks for this
Lost hair from chemo therapy. Started loc journey. I hope my hair grows.
God Bless you!! I hope your loc journey is a success!!
Congrats on finishing chemo 🎉 may God continue to bless you and keep you
Prayers to you! Hope your loc journey is everything & more ❤️
Your mom's locs actually inspired me to start mine. I was told that my hair wouldn't loc because of how fine and soft my hair is, but I'm three months in, and my starter locs are coming along nicely.
Awww, yay!!! That’s BEAUTIFUL!!!! Reading your comment just made my day. Congrats on your journey. Sending you love and light 💖💖💖
I was told that to I will be loc for 4 years on the 29th
Who is her Mom?

I'm loving my locs! I'm 1 year and 9 months in! Best decision my hair has ever made! I just did my retwist Thursday!
Thank you for mentioning eczema.
If you have breakage due to small locs, pay attention to the hair as it grows and combine the locs when necessary. You can use a rubber band/ interlocking method to combine
Just started my loc journey 2 days ago with two strand twist, been a loose natural for 7 years, and I’m super excited!!! My only issue is my hair bending when I sleep with my bonnet on😒
I FEEL YOU!!! 😂 I hate when my hair does that. You can “fix” the bends with a little mist of water and rubbing the loc back straight 💖
I had the same issue, I ended up purchasing a longer bonnet (the ones that they have now for box braids and such). That helped a lot, no more bends.
Finally! Same length, same method, same texture GLORY!! It's been a year an im still having difficulty finding relevant content for my type of locs
Awww yay!!!! Hey beautiful!!!! Welcome to the community 😍🥳 so happy to have you as part of the fam!!!!!
I started my locs almost 3 months ago I'm so excited to see where this journey take me
Yay!!! Congratulations 😍🎊💖 you’re in for an AMAZING experience!!!!
Your energy is EVERYTHING! your commentary and makes me feel more comfortable and confident in this beautiful process! I am 8 months in and my frizz and shrinkage is REAL especially with me working out more but nonetheless thank you for this reassurance ❤️

Love from Haiti, I love the locks🥰😍❤️🔥
I started my locs w/ interlocking method , 4 months now , can I switch to retwist . I like that look better .
how often do you spray your locs and what kind of oils do you use to keep your hair moisturized
Your locs look amazing, a living crown that frames your face perfectly. I love my locs, the fall is everything . I feel so much more wholesome and unapologetically me. I have learnt how to nourish my locs. At first I was over the top with oils and water, but I've learnt better now.
Awww, wow! Your comment is so beautiful. Thank you so much for uplifting my spirit in such a refreshing way! I completely agree with you. I’ve never felt more like myself. EVER. Thanks for sharing your light with me 😊🙏🏾💖🥳💕
Your locs along with your hair color is 🔥 girl!!!
Hey Alexis your locs are lovely , I did mine 2 years now an am loving loving it .I had my son locs done by me
Love your locs, love the retwist, love your energy girl!! My biggest problem is frizz but I'm learning how to deal with frizz.
Hey sunshine!!! ☀️ thanks for being here and leaving SO MUCH LOVE 💗 I always loved frizz because it made me feel like something was happening lol
Well yeah that's a good way to think of it lol
It's part of the process, it'll be frizzy before it starts to loc up and appear like older locs. I'm six months in, and am loving the frizz. But, if it bothers you try sleeping with a durag/bonnet or rolling the locs in between your hands
This was very helpful & I appreciate your light.
A yr locd this April..I was intimidated by my roots..but now I see them as the bridge and my antenna 📡 extention and I want to care for them more 😊
You did a great job retwisting your hair. Are you just retwisting the roots at this stage? Since you told me about the loc tool that has been a life saver for my hair. It doesn’t unravel anymore since using the tool and my locs look like dreds now. I am understanding now that I will have to retwist the roots every two weeks. I’m trying to get them to last a month. Then I realize that moisturize and putting oils in my hair loosens the locs at the roots. I’m almost a year in my journey come June. I notice how beautiful your locs are. Yours don’t seem to have frizz. I am still battling the frizz almost a year in. For spiritual reasons I keep my hair covered in public so that’s a great plus for me. My hair is growing slowly but it’s growing so I’m happy with that. My edges have really grown in where I can make baby locs. Overall I am happy with my locs and I plan to stay loc’ed for life.
College professor shocks me. You look like you’re 20. What do you teach? You are just so pretty and your smile is so contagious and beautiful. I find myself smiling when I look at your videos. Congrats on all your subscribers. You come across very genuine and friendly that’s why people love you. I look forward to anything you have to say. Are you loving your new home? Always good to see you and text talk with you. Stay blessed.🌹🌹
I am starting mine two strands twist but my hair is soft and thin, however I’m excited but nervous
You got this 🫶🏾
Hey sister girl hey. I too am back on campus I work at University in DC. We back in our office 2-3 days a week. I love your hair color I recently had my loc techian to color my locs. I am in 1 1/2 year and I’m so loving my hair. Do stay safe and healthy I continue to pray for you and your family. Love you hair jewelry I usually wear a piece here and there. Take care and keep sharing I love it. 👍🏿🙏🏾💕
Hello beautiful!!!! Thank you for all of the work you do at your university. I’m so glad to hear that you’re involved in campus life. I hope you’re staying safe and I pray everyone in DC is doing well 😍😊🙏🏾❤️ sending you lots of love!!!!
Great insights Queen. I must say you are beautiful and have great energy. I had my set of locs for 13 years until I started experiencing frequent breakage. My mistake during that journey was having too many people in my hair as far as Locticians. I cut mine in 2018 to experience freeforming and traditional locs. I recently cut my locs again in July to basically start over. I made the mistake I having the wrong person in my hair. I’m back at it because I love locs and plan to grow my hair out through the rest of my life. I’m new to your channel look forward to checking out your other videos.
Thank you so much for being here and sharing your story with me and those in the community. It’s an honor to have you join us! I am fascinated by your experiences and the lessons that you have learned. Your comment will help me remember to keep my journey as simple as possible. Less is more for me. Sending you lots of love!

your locs thickened up nicely ,
Thank you so much!!!
I love your Locs video 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Hello!! Great Video! Been loc’ing for 20yrs now.
Wow, 20 years?! That’s AMAZING 💖 thank you for being here and leaving some love!!!
Hello when you do your retwist every two weeks do you wash it first? Getting clarity because you said you go to loctician for retwist once a month.
I am now 2 months and 2 weeks locs and loving it
Yay!!! I’m so glad your experience is going well 😍😍
Hi nice seeing you. Your locs is killing it.
Hi!!! Thanks so much!!! 💖 so happy you’re here
You have such a bright personality. Love your hair. #subscribed ❤
I love that you told me where to start watching ❤️❤️❤️🤣 First time viewer Thank you for all the information❤️
I was told I can't wash my starter locs for 3 to 4 months 😮 lol😅 I kbew right then to run away 😂 I'll be 1 month on May 12 th n I wash my locs yesterday it went very good
Loving your loc accessories!! 😍
Awww, thanks Dae!!!!! 😍😍😍 I definitely appreciate the love ❤️especially coming from you sis…your vids helped me out SO MUCH in the beginning of my journey. #ForeverGrateful 😘
Hello love your video, just started my locs two months ago, do I am still learning to embrace my locs. I have a Loctician but would love to shampoo my hair. Should I wear a stocking cap to shampoo? Thank you.
Your also correct with learning our different maintenance times. It's not been 4 weeks yes as suggested by the stylist,but I see for me and my daughter, that 4 week thang ain't gonna get it 🙃🤭,so when we both go back next week, I'm gonna let her know our maintenance will be every 3 weeks and see how that works out 🤗. Yes me and my daughter started our loc journey together also , with the 2strand twist 8/14/21
Exactly!!!! 😂😍👏🏾🥳🎊 i love this!!! Adjust until you figure out what works best. That’s always been my strategy lol so happy for you both!!!
You have literally touched on every concern I’ve had about choosing this journey . I also have eczema and did not want to get them because I thought my scalp would be problematic and my hair wouldn’t grow because of the irritation and lawd ….
You and your locs look amazing Alexis 😍😍 WOOOW. I'm restarting my journey. I unraveled my locs but will be starting soon... I just wasn't happy with my parts and size. That loc color is 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾. Love always, Kauna. 🇳🇦
Hello beautiful!!!! Thanks for the love and incredible energy (as always!!!) 💖💖💖 i’m glad to hear that you are restarting to get your desired outcome. It will definitely be worth it 🥳 keep me posted! Stay safe and safe, Kauna!!!
You hair is beautiful! I’m so glad I found your Chanel. You locs are just as I want mines to look. I love them!

I started my loc journey 3 days ago. When should I spray my hair with water?
I love your locs
Great tips! You saved me way back when when you mentioned using Hydrocortizone ointment for itch. Solved the problem for me! Lovely to see you, and best wishes for an enjoyable and safe school year, Professor. 💖

So I’ve watched almost all of your videos and I love your face!!! Lol! Seriously, I adore you and your videos are so encouraging! Your family is precious and I love you all!
I just started my 3rd and final loc journey with comb coils. My hair is super short, so that’s what worked best for me. I am such a two strand twist lover, though! I am a 4C as well.

Awww yay!!! I’m excited for you 😍😍😍 keep me posted
@@AlexisHarris me too Queen, I'm so excited for this, and by the way, I will
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS i start Oct 8th! I always look in the comments to see if anyone else is starting the same time as me 😳
@@jadarene3882 lol, I did myself I started yesterday, and I wish you the best on your journey
@@Tnm711 yesssssssss!!!! Same to you!!! 🙌🏽
I find that when my hair starts to grow out, I have a lot of shorter hair strands that come away from the root of the locs. I normally just crochet them back in place. What’s yours thought on that?
That’s exactly what I’ve learned to do! Just be gentle and delicate with those pieces and they loc back into the strand beautifully 💖
Looking good I don't own locs but they r hairs hanging out wat to do
Just Loc Journey Tell me what I can do for my hair On My lock journey
Hello Beautiful!!! 💓💓 blessings to your year ahead
Hi Ms. Darlene!!!! 💖💖💖 thank you so much for sending the love my way!!!
Started my semi free form journey Sunday
I just started my starter locs on 10-29-21 and I’m loving it. Honestly I had quite a bit of hair because I was loose natural for abt 6 years so I started at a pretty comfortable length and yea I’ve never felt more confident! I can’t wait till they get thicker and actually loc up. But I also have a question, can I just use regular water to mist my hair or should it absolutely be purified?
Congratulations on your new journey! I’m so excited for you. The water does not have to be purified, but I’ve always heard people say tapwater dries out your hair even more. So you have to be careful! Sending you lots of love ❤️
This may be too late to be useful. I stoped using tap water and use distilled water or rose water. Rose water every day left a dull look to my hair so I alternate between distilled water and rose water. My regimen allows me to skip applying oil every day but I do not skip applying oil 2 days in a row. I’m 4 days shy of being 2 months loc’d so I’m no expert. I have noticed what has worked for me. I subscribed to this channel my first week as a loc’d newbie and I have gained a lot of confidence here. Thanks Alexis.
All gorgeous ❤
Your locs are so beautiful n healthy looking your doing great by them ty for the info n sharing

Hi love
Do you moisturize your locs with water after a fresh retwist. How do u keep your retwist moisturize??
Hello beautiful! Great question. I moisturize every couple of days with a light mist of water and some oil 💖
@@AlexisHarris ok thank you
Your hair is beautiful! I love your energy and vibe. Wonderful tips!!!
Hello and thank you for sharing!!🤗🌸
Hi!!! Thanks so much for being here 💖💖💖
Thank you for this. I started my journey 8/24/21 as two strand twist. I counted I believe to be 105. It took me three days to finish but I’m super excited to explore this journey. So far I am loving the process. I posted a video of my journey so far. Thank you again for this video🤗
Hey beautiful!!! Thanks so much for being here and leaving some love. Congratulations on your new journey. You are such a brave soul to have started your journey by yourself! I admire people like you. Welcome to the family 😍🥳💕🎊💖
@@AlexisHarris Oh trust me I had my moments in the beginning lol but once I reached the back of my head I grew a little more hope🤣 this is my 2nd attempt to starting and this time I feel so much better because I actually took my time. Thank you so much for your feedback. Your video gives me life and hope❤️
Having such an amazing professor 😍😍😍 so wish to be your student ❤️
Awww!!!! Thanks beautiful!!! 😍😍😍 sending you lots of love
How many do you have like have you ever counted soooo I’m asking because I’m actually ordering some just trying to see if I have enough and I like your and the amount you have
Hi Alexis it's Karen again. Can you tell me which parting method you used. I like the way your hair falls and frames your face. You are so encouraging! My loc journey starts Dec. 3 2021. Can't wait....
Hello beautiful! I used a grid/brick parting system 💖 let me know how yours turn out! Super excited for you!!!
Mom's🔒'S are on point an Alex ur crown has blossomed 🤎🤎✌🏾✌🏾4eva🔒'D
😍😍😍 thank you so much!!!
I’m 3 days in my loc journey I only have 76 do you think that’s too little? My head & face small so I never wanted too many 😢
You are so beautiful and your hair is growing in nicely
The back of my head is kind of linty and I’m a bit sad about it. I’ve been maintaining themselves and they’re cute but the lint is a problem. My duvet be getting me
Hello gorgeous!!! Thanks so much for the love ❤️ I definitely understand the lint problem because my little brother has the same thing. Have you tried a silk bonnet? Or silk pillow cases?
A week & half in my loc journey & my head is itching. I use oil but my low porosity hair refused it. The struggle is rough.
Great info
New to your channel, subscribed. Excited about my loc journey, starting tomorrow. Two strand twist.
Welcome to the community and thanks for subscribing! Keep me updated and congratulations on starting your journey tomorrow 😍🥳
Thanks for the tips love. You are so beautiful! Keep up the great work that you are doing!❤ Respect Queen! One love🎊❤💛💚
Thank you so much for being here and leaving so much encouragement!!!! One love my friend ❤️
I really liked your video. Your hair is gorgeous and so are you. I am 4 weeks in and I feel like mine have strands outside the loc and my hair looks pretty frizzy. I’ve tried crocheting the hair in rolling back, but the hair comes back out. I started with coils perhaps I should have begun with 2 strand twists. Love your hair. Would you mind sharing your color? I am in education also. Special Ed. Love what I do. Your students must love your positive uplifting presence. Would love more info on your products and routine. Thank you so much!💖
Love your personality
