I started my locks in 2001 and from then I felt so so beautiful and strong, my other journey now is learning to wrap my hair again another level of beauty. I am beautiful strong black woman all the way from Kenya. Sisters stay locd. Jah bless
The lady that said she felt ugly when she started her locs , OMG she is such a beautiful woman! It's so funny how we see ourselves. Yes people see you and not the hair, but that is part of the personal growth. Learning we are more than our hair. We are more than the physical.
I've been locked for 4 years. I get so many compliments from all types of people and my confidence also grew. But the first 8 months was the awkward stages of locs and I hid them under wigs until I just needed to be bold. So everyone be bold!
This was awesome, every one of these sistas are beautiful, I feel Natural is what the Most High intended, and I feel that Locs are the most Authentic. I have been loced going on 16 years and love it. Stay strong, stay natural, stay blessed and stay loced. Peace and Blessings.
I love this video. It reminds me of myself 10 years ago. I was lucky my mom said yes to loc my hair. Before she passed away I encourage her to loc her hair and she was happy she did. At my moms age 77 years her hair grew beautiful.
Well I don't know about other brothers, but these days I perfer a wemon with natural hair or locs, either one is fine. Now I have locs myself and I remember a time, when I thought weave was fly in sisters head, but now when I see natural hair or locs on our black wemon,I go bananas cause I think that it's a very sexy,self confidence, and appreciate the hair you were born with, and that's good enough for me🤗😍
Thats because it makes them look unique, as soon as they put on that dusty wig they are automatically indirectly competeing with all other women with that same hair texture. For example why would you want a woman with fake straight hair when you can get real staright hair from a woman of another race/ethnicity . Not saying i have a problem with women who wear wigs from time to time but this mindset is how many black dudes think if we being honest thats why i think more of them should rock locs it makes em stand out and puts them in thier own lane 🤷🏾♂️
It’s been almost 2 months since I started semi free forming my hair and it’s actually grown quite a bit in such little time and I feel like my confidence has just skyrocketed
I luv my locs , started in 1993 , i got tired of perms, braids , need a hair regime that i could ajust too. My journey began i still have my locs 25 yrs later. Cut them several times because of weight , but it alright with me. Peace
My mom got her locks about 13 years ago. She recently cut her hair to a twa and stopped dying he hair. She gets crazy looks a lot because people judge her for not conforming to an attempt to look young and have long hair. She’s a beautiful woman, and she shines very bright. She convinced me to get locs 2 years ago because I was frustrated about my hair not growing past my shoulers. Ive seen the best results with my locs (sisterlocs) since I was in elementary school. Slowly it’s evolving into a spiritual relationship as well as a practical one because of the dry climate I lived in. I’m much more confident with my locs and comfortable with myself.
When Yahweh came to me and woke me up to who I am he showed me how how he wanted me to look like and told me to loc my hair I never even considered it in my life!!!All praises to Yah!!!
@@corrinediggs2565 we are all the way live now. Lol I. Just honestly super excited. I always talk myself out of it or let someone else talk me out of it. I'm just in a different place mentally honestly.
Mel Jones Omgeeeeeee same here. I had been contemplating getting them over two years. I recently started really looking into them about 8-10 months now. When I really made my mind up I was deciding between which type I wanted. I really really love the look of the sister locs & those are what I thought I would choose but after as I said researching I figured for more than one reason that traditional locs would be a better choice for me. As you said I allowed others to talk me out of it when I had set up my appointment two months ago. I told myself the next appointment I had set I would go through with it. As you said I am just in a total different place mentally. Why let others influence what I feel in my heart? I am so in love with them & really feel a sense of freedom. No more detangling & two strand twisting before bed @ night. Also just feeling a different connection overall with my hair, myself, & my roots ✊🏾. May god bless you on not just your hair journey sis but your complete journey of life! ❤️
We must STOP referring to the natural binding of our hair as DREAD(s) The white man referred to our hair as dread to promote disgust and fear... Please just refer to the hair as Locs.. there is nothing DREADful about locs.
I started my locs last year October 16, 2020 and I love my hair. My husband has been loced for about 7 or 8 years. He has been trying to get me to loc my hair for year's and I just went with it, I didn't have a hard time my hair loced and budded really fast my hair grows fast I'm 6 months in and love every part of my journey.
Brilliant documentary, have the choice and I agree once in that flow of relaxing etc., and "easier to manage" and sometimes our parents not liking locs etc., and some parents relax the hair so young and as she said once the hair has pulled and over treated then there is nothing to enjoy or be proud of.
I cringe every time this Caucasian narrator says "DREADS". Please stop allowing them to refer to our hair as "DREADFUL". This is a term, which was created by the oppressor, because they didn't know what to do with our hair. Needless to say, our Sisters were made to cover our crowns, because WHITE WOMEN were so intimidated by it. Stop the madness! AIN'T NOTHING dreadful about it! ~Peace 👊🏽
Our hair is political. The cost of being natural is expensive just like our Black skin... I love my locs because it is an outward appearance of my inner believes of my Black/African pride in myself.
In the 1980s my dad was adamant about me not locing my hair. He was like a lot of parents in those times. They were brain washed into thinking we would be classed off as dirty, and uneducated, we would not look neat Thank God the times have changed, and black people are now enlightened.
Many of my grandparents generation grew up thinking Locs were negative and forbade their children from growing them. Now some of them have Locs lol. So as a people we have come a long way 😊
A lot of people really don't understand why a lot of people lock their hair that's for like my brother and his wife and 6 daughters and one son my brother took the vow of the Nazarite
@@ethosheia exactly..our hair is our glory, our strength, our connection to the creator, even when our hair goes grey, it's not a sign of old age, it's a sign of wisdom......those demons know this......
Why do you say that? Locs have been around for thousands of years, way before the rastafarian movement. However one chooses to go about locking their hair, it's still locs. Whether they be freeform or what have you.

I started my locs 10-20-16...it was the best decision I ever made ✨💓☺✊
I said the exact same thing!! I started my loc journey on 10/24/2020 and it was the best decision I ever made!! ♥️🖤💚

Great documentary!! I love the points made about our hair. These sisters are awake!
I think when African American women wear their natural hair and a bold lip color it just looks so beautiful to me.
September 24 I will hit 2 years and so far it has been 2 years worth of growth not only with my hair, but within myself
I cut my love off around 2011 and I just started the Loc journey again. I believe this will be something I keep this time around.
Locks and natural are gorgeous!!!!!!

The lady at 9:17 is freaking beautiful!
thinking of locking my hair & really loved this, thank you! (also check your other messages on FB) blessings.
Did you end up locking it?
I love my sister locks. my lock length was over my butt. I've been growing them for 13 yrs. I've cut my locks up to bra length.
This is so beautiful. My thoughts exactly.
2024 still watching. 😁😘😘😘

Asè!
Actually not true
Dreadlocks- Dread was used in the name to represent the fear rastafarians have for God
Cosmic Soul thank u 🙌🏾✊🏾🙌🏾❤️
That’s not where the term “dreadlocks” come from. Stop perpetuating that narrative.
i love rewatching this
I ❤️ My Locs
BEAUTY!!! 😍
I love seeing mixed in silver hair in long locs especially when you can tell they start coming in❤ I've been growing mine since November 2017
Ive had my locs for over 8 years

The lady @9:30 is a freakin beauty...
Love it thanks sooo much for sharing !!!!

My Locs are 3 years old
*My dreadlocks hang down to my waistline 8 years*
There is nothing "DREAD" about them..... they are LOCS
I agree but it is interesting how we have become so commune with the phrase dred and dreadlocks.

They are not dreads they are locs
Im tryn get with women dat has locs shatta queen
Dont do your to tide lady,s .you can geth bald.
My parents are VERY anti locks.
Why is that?
Mon E very old school, conservative Jamaican mindset
shop locks ,no good
Why do you say that? Locs have been around for thousands of years, way before the rastafarian movement. However one chooses to go about locking their hair, it's still locs. Whether they be freeform or what have you.
