I'm a DIY kind of girl and have recently gotten into loc jewelry as well - just got some 16 gauge wire, a wire cutter tool, and a wire bending plier tool, and I've been twisting up lil coils and spirals to put in my 14 month old locs. I love playing around with the shapes of the jewelry (I have a heart, a treble clef, and a bunch of spirals while I wait for more inspiration to come)
Hey Beautiful, maybe it's the lighting but I actually thought you lightened your hair. the sun will naturally give you colour. great update as always. have a great week!
Your loc kourney is going amazing, and yes there is definitely a difference from last month! more length! I will be 2 years in September! and I love every minute of it.
+Lauren Jackson, I am definitely feeling the 2 year mark. It's almost like your locs get their own sassy personality. There's more hang time, more weight, more thickness, more shine; very much more developed. While some people consider their 1 year anniversary to be the stage where their locs become teenagers, for me and my hair texture, the 1.5 - 2 year mark makes a world of difference. this has been life changing for me, and I thank God everyday that I wake up, because I realize that I am not defined by my hair, but my hair represents my beauty! I don't have to fit a standard anymore. I'm more confident. I hope that makes sense!
I'm 3 months in my Loc journey, I'm having my ups and downs something think bout cutting my Baby Locs but watching Ur videos motivate and help me appreciate the Journey I'm on Thanks so much for the videos ✊🏾😎
Stay motivated! It will definitely be worth it! You may even look back and appreciate the baby, fuzzy loc'd days. It's so rewarding looking back and seeing the patience and time put in! Thanks for checking out the videos :)
Love your videos! You & your locs are absolutely gorgeous & they've made so much more progress!! I just think they are condensing more and becoming more compact:) You definitely are an inspiration to me in your journey:)
You have no idea how big a smile I get when I see your comments!! I truly appreciate your support as always, and I too am inspired by your locs, your videos, and your beautiful personality
Growing beautifully! Yeah, I want loc jewelry so bad, but many of mine are still not mature yet, and hair have hooked onto my stud earring and pulled the tread of hair out...Took the out (no studs for the foreseeable future), but makes me cautious to introduce jewelry with anything that could snag... And how do you measure your loc thickness to buy the right size?
I actually just explored that option and made about 5 or 6 pieces. They came out beautifully. I watched 3 videos of MahoganyHomeschooler and they were extremely helpful. I don't think she's making videos anymore, and the ones I watched were from 2010...but solid gold for making loc jewelry and hair ties!
I hope to see a video on your loc jewelry! ;) And I actually haven't had one! But now that I have this channel, I'm thinking it might be good to finally join.
I plan on doing a video on it :) and no pressure! but as soon as you mentioned the jewelry it got me wondering if you had some already and had taken any pictures. if you do decide to start an instagram please let us all know. id love to follow.
Your locs have definitely grown!!! And they look fantastic. In every loc journey I follow, people say they can't see the difference but it seems like others always can haha
Your locs have condensed quite a bit, but they are still fat and juicy...that's a good thing. You probably will have a major growth spurt at 2 years or shortly after. I did and other loc wearers too. My locs are passed my shoulders but I liked wearing them up off my neck. I live in NYC and its too hot to have them on my neck.😣
I totally love your locs wish I knew more about my hair texture before I started because I love thick luscious locs check out my journey am six months in do you have any advice can u share with me?
I'm going on my second month locked, and I just checked out your videos around your two months... man the difference between then and now are crazy. I'm highly anticipating my hair when it hits the one year mark. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Your locs are just so awesome! They definitely appear to be "falling" more -if that makes sense. I also think there has been a little bit of growth since your 13 month update. At almost 3 months in my loc journey, parts of my locs are definitely becoming more dense as I have been shampooing and spritzing them more frequently.
I like it too! The little blond tip just sort of turned out that way! And it definitely is! I can barely get half way through the day before my locs are completely dried out!
I just love your locs😍dare I say they remind of me Lauyrn Hill's locs. They look longer to me. I just washed mine and I swear it looks longer every time 😆😆.
I hope they will resemble hers! :) And I feel the same way! After washing your locs it feels like almost like a "re-twist", and you seem to see more length!
I don't have a satin pillow case, but it's also not cotton, more silky texture with no lint! I'm technically not freeforming, but semi-freeforming. Went to a loctitian the first month, got my hair sectioned and twisted, then never went back and let my hair do its thing. I have about 90 locs.
Ffs. What do you think happens after your hair dries after it's wet with just water? It dries... and your hair dries out right with it. Now, I hope YOU aren't serious.
Baddscorpio girl I have locs the same length and size as she do.. I've never put any products in my hair.. my 15 month anniversary is next month.. my hair is very healthy and soft..not only am I speaking from EXPERIENCE, sweetie it's common sense.. lmao.. anything dries after you wet it..

Sounds like a good idea! How often do you take out your loc jewelry? And how easy is it to remove and/or put back on?
she got them otto rocket locs i love it
I was so distracted by her beautiful smile 😍😍😍
Thank you! :)
Hey Beautiful, maybe it's the lighting but I actually thought you lightened your hair. the sun will naturally give you colour. great update as always. have a great week!
Thank you so much, Sandra! The sun definitely works its magic :) You have a great week, too!
love your hair! very beautiful
Thank you, Amun! :)
Welcome Queen
Your locs are gorgeous! I can see the growth
Thank you, Angela! :)
Your loc kourney is going amazing, and yes there is definitely a difference from last month! more length! I will be 2 years in September! and I love every minute of it.
correction: journey
Congrats on 2 years! How have your locs changed now that they are going on 2 years?
+Lauren Jackson, I am definitely feeling the 2 year mark. It's almost like your locs get their own sassy personality.

+Lauren Jackson Thanks
You're definitely one of my loc crushes. 😍 I can see a difference in your hair since last month for sure. Love your videos!
Thank you so much!! :)
I have no intentions of ever getting locs, yet I watch every single one of your update videos lol. Love your channel, and your hair.
Thank you so much, Sadiya! It means a lot :)

And how do you measure your loc thickness to buy the right size?
I feel the same way, and I also wonder how to really measure each loc size as well! Some people make their own, I may look into that.
I actually just explored that option and made about 5 or 6 pieces. They came out beautifully. I watched 3 videos of MahoganyHomeschooler and they were extremely helpful. I don't think she's making videos anymore, and the ones I watched were from 2010...but solid gold for making loc jewelry and hair ties!
AND i just got loc jewelry too! Are you on instagram?
I hope to see a video on your loc jewelry! ;) And I actually haven't had one! But now that I have this channel, I'm thinking it might be good to finally join.

+Lauren Jackson can you do a video on moisturizing your locs
Your locs looking great! Stay loc'd and stay blessed!
Thank you, Lasaan!!
Lauren Jackson You're welcome!
Your locs have definitely grown!!! And they look fantastic. In every loc journey I follow, people say they can't see the difference but it seems like others always can haha
Sooo true! LOL! That's why it has been so helpful to make these videos to really document the progress!

My locs are passed my shoulders but I liked wearing them up off my neck. I live in NYC and its too hot to have them on my neck.😣
I know the feeling! It's getting a little tooo hot!
coming along very nicely, looking good! You've got a little comedic actress in you huh? lol
Thank you so much! And yes, I try to be sometimes ;)

Thank you, Michael!
You are beautiful and your hair is too 😍🤘🏽🙋🏽
Thank you, Amelia! :)

Love and embrace every part of the journey, persevere with patience, enjoy their beauty :) Hope all is well in your journey!
I'm going on my second month locked, and I just checked out your videos around your two months... man the difference between then and now are crazy. I'm highly anticipating my hair when it hits the one year mark. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
I love to share it with you, ShawolAnn. Thanks for checking out my channel, and congrats on your second month! :) Keep growing!
i only use coco nut oil dread and i put water everyday
Love the locs, they definitely look longer. I will be 7 weeks Saturday and I am in the fuzzy stage, but I am hanging in there!
Hang in there! :)
Yay!! 14 months! Love your videos please keep sharing with us 😊
I definitely will, Danni! Thank you so much for watching the videos :)
Your locs are just so awesome! They definitely appear to be "falling" more -if that makes sense. I also think there has been a little bit of growth since your 13 month update.
At almost 3 months in my loc journey, parts of my locs are definitely becoming more dense as I have been shampooing and spritzing them more frequently.
Thank you so much, M! Lol Shampooing and spritzing is the way to go! Keep them hydrated, clean, and simple :)
Beautiful all the time.
Thank you!
Lauren Jackson: You're so welcome.
Love it! I love the little blonde tip on you left side! It's hard to maintain moisture in the summer and avoid buildup!
I like it too! The little blond tip just sort of turned out that way! And it definitely is! I can barely get half way through the day before my locs are completely dried out!
At 3mins I was like 😩😩😩😍
Your hair actually does look different- it looks way more cylindrical, or maybe it's just me
Omg Im from Orlando! what part of Florida do you live in?
Hey! I'm in west palm beach!
Oh awesome! I dont go there often but I always enjoy it when I do! It's so nice to see someone else from florida!
You beautiful an so are your locs
Hiiiii!! 🙋🏽
Heyyyy! :D
how many locs do you have
I know that hard water is a mess, what do you do to keep them so nice
Your is progressing beautifully! They look like they have fallen a bit since last month to me. :)
Thank you so much, Zenobia!!
you are so incredibly beautiful
Thank you so much, Jackie!! :)
Locs look great
Thanks, Mellonee!
Omg wat part of Fl??
I just love your locs😍dare I say they remind of me Lauyrn Hill's locs. They look longer to me. I just washed mine and I swear it looks longer every time 😆😆.
I hope they will resemble hers! :) And I feel the same way! After washing your locs it feels like almost like a "re-twist", and you seem to see more length!
Hey, do you sleep with a satin pillow case and are you free forming? Lastly how many locs do you have? Thanks
I don't have a satin pillow case, but it's also not cotton, more silky texture with no lint! I'm technically not freeforming, but semi-freeforming. Went to a loctitian the first month, got my hair sectioned and twisted, then never went back and let my hair do its thing. I have about 90 locs.
i like how thick yr locs are awsome
Thank you!
Are those twisted ?
Semi-freeform!
My dread is not loc well what should I do
How do you maintain them? Twist? Interlock? Freeform? Semi-freeform?
+Lauren Jackson How many dreads do you have?
Maybe around 90 give or take
+Lauren Jackson Wow they are so think for 90!
your hair is so beautiful
Thank you!
I love your LOCS and you dont need loc jewelry its just hair is what i tell people who ask about my hair.
Beautiful smile and i love your teeth, call me crazy for my turn on's but you've got them
Just water isn't going to moisturize your hair
It has so far for me!
Baddscorpio I know you're not serious? Lol Water is the best moisturizer for anything hun..
Ffs. What do you think happens after your hair dries after it's wet with just water? It dries... and your hair dries out right with it. Now, I hope YOU aren't serious.
Baddscorpio girl I have locs the same length and size as she do.. I've never put any products in my hair.. my 15 month anniversary is next month.. my hair is very healthy and soft..not only am I speaking from EXPERIENCE, sweetie it's common sense.. lmao.. anything dries after you wet it..
If you look at my instagram (Petite_Nee )you can see how healthy my locs are ..
