    I completely understand I went from 100 to 32 Locs!!! However I love the fact that I connected them. “Mad Love”

    I used your tips to get my locs the way they are. So thanks kokabuta. But instead of using a rubber band at the tips to keep them together I sewed the ends. And after a year they are combining and you cant tell I combined them. Im freeforming now but thanks for the tips in your other videos. You helped me on my deadlock journey.

    This video was stupid helpful bro. I have hightop dreads, ( 72 ) and i wanna combine them by fours to make ( 18 ). The cons are worth it. I learned so much from this, thank you

    That shrinkage is no joke, this is my second set of locs. My first set I had for 13 years, had free loose hair for 1 year, couldn't stand it. Now I have started over and have combined lots at different times, think I am finally where I want to be, but they would be longer if I didn't semi freeform. Just waiting on that look I'm going for, loving the thickness vs. my first "perfect" set :)

    Thank you! I am using your videos for inspiration! I decided I want thicker locs. I have gone from 206 to 176 and now 76. I don't twist a lot! I am looking forward to seeing the result of my locs in a year or so! I am rocking scarves and basket weaves until the situation changes! Love your videos! Thank you!! I give up on lent! Lol

    Thanks for this video. I have energy issues and natural hair wasn't working for me. I knew locs were easier but tiny locs weren't that much easier. I was just intimidated about getting thick locs since I'm a woman, but you look gorgeous. Thank you, you're giving me confidence.

    I have 27 locs, and almost 7 months. I semi freeform and loving the thickness. I started with 39. I am happy now with the size. No more combining. I love the difference sizes too. Not too different, just slightly. Plan on twisting 3 times a year from now on. Your locs are gorgeous like you. You have a wonderful, happy personality too. Thanks for the vids.

    Awahhhh it's nice to see u back your hairs looking great wasn't expecting to see your hair this long it's looking really nice . I don't have thick locks mine are small your right it takes me 4/5 hours just for me to interlock . The good thing about it I only do it every 3 months . Anyway looking forward to your next video thanks for sharing :) God bless

    @tbey82 9 лет назад +3

    Great vid! I can relate to all these pros and cons although my locs are smaller.thanks got sharing. Lint is serious and drying time can take a while as well because of length. I always use a dryer to prevent that mop like smell and to cut down on drying time

  • @bunkinbunkin
    @bunkinbunkin 9 лет назад +5

    You are such a beautiful woman :) Your locks are Fleekin' (LoL)!!! ('m always looking for an excuse to use that word LOL!!! I'm at the front door of beginning my locks again, and this time (hopefully my final time!) I can get the size just right, I want thick em's!!!!! Maybe a tad smaller but definitely thick. I think that's why I was never satisfied with my previous journeys. Anyway love watching your vids and appreciate you sharing your experiences with us. Stay blessed :)

    I'm 5 and a half months in and I've gone from 167 to 160 to 139 and now to 128 locs.
    The very first time I retwisted, it literally took about 6 hours (of course because I was still learning and the roots were merging like crazy).
    Now it takes me about 3 hours.
    I'm convinced that I just twist slow but maybe after they mature the amount of time it takes will decrease lol

Thanks I'm looking forward to more thick loc updates. Sooo inspiring ;o)
