    I’m 5 months in and have been really missed about having fewer than I’d have liked even though my loctitian and I same have a proper conversation. But your locs are fewer than mine and I love how you volume and bounce are! Great reminder to not compare. Love your videos always. I’m not a fussy hair person. I wasn’t even as a loose natural with high density 4c hair. So this no fuss, 6 weeks retie journey just works. Thanks again for being a constant inspiration ❤❤

    Congrats 🎉🎉. I subscribed to you and another youtuber when I was thinking about locing my hair. I've been locked 7 months and lovling it, no lint, no dandruff, no issues and I used the interlocking method. You are so right no need to compare, I wanted something simple and the both of you have a very simple routine and different styles.

    I just love your personality girlfriend! I learned a lot from your journey, especially the steaming part and self maintenance. Oh, and most importantly the *2 point rotation* I nearly had a heart attack when a loctition did a 3 point rotation on me without my consent, then I saw one of your videos and I was sold on 2-point😂!
    By the way, how is Medical School going? Those of us in the field know just how much of a trip that is.

    • @NapsAreTheNewBlack

Im in the middle of rotations (currently on IM) and still trying to keep up with research, clubs, being present for my husband, youtube, etc. and time is absolutely flying. I can't believe ill be applying into residency in less than a year. It's wild.

    I know im 2-weeks late but your micros are gorgeous 😍. I think we all will have regrets as you stated. Im 13-months plus (14 months on Nov 7th) and still not locd 🔒. I was so sure I would be locd in 6 months...but was told I didnt have the 4c type like I thought more of a 4B so it could take 2-years or more to get there. So that was something that I was surprised about.
    Couple of regrets wish i knew about microlocs or sisterlocs 10 plus years ago because I would have gotten them then when my hairline was full. Currently trying to grow it back. Also, wish i would have splurged and have went with sisterlocs. My micros are small but I was hoping to get to over 400 locs. But might get there when my hairline gets thicker we wll see...
