Alafia (peace) everyone. As always I'll love to thank you all for your love and support and the positive energy you send my way. Please remember my videos and content are NOT for everyone. If what I'm say do not apply to you or your loc journey that's fine but please keep the negative comments to yourselves and allow others to appreciate what I'm trying to do for the loc community, which is educate. Like I always say, "if you don't like my videos or what I'm saying, then don't watch", it's that simple. BIGGGG SHOUT OUT to all my positive Queens and Kings that subscribe to my channel. YOU GUYS ROCK.
Yannie the Locologist you really need to take a trip to jamaica and show these people what it all about
Please talk on if crotcheting new growth is right 🙏🙏🙏
I've watched so many loc videos lately because I've decided I'm going to loc my hair. I want HEALTHY locs. This is likely the only channel I need to be watching.
I could literally listen to you read the phone book. Your voice is so pleasant!
I'm so blessed to have found you and your channel! I'm 2 months into my loc journey. I decided to have my first professional retwist just to ensure I wasn't jacking up the back part of my head. I had scheduled my appointment 3 weeks ago and after watching several of Yannie's video I decided I would text the stylist and confirm that I didn't want to use products, other than water and oil. She asked for a pic of my locs (ooh, just saying that "my locs" feelings so good!) She then proceeded to tell me they must use products AND my hair texture required interlocking and should not have been started with 2 strand twists. I hated to do it, but I cancelled the appointment. This is MY hair and I know how I want it to be treated. PLUS, although certain sections of my hair has a softer texture, I'm loving the look of the locs in the back of my head. They kept unraveling but I took Yanni's advice and left them alone and guess what? They are DISRESPECTFUL and I love it. I wish I had treated my whole head the same! But we live and learn! Enjoy your journey!!
Started with 2 strands 5 weeks ago . I loveeeee it so much! Glad I went this route 😍❤️
Your complexion is beautiful. Its like sunkissed coa-coa 🌹
felicia somuyiwa nice 🔥
I've had two sets of locs. The first set was comb twists and the 2nd set was started with two strand twists. The two stand set was definitely better! I recommend it.
brooklynforever1990 thanks for sharing
Do I have locs? No. Do I plan on getting locs? No. Am I hear to just listen to Yannie? Yup 🤣
Do I care? Not really. Am I hungry? Sorta. Will I masturbate? Definitely after work. Who will I fantasize about? I’ll let pornhub guild me

She makes everybodys trees and scalp look so clean and healthy. I LOVE it!
“Even though he has beautiful coarse hair” you better let em know! Funny the way life works I was just telling my 9 year old cousin Yesterday he should start a loc journey (since his hair is locing on its own) and he agreed he wants to! Im gonna be the one to do it.. so this is so helpful to come across today!
As a loc stylist this made me really take a look at the methods I use
Yannie is the real deal. I love her instruction.
This statement let's me know the type of hair care you provide your clients. Where are you located?
I’m a lazy natural so I literally wear a puff which gives me headaches . I do not care for weave because my scalp itches . Long story short I’ve decided to loc my hair ! It’s been a week now and I started with two strand twists! 😍
Yannie! Girllll you are so intuitive and experienced. Everything you teach about I see or have seen in my journey. I know you will become more recognized as people get further into their journey. Nobody waits 1-2 years to lock up without wanting the best for their hair.
My two strand twists are one week old today, I’m determined to learn as much as I can from Yannie (I’m Trini too so ima call she tanty haha). Love and blessings
Oh gadooo. Look ting nah. Ah iz tanty Yannie now. Ah love it. Lmaooooo
I started my locs with two strand twist at the ends and plaits at the root three weeks ago. Best decision I look forward to the journey
This Queen knows her stuff. I don't know if I'll ever get locs, but I appreciate the knowledge. Peace, Queen.
I love this woman she's so genuine
I started with two strand, plait at roots to hold then two strand the rest. I only used jamaicain castor oil😊 to twist. It will be 1 year for me in October. I Love It❤❤❤. Much love Yannie❤
I started my hair with plaits. It’s been about 3 weeks and starting to lock. So far I love it.
Damn. Auntie opened my eyes. I haven't started my loc journey yet (trying to make my hair healthier before I start) but I always said I would do comb coils to start my locs. Her explanation made perfect sense: why detangle your hair in order to to loc it??
Love the video! ♡♡
Everyone was telling I couldn’t have started my hair with twostrands
I got so happy when you said twostrand
You have just answered the question I have been researching. Two strand twists will be my starters. Thank you for all your knowledge!
Peace Queen👑
🙌🏾 I'm so grateful for this video popping up as I search how to start my locs. I've been wanting to loc my hair for a few years now though afraid of not starting in a healthy manner. I am beyond grateful for all of the information you provided here. I never knew that all that gel, beeswax, souffle, etc. Is unnecessary for locs. I'm so glad to know that I don't have to become a product junkie, just to have locs. I HAD to subscribe to your channel within the first few sentences you spoke. Lol no offense to anyone else though this is exactly why I love Trinidadians. Straight to the point. Strong no chasers. Within this short video, I've learned MORE about locs than I have over the past few years of wanting to loc my hair myself. So Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been doing faux locs in my hair with yarn for the past year on and off. Trying to get comfortable, and use to seeing myself with locs. Before I build the courage to actually commit to locs. I'm going to wash this oil out of my hair and utilize every bit of advice that you have provided here. Much Gratitude 🙏🏾👑💪🏾💜
I only follow Yannie and Jimmy period.... I started my locs myself and Jimmy told me via Facebook how to do it , I was scared because I have 3 a/ 3 b hair and my coils came out I have to wash my hair every week..... he told me to do two stand twist and put a rubber band on the ends.... so now I have 42 locs they are THICK I don’t mess with them and I’m in loveeeeee with it!!! I wear hijab so most of the time it’s in a scarf but Alhumduillah I’m soooo happy I found Yannie and Jimmy!!!!
Most of my family has locs and NOBODY started with comb coils that is a fairly new technique and I believe it’s mostly a salon technique... Also we call plaits when it’s your natural hair... box braids is a style wen you are adding hair to it and generally box parting... I’m on my second set of locs 4mos in with two strand twists... I love them... they always look bomb!
Mine started with combcoils. I think they still looking dope.
U got any advice on combining locs?
This was really informative, you was straight to the point to just 2 strand twist, and not using all these products people try putting in your hair..thank you!!
Thank you for this video. I’m starting my locs myself cause I believe there is great power and strength in our hair. I’m glad I watched cause I was headed to the store to get wax. Peace and light Queen.
I started with two strands ended with coils I love coils more. My coils are coming along exceptionally well. I'm 8 months
Girl me too...When I tell people this they are always shocked bc I started with technically two methods...I do believe the reason my locs are doing so well is bc My locs were two strand twisted and only coiled at the end. But COME THRU LOC QUEEN. IM 8MOS IN AS WELL...BEST DECISION I MADE!
@@besmithj167 thank you so much!!! 💓 Congratulations on your journey
I start locs all the time but on my clients i just do a good bit of upkeep and i been doing locs for 15 years .
I LOVE how you have an accent I can understand and how your voice is dominating but not demeaning. Thank you 🙏🏾 ☺️
I don't have locs, and am considering locking my hair and everything you're saying makes absolute sense. Bless up!
You have such beautiful hands Yannie. Best lessons I have ever learned about locs were from you !
It really depends on YOUR HAIR chemistry. Everything doesn't work. Im lost on what she is doing to retwist or maybe that's in other videos. I went to a shop to start mine and they did comb coils. I palm roll for maintenance now and I haven't had any issues yet. For sure do NOT use wax, cremes and other heavy or white substances. Will be 3 years in September and I'm about an inch past my shoulder. I suggest knowing your hair and not wanting a rushed process if you wasnt to start your locs. Best of luck to all!
I plan on staring my own locs at home I had plan on starting them with twists so it's good to hear that twist is a good way to go.
"The next morning you wake up with a double chin" took me out😂😂💀
I did comb coils for me and my son to start and on my husband's I did 2 strand twist. My locs didn't take long to log but I have think hair and have over 100 locs my son hair took a long time to log but I fixed both of our hair by only retwisting 2 or 3 times a year. My husband has a looser texture hair and his hair is locing so well and they are so thick so 2 strand twist is best. And I only palm roll to rewist with no clips
Wow thankGod I found this video, I wanna start locs and I've been watching different videos on what to do and what not to do, you know I love my hair so much and don't wanna ruin it. I can sincerely say that this is the most helpful video I've found
Have been considering dread Locs for sometime now and I’ve enjoyed listening to your tutorials...I feel that you are very knowledgeable with dreads and understandable to the care & up keep of them. Thank you!
Thanks for the info ❤️
Yup Damian Walters came to mind he loooooooves the comb coiling and that blue spray!
It nice to hear there are other ways to do it. Comb coils will not work for me
Yannie you don’t understand. Watching these videos make me so super excited. I’m coming to see you soon mama. Just called this morning and left my message. - Tashai from Atlanta
About 3 months ago is when I went to the hairstyles to twists my hair. Before let do my hair I ask no gel, but she did use it. My hair wasn't really locking and I was going to her for 3 months. Then I was one while looking at You Tube I can upon Yannie videos. That when I went out and brought some rose water and Dr Bonner peppermint soap and Jamaican castor oil. The other I wash my hair and sent it was lock. I twist my hair using the rose water and put the castor oil on my scalp. While went to sleep while wearing my night cap. And I love it and hair feel soft and nice.
Your honesty is refreshing.thank u Yannie
I'm so confused because of the different opinions on how to start. I'm ready to loc my hair but I want it done right the first time because I'm not a second time person lol.
me too but i finally looked into twist then i found her video so it basically confirmed my theory. i dont want any product
I felt the same and now im at month 6... you should just start it and try to be a minimalist! Watching Yannie shows me I could've started "wrong" but you can fix it and it has to do it with your hair individually!
Sameeee but I think I decided I’m going to start with two strands because I don’t want a uniform loc
Im watching these comments and I see people talking bout your accent then I raised the volume and I'm like "wait, that's Trini I hear?!" It's nice to see that I'm looking at loc videos and I come across a fellow Trinidadian.
I started my locs with box braids ( no hair added) and it feels amazing to know that I started with healthy hair and scalp 🥰🥰been LOC for 2 months 😅
Me listening to her talk: buh how she sound like a Trini so?
Her: Everybody knows I'm Trinidadian
Me: DAS WAH WE TALK BOUUTTTTTT. *applauds and immediately subscribes*
I wanna start locs but I'm a dougla and there are no tutorials for my hair type, plus, I am soo worried about thinning so I clicked on this video for info and I am already SURE this woman knows what she's talking about.
His locs hard af, the thickness, size and amount 🔥
i wish i saw this video before i started with coils! i love your videos !!!
You now have a new subscriber. I have been growing my locs for about 3-4 years. I got locs for healthy natural hair. I was going to the shop but she was using lots of products and drying my hair out so I have for the last 2-3 years been twisting them myself. My hair texture is very straight. My neck line and front edges are really fine getting thicker in the middle. My locs are tearing up some have broken off and joined into others also I have lost a few. Watching your video is helping me tremendously. Thank you. I will continue to watch for additional information. Once again because I probably can't say it enough Thank you!
Thanks for your brilliant brilliant videos , I only started watching them from last week just after cutting my locs because of all the gel and product build up and feel that you videos will be extremely useful to start my new loc journey.
Ms Yannie, you are my loc godmother!! I have learned so much from you. I look forward to you diet talk and how it creates dandruff.
How do you retwist them? Do you palm roll? Use clips to hold? Please tell us
Thank you! This is exactly how I grew my dreadlocks the first time in 2011. All naturally and always drying them out with a towel.
On my second set of locs (1st set 2 strand twists) and I must say that I like this set better which are comb coils. I noticed that my hair is locking faster and the locs are able to "swell" better which gives my fine hair look fuller. My hair kept coming out of the twists
I do locks on my kids hairs and I do the twist. I think that's the best way so I totally agree with you.
I'm so glad I started watching your videos before starting my locs...I attempted to loc my hair in 2015, went to a loctician and he used beeswax🥺😔
Didn't feel right and I combed it out a week later.I started locs on my own again two weeks ago and I used two strand twists. Thank you for enlightening us always🙏🏾❤🤗
My husband is Trini and our son wants locs. We tried with someone local and she comb coiled his hair and there was so much build up and she said if he wet his hair it could fall out. I immediately washed it and combed out what she did. I’m going to try to loc his hair with 2 stand twists. His curls will already lock on their own if not detangled daily. He has tight, low porosity, thick hair Thank you for your videos and teaching everyone how to have healthy, clean locs.
Wow your channel has grown I'm happy for you. I been watching you for years and trying to help people with a healthy loc journey.
So glad I found your videos! Learning so much! I am starting my journey again. When the time is right I want to have my crown blessed by you. I am a Jersey girl too😃
So glad I came across this video. Very informative. I don’t consider myself to be a loctician but I get a lot of request to start/retwist locs. I often twist with the comb because that’s how I thought it was supposed to be. But from here on out, I’m two strand twisting . Thanks
Started my journey 2 months ago with two strand twist, best decision I ever made! Thank you for this video queen
How do you retwist two strands
New subscriber in the building. Trinidad and Tobago massive 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇹🇹
I had headphones on that dog scared the hell outta me lol
Thank You Empress!!! Starting My #microbraids #microlocs #braidlocs with three strand braids as My two strand twists washed out with My fine, wiry, bone straight salt and pepper hair so will install them loosely so shed hair can catch in the braid itself minus product. My Beautiful #greylocs #greysisterlocks #silverlocs #3pointrotation well over 200 locs were birthed April 30, 2022!!! I started them about 8 weeks ago! No dryers! No heat! No conbs! I do use a white tee shirt to gently pat no rubbing to just catch water after shaking My locs in shower. I have a whole house water filtration system softener!
"Absoultely, 💘 love your videos Yannie. Through all the maze....You have made it all make sense.🥰😊
Hair dryers and blow dryers are the devil. My hair worst nightmare. Stay away people, stay far away. Let the sun dry your hair.
Well said
I've heard people say your locs will mold and or mildew if you air dry so that scared me away from that. Is that true? I'm new to the loc game.
I read that some people said sun drying creates mildew in locs. I find that to be false. In the summer, after retwisting I allow my hair, which is damp to air & skin dry. Never had mildew. My locs are fresh smelling.
I need to hear this!!! I want to start a HEALTHY LOC JOURNEY!! Thank you!!!
The Lord led me to loc my hair back in 2019.... and it has been journey... but He showed me the three strand... which is a two strand... but three.... where I grabbed two strands, then with in the two, I made a third, and twisted.... in the process it worked out to be like a braid, but I spritz... and found that spritzing my hair helped it loc... it was not a basic water spritz but a cleaning refreshing spritz...I did not have help, except my husband... I did not have any salons to go to, as most turned me away...... I researched and stressed, and found that simply trusting in what The Lord spoke to me was simply, twist and spritz..... and wash it periodically was what worked....I have long hair, beyond waste length
Thank you!
I'd love to see how your hair has progressed!
I started my own locs with 2 strand twist and I love it! Now!
🎵Messed up on my hair, but tonight I *bounced BACK*
Listened to a little Yannie got me right, I *bounce BACK* 🎵
Big sean - Bounce back (my edition)
Im 11 months in with 2 strand twists. I had another set of twisted locs back in the day and 2 strand twists is much better with lesser maintenance also locks up faster.
I love you and your videos so much Ms. Yannie!! Thank you for sharing!! God bless you!!
I usually start lots with comb twist, and they turn out beautifully. However I use certain products to prevent buildup. I do not use wax; only the most natural products. I so know that it takes a bit longer to loc. But if done properly, a person can achieve awesome results. I do also begin to interlock once loc matures a bit; depending on the hair type. I had a client come to me yesterday; and the stylist before me tried to start his locs with two strand twist. The locs were extremely inconsistent and were loosening. I ended up just starting them all over because I couldn't work with what he had going on in his head already. 🤷🏽♀️This technique does also work if done correctly, but if not 🗑
The way she got her baby together 🤣🤣🤣🤣 “stop it IM recording”🤣🤣 but great job this came out neat ☺️
I can’t wait. Man I wish I could just fast forward real quick just so I can see how his hair looks one year from now, and then rewind.
SimplyNatural lol. patience is key
I barely made it to six mins in before I had to click subscribe 😭❤️
I agree Yani. I started myself with 2 strand twist and interlocked after for 7months. I have very thin hair naturally so I managed to have locks with no holes at all thats what I wanted.
TN Zem I have thin hair too and want dreads... I need to see more thin haired dreads.
Trinidad viewer tuning in... Told myself from the first video I watched that you were born here. Blessings to you and your business. Thanks for the advice.. Starting my locs this way....stay blessed
I'm Loving It!!! First day with my two-strand twist!!!! Thank you for the videos it's teaching me a lot!!!
I started my first set of locs with two strand twists. My second and now my third ( a week ago) with coils. Mainly because I started with hair too short to twist. I didn’t notice any difference 🤷🏽♀️. Both sets were very healthy and disrespectful lol. I think it’s more about hair health and use of products than how you start them. I get what she is saying about the comb, but it’s literally only used once then never again.
Love your video. I think the way that you start locs kind of depends on your natural texture too. I happen to have very tight coils in my hair and it is VERY difficult to comb when it is loose, say after a wash. I started locs twice in my lifetime using the comb coil method and it worked really well for me. I could see it not working out for a person with a looser curl texture. Based on what you said though, if I ever decide to start my locs again, I think I might try the two strand twist method and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for the suggestions!
This video is so helpful to me, thank you a lot. Blessings and continue to do great videos.
My starter locs look like his😍 I’m 2 weeks in!
Im just starting my loc journey from waves lol i got a long way to go but i.can wait to get this length im going to start with 2 years!! #blessed
That eye contact was strong. I felt like he was looking at my soul. 🤣 This video was informative.
Thank you sister. Started my locks a couple week ago. One strand twist. Hope to have healthy long locks soon
If I started locs I would have anxiety going to someone else but you 😪
Thank you for this video .. I help me a lot .. I’m 2 months in & was getting discouraged because of the thickness / budding ..
Thanks Yannie! Second time around starting my loc journey. And I knew exactly who I wanted and Needed to watch!
I am sooo glad that you have broken it down... If you put product in my hair I won’t be back. I saw a loctitian recently who put gel in..... it was so unnaturally itchy it needed to be washed out and there went the tightening. I prefer interlocking. No gel
Am l the only one, that noticed she stuck her finger through his new growth? Which is quite long. Wouldn't long new growth take place with any type of locs started? I mean, be they braids, two strand twists, or the comb coil? New growth of hair, will grow regardless. Not trying to be snarky, I am just trying to reason this thing out.
Hello, I am so glad I came across your post on RUclips. I just started my loc journey 3 weeks ago. And I am getting ready to wash my hair for the first time. I was going to use my silk elements shampoo and conditioner, but I saw your video and you said that all shampoo is not good for locs. Thank God I already have Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap, so I am going to wash my hair with that. I also was going to put gel on it to hold, but you recommended no product on your hair, so I will not, I will just oil my scalp and that is it. I have the 2 strand twists because that is easier for me. I just wish I had started this journey years ago, there is something that is so freeing going through this process. Plus it is something I can do myself and I can watch my hair as I go through this loc process. I have 2 nephews that have their hair locs in their hair. I don't know why, but it has boosted my confidence, I had my hair natural, but I had to put product on it to make soft like I wanted. It is also teaching me patience. I will continue to follow you. Thank you for your videos.
I'm learning so much from you, and your videos, Yannie. Thank you.
Another great video, with valuable information. Thanks Yannie!
Coils are better suited for 4c hair textures. My loctician put coils in my hair without a comb using only natural oils. After a month my coils were locked in and not one came out during the wash process. Only use natural oils and no combs.
My hair is very low density and fine textured so it pops easily even though it’s 4c
Your voice has a calming effect ❤️
I found your website first. Now I've landed on your youtube. 2 strand twist it is 👌🏾💚
Wish I had watched this before I did the coil twist last October. Oh well not sure what to do now. Thanks for sharing.
Trini to the bone! Yes sister! Shout out from Chicago! I knew u was a trini soon as I hear ya voice. Both my parents live in Arima. Power!
AM I correct in assuming that nothing in being put on the locs to lock it? Or ....
His Loc's look soo healthy & "Beautiful now.😊
I also grew up with plaits also so it still gets me to this day when people said they are getting braids and come back with plaits, haha.
Thank you for making this video. Common sense back into the freedom locs are suppose to be
