    I grew my locs for 4 years. They grew past the middle of bra. I’ve been on a spiritual journey and was no longer connected to them. It’s been 6 months and I’m ready to begin my new set as well! I’m a Loctician and you’re one of my favorite vloggers. I’m happy for your new journey

    I’ve done my own hair in the past, but have not been consistent because of time constraints. This is the FIRST self-twist (not re-twist) video I’ve seen where a person has used the methods I’d prefer. This has inspired me to put in the work to get my desired look. My hair is so coarse, and parting it in sections would really help me. Thanks for the tutorial. I’m so appreciative 🙏🙏🙏

  • @LoriXwasXHere
    @LoriXwasXHere 5 лет назад +20

    Good for you! Locs are such a commitment, you should have them how you want! I’m currently on my second set. The first time I just went to the first person I consulted with and they somehow got me to believe that my hair was too long do comb coils, so they started me with two strand twist. Which I ended up not liking for me because my hair is very thick and the locs were way bigger than I wanted. But my second set was done with comb coils and that gave me a lot more uniform and smoother locs. I think it’s just such a personal preference! But anyway, thanks for sharing, you’re beautiful as always!

    @jusme2266 5 лет назад +2

    ❤️ This... I have been low key considering restarting my locs. I like the way you did it with mindful intent.
    I'd probably start mine in a similar way where I give my hair a break and then get back into it. But I'm considering freeforming. My hair coils naturally and every time I wash my daughter's hair I admire how nice her curl pattern is as we have the same grade of hair.
    But good job sis. I'm interested to see where your new journey takes you.

  • @dina237
    @dina237 5 лет назад

    those are the same size and length of my starter locs however many years ago (like 12). I clocked in with ~250 locs which is like half the amount/twice the size of sisterlocs. Now, I have a lot of hair and little patience, I will not pretend, small locs are a chore... I'm envious of those who can go months washing only with no retwist. My fine hair will break under the tension of holding a loc. even a skinny one so i have to retwist gently.. But I think skinny locs are beauitful i truly love mine and you will love yours, just be warned this a very different journey (I also had chunky locs for 3 years, that was a breeze)
