    This is sooooo accurate , I loc’d bc I got tired of doing my loose natural hair .

      @rachelking2754 Год назад +3

      Same, doing my hair almost every other day or every week was waaay too exhausting

  • @Geechee_Chick

    I feel like another pro(coming from someone who doesn't have locs) is that your hair grows faster. You're not experiencing any breakage from combing your hair often so you get to actually see that length.

    • @CULTUREszn
      @CULTUREszn Год назад +1

      It doesn’t grow faster. If you’re not retaining left as a lose natural stop being rough on your hair

    1000000 agree lol especially with the “weird stereotypes” not everybody with locs are into that stuff. Btw what type of bristle brush? And I locd my hair because I was tired of doing it lol

    • @THEREALCHOLEY
      @THEREALCHOLEY  2 года назад +20

      lol I be like iight chill 😂 but I got mine from the beauty supply store. I use a soft bristle brush for my edges and a medium hard brush for the length of my locs.
      & no fr it’s so convenient lol

    New subscriber. I’m just at my two year mark and still avoid pros and cons videos because I think still, maybe I made the wrong decision. BUT I agree with you 100%, I regret that I don’t have more locs but my hair is thin and not dense at all. Me and my locs are beautiful. I’m looking forward to more growth and flourishing 🙌🏾

    Cons people telling me I need a retwist especially black men 🤷🏾‍♀️ I get my locs retwisted every three months because I want my edges in the beginning of my loc journey I would always hear your locs are nice but you need a retwist this is coming from people that doesn't even have locs it has gotten better since I had them for five years now and they are mature people don't really say anything negative anymore except for last year this patient gonna say you can do better with your hair she almost got cussed out she lucky I was working I'm no longer a phlebotomist thank God seems like I would always get negative comments from older people..I remember this guy gonna ask me when I first got my locs am I rasta i was like no 🤷🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

    • @ebbie0074
      @ebbie0074 2 года назад +2

      I feel you. I’m phlebotomist too. I’ve been loc for 2years now. I just annoy people comments but is hard. But since been growing they don’t have much to say.

    It took me 15 days to comb mine out. I will restart my journey. I took mine out because the size wasn't what I wanted. I didn't want to have two headed dragons so I chose to comb out so I can reset. I was amazed how long my hair actually was. When I first started I did have long hair. To my arm pit. I kept two years and combed out and my hair was to my hip!

    @ashlynprather45 Год назад

    Sadly I’m still a product junkie but I’m slowly getting out of that… I still hate wash days but now it’s the heaviness now and my locs are still short, almost to my neck and retwists dont even last a week.

  • @jaylenwilliams3739
    @jaylenwilliams3739 2 года назад

    ur locs are amazing but i have a question, i’m 3 months into my loc journey and my basketball season is about to start, i was wondering if u think my locs will shrink after my games because i used to have twist and they would always shrink a ton after , jus wanted to see what u think!

  • @tonyaedwards172

      Just combed mine out so I can redo with a few more locs. I initially had 42, going for around 60. I LOVE my hair loc’ed! Being a loose natural for the last 5 days has been…. NO!
      Can’t wait to restart my journey!
