    Hey loc fam, I'm back with a quick video this time. Lately, I've been feeling like I'm in the awkward phase of locs! I'm hoping this encourages anyone who's going through the same thing right now. :)
    P.S.: Peep the new word I made up lol!

    Helping people like me who jut started their loc journey! I’m only a month and a half in and I was really starting to get worried looking at my baby locs wondering if I had done anything wrong but knowing they look just like yours really brings me peace. Thank you ❤

      @@michaeladdavis Really? I was going to start today. What made it hard?

    • @michaeladdavis
      @michaeladdavis 5 лет назад

      Well my locs have been wanting to unwravel, which is normal. And I’ve been experiencing dry scalp which has made it harder for me to maintain them without washing often. But I have not once regretted my decision to start. It’s hard, but the pros of having them completely outweigh the bad. So don’t be discouraged, I say start them:)

    This made me feel so much better about my locks. I’ve been locking for about a month and not gonna lie sometimes I feel self-conscious and ask why I even started trying to lock my hair. But to have someone say it’s natural makes me feel so much better. Thank you!

    That was like therapy for me regarding my locs just now! Everyone who is newly locd and have short ones should watch and keep this!! Including me! I’m at the stage where some days I like them some days I don’t lol and I have the budding everywhere so they are all bumpy….again sometime I like it sometimes I don’t. Overall I’m comfortable but sometimes I’m just not. But after watching this, for one you normalized some of the things I worried about so I now know it’s not just me, but also you made it clear I should love everything about them! All the time! 🙌🏾 thank you!!!

  • @ariel5841
    @ariel5841 6 лет назад +44

    I’m 3 months locd and different parts of my hair are in different stages. Some just look like day old coils, some seem to be starting to form a bud and others just look like a ball of frizz lol. But overall I love my hair and can wait for it become fully locd.

    Sis, when I tell you that I have one loc that's budding & being way more disrespectful than the rest..... it's in the back of my head & literally looks like testicles growing out of both sides out of my loc....😳 I've been trying to palm roll it in a failed attempt to straighten it out...... it just ain't working😂. I'm gonna weather this storm tho. Your video inspired me to do so🤦🏾‍♀️🥴❤

    I’m 2 months in of having locs I just took my locs out of a style and washed them but now some of my hair in the back is bigger then the rest is it budding or just puffy because I’ve washed my hair before and it never got big and puffy like this😳😬

    • @JaninePatrice
      @JaninePatrice  5 лет назад +2

      Puffiness is part of the process! Once your hair starts to loc, it can get a bit puffy for a little while before it turns into the size of what your locs will be when they are mature. Puffiness contributes to budding. Hope this helps!
