Good morning this is the second or third time I’ve watched your video I love Your hair last night I started my locks again maybe this is about the fifth or sixth time I’ve started I’ll keep them In for a couple of days the longest I think I went was a month and then I took them down and start again and started again this time I’m going to keep them in and you said embrace your loc’s loc’s are suppose to grow whatever way they grow and they look the way they look and thank you for telling me to keep my hands out of my hair. my thing is I don’t know how to wash my hair I’m scared if I wash it I’ll take it down I’m not at the time right now to go to a loctician or someone to wash my hair I’ve been off work since February with a broken foot it’s not healing like it supposed to so I said I can do this sit here and embrace my lock’s so I just want to tell you thank you and keep doing what you’re doing and keep embracing your life journey because you are very beautiful with your loc’s and I want to get there too I’m going to get there so keep encouraging me the way that you do
Thank You~ Robin
I just started my locs 7/28/22 and I really appreciate your video of what to do and not do. I didn't know about putting oil in my hair, keeping my hands out of my hair and the wig cap way of washing my hair. I'm going over to IG to follow you and check out your products. Keep up the informative videos my beautiful sister 🥰
Hello Courtney by my hair being short can I start my locs by twisting with my fingers
Can u help me I'm a week in so far I love the journey but not sure on the care of them yet
I am in month number 9 of my loc journey. My "ONLY" regret is that I didn't start this journey years ago.
Same here! Loving it
Love to hear that!!
I know I'm not a loctician but I know for a fact that oil does not moisturize, it seals moisture in. Moisture needs to happen often (3 or 4 times a week) and moisture comes from water. Wetting your hair often keeps your locs moisturized and a lightweight oil will seal that moisture in. I'm surprised locticians are still telling people not to wet their locs. I hope that "advice" quickly fades out like beeswax lol .... dry locs is counter productive. But I love your locs and your nose ring and you're absolutely beautiful. Much love
Steam is good.
you’re completely right! I wish she made that clearer
Yeah because I just got locs 12-18-2021 and they told me to only use water for 4 weeks just oil & my scalp is itchy , locs merging and dry. I look a hot mess. I came from being a natural. This is definitely a journey. Especially finding out what works for my hair
Oil doesn’t “seal” because water evaporates. Also, oil and water don’t mix applies to one one’s hair as well.
That’s should’ve common sense… like a plant 🌱 you water it for it grow
Started my locs 2/21 and I love it so far. The first time I’ve felt like myself.
Yes! I felt a very similar feeling! Like THIS is what my hair was made for!
@@CourtneyGrayton Thank You so much for the advice. I just started my loc journey. Yes, I'm having emotional struggles with the not so cute stage. I'm all about the cute Do. I'm about 4months in and waiting for the "cute" to set back in... TTYL
Yes, it's a beautiful thing! Self acceptance
Started today June 21 2023
Thanks for this. My Sun started locks this year…after asking for two years. I finally agreed after he turned 10, but I’m clueless! He does go to a lock-tician but I do want to be more educated about locks so that I can support him through the process. 💙 He loves his little locks and I love that he loves them.
Thank you so much for the information. I was ecstatic to see your locs were about the same length as mine so your information resonated with me more than other video's I've watched. I started my loc journey May 19, 2021 and my hair was about 3" long. I've had my 1st wash/retwist at my stylist but I want to learn how to wash and care for them when she's not available. My scalp is also very sensitive and I can't use coconut, olive or tea tree oils so imagine how excited I got when your video had no recommendation for their use! Thank you again for sharing your professional insight and information.
I’m about 6 weeks into doing locs and I’m pretty clueless, so this is pretty informative. Thank you so much!
I love your commentary, I am two into my journey I am loving it already Thank you .
Just started mine 11/30, I binged watched some of your videos the day before. So glad I did. Made me more comfortable and confident in my decision.
U have made me comfortable about this journey. Blessings!!
I started my locs yesterday and your loving words mean so much to me. I was scared that I’d hate the look of short starter locs on me, but I’m really embracing it and loving this stage in my journey🥰
Congrats on starting your loc journey! That is so good to hear. Thank you for watching this my video and engaging!
How’s your journey going? I wanna get starter locs like yesterday 😭😩
how’s your journey going? i cut my locs off like week ago and i restarted them tdy. i was going to wait like a year or so bc i’ve never had to go thru the short loc stage and i was scared of how it would look on me , but i’m embracing it.
me too.I love my locks :)
I really like this video and answered my question from a previous video I watched. Here I go to embrace my journey. Thanks!
This video was very informative !!! Definitely going to binge!😊I just started my loc journey on 4.19.21! 😌

At my 7 months mark and my locs are budding. I agree to definitely take pics of your baby locs week by week coz I did. My hair has changed since I put them in and I can't believe it! 😃 I keep staring at them seeing how much they've changed. I am also covering my teenage budding stage. 💓
That’s awesome congratulations
Your voice and your words just calmed me the hell down and now to embrace my journey I love my frizz I do not need a retwist embrace the frizz ❤
Girl... luvvvv your vid! Your hair looks GREAT & HEALTHY! And, good books in your collection by the way!

Hey Queen! I JUST started mine yesterday! Like did my own, starting with the twists, this is Definitely going to be a journey! 💫🥰
Have they locked at all and how long did it take
I don't know what your locs look like right now, but in this video they look so pretty! I was always scared my hair would stick up and look weird but now I see with confidence it could be so pretty. I love how you wear your locs. This is so nice to see! Thank you Courtney!!
Thx you for this video I just started my loc journey 4/26/21 and I’m super excited ,my hair is super curly so I’m all about knowing the dos and don’t .
Good advice!! Started my journey with the comb coil method on July 2017 by my loctician, best decision ever!
That's awesome! Congrats and welcome to the loc'd team! I hope you enjoy your journey and if you ever have questions, feel free to ask!
I am on my 7 week journey, I got a retwist done on week 6. I am.loving it so far. My hair is budding already. I have soft hair and I am totally surprised that they are budding already 🙂🙃
I just got my locs and I love them. This video was so helpful. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure! Congrats on starting your journey! 💚🥺
Thank you so much this information. I know I cannot do those tight 'snatch' styles as you described. I love you starter locks. And those gold earrings-and your style overall.
Thank you! ♥️
Thank you for this video! I’m in week 3 of my loc journey and I’m loving every minute of it. 😊
It’s my pleasure! & congrats on starting! ♥️
I notice you commented this so long so ! How is the journey coming along ?!
I can tell you know what you’re doing. Very direct and very informative! Definitely going to be my go to info source!
Thanks so much!! I’m excited to share more!
I started my loc journey on 12-26-20 and this video really helped. Thank you🤍
I started my locs nov of 2021 with the extensions and i cut them out and now im watching my hair flourish and grow but this video definitely did help
I just restarted my journey 5/6/21. I was locked (professionally) for 4yrs (2014-2018). I cut them from poor self maintenance & medications. My texture changed from 4b to 3c and fine. I self started this time with 2 strand twists. This journey is waaaaay different. Patience is a learned virtue. Lol! I'm praying for a better result.
Love your video ❤ You're so adorable 😍 I started my locs 2 years ago and I absolutely love them. I started locs on my daughter a few months ago and she LOVES them too. Great information and wonderful energy. New Subscriber 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you ☺️♥️
Just had mine yesterday, thank you so much for the information.
I just started my locs journey two days ago 🙂... your words are helpful.
Very encouraging video. I started my Loc journey June 17 2020. I am learning so much about myself my strengths as far as worrying about what people think. I let me hair do what it’s going to do I find myself smiling and loving myself.
Your comment just made me so happy! I’m glad it encouraged you. Comments like this is why I do what I do! This journey is such a rewarding one 🤲🏾
I'm coming up on 2 years locd in June and locing my hair was THE best decision I've made
I think it was the best for me too! Can’t wait to start again 😬🙌🏾
Started my journey 2 weeks ago.. ♥️ Thanks for the video!
You look beautiful. I will be starting my loc journey next week. Thank you for sharing this. I feel at ease now.
Thank you for this video! I just started my loc journey today (7/31/21). I've been natural for 12 years but this is the first time doing starter locs. I have patience but I am truly praying for patience throughout this journey. I'm heading over to IG to follow you there as well😊
I'm so glad I found your channel 😍😍😍thank you for your knowledge queen...HAPPY LOCn to all the newbies, I just started my journey yesterday 😊😀❤
Congrats!
Thank you. Very informative I started my journey almost 6 months ago. Your tips are great.
Thank you so much for your honesty and advice.
Yayyyyy this is my sis!!! She is BEYONDDDD about this natural hair life 😍
Thank you sissss!
Can’t wait for my consultation with you tomorrow! So much great information and energy here!
🥰🥰🥰
Just started my locs and then found your page and love each one of your videos. You give straight forward, great advice. Not to mention you seem incredibly kind!
Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥹 and thanks for supporting my channel. I’ll keep the videos coming!
Your breakdown and how you simplified the info is great thanks
My pleasure! 💓
Hello. I am in my 3rd week of locs, she done the two strand twist and had to loc them at both end, but I am over trying to deal with hair all the time. I enjoy you already, thank you sis. 🤗🤗
Mine are the same but not locked at the ends. Is that so they don't come unraveled? Or is there some other benefit?
Started mine 12-23-20. I wash and retwist every 4weeks and it has been beneficial. Usually I let my locs be free as possible, I only style on some weekends.
Congratulations on starting your loc journey! & that's perfect! your locs will thank you for that
Wow thank you for good advice 🙌🏿🙏 I appreciate it
Its been 10 months since my stylist started my dreads. I love it
Started my locs almost exactly 9 months ago. Def learned a lot along the way and still learning but I’d say I’m in a good place right now with my locs. Noticing the growth is by far the best part.
Yes it happens so fast and in spurts, it seems like. I love it! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the journey
Getting all the information I can before taking the leap onto this journey! Thank you sooo much!
My pleasure! I wish all the best for you on this beautiful journey!
@@CourtneyGrayton Awwww, thank you!
Thanks for the information. I just started my loc journey. I am very inexperienced. So your video is very valuable to me. Thanks for the oils to use.
Thank you for this video,it has helped me I’m only 6 months into my journey.
I got my locs 2-2 -21. This is going to be a journey ☺️
Congrats! I’m excited for you 🙌🏾✨ I hope my videos help you along this amazing journey!
@@CourtneyGrayton yes thanks
Congrats!! I’m starting today sis!!
Me too! Yay I started the same day with braids, how is your journey so far? ✨
2/11/21
I love your eye makeup so much
Thank you so much! 🥰 It’s my go-to so you’ll see it often lolol
Thank you for the great advice. By the way, I love your indiviual locs going different ways! It's very cute and unique!
Loc’d 3/20/22 ❤scalp started to itch a little a few weeks later. Glad I found ur video 😊
Enjoyed your down to earth, laid back style. Please provide a video on does & don’t of best oils.
I’m editing that video as we speak! Thank you so much for watching 💚
I’m 4 days in to my loc journey and this was very informative thanks for the tips
My pleasure! Congrats on starting!
I just started my locs a week ago, so I hear what you're saying so I have to stop wearing a hat to work and just embrace them. That is so hard for me but I am going to try. And I thank you
I just got my starter locs installed 2weeks ago. I am so grateful and happy I found your video. Thank you a lot! ❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome! Glad I could help
Thank you, Courtney! You were amazingly informative. I've been on my loc journey for about 6 years. I'm 51 and my hair has never been this long and healthy. I too enjoyed having my locs at the shorter stage. I just love the
"carefree" look. I'm still learning a lot about caring for my hair and I found your video to be insightful, educational and honest. I would like to learn more about the best oils to use for my hair as I have already purchased coconut and olive oil not knowing that they could cause more damage than good. Be Blessed.
Thank you so much! I can't wait to say I'm 6 years in, but I also LOVE this stage as well. Just embracing it all. I'll definitely create a video specifically about oils to use/not use. I appreciate the suggestion :)
In her video on best oils for locs, she rephrased what she meant about olive & coconut oil.
She basically said these 2 oils work better when mixed in with a more Lasting Carrier oil.
My sister has very thin hair. She swears by Olive oil.
But my hair is pretty thick; and Olive oil is nearly soaked in & ‘thirsty’ an hour or 2 after using it!! Similar results with the coconut oil.
See Courtney’s 2nd video about the best oils to use.
Again, they’re not bad, they’re just a bit too ‘lightweight to use on their own.
Started my locs today w/ Courtney!!!!!!!!!! 06/08/21 new journey !!
thank you! i started my loc journey 2/22. this information helps alot!
It’s my pleasure! So happy it’s helping people 💚
I just start my locs 4/28/2021 thank you for this helpful information Atlanta Georgia
I had my first set for 9 years, and you’re right, I didn’t like the baby phase, at all, but I loved, and missed the teen phase. But because I wanted to see my loose natural hair (hadn’t been loose natural since I was a child), I cut them off three yrs ago (Apr 2018), missed them, and restarted them on 10/20/21. Now I’m fully embracing the starter/baby phase.
I’m definitely going to be right back with you, enjoying the starter loc phase! Glad you can appreciate them this second time around ♥️
Started mine with 2 strand twist 5/23/21 and absolutely LOVE how my journey is coming along ❤️
Congrats on your journey 🙏🏾👌🏾
@@reihannahherring8605 thank you!!
I just got my 2 strand twist locs too on 2/9! I'm only one week into this journey.. I have so many questions! My loctician has advised a couple of things but I've hear so much contrary to the advise:
Newbie Loc Questions:
1. Prior to starting my new twist My hair was washed and conditioned and conditioner washed out no oil. I was told that I should have used a clarifying shampoo by another loctician. Tru or False?
2. Hair was interlocked at root, 2 strand twist at bottom. She used TGIN rose water which was a bit filmy to me and made my thick yet fine 4B,C hair extremely soft🥺. Some have unraveled.
3. Upkeep - She recommended that i spray the TGIN rose water for moisture and only oil scalp as needed not the hair yet since they are not matured yet?
If I'm not going anywhere, she says keep them in 2 french braids so I'm not manipulating the. Contrary to another who has told me that my hair should be loose so they can start forming locks?? True or false?
I'm so confused because I read so many different things and everyone says trust the process and enjoy the journey but since everyone's hair is different every stylist is different you just don't know.
I love this channel because there's a lot of good advice out here but I wanted to speak to someone whose locks are flourishing who have two strand twists.
I would love to chat further on Instagram if you have a channel and I can send you a picture.
@@seelykerr7690 what I’ve learned on my journey was to do what your locs want you to do!
YOURE BEAUTIFUL AND SO ARE YOUR LOCS! I STARTRD MINE A YEAR AGO AND IM LOVING THE JOURNEY!! THX FOR THE VIDEO.
Thanks so much!!! I’m glad you’re enjoying the journey. It’s such a fulfilling one ✨
@@CourtneyGrayton yes it really is☺
Hi,
Thanks for the advice... I'm very excited to start my loc journey today 03/25/22... I look forward to getting more advice from your videos...
Thank you- you have a sweet and compassionate spirit. I just started my Loc journey about 1 month in. I wish I had started last year. I have spent so much money on hairstyles.. Some days are hard but they are getting better. As a African American woman I’m proud of my hair and I’m looking forward to the journey No more artificial nails. Just me. On a side note. I’m Self-Employed, Home Based. - Come ON - y’all let’s do this!
Thanks for the motivation.
Congrats!!! I Love this self-love journey that you're on! I hope it's still going well
Great tips! Thanks for the info on olive and coconut oil. I’ve been using olive oil and my starter locs look a hot dry mess. 🤦🏾♀️
Thank you! And it’s my pleasure! I’m thinking about making a video specifically about oils not to use 🤔
I just started my locs today! 6/21/22 and I couldn't be more excited :)
Congrats on starting!
I started my loc journey this past February. Your words were very encouraging. I'm so excited!
Wonderful! I’m excited for you ☺️
Just started my 2 strand twists on 3/13/21. I immediately subscribed because of your personality, knowledge, and you just recently started your Locs. Thank you and I appreciate you sharing your expertise. Question: When your hair is long, which direction should the middle, front portion of the be twisted, forward or backward or does it even matter? Thanks.
2 years on how is your locs doing now?
Appreciate this video ^^ I'm starting my locs this Saturday and am doing finger coils myself. My scalp can be finnicky so going multiple weeks without washing is a challenge, as I usually wash once a week, but I'm going to try tea tree and peppermint oil, along with rose water to help.
I'm starting locs tomorrow how do you like them
@@moonhoneymami I love the way they look so far! Today marks day 2 for me. :) I'm going to document my locs journey on my channel and am recording my first video today. No pressure but feel free to follow along if you'd like to see the progression 😊
Courtney I love your vibe and your wisdom. I'm going to try starting my own, and your tips are priceless. Thanks for such a sweet disposition....
You are so welcome! It warms my heart to be received so well
Hi ! Following ya. I just started my locs this month & Yes good luck to everyone on this journey 😊
Your brows are so thick and beautiful. Thanks for this information. I'm approaching month 3; 2strand twists.
Thank you so much! My brows are my babies lolol how’s your journey going?
I'm dealing with a lot of locs trying to stick together . I have a bunch of stiff areas by my roots I assume it's budding. I have never slept without my bonnet 😁. I do need to find something to help with moisture . Otherwise it's going great.
I actually find that shampooing the locks help the process even faster. Shampooing it every 2 weeks at the beginning stage. That keeps the locks clean and the water helps it to bind together quickly. Also keeping it moisturized with water, and the oil locking in the moisture. Then after they mature getting a retwist every 4 to 6 weeks works fine depending on what the client likes. Of course no tight styles every visit. But hey it's our own journey and our clients. As long as their hair is healthy and they still have all of their hair strands and edges with no build up then it's all good!
Yup! I’m moreso and advocate of letting the hair do what it needs to do. My goal is not to “make the hair loc faster”. Typically those methods involve drying the locs out, which I will never suggest.
- i started my locs 8/11/2021, i’m ready for this journey !!
I just started my loc, so I thank you for the wisdom
It's my pleasure! Congrats!!
As a loctician you should also know you should never wear any loc jewelry or manipulate your starter locs at this stage is the most crucial. Just wanted to make that known as I've been doing research on my locs for many years. Also It can cause breakage, I waited at least a year before up dos and wearing loc jewelry I just found that it works best. Also for washing hair as "normal " to each is own everyone is different so it goes as a personal preference. Washing my hair works best for me 2-3 weeks with low manipulation and once a month retwisting in my early stages. Again to each is own. As the locs mature I believe less retwisting is better it strengthens and helps with less breakage also helps with thickening. Just some ideas I thought helped me definitely less is more. I've used oils essential oils and rose water and I love aloe vera gel as a retwist gel its less buildup they are all my best friend. Simple regimen is the key to hair growth and less damage. Health over looks! Light n Locs!🌤 Peace loc family 🙏🏽👊🏾
Always health over looks! Just as many of the other things you mentioned as “to each their own”, using loc jewelry is the same. I recommend very lightweight jewelry like the shell I have. A lot of the time, the heavier jewels won’t fit starter locs anyway. Thanks for your input. ♥️
@@CourtneyGrayton personally I don't use loc jewelry on my starter locs I wouldn't want to interrupt any locing progression that my hair is experiencing but I get it I used to on my first loc journey but this is my second loc journey and I decided to start a second loc journey for personally reasons,but I'm making sure on this journey I am having the upmost natural experience and excepting what ever how ever my hair wants to loc so you can say I'm semi free forming. I love the journey Blessings on your journey 🙏🏽
Love Light n Locs 🌟👊🏾💗
This is what I was looking for...my daughter and I just started our journey yesterday...I can't wait to be able to add a few pieces of jewelry 😍😍
Hello how are you? I am 3 months in my dreads journey can I wash my hair yet ?
@@npayne8770 yes!
So happy I found you! Starting my journey tomorrow🥰🧘🏾♀️🦂
Congrats!! I hope everything went well!
Love the video very informative 😊 your locs are beautiful. Could you go more into depth about the different oils for everyday use and other ways to moisturize
Thank you so much! I’m actually recording a video about that today ☺️
Hi, I'm definitely nervous but I'm doing some research on starting my locs but I have thin, fine hair. What lock type and parting style do you recommend?
Please do the oil video sis! Started my journey on 2-24-21. 💜
Will do!! Congrats on starting your journey!!
Ms. Grayton, I am very grateful for the time and knowledge you share with us. I asked about styles in starter locs before and understood clearly that it was ok. I want to be clear on the length of time ok to leave the style up? I was told I can leave it up until my next retwist in 4 weeks. I don't have to take it down at all. Just mist my scalp & hair daily and oil my scalp like once or twice a week in the style. She said a lot of the customers with starter locs & mature locs that get a style always do that. If they take it down it maybe a day before their appointment. But I don't have to she will. My 1st style was done the day of my install 6/29/22 and ended up being too tight for my nape area. By the 2nd day, it came down. But that loctician had told me to take it down after about 2 weeks to let my hair breathe a couple of weeks before the retwist. I just had my 1st retwist at the 6-week mark because my original loctician had issues with the salon and resigned. I was blessed to get in the salon and with the loctician I truly wanted to begin my journey with after that happened the day before my 4week retwist appointment. The reason for 1st retwists at 6 weeks this past Tuesday. So glad I have taken this step in my life. I loved my loose natural hair but as it got long it became a chore that was making me very unhappy.
These were great tips, thank you! Yes please can you make a video on oils and types of care routines ppl can follow? (How often to mist and how to understand/read what your hair needs and how often)
Hi! Thank you so much! Check out my video on oils here: ruclips.net/video/nsbRaZoeYBI/видео.html
