Most people talk about it as if it is something that needs to be fixed. But i loved when yannie the locologist explained it as having a birth mark and is something that does not need to be fixed. But to each its own i guess. Im going to embrace my bumpy, curly, lumpy babies. Beautiful locs!!

    This is such welcomed information. My hair looks a lot like yours. The fatties (my buds) are entertaining and they all have their own personalities. I’m 7 months in and everyday I give them a little pep talk and I’m so proud of them. I don’t want to over-product them because I’m not washing as much as I would ordinarily. I’m finding tea tree sprays between wash days are helpful and rose water and a light oil are working for scalp and locs. Thanks for sharing.

    What a wonderfully well-rounded video on the topic of what to expect within the first year or so of one's loc journey.
    I had locs for seven years. I cut them off for deeply personal reasons. I am currently growing out my hair again to restart my locs.
    I am genuinely excited about the prospect of regrowing my locs since I learned so much both through my own experience and through the study of locs and of hair (specifically afro hair) in general.
    I consider myself somewhat of a loc veteran, although there is always room to learn more. One thing that I have learned is that what happens to me on the inside (my internal environment) is at least as important as what happens on the outside. That is - my dietary choices, the degree to which I keep myself hydrated, my overall physical wellness, and my mental/emotional health. All of that is as significant as washing, oiling the scalp, moisturizing, covering the hair at night, etc.
    Much Respect and Much Love to you! Thank you for this video! 💛🙏💛

    As a male this video helps me a lot. I been watching all types of videos on what to do and not to do or how to do it. I'm about 8 months in with my locs. I like how you breakdown on how your hair grows and what to expect. Other videos don't give you good details. For me since I didn't have long hair I started from scratch and had a taper. I love how my has progressed. And I didn't go to a stylist I did it all myself.

    this vid is making me feel better. i just looked thru my camera roll and i definitely dealt with frizz in the beginning of my first set, i'm just forgetting all that and romanticizing when they were mature. i am going to stop messing with my hair and just let it grow! it'll mature! it'll get less frizzy over time! i know it cus i lived it, i just have to be patient and stop messing with it. thank you for this vid ❤

This is the first time i have gone 2 months without getting it retwist. I also sweat in the head, especially when I wear my bonnet. Makes me wonder if i did the right thing. But i do love the freedom

      @@HerbNLocs I did this braid method where you braid the hair at the top and the end of the hair braids up too( think don’t separate the three strands) and then when the two braids meet in the middle you flip the end through the little hole. Sooo hard to explain. But that kept my braids in without a rubber band. I also saw a RUclipsr who thought that the frizzier your hair naturally is, the faster the braid pattern will disappear. So I have it a try! My hair is super frizzy and I really don’t think most people can even tell I started with braids.

Thank you for making this video, it has made me feel better and more confident. It's definitely a journey but I'm glad I started it. I know this is from a few years ago. Subscribed and thank you!

    That's the beauty of wearing your hair natural any style you want goes. I'm constantly trying new products some work good some great some I have no idea. Tropical roots growth oil, wild growth oil, peppermint oil, pumpkin seed seed oil are a few favorites. Always use sulfur 8 weekly especially for sides that start thining. I retwist whenever I feel like it and have a lot of new growth. For the summer a friend interlocked my hair cause I go swimming a lot and it's holding up wonderfully

    Honey you just inspired this ol’ lady to go ahead & do this! I’ve been pondering whether my salt & pepper, loose natural hair would “lock”. I’m now prepared for the adventure! 🧗🏽‍♀️
    We all have wonderfully different textures, so our individual Loc journeys will be our own~to embrace. There’s no “ugly stage”; it’s only in the minds of those who fail to appreciate. So thanks for the encouragement & the useful tips.🥰
    I’m not a fan of using unhealthy products, nor manipulating my hair~except for herbal shampooing, conditioning/moisturizing. Silk scarves/bonnets/headbands will still be used.
    I use natural light oils, like jojoba on my scalp, already.

    Yes can't do high ponytail's, my ends have curved some of them. Have a few that have grown that way. I'm also super tender headed.
