    You got this! Your crown is coming along beautifully! Stick with it to trap your reward. Even washing every week can be drying. You’ll eventually master retwisting, too. Love your honesty and positive attitude!

    I got locs over 10 years ago now, dyed them and had to cut them, so I cut them myself into an A Bob 3 years ago . The restart was the BEST decision I've ever made, I had no idea my hair was so curly and beautiful after the years perms and weaves! I will never color my hair ever again. I love rollers and headbands and my hair is so beautiful now! Your hair looks so great!

    Aww you are beautiful and so are your locs, stay encouraged. I'm 9 yrs loc'd and my daughter is 3 yrs and she too had her ups and downs about her loc's but over all you will love them; continue watching videos on UA-cam, do Pintrest, IG online searches etc. just educate yourself as much as possible and enjoy the journey. I loved what you said in Ch 3 "it's been a ride" Speak positivity and love to yourself and crown🥰🥰🥰

    I’m gonna follow because I just got loced 4 days ago and I can really relate with what you are saying. I’m struggling with some perfectionism and feeling maybe some of my hair was not perfect divided or some and it’s really making me anxious but I’m just trying to embrace the process. Wish me luck 🍀 ❤

    No, I am thankful for finding the truly explanation I was looking for,i have been in the same struggle of fitting my idea of beauty where I relaxed my hair and basically ruined so decided cutting It and now I'm looking for to growing it to what it was before and thought locs could be a good investment ,it was really helpful thank you 💛💛

    Honestly I'm starting to hate weave and buying all this hair stuff. Smh I want my natural hair out so bad. I'm starting locs too and usually feel ugly without long hair extensions but smh I have to face myself and deal with it. Lol but it's worth it. Having locs teach you alot. Patience , to accept youself, to not care so much what others think. It makes you comfortable in your own skin
