Forget corporate America! Time for us all to build our own and be able to rock our locs with pride and confidence! Great video!!
Factoiddddds!!! 🔥 I fully agree and support! I’m happy to work a job that’s coo with my hair but when it’s all said and done I gotta get it on my own!! ✊🏾
Wait I remember some of year earlier vids in the office and I reminds me of my workplace also. Google Seattle is cool with it but again we do still need our own bc they can switch it up at anytime to sanitize the work environment... Just saying.
Right is why I’m dying my locs bleach blonde

😂”salad and crouton locs”😂 no way bro
Skinnnnteee 😂😂😂
🤣
This!!! 😹😹😹😹
ua-cam.com/video/NXG5rWP9rqk/v-deo.html !!!!
I have that for lunch like everyday. 😭
“I like my Locs how I like my women” This brotha gets it! Haha ✊🏾 ( I just started my Locs I have 30 so I assume they’ll be pretty thick )
yup i got 25 high top
Not “salad and crouton” locs . I’m 10 seconds in laughing 😂
Them skinteees lol
TP locks I know what you mean, the cardio locs, no weight lifting 😂
That was hilarious 🤣
@@MsUndeniable12 😅😅
@@MsUndeniable12 HAHAHAHA
Thick lockers look like they low key have supernatural powers. I mean...🔥🔥
Great video Bro!!✌
This is mad facts! They be looking like they got powers!!
Ur dreads lowkey have a juice wrld vibe. Rip jw 1year already😞
I've had 3 sets of locs in my lifetime. I had to learn from the first set to the current. I don't judge but I will never do skinny locs again...EVER! I ended up combining and went from 188 locs to currently 28 thick locs! I semi-freeform and I love the volume of the new growth, not having to feel as though I need to keep them manicured/neat all the time, no product with twist and build-up issues, and the care-free routine of wash and GO! Big ups to your page bro!
same
Don’t look as good
I’m gonna combine mine thick locks better gives more volume imo less time retwisting
I just started my locs and I have 83 total and they're semi thick!! Right now they're sticking up everywhere and I like it cause I like the wild look like Dragon Ball Z type look 😍!! Anyways....love your content....I laughed only 10 seconds into it.....enjoy your weekend 🤗
Dbz is about us
How are your dreads doing 🤔
Hyteller pretty good tbh....
Old comment but like how fast do they seem to grow? Or lengthen? I'm wanting to start mine but my hair is pretty short right now and just curious if I should wait I guess.
😭😭
“I like my locs like I like my women..” yessirr 💀💀
Lol
“Like she was raised on grits and chicken 😂”😂😂😂😂
How I like it haha
I got thicker locs. Only 50 on my head. I agree when they are shorter, they can look a bit scalpy, but the payoff once they hit bra strap length or longer, whew! They just look so stunning in my opinion. Sort of like when you get box braids. Just very flattering. But when they're short.... it's rough lol. Especially when you're just starting out and they're too short and thick to style and hide the starter loc frizz (which is easier for thin locs).
I know your comment is old but you just stopped me from combing out my thick locs. They are shorter and looking scalpy but ima power through it
@@maiyaaustin9406 so glad I was able to help! I’m just past the 2 year mark of having thick locs and I have no regrets! I started them when I was basically bald (1-2 inches of hair) and now they are just past my shoulders. I love them so much. I’m able to put them in some cute and flirty style and honestly they just suit my personality and personal style so well. Don’t give up! It was so tough in the beginning, but they definitely thickened out by month 8 and have gotten even thicker ever since. Stay strong!
thick locs are the best. i have thick locs for the most part. tp locks back at it again with another banger tho 💯💯💯
Thanks fam! I’m trying!! 🔥🔥 and I agree!
5 seconds in and i'm already laughing
We winning then! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I chose thicker locs, when I started my loc journey, almost a year ago now, based on the different textures my hair has - I thought having thicker locs would give it a fuller look. I don't have fine hair, but it's not the thickest ( so maybe not cheese grits and chicken, but more like baked chicken and a side salad, maybe? 😂😂😂) anyway, I like how they are forming, for the most part, but I don't regret the size I chose. I just hope I can achieve the chunky loc look I am after. Great video!
Usually avoid many retwist, and Avoid hairstyles that can weaken your roots (Updo, Bun, Slick back low ponytail) and styles that do it like (Two strand , Barrel twist) you can still get all those just limit how often you get them and don’t constantly twist your hair throughout the day that leads to roots weakening due to them getting thinned out.
The thickness of my dreads are determined by the thickness of my hair. I have plenty hair but its not thick, but am really happy with mine. I have enjoyed the journey getting there and the dread community is so chilled and inclusive. 💖
Some of my locs are thin and some are thick. I get both 🤷♂️
Same!
Me too. I like it though adds more character
Me to
Same
I am ready to start my loc journey, I’ve been thinking about it for 2 years now and I think I am ready to move forward in my journey. This video was very informative.
Love this video. I have thick locs along with some medium size locs. I do not have straight parting and I love it. All locs are beautiful and the versatility of our hair is beautiful. I do not regret this journey.
LOL u are sooo funny!! Yup thick locs is something to admire.. I have 55 locs. 4 months in im lovin it!
I just started my locs this morning and I will go back in three weeks for my first shampoo and re-twist wish me good luck on my journey!!!!
How often should a person go for retwist?
@@California-king every 2-3 months
Damn TP, I love how your locs lay. Keep the positive and helpful content coming !
I love your videos , very informative. Also you're very easy on the eyes. Keep giving them to us.
This video just convinced me to keep my loc count at 46.
I just started my loc journey 2 weeks ago and I have 46, but I was thinking of splitting a few to get either 50 or 52. I will definitely keep what I have!!
I have smaller locs, but I hate retightening lol. I just love seeing my new growth. But I agree, thick locs are pretty dope 🔥
Mine are on the medium to thin side but I’m definitely gonna Freeform once they get longer just so they can get thicker! 🔥
You giving me a real lesson on how to do loc videos how to approach. Thanks keep going I'm learning
I agree thick locs do look dope! Not to put shade on my people with thin locs though all locs are beautiful!
Thanks for this video. I’ll be getting locs soon and I’m trying to decide the size and the pattern . Please do a video on drying your locs.
You’re hilarious man 🤣 2 month loc journey and it’s been great
I don’t even have locs, but I love the way you explain them👍🏿!
And TP a real one! He responded to a question I had in the past thru IG but I deleted my IG for personal growth reasons, real humble guy appreciate you og salute
I’m always happy to help family! It’s tough balancing my father duties but I try my best! 🔥✊🏾
TP locks salute & respect
Those opening comments ...Yassss King!!♥
They gotta know where I stand lol
Thin Locs can become something amazing like for example juice wrld
Juice wrld had thick ones......in the beginning he did but when he stopped getting retwist they started getting thick and combing
@@overdriveking9811 do you mean head thin or thick
@@tspopstar512 thin ones in beginning then became thick
He didn’t have thin locs
Nle choppa kinda has smaller locs I think
Man I wanted my job to say something when I started my locs last year! I had some "looks" and "so are you going to let your hair out soon?". Nope. I am in management in healthcare. I have 68 locs because I wanted them on the thick side. Because hair in my crown is thinner, I couldn't get them started as thick as I really wanted because I hate the scalpy look. But if I say so myself, my babies are looking really good now that I am at my year mark as of last week.
Thanks for this info! I also prefer thicker locs. I'm looking forward to mine thickening up... I'm only one month in.
One month in is exciting! Enjoy the process! They’ll be thick in no time! 😁
This is my exact question. Thanks for answering it
Happy to help! 😁
LMBO...I can't with you 🤦🏾♀️ you're hilarious!
It’s the “I love my locs like I love my wife” yesss that energy !! Lol and I’m dying at “salad and crouton locs” 😂😂😂😭
I have my starter locs rn, ive had them for about 2 months and its coming along pretty nice. My hair was already a decent length when i decided to get locs so my starter locs are at my eyes already lol. Great vid, Keep up the great content!
Great info. ❤️ thank you! Love the vibe and the delivery! I just started the journey about two weeks ago. Comb coils
Hope it’s going well.
Love your videos! They just awesome....
These are mad helpful! Thank you 😂
Learning so much, and laughing my ass off doing it. I appreciate you g👍🏿😂
I just ate some cheese grits for breakfast before watching!!🤣 Thin locs will now and forever more be called "salad and croutons locs"!🤣 Which are beautiful, so no shade as you indicated!
My 1st journey started with 175 locs. By year 12 I had combined down to 50.
This set I started at 68. Now at 2.5 years in I'm down to...50! Thick locs for me! Though I miss doing some of the styles I could do with smaller locs. But I love the 30 minute maintenance time! Drying? I wash early in the day and use a *microfiber* towel. Not only is it best at absorbing water, it's also lint free. Anyway, another good one fam!
On a side note, when did we get to 17k?!!
i cannot stress enough how much i love your content lmao
I’m grateful for your support Gina. I still get nervous before I make a post so it’s comforting to know you rock with the content! 😁
I'm new to your channel I just started my loc journey on sep 4th and I love them
real as hell, funny as hell, informative as hell. subscribed
That hair style is tough💪🏾
Ya'll tryna get them dread go freeform.
Every freeform has its different style of looks.
Thick locs are so gorgeous, but mine are thin. Just got starters today and hoping a year from now that I'll have a bit more volume, but right now I'm happier with this size than I anticipated 😄
How will they get thicker? Will you combine them?
Watching your channel mad me start my dreads today homie 💯🔥 keep going much love
I love both styles but I have thin dreads about a year in, and I love them!!!
It’s a year later and your video still helped, thank you 🙏🏽
YESSIR I REQUESTED IT... MY BOAAA🔥🔥🔥‼️
I gotchu fam! 🔥🔥🔥
This guy 😂😂😂 hilarious, good vid ✊🏿
The “salad and croutons locs” got me though! 🤣
Notification gang! But busy wife, teacher and mom of 3 boys! Thanks for another great video!
I appreciate you for checking in family! Especially with the demands of 3 boys and motherhood! You’re busy!!! Thanks for stopping by! 😊
Good video TP Locks. Keep doing yah thing!
Thanks family! 🙏🏾
I just started mine. I just grabbed snd go and I have different sizes. I’m trying to lock the roots now but no clips. These were all finger twisted 🥴 some of the locks in the back are thinner but if I take care of them hopefully they will be all good ? I wanted to get them done but didn’t have that as an option my gut said no. So I know my parts are all over the place. Still in love with them tho. And we haven’t even locked yet lol 😂 ❤️ I love this process. Can’t stop learning about it. And I LOVE grits glad to have found you lmao 😂
I don’t know how many locs I have but I think it’s around 60 ( I also have a male cut that subtracts around 20-30) my locs are medium thickness. I pretty much love them and the go with my style. Oh and your locs look great!!!
Intro 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏿
That intro 🤦🏽♀️😂😂😂😂 bruh I absolutely love you
You should do a video on having dreads in the work place. Like what styles can you do with dreads to make them more professional.
Got the hoodie this week big dawg! Good shit
Bruh I seen in the video before last family! I been meaning to send love but got caught up with the little one! I appreciate ya bro!! 🔥🙏🏾
I had thought about having Micros or regular locs.
I'm glad I have the regular locs¡!
Really can't wait to get them starter locks. I'm trying take in as much information as can first.
Same I didnt know anything about dreads until watching like 20 of his vids. I have a lot of hair and I'm scared of how my hair will turn out because Idk a thing about dreads and what to do.
i snorted so loud because i laughed so hard at the “salad and cruton locs” 😂😂
You been real active lately it’s not a grind when you love it❤️❤️❤️❤️
Facts!
Nice pfp
I like your intro 🔥🙌🏾! But yeah thicker locs aren’t really acceptable for the workplace, I hope this will change, I kinda mentioned this in a video that will be uploaded next Thursday.
I love all sizes but I like small locs on myself. More versatile and it's easy to put box braids, passion twists and faux locs if i want thicker locs for a bit
Banger 🔥
🔥🔥✊🏾 thanks fam!
Not salad and croutons 🤣🤣🤣 love your videos!
Well spoken 🤴🏾. #ThickLocs 👌🏾#ONEfamily
Thank you very much 😊
i tried to do small traditional locs lol omg i thought my hair was thin. y'all my dreads thick. i probably have 85 too.. they thicker than his. i'm like ohhhh!!!!! idk
Good video dude
It’s the vocabulary for me👌🏾
That’s that Hbcu education 😁 thanks you!
Im 6 months in, I've uploaded my video, i think they will be medium!!great video
I'm growing locs now doing braid locs I'm going for medium locs. I don't care what people think, locs is part of my culture.
Good morning TPLOCS & Happy Easter🙏🏽thank you for another great video. Don’t let your wife hear you saying, you like thicker set women🤣🤣🤣😂I like your locs, I think that’s the medium sized & more what I’m used to seeing. Skinny locs do suit some people, perhaps those with finer/softer hair. If I can get my locs to look something like yours, that will be my prize🙏🏽. I had my first shampoo in 4 months and it wasn’t as traumatic as I was dreading🤣I don’t really have enough sight to see my locs, but my loc tec lives 5 mins away so that’s cool. I’m locked & budding so that’s cool…I couldn’t have got this far without your videos though. Believe it or not since George Floyd & the news surrounding that. Black people in the UK have really stepped up & we are seeing more black people on tv now. We have at least 3 tv broadcaster/journalist. Reading the news etc with locs, can you believe that, I never thought I’d see the day. Growing up, it was mainly Rastas & reggae musicians that you saw with locs and they were usually wild & all over the place. Wishing you & your family well & your subscribers too. ONE💖🙏🏽
Great vid got me laughing off bat😂😂
"Its dat splat right there" lmao
This video will forever be funny lmao.
I have 75 locs with a nape undercut. This journey will be thick fun, son!!
😂😆 you are comedy sometime friend I'm team thicker than a snicker lol! Peace & Blessings ❤️💛💚
Thicker than cold oatmeal!! Lol 😂 thanks queen! 😅
My locs are very thick and my hair is very dense. It takes hours for my hair to dry. But I don't use any products when retwisting and I never dye them. I can't wear hats either lol. I been growing for 4 years and I love them.
Great topic bruh.
Thanks family! 🙏🏾🔥
TP locks I problem fam
Dat part on the " raised cheese grits" people 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
✊🏾
I love your videos ❤️
Thanks Sade! That means a lot!! Especially right now! Love your name btw! 😊
TP locks thanks😀😊
I like the thin Loc look
I started with thick locs (started 7 mos ago, had 96) and I love them they just stress my edges. I’m taking them down one by one and reinstalling them smaller (it’s a PROCESS!!! I’m combing out like three a night I feel like I’ll never make it to the end)
You can take locs out? Out to point where you can wear corn rolls?
That's hilarious that you got Justin Unloc'd, formerly known as Justin Locs, in there lol Nice video!
Another banger!!! I'm witchu on the grits and chicken locs. I have high tops, medium thickness and I often times think of thicker locs. You know what crazy tho, as my locs mature year over year. I really start to dig the constant transformations. I am 2 year years loc'd. #stayloc'd
I work in corporate America making 6figs. I have high top locs about the size yours. I don’t have any issues
I think of locs like trees if you have a thicker stronger tree it’s deeply rooted and is harder to fall, a thin one can be swayed and taken out easier
Thick locs ✊🏾 I'm 2 years in, 38 locs
TP trippin and wildin! 🤣🤣 I like my women thicker than frozen butter! But I do like medium locs. My starters are still progressing into my third retwist and I'm hoping mine come out similar to TP. Regardless #AllLocsMatter family! ✊🏿
Ayeeeeee I FEEEEL DAT ... I Told My Beautician I want mines Thick
I love thick locs. But I personally went with microlocs because my hair strands are fine and would not look thick at all. If my hair would look good with thick locs, trust me, I would have done it a loooonnnngggg time ago
gj ON 14K YAYAYAYA
Thanks fam! That’s all thanks to the loc family!!! 🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥
Now I want some cheese grits lol. I plan to get my (medium sized) locs installed this week.
