    I always tell folks I’m gonna get locs. Then I always shave my head and get waves. Watching you go through so many styles has been entertaining, educational, and hilarious because your patience is unmatched 😂

      From a 15 year waver and now that I have locs I’m so glad I finally had the patience to let it jus grow the trick is find a hair style during the mini fro stage that you look good in for me it was 2 strand curls until I felt like it was long enough to my liking and it’s been 3 years and 3 months and now I don’t think I will ever cut them or at least ima go 10 years

    I used to watch you when i was young and always wanted dreads but got straight hair, fast forward 3 felonies 5 times locked up, and a year in prison i got chin length dreads n i fw em heavy. Took a while to get to this point, this is my 3rd time doing em, went from 118 to 29 now like 60 somthing. Its definitely possible, just depends on how willing you are to stick with the long ugly stage and maintain them more😂

    I’m a quarter Nigerian with verrrry curly hair and I’m really inspired to start my dread journey now bc my curls are 14 inches stretched, so shrinkage won’t be tooooo bad when dreading. Your channel is soooo helpful. Trying to go for full locks on the bottom and only dreaded roots on top to still have some curls cascading on top. Do you think this would look cool or should I just do full on locks all over? All opinions welcomed PLEASE!! I have 3c hair for reference.

Butbelieve me, after a small while of having them, you won't even think about it because your locs are YOUR OWN and it doesn't matter as long as you love your hairs. Happy Journey, Stay lock'd😊🤝

    People don’t like lighter skin people with locs because with their hair texture it’s harder to keep a neat style and their locs always look very unkempt, which inherently makes the rest of the loc community look bad. Like you can’t tell me this guy doesn’t look a bit like raggedy Ann, and If you have straighter hair why would you even want locs? 🤔
