    I'm always excited to see videos from you. pure Chidera accent 😋.
    great video. lots of information for beginners and advice too.
    love your hair the way it is and however it turns out.
    dealing with the comparisons was a journey for me and still is, but gosh I love my locs.
    and in Nigeria, females with thicker sized locs are like a spectacle. i've gotten mixed reactions and some even go further to school me. which is just annoying.
    and yeah, I am getting even more and more confident.
    can't wait for more videos! and blog posts!☺️

    I’ve been growing my locs for 5 years and I at times catch myself comparing my locs to other people
    I’m learning to just enjoy my own journey and I’m freeforming my locs ❤️ this is the best decision I’ve ever made for my hair !

  • @edifymytemple
    @edifymytemple 3 роки тому +56

    Technically you started as semi free form because you started from two strand twist. It's important to tell people this so they know how to actually freeform. Freeforming means to allow your locs to grow organically on it's own. No twisting, no sponge, and or coils. Just washing and allowing the locs to form on it's own. I started my freeforming locs in December.

      @Chloe Great it can cause buildup, which can lead to some nasty stuff like a bad smell and even mold. It’s also extremely hard to get out of your locs. If you are going to use it, do so very sparingly.

    Two strand twist, leaving it natural my hair is still in its stages I love getting compliments it’s a lot of time and patience to let your locs form I don’t like the word dreads cause that’s the world that they gave locs to call them dreadful but locs are beautiful and it’s the culture not in to dying locs it’s not the way.. natural and not putting chemicals to rush the process just let it be free sprite that’s how I was taught..

    I'm almost a month loc’d, honestly I don't know which type of lock I have. My loctician used her fingers to do the locking. She was about to crotchet it after when I asked, I like the way it looks now, what will happen if we don't crotchet? She said nothing it is loc’d.. Then let's leave it I said. I went to interlock it yesterday. They are thick because I love to have thick loc’s.
    Now watching this I think I'm freeforming yaaaay🤣.

    • @ariesmry
      @ariesmry Рік тому

      Free forms are when you start your locs by allowing the hair to clump naturally.
      When you start from braids/twists/interlocking, even with low maintenance, the locs tend to look more manicured because of the base.
      But the journey isn’t about the terminology or category of your locs.
      The only time the type of locs you have become relevant is when you are centering your content around hair.
