glad im not the only person that decided to start locs during this pandemic. 2weeks in! appreciate the tips
Jayrin Wilson we all in this together! welcome to the loc family! ✊🏽
you aint the only one bro lol
I started back in august my dude tuff it out! Its worth it
I started my dreads also bro ✊
@Cheryl Ladmirault I'm starting next payday so proud to be excited with you lol
Got my hair loc'd today and I am feeling embarrassed about it. I don't even know what I look like, I am already contemplating cutting it but a friend advised I give it more time, and now I found your channel. There is so much encouragement in this video! Thank you!
Definitely give it time! The beautiful thing about this channel is that we're all in it together! You can't cut yours until I cut mine! haha
Started mine last Thursday. You look like you look
I’m a year in from a little fro and I’m telling you it’s worth it
@@TPlocks Thank you!! This Family means a lot to me. I'm more comfortable in my locs now, great improvement I must say.
Thanks guys
I reached out to friends and family that have dreads and just got advice from them and everyone said the exact same thing “You Gotta be patient. I just got mine locked up yesterday, thankfully I work from home, so its just me and the awkward phase for now.
Just started my locs 5 days ago cuz I thought y not I'm not finna go to school to since the covid-19. Ready for the journey
Welcome to the loc family! 🔥🔥🔥🔥✊🏾
Henrico Clemons same today is 1 week for me
Update ?
@@marmarbuckz5243 it's goin good vro it just feels like more parts are locking than others. Since I started my dreads using a twist technique they tend to come out and I have to get it retwisted and use a locking gel. It also helps a lot to have a dread sleeve when sleeping
@@ricozbeatz951 alright and i have 3b hair and my hair is about 3 inches , im gonna twist with gel and put tiny black rubber bands on my hair for about 3 months ? Would that work ?
I had my dreads for 1year and 4months and I remember when I had to go to school with my starter dreads when I say so much people talk down on my hair a lot of people but when it got longer they stopped. thru the months I was thinking of cutting them but I got thru it
Good job hanging in there, I started mine a week ago and I'm a little insecure with the length, but Im gonna get through it because I want to go through the journey😊
I started mine my jr year . hated every minute of school . until senior year, I took everybody girl 😂
I'm also 1 year 4 months in at this point and I just put the scissors away.... 💔💔
I cut a tiny piece of 1 at the back literally....👀I was ready!!!
I honestly don't feel beautiful.
😂😂😂
Damn.😕
@@lovinglymq5576 you’re Beautiful don’t worry, start complimenting yourself 😊
Dude I just got my locs started and began searching for care tips and you my friend are an immediate subscribe. Thank you for doing this.
I’m happy I helped! Thanks for the subscribe too! ✊🏾
Hi TP LOCS, I really love that you’re sharing your Loc journey with us. I’m 57 and only have just got my hair into Locs. It’s day 8 and I’m chilled & cool with the process my hair is undergoing. Previously to watching your videos though I was panicking & worrying if I was gonna make it, luckily though as having you as a Mentor is really helpful. Thank you & look foreword to future videos. 🙏🏽💖🙏🏽
Love your channel!!! I started my locs in January and I've used your channel as a guide for a few months now
Bossman Hogg that means a lot! Best part about this channel is that I REALLY try to reply back ASAP! So you never have to rely on just the videos if they’re missing something! ✊🏾 thanks for the comment bruh!!
Very good video, sir! It was awesome to see all the close-ups as your hair matured throughout those months. The photo that was 2 weeks post install took me back hard to my starter locs...good memories! In a weird way, I wish I could go back. Who would’ve ever guessed I’d feel that way. There was just an overall excitement about the quest that first year that has yet to be matched, truly inimitable.
Just started my journey 2 weeks ago!!! Went in for my 1st retwist today and my ends are budding!!! Me and my loctician were SHOCKED!!! I wasn’t expecting that AT ALL!!!
It's all about the journey! And appreciating the process of taking care of your hair and your body
Great loc journey! You got some quality content. I just started my semi-free form loc journey. This video just reminded me to trust & enjoy the process.
I appreciate it fam! It is a wonderful process. I’m active on my channel too so you’ll always have someone present to offer encouragement when needed! ✊🏾
TP Locs this video is motivation bro. I been on this loc Journey a month. My wife already dislikes the rough faze. But your video has inspired me to keep going.
Hey bro thank you for this because I’m actually getting into my 4th month loc’d and I am going through the budding process and was worried I was doing something wrong. But after seeing this I have the confidence again to trust the process and want to thank you for that ✊🏽. I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I really appreciate the advice and the reassurance you give!
Started mine a week now but I have been checking out your tips and insights. Thanks for sharing your timeline.
Always happy to help! ❤️
Started my locs during the beginning of lockdown & you earned a fan from the UK
@TPlocks I just got mines yesatardy of 11/18/2020 and I already want to comb them out! But with this watching this video. Gives me this reason why I choose to get locs

TP locks You know it fam... Yea I need that I kinda got an idea of how to do it but not sure lol
I just uploaded my 1-3 month dread update. I like the fact that you mentioned that it takes time for locs to take on a look. I have absolutely no idea how my dreads are going to look at the one year stage. Slick scared, but kinda excited as well. Your dreads look good btw!
Thanks for the comment! My locs have gone through it lol but I’m so happy to have stuck through it! I’ll check the upload out and sub!!!
TP locks thank you! And I subscribed to your channel, looking forward to future videos by you.

I already told you about my dye debacle, lol. Glad that my hair is recovering at 2 months loc'd. Great video!
Be careful with that dye!! Lol
I'm at the 10 month mark Dread. Didn't think I'd make it through the ugly ass stage, separating it and hearing that congo dread crackle.. I reached for the clippers a few times and nearly got my bald on ha, a slick fade every 2 weeks keeps it sharp.. Good video my brother 🤜🏿🤛🏿
I love your channel you inspired me to get my dreads and start my channel

Welcome to the loc family!!! 🔥🔥🔥
im in month 2-3 i think. comb twisted and laid back in a braid type thing. following this channel for tips
I started my dreads in August of 2020 but prior to me getting dreads I grew my hair out for a year so I had longer hair when I started. But I'm 7 months in an im doing great
Thank you!
last week i did my locks so far so good
Good stuff! Welcome to the loc family!
Fresh af
What up brother have a great day God bless you your family to
Just started my journey🤌🏾
Currently doing the rubber and method for my starter locs
Thank you so much
Happy to help! 🙏🏾
i heard that lil pause at 8:16 🤣
😂😂😂
@@TPlocks yoo man i really enjoy your videos, ive got a question for you. im about to start my high top loc journey after being inspired by you! I was wondering, should i start my locs with two strand twists or comb coils? the twists seem easier to maintain
Imma get starter locs soon. Quick question once you get them how often do you have to wash them and retwist? Do you retwist after you wash your hair? Or after a full month?
How long after a retwist should you wait to wash your hair? How long does it take for the locs to hold without fear of washing it loose?
Im here right now
Starting my locs soon but I’m growing my hair from a high top fade to an afro
I’m jealous. Some days I wish I started with a full set too!!
Just started mine
Just started my loc journey with coils. I know this is a process but just wanted to know some of the different ways to wash your hair without actually washing your hair. My scalp is normally itchy and I normally wash my hair every other day. Now that I can’t just want to know so ways.
Thanks for the comment. Check out the durag method! I have an old video on how to wash your starter locks! But let me know if you can’t find it and I’ll send you the link.
So you leave your hair out if tight styles in order to let it mature?
Is it safe to use rubber bands to help lock your hair and if so what moisture do you recommend im new to getting locks
Thank you
You’re welcome. 😁
new sub from the U.K , your easy to watch
Thanks!!! 😁 welcome to the channel!!
I haven’t got a hair cut in almost 2 years I think & should I trim it so I can get ride of dead hair and split ends before dreading up ? Because I see a dread journey video and the person who did the video said he dreaded up with dead hair and split ends and his dreads are nice and long..what should I do ?
Week one of my second set locks
Welcome to the loc family!! Lol
10:03 what word was that? That shit threw me off lol . Man's a scholar
camcane1 😂 you clowning me 😂😂cylindrical lol just basically that elongated round shape .
This man said length and girth with a straight face
I’m damn near 30 fam...everything can’t be a joke haha
High top locs here. You started super early. I twisted my own hair and i can't imagine how aggravating it would've been at that length . With my hair grade they would've unraveled right after i twisted them .
Man it was rough....lol
I got mine finger coiled and they never came out only 2 did tho but that I’m not worried about
I guess it helps that i got my locks after having been growing my afro for a while, i kinda skipped that budding ugly phase
Started my locs in April I wanna submit a loc review but I’m scared lol
iM sTarting my locs yesterday
I really truly LOVE the way you present with information about starter locs. I am 3 months in with my starter locs and I started with relaxer still in my hair. My locs are doing well. Please tell me what you use for your backgrounds and how to change them as well. Thank you True Loc Teacher🙏👏👏👏
Bro what do u recommend the mango twist gel or the mango wax one
My hair can lock up very fast I barely comb my hair so sometimes I find some locked up hair. I could probably free form. My mom has long locs that's why I want it.
Im 3 months in..2 strand. And i started with longer hair bro but my hair is only just above my eyebrows so i keep my head covered everywhere lol
I cut my dreads 2 years ago but I just started again and my hairs about longer than yours is not
I started my locs last years december
8 months in? Almost at that year mark! 🔥
nice video!! How long were you growing your hair before you loc'd up?
Dionisio Carey maybe 9 months! Wasn’t very long at all!
I wish I would’ve more pictures Most if my 1-4 months I wore a Durag
Same!! That or I had a hat or a bad on! smh
Is it possible to keep hair at the short length without it unwrapping
I’m Puerto Rican and I’m thinking about getting locs, when I was a kid I had a huge Afro but my white mom wouldn’t let me even braid it at the time
Last time I cut my hair was new year 12-31-20
But I didn’t get my first twist until 6-11-21 now it is 6.5 months later 12-28-21 my hair is about the length that your hair is in this vid but my hair is just now starting to bud and ends sealing my hair looks about your November pics just longer 😩
Starting mines now I’m just hand finger twisty them
Interested to see how those turn out!!
What does it mean when u start budding the first day through the first month.. is that normal? I’m currently in month 8 and still have budds
I wanna switch from twisting to crotcheting any advice??
