1. Don’t sleep without your durag/head covering 2. Focus on your scalp the first months, use tree oil/peppermint oil 3. DON’T SCRATCH YO HAIR 4. Wash it once a month, ideally two if you don’t want it to look rough for the first months. Depends on your hair texture as well . 5. Don’t dye your hair early
@@judgment5861 nothing if anything It’ll lock your hair faster bc when you die your hair it becomes more dead and what are dreads? dead hair combined 😉
@@judgment5861 facts i already had dyed hair before I started my free forms, about a month in i bleached them and a month after that I dyed it black. my locs look way more developed than the average 2 month starter locs
This is my 2nd journey with locz. My first journey lasted 7 years past the middle of my back. I’m on journey 2 at 7 months in. This time I won’t cut them. May I mention, I will be 51 this year.
I started again last October after cutting my old set after 8 years. I definitely won’t be cutting my hair again so I will be taking better care of this set
Iv grown my locs to my shoulders twice now.. All these do’s and don’ts I agree with 100% Damian is amazing he saved my locs the first time and retwisted them 2 more times after that. If you aren’t retwisting your own hair and you have someone else doing it for you PLS PLS PLSSSSS DO NOT LET JUST ANYONE PUT THEIR HANDS ON YOUR LOCS! Iv met a lot of people who have said they can do locs but couldn’t... Ask for a portfolio, verify before they do anything..
I love number 4. I had long beautiful locks and kept them for a long time. I started them when my pops was alive because they represented freedom. I had just went to college and mother didn't want me to have them. So when I moved out it was the first thing I did. My pops was my boxing trainer and loved them. They got long! REALLY long. He passed away in 2008 and a few years later I cut my locks for a fundraiser for a kid that had brain cancer. Long story short, after that ever time I tried to regrow my locks I kept cutting them over and over because then it was about the "style' where as the first time it was "spiritual". During this quarantine I put my locks back in... But this time it feels different. I'm ok with the 'rough' look because I feel my locks are a spiritual representation of my new knowledge... My "North Star" so to speak is closer to when I first had my locks rather than the image of it. Thank you for the great advice!!
Bro I’m so appreciative of your story and your willingness to share here. Hearing you cut your Locs for a kid with cancer is just so inspiring man! For humanity!! Gives me hope in the good of mankind. I’m sure your father was proude of the decision as well. ✊🏾Grateful for your support king! You got them hands tooo hahaha Boxing is on my to do list! I wanna learn...just don’t know if I’m coo with getting hit in the face lol
@@TPlocks bless brother. Thank you. It was a fundraiser for the kids at the Boys and Girls club lol all of us staff members offered to do something crazy for the kids for earning the most money in a milk jug. When I offered to cut my dreads...(my kids knew how much they meant to me) even parents lined up to donate haha. Thank you! It's been a long time since I have had the privilege of sharing! THANK YOU!! I feel what you mean though lol. Getting hit isn't the best. But, I'm sure a good coach would keep you from getting touched! Blessings and thanks for the amazing advice! Be blessed!!
i cant lie, youre one of the best loc teachers ive seen on youtube because you get right to the point of the question, no extra talk trying to fill content, its jus straight knowledge and cut.
@@LoveGod1987 it's worth it ngl my hair grew so much 😭2 months in almost 3 ima get a retwist next month instead of this month so my hairline can recover
Thank you so much for the tips. I start my locs tomorrow . I’ve been natural for 5 years but wear tons of protective styles. I’m on a new journey and super excited.
Welcome to the loc family! 🔥🔥 5 years natural deserves high praise!! Getting your Locs is an exciting time!!! Take plenty of pictures!!! You’ll enjoy this journey for sure! ✊🏾
When I first started my dreads no one told me about this, my head itched so bad 😭 but it got better. This will be my 4th year with them and I love them. I use tree oil to help with this
Great information, coming from a licensed cosmetologist, loc enthusiast, and going thru my own loc journey! I would add using a leave-in conditioner, or a spray conditioner, instead of a cream to help prevent the locs from slipping. Also, if you do have a hard time remembering your scarf at night is opting for a satin pillowcase. i started my locs on Jan 9
I started my locs back in March sitting between my mama’s legs - at my big ass age of 20 - while she two strand twisted my hair 😂 no specific parting, no specific plan..just intuition. enjoying the journey though. it’s a roller coaster
Great delivery!!!! I didn't know what to expect. When you said "Don't number one" I ran to get my pen and note pad this is gonna be important. I'm on day three of my loc journey. Thanks for the North Star statement. I can keep my why front and center. Keep the videos coming. God bless!
quarantine had me starting my locs yesterday, hopefully they’ll be locd up when school start in august edit: currently 6 months in! nice to see all yall gettin locs too, i love it so far 🔥
It’s a great time to start!! If you’ve got a curly hair texture, that should be more than enough time to be locked! They may not be fully mature, but you should be able to wash and go no problem!
Facts my nigga i just got my hair first twisted yesterday cant wait till September niggas finna be like, TF🤣 lol females finna be comin left an right bruhbrih trust, aint like they already dont anyway🤔
I started Oct 15th 2020 with 2 strand twist, I sprayed way too much rosewater & glycerin. Last week on the 17th I started over with starter locs. I know now to keep my hands out of my hair & just worry about the scalp. I love your videos! ❤
Two months into my second set and it's way more pleasant than the first time around. My scalp was acting ALL the way up on my first set. Flakes would pop up three days after a wash. Not anymore though, and I haven't changed anything. It's weird, but it is what it is.
I'm officially two weeks into my loc journey. I did the instant loc method with the crochet needle all by myself within hours and it has turned out great so far. I hope the rest of my loc journey goes well. Pray for me lol 🙏🏾♥️😄 Also, thank you for all the helpful tips and stay blessed 💪🏾♥️👍🏾💯
Started my loc journey 2 weeks ago. You are the first person I decided to follow! My take away are dont itch...one spot has been driving me crazy lately. Most importantly I love the find your north star point! Thanks a lot, and I will make sure to take pics.
i started my locs about 3 weeks ago. i haven’t washed it yet but i’m about to soon. i gave a habit of touching my head but not scratching. at first i hated the frizz but i love it now!
I'm mad, who are the people who gives thumbs down 😤. With that said... Thanks man!!! You are giving me life with your tips and you are very entertaining and easy to listen.
I’m glad I could help bro! As for the dislikes it’s all apart of the game! I want folks to rock with me BUT I can’t stress on the ones who don’t! All my care is saved up for the people who show love! Thanks for supporting the channel!!! 🙏🏾
Thank you so much brother! This was so helpful. New dreadlock tribe started on jun 21 2024. Its only been a couple of days and ive been sleeping with my loc cap and my loctician told me to use small amouns of tea tree oils or peppermint like you said. But i really am doing this because of my spiritual faith of 7 years now. My north star is looking more like my scandanavian brothers and sisters. I am so honored and humbled that spirit chose this path for me. 😅 and damn do i look good. Almost like that new infant born baby coning outta that womb. The push was kina gross but when you put those locks in your fingers and not at the roots. I feel like its a hair garden. Gotta give the garden your nutrients when your gutt tell you too while the beginning days for me. Its saying leave me alone. So night caps and leaving them alone while the roots lock in. Love this video so much. 🎉
I’ve been scratching like crazy. Lol 3 weeks in. It’s gonna be so hard to loc my hair because I don’t have the texture. My hair is more of a wave then a kink so I’m looking like a wild woman right now. I compare it to me growing into who I want to be. It starts out rough but eventually turns into something beautiful. Another awakening. Another transformation into another part of the journey. Can’t wait to see how they will look a year from now. Great video! I subscribed. 💙
I started a month ago. This was helpful because I panicked a week ago cause my hair looked like it was coming undone. But my Loctician told me to trust the process and my hair was ok.
I’m glad this is out, since covid -19 I figured to finally get locs bc my loose natural hair is so much maintenance for me. I’m getting my starter locs tomorrow so I’m excited for my journey.
I’ve been contemplating getting locs. I did for lox hair styles previously and I really loved how it looked. Now I am officially ready to loc my hair plus I’m tired of doing my natural hair every morning. I don’t got time for that lol.
Welcome to the loc family! 🔥🔥 and I’m glad you’re settling in to that love for them. Embrace every change with love and you’ll enjoy every step of the Journey. 🔥🔥
HI THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ADVICE🙏🏽GOT MY FIRST LOCKS AT THE AGE OF 57. IT IS SCARY BUT EXCITING AT THE SAME TIME…ITS BEEN A SLOW PROCESS, I HAVE BEEN NATURAL( SHORT CUTS) FOR SEVERAL YEARS & NOW THIS. YOUR ADVICE WAS NOT ONLY GOOD BUT WISE TOO…I SHALL TAKE PICS & KNOW WHAT TO DO/AND NOT TO DO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM THE UK❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
I'm glad I clicked on this channel. it's amazingly detailed. this is my second month and I just relocked today. gosh, I dyed my hair same day I loc'd my hair. I wish I didn't though. now I know better. I wash once a month and condition once a month. you rock💓
I had locs for 10 years; I cut them when they dropped below my waist. I started with two months of growth. I started and maintained my locs by myself. People often stopped me in public and complimented my locs and/or asked who my loctition was. I formulated my own oil and mixed my own shampoo concoction. I washed my hair once every three weeks; I didn’t use conditioner because it causes buildup-causing mold. I never wore a durag-NOT ONCE!
This is probably one of the best videos I've seen since starting my journey. I'm about 4 months in my journey. Trying to learn how to do my retwist myself so I can save some money lol. I'm so nervous.
Started my second set 8-23-24 my first set was over 10 years ago 2009 bigget lessons I learned is to ALWAYS cover your head before you go to bed it’s essential honestly
To be honest, my mom had put Locs into my hair when I was 7 and at the time my hair was pretty long already and was slightly past my shoulders. And by the time I had cut them, they were near my butt and literally I had them in for like 3 or 4 years. And now that I'm 14 I miss my Locs, even though being able to brush through my hair was pretty cool, I feel like I need my locs back because I just miss them so much. So thank you SOOO much for this video because I had no idea what to do. 😁
pstreet3 welcome to the loc family! It try to keep the posts consistent on my channel and I’m always around so if you ever have any question feel free to reach out! ✊🏾😊
I locd up because I got tired of being so synthetic.... the pressure of having to be "beautiful" in a synthetic way... I am beautiful with these naps popping I did cheat though I got extensions buy hey im not perfect 🤷🏽♀️😂 esthetics at work are still a thing. I wish youtube let u upload pics in the comments.
@Emmanuel Bacher well it sure does take a whole lot of bad energy to call someone who you don't even know an idiot for exercising their right to do whatever they want to THEIR own hair just saying 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
Will be getting my twa locked tomorrow after going bald for three years now. These tips helped. I have bonnets but no durags, so mext video to watch is your durag vs bonnet video. Can't wait to see how this goes for the next one year ❤ P.s, i was going bald by choice cause I got tired of my hair not growing after years of treating it horribly and it needed a fresh start
You know... I research things to the fullest extent and I find the most reliable sources in doing so. If I don't know where to go, I just keep asking questions until I search for something that fits exactly what I'm looking for, if it sounds like it's what I need to know, I take hard core notes, on routine, terminology, etc etc etc. It really depends on what it's about but my preface point is that I'm dig deep until I feel I've found a professional that KNOWS what they're talking about. I've gotten quite a bit under my belt and I just have to say, I can already tell, at 2:21 seconds into your video, that I can trust what you're saying. Your responsibility, rationality, logic, and terminology all tells me a lot. So far you're my favorite, go to, dread, educator. Thank you for your guidance!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

No seriously and it’s my 3rd day 😩
Its your scalp way of telling you it needs oil. Listen to your scalp.
i feel you i'm 3 months in AND i have always had dandruff
When I first started my dreads no one told me about this, my head itched so bad 😭 but it got better. This will be my 4th year with them and I love them. I use tree oil to help with this
Try peppermint oil
Just started mine yesterday. 🥰 2 strand twist, random parting methods
Great information, coming from a licensed cosmetologist, loc enthusiast, and going thru my own loc journey! I would add using a leave-in conditioner, or a spray conditioner, instead of a cream to help prevent the locs from slipping. Also, if you do have a hard time remembering your scarf at night is opting for a satin pillowcase.

Welcome to the loc family! 🔥🔥 and I’m glad you’re settling in to that love for them. Embrace every change with love and you’ll enjoy every step of the Journey. 🔥🔥

I'm glad I clicked on this channel. it's amazingly detailed. this is my second month and I just relocked today. gosh, I dyed my hair same day I loc'd my hair. I wish I didn't though. now I know better. I wash once a month and condition once a month. you rock💓
getting mine done tomorrow LETS GO LOC FAMILY
I had locs for 10 years; I cut them when they dropped below my waist. I started with two months of growth. I started and maintained my locs by myself. People often stopped me in public and complimented my locs and/or asked who my loctition was. I formulated my own oil and mixed my own shampoo concoction. I washed my hair once every three weeks; I didn’t use conditioner because it causes buildup-causing mold. I never wore a durag-NOT ONCE!
Most ppl need a durag
Getting starter locs tomorrow I’m very happy!
Iya Phillips lets gooooo! 🔥🔥🔥 it’s a very exciting time! ✊🏾
Congrats 🍾🎉 on a side note omg u are so beautiful 😍

This is probably one of the best videos I've seen since starting my journey. I'm about 4 months in my journey. Trying to learn how to do my retwist myself so I can save some money lol. I'm so nervous.

Started my second set 8-23-24 my first set was over 10 years ago 2009 bigget lessons I learned is to ALWAYS cover your head before you go to bed it’s essential honestly
My first time watching your videos. I just got my dreadlocks yesterday.. Thank you so much
This video was amazing. Started my dreads a few weeks ago! And this video cleared up EVERYTHING I needed! Thank you sir!!
MY NORTH START IS GETTING MY HAIR LIKE YOURS 💯🤞🏾
😂😂😂 you can have hair better than mine! All the mistakes I’ve made haha
@@TPlocks mine too, lol.
To be honest, my mom had put Locs into my hair when I was 7 and at the time my hair was pretty long already and was slightly past my shoulders. And by the time I had cut them, they were near my butt and literally I had them in for like 3 or 4 years. And now that I'm 14 I miss my Locs, even though being able to brush through my hair was pretty cool, I feel like I need my locs back because I just miss them so much. So thank you SOOO much for this video because I had no idea what to do. 😁
Just got my locs the other day!
Started my loc journey 2 weeks ago I’m looking forward to connecting to the universe im doing it for spiritual purposes
Great information! I’m week 3 of my journey and appreciate all of this.

I locd up because I got tired of being so synthetic.... the pressure of having to be "beautiful" in a synthetic way...
I am beautiful with these naps popping
I did cheat though I got extensions buy hey im not perfect 🤷🏽♀️😂 esthetics at work are still a thing. I wish youtube let u upload pics in the comments.
You are an idiot for getting extensions
Emmanuel Krueger what’s wrong with extensions?
@@maddisonroseschroeder1751 fake hair, bad energy
Maddison Rose Schroeder not a single thing. ppl just wanna judge
@Emmanuel Bacher well it sure does take a whole lot of bad energy to call someone who you don't even know an idiot for exercising their right to do whatever they want to THEIR own hair just saying 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I’m a month in with my starters this actually helped Thankyou!
You are so intelligent. And no your analogy is perfect.
Thank you! 😁
Just started my locs yesterday for the first time after having afro like hair (like my profile picture) Thanks for the tips and tricks
Welcome to the loc family!! 🔥🔥
Getting my locks done as we speak!!!
Everyone keep saying it DO NOT GO TO SLEEP WITHOUT YOUR DURAG
Me not listening and wondering why my hair keep unraveling . . . .
A hard head make a linty loc!! Lol
Will be getting my twa locked tomorrow after going bald for three years now. These tips helped. I have bonnets but no durags, so mext video to watch is your durag vs bonnet video.
Can't wait to see how this goes for the next one year ❤
P.s, i was going bald by choice cause I got tired of my hair not growing after years of treating it horribly and it needed a fresh start
I gottta remaster some of my old content! It all makes me cringe today! Glad it still helps! 🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾 Keep us posted on your journey!
Got mine done yesterday let's go
Welcome to the loc family ✊🏾
Thank you for these tips. I'm on day #2 and this video was very helpful.
Glad I found this vid...I got my starter locs on Cinco De Mayo so its almost been 2 weeks
Btw you gained a supporter
Welcome to loc family! So happy to have your support! That early phase is definitely exciting!!! Feel free to share pics on my IG account! ✊🏾
My only regret in my journey is not taking more pictures. You're so right about that.
Why?
@@jarelllevingston7882 to see the before and after
I always break my hair when starting the loc out of stress, so that info abut the peppermint oil sounds REALLY helpful for me.
Just started my loc journey and excited for the hair growth!
Started mine 2 days ago. Hopefully a significant change when I'm back to work in September
Getting my locs Saturday morning appreciate the info!
Exciting times bruh! Welcome to the Locs fam in advance! 🔥🔥🔥
Started my journey on feb 1, excited for the process. Appreciate the tips 💯💯
You know... I research things to the fullest extent and I find the most reliable sources in doing so. If I don't know where to go, I just keep asking questions until I search for something that fits exactly what I'm looking for, if it sounds like it's what I need to know, I take hard core notes, on routine, terminology, etc etc etc. It really depends on what it's about but my preface point is that I'm dig deep until I feel I've found a professional that KNOWS what they're talking about. I've gotten quite a bit under my belt and I just have to say, I can already tell, at 2:21 seconds into your video, that I can trust what you're saying. Your responsibility, rationality, logic, and terminology all tells me a lot. So far you're my favorite, go to, dread, educator. Thank you for your guidance!!! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
I meant reasonability not responsibility
