Definitely considering semi freeform. I love the effortless look and one of the reasons I wanted locs was because of the low maintenance. I want a more natural, organic flow to my hair while still being somewhat cultivated. I'm not particularly into the styling so I'm really looking forward to going semi freeform. I'm about 3 weeks loc'd so I'm pumped
Yaaay congrats on starting your loc journey! So glad to hear you’re heavily considering semi-freeforming your locs.
I have semi freeform locs, I love them
I’m loving this idea!! I just started my journey and I don’t want it to get thin !! Also I’m learning to love my 4c hair without wigs ❤️✨
Congrats on starting your loc journey!so glad you’re loving the journey
I did free form by accident and i love it. 😂 i tried to loc my hair myself didn’t know what i was doing and was super lazy about doing my hair but it ended up looking unique of course ppl think it’s a mess but it’s my mess. I just don’t like the clean straight line look 🤷🏾♀️
“People think it’s a mess but it’s my mess” BIG facts! Freeform locs are beautiful
Words straight out of my mouth.. my elder sister has been bugging me to retwist, but i just don't have patience for that. Not to mention i do NOT like the clean look, it just doesn't fit my personality.
Right we love the puffiness and frizz over here
❤️❤️
I'm so happy I found this video. I've been thinking about getting locs for YEARS. I just couldn't decide because all the people I could find with them online had so much maintenance involved. It felt like a bigger commitment than what I really wanted it to be. This video spoke to me on a spiritual level. I've literally never had that happen in all my time researching locs. You've made me fall deeper in love with my hair and this hair style. Thank you! 💛
Woowww this meant so much I’m so honored that the video resonated with you spiritually! Our creator has a great way of speaking through people to us but Im so glad you feel deeper in love with your natural. Love to hear it! ❤️
First of all: your eyebrows!😍
second: I decided on semi freeform because I feel the need to let go of society's view of what my hair should look like. Permed or braided ect. because it didnt feel like I was being authentic. But I feel like with locs I am allowing my hair to be itself and try to listen to my own mind. I think my journey is to accept myself as is. With a little maintenance lol. I think locs are beautiful and I have always admired them and I'm about 3 months in and I'm having a good time so far. Just letting go of expectations and letting my hair do whatever it's gonna do.
I’m so glad to hear about your journey of freeing yourself from society’s view. That is highly relateable 🙌🏾 thanks for sharing!
Came for the hair, got it AND life lessons! Perfect 💓
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and got even more than what you expected out of the channel. I hope you continue to love it here! Thank you ❤️
I started with 2strand and I'll be 1 year in February. I have fine 4c hair and Ive noticed over time I'm enjoying the fluffiness also, couldn't agree more it really is a spiritual thing. I only started them because of boredom and so much has changed I respect it more. Thank you for this!🙏
Wow thank you so much for your comment Im so glad this video resonated with me! Peace and blessings with you and your journey
i loved every bit of this video especially the "umph! that was deep!" your voice is lovely as well.
Aww thank you! So glad you enjoy the vids ☺️
This video was made just for me lol especially number 1. My other loc’d friends could never understand why I would give up the “reward system” of getting my hair done but even if I’m not the one doing it, getting my hair done brings me no joy lol. It’s like “ok cool that’s out of the way” but I am still the happiest camper when my roots is nappy. I think subconsciously I prefer my roots to be nappy because it matches my personality.
Im glad you found out whats best for you in your loc journey! I definitely can relate. I have always been the one who did my own hair in the best way, and If I mess up my own hair, the only one who could take the blame is me lol
Love the video and your energy
So glad you love the video! You’ll love semi-reforming and thanks for the compliments ☺️
Perfect timing on this vid! Just started my locs a few weeks ago ✨ thanks for your content ❤️
Thank you! So glad you enjoy the content and yaayy on starting your loc journey ❤️
Beautiful! You wear your crown so well, I love the thickness
Thank you so much! 🙏🏾
I’m getting mine tomorrow I’m so excited for the journey
Ayyee congrats on starting your loc journey!
I really liked to watch this. You have a really calm and loving way of being. 🙏🏽🧡
Edit: and a really soothing voice 😄🙏🏽
Thank you!
Your locs are gorgeous lolo
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Omg I love this 2 strand twist idea, I thought my hair would form together lol
Yess that’s the same thing that I did with my hair!
I can definitely relate with the natural hair drama. So glad I loc’d my hair. I have 210 microlocs. Tested the semi free form for 3 months then had to retwist and retie because I panicked when I saw new hair growing away from some locs which are growing on 4B hair. Love your channel.
Thanks for the support! I love the look of microlocs but yes i agree it wouldnt be beneficial to semi freeform on microlocs
Your hair is beautiful sis!!!!
Thank you!☺️
I needed this video thank you!!! So peaceful. I do believe I’m going to start my locs tonight! I’m almost 40, tired of doing my hair, I’d rather have short hair but I’ve prayed for it to grow and for God to help me take better care of it and appreciate it bc it is my crown! What you said kind of rung the bell in my head…. I’ve thought about starting locs several times but to hear you say what you said about locs being effortless and you let go and let your hair do it’s own thing….my sign. Stop trying to keep your hair the way it was in the past. It’s a new beginning! Evolve on the outside as well as the inside! I’m excited!
Yeesssss thank you for your comment! One of the main reasons I locd my hair is because I was tired of doing it also, sometimes I feel our hair doesn’t want to be “forced” into certain styles anymore, it just wants to do its own thing.
So glad the video resonated with you! It’s refreshing to have read your response and blessings to you on your loc journey! 🙏🏾❤️
@@holisticflo thank you 💕 I’ll try to remember to update!!
I’ve been most definitely considering locs but the thing that stopping me is that I used to get my hair relaxed when I was younger, and I want them to be nice and full. I kinda want a lot also. Another reason why I haven’t gotten them yet is because where I’m at there’s not many people that does dreads and I don’t want to do them myself.
I'm sure there are probably more people in your area who do them, possibly not in beauty salons but maybe independent businesses I would certainly encourage you to continue your search.
Wow, this is exactly what I want but I didn’t have the terminology to explain it! I hate the scalpy look and I HATE doing my hair.
i love my semi's!!! they are unique to me and only me, the roots are healthy and i don't put all that stress on my scalp from re twist every month. i just get my hair cultivated once a year and just separate them how i see fit rest of the way
Beautiful that your locs are unique to you
They look neat. I like them
Thank you
Golden presentation.....✌✌
Thank you!
I stopped re-twisting a few months ago, It was taking too long to do and it was thinning out my locs and I have fine hair to begin with!!
Glad you found what works for you!
Same here!! My hair has so much body when the roots aren’t twisted up, I decided to just stop retwisting and start loving my hair just the way it looks ❤️
nice and informative
Thank you!
Don’t like doing or getting my hair done.. so I have been on off of semi -free form but now I’m staying and when I do decide to retwist or whatever I’m doing my own to save some money
Definitely is a great way to go!
I watched this because I wanted to try getting semi free form locs, but it sounds like this is what I already have lol!
Lol keep doing your thang!
Starting my semi-freeform locs ☺️ Twists and leave alone for some time.
Yayyy congrats on starting your loc journey!
@@holisticflo aww thx Sis. You've inspired me for a while both here and on Instagram.
@@quartzzhuit thank you I am so glad to hear that really 🥺🙌🏾

My 5 yr old daughter has semi free form locs as well, and she loves them!. She really gets bothered when it's time for maintenance. I do my best not to bother her hair so much. I retwist about every 6 wks but I have to do the most to keep her new growth twisted because her texture is super kinky. This style suits her personality well. There is no right or wrong way to sport locs. I get spammed with retwist vids everyday on IG and I'm over it. 😒
I agree, there’s no right or wrong way to rock locs. I still love to watch retwist vids because they look so clean 😂 i just don’t do them on myself
Good video good vibes
Thank you glad you enjoyed it!
Omg I love u❤️ I have started to call my locs lifelines & I also believe my hair is a representation of my spiritual being. I can’t stand when I go once a month because I don’t like the uniformed look. I just don’t enjoy separating my locs. I do believe that I should find a way to balance that feeling because as Of now I have 83 locs & I started out with high top locs. I am growing the rest of my hair back out tho but I love having lots of locs but not sister locs.
I love you too! ♥️
I love the idea of calling your locs lifelines because that is really true to many people with locs.
I do believe a large part of the journey is finding that balance in between what you want and what your locs want 🤔
@@holisticflo so true. I’m 5 months in & I wanted the two strand twist method because of the beauty aspect of them. I do believe I can have the best of both worlds. I am however afraid of completely switching over because I am gaining so much spiritual wisdom that if I switch to the two strand method it will hinder my spiritual journey.
I personally always questioned dreads because of the type of maintenance. It doesn't seem manageable over long periods of time because of the twisting. A lot of people be thinning out.
Depends on hair type a lot as well.
I'm three weeks and a day with my semi freeform locs I got the comb coils Feb 25th of this year and my head was itching so bad I had to wash it thank God it was still locked 🔐 but I want to wait like a month in half to retwist again and see my growth from there any tips and advice
Hi congrats on starting your loc journey last month!
I would just be aware of your roots tangling in the first few months. You just want to make sure your hair is separated at the root so it doesnt get matted up
I have a fro my hair is about to my nose.I want semi free forms . How do I get started , do I just get my hair twisted down to the roots and let the roots grow out from there?
I recommend starting with two-strand twists. The first 4-6 months, I recommend re-twisting when needed and have it spread out, then start growing out your locs near the roots and do light maintenance and separate the roots
i’ve had my locs for 3 months now i started w two strand twist.. when should i start retwisting my hair since i want to do semi-free form locs
You could re-twist however often you feel comfortable.
I would recommend to leave in between 4 months-a year before every retwisr
I want Semi free-form but I also have thick twist already with random parts. My twist was started with parts but NY hair hate it & parts are gone.
I think that's normal, especially with semi-Freeform. I started my locs with very crisp parts and now almost 2 years later, the love do what they want and i think they're better because of it
@@holisticflo I have to let them do what they love.
Your hair is beautiful😍 I have starter locs. What do you generally use to moisturize your hair? I’ve been using Water and Aloe Vera Juice. Sometimes I put some burdock root tea in my spray bottle and spray it all over especially my scalp.
How are you liking the burdock root spray??
@@bellebottoms4861 I really like it! My hair is already soft because I have fine textured hair. It does feel a-lot stronger since I’ve been using it. My hair breaks off easily and I have a scalp issue where it flares up and flake. It’s really been helping clear it up.
Thank you for your comment and compliment!
I generally only use rose water. That’s the only product I currently use on my hair and it seems to do the trick. I have personally heard of using tea on your locs but sounds good! I may try it in the future
@@holisticflo No problem and that’s good! I was thinking about trying the rose water. But yes, Burdock is really good for you internally and externally.
I use honey and herbal oil.
Any tips for dandruff with semi free forms I work out almost everyday so I wash at least every 3 days but my hair still gets dandruff and real itchy.
That’s a great question. I work out regularly as well but my scalp has never been very dandruff-prone so the only product I use when it gets itchy is rose water and/or aloe on my scalp to soothe the itch.
I definitely recomend @TPLocks channel he has some great tips for reducing dandruff. He doesnt have semi-freeform locs but his info still applies
This is his video:

@@holisticflo thanks
I’ve been getting retwists, I’m at 1 year 4 months if I stop retwisting will I get an Afro under them?
Most likely not, after a few month of not retwisting, the hair starts to loc up by itself. The roots will probably get puffy, but eventually your hair will get used to it
Hey from 🇫🇷 and 🇬🇵 ( french west indies) , just want to introduce me 😂
Heyyy! 👋🏾👋🏾
How do I get them without getting dandruff
moisturize your scalp with a oil or light grease. I personally use "Sulfur 8 lightly medicated"
Great question. The answer certainly differs from person to person. The only product I use on my scalp is rose water. I rarely ever suffer from itchy scalp or dandruff, but when I do, I spray my locs and scalp with rosewater from the brand Fashion Dreadz
How many locs you got
72
How many locs do you have?
In this video, I had 74. Since this video, I have combined two of my locs so now I have 72
Lmfaoooo oh so what, you went to the beach?? 🤣🤣
😂😂😂 kid you not they said that out their mouth
Idk why but I have a big space in my crown
Thinning?
I just started my locs and I was thinking about semi-freeforming. I’m excited 🤎
Excited for you!
1000
thank u🫶🏾
You’re welcome thank you! 💜
About what you said on the « point B ». I love my hair so much 😍
I think you can decide to adopt the semi-free form style , because you like it.
For exemple, if you are not ready to adopt the free form. 🤓 Or if you like style it (like you said later) or even if you are transitionning in your hair routine ( to have less product in « the 4th point » )
First thing / I start following you cause I gonna start my loc journey ( finaly cause it been a while , I think about it)
Second thing/ I like this holistic way of life/mindset/ etc , It’s not easy to found it on « black » or/and poc community ( and it’s to bad , cause God knows how that matters for us 🙏🏾)
Congrats on starting your loc journey!
And I agree. A main reason I started my channel was to spread the Holistic way of life to more people of color, to educate them more about the benefits of tapping into your spirituality and knowing yourself more. Thank you for your comment 🙏🏾
Yeeeah ! Thank you for the support✨✨ I « officially » started my journey this week! One of the best hours of my life 🙏🏾
@@holisticflo yeaah thank you so much. 👏🏾🙏🏾 I don’t know if you know him, but HINDZ is one the most famous here talking about lifestyle, hair, mindset. It’s very interesting cause you guys are try to open the mind🙏🏾
