Great video. It was rough for me in the beginning. But here I am, 6 months away from my 2 year loc anniversary. After some time passed, I began to embrace the roughness. I love the way my hair looks with the new growth. Absolutely love it!
Thanks so much! This is where I am in my journey too! It is definitely a tough road and it's all about accepting yourself as you are which is not always easy in a society that reinforces a certain aesthetic and demonizes others.
I started these locs 1 month ago with no product at all. They have been washed twice (every 2 weeks) and this is the first retwist. 2 month update is next. Subscribe and follow hairbydxlyn on IG to keep up with her loc progression.
That looks beautiful. I started my loc journey in April of this year...and,have come up against quite a few rough patches. Your work, video and, words inspire me to go forward. I, too, went to someone that started my locs by coil. After 2 months, she disappeared. I, now, see someone that uses the interlocking due to the texture of my hair. I love it, better.
try washing w/a stocking cap on...it will reduce the unravelling Great encoraging video for new locers, don't be discouraged, it took 7 months before my hair began to loc. My sister...you're in good hands Dxlyn is an amazing stylist!
CarleeLocs washing with a stocking cap didn't work for me because my scalp requires a wash each and every time. My scalp was flaky and as a result of my loctician doing that, I found someone else who understood the importance of washing my locs each and every time. Now I'm happy with my new loctician 😊
Thank you so much for this! I just got starter locs with comb coils 5 days ago. I was very skeptical about the advice I received about not washing for several weeks. I'm a personal trainer and dance instructor so I am always sweating and often rolling around on the floor. There was no way I could refrain from washing my hair. You've given me exactly what I need to continue this journey in confidence. Thank you!
Love this video! I have wondered about comb coils and I think their beautiful. Re: folks who don’t wash their loc’s give loc’s an extremely negative reputation. I took my loc’s down after 7.5 years because I didn’t like the energy of the loctitian who did them. It wasn’t that the extensions looked bad. It was literally bad energy as in bad juju. I would have taken them down ages ago but I had a new born and a 2 year old so I kept the loc’s for their convenience. I have restarted my journey myself with two strand twists. Just a month in and I love them. You do good work!
U have the best starter loc video I just started mine and they looking crazy lol my hair lady told me to come back in 4 weeks this helped me thank u ✊🏿🙏🏿❤️
I just want to say thank you for all of the information! I am not loc'd but I am doing this for my best friend and your videos have guided me and assisted in my learning of this amazing process. Your work is wonderful and the videos are so helpful. Keep up the amazing work!❤
wow I really appreciate this video, I know I'm nearly a year late, but I recently started locs, and they were wonderful and long and looked like they were locking and them my loctition did my one month wash! I thought I had lost all progress but my mom who came with me told me even after the wash some of my locs were still in. I didn't believe her as I was looking at the mirror of my frolike head but after watching this I've realized this is just that stage so thanks for the video and motivation and stay loc'd !
Amazing! They are going to be beautiful. Small loc envy😍 But love my large organic free form locs. They are a trial though. Give thanks for the encouragement and example. Oh btw, so-called African American here that loves and has utmost respect for HAITI! Bless Sis.
Thank u much, new journey for me, 2 weeks in look a lil crazy but I understand the process, first re-twist 2 more weeks, one month first re-twist, 😩😊, thanks again for the encouragement😃, I really want these locs 😁
I just LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! You always give the real and you’re so informative!! glad I watched this. I get my first wash and retwist in 8 days and some have unraveled but not completely and I have tendency to feel like I need to recoil it... i’m just going to leave them. your client’s hair is beautiful!! I need to see if you did a follow up video for her. would love to see how they look now!
Very good video and teaching points. I started mine with two strand twists 6 mo ago and I love them. I only wash my hair once a month so I don't disturb the locking process. I interlock at that time too. I just use water, castor oil and vitamin E oil to moisturize. No conditioner as conditioners tend to be detanglers. I do a hot oil treatment as a conditioner.
My son got starter locs but the lady used a lot of protein gel (so much his hair looked brown). I'm concerned about so much gel making his scalp itch. Should he use something else? What is instant locing? Thx.!
Happy New Year not only do I love your words and encouragement, I enjoy seeing the little pops of your sons Lol! Can't wait for your own hair update, currently not re twisting my own locs.
I JUST GOT STARTER LOCS 02/26/18 AND I LOVE THEM AND I DON'T MIND THE FAZE. I HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY FIRST WASH YET BUT I'M LOOKING FORWART TO IT AND GETTING MY RETWISTS DONE. I HAVE SHRINKAGE BUT AS MY LOCS GROW I KNOW THAT THEY WILL STRETCH TO WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSE TO BE. IT'S AMAZING JUST TO WATCH MY HAIR TRANSFORM. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!
Exotic1288 I Started My Locs Dec24/2017 I'm Actually 4 Mths In I Jst Did My 4th Mth Wash & Retwist I'm Loving The Journey Bt I Wash My Hair If I Think It's Needed That's Like 2 x's A Month We Got This Let's Get It
Best starter loc video I've seen on here and I've seen alot...so excited I'm getting mines done today. Her hair grew alot too. Did she use the stocking/mesh cap method to wash her hair herself?
i was worried i started my locs too thin but mine are about the same as hers. so im about 5 months in and some of hair is starting to loc but i have a question. my starter locs are VERY frizzy. is it ok to use a crochet needle to pull in the loose hairs? is it ok to use the needle to blunt the tips? my hair isn't as coarse as you clients fyi. thanks
I have a question I been twisting my hair since February and growing my hair since October 12th (yes I remember my date lol) and just curious can I actually get it locked up or do I have a little more time to go?
Hello, I am headed into six months on 2/24/19 I started out short and did wash my hair once I felt it needed it. @ 5 months I had no money to get my hair retwisted so I attempted it myself. It came out nice but did not last long maybe because I don't have a hair dryer and attempt to dry by blow drying it. I also tied the clips and clipped them blind. (No idea where I clipped them or it on the loc. But that's what first time is with no help) I will try it again now with your help. I love how you did it and I hope with more practice I'll get the hang of it. Thank you for your help. I will not quite. I look forward to seeing what comes of my loc journey. I'm gray and I love it Any videos like this help so much. Again, thanks for your time
I'm starting my locs with Nubian twist (weave I'm going to let it grow out for a couple of months and then I'm going to take out. please do u have any pointers with doing this way.
I started my journey on the 16th of March with braids I need to wash my hair like when can I do that l sweat a lot in my head and don't want my hair to smell plze help l am new to this
oops i been scratching like crazy glad you said that now ill pat btw can you tell me a good shampoo to use i see a lot of people use dr bonner castile soap (mint)
How does the twist stay in place with no gel? I would love to not have to buy products for hold if I don't have to , but will the new growth unravel after a couple of days?
Hey im considering starting locs soon lol and i want small locs like this.... what do i tell the stylists? Like i want like 250 locs and thats the reason i wanted brotherlocs but with comb coil/palmrolling i can maintain them myself.... or my wife can lol just looking for any suggestions. Thank you great video by the way!
I’ve had my hair loc’d for 1 year and 1 month now and I finally love them. My son has been free-forming his hair for 2 months but now wants me to try retwisting them but I’m unsure if I should use water and oil or a product. He has very course hair which is great because his hair is already locing. Can you recommend something?
Peaaaaace Love and Olive oil!! ❤🖤💚 So I really dig that you are not using gel on her hair per request but still. My question is how long does her loce stay up to par with just oil and water; inbetween yall sessions,?
I just recently combed my locks out from having them for 5 years because I started experiencing thinning in my crown and edges due to stress. I have been getting my hair healthy again and am a loose natural. I really miss my locs and want them again but not quite sure if it’s wise..
U are the bomb...I am so ready to start my Journey after watching several of your videos new subby here I am in love with your work... Where are you located?
How often do you get a retwist I got my hair twisted to start dreadlocks july28th 2020 still no wash I was told not to wash till my hair is locked where are you located? City,and state
I’m into my 4th week of locs. They were retested at week 3 without being washed. What was used was a dry wash which was a new process for me. I noticed some flaking but with some included itching. I think I’m overdue for a wash. My concerns : 1. I wear a hat with stocking cap 2. I can smell sweat at times 3. I want to learn to retwist myself
Hey have you seen Kris Mcdreads instant locs video? His method seems to loc the hair real good on starter locs...I'll try find the Link. You did a great job..love your videos❤
Hey I just wanna know if you start your loc journey with short hair (like how Zion started his) Hw long should u take before washing your hair so it won't unravel. Thank you!
I love how transparent you are about the whole loc journey process 💜 I can’t wait to see her journey flourish ✨
So
Can you use soft hair for locks?
@@zenobiaopoku-darkwah6625 Yes. mine is extremely soft. I am in my third month and they are already thickening and locking.
Great video. It was rough for me in the beginning. But here I am, 6 months away from my 2 year loc anniversary. After some time passed, I began to embrace the roughness. I love the way my hair looks with the new growth. Absolutely love it!

How long are you locd now?
Yes. The stocking cap worked for my son
the stocking cap or even better a wig net/cap will help keep the new locs from unraveling while allowing you to get to your scalp
Usong less products will also help reduce the need to wash frequently.
Thank you so much for this! I just got starter locs with comb coils 5 days ago. I was very skeptical about the advice I received about not washing for several weeks.

How are they now?

Brittany Miller did you start
Hello, How long does it take to finish styling?
I needed this video. I am truly stuggling but trying my best to trust the process. The beginning phase is not cute at all on me.
I’m into my 4th week of locs. They were retested at week 3 without being washed. What was used was a dry wash which was a new process for me. I noticed some flaking but with some included itching. I think I’m overdue for a wash. My concerns :
1. I wear a hat with stocking cap
2. I can smell sweat at times
3. I want to learn to retwist myself
What kind of oil do you use?
Very beautiful I Love it
What are you spraying on the hair?
♡♡♡♡♡♡ Great tutorial! Where are you located?
So what is interlocking?
Hey have you seen Kris Mcdreads instant locs video? His method seems to loc the hair real good on starter locs...I'll try find the Link.

@Dxylocs what size are these locs?
Thanks for sharing
Lovely x
thanks for sharing sisters
Great!
Hey I just wanna know if you start your loc journey with short hair (like how Zion started his) Hw long should u take before washing your hair so it won't unravel. Thank you!
Tyrell Dacosta 2-3 months
Lol as she said in the vid you can wash your hair when you feel it's dirty.
Hi! Unraveling is sometimes inevitable as it is part of the process. Some ways to prevent it are; washing gently or using a mesh cap
I keep coming back to her video. Would it be possible to get an update on her?
