  • @kenyasmall8041
    @kenyasmall8041 3 роки тому +31

    I have a better understanding of the budding process now. I thought budding was the process of my starter locs shrinking and knotting over time from daily moisturizing, and as my hair shrinks it begins to form a matrix of knots internally. I didn’t take into account the interaction of the starter loc with the shed hair building the internal matrix. So thank you

    Thanks for this video! My inner hair nerd likes your very scientific drawing and your humor as you teach🤓 I think you were having trouble finding a distinct bud/bulge because your loc budding looks far along, with the puffiness taking over most of the length of each loc - I'd say yours are almost "teenagers," the next milestone to watch for! Between my start on May 28 and this week (1st retwist this Sunday, July 7), I already have 1 bud on nearly every loc🎉 - more photos for my Loc Journey Album! So, I'm excited to watch your journey and read everyone's loc experiences - keep "growing," everybody!

My texture is really silky. My goal is the bohemian locs like Lisa Bonet’s bcuz my texture being like hers. I guess bcus of my texure my budding is a little different or i think it’s different. I started my sons and my daughters locs… i guess I didn’t pay attention other than doing their retwist. I know each journey is different. It is starting to bud though.

    Girl you said you not a loctician well I beg to differ. I think you are a loctician. It’s really all about the knowledge and you definitely have it. This is the best video on utube pertaining to locs and budding. I’m as you in my four five month zone and some have loc ed others still completely unravel and I’m starting them again even at this stage. I do have a lot of budding. My budding started in the middle of my locs and some at the end but my roots just wasn’t budding or loc ing. So for me it’s frustrating but I’m hanging in there because once I saw my hair budding I knew then that eventually it will completely bud and loc throughout and your video explained just that. This video is definitely a well needed tutorial for those of us that are beginners trying to figure out what is going on with our hair. I believe this video will encourage a lot just to be patient and keep on going with the journey because everyone’s hair is different. I have started to wear my hair in more protective style to keep it from unraveling until it locs up. It’s a frustrating process for me but I’m being patient and I’m going to hang in there for a year to see how my hair turns out and yes I do my own hair. Thanks again for the knowledgeable, encouraging video. Please keep them coming. I have officially crowned you as a master loctician 🌹🌹

    This was the most helpful video about budding, and understanding the process. I'm still unclear as to what I am seeing on some of my locs is budding or bunching, but I will give it more time to see, and try to stop smoothing them out lol.

As I am definitely in my budding stage and im so happy about it!! I’ve finally made some progress that I can really see! I’ve been spraying my hair with water and oil for two months now, but I’ve been growing my locs for five months so far. The moisture definitely helps speed up the locking process. I cant wait to reach my year mark! Im definitely gonna upload a video about it cause it been a long time coming lol. But anyways thanks for this info!
