5 STAGES
1. Coils
2. Pre loc
3. Sprouting
4. Growth
5. Maturation
Thank you lol
This is the ONLY video on youtube that has left me feeling satisfied on knowing about locks. Now I understand a lot more. THANK YOU
Lil Soldier boy deadass, she explained everything so well
Lil Soldier boy this video is soooo good
Agreed
Couldn't agree more. Many other videos just talk about the "how to" not the technicalities behind the growth. She explains it so well.
Facts. I was worried lol
I loved the budding stage! You can see it traveling the length of the loc until it's a little knot that detaches from the end, so cute! That was many many years ago. She's fully mature and probably a couple of feet long now. Watching each stage was such a joy to me. I was fully committed to the process of locing and was willing to go through it. You have to love your hair and what she's doing from start to end. Please quit yearning for length! It will come! Just keep her clean and healthy and moisturized and she will love you for the love you show her.
I love how detailed an informational you are a true loc technician indeed
I'm located in Roseville Michigan.
Young lady, this is the best video about locs, I have ever seen in my 22 years of being locked. Excellent. Well done. Outstanding. I’m applauding, giving you a standing ovation, and bringing you flowers to the stage!!!!! I’m subscribing. How lucky was I to be scrolling??? God bless, sis. Where are you located?
Damn does this message come with head too?
Wrd 😂😂😂😂
I'm located in Roseville Michigan
I'm from Port Huron... Now living in Tucson

I’m a white artist trying to draw a black character with locs. This video helped me a lot to understand how they work, thank you!
We Stan. Represent!
I’d love to see your artwork
Yeah, please show us your art. I would love to see it.
Thank you for this!! Straight and to the point, lots of pics and no obnoxious music🎉
I started with two strand twist! Now I’m almost 4 years locd. Your channel is so inspirational. I started to film my loc journey as well! Love your videos! Keep them coming 🙌🏽
Patience is a virtue with this process. My stylist said a year or more with my texture. I’m still learning what works for me. I’m excited to try rose water 😊😎!
Rose water is bae
I went through every stage you referred to and learned on my own. I now have locs to my butt and going. Thank you for the story.
amazing!!!!!
I love to hear that
For some reason I just love to see a beautiful black sister with locs especially long ones
Cold Zero 🙋🏿♂️ too 🤦🏿♂️
You know what you're doing and it shows. Your locks are absolutely beautiful!
You explained the 5 stages so well. Your delivery was perfect. I'm 4 days into my loc journey thanks for the video keep them coming.
I am going into my 4 week of starter Locs and I’m enjoying the process and progress. But I’m so happy this video showed up in my que to must watch. You explained what I can expect in weeks, months, and years ahead. Thank you for breaking all this down so well for me so I won’t freak out when I see these things start to happen. I love you and your family’s Locs. And I’ve just become a new subscriber to your channel.🤗
I am one of the ones that think my hair is supposed to be loc'd like now😫....but I've decided to comb them out and start again with 2 strands due to my fine hair texture...tha me for breaking down the phases and NOW I understand..3rd times the charm!
You got it!
@@DXlocs thanks love
Das Wild Cuz I’m On My Third Set Of Locs Jus Started Dem 3 Days Ago
Thanks for this vid!!! I remember going through all of those stages but I had no idea what was happening. I learned that texture matters so much. My husband's hair loc'd so much faster than mine. And I had way more frizz. But patience paid off and I loved them!!! I had them for over ten years, but had to cut them due to health reasons. Five years later, I'm ready to start them again. But, I'm not looking forward to that first year of looking "crazy"!!!
I’m about to start the process after being natural for 7 years. This was very informative. My mom who started her own locs are starting mines and I’m ready to start.
Welcome to the journey!
I love my locs and the story they tell 💁🏾♀️ ♥️
I was natural for about 10 years and just started mine a month ago
@@julialcornelius5442 I'm thinking about starting mine 😊
How are your locs coming along???
Will be 2 years and collar bone length now
Yesssssssssssssss finally someone who understood it and knows it.
I’d been natural for at least 3 yrs, then done the dreaded relax, then dyed two weeks later. That was feb 19, by May 19 I chopped it off & started to try to locs up, I just grabbed what I could initially & and left it in till 12 weeks, I saw some good growth so decided to contour my journey went all out got the hair gel and everything.
This video has given me the best hair inspiration I’ve ever had.
Thank you🙏🏾
Thank you for educating me through step by step and demonstrated by showing illustrations help me to visualize each stage.
Thank you for watching 🥰🥰🥰
I could get used to this. A video every day from one of my faves! 💕
Your voice is so soothing it just puts me right to sleep and I mean that in a good way
I had no idea that there were 5 stages to the locking process. I'm on day 3 of my loc journey and you have helped me tremendously.
Thank you for thoroughly explaining the loc process I just started my locs two months ago and the fizz and unraveling had me worried but now I understand it’s part of the process
I'm 3 months in my loc journey an parts of my hair is starting to bud I finally got some hang time 😂
thanks, so helpful. I was about to get frustrated about my nearly 9 month locs. You give me hope!
I started my coils 7/27 & just when I thought I was educated UA-cam suggested this & I didn’t skip a second. Thank you 🙏🏾
I love this thank you so much. The shrinkage is so hard to deal with lol! I assume it's going to be long then nope!
So glad I found this video. Started my loc journey 2 months ago. This really helped me appreciate the stage I'm in and just be patient in the moment.
This video really made me understand the process and now I understand and know more of what to expect and what to look forward too .. day 3 of my comb twist journey
I think different parts of my hair is going through different phases.
Mine too
Thank youuuuu so much. I kept hearing about ugly phase and it lightweight scared me, but now I can just use your five terms... I appreciate your chill flow of the video, very easing to my nervousness about starting my journey. I'm almost ready to begin. 😀
I started my locs four different times because each time I was never satisfied with the coil pattern. I'm a perfectionist but came to realize my locs won't be perfect so leaving good enough alone I finally started them for the fourth & final time
Thanks for explaining the stages or help me a lot. I am in my 1st year on Dec 21,2018. It is a journey.....
The first year is exciting! Only up from here
I'm glad I watched this video. This is my second set in which I started myself, and I was worried that I'd done something wrong. But this video has reassured me that I need to trust the process, and my hair is somehow remembering because my hair is progressing faster than my first set.
Thank you so much I started my Loc's on July 18th I am so happy for my journey.
I just started my journey on Tuesday with the coil method. I'm excited for my journey! I started with a fro so I'm really in the baby phase!
shes so pretty😍
I like this video and how you explained everything. When I started I had medium long hair. When I used the two strand method, my hair shrunk! I felt bald headed, moving forward around my 5th month of my process, I began to notice my length. As of right now I’m almost locked for a year and I noticed that I have not seen any new growth unless I put my hair up into a ponytail. But regardless of all that I’m glad I locked my hair and I wish I did it sooner but the important thing is I’ve done it.
This was DEFINITELY needed. Thank you 👌
Hands up to you!!! This is the most informative video I have watched 💕💕
Am on first stage started with combcoils, looking forward to the locs journey 😍 3weeks old today
She is the best.. I also love ❤️ her work.. she blessed my hair this past November..So, make sure you make an appointment.. She is amazing 😉
P.s Thanks again, wish I could come to you all the time😔
Thank you love! It was awesome to finally meet you! Hopefully I’ll get to retwist your locs ❤️❤️
Thank you!! This video helps a ton, no one has ever mentioned a pre loc stage. I’m at 4 months now, and was nervous bc I felt like my locs should be further along now. But you’ve explained everything so well! I feel like I’m in the pre loc stage.
This UA-cam channel is the lock bible I tell you🤩👏🏽🙌🏽
5 weeks in, budding and loving it. 3rd set of locs. Looking forward to this journey again.
FYI You are soooo pretty & I loveeeee your eyes 😍😍 ... but let's not forget the amazing work you do on these locs 🙌🏾 !!!! Oh btw, I started with 2 strand twist in Feb of this year & I lovee my locs, just wish I had more hair density.
Thank you!! Density was my issue too 😓
I’m so happy I ran across this video.. I’m getting mines sooon
I just want to say I'm excited about your new location announcement! Although I live up north I would make that trip. I've watched all your loc extensions video's. Your work is amazing. Many blessings and positive energy to you.
I'm so excited for the location announcement. I dont know why though it's not like you're coming northeast. Great video as always!
Thank you ,now I understand. I started my journey November 2021 and only had 1 retwist session ,due to my ignorance of how the process suppose to be ,nothing to do with the loctition..I just didn't know what questions to ask about the process. So my daughter who knows a little something about doing has been doing them for me and everything you just explained is happening. I only wish I didn't get discouraged and stop going for the retwist ,not that my daughter isn't doing a great job bc she is but I wish I would have stuck with the lady that started them..Now my understanding is clearer as to what to expect, I pray that she can continue through my journey..thank you so much..you're an excellent teacher ❤️
Glad that I could help 🥰🥰🥰
Girl I'm trill about the way you've took your time and patience to talk it through stage by stage with us, I really appreciate you effort.
God bless you and I wish you all the best.
Regards beautiful Jamaican queen I want to be going to start my locks tomorrow 👌
Thank you for breaking it down in phases including pictures and going into detail I'm trying to begin this journey and discovering not a lot of people are breaking it down into segments as you are
Thank you for this very informational video. I am deployed and I rewisted my hair for the first time. It was so hard to palm roll it and do the back of my head. It took me 5 hours. It didn't come out to bad. Then yesterday I thinking to comb it our and go back to my curls. Then I really didn't want to do that because this is my third time trying the locs. This time I want to stick with it and this has helped me tremendously.
The best explanation I've heard since researching locs. Thank you for sharing. Very informative
Thank you, I'm truly enjoying taking in a wealth of information as I've just started 6/29.
Wonderful!
I’m seven months in so far really can’t wait😅😌 and luv they video feel like it help calm my self😅😂
Yes please...please make a video about instant locs!! Thanks for the great info.
One of the best videos I have watched with information about locs. Very well explained. Love the pictures. Thank you so much!
Interlocking video pleeeeaaassseee!! I started with coils but because of scalp issues and needing more frequent washings I ended up getting interlocked.
I’ll see what I can do ☺️
Just started my journey on Wednesday. This video has been most enlightening and informative
This is soooo helpful i want to start Loc’s and i didn’t know what to expect but you are super informative
Thank you for the insight. FINALLY, a video that makes sense. The frizzy stage is annoying, but now I understand why I need to let it be. Thank you
I understand both starting locs with long and short hair as I am locking my long hair and my undercut at the same time. And the shrinkage is REAL. I’m my short undercut there’s not much but with my longer hair it almost matches the length of my short hair.
Idk why the music you used for the slide show was SO funny to me, almost like something from a futuristic SpongeBob episode with a mix of soca 😂, but this video is definitely so helpful because I’m a visual/audible learner. You don’t get much of that in information videos about locs. I’m 4 days in and I’m ready to go! ✨🤗
You got this 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you this helped me tremendously
I'll b 2yrs in Dec 27 i might start interlock N luv all stages of growth 💜💜✌✌♾loc'D
I just got my starter dreads I am so excited!!!
Can you give an update on how the process is going for you? I just started mine August 1st.
I've been worried about my hair but this reassured me, I can tough it out!
Stage 2...almost looks the locs are pregnant 5:20 ...hahahahahaaa! That got me LOL!
This video made me understand a lot better of the process due to me being so inpatient
Great vid. I think I’m sorta in between the 1st, 2nd and 3rd phase. I started a week ago but she used a hook tool to do a knot at the root for some areas, the rest of the strand is interlocked, like sisterlocks but bigger. I have traditional locs. I started with a nice length of hair, maybe a little past shoulders.
Some places are already producing little bulbs, so it’s doing its thing I guess 😂. It’s definitely a process!! Looking forward to it and the final result. My hair needs a lot of moisture so I am constantly hitting with water and various oils until I can go full steam with some heavier products 😂.
I’m glad she used a hook tool, I can be a little more handsy 😂. I also use a dry cleanser until I can really wash it like I want. I wouldn’t wait months to wash hair, that’s not necessary 😂 for blacks to do. You can use a stocking cap and wash if you’d like.
Drinking a lot of water is important and I’d recommend taking some fish oil as well and of course eating as balanced as you can. One thing is for sure you will get to know you hair!!
Wow!! Thank you for this. I started my locs with "the big chop" at the end of September and now I know where I am in my journey thanks to you 🖤. I am between stages 4 and 5. I love to play in them, they feel great 😃😄!! I use Carol's Daughter milk pudding and oils.
I'm thinking of locing but I've been somewhat confused on what to do. This video has enlightened me on what to do. I'm definitely locing.
Gona do locs can’t deal with weaves n the money buying hair or products let alone i dnt I neglect my hair I hide my hair under weave for years n my scalp is sensitive so I’m gona do locs
Thank you for this! I washed and did a retwist last night and i was discouraged by all the frizz! However i love it! My hair is at different stages lol
This tutorial set me straight. I thought I was going hit to a slope, but you help reassure me. Thanks!
First glad to see fellow Haitian making things happen on UA-cam your a real inspiration but i have a question i am at month 5 i get them retwisted every two weeks is that bad for my locs at all should i put more space in between the retwist
Every two weeks is too much. It'll put too much tension on your follicles and will eventually thin your hair.
Yes! Please do a video about instant locs!!
I love this video. You really have a way of explaining the stages and supporting it with videos that I understand. I’m at the budding stage which made me so confused about the process
i was feeling kinda down because of my 2 weeks locs looking like they look right now.. and i didnt understand why.. now i know.. THANK YOU!.
Hey girl Hey!!! Thank u so much for this info. Now a interlocking video next maybe???
Blessings to u and yours
Where was this videos when I started in August 😂 it’s just me myself and my frizzys (the cuteeeee part🙄 ppl with locs leave out) 😂😂😂
Awesome video!!! I’m currently almost a week into my 2nd & finally set of locs. I want to really embrace the stages this time around & this video was such a blessing in helping me understand what will happen. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
hi, how do you know what size locs are best for your client that's just starting their loc journey.
I'd love to see a response to this...
@@jsan6928 me too!
I would stay on the thicker side to be safe.(less than 90 locs)
I Think People Like Having 120+ Locs. Especially If Yo Hair Thick
I recently got a loc install and I didn't know about this process thank you so much
Glad to know the frizz is normal, I’m about 5 months in I started with a pretty big fro and when I get retwisted they get pretty frizzy about a week later 😅
This August will make my 2 yr loc-iversary. I really feel like somewhere along my journey something may have gone wrong. I still have my starter coils on the tips of the major or my locs and I think opting for smedium sized locs may have been a mistake as well. Also some of my locs have a small hole on them. BUT regardless of my weird journey I learned a lot from this video and will continue growing my locs.
Thank you so much for this video. I was starting to worry about my hair not locking, shrinking like crazy and mad frizzy !
I have a lot of thin hair and my texture is 4a/4b. I started my journey 4 months ago
Thank you so much for explaining the process. I started my loc journey in May of 2019, and I was worried. Now I understand......👍
Ann Wilson I started mine 5.26.2019, and I didn’t know all of this either. Lol
@@desireesmith5921 good luck on your loc journey 👍
Thank you for sharing my locs are 3 weeks old . After your video I’m kind of scare but also confident at the same time. I don’t know how my locks going to turn... it’s a journey we’ll see🤓🤓🤓 and am glad to see you representing Haïti 🇭🇹 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Whoa an actual step by step , love your precision
I really want to loc my hair so badly, thank YOU
I have to agree what she said you really need a lot of patience and it will come
Getting hair done soon and your channel has helped tremendously 🙌🏾 thank you
Your teachings are amazing !!! Thank you.
Oh nice! Starting from scratch. You’ll be amazed at how they progress
I love the frezz... show me what my hair supposed to be doing.. I just keep it moist
Awesome! Thank you so much for breaking down the steps!
This is the best video on fully understanding the locking process. Or just the entire journey. Thank you lol Noone else can explain what budding is the way you did haha
Would luv to know more about insta locs. I just started mine about a month ago. Definitely want to know about stages and caring for them
I started 3 months ago with 2 strand and the struggle is REAL!
Yes it is real but it shall pass you need a lot of patience
