My mission is to empower creative thinkers and thought leaders to deepen relationships with others and creativity in their gifts so they can feel more passionate and less lonely in life :) In this video, I tell you all about things I have learned about locs and how it has continued to be a spiritual journey for me. I have had my locs for almost two years now (In Novermber will be two years) and there are many other things I continue to learn as I progress. I hope that what I have learned is helpful to others!

I’m also a semi-freeformer and I’m considering braiding my new growth with my locs (since my new growth grows away from my locs). I just use light oils when I retwist (no gels, etc). However a couple of weeks after I retwist that good ole new growth doesn’t wanna stay with the loc. How has your experience been with braiding your new growth with your locs? Do they unravel? Do you notice a difference with implementing the braiding technique for maintenance? 🌻
Sometimes the braiding technique does unravel, especially if i dont do it consistently every time I was, so what you’re experiencing is pretty normal. I would say keep doing it at a frequency you feel comfortable with. You may find the want to do it every time you wash, or every other wash
Love your locs!!!!
Thank you!
Thx for the video. I am 6 months in with my second set and I am in the awkward stage now...the strugle with this set is real. I don't feel attractive at all but spiritually it wil helps me to go within.
It is definitely a huge spiritual shift when you go through that stage. It's the most beautiful part when you look back on it though!
Our hair type is like our individual fingerprint 💗
Yes thats so true
Omg! I love this comparaison
Love your locs I’m 8 months & 22 days in my journey and loving it 🏆♥️
10 months here!! Yasssss! Keep going sis!
Thank you! Beautiful loc journey
I just hit 8 months today !!!
@@KaylaL6149 congrats!
You and your hair are wonderful!!
Thank you! ❤❤
Your locs look beautiful and healthy! ✨
Thank you!!
I started my locs with Bantu knots 😩
That's very unique I haven't heard of that often!
Style the hair with bantu knot to start loc is very good one idea.
It protects the root and the end of the hair, you don’t have to struggle (like 2 stand twist more « fragile », and this is why when I retwisted my hair, I used to hairstyle like this) and the hairstyle is like a natural retwist cause i twist my hair to create this bun, and after a while it’s like pull on the rope, beautiful natty curl dread and feeling the nappy root. Love this sensation 👌🏾
It is a beautiful journey. You are as well. Keep going 🙌🏿
Thank you so much!
Your locs are beautiful! I have 70 locs and also used the brick method!
Thank you! That's a great method
I am also starting my locks with 2 strand twist, but I only have 42. Is that a decent number to start with
Yes
Yes and congrats on starting your hair journey!
Great video
Thank you!
Holistic~what'up,Yeah.pofessional shots!catch you later.
Hey Flo ✌🏾 didn’t noticed the tattoo before ( maybe ain’t watching since a while too 😅) but it very cool
I just wanna know yur opinion about something, cause you talk about spirituality, hair, and the connection with the both.
First thing I am thinking about is : do you shave you body hair? Cause, for some ppl , when it’s about spirituality start to enjoy this journey, hair is not only about the vibrations of your head ( aka crown chakras) but also the whole body.
Second thing is: I separed some congo dread with ✂️. Cause I start feeling the weight (specially the back and just a lil bit in some side of my head) I still have bongo dread and i love my hair, I know in the futur maybe it will combining again 😅 anyways. Now I am feeling lighter, less headache, even during work out session or just have clearer mind. Just wanna make a comparaison: imagine all the cables of your connection were forming several nodes and because of that, you manage less and less to capture your connection. And after, when you have unraveled all that, you find your connection back at home and with full hd 4k quality.
So with the « having dreadloc is like having antennas » thing, do you think the weight of our hair can also Have an impact in our spirit, energy, etc ( it can impact our health cause this is why some ppl cut their hair)
So I am curious, to know your pov, to know when you are at this level as a teacher and creator on this sector
Hi! Thanks for your questions, they are great questions! To answer the first one: i will shave my body hair whenever i feel like it. I often let my leg hair grow out for months but hair on other parts of my body i will remove moreso for hygiene reasons. I agree that hair and spirituality goes beyond just the hair on the head. However, i also believe that since our crown is the closest thing to the heavens, that it is the most important antennae we have as it pertains to connection with the divine, which is also what aligns with African Spirituality
To answer your second question, i do think that some people get to a point during their loc journey that their head is so heavy from physical weight OR their locs have attracted so much spiritual energy over the years (mostly negative energy has this effect) that they feel weighted down by their crown. I could certainly see both being possibilities of why people would cut their locs. Great questions again and thanks! 🙌🏾
@@holisticflo oh yeah thank you for sharing your pov 🙏🏾
1/ I totally agree with the hygenic reasons 🙏🏾 ( and this is true, cause it remember me when I’d have to go to the hospital. And they shaved me before the interventions). And last part of the connection to the heaven is very interesting
And I wanna know if pregnant Women cut their loc or not ( because of the bump weight or not 😅 cause this is a positive event in our life so, I wanna know if the weight of the hair can influence it. I will know when I’ll be pregnant ☺️)
@@holisticflo 2/ I totally understand the different opinion and the reason why ppl cut the hair. I did it myself so, I think it’s not because you let the knot become dreadloc, you have you handle with other type of knot. For exemple Thicker locs doesn’t mean you have to support of the weight of eveything you know. Weight doesn’t have to hurt you physically and mentally, inside or/and outside. I like to feel my finger in my roots and nappy hair when I am doing massage, I like to feel the air like a tree and the lightness in my hair like a horse. You know this balance, I never seen a horse stuggle because of it so 😂 I try to take example for Nature
And you know what I am just thinking about smth that just came in my mind while i am writing this. 💡🫢
For me dreadlocs is the representation and the reflection of so much things.
For exemple The longer is it, the better you know the personal story of someone (especially if she never cut her hair, it’s a storyteller for real, the best witness of your life 🙏🏾👌🏾)
I am also thinking about 2 characters: Samson And Jesus
I think ppl don’t wanna cut their hair ( for the most spiritual one), because they have to handle With all the weight: weight of their body, weight of the hair, but first of all weight of everything that happend in the world and aroud them (that affect their mind, so their Energy etc) you know like jesus and the holy cross
And the second one: Samson lost his strengh and his power because is lost his hair.
But I am just thinking with a new pov : cause this is also a new start in his life, a new journey. Not only side of the hair story but Also for him.
Look the before/after the event. It’s like what you said, and « say goodbye to the past, the dramatic event in our life event ». Ppl always take the exemple « don’t cut your hair like samsom for this and this », but I just realized something talking with you and have this new perpective. Cuting hair for new start, new you, not only for bad reason ( i think Lenny Kravitz made it)
So thank you very much for this moment 🙏🏾👌🏾
@DEB ORAH thanks so much for your comments!
Do you brush your locs? I heard, people doing that
Yes I do. I usually brush my locs after being outside for a long time or whenever I feel it's necessary. I recommend using a soft bristle brush
