Hey there! I know I comment on so many of your videos but I’m grateful for your content. Your journey to locs and lifestyle resonate with me. I wish I had come across a video like this over a year ago when I took out my sisterlocks. I too had people questioning why I would loc my hair when my loose curl pattern was so “pretty”. I started questioning it myself thinking it was taking me more time, patience and money to get my hair to just stay in a locked formation. But I’ll know better for my second (longer lasting) loc journey. Thank you again for sharing your story!❤
Wow! What a journey! It's so hard because locs can still be "taboo" for people and sometimes even natural hair. I am excited to hear that you decided to give it another go. Did you install sisterlocks again?
@@aishastack No, not yet. Part of my issue with sisterlocks was that I wasn’t accustomed to being dependent on someone to do my hair regularly (similar to what you mentioned on your video with your husband). I’m strongly considering diy braidlocs. Right now I’m trying to allow my hormones to stabilize as I’m 9 months post partum with my fourth child. I want to make sure I have a strong hair foundation to establish it. Hoping things normalize within the next couple of months but definitely before the end of the year.
@@bealexisj Oh I get that. That's one of the reasons I got microlocs. I wanted to be able to maintain if I had to. Good thing because I was doing my locs during the pandemic.
Hi! Great storytime and advice. Tho ain't gonna lie... 🥺 Somedays its hard to look at today and envision the future with my locs... especially when seeing locs as G-GOR-GEE-OSE as yours at your three and one-half year mark. I'm at almost two years. Looking forward to more length.
I get that! Waiting on our locs to flourish is so so hard. I gave myself 5 years to see what they would do so perhaps give it some more time to do what it does best. Then reevaluate. See where it takes you.
Wow, that sounds like my loc life. After i got them, people were like why did you do that, your hair is too pretty for that, take them out, are you crazy....and I thought about taking them out...but then I remembered why I got them, for the ease. It took me 45 minutes to do my hair everyday. I am thankful I left them in. You have also helped me. I was like my locs do not look like everyone else's. My strands would not stay in the locs...oh well now I deal with it 😊.
That's awesome!! 45 minutes is just too much and locs are free and just beautiful for certain lifestyles. My hair will always fight to get out of the loc but I love it and glad you are enjoying the journey.
Two days locked and loving it. I stayed in the salon getting protective styles, until I decided I may as well get microlocs. I have bra strap length hair and detangling it became a task, not to mention I workout a lot.
I sweat in my head or on my scalp without working out and that’s a constant problem as my infant locs smell of sweat so I’m constantly cleaning. I think I’ll wash weekly

Oh for sure. That is some long natural hair! Having locs have been a blessing in so many ways.
I got the song reference! 😉
YYYEEESSS!
