    Honestly if it wasn’t for your channel I probably wouldn’t have had the courage to lock my hair. You show just truly how diverse locks can be and it made me not feel so stuck in my journey. Current 8 months locked and loving it 😊

      ​​@@SharmelLynnette my locs are breaking some say it is the color I used. What do you have about this and which color products do you recommend?

    Girl you're the real mvp. I love how you broke so many rules yet you never gave up the journey. I enjoy changing colors as well so this video was for me. I'm now in the 2 strand twist phase and I can't wait to get to your length.

    You are the QUEEN!! Love the way you BUSTED a lot of the ‘taboos’ and ‘myths’ surrounding locs!
    I also love that you do your own styles/ loc maintenance, too, this saving lots of money!💚

    I love this update. I became obsessed with your channel last year when I was contemplating finally deciding to loc my hair. I was never a loose natural either, I was a wig, braid all things protective style girly and kept rocking my faux locs... once I saw how much versatility you showed with your vids I got my hair loc'd Jan 2023...I am mostly enjoying the process but have my days and your video really helped me know that I will get to the other side, literally all the things you are saying like how the locs were locking but your hair looked limp 😢 I was like wow.... your vid renewed my hope that may sound corny but it really did I can't wait until I reach 1yr and beyond... thank you😊❤

    I am beginning my loc journey. My baby girl put them in 2 strand twists. Went looking for an informative, not too much talking,straight to the point video. And i found yours. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. Thank you for showing the different stages. Watching your videos is helping me since I live 6 hours from my daughter. Thanks for debunking the myths about locs. Keep up the great and amazing work and videos.

    I just wanted to say I LOVE that you had fun and you loved every STEP of your journey. I watched this video all the way through. You didn't let other opinions or societies expectations change your path. And thats what influences others to think "you know what, I may be going through this journey. But I can make it me." I've always struggled with my hair. When I started getting braids I became addicted. Being sad about take downs, trying to get the first 2 rows re-braided so I didn't have to take it down. I've been looking at starting my locs, and your video was just the video I needed to see. I loved how you stated you was going through different hair phases and embraced every single style. Just goes to show sometimes you know whats best for you. Keep doing you boo 💓

  • @teyperview
    @teyperview Рік тому

    I absolutely love this video!! I’ve been loc’d since august 2020- started with 6 inch loc extensions added to my natural hair, and I’ve trimmed my locs quite a bit since. I want to go back to that shoulder length look as well. I love the length I have now just to effortless throw up in a bun or do styles easily.. but realistically, I wear my hair down in braid outs or perm rod curls. That shorter length is just bomb! I think I’m ready to cut after seeing so many styles you were able to achieve at the shorter lengths

    I love your hair. but I don/t like the wig curls added to your locs. it took away from the look of the locs... I am sorry you wasn't so happy about your loc journey to the point of adding weaves and wigs etc... over all you are pretty and I love your locs even when it was short. you left a piece of extension twisted in the back
