I live in South Africa where “Bantu” means people (in the Nguni languages) here so we didn’t call them that until American popular culture filtered into our social media etc. I grew up calling the Pom-poms or amabhola (the second term literally just means balls lol).. Your journey is lovely to watch
That’s interesting . I’ve always known them for Bantu knots because of Africans called them that. When showed that the women were married or something along that line.
i have officially been loc’d up for 10 weeks now. I’ve been feeling some insecurity because of the length and thinness but every time i watch you, you give me that energy boost of confidence and security in my locs! i love the loc empowerment lol so inspiring 🥲 and btw to transition from watching Alana and now you !!! OMG😭😭😭 thats so crazy my favorites i still watch her even though with my loc
The Bantu knots were known as Scary Spice hair when I was a kid 😂 my hair is a few inches shorter than yours but I feel like I could rock them and the bangs were adorable 🦄
" The video starts at 3:58" lol you are absolutely right and very intelligent. People tend to lose viewers due to starting late. My attention span is short like most and I go through videos quick and so far yours and a couple more are the best!!!! You get to the point!
Thanks boo! And I got them on Etsy but the vendor I used doesn’t seem to have them anymore and I haven’t been able to find the right size since with anyone 😭 hence why I have very few in right now (I can’t replace them as they fall out over time). If I find more that are the right size I’ll let y’all know in a video! ❤️
love all of these! Crazy that you mentioned you've become so tender headed since having your locs. And honestly I was just saying that the other day! I used to have these tight slicked back looks and now anything even remotely pulling im like uh uh get rid of it!!!
Proud of him too👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 yay for the promotion!! Black love, love to see it !! ♥️ and the hair styles are fire. Can't wait till my babies are long enough to do these styles
im sorry cause everyone probably already knows this answer but new subscriber here and loving the channel, how many locs do you have? i've watched a few videos but cannot find where you mentioned it before
I honestly loved all four styles but my fav was the bun and bang as well. I can't wait to start doing more styles once my locs get longer. I love watching all your videos 🦄🦄
I think they’re all cute but my favorite was the 2 cornrow. I think imma wear that to Cancun . But I loved the bang style also. You’re so beautiful and ABSOLUTELY LOVE how you speak life into your man!!!!
I never knew about Bantu knots until I had been natural for a little while. So maybe 2013 or 2014. I’m 20 now. I really like the Bantu knot style on you! 😍 I miss being able to do them when I didn’t have locs and I normally don’t like to use rubber bands but I might have to. I wanna do that style
You have pretty locs so I think it really doesn't matter what style u choose. Me honestly, I'm a bunty knotz girl!! I always rock the knots...you are pretty regardless.
This is my first time watching your channel and I loved it! You're lovely, fun, and the styles are cool. Got a few ideas even though my locs are a bit longer than yours, but I can adapt to the styles shown if I want to. THANKS!!
I love all of the styles.. especially the last 3. the 1st one i will just do as a prep. I will do the 1st one at night to take down the next day. the after affect is gorgeous 😍
I love them ALL !!!! This really helped me on my new loc journey....about 4-5 weeks in. Bantu & Bangs are both my favorite. You're so pretty. Thank you !!!
You hooked these styles up omg! And your love is beautiful. It was so nice to see such a lovely couple! I wasn't expecting that. And congrats on whatever the big win was. Happy for you both!
That’s a wicked wire idea🎉 Look 1 is cuuuttee😊 Look 2 is my next try 💪🏾 Look 3 I have to go back and check🤦🏾♀️ah the braids. Yeah they looked cute on you. Look 4 is my next try actually. I love the bow look💃🏾💃🏾 Well done on the baes promo. Hope y’all are still together seeing as I’m 2 years late😂
My locs are about the same length of yours, loved the bantu knots, Very successful, loved the bangs because I have a large forehead and I think it would look cute on me. 🦄
I liked all of them. Can't really decide if I liked one of them better than the others. Bantu knots were cute, but I think the bang was cute too. 🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
You are adorable anyways so any style you do is going to look awesome but my favorite was the bantu knots and the bangs were a very close second for me
Love love love these styles definitely needed this not due for a retwist but need something different. YASSSS FOR THE FAMU BOO & the promotion! Go Rattlers
Looovve!! I have needed to try something new with my locs for forever. I had been limited because my job required a hard hat, but that has been released so I'm ready to dive in. Thank you for sharing! They were all gorgeous but I think the last one is my fave. 💜
also, can't get over how your locs are maturing more and more, right in front of our eyes.
Isnt it crazy?! 🥲 it’s all happening so fast.

Honestly
I live in South Africa where “Bantu” means people (in the Nguni languages) here so we didn’t call them that until American popular culture filtered into our social media etc. I grew up calling the Pom-poms or amabhola (the second term literally just means balls lol)..
