    It doesn't matter if you going hightop or fullhead, the only 2 things you should keep in mind are:-
    1) YOU should be satisfied by what style of locs you are getting.
    2)Stay committed to your journey and TRUST THE PROCESS.
    Stay Lock'd, happy journey 🤍

    I always feel myself going back and forth between growing out to a full set or keeping the high top. The main reason I got locs was to get the Killmonger look but I feel like the locs mean so much more now. After this video, I’m kinda leaning towards the full set.

      @@His_Chozen_1 I personally really like it. I randomly got my hair twisted with gel when I was 12 and at the time I had the high top haircut. I really liked the look, so I never took the twist out and they ended up becoming dreads. Now I’m 16 and there almost at my shoulders. I really just wear my hair down and people at school can never guess that I have high top. My hair is growing really well never dyed it and I never will. Just enjoy, rocking my dreads with my outfits and I don’t care about length that much so the slower growing is not a con for me. But I have lots of locs thanks to my mom giving me lots of twists. So my volume is really good. It’s actually very similar to tps

    The 7th of Dec marks my 6th year w/ high top locs. Honestly, it’s a journey, once your hair grows long enough it’s fun to play around w/ as there’s more styling options imo, that plus the effects of a fresh cut and you can never go wrong. It looks like a full set and that seems to surprise everyone once you reveal it really isn’t. I’d encourage anyone thinking about it to go on and attempt it. But most importantly, be very patient w/ the journey and you’ll be good 😌

    Hey TP, I started with a high top in a sense. My nape was buzzed short. So my nape is about 6 months behind the rest of my locs. I do wish my nape was longer. Would give the appearance of longer locs as you said. But it’s been interesting to see the cut grow out, creates unique shape to the hair.

    Had a high top at first. I had them for about a year before I decided to grow out my undercut and sides for a fuller look. It def was a struggle in the beginning but eventually the undercut and sides grew out long enough that it started to catch up to the rest of my hair. So far they're probably only a inch shorter then my older locs so it's looks like a full head and no one notices I've had a high top. It's definitely possible takes times and a lot patience I've been in the game for a total of 2 years and keeping it going! ☺️✌🏽

  • @TheOnlyTaps

    I think the cons are definitely that lack of range of styles and having to always maintain the sides (especially for work 😂 I always gotta get the sides trimmed so I can tie the hair up or back accordingly) and the pros would be the same as any other loc set. But we'll see how it goes the longer my hair gets coz I'm almost 3 years in and my one regret is that I started my locs really short not when I actually had a long afro but no other regrets.

  • @bassey3802
    @bassey3802 6 місяців тому +2

    As far as point number 1. Mine are now at shoulder length and I keep a skin undercut all the around and it has been the best decision ever avoiding that taper. 5 min to maintain with a trimmer maybe once a month. And the longer my hair got it was just a breeze avoiding mistakes.
    So I super agree with the point but I think it’s the fades and all that causing that problem.

Kay Flock with his braids out) look for what feels like ever at this point. Anytime I say, go to the club now I'll be in line and there's 10-15 other mfs that look just like me with the same hair style. It gets exhausting.

    I've had high-top locs for five years now, and I prefer to maintain a certain length (about shoulder length). The main reason for growing out my sides now is that I think styles (barrel twist, two strands, etc.) look much better, and you are much more versatile with a low taper/full set of locs.
    Since I am not keen on fufu extensions and I don't care much about my length (trimming my locs anyways, because I reached my length goal), I will grow out my sides about three inches, rewist the new growth, trim my dreads and attach them to the sides to get a tapered set of locs (I could never not get a line-up). I have no clue if it'll work, but it should make the process much quicker.

    I didn’t have a high top, but I had tapers on the sides and back, I grew them for just about 4 years and cut them 4 years ago. They were down my back when I cut them.Even with that I wished I grew the full set so I know how you high toppers feel lol 😅. Just got my full set twisted 2 days ago. This will be my second lock 🔐 journey

    My high top loc’s are at the stage now where i can barely see my fades. Ive been thinking about just growing out the sides instead of getting fades, and having the loctician retwist the sides too once they’re long enough, but idk.

    Personally, I think it's a matter of preference. Because I never really liked the fade hair style and had to keep my hair at a medium fade while in the Marines, and once I left, I told myself I would never do that look again.

    Alright , so I have a hi top boosie fade to be exact and I’m just getting to the bottom of my back and aroun my belly button AFTER 10 years plus !And it’s really disappointing when you know people who started 4 years 5 years ago and they are pretty much same length or longer . So my pro is : when I cut my fade nice and have a retwist I look super super presentable. My biggest con is the length after so long . At ten years plus any loc’er will be at butt length to knees. ! So this vid is spot on.. I will say this about the full set compared to the fade loc top, for a lack of a better words it looks dirty (in a good way lol) compared to the fade ,the fade makes you look more sharper and youthful. But I’m not biased now that my hair is as long as it it I wish I had a full set I’ll be too the floor forsure 😂

Im just looking forward to the messy bun look but Idk if mines are not long enough or I don't have as many (mines are slightly thicker) as TP but they don't look how TP has his in the beginning of the video.

    Pro tip - cut your own hair and let the barber shape you up to prevent snipping ur locs.

    I'm 2 years and 4 months loc'd.. high top,my hair isn't the voluminous type as you mentioned,it is decent but not very voluminous like yours is or very thick too. I have 48 Locs,when down,it covers the side of my head completely so you don't see through but sometimes it feels scanty,I have been having the thought of combining two, I'll end up with 24 which sounds too too few and I fear it might not be as thick as I imagine,I am very fine with my Locs but the thought that it could get thicker is there too,the fear of it looking too few is also there... I don't know if you understand me clearly

    • @TPlocks
      @TPlocks  Рік тому +1

      I do! It’s sort of an tug of war between deciding to go for thicker locs (with combining) and lose volume or stay with the thinner locs and keep what you have. A tough dilemma for sure fam! I’d probably opt to grow more locs before combining! That’s just me though. Even that sounds awful 😅
