    After months of looking for loc videos I finally found a UA-camr I can relate to. I am 8 months in and was feeling so scrappy about how my hair looked. I was at the point of combing them out. Now I feel encouraged to be patient and wait for the results. Thank you for sharing your journey.

    Thank you for this video this is how my hair looked after one month on August 4. I washed for first time August 5. Could not get retwist because of an emergency my stylist had, but may wait longer like you for thicker locks And I have not seen anybody else hair on here like mine so thank you very much for putting your journey on here I have also started documenting my journey on here so I wish you the best and thank you again. I learned so much. Keep posting.

    This is great I started my locks with my hair fully natural no heat damage and I was getting tired or doing two strand twist and because of that my hair was locking already lol and my air was fairly long so I didn’t even have an “awkward phase” my only thing is that I wish I parted the hair better but I was also loosing hair at the top so I had to work with it lol my hair is long enough to make it work though so I’m really happy I didn’t even have to use gell just water rice soap and for oils I used jajoba oil, black caster oil, and regular hair grease I also used the silk wrap and my dread at much thinner because I did twist out method and I retwist them myself I’m thinking to finally I have had my dreads since Covid started.

    Thank you for this! I am only 2 weeks and 2 days in. I have only 38 locs and I am terrified that they will be too thick. But I have seen some gorgeous thick locs...some of which had less locs than I have. You have over 70 and yours are thick and absolutely beautiful. I often wonder if I trim an inch or 2, maybe once a year (if they become heavy and to maintain healthy hair) will they reseal nicely. Have you ever trimmed or thought of trimming? If you have, did they reseal nicely?

    • @thesimoneestelle
      @thesimoneestelle  2 роки тому +1

      glad the video was helpful! and WOW 38, that’s awesome! you’re going to have beautiful locs. as far as thick locs though the end result will heavily depend on how dense your hair is no matter the loc to part ratio. i haven’t trimmed my hair, but i do know of someone (with locs) who did. the only thing is they had slim locs (bigger than micro but a little smaller than average). i would imagine theirs sealed without visibly noticing it was trimmed bc of the size. i haven’t seen the process or result of that with thick locs as of yet.

    So was your new growth matting togther because you werent getting retwists frequently? Did you regret bcuz of your hair destiny and texture of not retwisting your starter locs every 4 weeks or so? And was it a choice you always planned on goin with or was it just a byproduct of what was happening to you not getting retwisted frequently.

      @@joynmo46 well the good news is that your locs are still new. it is extremely easy to get rid of undesired product or buildup while you're still in the beginning stages. by the end of your next wash it'll easily come out. i would absolutely under no circumstances recommend anyone use ampro style on locs for any reason 😂 hopefully your Loctician has another product you can opt for (preferably water soluble products) to use on your retwists
