    Hey, Som! I really like that you're showing the "real" side of transitioning to locs. Because like you said, we often only see the bright side of black women loving their locs or wigs etc, not the journey or stages in between! What you said about putting on a persona when wearing "socially acceptable" hairstyles as a black women was so true and powerful. I think a lot of us feel pressured to confirm and then feel baffled when we're confronted with our hair in its natural state. You're still in the beginning stages of your journey so I think what you're feeling is very normal, but I'm so excited to follow you through this process. Great video, so happy that you started your channel!!! 💖💖💖💖💖

    I have sisterlocks and I feel beautiful!!! Maybe you need counseling. A lot of black women don't feel beautiful because society has made us feel this way. Thank God my parents instilled in me that I am beautiful!!! You are beautiful my sister no matter what your hair looks like. I still wear wigs sometimes. Social acceptable to who??? Please!!! You are beautiful..OWN IT!!!! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL MY SISTER!!!

    This video makes me feel so seen and understood. Everything you said, the fear of being seen as undesirable or unacceptable because of your natural features is such a real feeling for so many Black women and you’re so brave for being able to express these emotions when so many would choose to deny then and act like they don’t exist. Very few people have to go through life ignoring the millions of messages saying “you’re not good enough” the way that Black women do.

    I'm sitting here jealous of your Locs and it's so crazy how we all deal with our own feelings and challenges. Maybe a thought if you ever get that feeling and it feels so bad, try geling down your edges. I'm loose natural and I miss being able to wear wigs and waves, but I'm over looking like my hair don't grow out of my head. But everyone once in a while I slick up my edges and it makes me feel like even more of a baddie. I'll be transitioning to locks hopefully in the next month and your hair is goals! Good luck and stay strong!

    Queen! Watch this video and look at your hair. Stunning! There are wigs that look like this! And we have been programed to think what we were born with wasn't good enough and we had to give our money to other races to have acceptable hair.
    I don't miss my braid, weaves, wigs etc mainly bc I would get my moneys worth honey and everyone else is switching it up every few wks!
    Embrace the journey and look at the beauty of your hair.
    I struggled when I went natural in 2011. I felt like a nappy-headed chick w no direction and 1 hairstyle A BUN. but it got better and 10 years later I got sisterlocks! I should have done it years ago but all in God's time.
    This transition is a process of discovery- embrace it! Xoxo

    You are not the only one who feels this way. I have seen peoples reactions towards me when i wore weaves and wore natural hair. They see pictures of me with straight hair and say wow your hair WAS so pretty. I do have microlocks currently. Took me a while to appreciate them. I feel more free and less stress. I keep looking at my wigs and im just tired of wearing them and getting the question " is that all your hair?" People just cant say i look nice, they just gotta know the details. I don't get those questions anymore and im happy, but i also dont live in the states anymore either. Mentality seems different a bit outside of the american bubble. By the way, im proud of you and you and your hair are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story

      Well with sisterlocks diversity will DEF not be an issue. They are so tiny that it gives a loose natural look and you can wear braids over them and wigs to (not u parts though). Once mine get longer and are fully locked I will start to put them in more styles.

    During slavery, African American women were required to keep their hair tied up with scarves. In Hollywood movies with a white cast, if a black woman was in the movie, she had to have her hair tied up. As in Hattie McDaniel in “Gone with the Wind.” These black women were typically depicted as maids. Even the beautiful Dorothy Dandridge was told she would have to cover her hair with a scarf if she was in a movie with a white cast. Only in movies with a black cast would actresses like Dorothy Dandridge and Lena Horne be allowed to wear their own hair uncovered. That is because such movies were only shown in theatres in black neighborhoods and, thus, not designed for white viewers. Fast forward to more modern times. Wigs and weaves and fake hair just replaced the former use of scarves. The whole purpose of the false hair is to cover up or disguise natural black hair. So I would encourage the young woman in this video to think differently. The whole thing with wigs, weaves, etc. is not just about feeling pretty. It’s about the long “tradition” of requiring black women to cover their natural hair. No other race/ethnicity of women is required to constantly cover their hair out of shame or to compete or not compete with the ideal women of another race/ethnicity. I’m 61. It really saddens me to see this beautiful young woman in this video still craving something to cover her hair with in order to make herself feel pretty and comfortable around other people. The poison ☠️ is deep. A generational curse. Ladies, please take the antidote for this poison and stop wearing fake hair. I heard a white girl say that the fake hair on black women is not beautifying but disturbing because it is strange to look at someone’s hair that it so obviously not growing from their scalp. She’s right. But black women have become so used to seeing themselves with fake hair that the unnaturalness of hair not growing from their scalp doesn’t bother them. Indeed , the whole point is to completely disguise or cover the hair growing from the scalp. If the young people don’t stop this sickness, I’m afraid this poisoning from slavery will only continue into the future.

    This right here is deep and an issue that is running rampant amongst our beautiful black women. Let me say, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! But I understand me telling you that does nothing for until you believe it. As someone that has struggled with self confidence most of my life, I can relate and it saddens me. It also makes me realize that in my efforts to protect my daughters hair and make my life easier, I could be pushing the same agenda that I do so much preaching about. Anyway, I pray your journey ends with you loving all of you just the way the Lord designed you to be.

I have not straightened my hair or defined my curls since I have been natural and I did not realize that I benefited from "social pretty prilage" until people started to treat me diffrently. I don't miss the hair styles but I so sometimes miss being seen as pretty by rhe world, but not enought to go back lol. I am free from it all and I value my freedom.

    Your hair looks so nice 😍 - I like the Bob shape - I honestly think you look beautiful. The beginning of the Loc journey can bring a lot of doubt, but I think for most people as their locs mature the doubt fades. Most women with locs were previously loose naturals, so I think a lot of people would have moved away from the western beauty standard before getting locs, but I agree the western standard of beauty is something we have to get comfortable ignoring.

    I just had to tell myself, it’s no power in wearing someone else’s hair. I’m natural and have been for about 14 years and I’ve worn box braids for years and I’ve wanted locs for years but let fear and doubt and other people’s opinions stop me…..At this point in my life, I don’t care what they think lol…..I definitely agree that I will miss my braids though but I don’t miss what it represented for me….and that was covering up and wearing a mask of who I truly was……Love your hair and your content. 💜

My install was 11/24/21 and I have similar length, density, etc. I was a loose natural for 6 years and while I don't miss maintenance, I sometimes miss braids outs and wash and gos. Either way, you're soooo beautiful and I look forward to seeing your journey!

    It's just a matter of

    I have never liked wigs/ weaves,
    and have always thought that MANY
    wigs/ weaves look clownish👎🏽👎🏽
    Whether it's my opinion that
    wigs/weaves look clownish
    or
    Someone else's opinion that
    wigs/weaves look beautiful -
    It's ALL a matter of opinion
    &
    Can be CHANGED as the person in question sees fit🤷🏽‍♀️
    So with that said,
    I personally hope that you will one day see your locs as being more beautiful than wigs/weaves ❤️❤️

    Without Even Reading all the Comments, let me say “Comparison is the Thief of Joy” when intentional or unaware. You are Beautiful and unique. No one could be more unhappy with the microlocs than me. I’m only 5 weeks in and I just stopped covering them up. I have decided to love me like this, I even prayed about it. I embrace my uniqueness now and I speak life to my Locs and I tell them that I love them and that they’ll flourish and be beautiful like no other. Sounds crazy right 😝.

    First of all, you are beautiful all on your own and I greatly appreciate you for speaking on this. I totally understand you and I want you to know that I absolutely love your hair and I would be ecstatic if I could get my hair just like yours. I’m a natural yet I’ve been wanting locs yet a specific type and yours I want so badly. I would put it in cornrows, wear it curly, you can even do individuals if you want. I get what you’re talking about yet you are free to do your hair the way you want and how you want. We as black people are creators more hair styles than any other race of people. Do what you will with the hair on your head. Yet I agree with the fact that it may not be healthy for your self esteem to use fake hair as a crutch. You can be artistic and use creative expression with your hair though. So do you love. Peace, Love and Prosperity to you Goddess.

    • @queenofthej

      And you’re right! That’s probably one of the top reasons love being black. Our hair has the ability to transform itself! And if you want sisterlocks I would say get them! They actually look good on everyone of every race. As long as you have healthy hair they’re going to be popping!

    What's crazy is that black women are known for wearing wigs and weave. That shouldn't be. We should be known for having beautiful hair. That would be the case if we put the time and effort into learning how to work with our own hair. It's like we were never taught or something. What does that say about us? I think that my hair is supposed to be locked. Why? Because it is thriving without much effort at all and that's never happened before.

    What is it with wigs, even as a young man I never got it, I'm now 31. I never liked it or weaves I prefer natural hair on black women. Afro, short cut, diva cut, dreads and braids all all that. To me black women are more attractive with natural hair. I'm turned off by wigs unless for health reason you need a wig. Black women yall down need wigs idk how they tricked yall into thinking you need them but you don't. I know many black women with long natural hair and they still wear wigs cause they think it looks better.

    • @queenofthej
      @queenofthej  3 роки тому

      Honestly there’s so many reason for wigs. Like women who work in corporate America (like me) natural hair isn’t acceptable or looked well upon. Time to do your hair take a while and black men tend to say they like natural hair but most times is mixed race natural hair..not the 4c kinky hair. Those are just a few on a list of many things.
      But I feel like if more men like you encouraged black women the way you do it will help increase our confidence with our hair. Or at least take on thing off the plate of the negative outlook the world has on our hair. Stay positive brother and thank you for sharing your encouraging words.♥️♥️♥️
