    I am 10 months into my journey and have less than 45 days away celebrating my 1st loc anniversary. Congratulations on your 3rd year! I have been following you for a minute and it was your inspiration that helped me decide to take this journey! I can't wait to color her, but I am trusting the process. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

  • @pinkest
    @pinkest 8 місяців тому +15

    Thank you for the honesty! Genetically, I grow (and keep) nearly 16 inches of hair each year, so I cut it off to about 2 inches every year or so. I’ve grown 2 sets of locs to a little shorter than yours, but unravel/cut once mature because I missed the frizz. 😂 I plan to start a new set before the year is over, but Lord knows they may be gone by year two.
    Also, your hair is beautiful!!

      This is essentially my plan lol. Like I LOVE LOVE LOVE my fro, but the way my roots be tangling?? Like how you tangling at the roots girl, but she is so pretty! I’m a wash and PTO day away from setting up my twists! I’m so excited!

  • @beingmichelleg
    @beingmichelleg 8 місяців тому +2

    I'm 16.5 months (16 as of Oct 1). I would have been further but I took out first set because they were a little too big (280). At 350 now and this last retwist was so easy - just a few stubborn ones that are slipping but the rest are finally acting right. I do not miss loose natural hair at all and am looking forward to the coming drop. Seeing you ahead of me gives me lots to look forward to while enjoying this current bob.
    Thank you again for documenting and sharing your journey as you've really helped me DIY my own and stick with it especially in the early days of constant marrying.
    PS I'm team don't pull when doing length checks this way when your hanging length looks like you just made the goal you then pull and show you're already past the mark!

I had similar hair type and hair length as you when you started out and so far my evolution is similar to yours so I'm very excited for how my hair will be once I hit the 3 year mark! And I have a copper dye ^^

    Congratulations!!! It's creeping down your back & you're still talking to us?! Lol I've been following for a couple of years, so thank you for being an inspiration! I have complicated my journey a lil bit...I started mine in March of last year but wasn't happy with the size in the back/crown area, so I combed all of those out over the summer, re-did them smaller, but kept the rest. Now it looks like I have a graduated bob with the front being almost a year & a half mature & hanging & the back kind of looking stacked. Technically I have 2 locaversaries now 😫 lol I'm loving my journey & only regret not starting years ago. Congrats again on your gorgeous journey💜🙌🏽🫶🏽🎉

I’m loving them even more now too. I’m experiencing the same Loc changes too. 🥰 My goal is to be under bra strap without having to stretch them at all.
    I share and enjoy your Loc journey with you Keke. Continue having fun with your Locs!

  • @chizubejiwuaku
    @chizubejiwuaku 8 місяців тому

    Congrats on 3 yrs! I’ll be 1 yr locd in December and I can’t wait! I have traditional locs and I absolutely love them but like you mentioned, as someone who works out, retwists only last so long and you don’t always wanna get a style just to prolong it. That would be the big reason I think microlocs and getting reties instead would be beneficial for me, but I’m just glad I’ve reached the point in my journey where I embrace the frizz and don’t mind the no retwist look

    To thicken my locs and give them the appearance of thickness I section hair out every 3 rows and while using a soft wave brush, brush them both downward and up wards then afterwards I mist my hair with a spray bottle running my fingers through it all for styling. I do this maybe once or twice a month❤

    Hi! Did you switch from 2 point to 4 point rotation. I saw in one of your videos you were talking about switching because of it looking a little for doing 2. In about to do my first retie so just trying to get a feel. I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!

    Hi Keke! Great progress! If you're bored could you try a well blended microlocs faux bangs situation? I dont want to cut my mature locs into bangs because I love to do ponytails and such, but I love bangs. Little idea for you :)

    Just use Color Oops instead of bleaching your locs, I had blue hair and got tired of it I used Color Oops to remove the blue and it went back to however it had been first bleached. It doesnt damage your hair(for there is no bleach or ammonia) and my curls looked great
