Your skin though. My goodness. Stunning!!
Oh thank you! 😊
I’m in the budding phase and I wear my hair proudly. At first I was worried about being “ugly” but quickly said eff it. I have the same face take me or leave me.
Yelhsa Cee you summed my thoughts up lol at this phase I’m in just eff it I’m walking through this phase proud 💁🏾♀️
Meee tooooo
@Boho Trends Locs & Vlogs! I'm 4 months in 😁
Thanks for the video it really helps I’m at the budding stage it looks a hot mess but everyone on internet says to embrace it so I will I’m 72 years old been wanting to do this for years
Wow good for you!!! I just started at 50 yrs pld and I am soo glad I found the courage to start the journey. I am in the budding phase as well.
Yay great job on trying something new. Life makes you feel younger when you trying new things because you're looking forward to what may happen with your hair. Good for you
No "ugly stage" all phases of the loc journey is beautiful. I cant wait to follow you on this new journey !!! Btw your locs are fabulous!!!
I can understand why she uses the term "ugly phase" its the least acceptable phase in social and professional settings. Although N.Y. passed a law banning discrimination against natural hairstyles(specifically locs) they expect a more manicured look. There has been alot of controversy about locs in the past few years such as children being sent home and being told there hair isnt appropriate, the wrestler who had to have his locs cut off to participate in a match. Those people dont understand our hair but they are quick to criticize.Friz is seen as hair not properly maintained and thats why this is "the ugly phase".
No ugly stage. We are beautiful whatever we do with our Natural hair. I'm 62 And my loc hair is beautiful. We need to leave the old world terminology in the old world. Wear your Natural hair based on black beautiful people Not on other people's Opinions of our black hair.
Black And beautiful!
I can’t wait till I start budding so it can stop looking like twists and more like locs lol
Same lol 🤣
No you can wait
My hair is budding,acting a fool,being really disrespectful with me but i love it😂😂😂😂i cant wait to get over this stage eh
Got my locs 3 weeks ago and so far I’m getting through the stage fine. Self love is the best love
In the beginning of my journey I wore a hat for 3 days and said forget it. Either they're gonna hate it or love it!
Recipes Made Easy Exactly 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
i just wrap my head, it looks dope and it has a purpose
Going thru the phase right now😂but I'm like whatever🤷
2months & a 1/2 almost 3months
Same, because it feels normal to me and this is my first time getting locs
@Boho Trends Locs & Vlogs! Pretty Good I just realized They turned 5months old 🤣 I'm in need of a retwist now, I haven't had one in a couple months, trying to lay ofmy edges for awhile.
me too😂😂😂I'm embracing my pretty stage
Me too!
I'll wear headwraps but let some locks stick out. I think you can have lazy days where you don't feel like being bothered. On those days I wear a headwrap with no locs out but pushed back to where my parts can be seen and lay my edges. You can always feminize locs to avoid seeing them as having an ugly stage, i.e. loc jewelry, scarfs, etc.
Your skin is off the chain in this video btw!
What do u use on your edges?
I love my budding stage. I love every stage of my locs.
Going through the budding phase right now and I love it! I cant agree with the term "ugly phase" (too negative for me)... im enjoying my loc journey!
Great video! Love the reflection on the braids!! Needed that encouragement. It’s so easy to get them and not to think of your hair progression!
Omg I was panicking until you showed us what is actual budding. I thought I had messed up my first re-twists (I did it myself). But my hair looks like yours, I actually have some strands with two buds. I am calm now and I can get on with my life knowing that this is supposed to happen. Thank you 😊
Thank You For This Video It Basically Confirms The Same Thing That My Loctician Told Me About Embracing & Loving My Loc Journey, It Really Helped Me
I'm in the baby phase... so far it's still been manageable. This is really a true journey.
*Embrace Every Journey Your Loc Goes Through*
No no reason to feel ugly. Mine is unique. I never feel ugly. STOP, the self hate. it's on you Boo.. Your face, Your skin is beautiful.
Thank you so much for the information. I was getting very apprehensive about the budding stage. I will let them grow naturally as they are growing.
You are so beautiful... omg that chocolate skinnnnnnnn!!! Yasssss ♥️😍
You look beautiful! I am in ‘the ugly stage’ but I find myself embracing it. No doubt it can get on my nerves, lol but I’m embracing it.
I was concerned about my budding bc it didn’t look like the other pictures I have seen. But your hair looks EXACTLY like mine :) Thank you for the visibility
They look like they are progressing very well!
I'm so glad when I decided to go on my loc journey I had just retired so I didn't have to worry about trying to look cute at work. I'm 11 months in and I let my hair do what it do!
I did use a protective style on my second and third month. Today I retwisted my own hair. I'm loving my loc journey
I'm getting microlocks tomorrow... this video is what I need. Thank sis
You’re so pretty. Love your skin tone
Thank you for your interesting video i have scarring alopecia & i have almost learnt to live with it
Some years ago i thought of getting locks
Stay Blessed 🇬🇧💖
I started my loc journey 8.2.19 with two strand twists after being natural (no chemicals) for about 4 years (so I had length). I visit my stylist ev four weeks for a shampoo & detox or loc maintenance. I did not know what was happening and was getting frustrated with the fuzzy/frizziness two weeks or so after my appointment. The knots (buds) and fuzziness down the strands were beginning to irk me but I understand now that it is just part of the process - the “ugly” or budding phase. That gives me relief and I can now fully embrace it. I was contemplating cutting it all off and starting over. Thanks for your video and explanation...I even had the shears out trimming the “fly always and strays which I will definitely stop that now. 🤦🏽♀️ Lesson has been learned.
How's it going now? What have you learned? Are you happy? 🖤
Yeah I got instant locs on dry hair and it's starting to bud after a week. I still feel like it's the beginning of a "ugly" phase but I'm loving it so far.
I just got my hair twisted yesterday lol and I’m like guess I’m gonna go through it idc everyone used to me looking a certain kinda way so change is good
My biggest advice is to personally just start with longer hair.

Thank you so much!! I just got my locs and this is very helpful!!
You're welcome!
Budding is not ugly. It's fulfilling.
Wow! I had no idea there was an ugly phase with locs, I really don't mind the budding it's beautiful, I just started mine 3 days ago 😂😂😂
I like the budding stage. No more major worries❤
I started my locs in February this year.. I have shaved sides & back I get designs bout once a month!! I love it!! Less locs.. I have always wanted shaved sides w/ design every since I was a lil girl.. this will be my third set of locs!! Since I started my locs (this time) in the winter I just wore beanies all winter. I wrapped them in silk scarf underneath.. for me it was easier to keep from looking & touching them all the time.. I made sure to add water & oil them so they would not be dry.. they seem to locked faster & growing real fast!! This time I am learning to embrace the frizz & not retwisting as often ,that is how I lost my second set of locs ... I wanted to do a protective style but my hair just wants to be left alone
Yass you gave me hope...i also have a undercut and am afraid of the ugly stage
Thank you for that tutorial I needed to here that I'm 9 months in my journey and the budding is ugly I look in the mirror yesterday morning and told myself that I'm embarrassing my crown 👑 so again thank you 😊
Thanks for the great tips!
2 strand knot and twist with beeswax yes love my loc yes it takes patients and tome with your journey. 🦋🌞🌼🦋thanks again for sharing
I'm going through this stage now, at first I hated it but now it's like whatever. My hair is bomb and I love it
Wrap tutorial Pleeeeaaaseee. Love your soul. Keep making videos.
2 months in .. bussing like crazy .. learning to trust the process and love my hair ..
How's it going now? What have you learned? Are you happy? 🖤
@@Suzy-Pie it’s great .. u can check it out on my page
I'm one month in tomorrow and although I'm not fond of the early stage (not ugly), I'm down for the journey. I found your channel when I started my locs.
How's it going now? What have you learned? 🖤
I’m looking into getting loc extensions. Do you recommend the same products for loc extensions as you do for starter locs. Also do you recommend the same maintenance (when to wash, moisturizing, etc.) I find your videos so helpful thank you so much!
Great information. I wish mine would just start already ! 3 months in and nothing yet . I wear scrub caps at work and scarves all of the time so I can cover up.
Oh! And I absolutely love your top!
I'm in the baby phase I'm working on week 5 with no wash or no retwisting. I'm trying to rock this phase with no hat or head wraps! I am embracing my locs and I love the new growth.
I'm 5 months in and I am loving how my starter locs are looking 😍 ! I'm enjoying the transformation and I didn't bother with the ugly phase 🙅🏽♀️
Julicia MANIN how long did your budding stage last?
im at my budding stage after 1 month and a retwist and im proud of it because ii used to wanna comb my hair out because it was ugly... but ii learned to appreciate my hair because “Ugly Things Will Turn Out Beautiful” (idk if that’s how it goes) but ii love every stage of my hair as long my dreads are beautiful😊
How's it going now? What have you learned? Are you happy? 🖤
It’s no avoiding the ugly stage it’s something we all have to go through if we want locs. My locs are budding now too
Going threw mine now... not gonna lie before I started this journey i use to wear my hair a different way every week... I couldn't stand my hair looking old I wouldn't even get my money's worth in a hair style lol... now since I've been going threw this journey I've been more patient and accepting of my natural hair... im living this journey...I started mine 2 weeks ago and I'm going to try not to do my first retwist until April 🤗
Thanks for this. About to get locs. Would you suggest wearing wigs over baby locs for work?
I am in my budding phase right now and its driving me crazy! I have i think it's 3b/3c hair type. I try not to twist to much but it gets to where it looks like i have loose hair+locs. Ringlets of a few strands hanging out. My hair has always had a mind of its own but it just took office and my veto power isn't working.In other words i try wrapping the loose hair around the loc it escaped from and a month later im screaming stop seperating! Ive been debating locking my hair for 10 years and well my journey started in jan of this year.
My journey begins now
Amazing 😍
I'm shocked there's a stage like this, been watching many videos and no one mentioned this
I'm on my forth month and yes I've noticed some budding but didn't know why or what it was called. It doesn't bother me I just thought but was a big loc lol.
I'm in the loc ugly stage right now 😭😭😭 people are making comments like I don't want to do my hair but I know if I manipulate it too much it will hurt my progress on getting them fully loc'd 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m over it lmao this whole journey at this point my hair is UNRULY!! I just let it be
I have to agree with you on DXLYN. Her work is really amazing. Great information.
So at the mature stage, you do not experience the frizziness anymore?
This pandemic was the perfect time to loc up!
For me every stage was beautiful, l'm 12 years in, I'm a lock lover. Lol!!
I did the instant loc method
Still beautiful....
ive been in this phase for over 6 months now
I recently started my locs. October 19, 2019 to be exact!😊 It’s getting frizzy and I have loose hair at the bottom in the back. I do work in a office and everyone is looking at me crazy. I am concerned about how I look. So yes please do a video with head bands etc. I can’t where hats or scarves. I can’t wait until they blossom. I am gonna be one bomb loc chick! WE ALL ARE!
I can relate to you, I started mine 3 weeks ago. I work in cooperate America and I feel like a crazy person. I have decided to start wearing a wig but I wish I didn't have too. I want to wear my hair proudly but the looks and questions are getting on my nerves. I am researching creative ways I can wear it to work. I can't do hats so a hair band or some accessories that look professional.
I usually just wear cute headbands. It makes the front of the hair look “manicured” and I just lay down my baby hairs.
How's it going now? What have you learned? Are you happy? 🖤
I couldn't do it. I been....cut them. I am thinking about sister locs though. I get so sick of trying to style my hair. I regret cutting them. But hopefully everyone else has blossom now.
@@Jusfre Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that. How long did you keep them in and what was the main reason for you cutting them? Why didn't you have them combed out?
I thought I did something wrong! 😂 My son's hair is looking crazy. Only because i assumed it was my fault. Thought I twisted wrong on a retwist . 😬
If you dont take pride in the "budding" you dont need to grow locs at all. & definitely if you are calling it the ugly stage & honestly think it doesn't look appealing.
Exactly! Its all about re-conditioning our minds to know that our locs are beautiful. We've been taught for so long that our naturally kinky curly hair is "ugly" and unacceptable aka dreadful or dreadlocks.
I have wavy hair and my Dreds in bk of my head is unraveling 😔😔😔and I’m scared it’s not going to stay.... my hair is to soft back there I guess .... help!!
This is normal, especially if you have starter locs with loose curl pattern. They will eventually start to loc. Be sure to shampoo, it really helps with tangling the locs. I recommend conditioning as well for moisture. You can put a net cap over your locs when you wash to help with unraveling but still allows you to scub. Just give it some time! It will loc 😊
Thanks for this video because I am in the budding phase. I still wouldn't want instant locs because I want authentic locs naturally. Instant locs or extensions defeats the whole purpose of growing locs imo🤷🏾♀️
All hair is "beautiful"..
not "ugly"..but thanks & blessings
Please do not take the title of this video out of context. I call the budding phase the ugly phase because that's what its most known as. I make it very clear why its called that while informing those who may not know the scientific name "budding." My channel is an informative channel so be sure to watch the entire video before jumping to any conclusions. Embracing this part of the journey is what I'm all about and you would known that if you watched the entire video sis.
FYI- I DID watch the video in its entirety..& I was not criticizing about the content of your video so I apologize if I led you to believe that..your videos are always informative & inspiring..
may I make a suggestion that in the future maybe you can say "the so called ugly phase" because unlike me some people will make judgements about the title & not watch it at all...thanks & blessings
She said, aka(also known as) the "ugly stage"
Hello Somebody!!!
Im goin thru it to 4 months in
there’s really way to avoid it
Currently in this stage
I'm going through this now I look a hot mess🤦🏽♀️
I'm going though😣😣😣😥
I’m at the budding stage in it starting my third month with my locs, how long will the budding last?
3 to 6 months generally
Kizzi-ann Lemessy thanks 🙂
@@YesDaddyTDPop No problem it varies depending on hair type but that's the average time interval. I'm 4 months in 😁 and I'm experiencing budding too.
Kizzi-ann Lemessy I’m at the beginning of my 3 months with locs in I’m already budding. It feels normal to me then being called the ugly stage.
@@YesDaddyTDPop exactly!
if i start with coils will it still go through the budding phase
Yes. Any method that you start with will still have to go through all the phases.
NaturalBeauty0214 Thank you for responding ! 👌🏾
I don't have locs but my daughter does, she just had her 1 year loc anniversary (yay) in February. She sometimes wore wigs. Also head wraps might be an option. How do you feel about those options?
Also great options. I forgot to mention wigs, but I actually wore a wig in my 1st set. I was just getting out of the military and they didn't allow locs at the time. Head wraps is a definite go 2! Good suggestions!
i,thank the,ugly stage, are Beautiful
Question: what about wig for starter loc/ ugly phase
I wear wigs over my starter locs
😉❤
I'm going to be 😊 happy when mine start budding.
This is interesting. I actually like the look of locs. There is no ugly stage. In fact I have always wondered why do people who are ashamed of locs even get locs.
Well your ugly phase is cute. They’re going to be gorgeous
There are no ugly states. Accept what God gave you, and not the lies that you have been told about your hair.
Cute top! Good video!
Same🤧😭
Even with that ugly stage, you look beautiful mama! 😍
