1 Year Loc Anniversary! With Photos and Videos ✨

[@seydoniab]

Finally a video of someone starting with really short hair, gives a better idea of what to expect with my journey and where I’ll be at my one year. My neck, back and sides are about the length you started and my crown and top are a little longer. I’ve never had locs before, but will be getting my starter locs in a couple of weeks, January 2024.

[@sonideDent]

You got it out the mud. Starting off that short takes a lot of patience. It was well worth it!!!

[@jeremiahblaze3531]

🐿🐿💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@realmaureenoyakhilome]

Having done both, I think longer hair requires more patience cos for the first year, you see no growth just shrinkage.

[@RobinNatural1]

Short, best way to start!

[@itiswhatitis1.0]

I combed mine out but you kept it a buck and showed the real process not just the glitz and glam like some of these other channels. I think I'm going to try to start my journey again.

[@louvanie6241]

Happy locniversary 😍😍 you literally looked gorgeous at every stage!

[@ohjuu1389]

Thank you love! ❤️

U welcome hun

[@LakeiaCreates-2010]

I finally ran across a video with someone starting locs with really short hair like mine. Even though this is my 3rd loc journey, I’m 1 month in and I’ve never started with my hair this short…so this is definitely a new experience. I can relate to the unraveling in the back, but they’re getting the hang of it now. Thanks so much for sharing 🫶🏽

[@dextercomeaux8120]

How short was your hair? I’m thinking about starting mine and my hair is 2 1/2 “ long.

[@LakeiaCreates-2010]

@@dextercomeaux8120 mine was actually about an inch long…looked like lil knots all over my head lol! So I’d definitely recommend that you go for it!!

[@camenelson5373]

Thank you so much for raw video and not hiding things from us. I needed to see your issues with dandruff because I’m on the journey of starting my loc journey and knowing that giving me a lot of hope. My hair like is about the same as yours when I’m starting or even shorter! ❤❤❤❤

[@chanelthemichelle5817]

I just keep watching this video because .. my locs are the same length from when you started yours. You’re giving me so much hope to let my hair just BE 😩 I’m so ready to comb them out. But I know there’s a process

[@NikitaRolle]

Thank you for such a real video on your loc journey and showing the times you wore wigs over. I’m Currently at the awkward faze but what’s more awkward about my own versus your hair and other videos I’ve been watching is that you and I have similar hair textures, our parting seems to be close to the seem size but, you and others still have more locs than me. On my big head it seems that there’s only a few twist locs so I definitely can’t wear out or would comfortable enough to do so. So I’ve been wearing twist loc extensions over mine till I’m comfortable and confident enough.

[@sherryrucker5726]

i was thinking about starting my loc journey before i chopped my hair off because i wasnt sure about the short cut but my hair was DAMAGED from bleaching and dying it over the years so i chopped it off and i’ve been rocking the short cut for a few months almost a year and now im growing my hair out and going to start my loc journey🌱

[@DeeWilliamsPhoto]

I’m starting from a shaved head too. Thank you for sharing your journey 💕

[@afrikaunite4330]

Doing to much with your loss, colouring, wigs, styling and touching it all the time especially in the starter lic stage not budding or loced yet. Locs need to be free and let them be and just grow. To many people starting locs for fashion and don't know how to treat it.

Im ppl cause idk what to do with these little things lol

[@latonyahayes5519]

It was nice seeing your doc's journey because, it gives some what to expect on my journey. Only difference my start locking after 1 1/2 month but, I have a problem with one's closer to my neck struggle to loc like other too. My cousin does waxing dye for her locs too because, she doesn't have to bleach first, and it less damage to her locs. Which is why I will be going that dye way when I start dyeing my locs.

Damn you gotta have so much patience with your loc journey 😭😭😭 I really want locs again but I’m nervous about my hair type

Happy Lociversary!!! Thanks for the uploaded video. I watched your previous one as well and both were really good. (Also really liked the Rihanna music ;p) I was mad for you that two locs went into your faux locs because once they start to connect those sistas don't like to separate. Oh and the septum piercing looks good as well.
