[@Serenity.9]

I’ve always felt a spiritual pull into getting locs. I’ve started three times only lasting a month in the process because every time i try to start, I kept receiving discouragement from my ego, few family members and worrying about the feedback from the outside world instead of listening to my inside world😔(because deep down I REALLY want to loc my hair). Locs are more than just a hairstyle. You can really discover many aspects of self you were never aware of, when considering or in the process of forming your own locs. Awesome video btw, and your locs are beautiful too💜✨

[@NotReallyAya.]

me too, Idk why Family does that. When you ask an opinion , but really just looking for support. lol

[@infinitequeen8029]

Its the same thing with me too ive started 3x already and now on my 4th but no going back now

Imagine the freedom of loving your natural hair when its Struggle for us our entire lives

[@moonlight-swimming9316]

This...this message is the exact reason I took out my past starter locs. The fact that I stumbled across your message makes me think that it's my time to finally start and keep them in.

[@mpumesibiya8899]

I’ve had them before and I cut them when they were in a ponytail length. As soon as I cut them I knew I had made a huge mistake, It’s been 2 months now with the new ones. I couldn’t help it! I had to restart them again because that’s how much I love dreadlocks and I’m happy this is my second intent coz now I really know and confident that I love them and I’m willing to keep these ones. I’m happy that I got the courage to restart them.

[@queenkamie1743]

I was the same way and locs was the best thing for me. Now even if I dont do anything to my hair, I can still wear it down and feel really good about myself.

[@wideawakewilliams8971]

7 months into my lock journey, and I wanted to do this for 25 yrs. I finally did it. And I feel that the shackles are off: No more perms or weaves in order to be accepted white society . Going natural, I feel I’ve finally accepted my beauty from inside and out. My white boyfriend likes the weaves. So I told him, I’ll make an appointment, and he can get one 😂 I love me and my locks. To bad it took 50 yes. to finally free myself.

I love myself more than ever before and it is so beautiful to finally love and accept my hair and myself for just the way it is. This process has assisted in huge ways in my healing, especially regarding my view of self and others. My crown is growing faster than ever before and I don't even care (the way I used to be obsessed with length). I'm currently trying to find the sweet spot for my retwists because my hair texture is similar to yours. One week out and I have a fro lol. But I'm learning to love it.

I needed this 💗 I’ve been back and forth on getting locs for a while now. My spirit keeps pulling me back to it, so I think I’m going to take that leap

[@tonilasHai]

Go for it ! You will soon regret not starting sooner, I’m 7 months in so far.

[@Simply_Deanna_726]

I’m in the same boat. I’ve been thinking of starting for years.

[@minabee7729]

Yes honey so am i

[@schamb90]

Same but I’ve decided to go ahead and do it. Shooting for February 2021

[@MiVidaBellisima]

I feel the same way! But I do all my hair maintenance myself and the idea of getting an hairstyle I can’t do myself is intimidating

[@TMC-lj8ix]

Thank you so much for this video. I am/was on the fence about starting locks but you have truly encouraged me to go for it!!! I can relate to the confidence that locs may give, as I enjoyed that same empowerment when I decided to go natural 7 years ago! This is the next step on my journey of building my confidence and self-empowerment! I watched several videos prior to this one because I wanted to hear the cons and thought this video would do the same thing, and perhaps offer more cons that the others did not offer, but you spoke to that part of me that made me consider starting locs to begin with! Thank you again! God bless!

[@sasheencameron9121]

Hearing you talk about your locs makes me feel so grounded ❤️

[@bodybynature3460]

Thank You Queen. I'm in my late 50s, retired and one month in. I had so much damage, and they aren't locd yet. I can't believe the growth in one month. I'm going for it!🖤

[@mydiaryincolor]

We’re the same person! My mom had the same response, I changed my hair sooooo much. Braids, cutting it into short Mohawks, bangs, colors, etc. but deep down I knew I would get my locs when I was ready....I have started locs now and I’m loving it so far!!

[@Visionz2022]

This video is fire. I just started my loc journey two months ago. I have embraced the beauty that's naturally within. My hair is going through releasing perm from all those years but I love the different stages. Thanks for this. It has grounded to accept the process

[@LovelyVoice222]

Thank you so much for this! I get my starter locs done next weekend and you gave me all the confidence I needed to do it! The only thing I’m scared about is that I have fine hair and it breaks easily, but a lot of people have suggested different natural oils that will help with that. And you’re right, the loc community are extremely welcoming and I love that!

What a beautiful soul.... The energy around you is beautiful

[@giovannaj1981]

Omg my mom too told me I can’t have locs when I was in middle school. I begged her after I seen someone else with locs. I wish she would have told me yes and I could have beautiful long locs.!

[@LitMagicianGoddess]

It’s never too late boo 💕

[@giovannaj1981]

Litty Liveit for sure. I’m 4 months loc’d now. I found her videos looking for advice on starting locs. Glad I did. My locs and doing great

[@LitMagicianGoddess]

Giovanna J thats so awesome! Are your locs dyed as well? I’m actually planning to start my journey with it he next few days and have been doing a lot of research on how to keep them healthy

[@giovannaj1981]

Litty Liveit no I haven’t dyed my hair yet. I want the locs to mature first. But everything she said about wetting it and salt water had helped

[@zxyatiywariii8]

Ikr I wish I got mine sooner but I'm happy I have them now! If I had a child who wanted locs I'd say yes because they're amazing and save SO much time!

[@nnekachichester6000]

I am starting my journey today, so I am here looking at videos. I’m excited!

[@BrooklynsStory]

Protesting in your sleep!!! Yes! Looks beautiful. Thank you for this.

[@steelekam]

Ive been on the fence about starting my journey. Im definitely doing them TODAY😁🖤

[@tymakaeli1480]

I'm still on the fence, I need to make a decision like asap, all I wear is passion twist crochet braids. I want my hair to grow! Hope your journey is going well 🙏🏽

[@_cookingwithty]

Lol you sound like me with the “I change my hair too much” excuse. I decided to just go ahead this year because of the quarantine and because I realized I spent basically all of last year in mini twists.

[@SlimSassyClassy]

That’s me 😩 I literally do change my hair a lot and get tired of looking at the same style very quickly. I cut it every year though and I love wearing it in a pixie cut. I want to do sister locs though

[@ohellosunshine7]

GIRL SAME!!! I’ve been in mini twists 90% of 2021. I have finally caved, loc’d for two weeks now!

[@_cookingwithty]

@@ohellosunshine7 welcome to the club 🥳

[@allegralockett1567]

Super excited! I start my loc journey tomorrow.

[@ayannawalls2343]

This video was so powerful ! Thank you ♥️ starting my loc journey now.

[@SashieETV]

Your face is so gorgeous! I'd love to see a makeup routine. Number 6 = goals 🙌🏾

[@miracleedden2914]

Her whole vibe is what I want in my life😂 she's my goals fr tho🥺 I'm starting my loc journey soon and chile I'm so excited 😆

[@lp13718]

i really need to watch this video and loved every minute. i will be starting my loc journey soon into this new year and cannot wait because i need to work on self love and my hair is my crown. Plus, my family is Jamaican so just knowing that my hair will connect me even more with my cultural roots makes me happy. Thanks for making this video💕

[@myahkalee]

Yes yes! Loved all of this ❤️ I’m so happy I found your page when I was deciding to start my locs

[@ccintillate6718]

I love the way locs look, and I KNOW I'd look so bomb with them. But I love my curls too. I'm always tore betweens curls, locs, long hair and short hair. 😂😂😭😭

[@Designsbysimi]

Me too😁😁😁

[@donyaleleahf.7614]

Sameeee

[@Umojawellness_]

What if you did locs with curly ends 👀❤️
