[@randomknowbody1930]

If understanding the assignment was a person! This is a true visual loc journey. No talking just what we really want to see the progress. Thank you!!!

[@Daija27]

💯💯

[@tirisbarney171]

What A Wonderful Loc Journey! It was interesting to see the many stages that your hair actually went through! Often times we are fascinated with the look of the outcome & don't realize the process of how it got there! You are Absolutely GORGEOUS! ...and to think you did them yourself, WOW! I have wanted locs for a while now, this has really inspired me! Thanks for sharing 😍

[@dawndaniels-r3o]

❤❤i got my two strand locs last week and I’ve been nervous about it because hearing others say that’s not the way to start but your journey has shown me otherwise. Thank you your locs are beautiful

[@elleshankle8027]

Been following you since I started my journey, I’m 5 months in

[@majmami2008]

I have thinking for MONTHS if I wanted to loc my hair and u helped me come to my decision…I took everything u said into consideration and took that step today

[@ldr792]

This was so nice to watch! I just started my locs 6 weeks ago & I have a lil heat damage so it’s nice to see that my hair will be alright

[@TenYah144]

Beautiful. You're giving me hope. Note to self "Trust the process trust the process" lol and be patient. I'm 3 months in. Oh and the music was bomb. Nice mix with watching the video. ❤️

[@CoreeABaddie]

Thk U for sharing your journey and giving us visual too see the beginning and phases…Too many jus sho the pretty pictures and nothing else, reason why so many have difficulty during “ugly phase” as we call it 🤷🏾‍♀️ but it’s actual beautiful to see transformation up close and personal.. I my will never say “ugly stage” anymore 😊. Embrace all the stages you’re going thru and trust the process end results after a year you’ll ❤ it.. You embrace every avenue your hair transformed into 👏🏾👏🏾🥰

[@Daija27]

, what products do you use?

[@LondonParis]

Beautiful!!! Unfortunately I had to comb mine out after a year and a half due to me having a hair transplant. I miss mine so much, I’m thinking about installing them again next year.

[@thelittleunicorn6196]

You should!! I just started mine a few days ago and I already love it so much

[@_cierrajanaiofficial]

So nice to watch your loc journey. Thanks for the tutorials & for sharing!

[@earphbound720]

Thank you for the visuals! I only wish you had mentioned in each part what month you were in. I’m a newbie, just started with a 2 strand like 3 days ago and I would’ve loved to know at what stage you were at in correspondence to the amount of months you were.

[@trishsweat708]

Come through locs. Yessssssss!!!!! If you could have done one thing differently, what would it have been? And…. How many do you have in total?

[@SharmelLynnette]

Thank you! I have 68 locs, and one thing I would do differently is not spend so much time overanalyzing how and what I wanted my locs to look like lol.

[@liyahdaceo]

Beautiful I just started my journey on Wednesday the 24th of November. I’m excited 🤩

[@J_yarnies]

Beautiful locs. How often did you retwist them?

I usually retwist about every 6 weeks

[@darlenesmith5086]

I love you video and loc journey. I gave in and will be starting my loc journey on 6/16/22. You wear them well and i will begin my new adventure. Can u please let me know you the name of the music track that is playing. I absolutely love it. You make locs locs look so fun and easy to maintain.

[@drivendreams9205]

Hey! I’m 10 months in and was wondering when you retwist do you palm roll the entirety of the loc or are you at a point where you can just retwist the root only?

[@SharmelLynnette]

For the most part I can just retwist the root of my hair, but there are some locs that I have to palm roll entirely

[@kaylacoleman9876]

Gorgeous what a beautiful journey

[@missybabs]

Congrats on your loc anniversary 🎉🎉 How many locs do you have?

[@SharmelLynnette]

Thank you! I have 73 locs

[@jaylynn1943]

Love your Loc . I’m 8 months in . How often do you wash your loc?

[@SharmelLynnette]

I wash about every 2-3 weeks

[@Courtney5cents]

ohhh thank you for this!!

[@nikkiw.5506]

Hello I’m just starting my locs and my hair is like yours all the videos I’ve seen this is the only one I can relate to I’m so glad I found one thank you mines are thin I hope they thicken up love your locs

[@sheall7sweetbites]

Because myself i have a two strand twist but so many people giving me different stories on how my locs will turn out to be smh

[@LocdupBeauty]

Simply Beautiful! Congrats!

[@SharmelLynnette]

Thank you very much!

[@hannahjames7105]

Not saying how many months in the pic.

[@Zora_G]

Beautiful!

[@mrsopadotun]

What did you put in your hair when you started your locs to twist them?

[@robinburns1178]

Cuteee imma a year and two months loc’d

[@totallytamia8581]

Should've put dates 🥺🥺🥺 amazing either way

[@wendymo2910]

Do you put any product in on the first twist?when you began any product to keep the twist? Or nah

[@FireAirFire]

Ok it would’ve been nice if we could know the time frames on these like are these weekly, monthly, yearly, daily what? They look nice I always wear my hair this way me personally mine could look like the first one for 2 weeks and then like the I guess that was the 3 or 4th time you showed not sure since we don’t have any months listed on the video.

[@SharmelLynnette]

Check out my “Loc Journey Playlist” in the description box, I did monthly updates for the first year of my journey

[@FireAirFire]

Also I don’t think I seen you use any product to loc them I saw you use some oil but I’m sure that’s just for your scalp did you use anything or you just twisted them? I’ll probably never know since this is old but hey I hope I can get an answer nobody ever replies on yt.

[@SharmelLynnette]

Check out my “Loc Journey Playlist” in the description box, I did monthly updates for the first year of my journey

[@llamamelu]

what did you do about the ones that were unraveling ? i’m having a problem with my twists unraveling & having to redo the whole thing

[@SharmelLynnette]

You can use a crochet needle to help gather the hair on the twists that are unravelling. But honestly as time goes by and with regular retwists/maintenance, the twists will train themselves to stop unravelling.

[@KENZI.STUDIOS]

Heyy. When you started with the 2 strand twist did u interlock them ? And also when you washed yur hair did u have to retwist yur hair every time ?

[@Ghost666Mafia]

when ur re twisting ur roots how long do you leave those clips in??

[@SharmelLynnette]

you keep them in until your hair finishes drying

[@Ghost666Mafia]

@@SharmelLynnette thanks! i just started my journey 2 days ago

[@fatukay1153]

We have the same color and texture, and almost the same amount of locs omg

[@teezeeent.5675]

Hey I was wondering how often do you wash your hair? And after washing do you retwist it immediately or how do you know when to wash and when to retwist?

[@SharmelLynnette]

I wash every 2-3 weeks and retwist every 6 weeks. I actually posted some updated maintenance videos, I recommend checking out my recent uploads. Thanks for watching!

[@seritawilkins2889]

Yaaaaaas

[@diamondjordana8360]

👀 just like the texture of my hair … I need patience 6 weeks in

[@amaragooch4477]

This may be a dumb question. But does it matter which way you start twisting two strand starter loc?

[@SharmelLynnette]

Definitely not a dumb question. It doesn't matter which way you twist when you start, however you'll just have to make sure you continue to twist the same direction in the future when you retwist. If that makes sense. A lot of people usually twist to the right/clockwise, which is what I also do.

[@nogoodbecky813]

Love that red color on you!! What red is that 😍

[@SharmelLynnette]

Thank you! It was Adore - Crimson & Wild Cherry. I have a full video about it in my Loc playlist.

[@keirstenjames2666]

Were you twisting your hair yourself for the whole year?

[@SharmelLynnette]

Yes, I’ve only been to a loctician once

[@manenzo9511]

I'm glad I found your video I was going to pay someone today to start my journey and decided to do it myself so happy. Thank you.

[@manenzo9511]

What were you spraying your with? What were you using to twist and how often were you twisting? Hahaha I want the whole book

[@temitopejohnson5080]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ajeenahcarelock5329]

Did you experience dry/thin looking locs around your hairline? Idk if this is normal or not for starter (2 strand) loc’s

[@SharmelLynnette]

I didn’t really experience dry locs during my starter locs phase, but I did have a dry scalp. And you’re starter locs shouldn’t be thinning, however if you have a finer density of hair along your hairline, your locs will appear smaller in those areas opposed to the higher density areas. My hairline is a finer density, so I ended up combining a few locs along my hairline so they would look thicker. I hope that answers your questions.

[@ajeenahcarelock5329]

@@SharmelLynnette Yes that’s exactly what I mean, along my hairline my loc’s are smaller! Thank you for answering my question 💗

[@tatahart9936]

How soon after starting them did you do your first retwist?

[@SharmelLynnette]

Hi, I think I waited about 6 weeks

[@kandela75]

How many months did it take for the hair to start to loc ?

[@SharmelLynnette]

I noticed a noticeable difference around month 5, however it took about a full year for them to completely loc. And even after the 1 year mark, my hair was still changing & shrinking.
