In the airport, a lady with a really bad wig murmured under her breath "thug" as she walked by me.

[@LilianOkibe]

People with bad hair and weird looking extensions/wigs/weaves are usually the first to have an opinion. It is ridiculous! 😂😂😂

[@inioluwaadesokan7870]

I understand you totally. Even when I got married and got pregnant, I got that "why is a child pregnant look" so much that someone actually walked up to me to ask me why I was disobedient and got pregnant as a child. I was dumbfounded that day. Even now with my child, they just see me as a clueless child with a child . Its so so annoying

[@LilianOkibe]

OMG! People are so annoying. 😭😭😭

[@MoniMeka]

Wow! 🙄

[@locs_bjuicy6397]

Your locs are beautiful. Never even think about changing yourself to plz anyone. Thx for sharing. Often ppl think you live a certain type of way cuz of locs. It’s sad I love mines. No regrets but the fact I wished I started sooner.🌱

[@LilianOkibe]

Thank you very much dear. 😊😊😘😘😍😍 Yes, people assume all sorts of things because of locs. We love it here! 🙌🙌🙌

[@Iamcarolgraham]

Beautiful officially 6 month loc congratulations Lillian

[@LilianOkibe]

Yay! Thank you so much dear. Congratulations to you too. 🤗🤗😍😍😍

Hi Lilian, I know exactly how you feel. Peoples reaction bothers me sometimes, too. I look a lot younger (~15 years) and get treated as such. It gets in the way of work and advancing and in day to day life. I intentionally grew out my grey hair recently to get people to realize. Nothing changed though. They still see a young face. They probably think I am just being trendy - young people dying their hair grey. I love, love, love your locs! I had sisterlocks for 15 years and after a 5 year break started over with small semi-semi free form (yes, twice for the semi).

[@LilianOkibe]

Wow! I can imagine. My mum keeps telling me to gain some weight so that I'll look older.😂😂 I appreciate you sharing your experience.🤗🤗🤗 I understand the emphasis on semi.😂😂 Thank you so much dear. 😊😊😘😘😍😍

[@angielu3273]

Still Unique and individuall. I follow a routine similar to yours and my hair is thriving. Especially with your shea butter.

[@LilianOkibe]

Yay!💃💃 I am so glad that your locs are flourishing and you're loving my shea butter. Thank you so much dear. 🤗🤗😍😍😍😍

[@beebi072011]

I know exactly what you mean about being treated rudely because you’re mistaken for a younger lady than your age. That’s exactly how I’ve always be treated, even standing next to my over twenty years old daughter. Just be yourself. Thank you for always being you and for sharing your loc journey💗

[@LilianOkibe]

OMG! I'm so glad that you understand what I'm talking about. Thank you so much for your kind words. 🤗🤗😍😍😍😍

[@khanya6919]

I am so grateful I came across your channel. I had starter locs with twist, very thin because I have thin hair strands. I was at the brink of taking them down and just going back to braids and the like because I couldn't go outside with my very, very thin twists. Now 5 days into my Lilian Okibe locs my hair is budding(I never thought it was possible in such a short period of time but it most definitely is budding). Almost gave up on locs, thank you so much❤

[@LilianOkibe]

OMG! This makes me so happy. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you so much dear. 🤗🤗😘😘😍😍😍

[@lianamatengu1445]

Oh my goodness i so want to loc my hair now this 😭😫

[@LilianOkibe]

Yay! 💃💃💃 You'll love it. 🤗🤗😘😘

[@earthlycolorbrown6246]

Blessings! Do You have hard water in Your area? I am unable to wash as frequently due to exceptionally hard high minerals content in Texas water! When I do wash it's with distilled water!

[@LilianOkibe]

No dear, my water isn't hard. ❤️❤️❤️

[@lianamatengu1445]

What type of locs should one get for medium natural hair 😊

[@LilianOkibe]

It depends on so many factors. Please click the link below to learn how to decide what size of locs will be best for you. ❤️❤️❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmi4qpRmfMmgp7M

[@Doc_McStuffins]

What care or separating do you do after wetting your hair in the shower daily? Anything?

[@LilianOkibe]

I wet my hair every other day. I don't have a routine that I do when it comes to separating every time I wet but I'll "retwist" randomly with my method every now and then when I think my locs are merging excessively.❤️❤️❤️

[@Doc_McStuffins]

@@LilianOkibe thank you! Good to know the merging and marrying doesn't just happen like ::snap:: that as soon as water hits. I'm only a couple weeks in so I'll be trying things out. Tfs

[@LilianOkibe]

It feels like that lol. I know that I was afraid of wetting without separating when I first started doing this but I have realized that you have some time before you get to the point of no return. You just need to be gentle when you finally separate.❤️❤️

[@Doc_McStuffins]

@@LilianOkibe thank you, teacher ☺️ And yes, you do look young, but embrace it, girl. Appreciate your videos and how you support each and every one of your subs.

[@LilianOkibe]

Thank you so much, I will.😂😂 I appreciate your support.🤗🤗😘😘😍😍

[@oluwaseyiojo9262]

omg! so true

[@LilianOkibe]

You know this! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@lianamatengu1445]

And did you have your locs done in one day☺

[@LilianOkibe]

Yes, I did everything in one day. ❤️❤️❤️
