4 MONTH LOC UPDATE | Buildup, Frizzing, Budding!? | TWO STRAND TWIST STARTER LOCS

[@willbanks2085]

While the frizz is frustrating, the frizz gives ur locs a nice aura affect imo, it’s one of those natural imperfections that I think looks good

[@ssantokukris]

I totally agree. I love the curly ends with the frizz it adds a beautiful effect✨☁️

[@kimberlyholley341]

Yess

[@oliviah.4741]

Agreed. I think her hair looks great

[@ecoker382]

I agree

[@lisabee1260]

Girl ! I am so glad that you made a statement about starter locks. I was in New Orleans and this girl behind me was making comments about how people should know when to take two strand twist out their hair when It gets to old….. I was like girl really? I let her know that These are not two strand twist ;these are starter locks ….I also told her to mind her business…. I also told her to stop being rude and if she had questions about my hair she should’ve asked me. why do black women always gotta be investigating other peoples scalp ? Thank you for educating those who don’t know how to mind their business or appreciate the journey . By the way your hair is gorgeous.✌🏾❤️

[@elizabethbirdallgreer2773]

Girl that ain't nothing! It is white girls that do it too, please. It's just messy folks. The girl/woman she had nerves to point her finger at the top of my head and say " what's that piece sticking out"? My locs were passed the baby loc stage where I had to decide to marry the little one to the bigger one. I didn't believe it! And, I met up with her again at the store, she asked, when you take your locs down are you going to cut them or pick them out. She has waist length hair. My hair was laying over my shoulders than, and I told her neither that I was having too much fun enjoying my journey. Wats up with that? And, why cutting my locs off were her concern. Haters! Like it's okay for her to have whatever hair she wanted on her head and sport it, so it's like we getting too much fame coming out with our natural strands,. Now, that my 3 yrs passed last month, I am rocking middle back length to my bra. Looking back, I enjoyed all stages. Loving it still. Learned through trial and error and lots of asking others.

[@DontMindMee89]

They don't stop at scalps. They pull out a magnifying glass for other's clothing choices, weight/body types .... nail color choice smh it's sad how invested in other peoples business people can get.

[@favouredWoman777]

I think it's a root of insecurity on their behalf. Bc if a person is confident in themselves & what they have going on with themselves/their own lives, they wouldn't have the time or energy to even be focused on the next. But yeah, I get exactly what you all are saying

[@meloniebrown8155]

😂😂 you sound like me

[@lynnmonet7282]

Facts! And then when you call somebody out, they be tryna act like they weren’t referring to you. “Girl what are you talking about? I was speaking in general” Yeahhh aight!! 🤣🤣💯

[@kindfamily999]

The frizz is bomb. Every stage is beautiful. Watching your hair have is own journey brings another type of appreciation about life.

[@Thaqueentnb]

Girl your hair is cute!! This would be exactly how I would want it

[@AshleyRichelle444]

Your locs look so beautiful & healthy! 🌱 I’m 6 months into my log journey & the frizz will get better! Trust me lol 💕

[@AnandaMonea]

🫶🏽💕

[@charicet3643]

Hi Ashley, I’m 6 months too! My hair still frizz, but I actually love it, lol. This journey is so fun! Do you have an Instagram? I’d like to see your Loc’s & follow your journey.

[@evacarattini1438]

Your locs look beautiful! I’m just starting its day 4 on seriously short hair. Yes that was bunching 😢but I’m sure your hair will work thur that patience is a virtue! Thanks for the advice, see u soon!

[@nicholegibbs5416]

Yea I was just saying my hair is frizzing up and now I feel better about this video and your comment

[@aprillewis6270]

Heavy on the “my journey”. Not everybody’s journey is gonna be the same. There may be similarities but definitely won’t be the same. I loved your video, you gave me confirmation that I’m headed for greatness!!!

[@teacheriantha1457]

Girl I just love this stage of your Locs! That frizz look is beautiful!

[@jamlsa]

just started my own starter locs w two strand twists & this vid made me really want to be patient and trust the process

[@NovasScope]

Same!

[@onyanasia7491]

Your locs look gorgeous! The journey is the best part. I️ love that you're doing it your own way and keeping the ends curly. 💜💕🌱I️ can only imagine what they will look like when they mature.

[@AnandaMonea]

Thankyou!💕

[@sellesam1999]

Girrrrl you look beautiful! Ive been in and out of deciding to start mine but this just made me want to even more!! and your son is getting so big! Thank you for this video it was very informative and for keeping it real about your experience so far💕

[@AnandaMonea]

Thankyou sm!💛

[@staceywaynick7236]

I like your video. I too am beginning my loc journey. It is true that everyone’s journey is different. I have fine soft hair, I too have frizz. I like how my hair is looking. My hair is getting longer right now instead of getting thicker. I do want my locs to get thicker.

[@anthonywatts5791]

Put so many of my questions and fears to ease as a mixed man something in me keeps saying my hair is to soft but seeing yours so beautiful with almost the same hair I’m convinced I got this thank you

[@takendriai]

Girl they look so good 😍 I’m 7 months in right now and it’s definitely been a journey

[@AnandaMonea]

👏🏽💕.Thankyou !

[@ronicasmith3643]

Yes hun I’m 7 months and 20 days what a journey we getting close to that year mark 💪🏾😊♥️

[@yulandajohnson4651]

Your starter locs look beautiful 😍 I am 14 months locd and I'm so glad I decided to take this journey.

[@sydneymccoy1908]

Wow I’ve been looking for someone whose locs resembled mine and it’s crazy, we have the same loc count and everything. Your locs are beautiful and I look forward to following your journey!

[@tru2love610]

I love your locs & can’t wait til mine are where yours are. I was afraid the two strand twist wouldn’t give me what I’m looking for & you give me hope

[@iamtracileee]

Your locs are gorg! I started with two strand twist too. I love to see it! Thanks for sharing Queen.

[@AnandaMonea]

Thank you! 😊💕

[@favouredWoman777]

At what stage did yours start to loc? I'm almost 2mths in with two strand twist stater locs. I know I'm still in the very early stages. But I was just tcurious in knowing& I know everyone's hair is difrt as well.

[@teewthebiz2159]

This is so informative and I'm 5 weeks in and my hair is the same. I am glad someone else wraps the frizz around. I watched one video and they cut the frizz off

[@tiffanyvasquez3174]

Your hair looks so nice at this stage!! Thanks for posting!!

[@EmeraldsHoneyComb]

I’m almost 1 month locd and I love it here … since having my starter locs they are already budding in some areas and people are like that’s too soon but I didn’t start with two strand twist I started with coils so it make a difference bc I don’t have to go through the twist taking their time to unravel within themselves and start budding… and if my coils come loose or loosen up I don’t retwist them or coil them back bc that’s helping my process too i feel I just wait until my mom does my hair again and she do it lol…i also retouched my roots with bleach and ppl were in a frenzy and that I still deep condition and do protein treatments but I do it because my hair isn’t locd fully I did that and washed my hair at two weeks so my mom just did my perimeter and left the rest alone … later down the line I would prolly dilute the treatments I put in my locs but ppl have to understand everyone loc journey and hair is different and I still have to treat my hair because it is bleached … like u can’t have a lot of oil or no oil I love it for my scalp and a lot of ppl don’t like aloe Vera juice in their locs and I love it in mine! And I’m not someone who can use just water to retwist like others lol but I love listening and watching other people journey I always learn something even though my mom a loctician…new subbie 💚

[@AnandaMonea]

Yesss❣️everyone’s loc journey is different, you just have to do what works for your own hair.

[@charicet3643]

That is definitely bunching! Your Loc’s are really nice! They look really good & are locing really well. New subbie here

[@earthgirl7874]

Your locs are beautiful and soft in appearance. You inspire locs in a feminine and elegant way. Thanks for sharing video

[@Keyamazing]

You are so beautiful!!! I’m 7 months in my journey and experiencing so many changes. Thank you so much for this video 😊

[@AnandaMonea]

Thankyou!💕

[@tiffaniparker3401]

Your starter locs looks so goodi can't wait to do mine

[@meganchristi1]

I’d love to have starter twist locs at 4 months and look like yours 💜

[@kaeroshon]

Freestyling on this jhene type beat while watching starters locs be retwisted I love the vibes

[@ronicasmith3643]

Love them I’m 7 months and 20 days in my journey and love it 🥰 🏆🤞🏾

[@PlusVK22]

You look pretty much loc'd already. Dang that's fast.

[@itsbrittbritt4183]

I restarted my locs on my 28th bday. I'm 4 months in too. Your hair is gorgeous btw

[@AnandaMonea]

👏🏽❣️Thankyou

[@onlyanj2703]

About to start my locs and I want to keep them loose at the ends as well. This was super helpful, the most helpful video I have found! Thank you!!

[@lahjaryelrobinson7169]

I just so happened to come across your video. I start my log journey on October 8 and I’m so nervous but excited. I followed you so I can get tips and tricks 🤞🏽😌

[@Luxurious.shayyy]

I want start I’m still nervous 😢

[@somrjrose]

How’s it going

[@hakishyamallory5034]

So good your doing your own research as we all should I just started my two strand twist loc process (2weeks)and I am a licensed cosmetologist I have 4C hair and it soaks up errthing lol I have a twisting butter for moisture because I do tend to get dry I used a net cap to wash my sons dreads he has started his journey now for 4 months I love your video your very transparent ❤

[@jelizabeth4646]

Your hair is beautiful! I'm starting my loc journey this week.

[@kayliewilliams535]

Your hair looks so good! I think I’m about to start my starter locs soon! Definitely going to follow your journey.

[@AnandaMonea]

💕💕

[@dessie4220]

Your hair is so pretty! I'm barley at 2 weeks now and I can't wait to see the evolution of my hair like I'm witnessing yours.

[@AnandaMonea]

Thankyou💕

[@BohoFlow]

I'm almost 4 months in. I'm trying to semi freeform bc I want my locs to get as thick as they possibly can. I swear the marrying and the bunching is the most annoying part, especially when it's wash day. My hair is a looser texture and I have an oily scalp as well, so I really have to scrub my scalp to get it clean. That causes my hair to marry like crazy and bunch like crazy because the strands slip up towards the roots. I also pull the ends back down (and I've even combed my ends on the super bunched ones) and recently I've noticed the loc'd portion got super thin. I've been in a dilemma, so I'll def try the ACV & lemon trick!

[@Ebony_daughterofjudah]

“If you’re this far in the video obviously you like something about me…” lol..yes sis I know subscribing now! I’m not loc’d yet but I’m following because I’m going to start mine with two strand twists as well. Your locs are gorgeous keep the videos coming!!!

[@AnandaMonea]

Omg!🥹 THANKYOU💛

[@AlsbeanNaturally]

Your hair is beautiful ♥️.... Just a suggestion with the loose hairs. I did the same thing you did when trying to tame my loose hairs and what ended up happening was ... my love looking like they were choking in spots weakening the love in spot because it was in a choke hold from wrapping my loose hairs. Try... Loc smithing. If you put it in the search engine on KZbin several videos will pop up about loc smithing. It works miracles for loose hairs. Hope that doesn't offend you. Again your locs are beautiful ♥️♥️

[@AnandaMonea]

I’ve heard of that, I’ll try it out. Not offended at all thankyou for the suggestion!❣️

[@elizabethbirdallgreer2773]

@@AnandaMonea , Just dropped in , since not having looked at any new baby loc journey in a while. May I ask if you started with freeform? It looks sooooos good and healthy. I am 3 years now since last month! I was over joyed when I started, however, I didn't know it was going to be so much maintenance. Lol, it's all good. Yup, I was tripping on the frizzy but all at the same time, I wanted the friz because it gave a natural texture look. People kept telling me that the friz were going to disappear and they did; but now my locs are smooth. I get very little frizz now. Enjoy your journey. I am still happy about mine.

[@ingridwiggins9575]

God bless u. Ur so very nice n I’m trying to understand what I’m getting into before I get mines interlock my first time. N I don’t judge no one ☝️ every body has there ways n wants what they use n how they want to take care of there locks ur baby is adorable 🥰 thanks for explaining on ur journey. 🙏🏽🤗

[@bigwill235]

So beautiful, the locs and you🤧💯

[@axhlibankx]

You hair is absolutely beautiful & you’ve inspired me to take the loc journey…

[@AnandaMonea]

Yay! Thank you!

[@AncientOne222]

Your locs look beautiful I love the frizz it’s giving the best of both worlds.

[@highclass1421]

I love the frizz. Your locs are beautiful

[@ajchick2]

I was having such bad dandruff but I started using a loc tonic and it helped sooo much. At first I thought it was bc of working out, which it was but the spray helped me a lot. I’m 6 months locd on the 11th

[@karashaw7606]

So I just got mine done yesterday and I’m dying I’m about to cry from this shrinkage lol

[@paulinebaylock5668]

Frizz is cool!!!

[@tiffanyvasquez3174]

I 12:51 I’ve been looking for a video this this. I started my locs 2 days ago. I did my own 2 strand twists and I did a freestyle on the boxes I did. I’m still new to the terminology, please forgive me. Although everyone’s loc journey varies, I now have a feeling on what my hair may look like now. Please keep posting your updates!

[@randybudbud8358]

Love the video, it's been ALOT of help 😅, thank you ❤

[@zuezue2121]

super excited to start my locs

[@orangepepper7098]

Your hair is so pretty. I’m getting locs next week

[@FitnesswithJeeka]

Hey guys Jesus loves you He wants you to come as you are He died for your sins past,present,and future. He was buried then rose again on the third day so you can be saved,so that you can have the free gift of Salvation.If you want God in your life just seek Him truly put your faith in Him and accept Him as your Lord and savior.It is by God’s grace you can be saved❤️‼️💝🙌🏾

[@agirland4boys]

Your hair is beautiful! I will be 5 months Loc on July 12th. I have missed over month of re twist. My loctician going to tell me about myself when I go next week.

[@wock7406]

you too badd with the locs😍😍

[@elefaantz]

I love your hair they look like butterfly locs lol so cute

[@ellziekay1966]

Beautiful!, I can’t wait to get mine done

[@chrisbell7914]

your hair is so cute! if i wasnt in the military i wouldnt care about the frizz :/ my two strands were getting frizzy, i would find myself always keeping the maintenance with the loc gel, then i just kinds gave up lol

[@MizHoneyB22]

They look great! I’m at 4 months and mine look like yours bunching included. Mine are just shorter. Some people with locs are very aggressive about “giving advice”

[@AnandaMonea]

Thankyou💕 and yes the “loc community” can be very aggressive for sure

[@Sunshinelady82]

This gives me so much hope. My hair is soft and fine but not thick.

[@lagenawashington4007]

Your locs are beautiful. I am 7 mos in and the frizz and shrinkage is beyond frustrating. My ends are curled also which frizzes the most for me so thank you for this video because I normally can’t find video with looks that look like mine.

[@SantannaDean]

You look good keep doing what your doing. 🌱

[@AnandaMonea]

💕💕

[@The25Sister]

Do what works for you :) that is all that matters.

[@Krochetkiir]

I love it I think mine are goin to b like this we have the same texture hair ppl b low key trying to talk me out of it but nope! I’m locing up !

[@drashmeirvincent51]

How many locs do you have? 😍😍 Also, how do you keep your edges laid. I never really cared about it when I was a loose natural but since I started with my two strand twists it just doesn’t look right to me.

[@getrealhood]

i got 2 strand prob 3 months in and im scared to pull at the frizz cuz when it gets palm rolled or retwisted..those little stray hairs is whats gonna help the twist pattern go away...i hope that makes sense. Your locs look amazing so far btw

[@AnandaMonea]

I get what you mean. A lot of people have told me to try Loc smithing to help with the frizz💕

[@cleasharuffins3095]

Very educational 😊❤

[@terriney3996]

I'm 3 months in at the moment, I started with coils but I plan on combing them out and starting with 2 strand twists instead because I feel that it would be better for my hair type than the coils are doing. Since my hair is so soft and not curly is some areas, I feel that it would get more secure and actually loc with twists rather than being in coils.

[@KristiannasGallery]

Love the look!!

[@kellyskinner9183]

It’s beautiful, I love it like that, I’m one week in.

hey love the way your locs curl at the end, i was wondering if that’s how your hair naturally went or if u did that urself? if so how? im debating on loc’in up but I’d like if they can curl at the end.

[@AnandaMonea]

Heyy💕My hair is naturally curly that way. I’m sure there are ways to make it curl but I’m not sure.

[@bettinagoodnight5933]

I spritz aloe vera juice on my scalp and starter locs which has provided relief from itching and dandruff.

[@Ebonyemaun]

Can use apple cider shampoo what my kids dad use for his flakes sooo much better now

[@sonneebah]

I have a question, have you ever done re-twist? Or you just wash and take care of it.

[@AnandaMonea]

I retwist every 3-4 weeks

[@SoapTJa]

I am 2 weeks in with the two strand twist. I already behave like I have locs🤭🤭. I’m just trying to keep it up for work though

[@livinginheavenlybliss9529]

iim restarting my journey and i was my 6 month stage fully loc'd , the only thing i used was water and leave in conditioner. I had to comb them out because i felt i looked better without them but im back gang

[@TaniyahLanay]

How many locs did you start out with ?

[@ygbodybuilder3023]

So after the two strand twist loc up will i be able to still get a retiwst? How wil that work? It wil be like a triple twist?

[@denisewilliams4409]

Heyyyyy!! Do you do anything special to your hair that gives it that curly look?

[@AnandaMonea]

Hey love✨, no if you have curly hair it will naturally have that look. I just spray water. The first couple of months with my starter locs I would sometimes twirl my fingers around the ends to define the curls a little more but that’s it.

[@m.i.l.o.h3199]

So beautiful 💕

[@Keozx]

Hello, I wanted to know if you started with regular two strand twists or you got the roots coiled and then then 2 stranded the rest of it, because I seen 2 types of 2 strand starter locs

[@AnandaMonea]

I just regular two strand twisted no coils

[@aubsion2670]

My last name is your toddlers name that made me subscribe instantly but you and your locs are beautiful nice video :D

[@diversediscoveries3107]

Will the ends stay curly? Mine are curly and I’m wondering when the locs mature will they still stay curly? Thanks

[@AnandaMonea]

They’ll only stay curly if you maintain it
