😍😍😍Absolutely gorgeous!! No thin stage. Full and luxurious the whole time.

[@keshia1390]

Thank you!! 💕

[@n3wj3rs3y]

I’m going on 3 months now. One thing about locs is that no matter the style you choose to start with, you must have patience.

[@keshia1390]

So true!! Congrats on 3 months🥰

[@ehartmiller]

Your hair is officially my braidloc goals!! I'm installing right now and can't wait for the results. I started my daughter's braidlocs 4 years ago too. I got traditional twist locs then I would interloc the dreads two years ago and was like no. They were too big for me. I kept looking at my girls hair after combing the other locs out. Finally after three months of consideration I have given in. So August 15 is my official install date and I'm so happy. I am about to binge watch your videos now. I have subscribed girl you got me hooked. #sisterlove #blackgirlsrock

I started my braid lock journey Thursday pass. I’m so excited for mines to get like yours🤣 I been trying to find the perfect braid locs. Thanks for sharing‼️🥰. I did my daughters 3 months ago and she’s still in love with hers and she’s 7yrs old. ❤️My daughter is the main person that motivated me to do mines. Seeing her confidence shine lights up my world.💕 new subscriber

I have sisterlocs and my daughter is interested in starting a braid loc journey (she’s a swimmer, 4 days a week). You journey has been a great insight and inspiration.

[@keshia1390]

That's great to hear! Thank you for letting me know. Wishing her the best in her loc journey 🥰. Sisterlocks or braidlocs, she can't go wrong 😊

I'm staring my locs with braids so happy for my journey ❤❤❤❤your hair is FABULOUS ❤❤

[@Lolskay]

I appreciate you posting this. My daughter (3) has braidlocs and all I’ve ever seen online is that it’s a “bad” method the pattern will never go away. I gotta get better at just trusting myself. I love her hair. Her dad’s side (old school) hate that I did it but idc! She thinks her hair is beautiful and so do I. I ALMOST combed them out one day due to the pressure and my mom convinced me to leave them. Your hair is GORGEOUS and I appreciate the inspiration. Hair has no rules!

[@keshia1390]

Thank you for sharing this! I'm sure your daughter's hair is beautiful. It's definitely hard to trust yourself when trying something new and against the norm. I definitely questioned my decision in the beginning. But it was all worth it. Keep trusting the process and ignoring the people who don't understand. So happy to hear your daughter loves her hair. That's really all that matters 💕. Best wishes on her loc journey!

[@pattiejohnson4737]

So true if she like it that's all that matters you are the one that will be doing her hair for a long time to come

[@LiquidPinkLady]

Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful head full of hair. I'm happy for you. I could literally see your energy transforming with every stage of this process. Beautiful are you and your locs! Thank you for the inspiration. I do have a question. What do you all mean by braid locks? Are you saying instead of twisting the hair and waiting for it to entangle itself. You braided it? Or do you mean, you started with braids then twisted down the length? Anyone can answer. I don't mind, I only want to understand what's the difference and is it better to braid?

[@keshia1390]

Thank you so much for your beautiful comment Regina. It made my day! By braidlocs, I mean that I started my locs with small braids. It's just another way to start locs. I have a FAQ video about my hair if you would like to check it out 🖤

Also, I interlock my roots as they grow out. I wouldn't say starting with braids is better, it's just another method to start locs. Hope this helps!
