5 YEARS LOC'D | Loc Journey | Update | Visual Loc Journey w/Pictures and Videos

Hi! It’s Shae. In this video, I showcase my 5-year dreadlock transformation. I show pictures of my hair the day I started growing my dreadlocks and how my hair looks now.
**I have been loc’d for 5 years now and this is my 3rd loc journey. I have thick, semi-free form locs this time around. In my first two loc journeys, my locs were thinner. I had over 100. Now, I have 46 locs.

[@undrthedryr]

Love your journey, beautiful locs😍 I have 49 locs so it’s nice to see someone with a similar number have a lovely journey. Do you recommend dyeing with herbatint on locs and how often do you dye your locs?

[@ShaeLaird]

Yes. I love Herbatint. I try to dye at least once every 2 months.

[@undrthedryr]

@@ShaeLaird thank you for replying! going to give it a try, I’m looking for a more natural hair dye and the results on you look so good

[@dhaislah9067]

I just love watching your videos. My hair is about your length and I'm struggling with dryness all of a sudden. I hear you talk about oil. Do you spray water at this stage? Do you still use glycerin or is it only the black vanilla

[@ShaeLaird]

I don’t spray water. I use to use Rosewater Glycerin a lot but I stopped. I felt like it made my hair too oily, however, it may work for you. But yes, the only thing I may use on a daily basis is the Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla.

[@Kiyoh9]

Where did you get your black satin ribbon from that you're wearing in the video? I want to try it on my locs.❤

[@ShaeLaird]

Funny enough, it is from an old dress that I had. But, I am sure you can get one from any craft store like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby.

[@mabeaute8963]

This is why they say: ‘Gets better with age’… You’re a Fine wine now darling!

[@tiffiniwatts6996]

Do you still have 46 locs?

[@ShaeLaird]

I do. ☺️

[@MissesJones]

Your hair looked loced month 5

[@ShaeLaird]

It was. My hair is coarse, it locks quickly.

[@shawngwork7527]

Hey! Your locs are beautiful. ✨🫶🏽 I am 9 months in and having trouble maintaining my palm roll. Thinking about switching to interlocking… I have fine strands medium density. Do you interlock or palm roll for your retwist? What twisting product do u use?

[@ShaeLaird]

I don’t interlock or Palm roll. I just wash and braid. I am currently using water and apricot oil. If I need to add shine, I use Carol’s Daughter black vanilla.
