When you are looking at loc videos because you are ready to start, and you come across your little cuz on YT! Hey cuz!

[@AlyssaShenaye]

Hey girl! ❤️ welcome to the loc fam 💪🏽🙏🏽

[@kourtneydenisee]

Same!

[@Ava-cm2uw]

This is dope... 🥰

[@AnalyzewithAstephen]

Haha

[@moonhoneymami]

Aww

[@bapbap2562]

"I struggled with my loose natural hair"... I identify with that statement so much. I loved my loose natural hair, but I just did not know what to do with it. I tried for 8 long years LOL and just couldn't find anything that worked for it. So I was always putting it in box braids because I loved the creative hair styles I could do with them. I felt like I'd get similar results if I loc'd it up, so here I am. 8 months deep lol. I've wanted them for years anyway. Not sure why I waited so damn long.

[@screamkay96f]

Same I did absolutely nothing with my loose natural hair and I’ve been natural since 2012. I have 3C hair and I would literally just wear a ponytail or two braids/flat twist. I just started my third loc journey yesterday with finger coils and I’m so excited to see my hair flourish. I took my locs out after 7 1/2 months because I decided interlocking wasn’t for me. I didn’t like the way it made my hair look/feel and I was creating holes in my locs ☹️

[@AlyssaShenaye]

Lol yes I struggled! And idk why I waited so long either but you definitely have to be ready when you start this journey

[@moonhoneymami]

Omg this is me I been natural for 8 years and 6 months and I'm ready to lock all I wanted to do was grow to BSL and I have tried EVERYTHING I think I need to force myself to retain length by locking

[@kingnation1270]

I will be 60 year old in April!! I’m starting my loc’s journey then, because I’m so done with trying to figure out what I want!! Now I’m definitely sure I want my loc’s

[@Cee_af]

Your hair grew so much in a short period of time! I love the way your locs are looking 🥰🥰

[@AlyssaShenaye]

Prettyy. Locdd thank you so much girl 💕

[@reverse_king99tps58]

The comb coils were long it didn’t grow much

[@AwwwSnap77]

I am soooo tempted to just loc my hair. I always said I'd do it once I got a bit older and didn't want to worry about twists and puffs anymore, but man... This might be the fifth video I've watched this weekend. I think they're calling me.

[@AlyssaShenaye]

You should definitely give them a try! 💞

[@AwwwSnap77]

@@AlyssaShenaye I think I will! ☺️

[@courtniedonaldson]

I was scrolling down my feed and your video popped up. I want to thank you for what you said about "if you want to Loc your hair just do". That was the motivation and sign I needed for me to loc my hair. Thank you again.

[@shereewhite4828]

You're locs are soooooo beautiful! I was undecided on two strand or comb coil. After watching your video I'm definitely going comb coil! Thanks for the many pics!👍

Really LOVE your enthusiasm and for recognizing that there is NO ugly stage! Our hair is beautiful no matter what. I was locked for 10 years, cut them off. I ready to begin a new journey and I’m looking for a good loctitian. Who did you go to and can you please provide their information?

Your hair is progressing sooooo beautifully

[@dijarosa7866]

I love the loose and curly ends

[@shyspeaks9238]

To you the starter locs were short but they're the length my hair is now and it took me over a year to get to this point. My day one locs were sooo short they made me insecure. But not as insecure as my baby afro that just shriveled up nonstop. A few months later I loved my hair and have been loving it ever since. I wish I hadn't waited so long, locking my hair was the best decision I ever made and had I done it a couple years back my hair would be flourishing so much more in length and thickness 🥰

[@EmilyAriana]

I always wanted to get locs but never had the courage to get them, your locs are beautiful 💕

I definitely think mine are gonna be thin in the beginning, probably thinner than yours were, but seeing this is giving me more confidence that it'll still look good and make me feel good about myself early on. I've been thru some CHANGES with hair, so I have high hopes this won't be as frustrating as some of my hair phases have been lol. I mean I did some wild ish it back in that day and made it thru somehow 😩😂.

That’s the downside to retwisting to early. The coils come down. It’s really best to wait at least 2 months to re-twist or more. Nice locs
