[@essijj]

Thank you so much !😘

[@queenyogi1358]

Your hair is amazing..I've followed you since the beginning. Entering the youtube world, is entering the beautiful & evil Internet world. Some people literally spend their lives saying negative things to people. We can't change that. Even the best you tubers have to "deal" with negativity...you just have to figure out if you can block them out, and only pay attention to the love and appreciation you have from your subscribers & other loc lovers that do enjoy your videos! I hope you continue. Your Locs look beautiful and thick! definitely getting longer! Be blessed Queen

[@MaintainHealthyHair]

Awwwww; sad to see u go, but do what u gotta do. I lived vicariously through you since we both loc'd in January so it was nice seeing another person's journey; especially since you an I are so close in length. Good luck on graduate school; will say a prayer for you.

[@essijj]

Thank you so much, I appreciate ur kind words! Thank you!

[@CoccaButter12]

They growing and getting thicker! Beautiful. 😘

[@essijj]

Thank you 😘

[@RobinNatural1]

I enjoy your videos! Block the nasties!!! There are too many of us that look forward to an appreciate you sharing your journey! Blessings.

[@MerylsWay]

I personally feel that when people start throwing shade for no reason is only because they see the potential in you rising. I luv how your hair has filled out with thickness. I remember when you started and the frustration u had with them, I'm happy you kept with it.. Can't wait to see how your progression continues...

[@essijj]

Thank you! Still some frustrations but they are growing on me! Still wish they were thicker

[@MerylsWay]

+essijj I kno Hun but you'd have to think about just how thick or thin your loose natural hair was before you loc'd and then you'd know if you'll achieve that thickness you desire. I know the thickest parts of my hair is in the center and the front but the perimeter has always been light and thin so my locs grow the same.

[@DaRealTarranceR]

congrats on 7 months queen stay bless & loc'd one love....

[@essijj]

Thank you! And same to you

[@Brianne.isaac_]

I hope you keep making videos I love your hair and your personality! I've been locked for about 3 years and it's cool watching your hair mature! Don't let the haters win!

[@essijj]

Thank you! Considering I'm a boring person lol I'm going to try and keep it up

[@josijo76]

Girl those are the haters. Screw what they say...i love watching videos...n urs are great! I like watching ur videos u seem genuine n ur voice is nice. Keep up the good work!

[@lynndixon5846]

Gurl your makeup is on point

[@essijj]

Lynn Dixon thank you !!! Still learning this whole makeup thing lol

[@bsimxne]

Ignore those people! I enjoy watching your videos and seeing your loc journey!

[@essijj]

I will and thank you much !

[@jaytorsell]

Omgggg pls keep doing the videos. I've been watching since you started. I'm starting mine in a month and you're so pretty. #BlackWomenRock!

[@cindy5391]

You seem like a nice person. Keep them coming.

[@MagicalGirlTori]

Your locs are beautiful, I'm only 2 weeks in but am loving the process so far. Hate/rude comments are one of the main reasons I haven't started making videos yet, I could just not look in the comment section but I still would want to reply to all my positive subscribers. It makes no sense to me why people will stay subscribed to you or watch your videos, when all they do is try to be petty or spread negativity.

[@essijj]

Thank u much ! And yesss I dnt get it either ...I'm literally just a random person who likes loc vids and wanted to share my journey too! Lol I'm like huh but at two weeks I was wrapped in the journey as well! It really does start at day one! Hang in there! And if u ever decided to share a video I will definitely be there watching :)

[@MsHendrix]

Your locs are too cute on you. You're an inspiration. Much favor to you.

[@lilchefomi]

I have been watching your journey since the beginning. They look like they are thickening up to me. Beautiful! People will be negative if you do, or if you don't. There are people who appreciate your journey (me! ❤) Stay true to you and take care of you!

[@ravensmathers8428]

hey hun I love your locs ....your locs are a image of what mines may look like!!!Your hair is very close to mines..texture and size!!! I started my journey July 14-2016!!! please continue your videos!!!

[@beautifulbrown2877]

Pulled my hair out too. Before and now that I have locs. I just have been trying to stop because I thought my hair would never grow. It just take will power. But your hair is beautiful. I am 5 months loc'd I hope mine look like yours. I hope you keep making videos. I would love to see haul videos from you and life style choices!!! I love your tattoos. I would love to see storytimes from you I would watch all of them.

[@bbell200512]

I love your video.... Keep doing it

[@essijj]

Thank you! I'm going to try and make it to a year

[@Mrs_Chiques]

I just got into your videos!!! Don't stop now! I know those peoples comments are cruel and probably have nothing else to do with their time. Keep the videos coming because they are good and helping Sister's like me!!! Keep 'em coming and let the haters hate!!!

[@mnotinglife7934]

I hope you don't stop making loc videos. You were one of the first few loc videos I saw on KZbin before I got my locs installed and started documenting my journey, too. If you keep giving updates, please just remember those of us who think you and your locs are fabulous and inspiring. People will hate no matter where you go, but just keep shining. I love how with every video, you seem to embrace the journey more and more. I also love the strength of textured hair and I'm honored to have that type of hair, as well. I love your comment about not feeling like you /have/ to slick down your edges. Congratulations on going grad school! Stay encouraged!

[@essijj]

Wow thank you so much ...see positivity really does wonders...I just know others may like watching videos like ours just as much as we do ..but thank you 👑

[@WinsomeWayne]

Don't go! I love your videos

[@essijj]

Thank uuu! I'm going to at least try to make it a year

[@mrprivette]

Don't listen to negativity.. I enjoy watching your videos because your hair texture is a lot similar to mine and I'm a couple months behind you in my journey.. So I'd like to keep seeing your updates. And as your hair grows, I'd like to see the different things you do to it and hopefully I'll get some ideas from you.. Don't let negativity discourage you, there is always somebody miserable out there thats a hater and only wants to bring others down. Clearly whoever it is must like you because they click on your videos. Just ignore/block them and keep doing you.. Peace

[@JordanKing334]

So glad you didn't stop making vids

[@AfrinaLilmissfreens]

Your locs are so cute! started mine a week ago!

[@ryananglin3855]

They are getting longer. try not to keep looking to see if they are growing. you will drive yourself crazy. good luck on your journey. although I don't make videos anymore, I will still be watching and stop pulling the frizzy ends lol

[@essijj]

Yeah I had saw ur video about the loc community changing and I will say it's been weird lol but thanks!

[@sramikebrown]

Could have sworn I watched this video already and commented, but I guess I didn't. But anyway, your hair is looking good. And don't let comments from people who don't know you bother you. I've gotten a few thumbs down and I just laughed at it. If you ain't got no haters you ain't poppin, lol. Keep making vids beautiful.
