A Timeline of My Dreadlock Journey

Come back in time with me and look back through photos of my dreadlock journey! Two and half years with dreadlocks and I have never loved my hair more! They have evolved so much! I am not sure anyone changes their locs as much as I do! I do love to add and remove extensions, don't I? Do you like to change yours often?

I wanted to share something with you I am experimenting with -- to add volume I do the one dread -- then I go back and add in the top or middle portion another human hair dread -- depending on like the top to give it a layered look too -- so far it works pretty nice. either longer or shorter -- these are not dreaded all the way down the one dread -- it is a split

[@wandacraig8286]

First I want to say you have the most amazing smile! I watched this video twice to really take in what your journey was. I'm turning 65 in just a couple of months and I've felt a very strong call to get my hair locked. Unfortunately I have a health condition that I cannot hold my arms up for any amount of time, and we only have one person in our area who does them. I had gone in for a consult and was basically told I didn't have the hair for locks. But after watching several videos of yours and Liz Kidder's, I contacted the local guy and said I was determined and wanted to push forward and get mine started soon. After watching this video of your journey and hearing that you fight chronic pain, I was even more encouraged! Aty age I know I'm going to get even more reactions and primarily from my friends, but this is for a much deeper reason than just fashion. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have found your channel and how much I appreciate what you have to say. Btw, Liz is the reason I found your channel. I'll never get to meet either of you girls, but it is about community and sharing and every journey is unique. Thanks again!

[@Sheleathal]

Love it Liza. Thank you for sharing with us your journey and explain it. Sometimes we have no clue what is behind a picture, the story and what it involved. So many people want the “perfect” dreads right away because they see picture of mature locks and fall in love with those specific ones.... But it takes so many years to locks to mature and look that way! And it they grow so different on each one of us anyway! So glad that your concerns were mine too at the beginning! Now, 16 months later, I adore them... I wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world. They helped my grow my grey. Feel beautiful with my grey. I got asked not long ago: omg!! I so love the colors of your dreads!! Which hair colors you mixed to get that??.. And I was proud to answer: They are my very own! 🥰

[@LizaLocs]

Oh I love this so much!!! 💕💕💕

[@lilysantorno7800]

So encouraging, thank you. I’m going to start locs by myself in about a month, and I was really nervous about the transition being horrible and taking two years like some people say, but yours seemed to look amazing from the beginning! I love your videos and seeing your style because it’s very close to mine!

[@alicealtheaalbin3038]

My locs are 7 months and I’m falling in love with them....finally. Now I can’t imagine me without them now. Thank you for helping me love my hurr.

[@LizaLocs]

Yay!!! Girl I’m so happy for you!! 💕💕💕

[@sherrykunkle1776]

we have no one here that does dread locs so watched you and did my research - jumped in it -- and I started with woolies and make them but was ready for the commitment : )

[@kristencurry3715]

Liza, WoW!! Awesome journey video...looking back to the very beginning of your journey I see we have like exactly the same hair and I was skeptical to get my dreads but see now how beautiful they can be even with thin,fine hair. OMG I'm so excited now to start my journey. I was determined to get locs,always admired them and intrigued by them. When I would see a woman with dreads I would think "I want those"...well,I have an appt with a loctition I met at the renaissance festival who has beautiful locks..what luck to run into her..I commented her locs and she said she specializes in them and gave me her card. We set an appt October 9th which is where my journey will begin....so thankyou for this video showing me your gorgeous dreads,they are truly some of the most beautiful I've seen in watching numerous videos..You belong with those babies and I believe I will too. CAN'T WAIT!!🥰👾🧖‍♀️🦋🌻

[@LizaLocs]

Oh wonderful! I am so excited for you!!! Best wishes!!!

[@God_is_with_her]

Hi Liza, just wanted to say thanks for so many helpful videos. I just started my own journey with locs and am so excited. I absolutely love my hair & learning as much as possible right now.

[@gitalovestolove]

Gorgeous!! Thank you

[@sherrykunkle1776]

Length of my hair on top 5 inches - upper sides and upper back crown err 3 inches -- I have 32 dreads human hair dreaded into my own hair -- yup trial and err -- I ordered 2 different hooks - a two prone and a 3 prone -- I did the nesting method with the weft hair -- made the dread in my hair -- went back and did same method with length -- its been in for several weeks

[@LizaLocs]

Oh good for you!! Congrats!! Yes and it is hard on those 3 inch babies!! I’m impressed!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Volunteerballoons]

You're so pretty... you'd look great with a mop on your head! Love your videos - I'm mid-60's and hate my frizzy, gray hair so I've been checking out your channel. Not sure if I can do this - I'm afraid my husband (that I adore), would run away! :-)

[@morguealicious]

I love that you have extensions! I have super short dreads and I hate them. I can't wait for them to grow. I really am enjoying the journey with extensions and I know someday when my dreads are long enough I won't have to use extensions. Maybe someday I will miss them :)

[@thatamberchick]

I absolutely love this video. I wish now that I’m 7 months in, that I would have kept more of a video journal of my journey. I bet it’s so cool to look back at all the changes and ‘bumps’ along the way lol I have a ton of pictures though, luckily that I’ve timestamped on my way. It’s so cool seeing someone like you, that has come so far on their journey’s video. I really and truly appreciate your channel more than you’ll know. Your videos have kept me sane through this journey, in both the good times, and the times I wanted to literally pull my hair out HA HA! I credit you a whole lot with why I made it (mostly) through that extremely awkward time, and I also learned to love my frizzy, messy locs. That means the world to me. Thanks for making me realize that I don’t need to religiously crochet and maintain my hair. It’s made me start to LOVE this more than I ever thought I could have. You’re truly an inspiration to anyone who’s new to the loc game ❤️❤️

[@LizaLocs]

Oh what a beautiful note! Thank you so very very much! I am so happy that you are loving your journey and enjoying it!! Thank you so much for your sweet words and support--it really means so very much! ❤❤❤

[@millelor]

I love this video! You’re so calm and chill! Your journey is so cool and always different!

[@whodoyouvoodoo3024]

Agree. Everyone's journey is different. I always tend to do freeform cause that my way. Even if I sell seperated my locs I still prefer no matinence method. But to each their own. Guess I enjoy the freedom that comes with not having to "do" my hair everyday.

[@Michelle_Mack]

Beautiful!

[@whodoyouvoodoo3024]

I never documented my 1st dreads but this time around I have. I'm way to intimate to post videos online but I do enjoy watching others timelines.

[@achromium63]

Can you do one about putting accessories in your dreads? My name is Violet too!

[@ambrr_lily]

I had a consultation with a loctitian and she told me she could loc my hair OR install extensions, not both. I have to reinstall the extensions every 6 weeks, max. The start right at the scalp. As my hair grows she said it would be impossible to join my natural hair to an extension and let it grow out together. Like the joining place is impossible to hide. Any advice? It sounds like you did what I want, as well as others in the comments. There's really only one loctitian within 100 miles (Eastern OR), but maybe I need a new person?

[@kayleesamaroo1164]

Your hair is cool

[@ArissaTinkers]

I have around 8 inches of dreadlocks on my head right now. My Natural hair. I’m 7.5 months into having them. I started out with extensions but they weren’t real hair extensions and that bugged me. But now I’m considering doing extensions again. I would love some advice on what type I should do! I wanna keep my dark hair and maybe do an ombré to a lighter blond at the ends (maybe). Anyways. Let me know if you have any advice on what I should do! I would prefer permanent extensions.

[@bethh2143]

I started an album on Facebook documenting my journey. I think I'm probably annoying all my friends now lol

4:29 is this the only way to curl dreads?? Cuz you have to have a 2 strand twist in for a few days only to have like 1 day or 2 days of Curly locs and it just seems like there would be a better way

[@emma-leewinters2303]

OMG Liza, my dreads shrunk at 3 months! I have really curly hair though!

[@tanyacumberlin5024]

Kudos to you..... Could you tell me please, I'm about to put extensions in my hair which is about 16"long... Dreads are 24. I havev25 so far and I wondered if you could give me any advice also, can you dye synthetic dreads.. Stay safe and keep dreading. much love Tannie. Xx

I have human hair extensions in my hair! Did your extensions get bumps and loops and shrink and get thicker?? I am really wanting my looks to get a fuller look

[@spiderlilysalbsh1312]

I notice that the hair closest to you your head is unlocked,will you kick it at some point and if it's not too personal how much of your locks are yours ATM and length? 🙏Thanks

keep on

[@violetthemoonwitch5058]

My fiancé gave me dreads, i love them but i get worried that they wont look good because he didn’t section them right. Some are thicker than others and he just didn’t section them right. I get pissed about it sometimes but it is what it is. As they grow and mature im hoping they will look okay. Im 5 months in. Is it okay if the sectioning isn’t quite right?

[@robstevens2113]

Hi, Am half way through dreading but some turning out really skinny, do they thicken over time ?

[@KBTjames]

They’ll thicken up a bit but if they’re super skinny just combine them

[@aaatt85]

I watched one of your videos awhile back and you mentioned traveling to Wisconsin to have renowned dread stylist work on your locks. Do you still have her info? Is she still taking clients? Thanks!🙏🏻❤️

[@katelynb5507]

Morgin lives in WA state now. She’s doing my install next month! But she gets super busy. I’ve been waiting for two years.

Can I add on Facebook?

[@V2Guerrero]

Lmao, flat dreads are part of the process. They fix themselves, too bad you got extensions and didn’t go through the actual process
