Your mom's locs actually inspired me to start mine. I was told that my hair wouldn't loc because of how fine and soft my hair is, but I'm three months in, and my starter locs are coming along nicely.

I remember we started our loc journey at the same time and you had encouraged me to remove my loc extensions and start with my real hair. I did it, but i ended up taking my starter locs out and went back to my fro because i was not mentally ready 😭 and i wish i would have stayed the course with you because your hair has FLOURISHED sis! BUT nevertheless i have restarted 2 weeks ago w/ two strand twists. And ain't no going back! I am so excited and I am in it, and seeing how far you have come has chastised me. Love your channel sis!🙌🏾

[@AlexisHarris]

Hey beautiful queen!!!! Awww I’m so glad to hear you restarted. You’ve got this and I’m here with you every step of the way 💖🙏🏾 you’re gonna LOVE the outcome. Keep me posted please. Sending you all the positive vibes in the world. Thanks so much for being here!!!! 🥳

[@tashajohnson4226]

College professor wait what! You look like you’re in high school. You are absolutely stunning. You just glow. Beautiful skin, smile and personality. Thank you for allowing Gloria to answer my question.🌹. Your hair is stunning. I think I may have been too hard on myself. I’m just going with the flow of my hair and will give it a year to work out. I just decided to keep it in a style to keep it from unraveling. That has worked for me where I’m not retwisting weekly I can go two weeks. I don’t spray my roots with rose water just my locs so my roots don’t puff up and get really nappy. How I moisturize is with hair growth oils that I put to my roots and out down my locs. I don’t have build up so that’s no issue for me. My front hair line has grown in a lot using hair growth oils such as rosemary, sage and peppermint oils also Jamaican black castor oil. I keep my head covered when I sleep or lay on anything. I tie it down with a silk scarf to kill the frizz and I put a bonnet on top. I definitely keep it covered in the shower to prevent unraveling and frizziness. I used to wash and retwist every two weeks now I’m washing once a month and I may retwist once or twice a month. It really just depends on what my hair tells me. My hair has started the budding process which I find hard not to pull those little balls off 🙄. My hair is definitely growing. I went with smaller locs. My hair just locs quicker in the middle and ends rather than the roots. I do palm rolling from time to time and lock smithing which I just learned and both do work. I have learned to prevent breakage is to keep my locs moisturized and keep growth oils in my hair. I haven’t experienced any shrinkage just the unraveling at the roots. I’m going to hang in there and keep the protective styles going until it completely locs. Amazon has these special combs to scratch your head. It has like three or four long curved rake points that just scratches your scalp. It’s amazing. Thanks again gorgeous for caring so much for the loc community and always spreading sunshine. You are one gorgeous young lady Miss Professor. I’m proud of you. What is it that you teach??

[@AlexisHarris]

Hi, Ms. Tasha!!!!! Your comment was so full of energy, light, and love. It truly means the world to me to have people like you in this community. Thank you so much for laying out your routine and everything you’ve learned so far. I know it’s going to help so many people. The loc community has my heart because of amazing women like you 💖 you all are so inspiring!!!! Also, I am a professor of political science and I teach two courses. Love my job more than I ever thought I could! Been at it for 3 years 😍 sending you all the love in the world!!!

[@janebagley2147]

Very informative video. The rules I go by for my locs are quite simple. PATIENCE, water both for the outside and the inside, clean and separated locs, not to much retwisting and keeping your locs covered. Enjoying our loc journey and not making it to difficult with consistency will make our locs flourish. Until your next video.

[@AlexisHarris]

You’re so full of WISDOM!!! We’re blessed to have you in this KZbin community. Stay safe and well!!! I’ll see you again real soon 💖

Awesome, we’re almost close in timing. I just started my journey as well with two strand twist on 8/24/21. I’m super excited as well. So far I’m loving the process.

[@AlexisHarris]

[@TJY_RISE_UP]

Started a month ago good luck

[@EclecticallyU73]

My babies were born 1.14.21 from 2 strand twists. I have curly hair and my hair is traveling its own course but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. To that end, PLEASE enjoy each phase of your journey. It’s amazing to see how you grow along with the process. Those days you feel like you can’t do it, know that you CAN! We’re all in this together. So, don’t hesitate to reach out if you need some encouragement.

[@kimberlyjohnson4594]

Just started my two strand twist starter locs almost one month in…all I can say is IM TRUSTING THE PROCESS! Shrinkage is REAL and my locs are doing their own thing. I use coconut oil with purified water to hydrate, again I’m TRUSTING THE PROCESS ♥️

[@AlexisHarris]

It’s so great to hear that you’re trusting the process! That was my approach when I started a year and a half ago and I could not be happier with the results. It’s all about sticking with the journey no matter how you feel about the various stages. It’s well worth it and it’ll definitely the pay off!!!!

[@robinafrica3456]

I’m 11 months loc’d and I love my hair so much!!! Congratulations to all of you who have chosen to start your loc journey within the last couple of days to the last few months!! Be very patient with your hair, it can take up to 4yrs before you complete the beginning stages of your loc journey!! I have exactly 100 locs. If you plan to do your own loc maintenance a good shampoo to remove buildup is Lemon Fluff Shampoo by Gabel’s. The best way to moisturize your locs is using the Loc Method which is layering oils like Jojoba, avocado and sweet almond oil. I decided to wash my hair every two weeks. I like my locs clean and neat. I go to Sekai Natural Hair Gallery in Los Angeles for retwist!!❤️

[@AlexisHarris]

This is beautiful! Thank you for being here and sharing so much wisdom with our community. It means a lot. Sending you lots of love today!!! 💖💖🥳🥳

[@TUCK2SHARP]

I love that I started my hair short. Never gotta deal with shrinkage and I can cover it with a durag and a hat

[@alexisbreaux6068]

Your voice is so welcoming! Im so glad I found your channel. I started my 2 strand twist journey on 08/23/21

[@AlexisHarris]

Awww, thanks so much Alexis!!! I’m so happy you’re here. Welcome to the community and congratulations on your beautiful new journey 😍😍😍

[@janake7]

I am starting my loc journey again. My first set of 16 years but my inner spirit told me to cut them and start a new one. I knew it was the right decision because I did not feel regret when I did it. Now, I am ready. My hair wants to loc. I backcomb my first set of locs, but I prefer to start them with 2 strand twist. Your locs are gorgeous! Ginger spice!!! Thank you for this informative tutorial.

[@bsimmonsbeauty]

If you have breakage due to small locs, pay attention to the hair as it grows and combine the locs when necessary. You can use a rubber band/ interlocking method to combine

[@uniquelykmee9688]

Finally! Same length, same method, same texture GLORY!! It's been a year an im still having difficulty finding relevant content for my type of locs

[@AlexisHarris]

Awww yay!!!! Hey beautiful!!!! Welcome to the community 😍🥳 so happy to have you as part of the fam!!!!!

[@shest00pidthyk]

Just started my loc journey 2 days ago with two strand twist, been a loose natural for 7 years, and I’m super excited!!! My only issue is my hair bending when I sleep with my bonnet on😒

[@AlexisHarris]

I FEEL YOU!!! 😂 I hate when my hair does that. You can “fix” the bends with a little mist of water and rubbing the loc back straight 💖

[@AbsoluteNay]

I had the same issue, I ended up purchasing a longer bonnet (the ones that they have now for box braids and such). That helped a lot, no more bends.

[@ultraego7]

Your energy is EVERYTHING! your commentary and makes me feel more comfortable and confident in this beautiful process! I am 8 months in and my frizz and shrinkage is REAL especially with me working out more but nonetheless thank you for this reassurance ❤️

[@AlexisHarris]

Awww, it’s my absolute pleasure!!! Thanks for being part of this community and congratulations on your beautiful journey 😍😍😍🥳🥳🥳

[@LadyyNae_]

You have literally touched on every concern I’ve had about choosing this journey . I also have eczema and did not want to get them because I thought my scalp would be problematic and my hair wouldn’t grow because of the irritation and lawd ….

[@ereid964]

I'm loving my locs! I'm 1 year and 9 months in! Best decision my hair has ever made! I just did my retwist Thursday!

[@brendaesimpson2027]

I had some sores in my crown and I started greasing my scalp with triple antibiotic ointment and it totally healed my scalp and now my crown is growing. I found out that the infection in my scalp was bacterial and that ointment is for bacterial infections so I tried it and it healed my scalp. I am so excited about that. I am about 2.5 years locd now and my hair is growing fast and thickening up nicely. I am trusting the process and loving it.

[@AlexisHarris]

Beautiful!!! I’m so happy you were able to find relief with ointment. I was the same way because of my eczema. Medicated ointment was the only thing that could calm my scalp. So much relief 🥲 thanks for being here and sharing your story

[@blkvikng3593]

Your also correct with learning our different maintenance times. It's not been 4 weeks yes as suggested by the stylist,but I see for me and my daughter, that 4 week thang ain't gonna get it 🙃🤭,so when we both go back next week, I'm gonna let her know our maintenance will be every 3 weeks and see how that works out 🤗. Yes me and my daughter started our loc journey together also , with the 2strand twist 8/14/21

[@AlexisHarris]

Exactly!!!! 😂😍👏🏾🥳🎊 i love this!!! Adjust until you figure out what works best. That’s always been my strategy lol so happy for you both!!!

Your locs look amazing, a living crown that frames your face perfectly. I love my locs, the fall is everything . I feel so much more wholesome and unapologetically me. I have learnt how to nourish my locs. At first I was over the top with oils and water, but I've learnt better now.

[@tashajohnson4226]

You did a great job retwisting your hair. Are you just retwisting the roots at this stage? Since you told me about the loc tool that has been a life saver for my hair. It doesn’t unravel anymore since using the tool and my locs look like dreds now. I am understanding now that I will have to retwist the roots every two weeks. I’m trying to get them to last a month. Then I realize that moisturize and putting oils in my hair loosens the locs at the roots. I’m almost a year in my journey come June. I notice how beautiful your locs are. Yours don’t seem to have frizz. I am still battling the frizz almost a year in. For spiritual reasons I keep my hair covered in public so that’s a great plus for me. My hair is growing slowly but it’s growing so I’m happy with that. My edges have really grown in where I can make baby locs. Overall I am happy with my locs and I plan to stay loc’ed for life. College professor shocks me. You look like you’re 20. What do you teach? You are just so pretty and your smile is so contagious and beautiful. I find myself smiling when I look at your videos. Congrats on all your subscribers. You come across very genuine and friendly that’s why people love you. I look forward to anything you have to say. Are you loving your new home? Always good to see you and text talk with you. Stay blessed.🌹🌹

Great insights Queen. I must say you are beautiful and have great energy. I had my set of locs for 13 years until I started experiencing frequent breakage. My mistake during that journey was having too many people in my hair as far as Locticians. I cut mine in 2018 to experience freeforming and traditional locs. I recently cut my locs again in July to basically start over. I made the mistake I having the wrong person in my hair. I’m back at it because I love locs and plan to grow my hair out through the rest of my life. I’m new to your channel look forward to checking out your other videos.

[@AlexisHarris]

Well yeah that's a good way to think of it lol

[@sonte.theFoodie]

It's part of the process, it'll be frizzy before it starts to loc up and appear like older locs. I'm six months in, and am loving the frizz. But, if it bothers you try sleeping with a durag/bonnet or rolling the locs in between your hands

[@erikarobinson3842]

I shaved my hair bald over a year ago…just decided I didn’t want hair anymore. As it began growing back, I just met it be, but wore theban 100% of the time and never really cared for it and ended up continuing to shave it off. This last time as it began to grow back, I decided to loc it. I’m 2 months in and just trusting the process. I’m excited about the journey and I’m grateful to have found your channel!

I love your video. I am thinking of getting locks soon . Your video really is helped with learning about locs.

[@lisha458]

These were great tips, thx girl!!! Love your locs 😍

[@rachelwalker7006]

I just started my starter locs on 10-29-21 and I’m loving it. Honestly I had quite a bit of hair because I was loose natural for abt 6 years so I started at a pretty comfortable length and yea I’ve never felt more confident! I can’t wait till they get thicker and actually loc up. But I also have a question, can I just use regular water to mist my hair or should it absolutely be purified?

[@AlexisHarris]

Congratulations on your new journey! I’m so excited for you. The water does not have to be purified, but I’ve always heard people say tapwater dries out your hair even more. So you have to be careful! Sending you lots of love ❤️

[@bettyeames6812]

This may be too late to be useful. I stoped using tap water and use distilled water or rose water. Rose water every day left a dull look to my hair so I alternate between distilled water and rose water. My regimen allows me to skip applying oil every day but I do not skip applying oil 2 days in a row. I’m 4 days shy of being 2 months loc’d so I’m no expert. I have noticed what has worked for me. I subscribed to this channel my first week as a loc’d newbie and I have gained a lot of confidence here. Thanks Alexis.

The back of my head is kind of linty and I’m a bit sad about it. I’ve been maintaining themselves and they’re cute but the lint is a problem. My duvet be getting me

[@AlexisHarris]

Hello gorgeous!!! Thanks so much for the love ❤️ I definitely understand the lint problem because my little brother has the same thing. Have you tried a silk bonnet? Or silk pillow cases?

[@cindymcgee4500]

I really liked your video. Your hair is gorgeous and so are you. I am 4 weeks in and I feel like mine have strands outside the loc and my hair looks pretty frizzy. I’ve tried crocheting the hair in rolling back, but the hair comes back out. I started with coils perhaps I should have begun with 2 strand twists. Love your hair. Would you mind sharing your color? I am in education also. Special Ed. Love what I do. Your students must love your positive uplifting presence. Would love more info on your products and routine. Thank you so much!💖

[@loiscampbell7577]

I find that when my hair starts to grow out, I have a lot of shorter hair strands that come away from the root of the locs. I normally just crochet them back in place. What’s yours thought on that?

[@AlexisHarris]

That’s exactly what I’ve learned to do! Just be gentle and delicate with those pieces and they loc back into the strand beautifully 💖

[@lindacantonlc]

Amazing love your personality 🥰 keep it up Queen

Hello, new to your channel and thinking about locing my natural 4c hair. I’m so conflicted as it’s so permanent ! Thank you so much for the tips.! Your hair looks great.

[@AlexisHarris]

Hi lovely lady!!!! Welcome to the community. Thank you so much for being here. My mom had the same hesitation for years and she has no regrets. I was nervous about it being permanent too but they can always be combed out or cut off. So they’re not “too permanent” lol… Just keep doing your research until you feel comfortable. Keep me posted on what you decide to do! Sending you lots of love 💖💖💖
