I watched you install and 4yrs passed fast and your LOCS are still gorgeous as day 1 🤗. You, Eleem, Keke J are the queens of DIY install OMG ..👏🏾👏🏾

[@NubianLockedPrincess]

Hello Tay La Dawn! Congratulations! You and Queen Eleem killed the DYI Micro loc community! I cut off my SL`s two years ago. I have been a Loosie for two years. I decided to get locs again! Girl! since COVID, the SL and micro loc prices have been ridiculous! I 'am in NY. Even though I could afford to get SLs or Microlocs, I refuse to spend over a $1200-$2000 for them. You and Queen Eleem have given this OG the inspiration to install my micro locs myself. My husband said he will help me with the parting! Its a GO this weekend! Your locs are BEAUTIFUL !!! I have LOC ENVY right now! Wishing you much success! 🤩💥❤

[@tinatate9007]

You can do it!

[@TayLaDawn]

Hey Y'all! 🤗 I am on week 3 with this style 💁🏾‍♀️ I could keep it in for a month, but I need to wash my hair this weekend lol

[@Mrs.Adrian]

Can you wash it in the loc knots? I would try to do that to save time for another hairstyle

[@TayLaDawn]

I actually thought about this 🤔

[@tiarrakash8787]

I remember watching your series of your locs from the beginning and OMG your hair is flourishing!!🥰

[@DanaLynnette]

You have the neatest locs! That’s especially impressive because you are a DIY girlie!

[@lovemyfamilyx4]

I started my locs because of you and Queen Eleem. But because of major OCD, I have started over 4xs. Note: Didn't know I had OCD until I started my loc journey 😢...Anyway I'mma try again following your guide because I really want them before I turn 50 this year. I really don't want to be going into my 50's messing with loose hair. I've had enough my fun with that.....And of course I want to tell you that you are my loc crush. Your locs are STELLAR ❤❤❤

[@Meera436]

I was just about to compliment your loctician because your locs on the perimeter are so full and neat. All the way across. I had little stumpy baby locs that refused to hold up even 6 yrs into my locs. Then I realized you are DIY wow great install.

[@sansharps396]

OMG are you engaged? 👋😀 congratulations. I’ve been following you since you started putting your locs in . I’m almost at my 3rd year . We have about the same locks I’m 378 . I love your hair

[@tinarjackson9844]

GET INTO THAT GRID GIRL!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mslivehaha]

I made my two year lociversary this month-you were definitely one of my inspirations to make the jump into my loc journey!

[@FannieMiller]

OMG, I love them sooooo much, you're so beautiful, after watching all your videos about a month ago, I cut my hair and Idid it.... wow flawless ❤

[@latonyaball3937]

Hi! I've watched your install videos countless times, and I'm still in awe of how professional your locs look. Yours is the BEST diy install i've come across, and i wanted to know how you managed to get ALL of your parting so crisp & straight?? How'd you manage that in the back? I want to do my own as well, and i obsess over clean parts as well. I would love some tips.

[@dovesunderwater5389]

Your hair is getting so long and it’s beautiful. You are doing such a great job with your hair.

[@chinadolldr8091]

Tay try VO5 shampoo. That’s what I use on my locs. It’s affordable and your locs will smell very good. Love your locs! ❤

[@lady_SL]

I have been waiting since your locaversary date for a 4-year update 😂😂. Your microlocs are gorgeous!!!! Cute style!

[@RobinCookie]

Love your locs they are so pretty! Thanks for sharing 💕

[@rosemaryhenderson7389]

Girl I love what you did❤

[@Missladi81]

I love your locs!! They are thriving sis you were one of my inspirations when I started my journey 2 years ago I was actually watching your videos while I did my install

[@cherubfoxx]

Hi Tay. You encouraged me to continue my loc journey after installing two strand twists. Glad to see you going strong. I reluctantly switched to palm rolling after year, but now want to revert to interlocking. We'll see what happens 😊

[@angiejones4882]

I have been following you from the beginning of your lock journey.. your locs are gorgeous!!

[@Neet0131]

Congrats on 4yrs🎉. Your Locs are beautiful. You inspired me. I was 3 yrs loc’d May 4th.

[@lisamcdonald7474]

Wow! You did it all by yourself! Amazing! Gorgeous hair!!!

[@sibongilesitole-dickson2853]

Totally fabulous. Very informative....helpful for starters

[@Gloria-xz7yk]

Your hair is beautiful! Im almost 3 years and never use oil. However, I use the sisterlock conditioner and rose water.. my hair and scalp never dry. ❤

[@roshondabrown2288]

Happy 4 year Loc anniversary!! I remember watching your videos when you started! Your hair has grown tremendously! I'm still amazed at you self-retying!! l got my locks installed 4 years ago as well, and to look back my pictures is like, "ok now!!" Have anyone asked you to instill locks on their hair since you've done yours or have you installed locks on anyone? Looking forward to more content!

[@sandyroberts3117]

Your locs are doing quite well. Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this video. Happy 4 year locaversary💐💐

[@prudencek7087]

Omg... The 2 locs on either side of my head; i call them my sideburn locs... They do the exact same thing, THEY DO NOT ACT RIGHT!!! 3½ years in and they both slip right out every wash day. I have to baby them and braid and band them in order for them to keep from totally slipping out. I've tried putting extension hair in them to keep them from coming out, but as soon as water touches my hair they slip out. I'll just have to keep braiding and banding those 2 loc areas until they behave.

[@rmx8514]

Happy Locaversary!! You inspired me to Loc 3 years ago and I've never looked back. The bob is on Fleek...lol, do they still say that😂😂❤❤❤

[@NellieDWrites892]

Your locs are so pretty!

[@yvonned.miller204]

Very cute style!!! Great job!!

[@guavalicious87]

Hey @TayLaDawn.. your locs are amazing 😍😍😍😍 you inspired me to do mine and I'm 3 years in!

[@maquittag16]

Giiiiiiiiirl, your hair has really grown -- beautiful 😍

[@yvetteoliver1055]

[@sheilaedwards491]

Your hair look great,you did an awesome job on it, and wear that style well. Keep the videos coming I so enjoy watching them.❤

[@Bindi_Marc]

15:45 Sis, is it build-up or lint? To me it looks like its only lint.

[@TayLaDawn]

Hey Girl! It very well could just be lint 🤦🏾‍♀

[@auriellemcneal3154]

You have done such a beautiful job with your locs!😍

[@alexisambitious]

They look got dayyum gorgeous doll! Beautiful sis!!!

[@tee4349]

Omg! Your locs are GORGEOUS!

[@4metimeout]

My ends were loose like that in the front as well, and I started lightly spraying the water on my ends and lightly squeezing the water in those locs, and it worked to loc my ends.

[@fatimahjames3782]

Happy loc-a-versery. Lovin the new style.

[@charitymwihaki6117]

So so beautiful....u inspired me to start mine 2 yrs ago.

[@eastcoasttransplant429]

Yaaaaas!!! Queen!! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾.

[@melcampbell8220]

Your locsl are absolutely beautiful!!

[@didiwilson5354]

I smiled all the way through this.❤🎉

[@bevy-1925]

I see you girl. 😂 your locs are beautiful.

[@Rodriguezonketo]

I watched your 1-7 day install 👏👏 My head it twice the size of yours I will be there for 1-22 days Your hair is beautiful. Does it feel heavy when you put them up?

[@lisalemle5531]

Your LOCS are Beautiful 😍

[@tinarjackson9844]

Oh my they are soooo long and beautiful 😻😻😻😻

[@n2xrcise]

Tay, your hair looks AMAZING!! You did a wonderful job installing your locs and an equally wonderful job maintaining them. I have areas that thin and/or break and I just grow it out enough to start a new loc so I have several little baby locs. It is what it is. I color my hair so I don't have any obvious buildup... do you ever do an apple cider rinse? That helps break up build up. So how is it to sleep on those knots??

[@TayLaDawn]

Hey! The knots don't bother me at all. I'm able to tuck them behind my head as I sleep on my side most of the time.

[@FannieMiller]

48:10 aw wowp, the style ❤❤❤❤

[@MsRaerae5]

Dawn , it’s alright. You’re doing great. After all you are maintaining over 350 Locs. That equivalent to carrying for over 350 children! 😂

[@pattysan99ps]

Beautiful!!!! ❤ I have the same trouble locs

[@blackpearl9747]

😜 I have a troubled loc in the back also and two in the front they just don't want to thrive

[@shulmaid]

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@bonijaykay]

Congratulations! If you don’t mind could you share how many locs you have ?

[@TayLaDawn]

I shared it in the video Hun, but I have 372.

[@sheilastiles1472]

Love this .. my birthday is May 8

[@powerinbeing4912]

Lovely!

[@wellwithmetorrey]

Hey, how are you?Do experience white dots in your locs and and what method you used to get rid of them?

[@rockyjay2674]

So beautiful ❤🎉

[@kayowsley1779]

I didn’t get a response from the email I sent, but I wanted to know if you start locs for others?

[@jalmazebingue1763]

Very nice
