Don't bother getting Locs if...

[@nattyann]

LOC LOVERS! Not everybody can hang with the Big Dawgs 💪🏾 If you have anything to add please share in the comments!

Another great one is Traveling is not an issue anymore. 🙌🏾 All I need is my hair bonnet or silk scarf and a small spray bottle for water with a few essential oil drops in it. Locs makes traveling so much easier and hassle-free. ❤

[@nattyann]

Yes exactly! We are always put together! 🤎

I see a lot of people putting extensions over their locs. Saying it is a protective style…um I don’t get it. I feel like a lot of people misunderstood the purpose / meaning behind locs

MADNESS 😵‍💫

Hey Natalie. Thanks for sharing! KZbin started sending me videos of loc family members taking out their locs. 😳😬 I guess I never thought people took out their locs. Especially when they say they missed their loose natural hair. I thought EVERYONE joined the loc community because they just want their natural hair "To Be". I learned something new. And it kinda made me sad for a minute. But I also understand now when everyone says "this is a loc journey" and like any other journey, they sometimes come to an end. I know there are dozens of reasons why one might take out their locs. I just hope and pray that nothing happens to me where I have to take down or cut off my locs. I'm planning on being a lifer. One year locd October 2022.😍😀👍🏻

That’s so interesting because when I started mine I never really thought about an ending but I always gave myself room for change. I saw people usually cutting their locs off around the 7 year mark ( and usually the hair is waist/butt length) If I ever decide to let go of my locs I will definitely cut my hair and start fresh instead of combing it out. I love your enthusiasm for the lifestyle!!! Not just a hairstyle, it’s a lifestyle 🤎

@@nattyann If I must let mine go, I too will cut them out and then start again if I am able.

Queen everything u just said is so absolutely TRUE!!!¡¡ I have this friend who is OBSESSED!!! With perfection and she has locs if she c her roots looking even alittle puffy she gets it retwisted/ interlock one time she don't like the puffy roots at all,I feel really sorry fr her because I definitely know sooner or later her locs r going 2 thin out because this is her second loc journey and the same thing dat she did with the first one she's doing with this one she haven't learnt drom her previous mistakes. The thing is I loveeeeeeeee!!!! Seeing my roots all nappy and disrespectful its the best time for me because nappy roots make our locs look so unique and beautiful, so hearing someone with locs say dat they don't like the nappy roots look is definately odd to me! And BTW beautiful video I'm crushing on your loc style and your earring I'm just loving the look🥰

[@nattyann]

I feel like a lot of us have been brainwashed to think that there is something wrong with highly textured hair. It’s giving Anti Black and I don’t like that! I’m glad you are loving your roots! Keep embracing what you have, life is easier that way. I hope your friend realizes that soon!

[@nattyann]

And Thank you! I’m laughing cause my husband was making fun of my earrings. I told him be quiet cause the Gworls gon love it! 🤣💞

[@jahloveicrave7997]

@@nattyann Exactly sis! Lets hope that she comes to her senses,she cut off her first set of locs because of thinning and she's doing the same exact thing dat causes the locs to thin out humm so sad but true! Hope she realizes her mistakes and fix it!

[@jahloveicrave7997]

@@nattyann yes queen I loveee it,it's unique and different and it pairs well with your locs and outfit🥰🥰

[@nattyann]

Have you tried to tell her to slow down on the maintenance? That can be a sensitive topic and you don't want her to get upset with you either!

[@teacher4life06]

I would add that if you are constantly manipulating your hair, locs may not be a choice. We all know the damage happens with over manipulating your hair. Change up the style, yes, but also give your hair chance to just do what it do.

[@nattyann]

DING! DING! DING!

[@ShadesofSage]

I agree with all of these👏🏿! So glad I finally made the decision after almost 10 years of contemplating it😀! I love the way my locs are turning out too 🤗🥰! These videos keep me motivated 👍🏿! Thanks for sharing ❤!

[@nattyann]

This means so much to me, thank you! Your hair is gorgeous and I bet it keeps you looking put together while you care for your children! 💕

[@nattyann]

Really!? Are they talking about why they’re cutting it off? I would love to know! Yes, please keep your beautiful hair 💞

You loookkkk beautiful. What kind of top is that and how did you hang your babies in front,,, I find it hard to wear things like that cos I don’t know how to put the bra . ❤❤❤

[@nattyann]

This one of those wrap dressed that you can wrap in different ways. You can do halter, one shoulder or any other way because the fabric is long and stretchy. I don’t think you need a bra even if your boobs are big because you can wrap it a few times and give it support.

[@nattyann]

… and thank you 💜💜💜
