STARTER LOCS TIPS | DOS AND DONTS | EXTREME GROWTH ADVICE | LIFEWITHLOCC

[@nubianqueensassy2190]

I tell people all the time I rock my locs. I been locs for 10 months never covered them with a wig or any type of weave and they were short when I started but I have embraced every thing about them

[@LifeWithLocc]

It’s such a beautiful journey, honestly! ✨🤍

[@mssokajunkie5512]

I have locs and feel the same way about what ppl call my hair. Lots of ppl do not realize the word "dread" is negative and should not be used when referring to our beautiful hair.

[@LifeWithLocc]

Absolutely agree with this babe!! When someone calls it that, I kindly correct them. Period 😂

[@dripdee1913]

Dreads are not negative it's all in perspective I have locs I call them dreads I'm from the Caribbean it's part of the culture

[@marce4752]

@@dripdee1913 Yes very true! But remember that the white people called our locs "dreads" as an insult to describe our locs, they were calling them dreadful. So it may be offensive and disrespectful to most, but yes it does matter on how you view the word!

[@JAĦNAE]

​@@marce4752 and people of color used the word "dread" as a means of putting "dread" into the system through the embodiment of their hair, a feature that we're always being judged by. how white people speak about people of color, amongst one another, is quite literally none of our business. WE choose what words and meanings hold power over us.

[@cjadream7]

It isn't negative. It's positive-- and it means that the person wearing them is to be feared.

[@jazmineadair5885]

“Nah Sis, This all me!!!” Yasss Queen! I be offended sometimes by these loc care videos made by women that did not completely live this loc life. I’ve had my locs for 13 years, grown from scratch, and I feel blessed to have had this journey from start to finish. My locs are really like my good good home girl 😂

my baby girl is 8......the same as u, a whole passa everytime it was time to do her hair and because she saw me and her dad has locs and very basic maintenance so she decided thats what she wanted and she is currently 1 year in looking beautiful. you are so right when it comes to starting, you have to take into consideration loc to part ratio, hair density and all of that!! me and my babies locs are the roughly the same size and she has 87 and i have 54....its amazing watching different peoples journeys.

Awwww, I bet you all have beautiful locs!! She’s young now but when she grows up, she will see that you all made the right decision 😍 locs are LIFE ✨

[@kareoleena]

Thank you for creating this video. I really appreciate it because I have worn my hair natural since 1989. I went through all the fads and stages when it came to hair, but just under 5 years ago... I decided to loc my mane. And I started from scratch. For me I arrived at my loc journey by having a spiritual epiphany. So everything about my process needed to be pure and organic. I also find that what other people call my “locs” does not offend me or make me feel any type of way... mainly because I know that some people don’t know, while others purposely try to invoke a certain amount of discomfort without your spirit. I am not interested in trying to teach those who are not interested in learning, so I just let things like this wash right off of me. Because for me...It is absolutely the best decision I have ever made. Again thank you for providing the loc’d and loc’s curious community this information and sharing your experiences with us!

How much does it cost to get your locs started by someone ? , how often should you retwist your hair & how much does a retwist cost ? I’m looking into starting locs

[@LifeWithLocc]

Prices vary depending on the location and loctitian! I recommend checking out loctitians in your city to get the most accurate pricing. 💕

[@deanneallen9799]

I subbed just because your locs are that pretty. "Your locs are the first I've seen that I've ever loved...Great job in keeping them healthy. I will listen to you when it comes onto locs care because your locs are amazing.

[@Brownlaycurls]

Sis, I feel you on the dread thing. Every time I hear someone use that term, especially us, I cringe. It’s LOCS for me.

I'm glad I came across this video. I needed the encouragement

[@LifeWithLocc]

This made me smile! 🤗

[@kaywhybee1160]

I was told by my Loctician do not use water until you are close to being retwisted. Because the example she used it’s like getting your hair pressed and then spraying it with water. So she is basically saying the water will untwist your freshly twisted hair. Yes she highly recommends oil.

[@LifeWithLocc]

I agree that too much water can make your hair frizz but that’s why I use a mist water bottle versus one that streams out heavily! All of our hair needs water at every single stage, whether loose natural, locs, etc!

Do you have to sit under a dry ever time you do your locs done even when they are short for the beginning

I would say yes. The dryer helps set your roots so that they’re not unraveling after a retwist.

Yes! Read the directions on the bottle. Only a tiny amount -dime or nickel size maybe- will do. Dilute with water in a bottle.

Doesnt moisturizing starterlocs affect the locking process

[@LifeWithLocc]

Absolutely not! Even loose natural hair needs moisture. Don’t drench the locs, a nice mist will do the trick!

Should I be misting my starter locs with water ? I'm 1 week in

[@LifeWithLocc]

Absolutely!! Not too much though (I would suggest a mist bottle) but it definitely wouldn’t hurt to always add a lil moisture in between retwists!

Time and patience that's all
