Hey Family! Happy New Year :) How far along are you guys in your journey? What made you start your journey !❤️ Comment below. Love you Fam!

[@levonsmith4907]

Hey chick. HPY

[@jessewcurtis4616]

5 years in my journey. From a child, my hair was being permed, hot comb etc. After being enlightened that it was damaging to the hair, to the point, it won't Grow anymore . That it wasn't healthy, I decided to loc it. I wanted my God given hair back. One of the best decisions, I ever made. I appreciate your videos keep up the good work Queen and Queens👑. Blessings.

[@EdieLover90]

I started my locs because I was tired of wigs, braids, etc. I had never worn my natural hair out. I just really needed the freedom. I knew it would come with outside opinions but I knew it was something I had to do for myself. I’ll be two years in April best decision I’ve ever made.

[@vonzmommie08]

Same exact reason why I started. Only 4 months in but was so ready to embrace my natural hair and stop hiding behind my wigs

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Thanks for sharing that beautiful 🥰❤️ Happy early 2 years to you! Definitely the best decision for me too, I wish I started even sooner

[@sydlaw2941]

Same going on 15 months now

[@noirfit9721]

I’m 15 months locd. This is my longest loc journey. I’ve done this 8 times and each time I took them down out of insecurity. But today as my dad told me again how much he didn’t like my locs, I felt nothing but profound love for not only my hair but for me. No one can make me dislike myself anymore. Enough is enough and I am enough. I and my locs are beautiful. These locs of mine are gorgeous and I hope to have them with me until my passing day

[@NicoleAllwood]

Yes, yes, YES! I like that “enough is enough and I am enough”! Good for you! Glad you love yourself as well as your beautiful locs! Just started my ‘loc and love’ journey today and I’m excited to see the transformation this journey will reveal. This is also the during the journey of confidence and elevation the Lord is blessing me with, so this is perfect timing!

[@latanya7008]

This is my 3rd year in with my loc’s and I hate I didn’t start my journey sooner! I normally wash and retwist my loc’s when they say it’s time if that makes sense! I LOVE MY LOC’S and I have truly enjoyed my journey, frizz and all 😍 AIN’T NOTHING LIKE THE REAL THING BABY 😘....

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Yaaas 🙌🏾🙌🏾 congrats on your 3 years loc’d, love! It’s always a great feeling to embrace the process, it makes it much easier ❤️❤️

[@All_Things_Dionne]

9 months into my loc journey. I started mine because I love the look and believe that locs are more manageable than my lose natural hair. Beautiful crown, queen! I enjoyed this video.

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Happy 9 months!!! that’s exciting, almost at that 1 year mark 🥰 thank you beautiful ❤️

[@jamiedarnell6353]

I started my locs as a way to work on my commitment issues, I am now 1 yr 2mths loc'd, I feel accomplished and I've loved and embraced every second of it🥰🤞🏾

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Nice!! Congratulations on reaching your 1 year mark ☺️ I’m so glad that your journey is going well for you

[@MsKeeJay]

I started my locs in 2005 and I have to say it is one of the best decisions I ever made. I had been admiring locs for a while and decided to go for it. It has been an amazing and empowering journey!

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Wow! That’s awesome Ohhh I wish I started much sooner! It definitely is an amazing journey, agreed! ❤️❤️

[@AutumnnLatrice]

This video was so encouraging! I just started my journey on the 15th of this month. God has given the word “Rebirth” this year and me starting my locs have truly fueled the growth that is happening for me this year.

[@shawnwashington1778]

Amen sis!

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Thanks so much for tuning in and for share that! Amen! Congrats on your new journey! So exciting 🙌🏾🥰

[@hollyjefferson1952]

11 yrs for me and I love my locs. Before I had my locs, I was transitioning and wasn't thinking about locs because I thought wasnt going to look right in them. A quite of few people told me I should have locs because they said I will look beautiful. I tried it and i love 'em to death.

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Congrats on your 11 years!! Woohoo! I’m glad you tried it and love it! ❤️❤️❤️ thanks for sharing

[@Lungiandcaro]

I am 3 years loc'd and l am loving it. My locs are at shoulder length now

Right on time! 2 weeks in and I love my starter locs. I tried the loc extension route but I prefer my own natural hair. I’m ready!!

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Congratulations on starting your Locs! 2 weeks! That’s so exciting!! ❤️

[@shawnwashington1778]

Congratulations on 9 year 🎉! #LocGang I started my locs 3.5 years ago for 2 reasons 1) After a freak accident I broke my ankle on the Great Wall of China 🇨🇳 (I know random lol) and had to have surgery, learn to walk again, etc. So after that I said “life is too short I’m loc’ing my hair” 2) I was starting my PhD so I wanted my hair to reflect my new academic journey as well.

[@shyshylou]

Girl it is so good to see you again . I am 2 years in and loving it. Don't stay away so long , God bless

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Thank you!! It’s been a while..Congrats on your 2 years, love! ❤️❤️ I wont stay away so long again. I’ve noticed that I hardly uploaded in 2020, that will change for 2021 😌

[@roannkdhm8216]

The reason that I started my locs 10years ago is because of chemical damage,straighten, i alwayss get bad burns. As a kid growing up i always admire locs. I would say "I like that rollie,cocscrew hairstyle,and how long it would get. It is the best decision I have made❤❤❤🇹🇹

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Thanks so much for sharing that! Wow.. I’m glad that choose a journey that you absolutely love! Happy 10 years to you ❤️❤️🥰

[@onejermiah7416]

Hey 👋🏾 Im 7 months in and it’s been going good honestly I love the way my hair looks and how it changes each phase... I started because I feel like it is meant for me to have long hair and plus my hair represents who I am

[@tequanariley4082]

I was natural 5 years and I’m coming up on my 1 year locversary ! I’ll never go back, absolutely love it ❤️

[@thewookienatural3391]

I started my locs at 49 after many years of wanting to do it. I feel the same way about what you said as a commitment, a journey to self-love and improvement.

[@girlgolden2249]

I grew up with locs basically. But in fourth grade, I was so hung up on the beauty standard(I literally said to my stepmother who was doing my hair, that I wanted straight hair as long as Rapunzel's. Because straight hair is prettier.) and pleasing girls that were bullying me at the time that I took down my locs causing me to have short hair. And after a long time like 5-9 months later when I moved, regret started to overwhelm me and I had practically begged to have my hair back in locs because I really did miss having locs(also curly hair is a freaking pain to maintain and I was tender-headed) and my stepmother didn't want to put back in locs because it took so long to take down. Eventually, my stepmother caved in and helped put my hair back in locs. Never went back to natural sense. I still have regrets because my hair now isn't as long as it used to be(it was down to my thighs and now it's down to the middle of my back) but I am just happier in my hair now and my seventh loc anniversary is soon. So if you like your hair now don't change for NOBODY or ANY BEAUTY STANDARD. ALL HAIR IS BEAUTIFUL!

[@peacefuljoy1197]

You betta go head and talk that talk girl 🙏🏾✨So inspiring and affirming

[@klynn8308]

I agree with everything you said in this video. I’m 10 months into my journey, and I love every minute. I started my journey for the same reasons, and I don’t care what people think either (never have).

[@martajajackson1836]

I NEEDED this. Loving yourself THROUGH the process. PREACH 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@righteousace3530]

Thank you Queen its very hard to find individuals that truly understand what locs are ...Peace light and love

[@kearreasharpe19]

I hit my 2 year mark on Dec. 31st. I started them b/c I was ready for a change. I thought I wanted to cut them a couple of months ago, but I just needed to play with them like I did my loose natural hair

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Happy 2 years loc’d beautiful! 😍😍 and yesss I haven’t had moments that I wanted to cut mines, but I definitely would see some loose natural styles or braids on IG and I’m like I want that style 😂❤️ and yes sometimes you just gotta give your Locs that extra love to remind you why you started

[@kearreasharpe19]

@@BeSpiffyBeYou thank you!

[@yannly6934]

Yes sis😁 I feel and agree with everything you’re speaking of 👏🏾💯 Your locs are gorgeous✨I have been locked for 10 years and loving the loc journey. Thanks for sharing stay blessed Shalom to you and may Abba YAHUAH keep you and continue to guide you along your journey. New subscriber 🙌🏾♥️ btw I love how you started with Proverbs 14:30😊

[@mzmoett]

Feb 3rd would have been my 9th year! I cut my old set off last April because I felt they weren’t healthy! I started hating them. But I could never see myself having loose hair ever again! I rocked a TWA all summer last year and got my baby locs last October. I’m going to try and take better care of this new set. I will be 4 months in at the end of this month :)

[@Lele20.20]

Gonna be on my fifth year next month and I've been so frustrated and self-conscious of my hair lately, but this really made me feel a lot better about my journey. I also have kinky tight curled hair and some days I'm embarrassed that my hair doesn't look like I have a fresh twist because of new growth and my length not being where I want it. I remembered that I started this journey for ME and wanted to love and accept myself naturally. Thank you for this

[@tamikabutler3829]

Hey loving the locs I’ve always loved locs before I started mine next month will be 2yrs loc’d During my journey it’s been more than just hair along the way self love it was the best choice I ever made

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Yesss! 🙌🏾 congrats on your 2 years ❤️

[@juicewithtip]

I'm so ready to take this sew in out and start my fifth and final loc journey! I've been debating between comb coils and instant locs. If anybody has instant loc referrals in Dallas, TX, LMK. Thanks for the inspiration. You and your locs are gorgeous. 😍

[@kraxykam7242]

I really needed this. Not because I'm loc'd but also they fact that I have to keep on reminding myself that I'm beautiful spiritually too and I walk with the Holy Spirit everywhere with me and God appreciates everything I do to please him in his sight. And it doesn't even matter about how I look physically anymore, God knows my heart, and because of that, I'm pure and special in his and my way

[@miacalhoun9464]

I absolutely love your message. So inspiring, positive, and beautiful. I felt it thank you! Peace & blessings

[@erika2053]

Beautiful video. Beautiful locs. I’m 4 days in on my 2nd set of locs. My 1st I did not like the way they looked and my hair wasn’t at it’s healthiest state. Patience is a virtue. I’m glad I gave it another shot. I can’t wait to see how my locs progress. ❤️

[@JazziMaiArt]

I feel good the instant your video plays 😍💖 you're awesome 😎 2 months on the 15th...I love my baby locs💖 keeping a photo journal of my journey.

Aww you are sweet.. I’m so glad ❤️ Thank you, love! Congrats on your soon to be 2 months. I wish you the best in your loc journey 🥰 stay strong and embrace the process. Yes 🙌🏾 I feel like documenting the journey is absolutely the best!

[@juicewithtip]

The analogy with working out, that was it! I'll be starting my fifth journey this year.. This time with med/thick locs.

[@jdverdine26]

I’m 2 months in and people keep giving their unwanted opinion. I was a loose natural and wore my curly hair and fro, now I have people asking when am I going to comb my locs out . The audacity ! I’m happy with my decision and excited about every stage. Thanks for sharing.

[@chelseylaguerre9820]

I’m glad I found this video. Very inspiring. I started my locs 3 days ago. Adjusting to the coils but excited for the journey ahead!

[@CourtezHill]

yo... this video touched my soul and reflected a lot of my personal journey. Thanks for sharing your story and helping me remember some of mine.

[@leeceyleece2406]

I enjoyed this video. You’ve got to know yourself and be comfortable in your own skin to get locs because sadly too many have too much to say when you get started on the journey. So many of my people tried to discourage me and I wasn’t even asking for their opinion 🤷🏾‍♀️ I had vision and I knew why I was doing it, they didn’t share that and it’s okay. But people who get locs, in my opinion, are normally strong individuals who know themselves and don’t need the approval of others. Thank you for this video ❤️✊🏿

[@scorpiobeauty1269]

Your locs are beautiful! It'll be two years in may for me and I'm loving my locs💜 thanks for sharing!

[@Mspinklocs]

First let me say I loved your video. This is my second set of locs and first started my locs because I got tired of the combing,braiding and putting weave. So my mom suggested I put locs and I never looked back. I love love my locs. It's a process and I also love my natural hair so having natural hair and locs was the best decision ever. I cut my locs last year after having it for 9 years past my waist and now it's shoulder length. But whatever length it's at I love my locs

Your hair is beautiful 😍 I started my locs 11 years ago and it was SUPER long beyond my bum until I went and did stupidness and bleached it and it broke it and I decided to cut it shorter to help the damage 😭😭😭 I still haven't got over that loss, but mine is till beyond shoulder length nearly reaching my bum again but still! I miss when it was all lengthy and even. LESSON IS DO NOT PUT BLEACH OR CHEMICALS IN YOUR BEAUTIFUL LOCS haha!

This is one video that I honestly don't know where to start you hit on so many important points it's not funny like doing your hair I'm 8 years and and I recently dye conditioned and retwisted and it took like maybe 5 hours but that's my 5 hours to treat myself self-care I loved what you said you hit on so many important points I really don't know where began thank you for this video we really needed to hear it.just my opinion I think sometimes people grow locks thinking that this is the way to get away then that's why a lot of them end up combing it out if you want length just take your time you don't have to grow locks then end up cutting them off just to get mine just my opinion
