I'm Getting Dreadlocks for the First Time | Starter Locs

[@Djavan2499]

Started my Loc journey back in December after transitioning from braids & been braiding my hair for 5 years. Trust me it’s worth it 👏🏾 also been watching for content all through out ✊🏾

[@Alliwantismoney15]

Ayo bro did you wash during the beginning stages of your loc journey?

[@Leo-qv2nu]

@@Alliwantismoney15 when it comes to braids u can wash them whenever you want because they wont unravel

[@kwakumadridista1916]

what type of starter locs did you do and often do you retwist em? do you moisturize/condition your locs?

[@nedbass1]

I’d like to hear your reasons and not just “trust me”

[@lothegreat1788]

I went through the same thing recently and started letting my hair lock in June. I was rocking 2strand forever and my barber was saying loc up loc up. I finally say f it, the less maintenance and ease of care was the big one for me. The versatile styles etc. you were a big part of my hair growth on the first place and now the loc journey too, definitely coping some product when they drop.

[@Itsdawrld]

Bro I had dreads for 5 years and your videos encouraged me to comb them out a few weeks ago lol I’ll be using your old videos during my natural hair journey

A lot of people often get lochs and complain about having an "ugly phase" and then undo the lochs. Don't put too much thought into that or outright ignore those people. You'll be fine.

Bruh, I started growing my hair in December 2022 because of you and your journey. Im regrowing my hair since cutting it in 2013. Started with twists in April 2023 for 4 months and now I'vehad braids since August. I deep condition once a month faithfully and oil once a week. We lost another a good one to the Loc-Gang but thanxx for the hair tips bro

[@resmith44321]

This is sooooo exciting. I had been watching you for awhile. 7 months ago I decided to loc so I felt like we were on different journeys so I wasn't watching as much...... BUUUT NOW!!!! OMG!!! I'm so excited for you. I promise you are going to love them. ❤ 😍

[@KingBril]

yea im keeping that fact in my back pocket

[@HiranEdge]

Best decision you can make with your hair. I use to have braids and followed your channel, now I’m 11 months locked. If you deep condition your hair make sure a loctician does it. They use deep condition products specifically for locs. If you use normal deep condition products your hair will more than likely struggle locking or won’t lock up like that.

[@KingBril]

ahh okay thats good advice brethern

[@KingBril]

[@cubanorasta94]

I had a feeling you might be getting loc when I recently saw your released loc product. I had my locks for 5 years before I cut them a while back. My hair was the longest it’s ever grown and like you, I mastered them. Had e v e r y hairstyle and never paid a loctician because my mom and girl I was with all those years did my hair and ALWAYS kept my hair clean as an athlete. Nobody had better locks than me. I do have to say, unless you are deeply committed, you too will get bored of them eventually unless you can maintain your “this is my style” about them. Much love.

[@KingBril]

oh yea i wont have them for long. Id say probablly 2- years max and then im cutting it all off

[@juscripz1362]

cant lie started watching you when i was about 14 when i started growing my hair during quarantine now im 16 and my hair has grown so much mainly thanks to your tips,lol ngl man big thanks cus at the time when i was 14 i couldnt trust the process just wanted my hair to grow as fast as possible and now were here and my hair long ash man thanks ngl, cant believe u switching over to the other side man.

[@ShooterRichardson]

I just loc’d my hair up, I grew my hair out and was getting it braided for the past year, I knew I was gonna loc up, but I didn’t wanna go thru the short phase. I loved my braids and especially having my hair out after a good wash.. I use to say imma wait until my 3rd,4th, or 5th year, but I was ready sooner than I thought. Takes commitment and patience with locs. A whole lifestyle 😊 Getting first retwist in 5 days, good luck everyone 🔒🆙

[@x_NB3]

I'm on that same boat with u bro.. I feel like dreads or locs is way simpler than natural hair cause u don't have to worry about taken down ur hair after every style u get.. dreads u simply just wash and get retwist but the downside is if u have longer dreads them retwist can take up to hours and might be a lil bit expensive but it will be worth it

@@KingBril the hair is are antennas if you know TV I’ve never seen a TV get good reception with bent and broken and twist antennas on top of that if you look at old pictures of Egyptians the hair was in braids before it got started to get matted into locs and as we both know if you keep braids in to long it will start to loc up Egyptians was above this hair style and lived a more royal life this hair style wouldn’t even be acceptable in that timeline think about it a king wouldn’t even be able to put hes crown on correctly that’s way braids was more ideal because it was able to lay down well to be able to put the crown on the hair style has fooled every one to think this is was the way to wear are hair it it isn’t and if you are a plant or a tree you know no tree would survive with that much manipulation of breaking and twisting that’s why over time as the hair row the hair would start to try to push all the bad hair to the side making room for new growth because the hair has died on top of the the Egyptians never had the tool to be able to form locs and do it nicely so it started with braids then when they passed away it naturally got matted and loc up over time

Get ready for your hair to shrink! Only until it locks up then it takes off

[@KingBril]

lol ah hell

[@IvyKungu]

At the very least dilute the heeeelllll out of the conditioner! Starter locs can hold buildup deep in your locs and you don’t want that bc it can look gunky and smell down the road. Some people incorporate more conditioner after a year+ (aka it’s easier to use it straight out the jar at that time) bc your locs have formed and will hold less deep in the loc. But that first year or two is crucial and you def wanna at least make the conditioner watery. I use the redken “ACIDIC BONDING CONCENTRATE LIGHTWEIGHT LIQUID CONDITIONER” bc it’s so light but it fortifies the hair beautifully! It’s a rinse out conditioner, not a deep conditioner, but it’s effectively the same for my locs without leaving any kind of buildup. You can feel an immediate difference in your hair even though it’s so light!

Didn’t wait until it locked in a year in. Washing made my hair tangle faster. Took close to eight months. For the front to lock because it’s wavy and straight

Hi King Bril quick question, would you recommend using braid sprays while hair is in a protective style or is oiling your scalp enough ? Also how to you keep your hair moisturized in a protective style ?

I use the ‘As I am black caster oil water’ to hydrate my cornrows daily. And I also oil using the ‘wild growth hair oil’ every other day

Oh yea how can I forget, a huge reason I cut em cus I was looking like the next man😂😂I’m telling you everyone has dreads nowadays, you better do something different with it if you get em. And Dreads does not make u “more spiritual”. When you repent and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior you get filled by the Holy Spirit, let the Holy Spirit lead you.
