[@iAmLeslieJones]

WE DIDI IT! I just hit 3 months keke J!!! ❤

[@NotaryNotions]

Me too!

[@Peppermintmocha13]

I am 10 months into my journey and have less than 45 days away celebrating my 1st loc anniversary. Congratulations on your 3rd year! I have been following you for a minute and it was your inspiration that helped me decide to take this journey! I can't wait to color her, but I am trusting the process. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@freshdew4153]

I got bored after 15 years….chopped them….then regretted it and have started again 😁

[@pinkest]

Thank you for the honesty! Genetically, I grow (and keep) nearly 16 inches of hair each year, so I cut it off to about 2 inches every year or so. I’ve grown 2 sets of locs to a little shorter than yours, but unravel/cut once mature because I missed the frizz. 😂 I plan to start a new set before the year is over, but Lord knows they may be gone by year two. Also, your hair is beautiful!!

[@ElleDeas]

Lol Girl This is essentially my plan lol. Like I LOVE LOVE LOVE my fro, but the way my roots be tangling?? Like how you tangling at the roots girl, but she is so pretty! I’m a wash and PTO day away from setting up my twists! I’m so excited!

[@jacm5]

I started my loc journey because of you. I’ll be 3 years in May. I love seeing your journey!

[@a_2502]

GIRL!!! I'm itching to get locs! I'm a wash n go girl now and honestly, it doesn't take long at all but I'm a lazy natural lmao. I'm going to get a trim soon and hopefully in the next 6 months or so, I'll get locs!

[@arnellerenae4743]

You and Kendra Kenshay were my microloc inspirations!!! I love the journey and have surpassed a year in July!!!

[@beingmichelleg]

I'm 16.5 months (16 as of Oct 1). I would have been further but I took out first set because they were a little too big (280). At 350 now and this last retwist was so easy - just a few stubborn ones that are slipping but the rest are finally acting right. I do not miss loose natural hair at all and am looking forward to the coming drop. Seeing you ahead of me gives me lots to look forward to while enjoying this current bob. Thank you again for documenting and sharing your journey as you've really helped me DIY my own and stick with it especially in the early days of constant marrying. PS I'm team don't pull when doing length checks this way when your hanging length looks like you just made the goal you then pull and show you're already past the mark!

[@hiddencurls]

New subscriber here. Your locs are absolutely gorgeous. I am close to 5 months on my sisterlock journey and can’t wait until I am fully loc’d. I am also documenting my journey and loving it. Thanks for sharing. Peace!

[@ronicasmith-lz3mk]

Congratulations on 3 years I’m 2 years and 1 month loced 🎉❤😊

[@ms.virgo82187]

Im 13 months microlocd and still in the bob stage...cant wait until I get to your length. Im still not completely locd yet...my loctition told me maybe 2-yrs I will be...but we will see! 😊 Love yours ❤ #locdgangallday!

[@ShadesofSage]

Congratulations on 3 years loc’d 🔒❤️🥳! I’m 2 years in with traditional size locs 🤗!

[@SimplyBeauty96]

I'm a year and a half loc'd and I started because of you. I saw how your hair transformed and I knew I could do it too. Especially since we had similar hair texture.

[@VW1801]

Congratulations on 3 years loc'd! I loved the update! This week, I'll be 16 months loc'd (traditional locs). I have noticed something that you mentioned in your update; which is less frizz around the 14-16 year mark, but I'm still loving and embracing the journey!

[@beingmichelleg]

Hey Loc Twin!! I'm 16 months as of Oct 1!

[@VW1801]

@@beingmichelleg congrats!

[@shenshen4808]

I love how present you've been throughout the whole experience, this is so refreshing ❤

[@SamSkiBaby]

Congrats on 3 years!!!! I'll hit 1 year next month ❤

[@NotKekePalmer]

SO EXCITED FOR YOU. THEY MATURED SO BEAUTIFULLY!!

[@jazminb8853]

love this. I am 7 months into my loc journey. I installed impulsively with twists. my hair h i as been budding since month 2. i started with mid back loose natural 2a-3c curls. now it is to my bra strap locd. best choice ever. now i just need to train myself to go longer in between my reties. I have medium size locs and interlock my roots. i have 97 locs =)

[@morgandenise2550]

Your locs look so good. Congratulations on 3 years!! You’re one of the reasons I started my loc journey. I’m a year in and loving every moment of it!! ☺️

[@musiclady0711]

I love love love this! I’m 21 months in, and my locs are growing faster than I thought! They are starting to creep down my back, and I just finessed (aka using several Bobby pins) a center part low bun today. Can’t nobody tell me nothing 🤣 I’m becoming more curious as to how my would look at bra strap length. It might take some time since they’re pretty much in layers

[@brittneer8940]

2 years next month. You were my inspiration and the only video I watched before I started. Later realized.. I’m suited best for small traditional locs lol.

[@sheilaandfrank]

Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈🍾

[@michelebull6138]

I will hit 3 months on 10/25. I have been watching your videos before your loc journey. I Love your locs! Watching your loc journey inspired me to get loc'd. Thank you for the update.😊

[@Haleigh_4008]

Wow I was having thoughts about combining out my locs because I miss my natural hair but people compliment me then I change my mind but seeing your video makes me feel better I can't wait to see your journey - I'm 1 year and 5 months sisterloc

[@AbiAkoms]

You were my inspiration when I was doing research and I am officially on day one of my microloc journey! Did them myself and so excited! Congratulations on 3 years! Your locs are gorgeous

[@flowthefortuneteller888]

2 years 4 months here !!! your locs look so lovely, been here from the beginning and you inspired my own micro loc journey❣, missing volume and the texture of my loose natural hair is the exactly the reason i combed out my ends. my set is giving best of both worlds no hannah Montana..🤭 lol cant wait to continue seeing your locs flourish and see where your hair journey takes you.🫶🏿❣

[@deeyalafleur-moore7982]

Congratulations!!! It's creeping down your back & you're still talking to us?! Lol I've been following for a couple of years, so thank you for being an inspiration! I have complicated my journey a lil bit...I started mine in March of last year but wasn't happy with the size in the back/crown area, so I combed all of those out over the summer, re-did them smaller, but kept the rest. Now it looks like I have a graduated bob with the front being almost a year & a half mature & hanging & the back kind of looking stacked. Technically I have 2 locaversaries now 😫 lol I'm loving my journey & only regret not starting years ago. Congrats again on your gorgeous journey💜🙌🏽🫶🏽🎉

[@MelloneeKecia]

Congratulations on your 3 year Locanniversary your locs look amazing 🎊🎉🎈🥳🥰❤️👍🏾👏🏾🤗

[@serikime]

Your hair is gorgeous!! I'm 1,5 years loc'd and I love my locs, you're one of the person who convinced me into getting microlocs! I had similar hair type and hair length as you when you started out and so far my evolution is similar to yours so I'm very excited for how my hair will be once I hit the 3 year mark! And I have a copper dye ^^

[@UmmAsaadx4]

I love everything about your locs. Congratulations on another year 🎉 I started braids locs 1 months ago with 363 braids. I’m struggling with the urge of doubling some &’ also making the braids twist! 😫

[@lovelyerg]

I’m 14 months in! I can’t wait for my locs to reach bra length 😍

[@MrsWynter910]

hey loc twinnn! 14 months here too!😁💜

[@erickawilliams6273]

I'm 2 yrs 9 months in my DIY microloc journey. Enjoying every minute!

[@NaturallyDarrien]

Yay! Right behind ya Nov 29th 3 years 🥲 thank you for sharing your journey with us❣️

[@mixxedchic7947]

Happy anniversary!!! Maybe you can sew some micro beads into it, use kanakalon weave as your thread. Just to switch it up to quench the desire to do something drastic to Lionel.

[@bethanybdl]

Three years!! Yeesh, how long have I been subscribed. Time flies by so fast. Anyhow, congratulations, wooo!!🎉❤

[@morganova9145]

😍Your journey has inspired me so much! I hit 1 month microloc’d on the 19th; loving my volume and frizz at this point!

[@ranellaflowers9156]

Congratulations KeKe on your 3yr loc anniversary!! I will be 3yrs Sisterloc’d on Nov 1st!! Loving 🥰 my Loc journey also. I’ve followed your loc journey since the beginning and enjoy your videos. If you cut your locs off, please keep them in case your want to reattach the locs. I hope your don’t perm your hair the chemicals have been causing fibroids and cancer in BW! The health issues with perms are not worth a hair style. You are beautiful 😍 naturally!

[@islagirl10]

I’m 9 months loc’d (traditional)! I love loc’d girl life and NEVER want to go back to loose hair but I’m also considering maybe doing another set with smaller traditional or microlocs? I don’t think I can get past doing a 8hr-2 day retie though…I typically wash and retwist my 80 locs in two hours and love this lifestyle lol. Congratulations on making it 3 years!!! Your locs are so beautiful!

[@nmajors2911]

Happy 3 year locked Anniversary’s 🎉😂❤

[@KekeJ]

Thank you so much! 🥰

[@annechona243]

I am one month loced and trusting the process you were my inspiration to loc my hair and I am loving it so far I’ll be honest there were many times I wanted to take them out and there will be many more times but I’m trusting the process

[@Khandiee]

I’ll be three years in April, I’m so excited. I started my locs because of you ❤ I love watching your loc videos because our hair is the same length and size. Your locs are gorgeous 😍

[@roccafille]

I do really get that craving to change up your hairstyle. They look so healthy and gorgeous tho. Just keep them like this, you rock this look 🤎💛💙💚🧡!!

[@bloodwashedcs]

Loving your locs 😍 I got started after binge watching your videos😂😂 I'm now 6 months loc'd x

[@Waridi23]

You inspired me to do my DIY locs and i started with twists. They are the best thing i did on my hair! i am now 2 years 5 months in! i'm looking to color though im afraid of damage. I have never colored my hair but i realize the reason i did the microlocs was so as to gain freedom!

[@slimdouglas618]

I am 1yr 7 months loc’d. Your hair looks amazing, congrats on 3yr locaversary

[@christinag2542]

You should be proud! I’m proud for you.

[@TodaysTmrrw]

I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already I feel like you were just taking out the first set of micro locs wow! I’m 10 months in & love this update, loving my volume and all the conveniences of locs thanks for always serving Inspo 🙌🏽🫶🏽

[@dovesunderwater5389]

I am 4yrs and 10 months. Love your energy.

[@FT-db3ty]

You inspired my log journey. I’m an almost 2 years on November 4th. I love them!

[@LesaJ]

I’m going through the same debate. I’m miss my loose natural hair but also love my locs.

[@christinasmith4262]

I'm 6 months in. You inspired me to get them and it really is a journey. Some days I love them and am in awe of the changes and some days I feel boxed in and want to change it. But I love them for sure

[@bncouraged7394]

I'm right there with you. 3yrs this month! I absolutely love everything about my locs❤

[@ladyj6182]

Congratulations on 3 years 🎉. I’m four years in. Still the best decision I ever made

[@BelieverFirstwithSharonJoy]

Gorgeous 😭😭😭

[@luv-velvet]

i literally love your locs ! i didn’t have the patience for micro locs but who knows maybe in the future 😊 & i am 5 months & 1 week loc’d !!

[@lindacantonlc]

Your crown looks Amazing Queen, yes she has flourished beautifully, Can't wait to get pass my shoulders 😅❤

[@wastedad7123]

I’m starting my journey today at 3 inches! I can’t wait what it looks like!

[@SimplyAMTY]

Hi Keke! Great progress! If you're bored could you try a well blended microlocs faux bangs situation? I dont want to cut my mature locs into bangs because I love to do ponytails and such, but I love bangs. Little idea for you :)

[@konabearxx2123]

I’m 2 years in this month!!🎉🎉

[@Brownmahfun]

Maybe you could try wrapping colored yarn around loc/locs as many as you want or weaving it thru your locs or twisting or braiding it up with your locs. Look it up, to get your color fix.

[@jazmincolon6780]

Six months in and im at the volume stage and i love it too wish i could post a pic

[@dallasdorsey2000]

Just hit 6 months locd! It’s my first time and i love them

[@chizubejiwuaku]

Congrats on 3 yrs! I’ll be 1 yr locd in December and I can’t wait! I have traditional locs and I absolutely love them but like you mentioned, as someone who works out, retwists only last so long and you don’t always wanna get a style just to prolong it. That would be the big reason I think microlocs and getting reties instead would be beneficial for me, but I’m just glad I’ve reached the point in my journey where I embrace the frizz and don’t mind the no retwist look

[@sylviaonthego9549]

Congratulations on your 3 years on having locs

[@Neysagarciamuhammad]

I love how much you're enjoying it.

[@ninafigueroa7593]

I'm one year in November. Your videos helped me abs inspired me on this journey so much and I'm loving it

[@TEE18612]

Congrats on your 3 years sis! I'm not too far behind. I'll hit 3 years in February!

[@AviyahAbides]

3:18 I don’t know why, but I found that video edit effect so impressive cause my eyes really followed your finger snap 😂. I’m at the end of my bob phase and imma miss it too 😌

[@rashiedatimpson8980]

Love love love the video! I’m almost 4 months… enjoying the journey

[@tash4761]

You are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing your journey 🤗

[@anranmian86]

I think less hair updates are okay. There are less dramatic changes happening so less is sufficient. Your hair looks great, btw!

[@Celine__Taylor]

I just love how your locs look I just started my locs journey I would really love if my locs could look like yours

[@pennyck9468]

Girl you inspired me! I am 2 years in!!! I love my locs

[@TrudiAdams-Wiggan]

Third set-almost 2.5 years and gray hair is a whole different ball game to lock. It has a mind of its own and some of my texture has gotten straighter and softer even though all of the hair currently on my head has always been natural. Strange!

[@LeLoniAnderson]

To thicken my locs and give them the appearance of thickness I section hair out every 3 rows and while using a soft wave brush, brush them both downward and up wards then afterwards I mist my hair with a spray bottle running my fingers through it all for styling. I do this maybe once or twice a month❤

[@naturallynaz369]

Congratulations Keke! 🎊🎈🎉 Your Locs looks so beautiful and lush! You’re doing a great job maintaining them. I will be 3 years in 9 days. I installed them and also maintain them myself. I’m loving them even more now too. I’m experiencing the same Loc changes too. 🥰 My goal is to be under bra strap without having to stretch them at all. I share and enjoy your Loc journey with you Keke. Continue having fun with your Locs!

[@jadecasssie]

Yasss ❤❤ congratulations!! They look so good. I hit 9 months next week on thr 17th and just got my first style this past Friday. Its been fun so far, ive definitely learned a lot. Again, congrats on your journey and keep flourishing ✨️

[@itsavibe1908]

Your locs are beautiful ❤😃

[@charliyatate8821]

Try using flexing rods to add some curls. Your locs are beautiful!!

[@smithtierra05]

Im still considering locs.. im in the contemplation part of the journey.

[@brittneer8940]

Do it!

[@flowd7451]

I’m 9 months loc’d, I have the same thought of combing/ cutting them. Then I start to remember how draining it was to style my natural hair.

[@Colormeajungle]

Yassss ! I make one year on January 19th of 2024 😍 with my microlocs

[@pfb74]

Congratulations on your 3 year loc'diversary🤘🏾

[@hellosavije1888]

[@lr672]

Your locs are beautiful. I don’t have locs yet. 😂 but I’m scheduled for Nov 8.

[@qcouple4930]

I swear you and I are on the same exact hair journey. I’m three years in January. I just dyed my ends too and we have the same exact length ❤ I’ve been itching to cut it off though but I’m gonna power through.

[@BingBongDillyDong]

Just use Color Oops instead of bleaching your locs, I had blue hair and got tired of it I used Color Oops to remove the blue and it went back to however it had been first bleached. It doesnt damage your hair(for there is no bleach or ammonia) and my curls looked great

[@heyitsjayed]

You inspired me to start my loc journey so I’m excited to see your update! I’m 3 months loc-ed today and love the journey so far. I am worried about the loss of volume so I’m exploring keeping my ends loose.

[@UniqulyBold1]

I’m entering year 3 soon !

[@Shewolfgoddess44]

Your locs are fabulous 👌 ❤ I'll be 3 years loc'd in February

[@Brattybaby333]

Omg!! I remember you inspired me to start my own microloc journey and I'm 2.5 years now 😢 they look so good Keke! I lm excited to see what they look like at 5 years, they definitely gonna be almost waist length.🎉❤

[@nicolebarnes6376]

Happy Anniversary!!! ❤ I will be 3 years in February.

Thank you so much! That’s approaching fast! 💕

Congrats.

[@creamundi3280]

Hmm lets see. Where am I in my lock journey... I started wearing locks in 1998. They were done pretty shity. So before I reached my 2 year journey, I cut them off while backpacking through Australia. I missed them, but wanted to do a proper job this time. So I let my hair grow for a little over a year and went to Amsterdam. Hoping that this shop new what they were doing. It was still a very old school method with a perm, wax and all the things. One thing I admit as being worth it, whas the binding of the roots. It gave the root development a boost and I started keeping my own locks maintained by reminding with tiny rubberbanden. Back then interlocking and crocheting wasn't a thing still. For 5 years I lett my locks grow and I became a proud wearer. I didn't have many (55), but they were a nice volume and they became a nice length for styles like buns and headwraps. Then unfortunately I got unfortunately got headlice. I tried everything to get rid of them, but because of me being a locktician, I became paranoid and cut them off just to make sure they were gone. I cried so hard. I was so devastated that I needed some time to recover. Around 2 years I kept my hair really short. Because off being a locktician myself I still worked on other people 's hair, but kept missing my own. I lost my identity. So in the end I decided on doing my own hair this time. After all the years that had passed I became pretty good as a locktician and started using interlocking and crochet techniques. I was very proud of my new head of locks. I've never has as many as 72. (OK no micro's) I maintained them regularly and kept them for another 10 years. The last two years of which I didn't maintain them anymore. The started free forming and I didn't really mind. Accept for the frizz. Every once in a while I started maintaining some, but always ended up not getting too the end. And so I always wore it in a bun so no one saw the lack off maintaining. Then after Covid I looked at myself in the mirror and knew that I was done. I took my hair scissors and called my mom haha. I explained to her of me, standing in front of the mirror with the scissors. She started laughing 'cause she knew what was up. I cut my hair to shoulder length this time and started combing out what was left. I never regretted the decision, and never cried. My customers never understood, but they just started their journey. Soon after, I put a tiny rubberbanden in a tiny piece of hair in the back. This one tiny tail developed into a new dreadlocks that is now 2 years old and it became my businesscard. I am still not thinking of growing them back, but it has been a great journey nevertheless, for over 25 years. ❤❤❤

[@uthimnanape994]

Hey gurl💕. I love your hair and you're one of the reasons I got microlocs. I just hit 2 months loc'd on the 9th of October. I'm super excited and I'm really just waiting for my hair to be fully loc'd so it stops slipping😭.

[@theecoachcannon]

Yay 🎉 congrats!! You've inspired me to share my loc journey ❤

[@KekeJ]

Thank you! ❤ I’m so glad I could do that for you!

[@charaboston1566]

I'm 4 years in with pencil size traditional locs and they are bra strap but my goal is to reach waist length and keep it there or a little shorter I'm excited
