That letter to your self was lovely, im 7 months locd

[@sheeshneesh]

30 years old?!? U look good!

[@mayiinbloom]

31 now actually, lol but thanks, enjoying each year

[@laurenlocd3180]

30 is not old

[@xen2125]

30 isn’t old lol chill

[@angel-xi6ie]

@@xen2125 no one said it was old. you can usually tell when someone is 30, with her it’s difficult. chill lol

[@BajanBoo]

I think the person was giving her a compliment meaning if she is 30, she actually looks younger than that. Meaning she looks great for 30. Yes, it doesn’t mean she is old at 30 but she carries her self well for 30.

[@TheWellnessAbbey]

Good for you, sis. I started my loc journey a couple of months ago, too. I'm done with loose natural hair lol. I have no more patience for detangling...

[@mayiinbloom]

Hey sis! You did it! How is going so far, you are two months in now right? Yes, I feel they both have their perks and challenges but here we are!

[@alishaacquaye3853]

I LOVE YOUR LOX!! I just started my own journey 2 weeks ago, and you are the first person I’ve found whose hair texture and hair shape is closest to my own. It is so inspiring to see your journey. You are beautiful and your hair is stunning. Thank you for sharing your journey! 🤎🤎🤎

[@VenusEnergy3]

What a stunning video. Your letter to your hair brought a tear to my eyes. God bless you on your journey 🙏🏽✨

[@mayiinbloom]

Thank you sis

[@sacb2000]

They are looking amazing and suits you perfectly as I thought they would 👌🏾

[@uniqueanartist6792]

beautiful hair and person. Love your style. I love how your hair looks when its not retwisted or when it unravels.

[@angelique7865]

The letter was beautiful and so are your locs . I can’t wait to start my journey✨

[@mayiinbloom]

Thank you. And yay! Go for it Angelique - we only have this one magical life in this form, why not ;-)

[@rukayatmoi7877]

Thank you so much. I can't even explain how beautiful it was watching your journey - I fell both in love with you, and myself simultaneously. I've just started my loc journey and am letting the journey be the destination whilst patience is my vehicle. Thank you for sharing this x

[@mayiinbloom]

Aww you! Thought I had answered this before, but thank you so much for your comment and glad that you are on this bomb ass journey as well! May it be a purposeful one.

[@michellefriar26]

I love the letter you wrote to yourself it was beautiful

[@fashionwithoutlabels]

Subbing! I thought I was the only one who wrote a letter to my hair and affrimations when I started my journey. I am like 8-9 weeks loc'd and I love it. I can really tell you are enjoying your journey as well. I love love love my frizzy hair...it also makes my hair look thicker.

[@mayiinbloom]

Awww yay! Welcome to the tribe and wishing you all the joy on your own natural hair journey

[@Doc_McStuffins]

Wow. Stunning! 💙

[@Khadija10_19]

Beautiful 😊

[@one.shavn.michael4702]

i tried 2 strand twist to lock and imo it takes way longer because the hair restricted somewhat in the pattern of the twist. ive since taken them out and instead i just did a few interlock loops at the root to make defined sections and now im just letting it free form from there. locking much faster but less neat and manicured, which i like. Your hair is looking healthy and pretty 4c queen.

[@worthit4life]

Love it!!!

[@michellephillips4895]

Your hair looks beautiful and this video was great,, the breakdown was amazing. Plz continue to do these update I would like to know how your hair doing. PS just started mine its been 1 month 2wks😊 Im so excited.

[@mayiinbloom]

Welcome to the loc fam Michelle! I wish you all the best on your journey and will make sure to keep updating on the journey :-) Also, for monthly updates, my Instagram @mayinbloom is much better for that :-)

[@BajanBoo]

When I first started my locs journey, I was suppose to go for a retwist after 3 months and I never did. I just let it form on its own and I did my first wash after 3-4 months.

[@brianawilliams5602]

You remind me of myself Your vibes are so gorgeous I’m thinking about locing up my hair also!

[@mayiinbloom]

Aww do it! Every day I love it even more

[@parispatterson3778]

I Started my locs in Spetember and im going for freeform look hopefully my new job does not become a problem.

[@kimberlymichellethomas9964]

Thank you 🤗

[@Jupiter88844]

You Locs are Gorgeous 💜 new subscriber :)

[@iamdanie_.]

Kinky hair is so perfect for locs.. my hair is 2 textures and the back that's kinky definitely hold the twist way better than the front that's straighter. It just frizzes lol

[@mayiinbloom]

Right? My hair is loc-ing so well thanks to all the tight kinks

[@joilove1444]

Ayeee Infinite Waters 🌊

[@mayiinbloom]

Ayeeee Diiivviing Deeep! ;-)

[@KaijuBelix]

[@mayiinbloom]

It really is! The magic of 4c hair and congratulations on your journey! :-)

You like infinite waters too. I do too I love him

[@mayiinbloom]

I really do, check in with him here and there :-)

[@theresanykesha]

Love your hair! Quick question, did you combine some of them?

[@mayiinbloom]

Hey Theresa, not at that point but now I have combined a few in the front that I thought were too small :-)

[@theresanykesha]

I recently started my locs and you are my inspiration. If you have time, please update us on your progress soon. Also how many locs do you have now that you combined a few of them?

[@mayiinbloom]

@@theresanykesha Welcome to the loc folks Theresa, awww, I am happy to have inspired you on your journey as others have on mine :-) And yes, I will be sure to do another update soon, as my hair is almost a year now! So fast!

[@sirena7811]

may I ask? what do you use to do these edits? they are lovely

[@mayiinbloom]

Hey Sirena, thank you, I still just use Final Cut Pro :-)

[@damnib4722]

What's the name of the background instrumental you used?

[@mayiinbloom]

Hey you, as always music is included in the description box ;-)

[@e.hughes3936]

How many locs did you start with?

[@e.hughes3936]

Also. Your locs are so, so beautiful.

[@mayiinbloom]

Hey you, I have around 151 locs I think, put will probably do another count after my one year mark soon :-)

[@Brownmahfun]

She is a cutie but this is why I would NEVA start locs on long hair.

[@iamdanie_.]

But why are you "unravelling" them after retwisting them? I don't understand. Your hair is long enough to where you can retwist and two strand twist them on time. I'd keep them like that as long as I can (won't you won't go crazy without a updo lol)

[@mayiinbloom]

I twist them together to hold the retwist and once it is fry, I prefer to unravel them, as it is the look I prefer. Sometimes I do keep them in longer though, but it depends on what I like and how I feel :-) Good luck on your journey!

[@christianjiancc]

I know you don't like me saying it but I hate locks and I love the natural afro I just think it's Unique. Now that being said I have no idea how much is involved in taking care of natural hair so it's easy for someone who doesn't have to put in the work to give his opinion. quite surprisingly I like the look on you I guess it fits in with your overall Vibe the natural look love that you are not shaving also. Maybe I was wrong to be so opinionated and harsh, so sorry for that but you didn't have to block me...lol

[@mayiinbloom]

Hey you, yes, you were being rather harsh and persistent on a subject on something I was not looking for your feedback on: My hair and what I wanted to do with it. I am a rather tolerant person and by the time I block someone, I have exhausted making things clear to them. I don´t expect people to agree with all my choices or ideas or opinions, but I also mostly share from a place of: "this is what I do and why it makes sense to ME". I would and have never made an effort to go on anyone´s page or platform to tell them how wrong or how much I don´t like something they want to do to their body or in their lives. If I want an opinion on something, I am not shy to ask, so just as a note, if I didn´t ask for your opinion, chances are, I am not in desperate need for it. Especially, harsh opinions that feel like they are based on the assumption, that I had put little to no thought into why I do something or not. I just want to make that very very clear. My spaces are digital sanctuaries. As a black woman, I face enough unrequested opinions and expectations of my existence and how I live. It is not in low supply and noticing that you were often more than eager to let me know how you disagreed with things I did or said even often from misunderstanding was exhausting. So yes, I needed to block you or anyone who is that taxing in my presence or spaces. I am glad you had some time to reflect, and while I am not sure how I forgot to block you here lol, I will let it be for now on the understanding that you now understand what I am not here for. I will not tolerate behavior on my platforms which I would not feel comfortable or entitled to do in other people’s spaces. So those are my personal boundaries. Luckily for you, there are hundreds of women on this platform without locs and who live as you wish to live, so if you ever feel exhausted by my way of life, or the way I style my hair, feel free to find your tribe and people too. As we all deserve to. I hope that makes it clear and thanks for your comment. M.

[@christianjiancc]

​@@mayiinbloom My feedback wasn't coming as a need of control, it was coming from a sincere belief that outside practices that are not African should be pointed out as such. Because I respected your decolonization series I was a little bit surprised that you thought locks were African. But now I understand you were talking to more from a convenience I think. I was recently talking to some sisters and they told me how much work was actually involved in keeping and maintaining natural hair. I never realize how much work was involved so it actually makes me more proud of the women who actually do it, and more understanding of the ones who don't. I also understand that even in my sincerity I can still be speaking from ignorance. Sometimes when we trying to heal ourselves and each other we forget to be compassionate and truly understand what has happened to us as a people. I admit I probably wasn't speaking to you out of love and more out of frustration at this growing trend that is masquerading as Consciousness. And just because it makes sense to us individually doesn't necessarily mean it makes sense. I could be just as individualistic and say well I can marry who I want and do what I want, but we both know from the communal ancestral obligations that is not REALLY so. DONT WE? Social media makes it difficult to talk to each other because everybody is looking for acknowledgement and any type of energy that's not that is viewed as negative. Now as far as that going on someone's page voicing your opinion look if you want to diary buy a book when you put something out in public format don't be surprised when people respond. Oh you don't want someone commenting on your hair yet you want to control HOW people respond goodness gracious. You do understand that is not your page but a facebook page they let you use to sell shit, everything you post belongs to them NOT YOU. And because you feel this way I will not, do your own things lady

[@MoniMeka]

Is your hair your god? 🤔 the wording in the letter you wrote is godlike qualities. Very weird letter. Just being truthful.

[@mayiinbloom]

I listened to my letter again and I find your comment interesting not that I owed you an explanation but was curious where you came to that conclusion from.....I am not religious and have no interest in worshipping anything or anyone - However, having and showing appreciation and gratitude to things/people that touch me, is important to me. I am assuming it could be the part before but also "master of my ship and captain of my soul" a part which is inspired by Invictus (unconquered in Latin), a poem by William Ernest Henley. A poem that is rather dear to me because it relates to the resilience, strength and determination of character but also my hair and spirit. I also try to be rather intentional about how I move through life and enjoy setting intentions behind my actions and choices that are true and grounding to me.
