Loc Size.. | How do you decide??🤔

#Locs #LocSize
Something that many people forget to consider is what size their locs will be as they mature. It's important to do research and just as important to know yourself. Ideally, you know what you want your hair to look like so trust your gut. What works best for you?

Cutting your hair either strenghens your self confidence or breaks it then forces you to accept your face AS IT IS ! Either way, it's great

[@SammyDaGawd]

Soooo true!!💯

[@jasminepitts3979]

whatever_ImAGirl the truth!!

[@kishadivine]

you said that sis! Broke all of my confidence and has taken years to build back.

[@ktaurus510]

Ooh chile YES! the loose natural is for the birds!! 😩 I’m getting ready to go BACK to my locs (had em for 9 yrs, but have been loose for 2) Got it twisted yesterday because I’m running back to my locs 🏃🏾‍♀️💨 Your locs are beautiful, btw.

[@SammyDaGawd]

Whoa 9 years! What made you go back to loose natural?

[@ktaurus510]

SammyDaGawd I had neck surgery awhile ago, and with the weight and length (to my waist), they were causing pain . All I knew is that I wanted the pain to stop, so I started cutting and combing out. Had I not been so in my feelings, I would’ve just left them chin length, instead combing them out.

[@SammyDaGawd]

@@ktaurus510 Oh wow😓Totally understandable. Thank God for your recovery🙏🏽

[@ktaurus510]

SammyDaGawd Thank you!

[@becauseokay9651]

Just found her channel - it's beautiful to see her authenticity. Ahh Thank you 💛

[@SammyDaGawd]

🙌🏾✨

[@CurlMvrck]

I started my locs off small. They are definitely not going to continue to be small. They are going to be THICK and I actually love it. I'm definitely enjoying my journey. My locs are thriving

[@MsSlimntrim]

Onyx cutting up 😂😂😂

[@SammyDaGawd]

Girl!!😅 I wish I could catch him every time on camera but he's so damn fast widdit😩

[@JourneyofRise]

“It’s you own decision!” I liked that . Google is my best friend lol. I’m 7 months in my loc Journey and I can’t wait to see when it’s really loc’d - I’m very content ! ❤️... thank yaaa

[@SammyDaGawd]

Yes google saves lives lol. 7 months 💪🏽 strong!!!

[@brownsuga929]

Beautiful Queen,Love your locs!! I've been locd for 5 months and I was starting to stress about when I'll see the actual size

[@SammyDaGawd]

Thank you😁Welcome to the loc tribe! For me, I was pretty clear on my size by the end of year 1. The budding stage gives you hints too. I hope you're loving them so far!

[@daniellar2165]

Watching this video just solidifies the faith I have in the Loctician I chose. When I knew I wanted to start my loc journey I did a lot of research on the many Locticians around me. The way you started your locs is essentially how she started mine. It’s like just by looking at my hair she knew that all the parting couldn’t be equal because of the way my hair texture and density was. As I come to my 3rd month of this journey I can see now how pivotal that type of information is.

[@stanciarosa7518]

This is a excellent presentation, very articulate and one of the best loc videos I’ve watched.

[@guerrillapi]

That's a deep video and best approach to really deciding to truly want to have locs. Good one SammyDaGawd.

[@user-qw3jy2ju3t]

This makes so much sense. My hair is like yours with the variety of texture esp front and back. So insightful.

[@SammyDaGawd]

I'm really glad it was helpful🙏🏾

[@latifahfaithnjoku8924]

I'm a month and some days into my loc journey and I'm loving it. Thanks for this video

[@JaiHow2011]

Sis, you are the absolute truth. I wish you peace, love, and prosperity!!! I wish that I would have watched this video prior to starting my locs. I'm begging the universe to allow you to succeed in all of your endeavors ❤.

[@SammyDaGawd]

Thank you so much I appreciate the love🙏🏽💕

[@deb4746]

This was a very informative video! You are so down to earth and beautiful, and your locs though...

[@SammyDaGawd]

Thank you so much!!

[@miolana3777]

I'm sorry, but the mischievous cat in the background is hilarious! 😅😆🤣

[@SammyDaGawd]

🤣Onyx was on 1 that day, zero chill🤦🏽‍♀️

[@TankaVizion2]

I watched this video.. Love your personality & had to subscribe!! I'm about to start my Microlocs by interlocking. So grateful for Quarantine in allowing me to FINALLY begin my Loc Journey!! 😏 Onyx is adorable.. He reminds me of my cat Olive.. she does the SAME regarding my poor plants. 🤦🏽🐈🐾😆😅😂🤣

[@SammyDaGawd]

Thank you!🙏🏽💕 quarantine is legit the perfect time to dive in..Onyx has come to respect my plants since this video thankfully😅

[@rosalindbond6554]

I love this video! People definitely need to know

[@psylettagilroy]

I love your approach to your locks. I also did different sizes in different places on my head based on the density and thickness of the strands. At first, I felt a bit insecure about it, because there are so many people talking about making sure that the sizing and parting are even, but I knew the overall look that I was going for, so I decided to vary the sizes. So far, I am happy with the result.

[@IZATVdr]

I have 80 locs but I feel like I slick can’t predict how my locs look, based on people who have locs who I follow some peoples turn way different from their starter stage vs some ppls didn’t change much😭, so I wonder what mine will do. I’m 7 months in and I hope they end up thick

[@IZATVdr]

I have a KZbin channel to if you wanna see how they look

[@SammyDaGawd]

That's so true the journeys all look so different..the more you see the spectrum tho the easier it is to see where u fall. I just checked out your page and 1st of all, you're gorgeous. 2nd, your locs will definitely be thick! I'm tuning into your journey now

[@IZATVdr]

SammyDaGawd Awww thank you , you’re gorgeous too😭and I hope their thick that’s the goal

[@5626BREE]

I subscribed to you both!

[@Lolskay]

@@IZATVdr I’m glad they thickened up to your liking!!

[@niyanna79]

Thank you soooo much I just started my loc journey and now I’m going through them to change it up some. I got them professionally done and they didn’t know my hair like I do!! I’ve been natural for 10 yrs so my hair I longggg!!!

[@SammyDaGawd]

You know your hair and that is your power!🙌🏽

[@sosaidsaffore5086]

Your locs are so amazing.... I love them

[@SammyDaGawd]

ah! Thank you🙏🏾✨

[@beyoubebeautiful5612]

I love your hair! As soon as I clicked on your video, I was an instant subscriber!!!!

[@SammyDaGawd]

Yay! Thank you so much🙏🏾✨

[@beyoubebeautiful5612]

SammyDaGawd you’re welcome

[@CharliesAngel2222]

I love your personality! I feel like if we knew each other we would be the best of friends! Lol

[@TheVideti]

Onyx reminds me of my cat Wildfire. I'm always fussing at her for getting into stuff. Lol.

[@SammyDaGawd]

Ouuu I like her name🔥

[@yltnaillirb4438]

This is the best video on loc size that I’ve seen. It really resonated with me:)

[@SammyDaGawd]

Really?! That’s so awesome I’m glad it was helpful☺️

[@iammeyouareyou5146]

Thts my father saying. URE hair is Ure strength and beauty blah blah blah. I always say it’s hair. I stay cutting mine in a low cut. But I hve locs again for the second time around. I love this set much better then the first set. I have thick ones and a few skinny but thick for the most part.

[@SammyDaGawd]

Shouts to being free and confident enough to hold the reins of you hair journey✨

[@sydentirely1484]

Omg your locs grew sooooo much from then to now 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@mirz4927]

Watchin this vid after im 4 months into my locs😭 kinda wish i looked more into loc sizing before locin up

[@SammyDaGawd]

A lot of ppl have that experience and end up starting over..4 months is early enough for you to combine some if you want a thicker look🤷🏽‍♀️

[@Thatgirlcodes]

Lol you’re cat is cracking me up

[@SammyDaGawd]

🤣he really don’t be giving a damn

[@MxWeirdoifcation]

Yeah I was on the fence but after watching so many of your videos, imma just take my hair down and start my twist

[@SammyDaGawd]

DO IT!! You’ve been feeling the pull, trust yourself✨🧚🏽‍♀️

[@lesay.johnson4498]

Thank you for your feedback. I am excited about starting my journey to locs. I'm almost ready to start. I'm still doing my research and envisioning how my locs will be; styling and maintenance. Love ya!

[@Brownlaycurls]

I love your method and rationale of determining the size(s) of your locks. I did the exact same thing. I have always done my own hair and have about 4 textures and curl patterns and did very small around my edges thinking about when they got heavy i didn’t want to lose them. My edges can handle smaller locks. I also did larger ones at my crown and in the back.

[@miaeubanks8117]

You sound like me and my cat Hoover...i have a spray bottle with water for whey he really cuts up. Loved your video🥰

[@SammyDaGawd]

Yes the spray bottle! lol Cats are a trip

[@bri3596]

Hello, I have not loc my hair yet. I'm thinking to get it done in April. Your videos are very informative and I love your energy and spirit. You have explained a lot and I think I will move forward with locs. However, my hair is already really thick and in the middle of my back. I have never had a relaxer in my life. So, the size would be imperative to me and may be the hardest decision to make because I dont wont my locs to be heavy.

[@fatimamanneh9432]

You are right size matters I did small braids to start my because my hair strands are thin so I didn’t want anything heavy on my follicles now that my locs are maturing they are still small & light even when wet I have 196 locs I knew when I started if I wanted to keep hair on my head I had to do them small even when I used to do my own box braids I always put in really skinny ones because I know my hair no matter how much water I drink or eat fruits and veggies my hair will never be thick or grow more follicles

[@SammyDaGawd]

When you know your hair and what it needs👌🏽✨ >>>

[@duhitsDani]

Here I go thinking I would not find somebody who could be just as relatable to me and my journey!!!!! Giiiirrrll when I tell you my mom was the same way when I got my pixie cut that then changed into a twa with low maintenance, you’d swear it was her hair! And I do not look like a boy!

[@SammyDaGawd]

They really be living vicariously through our hair the way they react🤣Madam! It will grow back.

[@DB101415]

Great video!! Your locs are beautiful!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@SammyDaGawd]

Thank you!!🙏🏾✨

[@odeliatrenier4762]

Your hair is your crowning glory. That’s what my grandmother told me, she was born in 1909.

This was such a helpful video. You explain everything so well and its easy to follow. Plus! I could feel your energy and authenticity through the screen. Subscribed 👏🏾💕

Thank you so much! and welcome to my channel😆🤲🏽

[@lilhomieliyah3843]

yoir locs are so pretty

[@sleepynatali4675]

Thank you for this I’m tryna decide the size I think I just want them to look full

[@fatashvlogs6789]

Your locs are beautifulllllll 😍 Thank you so much I’m starting my 4 set soon I also have different textures of hair and I think I’ll go with mini twists this time for that reason 😌💛 I have 30 freeform locs locs 😳😬 then 70 was ok those came from back combed twist out sections...then braid locs and I really loved this but they were soooo small bc my hair is very fine and even the ticker parts are still “thin” 😭 I have curly silky fine hair and fuzzy fine tight coils 🤷🏽‍♀️ I swear the sides of my hair don’t have a curl pattern 😂

[@SammyDaGawd]

Whooaaa shouts to the patience of going through multiple versions of this journey😧. Hopefully this 4th comes out the way u want since u know for sure what u don’t want✨

[@tracywalker7443]

Beautiful locs!! Those are size I want

This video is really helpful, I have 3 different textures on my head, and hadn't thought about strategic locking! THANK YOU! I am hoping to start locking my hair during this lockdown, any tips welcome

[@SammyDaGawd]

You’re welcome! Glad to help🙌🏽

[@patriciamoss4518]

Thank you 😊

[@ColaChelsey]

LMAO u & Onyx too funny

[@esthermora4142]

Just what I am going through with my curly afro hair, It Just takes so much time and so much money, and sometimes after a lot of work it does not come out the way you want it. Also I always braid my hair or twist it, I guess I am Just concern about how I will look, but looking at you it will look nice, I Just have my face like you lol and also I love locs, even though my family is saying they do Not like it, that looks nasty and all of that.

[@SammyDaGawd]

Tell your family to kick rocks and do what feels good to you!

[@vanessam.2553]

You may have made a video already but did you do a brick layer pattern when you did your starter locs or did you just use your fingers to part and not think about it?

[@SammyDaGawd]

Basically both, I parted with my nails following the bricklayer pattern. In my fro days finger detangling was my go to so I've kept that same energy with my locs✨

[@CinemaDoll137]

Did you deal with any pushback from family when you started your locs? I'm also Jamaican and my family looks down on them. I just started my microlocs so, my hair still looks "acceptable" to them since they're twists. But, they don't know I'm letting it loc.

[@Glowdreski]

Your locs cool ash

[@chynasdollhouse7326]

Did you paint that painting ?

You need a spray bottle full of water for Onyx lil bad azz. Spray him with it and he'll sit down somewhere. My Lola know ion play det😂

[@SammyDaGawd]

Facts he knows about that spray bottle🤣now all I have to do is shake it at him and he’s out🏃🏽

[@rainlotts2791]

Hi hun, both you and your locks are stunning...also I love your ring...ouch! I am two months in, please follow my journey x

[@SammyDaGawd]

Thank you doll💕Happy 2 months!

[@shaunlewinson6470]

Are you Jamaican?

[@NinjaskKing]

So my hair is 11 inches long so I’m wondering will the locks start off really short at that length?

[@SammyDaGawd]

They don't start off short they shrink slightly with time. As they mature the weight will let them fall so the length will show.

[@NinjaskKing]

SammyDaGawd thanks. Nobody has been able to give me a clear answer on that. But my hair is naturally thick so would that play a role in shrinkage over time?

[@SammyDaGawd]

Ninjask King yea, but the shrinkage is a temporary inconvenience⏳

[@NinjaskKing]

SammyDaGawd I decided to wait a bit longer though some have told me it’s better to start them off with short hair

[@bonitahaitian_2939]

what size are your locs ?

[@SammyDaGawd]

I show it in the video✨
