MADE IT TO 7 MONTHS!! | I cut one of my locs :( + loc close up

[@bethanycamille5379]

I’m lowkey glad I started my loc journey at the beginning of quarantine and went through most of my awkward phase indoors and out of the public eye lol now that I’m almost 2 years in, my confidence has gotten a lot better. I’m not the type to do retwists often, so I let my roots be frizzy. Even at work. Not gonna lie, the frizz is a big hurdle to embrace for me but I’m sticking with it. I know that it’ll be all worth it in the end, when my locs are swinging down my back lol

[@crystaledgerton2390]

Yes! I wish I started my locs during quarantine! That's such a great idea! But I just started mine 2 days ago

[@shalenah]

i'm almost 14 months in and i've worn my locs down since the beginning, i've just always felt so free with it. however for me what was more challenging was becoming comfortable with rocking my locs un-retwisted. it was harder in the 6-9 month stages for me but now i honestly love my hair unretwisted (it usually is since i wash every other week usually) and i'm really excited for the summer and going to the beach without a care. what also has been challenging was waiting for my locs to grow out in some places lol. i was defintely rocking an assymetrical bob for months 10-12 bc the front/sides of my hair grow so fast hahah but what's great is growing in love, beauty, and confidence with every phase

[@DESZREN]

Thank you so much for sharing this!! I think sometimes I get caught up in feeling alone when it comes to being at certain stages of this loc journey. With my last set I definitely wore my hair as is much more often so it feels good to get back into that and really just appreciate whatever my locs want to do! I definitely have uneven locs which bothered me way more before than now, thankfully! But I know for sure once my hair gets to a certain length I'm giving myself an even cut 😭

[@kiy3091]

Just made my 7 months March 2nd!! Im so happy with them and even more excited for my future loc journey. these periods of growth and transformation have really allowed me to appreciate my hair in its absolute natural state. I also have just one unique loc in the back thats longer than the others 🤣i made sure to decorate it so it stands out lol you're locs look beautiful, Des 🥰💖

[@courtuwu]

i’m 5 months in. i started my locs on november 1st and it’s been a roller coaster but more positive than negative. sometimes i don’t feel confident enough with my locs.. but it’s a mindset more so than a physical thing😭ur locs are so beautiful

[@jocilynwatkins1027]

July will be 2 years loc. I've never had a style or had my locs professionally done bc my head (scalp) is so tender. I learned parting, retwist, ect from watching your videos. When I was a loose natural I always wore ponytails so tight it caused damage pulled the sides of my edges. I started locs to always wear my hair down freely..... I thank God for this transition it's save me so much money and I got my edges back. I get people always saying my locs are beautiful. It took a minute for m to feel beautiful but when they started forming and growing I started to Glo up.....🤗

[@meojyk]

Love u girl. I've been watching since the first set and you've come a hella long way. I love this set (my opinion). I just love your spirit and I'm glad you make these videos. I share them with ppl who are starting their journey to get a REAL idea/look at the journey from every angle/way to start. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Melthestylistt]

It literally took 6 months, combining some locs, and tightening up all that dang frizz to have me comfortable with Wearing it down without a style

[@passionatelydriven8211]

YAAYYy! I'm so happy for you and your locs:) They look strong and healthy; such inspo for my baby locs at 3.5 months! Thank you for sharing your journey with us:)

[@shanteelbelieve987]

Love your journey. We started a month or two apart. My nape area is longer than my any other area and it’s been that way relaxed and natural.. hopefully my locs fall and even out years to come.

[@loxstar81]

I'll be 2 months loc'd on the 24th of April. You are very inspiring and your locs are 🔥

[@Iamcarolgraham]

Lol I have that one side loc that is longer than the other locs too I am at that place just letting them go and be

can you link where you got your loc scarf from please

[@michaelako3755]

I started on 25 September so approaching 6 months now. I still have some (about 3 locs) that are just a coil that can unravel but the others are quite stiff and seems like locs to me. I was thinking to combine the ones that aren’t locked but trying to be patient lol

[@myriamdhaiti2935]

I really love your hair. 💌

[@tiaw3423]

can you do a vid about clip placement during retwists? i be struggling 😅

Yes!!! I will focus on that for my next retwist!

[@goldeneyebby7477]

When u say u steamed ur hair it's the same as if I wasn't dreaded? I wanna steam my dreads but I'm kinda confused cuz some ppl say don't steam em cuz it will dry out,,my hair a lil pass my shoulders now but they not as soft as before the length,. but just curious on the steam part.. love ur locs tho🥰 wish I woulda started mine kinda thick🖤🌟

[@chaistabotshare2162]

can you answer. Plzz...i started my locs with 3 strand twist 4 days ago ...will it loc??

[@lorimiller4220]

It will loc just be patient. It can take 6months to a year to loc. it took my hair about 5-6 months

[@DESZREN]

Of course they will loc! Truthfully anyones hair can loc up. As long as you're not combing your hair, it will loc :) If you have a looser texture it can take a bit longer compared to a tight coily texture

[@Aisha-mv4bd]

Not loc related but girl… we need that SKIN ROUTINE DAMN

[@Iamcarolgraham]

Yes thank you beautiful for this video

[@aubreyplazasuncle]

and then theres me at 17 months not comfortable with wearing it down. i like how it looks but i live in such a white area 😭😭

[@sonte.theFoodie]

Don't let others affect your confidence. If your happy with yourself, then that's it. No one else's opinion matters. Go rock your locs in confidence and peace. Your not everyone, your yourself, and no one else is gonna live your life, so live it the way you want. 😁👍🏾
