Hair and Spirituality | Why I Started My Locs + 2 Week Update 3c/4a Hair

[@theyanarose8379]

I just started my locs on Monday my best friend passed away in a car crash by a drunk driver. To me my locs growing is like his growth ❤️✨ he was 18 & it was his last year of high school. Its crazy because when i posted on snapchat my starter locs for the 1st time he died not to long later & I wanted him to see them because he was always the 1st person to watch my story. This loc journey is very special to me. His birthday is tomorrow he would have been 19 years old💔 #restinpowercaleb #calebshammehfant

[@xXChibiTaokakaXx]

I think what's drawing me into wanting locs is that I'm having a transition into a new stage of my life again. Big chopped when I graduated highschool, and was on a natural hair journey throughout college. I recently finally graduated and now I feel like it's time for me to exchange THAT stress I had all those years with my loose hair for something new.

[@sasha-gaysherwood1345]

[@Luxurious.shayyy]

Yes I’m finally graduating and I had my first child and can’t deal with my natural loose hair no more

[@SheisOshun]

[@kyrie6630]

I grew up in the religion of being Rastafarian and the spiritual aspect you speak on is so true. I’ve had locs all my life. My first set was free form and I cut them in when I was 13. I felt all the pain and sorrow I carried for years finally released and I have started and have had my new set for 11 years now. I absolutely love them and feel like a Queen.

[@appetite4chic878]

When I think of black hair, it immediately reminds me of Mother Nature. Just think about it, what do we call an Afro? A bush! Mother Nature has to be a black woman lol I’m super proud of your decision to go natural! Looking forward to seeing your loc journey 🙌🏾🥰

[@harmony2027]

Yesss

[@Halllie]

A picked out afro was a whole revolutionary movement back in the day and actually still is

[@WestIndieRay]

Fashionista mvp it is and I love that too. I was a loose natural for almost my whole life ❤️ much love to the loose naturals.

[@mrsrae83]

Needed to see this video just started my locs two days ago and I already feel more confident and at peace. My husband also can not keep his hands off of me. It's definitely a power. The tech also burned sage to clear the energy so that positive energy was manifested in the locs as they start to grow. Enjoy the journey

Woww 😍 which state is your tech?

I've had my locs for nearly 3 years and recently I've been feeling like I want to comb them out and return to my natural curls.Your video and your explanations for your journey really helped remind me of why I started mine in the first place- to displace societal ideas of what I and my hair are "supposed" to look like and to embrace fully and truly what it means to be natural to me. I wish you all the best on this jounrney. Be prepared to face a BARAGE of comments and opinions on you and your hair, ESPECIALLY during the budding phase. Keep reminding yourself of your intentions and manifestations and I cannot wait to see how your locs develop! Much love from Trinidad and Tobago.

[@LifeWithJessieLee333]

Same ! Im on my 2nd loc journey and sometimes we just need a reminder/refresher to keep us in check and aligned!

[@PharaohsBloom]

I’m super excited for your loc journey. I started mine because I was tired of the maintenance of styling my natural hair and the pressure from the world. Being that I am a spiritual person, of course I fell into a spiritual loc journey and so far it has been amazing. Learning the history of locs and learning to love and appreciate each stage has made me stronger and more wise. Great video love 🦄🦄

[@mishm.3893]

Wonderful reasons to Loc. I'm almost 4 years Loc'd. Started in my 40's and love every Loc on my head.

2 years later and i found your channel. the way you speak my spirit feels. i’ve been hesitant on starting my locs for MONTHS. i started a single loc in the back. after watching a few vids on your channel, I AM STARTING MY JOURNEY. im extremely excited and can’t wait to be the person i’ve felt my spirit asking me to be.

[@girl_interrupted6959]

Your spirit is beautiful 💜I started my locs 3 weeks ago... so happy I came across your channel. Very motivational. 🙌🏽🙏🏽

[@HerrComplexx]

I love this, my hair is powerful af... thats why hair plays such a role in insecurities and it takes care.. im on my spiritual journey and God told me to loc it in..best decision ever.. im vlogging all my experience. I was muslim as a child and loved covering my hair.. head wraps is something I wanna get into now especially cause my dreads are in the starter phase..as my DNA upgrades.. im realizing my hair is my antenna into the spiritual world..so happy you spoke on them wanting to equal the playing fields... you are so enlightened sis congrats on your journey

[@Nigerianherbs]

I've been debating having locs for so long. I always did faux locs and loved them but this video has shifted my reality and its opened my eyes to know that regardless of how my hair is I will accept and love myself. so thank you so much.

[@MzGuddy2Shoez]

I love your soul. Your soul is glowing! Gold, orange, turquoise, red....I feel all these colors on you . I love it!

[@courtneyglasgow9970]

I feel the same way with my locs, i'm guyanese and most of my relatives on my dad side have locs and i've grown to love my locs. I've had my locs since 09/13/2019

[@Yolandaareynolds]

When you said if we leave our hair alone it would loc up naturally and that your tired of detangling and forcing it to be somthing it’s not that touched my soul ✨ I want to get locs because I wanna learn to love my natural state and I feel like it’s beautiful what our hair can do. I wanna look in the mirror and see more than just a style. your videos have Deff helped me make my decision!! Thank you 🦋

[@SuthernHippie]

This was right on time. I started my locs last year, it’ll be an official yet in Dec. These past few months I keep wanting to cover my hair. I’ve been going through a very mentally and emotionally draining rough time. And when I thought of covering my hair, it gave me a sense of comfort.

[@ButterfliShy]

You literally explain every reason why I decided to start my loc journey spirituality I knew it was something I needed to do

[@Simply_Dandie]

I wish i could just sit down and talk you on a spiritual level for hours, we will never meet but your energy and presence is pure and hope u enjoy ur journey

[@sinceresong9907]

I took out my first set of locks....I see that as a spiritual attack now. I can't described how I felt after...literally like I had cut out a piece of my soul. I learnt a direct valuable lesson about just how powerful my locks are to me. Im now into a second set of locks .I feel more appreciative of the process... the purpose and the most beautiful in my life ... strong.

[@nikkhalia]

This is the prettiest makeup look I’ve seen on you! Idk what it is. Maybe it’s because you’re wearing white? It’s so clean and fresh and bright and light lol

[@JourneyToJustice-withT]

I understand & every word you speak resonates with my spirit. Sounds like you’ve had a beautiful spiritual awakening and enlightenment about life itself. I started my locs 1 week ago with two strand twist ad very excited. I wish you the best on your journey. 😘

I have not even thought about half the things you did during your journey as far as manifesting while growing it. I personally know I am being guided in the direction of locs which I’ve decided to do in April 2022 when my twa grows a bit more and I am very big on manifesting… and to set intentions during the growing stages by using oils and scripting is just wowwww. You honestly don’t know what you’ve done for me just now. Gratitude!!

[@MerylsWay]

I too starter my locs all over again for like the third time.(on October 19th) I never feel whole when I’m naturally loose. So once again I’m on this journey to reclaim myself. Thanks for this sit down chitchat because it reconfirmed my decision is the right one. You have a new lasting subbie.

I just want you to know that your locs inspire me! I plan on locing up soon and I’m binging your videos for tips 😂🫶🏽

[@goddessaset9610]

I’ve been wanting to start my loc journey since I was in my 20’s but never plucked up the courage until now in my 40’s. It’s definitely a spiritual journey for me and I understand now why I didn’t do it sooner. I did so much research and was overwhelmed by the prices people would charge and then I came across your videos and then realised I can do this myself, develop a relationship with my hair and save a ton of money! I’m building up my confidence for when I’ll be needing to retwist but I’m enjoying the journey. Thank you for your videos they’re a great help!

[@WhitneyJonesMusic]

Thank you for sharing your perspective. My loc journey has begun (in my Spirit), although I haven’t started then yet because I’m still researching. However, I KNOW this is what I need to do. I appreciate your candidness on the natural hair “standards” of what is beauty...aka...BIG HAIR! I was like, “yesss! I felt the same way.” I’m a performing artist and I often wear my hair BIG on stage because that’s deemed more...well...beautiful. Nothing wrong with big or small hair though. I felt you on that! Anyways, thanks for the information. This video encouraged me to get my locs started in the physical! 😎

[@stardevilbunny1187]

I love this! I started my locs over the summer at first for the fact that I wouldn't need to do it as often when they are loc'd and I can focus more on me. As I did more research I found the spiritual aspect of it and once I did them myself I just loved my locs After only just a little bit shy of 5 months I still love them but I'm going through a lot of changes and have felt the need to just cut my hair and start over. My mother and I decided to go together to cut our hair for the new year. Or at least just before. Anyways congrats and I know it'll be great. 😊

[@brownsuga929]

I watched a video of yours couple weeks ago and said, she should loc her hair... and here you are so spiritually conscious! I love it, I'm 4 months loc'd so this is so awesome to see Brothas and Sistas who have mature locs guide those on their journey!! Love this!!!❤🖤💚🤲🏾

Coming back to your channel to see when you washed your hair after starting your journey. I'm 1.5 weeks in and there is a style in it but I feel I'm going to need to wash it asap!!! Starting to get itchiness. Oan: I feel you on your statement about not combing your hair because I literally would only detangle my hair about 2x a month before I started my journey. I been wanting locs for the longest and I am so excited about my journey. Started with two strand twist.

[@fayestaunton3679]

@@dinas1825 there's nothing wrong with calling it dreadlocks tho it have a video on the origin of the word right here on KZbin go look it up.

[@Lifesmelons]

There is nothing negative about callings locs, dreads. Be sure to be informed on your history!

[@Lifesmelons]

@@dinas1825 No but that is the point. The Mau Mau tribe of Africa (where 'dreads' come from) decided to leave their hair alone and allow it to do its natural process, which is forming a crown on the head, to rebel against the British troops who threatened their way and life and wanted them to conform. They were warriors..rebellious spirits. Whenever colonizers saw these beings with knotted and unkempt hair, they DREADED their arrival because they represented everything the colonizers did not support or innerstand. They dreaded their powers. To have dreads is an honor. Pree..THEY dread US, WE are not dreadful.

[@HillTopRooted]

I’m so glad I just stumbled across one of your videos. I’ve been struggling with the decision to loc or not to loc. I’ve always been drawn to it but didn’t like the finality of it. My Daddy passed away 3 years ago. I am just emerging from the cocoon I’ve been encased in. Listening to what you said in this video was like a light bulb for me. I need to make a decision. The time is now. Having the back door to exit and unravel my hair and straighten it, if I chose, having the option is what I thought I was holding on to. Yet, in over 10 years, I’ve straightened my hair twice. It’s not even something I aspire to do. 🤣 There is a reason I’m being pulled in this direction. I will never be who I was prior to my Daddy getting ill and passing. This is just one beginning to who I am to Be! Thank you so very much for sharing. Yet again, confirmation that I am on the correct path and I am better than ok! 💜. It is a Spiritual Journey.

[@jaylee9931]

You're making some healthy observations, most poignant to me is about us trying so hard to level the field - when in fact we were already superior, yet manipulation, through social standards and acceptance, tricks us into sacrificing what makes us special.. I've known it for a while i just couldnt put words to it as well as you did 👌
