[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Part 2 to this video is now available: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mISwl32BbqmBidU

[@skilletstaypiffed8485]

Patty Phattty I started my baby locs February 1 2017 my stylest told me not to wet my hair for two months. is that OK?

[@letitiamcghee2941]

Jordan Moore + My daughter and I started our locs on 1-20-17 and The person that comb coiled our hair told me the same thing.

[@skilletstaypiffed8485]

Letitia Mcghee OK thank you

[@peacefulrain86]

"I wanted my hair to not be a burden." Thats exactly how i feel. I just want a nice, natural style that i identify with. Your locs and you are beautiful!

[@lenitac3259]

That's the reason I want locs because I'm tired of having to worry about combing my hair

[@nikivzaz]

i had an afro for 12 years but been in love with Locs for 6 years and it took me 6 YEARS to finally do it and its been the BEST decision of my life only been locked for 4 months its been an amazing journey

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+nikivzaz congrats on your 4 months 😬😬 that's exciting! Stay strong ❤️❤️

[@tatianamcgaughy883]

Thank you for this video!! I got my starter locs done today via the 2 strand method and diamond parting system. I am excited but was not expecting my twists to be so "boney"! lol I'm looking forward to the journey. everyone thinks I'm crazy for locking my hair. one girlfriend asked how long will you keep them in, another said but I love your natural hair. my mother said you're not going to mess your hair up are you? lol my husband is very supportive so that's good. I found it difficult finding others who have the same texture as I do who have locked without freeforming. my texture is 3b/3c and like you I used to do all types of styles, perms, braids, weaves, etc. I've worn m hair natural for about 7 years but today 2/22/17 I start my loc journey! thank you for sharing that you also had some negative feedback. your locs are beautiful, as they are a reflection of you!

[@tannehmckown2925]

I had a similar start to mine I Always loved Locs and how they looked. I've had a relaxer from small so I didn't fully remember my hair on its natural state. All I remembered was the pain because it was so thick. So I finally just decided to grow out my relaxer which I did for almost 3 years . When it came time to really get down with the get down and find a hairstylist I ended finding a Loctician in my area who is Amazing!! But you know going to the salon all the time or every month or 2 adds up. Now all I need to do is really take charge of my own hair like I used to. I'm loving everything about this journey it's great 👍🏾 in August it will be 2 years for me. My only regret is I should've done this sooner ❤❤

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+T. Mama Africa awesome! And I totally agree you. & definitely I wish I started a lot sooner too! Congrats on your almost 2 years 😘😘😘

[@MakaykayLAMB]

When you said "I wanted to be free. I wanted my hair to not feel like a burden" I have never felt such a sigh of relief in my ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE. That was it. That's exactly what I'm feeling. 100%.

[@RobinNatural1]

I'm in month three and it's rough some days but watching your videos has helped me to stay encouraged. I love locs and I truly want to see my journey be successful. Thank you for the encouragement!

[@itssecurityyall]

My mom said that my hair was to course for dreads.....After I finished laughing, I told her my hair was perfect for dreads.

[@callieduval3000]

And you probably got that hair texture from her

[@itssecurityyall]

@@callieduval3000 A mix of her's and my dad's hair. Her hair was always soft, my dad's hair on the other hand was course.

[@912deborah]

Now we must talk about your skin care. Your skin is everything! It’s super glowing!

[@shopsweeteas5778]

I started my locs on 7/8 with a two strand twists, then i had a situation that i walked away from and decided to undue the twists, they had started to loc, I washed my hair sort of like an emotional detox and then i decided on a comb coil. I love them I started them today. I the comb coils are beautiful and the back is a little difficult but I love them. I also decided that I was tired of spending money on my hair and i needed carefree and easy.

[@lovelynette9633]

Yessss!!! You were made for this!!! I can so relate to the relationship you build when you maintain your own locs from the very beginning only to watch them bud & sprout like a caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly🌱 the bond is truely remarkable & the journey is completely amazing! Thanks for sharing Queen!👑

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Lovely Nette yes! It's such a beautiful experience watching them grow.. I could agree with you more.. you're welcome!, thank you for watching love ❤️❤️❤️

[@DesireeMarie]

[@ashlicobb7725]

[@ramonaferrell9373]

OMG! your mom sounded like my mom when I told her I wanted to loc my hair! she said I'm going to be a 'dutty dread' smh

[@luhanzhang9551]

Girl I was stressedtt about my locs being different sizes I was about to start over thank you for giving me hope lol

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Luhan Zhang Don't panic 😬😬😬 your welcome hun! Glad you didn't start over, all your locs will slightly by different, but that's what make you unique. It's very normal 😊

[@RoyaltyInTheBlood]

Oh my goodness everything you said about why you wanted your locs you have now!! Yes yes yes!! 🙌🙌🙌 That's exactly how I feel! But I'm just not wanting to deal with the starter stage lol but I know going through this I will definitely gain more patience bc I really want my locs. Been thinking and researching on it for a few years. Thanks for your video! You have a new subscriber now lol!

[@millazdee]

Thank you!!!!!! I'm still on the watching video part of the journey.

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Emi 〈3 aww, well congrats on your new journey 😀

[@delgriafoust9308]

Hi Lady your locs are so beautiful I'm starting over again its OK because I am determine to have locs I love the way they look, I no longer hate my thick kinky hair I love it, I've gotten a lot of history about black hair its sad but true that we were made to feel bad about our kinky hair and people with straight hair have good hair, I look at it like this now ( I got hair like JESUS now you can't get any better than that).... Lol ; )

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Delgria Foust thank you Queen! And yess! Embrace the thickness and I'm glad more and more black women are embracing their natural hair and texture. 😘😘❤️

[@912deborah]

Your story similar to mine. I relaxed at 12 and went natural at 19. In 2012 I went to get a consultation for sister locks but too expensive and I was in college. It’s 2018 and I’m ready. I’m so happy to follow you!

[@mazznaturals]

Hey Beautiful a great journey 🤣 you had some cute hairstyles along the way I wasn't that creative In the early stages of my loc journey. Well done loved watching. My mum was exactly the same. God rest her soul she didn't even realise I had started locs she just thought they were extension plaits. Stay blessed my love 😘❤❤❤❤🙏🏾 xx 👌🏾🙋🏾

[@indigenoustruthx4828]

Crazy, my appointment to start my locs is January 2nd. This is my second set, but crazy. I like ur channel. I wanted the fan part, and I look at your locs to get some insight. I know every head is different, but it helps.

[@lolaoyinloye268]

[@taliayahdabratz5110]

That's my birthday too🤗

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

Ayeee ❤️

[@mimik1028]

January 2nd is my birthday too..x

[@camillehawkins7100]

I'm scared to do my own hair until it is 100% loc'd. idk and I'm lazy the guy who does it is AMAZING. He'll sage my head and all the extras lol

[@newchapterwithpeeks655]

So inspirational! Lol that's exactly what my mom said in her Jamaican accent lol

[@bleachgirl19carte91]

Love your hair I just got mine yesterday she said they are medium-sized. I think I have 51 locs I'm kinda nervous I don't want them to be super large and thick, people say the numbers matter so I'm not sure

[@camille4491]

Your loc story sounds soo similar to mine. My goal was to have a low maintenance style and to save time and money. Also I'm so terrified of other people doing my hair. lol

[@locempress8678]

Very nice video. Especially love the part of what mummy said 😂😂😃😃😃ha ha!

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Loc Empress 😂😂😂 thank you Queen. Luckily mummy loves my locs now 😍

[@shatings5605]

I am me and you are you but I can relate to you so much with your journey growing up and what you leaned toward. I don't have locks but I'm about to do them in a couple months for the almost the same reasons you did I am just over it with everything else I think I've been over it for a long time and I was just a little bit scared to commit

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

I definitely feel you! Just make sure you are ready to commit, no need to be scared. If it is what you truly want, go for it 😊♥️ all will be okay

[@chastidyridley]

I needed this video! we are maybe loc twins! thank you for this advice i love it and your locs!

[@DiaryOfaManeAddict]

Looooove your channel! Thank you for sharing and you're beautiful!

[@apagebypagelife8624]

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+A Page by Page Life awesome!!! Twinsiessss 😬😬❤️❤️

[@adam143able]

I'm on month 4 now. N I do my own hair too. Mine are micro locs. I just used my fingers with wax to coil them every other week. Wish me luck

[@lorenzo6899]

Hey this vid was informative thank you. I feel lost with my loc journey 7 months locked all my stylist sessions failed. Either they have an emergency which is understandable, or they canceling apps, or they pulling my hair too tight omg can't catch a break. I want to take care of my own hair, but afraid i i mess up the parts .

[@sofyrelocs2691]

Thanks for sharing your story... lol, I know all to well what you mean...

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Sofyre Saffore not a problem ❤️❤️❤️

[@kingfrancois1708]

Thanks for sharing, who do you go to since I'm in Florida and i want locs but don't know who to go to yet. I Remember from watching one of your video you said you're in floridas as well

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

No problem! 😊 i do my hair myself, so I don’t personally go to the salon.

[@artixtictv]

That sound like me mom lol but she still support me journey I'm going to start on the 29th of this month I can't wait

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Artavis Ward haha.. so exciting! I'm happy for youuu

[@artixtictv]

Patty Phattty thank you very much

[@valarmorghulis4801]

Your locs are pretty

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Valar Morghulis thank you ❤️❤️

[@creamekay]

I hate doing my hair lol and when other people do it it hurts but that is cause I'm tender headed lol

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Karima Altidor I'm tender headed too, I know how you feel hahah 😬 but I enjoy doing my hair most times, rather me than anyone rlse

[@octoberskye8099]

08:58 😂😂😂😂 . that should be a vine or a meme.

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

octoberskye 😂😂😂 I replayed it like 5 times when I saw your comment

[@TheEngineeringDiva]

It's funny how similar our stories are!!! Loc'd since 9/13

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Caramelcoilz glad you can relate hehe!! Niceee ❤️❤️ peace & blessings

[@Marteen40]

First off I really enjoy this womans video. ok in general why is it that people who prefer straight hair can be unapologetic about their preferences but if you prefer curly hair you have to put a disclaimer "not that one is better than the other" or "im not picking sides"? I prefer curly but I never add a disclaimer thats why it stick out to me. Someone enlighten me.

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+LailahAngel Jah it's definitely the negative connotations that comes with being natural/ having curly hair... it's sad but ppl tend to attack others for their preferences

[@Marteen40]

Patty Phattty huh?

[@ThePrettygrlrock]

This was helpful to me

[@kieyonnaosbey1514]

100% relatable

[@janitajones]

How long did you wait before dying your hair? How often do you wash you hair/re twist

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Janita Jones I actually bleached my hair within 5 months of having my locs, not advised to do that but I only did about 3 locs in the front.. I wash every 2 weeks or so and retwist every month, but sometimes I wait longer than a month.

[@janitajones]

What are good product to use for your locs?

[@lindelwah]

thank you for this beautiful post

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Tanya Dhlamini you're welcome Queen! 💜

[@locdbyk_luxuryhaircare6780]

What do you do about dandruff? I attempted to loc my son's hair, but the dandruff was ridiculous.

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

drops of rosemary and tea tree oil mixed with rose water is great for dandruff

[@octoberskye8099]

I went to a Loctician who didn't do a thorough enough consultation. I have low-density, soft to the touch (but looks course), type 4 hair. my hair is on thinner side yet I desire full, luscious,plump (medium) locs. How should my starter locs be in order to achieve the best illusion? (b/c I can't change genetics). also I plan to semi-freeform to help with strengthening my fragile roots.

[@locempress8678]

octoberskye hi I have fine low density hair. I recommend checking out these three Queens with similar hair. Dxlyn locs, curly nugrowth, and salt and light. They all three have fine hair and have amazing tips. Also......I am eleven months in the game with a few videos myself if interested. ❤️❤️

[@octoberskye8099]

Thanks for the advice. I'm subcribed to all 3. I especially love DLXN's locs. I just want the best shape and size parts to start, but I know my hair will not look exactly like others and I'm okay with that.

[@octoberskye8099]

Loc Empress I will definitely check out your channel.btw, were you a member of Nappturality with same name?

[@locempress8678]

Octoberskye no Queen I was not a member. Someone and I meditated on the same name I guess. Glad you found my suggestions useful. Be blessed❤️

[@shawniquealexander6504]

How long did you wait to dye your hair

[@LMiraculous]

I had my comb coil twist I'm getting them retwisted march 4th any advice?

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+L Thompson awesome! Just be sure not to retwist too often and keep your hair scalp and hair from being dry

[@LMiraculous]

Patty Phattty I know after this retwist I won't get them done again until April 8th or the 17th I just want them to bud and lock already lol

[@kalihughes777]

Did you say the lady did the coils and fan method?

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Kali Hughes yes, my locs are in the Fan Parting System and we're started by doing comb coils

[@ebychuma]

you are welcome beautiful sis..

[@KJ-si5tb]

What Type Of Parting System Do U Have? I Couldn't Understand What U Said In The Video

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Killa Jr. what exactly did you not understand. I have freestyle/ fan shaped Parting. My locs were parted in different shapes

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]

+Killa Jr. ***sizes

[@KJ-si5tb]

I Just Tried to See what Parting System do u have... I Doing My research On Locs While Im Growing Out My Hair So Im Still deciding On What Type Of Locs And What Parting System I Want... Thanks For Replying!!!

[@BeSpiffyBeYou]
