Update??

[@jenniferjohnson194]

I’ve been a loose natural for 11 hrs and have always wanted to loc my hair but too scared. Well I’m getting the courage now! It helps to see ppl whose hair look similar to my own so THANK YOU!! I will be watching your entire journey!

[@DH-uw3us]

I'm in the same boat. Did you do it yet?

[@KnottyZah]

You probably want to keep from putting moisturizers that you would put in loose hair because that can cause build up.. Oils are really all you need well from my personal experience waxes and gels cause build up in the long run. And water helps your hair lock because when your hair dries the hair compacts. But that looks like budding to me!

[@KnottyZah]

+Natazah Ahyathan And wash your hair either how you did before or whenever you feel it NEEDS it.. It wont hurt if you wash just be careful with the shampoos because they can strip the moisturizer out of your hair!! Glad you enjoying your journey they look nice! Look like they gone be thick too. And you can checkout videos on how to wash starter locks I remember seeing a video this sister washed hers through a wig cap so the coils wouldn't unravel I didnt try myself but maybe that could help

[@NaturalNirvana]

+Natazah Ahyathan Thank you so much for all the useful information! I agree, and have ditched all the products! I will making another video of all my recent changes:) I truly appreciate all the loc wisdom and encouragement!

[@serenity6797]

Started my locs yesterday. I’m excited to see how they grow.

[@NaturalNirvana]

Congratulations!!!😃

[@ilovecarlitoganja206]

It’s Muah keep it up. Them locs are going to grow in amazing

[@lissy2633]

Did you trim your hair prior to starting your locs?

[@serenity6797]

@@lissy2633 I did. I cut my hair to get it all even but it still turned out that the back of my hair is longer than the front lol.

[@breezeloveable]

hey girlie. your locs are soooo beautiful. i put water and a little bit of lemon or lime juice in a spritzer bottle and spritz my locs like once a day. Locs love water so you cant have enough. This helps the way the locs are going to lay and lemon and lime juice help enhance your color if you go out into the sun. Thats what i read. Its definitely a spiritual journey and you have to experiment. In the process you WILL learn more about yourself and your hair as well. Ive been locked for 9 months. Good luck :)

[@NaturalNirvana]

+Semora Carter Thank you so much! I appreciate you sharing! Does the lemon and lime juice dry your hair out? I agree, it definitely is a spiritual journey. I'm truly enjoying it and loving the growth!

[@breezeloveable]

I mean it cleans the hair. It can dry the hair out because its highly acidic. With everything, use in moderation. :)

[@sparkleterry61]

My hair began to bud after I started wetting it. Love the videos. Thx sis

[@queenladybug1735]

I'm so glad I found your channel, feeling more confident in my journey already. I just got coils this past weekend and I was told not to wash my hair for six months or get it wet because the coils will unravel. I thought the same as you; it's such a blessing to get confirmation as my locs progress. Thank you for the great info!

[@dani_allora]

Girl u can't even see that gray hair lol. I love your baby locs! I just started mine with two strand twists a week and a half a go and the shrinkage is real!

Hello, I'm one of the many men who have watched your videos. I came to your channel through the 10 tips for healthy locs video. I got my starter locs last week to begin my own loc journey. I just wanted to say I enjoy the tips in your videos and also enjoy your sunny positive outlook in your videos! My locs are a little bit shorter than when you started so I'll probably be at where you are in this video in maybe 6 months or less. I look forward to it and thanks for the videos!

[@NaturalNirvana]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Congratulations on your new journey!

Aww, thank you! Congratulations on the start of your new journey! I'm sure yours will be great!:)

[@kionnaalexis]

I just got starter locs and, after watching your videos, I now want to take them down and start over!! The girl who twisted my hair gave me NO particular part pattern, just random parts and I LOVE how you have that deep side part.

[@rodneycolejr.4989]

if you have the ability/time you should twist your own. thats what i did and it gave me exactly what i want. i wanted a natural pattern cause i hate the box look. you can always section your hair and then twist with a natural pattern in those sections. that'll make it like hers where you can part it but theres not a bunch of boxes in your head, unless you like that look. i did mine with no experience doing hair and only a bit with cutting mens hairs. i waited 3 weeks after when i needed a retwist to go to a salon for advice/to fix my mistakes. i was told my hair was done well and she even questioned how i did them so neat for not being able to see very much. so she simply charged me for a retwist where she basically just cleaned up my roots.

[@kionnaalexis]

I wish I'd done that. I took mine down & cant for the life of me do it myself. Now that I look at my pictures, I could have definitely just added a side part & been okay. :/

[@rodneycolejr.4989]

it happen i almost took mine down because of things i noticed after starting . im goin to make a video soon about mine and what i wish i would have known about parting creativity when starting locs.

I loved when my hair was just getting started. I think I still had a relaxed State of Mind because I liked how smooth my hair was and how it just laid down. I'm in a totally different stage now... LOL my head is thick, going every way and the length is very awkward to me because it's halfway up halfway down. I'm going to hang in there but locks are a lot more maintenance than what I ever expected.

[@sonyajennings2047]

So I just started my lock journey on yesterday starting at 7:30 so it'll be 24 hours tonight 7:30 She did The coil twist method on my hair because of the grade of it she said it would do better She explained everything to me and she was well versed in what I should do She told me I shouldn't get it wet for the first month she added all natural oils to my hair that she makes and it smells so good I put mine up in two barrels so I wouldn't disturb it so I go back for my retwist on the 26th of this month and I will let y'all know what happens then

[@VauneC]

I love your personality ! I just started watching your videos I know you are like 7 months loc'd now. I haven't watched all your videos yet to see what you're currently using in your hair ( I will within the next few days). One thing I wanted to mention , I'll be loc'd 3 years the end of August (yay I'm excited lol ), Damian Walters started my locs and than after about 6 months in ,I started maintaining them myself. A few months ago I started watching locs by yannie (she is great if you haven't watched her yet), very simple ... She recommends using half rose water and vitamin E oil to hydrate your hair... And I must say it works great. My hair use to feel a little dry to me and now it's soft, and moisturized,you can use as often as u like, it doesn't create any build up. I just wanted to shared that with you. Check out her page and website if u get a chance. She's very knowledgeable Good luck on your journey. Keep posting your videos. Peace and a Blessings.

Do you locks ever itch...like what do u do when they itch in the beginning I do coconut oil and I'm addicted to peppermint oil cuz it sooths so much ..

[@_kaleido]

Try tea tree oil and jojoba oil along with peppermint oil too! The tea tree oil sooths as well and staves off potential mildew, and jojoba oil is close to your scalp's natural sebum. I use a tea tree/pepperment/olive/jojoba oil on my scalp every day or every other day and massage it in for a few minutes. It makes a huge difference
