ONE YEAR LOC JOURNEY ~ HIGHS, LOWS & EVERYTHING INBETWEEN

[@sharstarg2414]

Probably the HARDEST thing about starting locs are the naysayers. The people that say ur hair would look better in ANY OTHER style, SMDH! Im thankful for these GORGEOUS videos and IG pix that keep me focused! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@bw5020]

This is so true, it hurts. But then they are quick to say how lovely it looks when they grow into their own.

[@promiselocked4707]

Just got swag it out 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@omaridavis8088]

Funnily enough some of those same people say your locs look pretty good once your hair begins to take form.

[@maryaelliott9418]

i love how there is no talking just good vibes 🧡❤️

[@Shakera...]

I finally decided to get locs in the summer of 2020, your video is one of the many videos I'm watching to confirm what I really want, I love your hair😊

[@yoldylabathe3954]

My locs are now 60 days old! I’m so excited to see my beautiful journey 💛

[@darkbrownquti]

Wow your locs are beautiful. I just started my loc journey March 9, 2019. I'm also new to this loc community. I'm subbing to as many locd hair people as I can with my similar hair texture. This will definitely be a challenge for me from being a 4c natural for the past 10 years till now locd. Super stoked. A lot of my family members don't agree with me but, I don't care anymore. I'm ready.

[@bshenc4026]

Apryl I Happy 1 month girl!!! I started mine March 24, 2019 so I’ll be 1 month in 3 days! Im right behind. I’m really excited for the journey. There are a couple of people that don’t see why I’m doing this but it’s not about them so 🤷🏾‍♀️. They can have their opinions lol. Are you documenting your journey anywhere?

[@adabowman4433]

I started mines in October going into 8months locked at the roots but my ends are curly trying to brace them a lot of stages you have to Thur with straight hair but you have think positive it will get there

[@kaneshap.6146]

Good luck! I'm sure you don't need it though! I started a little bit before you, February 25th and they're mostly locd now if that helps you at all. 😊

[@NLee-nq1ku]

I loved this video more than any of the others I've seen. Simply because EVERY picture was relatable to every phase of my transition. Thank you so much for this. I already knew I wasn't alone in this journey but it helps to see this and help with embracing and appreciating every aspect of this. Thanks again

[@keilah4039]

Your hair is gorgeous. I love how much fullness and body it has. It has grown so beautifully. Monthly pictures/videos definitely help to see the progress over time. Happy one year locaversary!

[@donice1973]

You're gorgeous and your locs fit you perfectly! Just started my loc journey two weeks ago and looking forward to it. Thank you for sharing your progress!

Thank you for sharing you are absolutely beautiful. New subbie here! 🎉 Your locs look very similar to my texture so this 12 month journey looks a lot like how mine is coming along. I’m only shy of the 4 month mark but I already see the growth and changes from documenting myself on TikTok. You ladies give us baby loc ladies hope and life! ❤ Thanks for sharing and now I will check out your recent videos for even more inspiration. 🎉😊

[@candicelear179]

[@tracydeniser.n.1432]

The,older they were,the better they looked..im 38 months in a little over 3 yrs no regrets!!

[@shersherst.8606]

Month 5 had you glowing sis..😍😍 I was like "Yesss hunny yess I see budding🤎🤎

[@Rose-Inotila]

You are indeed so beautiful! I'm trying to start the loc journey... I'm sure it's not easy but it's worth it.

[@jackiebrown5003]

Thank you for showing ALL the stages of your Lock growth. Im in my 8th month. Some of the you tubes only show one or two pics of the first unpleasant months of growth and lots of pics of the end result which kind of creates frustration. But its all good. Hair growth as well as locking is a waiting game. Doesnt matter what guck you buy to put in your hair you still have to wait atleast a year before you can breath again. The other day i was laughing at myself because every commercial I find myself in the bathroom taking a look at my Locks. If I continue to do that they will never grow☺

[@KawandaSears]

Love the music can u provide the information and I love your hair. I’m starting my locks on Monday

[@rozchristopherson648]

So glad you kept them. They’re just beautiful! 👍😀👍

[@longhairdontcarealwaysslay6232]

what I love and adore about her locs is the fact that they actually do not resemble locks for example if she decided to pull of her hair back in a pony tail it would look as if she decided to go natural and it paid off with long hair (no locs)

[@MsOwens-vn5nt]

Im so happy to see that you figured it out as far as styling. Your hair is absolutely beautiful!!!!!!

[@SisterSoko]

Thank you! Everything came together in the end x

[@divaliceous1]

I have my hair into coils .Its been a month some of my coils have buds.My coils are to the bottom of my ear.I get Looking at your video gives my patience! Love your journey!

[@malavijano]

[@4evalocd660]

[@TexasGal.]

You and your hair are Beautiful!!

[@evajemison9258]

I’ll be 8 months in my loc journey in 2 days and I am so ready to soak my hair in conditioner 😔 I hate the constant dry feeling. But I’m ready for them the look like locs at the end and only have new growth.

[@backporchwithshundad]

So proud that you kept pushing, even during the Macdonald M phases😊. Your hair is beautiful ♥️

[@SisterSoko]

Thank you! The Mcdonald's M days really put me through my paces! Really makes me appreciate my journey and how far I've come x

[@juneartz1073]

Longer hair is so beautiful on you!! Awesome locs!

[@amandalynmosby4537]

Beautiful Locs! My best advice for new loc wearers, STOP TOUCHING YOUR HAIR! I know it’s irresistible but it disturbs the locing pattern and makes them frizz more. Only touch to groom them. Enjoy the journey!

[@fashionwithoutlabels]

Amandalyn Mosby Have you ever thought that maybe just maybe some people love frizz!!!

[@consciousbeauty9244]

You are gorgeous and so is your hair!

[@islandgirl5382]

Love your make-up, hair, jewelry; very pretty!!!!

[@ashleyholston6343]

Beautiful and inspiring! I am 3 months into my journey. Seeing this gives me life!
