Starter Loc Dos and Don'ts | Lessons Learned During My Loc Journey

[@jaydw2583]

5 months in and I’m still watching these types of videos. Everytime I learn something new to help me on my journey ❤️❤️

[@lowenddolly7198]

Your hair is gorgeous. I’m OBSESSED with your eyebrows 😍

[@clementine4133]

Hair does what it does, we love and embrace that!!! That is the lesson I learned.

[@cburrell9907]

Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Thank you for the tips and congratulations on finishing your MBA.

[@Antoinette922]

I'm considering locs but I'm terrified of the awkward stage. I had a consultation yesterday and asked about faux locs over starters but she said don't do it. Your video is more encouraging.

[@deidrefranklin9674]

I had the same experience. They said absolutely No. my appointment is 11/4/21. So nervous about it but no time like now. I’m terrified too. lol

[@kerlinebriceus764]

I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one who’s nervous about the awkward stage. That’s been the main reason why I haven’t taken moved forward. The plan is to get starter locs on my birthday in November. I’m nervous and excited about it.

It will be beautiful with grey highlights ❤️💫

[@yamekawebb9416]

Thank you for your video. I'm two weeks (almost 3 weeks) in and I'm very self-conscious about how my hair looks now. Although I see growth I was told not to put too much tension on styling it just yet. I must say that I absolutely love your hair and the length. I can't wait to get some fullness in my head. Also, I'm so glad you spoke about shampooing your hair. I was tripping as well when I was told not to wash my hair. Ummmmm....yeah, that's a big negative! I will be washing mine too in about another week and a half. It's a must! I wish you continued success on your journey!

[@jenellecarnavon3907]

Just started following. I'm almost 3 weeks in my loc journey. I appreciate that you are authentic and natural in the way you speak and share. Very candid. Thanks again

[@tuftlittlecookie]

Washing your hair aides in growth because your scalps needs to be clean to grow at its fullest potential. I think stylist don’t want you to wash your hair because it’s easier for them to manage.

[@stefslyfe]

Doing your thing…..glad to see another new youtuber grinding through the early stages. Keep working and being consistent and things will work in your favor…✌🏽😃✌🏽(and I love your demeanor, you’re not all needlessly high energy,lol)

[@JasmineTyon]

Appreciate it!!

[@jasminejackson7103]

I am currently 5 days into my journey. I started with comb coils and I am already experiencing a lot of frizz. But I’m here for it! You are absolutely right, wearing them out has already helped to improve my confidence. I’m excited to see how my hair will transform in the coming months. Thanks for the tips ❤️ your locs look AMAZING by the way 🥰

[@coulettelove935]

lol the constant blinking was so calming to me.

[@MaddyMadness08]

wow!!! you are giving me so much hope SIS.. the awkward phase has me wearing headwraps etc

[@p.o.ppouringonpurpose3789]

I started my locs a week today! I already have the frizz. It’s changed. I’m excited about the journey.

[@deanneallen4760]

Hi Jasmin, I assume you already ran your marathon but it would be lovely to be able to share in that journey with you. I myself am a runner. I am starting all over again now after pregnancy but love running. It would be great to have a sister to share the journey with. As for your hair, it's gorgeous! I am also on a new loc journey.Thanks for the your content, it's encouraging.Blessings xox

[@gloriabanner2750]

I'm just seeing your page. I've been loc'd now for two months and I love it. Your hair is amazing and I appreciate your info.

[@alexisvictoria_]

I’ve been wanting to start my locs now for awhile but was discouraged because of the length of my hair now, your videos have been so helpful 🤍

[@isa_virtual]

I just started my journey with mini twists yesterday🥺 thanks for all theses informative videos, it’s been helpful

[@terisimmons539]

Your locs are nice, I’m in my3rd month of my journey, I work in nursing so I wear scrub caps . Days off hats or scarfs when out. Lord give me patience to trust the process. Thanks for your uplifting videos 😉

[@preciouschanda7446]

You've got the best advice 😌 thank you so much

[@ladymorey2438]

You and your locs are beautiful. I Am 4 months In my lock journey started by double twist.. I wash my hair on a regular (water on my head helps me Spiritually) it did actually help loc my hair because my hair is natural curly being a Black & Puerto Rican woman so my hair just natural wrapped / formed/ locked itself. I agree with your advice. Thanks

[@Paaaaige]

Great lessons ♥️ Excited to continue my own journey

[@HairstylesbyCarol]

Thank you for the information, and you are well spoken,

[@ktstudevent]

I hear that over and over about not washing your hair! That’s so crazy! I get my hair washed once per week and I love it! My locs are growing so nicely. I had some girl tell me she couldn’t start locs because she heard you couldn’t wash your hair! That’s freaking ridiculous and hilarious!

[@JohannaEarthlyRamos]

😳 READ ME LIKE A BOOK! So we friends now cause no one else would be allowed to read me that way 😂. This is hands down the most impactful video I’ve watched preparing for and being in my loc journey 2 weeks. Yeah like you’ve said I’ve watched a lot. Thank you thank you thank you ☺️.

[@favored81]

Thanks for this channel I got my 1st retwist yesterday

[@tiwanaloves]

This is such a great vlog! I actually came here because of your reason #2 😂 I just started my locs and keep looking at other loc journeys to help me get through this phase. I started with a big chop even though I was natural already. Just wanted to start fresh. But I definitely was not ready for THIS look I have. Your video helps. I will keep moving forward with it! Also I am a fellow runner! ❤️

[@aspen5151]

I love your hair and its length and how it looks. It kind of reminds me of how willow smiths locs looked before she cut it all off. I'm thinling of starting locs and I dream of having locs similar to yours bc of the fluff and volume, I think its beautiful!

[@sincerelykayyy]

3 seconds in…girl, you have amazing bone structure 😍 simply beautiful! Back to the video lol

[@nicolethompson2234]

Your locs are fabulous💙

[@Im_himothy01]

Omg your locs are beautiful. I started Saturday, 2nd set. Definitely going about this set differently tho

[@NomadicHomebody]

Great content. Keep it coming. Please do some vids on your training for the marathon. I’m in the process of doing the same and could use some advice/ motivation

[@debbieferley3522]

You should try loc brushing to combat the lint problem

[@JasmineTyon]

I'll give it a try once my locs mature more.

Thanks for the video very informative, I have a question can I wear a wig everyday on my starter locks because they’re very ugly at this point?would I damage my locks by wearing a wig

[@ianjohnson1413]

Love your hair and your shoulders

[@sekayiperkins7448]

This is the first video I’ve seen with someone in the phase they are speaking of … others are speaking in past tense with their loc down their back

[@LovelyKelz]

I can relate on trying to take out the lent at the ends of my locs a few times but I’ve stopped that habit 😩

[@shawaniaallen2051]

I just started my loc journey and I have a problem with my hair unraveling in the back...did you have that problem in the beginning?

[@JasmineTyon]

Yeah. My locs along the back of my hairline were consistently unraveling until month 4

[@kdozier2935]

Love your videos! I started my hair loc journey Nov 10th. 2021. I was wondering how long you waited before your first experience with water in your hair and was that a full wash, if so, how did you dry it?

[@JasmineTyon]

I was going to a loctician every two weeks for a wash and retwist in the first two months. After that I started getting retwists monthly and washing in between whenever I felt like my scalp felt dirty

[@kdozier2935]

@@JasmineTyon Thank you!

[@quanzaaustin1915]

Sounds like my mother... lol She hates my locs 🤣

is washing your locs every month okay? esp if u like workout everyday...

[@LatoyaNickee]

Did your hair thin when you did the wrap method faux locs? How long did you keep them in?

[@JasmineTyon]

No it didn't. I kept them in for three weeks.

[@LatoyaNickee]

@@JasmineTyon My locs are about the same length as yours and I’m contemplating wrapping them too, but I’m worried they will slide off. How did you manage to make them stay?

[@JasmineTyon]

@@LatoyaNickee I actually had no problem with them sliding out.

[@LatoyaNickee]

[@tarshanewson]

Washing your hair is definitely a must

[@royzellhenderson-ty6my]

You don't need to retwist

[@kingroman9538]

you know whats sad! its young black men who go around telling people not to wash they hair. i watch countless loc content both of men & women never do i hear women saying dont wash your hair for months. this just my own personal opinion but women & maybe older men give more realistic loc advice. but I'm speechless with the amount of content that exist of black men saying go 3 to 6 months no wash.

[@royzellhenderson-ty6my]

Brush your locs

[@shannoncurtis2107]

Washing your hair is not a must AT ALL. My hair grows so much more with dirty hair. When you are not putting products in your hair you shouldn't have build up. Use sea breeze to clean scalp. You have grows better with it's natural oil..... Locs or braids we don't wash hair often.....

[@RobinNatural1]

Washing your hair is a must. Whether you use products or not there are environmental elements that get into our hair and on our bodies. Dirty hair is just gross. That’s like saying a dirty body is healthier. Absolutely not. You may not agree but I’m stating facts. Blessings.

[@genejaytre]

Shampooing your hair is only necessary is you use products. Not everyone does. You can go a great while without doing so. Shampooing your hair doesn’t equal growth. Growth is all about length retention hence why locs retain length. Let’s not misguide people. Video otherwise is cool

[@JasmineTyon]

Having a clean scalp definitely helps hair growth.

[@genejaytre]

@@JasmineTyon helps but there’s people I have witness shampooing quarterly and sometimes twice yearly and their hair grows just fine. There’s people that don’t use shampoo at all and all of these people don’t use product. I’m speaking professionally and things I e experienced and witness. It’s no different than someone leaving braids In for 2 months

[@Brownlaycurls]

@@genejaytre at first i didn’t agree with the no wash point you made. But when you mentioned the braids…yep. Our hair grows with protective styles. It just does. But a clean scalp is also just as important. For my hair, I’ve always noticed that the more i wash and stimulate my scalp it grows like a weed. I’m 51 and have always had long hair, never had a problem growing it. And i NEVER go more than two weeks without washing. But great point with the braids. Really

[@mzeveystylez4705]

Awesome tips🙌🏾🙌🏾 I honestly think that people are told not to wash their hair if they start with comb coils; I was personally told the same by a loctician. Long story short I wasn't Waiting 3 months to not wash my hair.🦠🤢😂 This shouldn't be a general statement for other methods that don't easily unravel.
