Starter Locs VS Mature Loc Journey | REACTION video

i’m looking back at my loc journey pictures and loc journey videos to see how far I’ve come. I started this set of locs almost 7 years ago and I thought a loc journey reaction video would be fun to share with you. I did starter locs two strand twists to start my loc journey so this loc journey time lapse is a glimpse at what was happening then vs what is happening now. If you could know what will my locs look like in years from now, would you want to know?

Please don't be offended but I have been with you since your third or fourth loc journey and I'm truly shocked you kept going with this set. When you said you were getting that itch to cut these I thought girl I'm shook that they lasted this long 😂. I'm glad you didn't cut them. Your locs and the color is the rare best set of locs I have ever seen so far on the KZbin streets and everywhere else. Your locs are truly a motivation for many to keep going, because seeing the start is rough and can discourage most. Seeing the end results is truly inspiring and motivating.

34 months into loc journey. Thus far I am enjoying my journey. The early stages were challenging however I stayed the course. Patience is key. Now that my locs are so much longer, I notice my scalp has become sensitive and the weight is noticeable. I started with retwist twice a month, now every 6-8 weeks. I don't maintain my hair. Love the video. Very relatable.

[@pandorapink1227]

Omg, your locs in the beginning clip scared me. I screamed because I thought you cut your locs, you got me 😂 lol.

[@ShadesofSage]

I did enjoy this and it was super encouraging ❤️🤗! I’m 16 months loc’d. My hair was waist length so it’s definitely been an adjustment but I love them more everyday 🥰! I want to semi free form too but my stylist says not yet also 😅! We retwist every 4 weeks now. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿!

[@thedigitalloctician]

Lol yeah just hold on to the idea of semi-freeforming for now 😉

[@ShadesofSage]

@@thedigitalloctician Lol 😂! Yes ma’am 🫡❤️!

[@Aaleyahjones2014]

I look like this right now I am in my second month . I was searching for inspiration and I am gone stick beside these locs of mine.

[@pandorapink1227]

Enjoyed your reaction video, I wish I had taken more pics early on in my journey.

[@themandalolo]

Same here. I'm a bit upset I didn't take a picture of the back of my head the day I did my install or even a week later. Now, I'll never know.

[@karenrodgers5718]

I'm in 6 weeks..I self proclaim proclaim being a weave Queen...lol...definitely a spiritual journey for me

[@littlebrownP]

Yes I enjoyed this video. I'm on my 2nd loc journey. Well the first one was for a month that I did the 2 strand twist then my granddaughter came to live with me from college and she retwisted, gave me better parts and even sections. She even insta loc them. Now another month later in and I'm still enjoying them. It's hard to keep my hands out of them but I try my best to not touch them. Please keep the past video clips coming it's so encouraging.

[@tarshanewson]

I'm almost 9 months this month the 29 and i started out with two strand twist with mid back loose natural hair i love my locs yours r gorgeous 💖

[@rustymcgee7488]

Day 19 of 2 strand starter twists and i just redid the front half because the size was too small and i saw your video explaining how combining locs is not a good idea. I have around 30 semi-freeform from here on. Exciting!

[@cameliastepheny5478]

I did enjoy watching this video, I'm 20 months locd now, enjoying the journey so far.

[@thedigitalloctician]

2 years will be here before you know it!!! And thank you for your feedback!

[@Beyond100x]

Peace and blessings Jocelyn,you encouraged me to start my 2nd set of locs it’s about 2 years thank you

[@thedigitalloctician]

that's so dope! i appreciate you following my journey and being inspired to start your next journey!

[@TOOTIELUV87]

I’m going to try and embrace the whole journey. I hear a lot of people with mature locs say they actually miss the starter phase. Being able to watch their hair change. So I guess that’s what helps me try to enjoy this stage, and all it’s many changes ❤. Your hair is BEAUTIFUL (I still can’t wait to get there 😬)

[@Mia-Elemental]

I have mature locs and for me I HATED the starter phase and really the first two years, but I appreciate my locs more because of that struggle. The struggle humbles you and helps create any self love that is not in you. It really makes you embrace your true natural self. It breaks down that negropean mental state.

[@devinbailey6576]

Love the Video, I can’t wait till I can look back. Like that. About to start year two on the first

[@Windsingerful]

That was really good, to show your early days, and different transactions. Your journey encouraged my own, and i know it’s helping others struggling through the early stages and wondering what in the wild world of sports is going on up in head??!! 😂😅😂. You know I’ve follow you for years ❤- I’ll be 8 years loc’d on 2/21.🙌🏾 Thanks for all your help!

[@shalieah]

Definitely enjoyed seeing your journey. I’m 2 months in and I’m experiencing lots of frizz. It doesn’t bother me but it’s nice to see what I have to look forward to. I think my locs are beautiful now and it excites me to know they are going to transform into something even more beautiful. Thanks for sharing! 💖

[@carlahicks5653]

"Wow! Your videos from the past, were soo encouraging to watch, especially when you haven't been in the journey a year yet. Thank you for sharing. It shows the struggle is well worth it.😊

[@Jasminestykes16]

I am 7 months in and I’m ready to throw in the towel 😂

[@mikawilliams1548]

Hi! I'm in Month 3 of my loc journey! I'm enjoying the journey! Thank you for sharing your Loc Journey!😊

[@djkensgirl009]

I just started my second set. They are only a month old. And I was very surprised at the budding that's happening, especially in the back.

[@kayelle202]

Enjoyed the reactionary video. This video is very encouraging to TRUST & proceed w/ my baby loc process. Im on 3 set, 4 months in. Went thru trial & error b4 finding the rt size & loc count that I FEEL is aesthetically pleasing. I'd tune in, if you made more vidz like this.

[@DB101415]

I celebrated my three year locaversary three months ago and I am still very much in love with my locs and this journey.❤️❤️❤️ This was a great video. ❤️❤️❤️

[@devilboystrong_pro1221]

[@thedigitalloctician]

Thank you so much for watching! And it sounds like you’ll have a lot of content to go back on to as well!

[@isruler]

one year and 29 days 💪🏾💯

[@crazystrands83]

Week 3, 3rd set. I don’t even know if I’m going to commit this time.

[@Ashley-xs7pm]

My beginning stages was a big joke. Locs was just sticking up, I called my friend and ask why is it acting crazy lol.

[@lrich0619]

I’m 9 months into my loc journey. And I have some thinking in the nape and thinking about starting over. They are still learning but feeling a little discouraged 😢.

[@lynn3731]

First journey n 2.5 years in and refuse to start over. Maybe one day

[@ishlaelia718]

I'm 2.5 years in and loving it but seriously considering restarting. Not sure I want to start over now that i am really seeing some length and thickness but I have a few locs I am concerned are way too thin. Just watched one of your videos that convinced me that combining them might not be the best option so now I'm torn on what to do.

[@tsimmonds55]

I'm at 2.5 years. I don't plan to restart because I absolutely hated my starter locs. I didn't realize I had a odd number of locs so if I ever restarted I would make sure I have a number divisible by 2 and 3 but I highly doubt that I would restart

[@thedigitalloctician]

LOL @ "absolutely" hated my starter locs! It could not have been THAT bad lol Maybe if you started with more length? But regardless, I am happy that you made it this far!

[@peggyparham5271]

7 weeks starter loc. Little Rock Ar

[@kc_storyteller8694]

I have 31 locs. I believe they are a bit thicker than large, right under wicks. Let’s see how this goes. 1 week in

[@honeybnatural1621]

8 months in my loc journey

[@catinabright8557]

3 months officially on January 1 2023

[@larryknicks]

Had my locs for 2 years but I’ve been growing for three years. I never had hair this long, let alone knots! 😂 Looking forward to where I’ll be in another 4 years…☮️

[@feliciaskreativekreations3914]

I’m 21 months loc’d

[@estelphiri845]

love love your locs...i am 4 years in and nowadays i am not loving my locs much..am thinking of a colour upgrade but also trying to figure out how to do it with the least damage..there are not many pple who do locs that have in depth loc knowledge where I live...if at all..any suggestions from you would be most appreciated

[@debracunningham1526]

6 years. Not starting over at 70 years young.

[@robinwilson1752]

Month 4

[@StillMuffin928]

I’m one year and 4 months

[@alicehall3135]

I’ll be one month on the 28th of this month and I’m already budding. However, I’m unsure if by this being my second journey that my hair kinda already knows what to do or not.

[@thedigitalloctician]

Welcome (back) to the journey! Just trust the process… it is different each and every time!

[@Adlinavi.]

11 months now! My first set I had for 3 years, I love them very much, but them...build up 😰

[@grannatwat9974]

How do you get your locs to curl like that?

[@thedigitalloctician]

These are lacer curls, about 1.5 weeks old
