STARTING LOCS ON KIDS | FIRST TIME - Beginner Friendly

[@meionnawiseman4242]

My daughter is autistic with sensory sensitivity. I’ve been wanting to loc her hair to make doing her hair not so traumatic multiple times a week. I will definitely be following this as a guide to get her hair done this week. Thank you !

[@crownedneptune]

Same exact situation here ❤️🌱

[@mamaonamission1806]

Same situation

[@LaydeeLante]

Same with my son

[@zik0794]

This little mans is so adorable god bless and for a first time doing dreads that was unbelievably good

[@CrystallJamess]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[@zik0794]

@@CrystallJamess you should actually do more videos keeping us updated with your sons locs and try and style them in different ways such as two strand twists and braided locs and cornrow locs snd maybe some natural none permanent hair dyes

[@CrystallJamess]

@@zik0794 Thank you for the ideas! I have my camera on the charger as we speak! LOL So make sure your subscribed if you haven’t already.. hopefully the styles come out nice lol

[@zik0794]

@@CrystallJamess oh! I almost forgot to subscribe I thought I already did...stoner problems lol also my enthusiasm is in its highest levels

[@brownsugah8273]

❤ I tried this yesterday on my 16 month old. I had to come look for a video. The roots are hard. Lol. Ima do some two strand twists and come back when he's 2 maybe 2 and a half and loc it. Used the same products too. ❤

[@rhickishah.3495]

About to start a 2 year old’s locs tomorrow. Never done a child’s hair before so this was great for me to watch. Definitely want him to have an iPad to keep still. 👌🏾

[@CrystallJamess]

I’m glad my video was able to help you! How did it turn out?

[@PeppermintPat]

Aww he's so cute! I plan to do this with my baby when he turns 2. He's 18 months so just 6m to go. He's got 4c hair too, so i want something manageable and i plan to do everything myself, including the cut. I would love to see an update how your son's hair is now a few years later.

[@CrystallJamess]

That’s exciting! And of course I’ll definitely do an updated video sometime this month (February) ❤️ thanks for the support!

[@lindaajileye9179]

Little man is too adorable. Big hugs for being so patient little man. ❤️❤️

[@kaykepop4084]

I love how he's such a loving soul and had to keep saying hello to the camera 🥰. Thank you for this video, I needed guidance in doing dreads for the first time in my 7 years old son.

[@CrystallJamess]

Thank you so much! & Yes I love his personality! How did your 7 year olds dreads come out?

[@kaykepop4084]

@@CrystallJamess my son's dreads would not stay. I tried twice but within a few days after they would come undone. I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong or if it has something to do with his hair type (soft, semi loose curl pattern).

[@CrystallJamess]

K. S. Oh okay maybe you should try the “Jamaican mango & lime licking firm wax or locking creme wax” one of those have to work just make sure to blow dry on cool & tie his hair down.. for my son I had his hair tied down for almost a week because I was afraid his would come out when he started playing. So if you have more time & wanna try it one last time I think that should work.

[@QUEENfknJASS]

“Very miserable looking” lol he had it written all over his face! He is such a beautiful baby boy 🥰

[@CrystallJamess]

he was lol i was feeling bad for him but thank you so much!!

[@daijan4140]

i love how it came out! im watching different videos so i can get comfortable. my 2 year old is either getting loc'd up or his hair is getting cut. im not ready for the hair cut yet so locs it is. you did a great job mama!

[@CrystallJamess]

Yes definitely try locs before cutting it. I wasn’t ready either lol but Thank you so much ☺️

[@Amazing_80]

I need to dread my son hair & he will never sit like that he cries when I just put Lotion in it 😭 hates brushing it, washing it, etc 😂

[@CrystallJamess]

Try having him sit for a short amount of time & as he gets better let him sit longer while distracting him with something lol it’ll work.

[@worldofcats5850]

He is actually so cute with dreads thx for the video god blesses u and ur son

[@justkellee]

Awww, he looked so handsome! You did a great job. Thanks for this. I’m going to loc my son’s hair and this was the encouragement I needed!

[@CrystallJamess]

I’m so great you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! I’ll do an updated video soon for y’all to see how they turned out! But Yes you can do it! 🙌🏾

I’m struggling doing my son’s locs. He can’t sit for 2 min🤣. Your son is adorable 🥰

[@InResponseOutreach]

Get the tablet

[@CrystallJamess]

Lol I definitely understand & thank you so much! 💛 try to distract them somehow food might work, coloring books, iPad/tablet/tv etc. Good Luck 👍🏾

[@trinyahfearless2148]

the modern understanding of dreadlocks is that the British, who were fighting Kenyan warriors (during colonialism in the late 19th century), came across the warriors’ locs and found them ‘dreadful,’ thus coining the term ‘dreadlocks.’” Personally, I refer to my hairstyle as locs, having dropped “dread” altogether given its negative connotation.

[@CrystallJamess]

I never knew that! That's crazy but Thank you for educating me on that! I'm going to do a little more research myself! 🧡

[@JandJsiblingsfla]

He actually sat there omg good for him

[@CrystallJamess]

Yes, I’ve had him in a chair since he was like 8-10 months old. So he knows the rules by now lol

[@nanas0849]

You could get it now just make sure the barber doesn’t cut past his baby hair, trying to make a line.

[@CrystallJamess]

sorry for the late response for some reason i never got these but he can get it just not too close to his natural hair line.

[@XoJalyssa]

Love it sis can’t wait to try this because Ezzys hair is in need of help lol

PERFECT now I can get my kids hair done right thank u

[@CrystallJamess]

You’re welcome! Glad I can help!

And I believe his hair is 4c. I have 4c and I can tell by how it’s shrivels you and how it sucks up moisture. 4c hair isn’t curly it’s coiled

[@CrystallJamess]

Oh okay makes sense, I think I had it confused with how fine or thick it is with the type of hair he had! But thank you ❤️

His has looks really nice. Did you only loc it up because his dad had locs or would you have locked it up no matter what?

Hi! Are the dreads permanent or can I take them out?

hello, his locs can be combed out but as of right now they have locked which makes them permanent...if that makes sense.
