Even though I’m a Jamaican descendant and offspring of a line of Rastas I was never told or made to loc my hair without choice. Grew up experiencing the dirty looks and nasty comments said about my father because of is locs. I always saw locing your hair as a spiritual journey as much as it is a physical one. Im 24 now but as I get older I am yielding to the calling to loc and allowing my ancestors to guide me on my journey.(With me knowing family history...Adding extensions will forever be a no no but do you) I grew up hearing a lot of the gems said in these comments. There’s a huge misconception between young people wanting to loc their hair because of the “ugly phase” but just trust the ancient process and make your journey sweet. Blessings Kings and Queens.

Semi free form loc'd for nearly 10 years now. Instead of coils/palm rolls I started with interlocked baby locs. This was because I had an active lifestyle and needed to wash my hair every week in a hot climate. I had an awkward loc stage for about 6 months til they started maturing and I absolutely love them now. I've learned to maintain them myself by interlocking the new growth every 2-3 months and went from taking 6 hours to do my whole head to a little over 2 hours just from practice. I love how low maintenance they are and the versatility of styles. Most days I wake up and walk out the door ready to go. No fuss!

This video was very informative. I've been researching Sister locs & micro logs along with locs in general. This video has help me in making that decision. Thanks so much 🙏. Exactly what I needed to see

[@LadyTSellsRE614]

Nice video, very informative. I’ve had locs for 10 years. My locs were stated with a two strand twist. And then they were interlocked and palm rolled. They are currently about 20 inches long at the longest point. My question deals with thinning in the front of my head. I’m not losing locs but I am noticing thinning. It is in the front through out and hair line zones. Any suggestions as I go on the journey to restore the front zones

[@lalamorena22]

Great information! I just started my loc journey 3 weeks ago!

[@CocoLaurel]

I want to strengthen and grow out my hair a little more before starting my traditional lock journey. That slide she showed was absolutely gorgeous. They’re not too thick and they’re not too thin either. I’m half 🇯🇲 and have always been fascinated by locs. I feel like my hair would grow so much faster if I had locs and I get so tired of free form hair

[@staceywhite8840]

This video was very helpful. I'm thinking about getting locs, maybe something on the lower maintenance scale. Again, thanks for the info

[@AkosuaFire]

I had the traditional locs (actually just findin out theyre called this) for nearly 20 years. I LOVED them. However the narrator is correct. Until the hair actually locs, (which can take AWHILE) the wearer may feel their hair is unattractive as it goes thru the transition. Hair grows really fast once locked and id cut it after it got too long (waist length was too long for ME). Then id let it grow again, then cut again. Finally, i reluctantly cut them all the way off thinkin that the weight of my hair was responsible for balding on the top of my head. However, it turns out it was actually a health concern behind my hair loss. Im currently considering going through the process of growing them again from scratch and i appreciate this video. I guess ill do it the handrolling method i used the first time i locked as each loc was uniform in size and had pretty curls at the end. Thanks again for such a thorough , well produced video😘.

[@Noblebird02]

Why are locs able to get so long? Given the trouble many African people have growing their hair.

[@theunorthodoxjourney5556]

Freeform is your own custom set of locs😍 I loved mine and the only down side in freeform locs is probably popping them lol.

[@HEFFAHHH]

I’m starting my locs for my 28th birthday whichisnextmonth and I’m so excited

[@queenree3623]

I'll be starting my first set on me and my kids. I'm excited for us. I'll be starting my son's tomorrow. Me and my husband dont believe in cutting our kids hair in no kind and my sons dont like getting their hair done all the time so it'll be easier for me and them. This video helped a lot.

[@starlifter_vignt9264]

The types of locks imma get don’t really have any downsides. For real for real it was just like, “You may have ugly stages and my be ashamed to let others see you in public with them.” That’s not a good enough reason for me to NOT get them. I’m only 15 years old so imma be good wit the locks thanks.

This video was very helpful to me because I will soon be embarking on my loc journey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.😊 Also, your hair is absolutely gorgeous!😍 Before this video, I thought I wanted sister locs, but now micro locs seems to be a better choice (to avoid losing hair). Thanks again.😊

Wow please more video the best loc video I have ever watch. I wish I had seen this video before getting sister locks I would have gotten micro locs. I still love my journey but those thinning and breaking locs are a buzz killer. Please more video thanks

[@luckygirl20000]

Glad you enjoyed it, Thanks for watching!💞

[@nattybynature1262]

There's nothing wrong with the term "dreadlock" as far as I know. In fact, growing up, we more commonly called them "dreads" or "madredi". But I guess it's a different perception in western spheres.

[@Najgee]

😎Cause there is nothing dreadful about our locs 🌞👑💯

Team Sisterlocks! 11 years! Totally worth it.

[@RILLAMAN84]

Sister locs looks better to me 🤔. When the time comes, I’d get them thicker. Thick enough to still do anything with them.

[@DopeFrameOfMind]

I locced my hair a whole year ago and it was and is the best decision I could have ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Banana-lk7tf]

First off, your hair is gorgeous! I just got Sisterlocks but I honestly still don't know the real difference between them and microlocks. I'm starting to wonder if it was worth all the cash. Your locks look just as small as mine, if not, smaller and your locks are just as versatile. What am I missing?

This is my first time ever seeing and hearing of micro locs and currently I’m on my semi free form locs journey but now I’m in love with the micro locs look and aesthetic I definitely want to end up getting some in the future to see if I can pull it off

the micro locs are beautiful

[@elenavangeli8824]

you have such a sweet voice I want you to tell me about locs forever 🥺

1. Freeforms (use sponge for a certain amount of time and leave it be bc it’ll lock on itself) 1:35 2. Semi freeforms 3:37 3. Traditional locs ( installation and maintenance) 4:35 4. Mrico locs 7:11 5. Sister locs 9:40

[@sherleyalexandre331]

Thx

[@DriftWizard750]

Is there another type, the title says 6 , your list has five. I just cut my second set of natty dreads

[@keishamariedouglas]

Thank you for this. I am really contemplating going the micro-loc route.

[@joyroane1212]

WoW ... thank you for this info, I have been wanting sister locs and dreds but maybe I will just go will microlocs - because I don’t think there is a certified sister loctiction in Colorado Springs. But this was a Great teaching video - Thank you!!!!!!

[@luckygirl20000]

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@TriggaTreDay]

I’m not sure why you would actually need a certified loctiction to get sister locs. This is new to me. If you or someone you know knows how to do them then do them. Look up a KZbin video for a tutorial.

[@nyzhayascott-james1295]

I’ve been wanting my locs for years but my dad wanted me to wait to see if I actually wanted them since I’m very young and finally got them in August I’m 14 can’t wait to see how my journey goes

[@nakalsue]

Thank you for this video. I am going for sister locs soon. I am only worried about maintenance as I live in a country (Switzerland) that doesn't have Afro saloons hence will probably fly to Paris

[@promostk]

NEW TO THIS SISTER LOC JOURNEY...THANKS FOR SHARING

[@Tweetyeti]

Love this video- but if you have straight hair and want to do freeform- beware....its definitely a style that works better with some curl

[@sonianofear7738]

Formed my locs back in 1984. Never regretted it.

[@charlinefrancois5712]

I'm getting micro locs or sisterlocks and I hope I can get more than 1000 locs 😩 😫

[@theventilationroom1815]

As a person with 617 sisterlocs you only think you want 1,000 until you get over 500....I promise you your hair will look full and beautiful with fewer than 1,000 locs

[@mrsgarcia5915]

I second that. The sit for that many locks is terrible. In the end yes its worth it but 400 to 600 is a good amount. I was like that too but after day 3 I was like just do whatever you have to do to finish. Also you gain extra locs throughout your journey. Last I counted I had over 400 and I've gained 10-15 more. #sisterlocs

[@fashionwithoutlabels]

@@theventilationroom1815 Very true. I had sisterlocks installed years ago (i took them down after 2 weeks) I had over 400-500 lcs and I got anxiety thinking about the maintenance time. So I CAN NOT imagine having over 1000 micro-locs to maintain. That's crazy.

[@minkabby9536]

I have to gey the comb method ones till they loc up then imma inter loc

[@blackmarketbraids4734]

I started my own with microtwists , 215 total . I twist roots , no interlocking

[@patricejones-smith9772]

I had lock before after 7yrs of having them i cut them off. Now i want to start them again. This video help make my mind up.

[@KDbelieves]

I don't think I'll ever get locs because I love the kinky straight look too much. Blown out hair with curls at the end will forever be my signature hairstyle, but I loc so much. If I ever got locs I would do micro locs. They look so ethereal.

[@markettamcgregor8501]

Thank you for the informative video. I'm excited about starting loc journey. This was extremely helpful in deciding which method. I think I will be going with the semi free form. Praying that I can find the best loctician for my journey. 🙏🏼❤

[@luckygirl20000]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video 💞.

[@MALEECKSWIFE29]

Semi free form is when you break the free form locs apart giving them shape without anymore manipulation

[@kiwiwaters5623]

Exactly. No palmrolling needed

[@Zombianca42]

I noticed you didn’t mention the cost of maintenance and installation of the instant locks. I noticed these can be upwards of $500 for full installation and $20 an hour per maintenance session.

[@DareenaWilliams]

I decided on sisterlocs because I love the look. I installed it myself. I started off with 2 stand twist using manuka honey as my gel and I upkeep it using interlocking. I learned how to do it myself to save money but spending the money to get it done is also we’ll work ir as it’s a lot of work

[@Resilientlyblessed]

I believe in order for it to be Sisterlocks it would need to have a specific grid and installed by a sisterlock consultant otherwise it’s microlocs which is just as beautiful! Either way great job❤

[@angelloveyyy]

I’m Jamaican dreadlocks is our culture when I came to America don’t see them too often

[@m.l.l.d2316]

It depends on where you are located. There are some cities in America where you would see them more often.

[@shaniaedwards388]

I'm engaged to a Jamaican man and some Jamicans do not like locs for some reason, I had a Jamaican lady come up to me and told me that locs are not good and they don't like it there and they classify locs with unkempt people. Its really bad, and I was shocked she came up to me just to say that. You could see locs more in the south as well and other cities such as Chicago. But all natural hair is beautiful!
