Hey y'all! To be clear, the thumbnail is me in 2018 rewinding back to 2014. Nowhere do I make a claim that my hair grew THAT much in one year. Thank you for watching! :-)

@@nadiramcmichael736 I'm sorry to hear that! Try dabbing some witch hazel on your parts with a small makeup brush (nothing that will shed white fibers, like tissue). Give it a little time before you wash it. I hope that helps!

Girl Charleston is also the land of locs! I recently moved here and darn near every man I see has locs, and every woman has natural hair, braids, or locs. Very rarely do I see a black woman with a weave, and she is usually a college kid who's not from here if she does have a weave. I started my loc journey 5 months ago and either I get compliments or no one comments at all because they are so used to it. Girl even white people never ask questions lol. I love that I just fit right in

I watched your video for inspiration to start over. I just cut my 11 year locs off and your video made me feel a lot better about starting over for fresh healthy locs. I wanted bigger more uniform locs, mine started as sisterlocks and people frequently called them braids which I didn't like. I know a lot more now than I did back when I started, hopefully one day mine will be as beautiful as yours!

Hi Nina! I am so happy that you made this video. Your video here is so encouraging to me. Thank you so much! I am on my third set of locs (I was sick and lost my hair for a few years - yep, all sixteen inches. I had been wearing locs since 2005 and before that extensions.) I am super-psyched for my six-month mark in January 2022! My hair is healthy and I use it as a barometer for my state of health. So far, so good! Also this is the only way I know how to wear my hair now. I tried wigs but sister, I did not want straight hair, I had no idea how to style it and I live in Canada where there are no Black people. I tried twisting but it wouldnt take so I am starting from plaits and it feels really good this time. So, thank you form the bottom of my heart. I look forward to seeing your other videos. I am going to pace them out so I dont grow impatient. Blessings, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo

Love em Nice locs! They are awesome. When I first started my hair was in the awkward short super frizzy stage. Now its been a year and 10 months I use rose water with the green Sproil oil or coconut oil and they are shiny black, much smoother, hardly no frizz, non stiff, and past my neck now. It is a process but it is really worth the wait. Even the folks who scoffed at locs at first see my hair progress and now are trying to get them. Lol I'm never going back to flat irons! Dont knock anyone else for it though. Thanks for your videos.

I definitely remember seeing your pictures in hair magazines! 😍 But I'm so broken hearted. I started my loc journey on Jan 31, 2018. I was going to a "professional" to get them done every 3-4 weeks. My husband work schedule changed so I couldn't go to her anymore so I had to find someone who could work with our schedule. Thank the Lord I did that.i went in and she was livid when she saw my hair. Almost all of them was untwisted and at this phase I'm supposed to be pretty far in. Esp with the length and texture of my hair. Smh she washed my hair. And told me I was going to have to start over because my foundation was not done correctly. She comb all of my "locs" out with her fingers within 2 min. 🤦😠 I was thinking I was really progressing and all along the ones that were still somewhat there they were hanging on by basically dirt and buildup. She started me over and I could tell by the way she twisted them vs the first lady these are good to go. And just Beautiful. I'm just upset cause now I'm back at stage one. At this point 1 week on my new loc journey. So disappointing. Seeing this video def makes me like ugh but staying the course and I'm learning how to do my own hair!

When I did mini twists they were so frail and thin and I realized the reason why was because I was detangling too much using tools. Now I'm almost exclusively finger detangling for the whole year I might brush it out carefully once or twice cuz I don't want locks right now. I noticed a lot of thickness and my length is going farther down without tapering... brushing it Snaps It Off very easily from my tightly coiled texture and very tiny fine thin size strands, but my individual hair strands are nowhere near thick or strong. Have to be very delicate

I'm in the DC area also. I'm just tired of fighting my hair. Its very kinky, coily, curly and I've just decided that i need to embrace that aspect of my hair. Locs just seem like the most natural way to go especially with my texture and curl pattern. I think Im going to start my journey Spring or Summer 2019 with coils since I already finger coil my hair. Thanks for sharing.

You have a great smile and kept a positive outlook on your journey. I told a woman that I wanted to start locs but would hate the "ugly phase". She responded, "Sweetie you're not ugly so there is NO ugly phase". That really encouraged me. Thanks for sharing! Mine were started last week @ a professional salon. Looks about the same!

Thanks for sharing, I'm from Alabama, I moved to DC over 30 years ago. I told my mother I wanted locs she said no they don't look good she said you will look like Whoppi I said they are going to be much smaller. But anyway she passed away then I said ok I can get my locs my sister said no, even thought I'm my own person I decided not to. FYI I just starting my locs on February 23, 2020 I have my journey now. I love your hair I'm falling in love with my hair like never before.

You are just...so freaking pretty! You just exude warmth and kindness! And yes I'm subbing just off those assumptions lolol! I've been playing with the idea of locs for a while. This is absolutely encouraging me to act on it! I liked the short length on you, you rocked it! Giving me all types of ideas! Also, kudos to your BF at the time encouraging and embracing your locs. I hate to say but some people, particularly men, can be really ignorant about black women's hair and our femininity.
