Thick Locs VS Full Locs | Which is Best When Starting Locs | Hair Texture / Density |

[@whitley17]

I started my locs on extremely short hair. I braided the roots and 2 strand twisted the rest. I started off with small locs but I ended up combining soooo many of them throughout the first year because I ended up wanting thicker locs. I didn't have a parting system, either. I went from 150ish locs to only 91 😂 On July 1st, I'll be 2 years in and I'm soooo happy with how my locs are flourishing. My advice to anyone starting locs is to learn how to get to the place where you're your own loc goals ❤️

[@Chynax_M]

Yasssssss! I love this, we’ll said! You can have inspiration but we all have to be our own goal . 🙌🏾🥰

[@KAYTEEZIE]

This all depends on the density of your hair. I’ve seen people with thick AND full locks. I have 35 locks and you cannot see my scalp at all. I have dense hair.

[@Chynax_M]

Yes you are totally right .

[@hefsicathy5857]

So encouraging

[@nightxlynxs]

Lucky u😩🍀, I would love to see them😍

[@Saynothing869]

Yes she said that

[@orianasimmons]

This is so interesting bc I’m the opposite if i had 35 locs I’d be all scalp lol

[@ygtchris1626]

Full locs was my goal and I have fine strands but semi dense hair. I have 79 locs which gives me a good medium-large size like I wanted. My parting is a little ununiform but I have c shaped parts that differ in size based on location. I literally pulled each part to gauge how it would feel with weight and made the size according to comfort. I love my locs, I wouldn’t change a thing about them 💓

[@IrisStyleInc]

So true. I have fine hair and I have 122 small locs. I'm 1.5 years into my journey. I feel like it's starting to fill out as my locs mature and get longer. You definitely have to be realistic with your hair texture and density. I felt like if I would have chosen a thicker loc and bigger parts it wouldn't look as full for my texture and density. I will see how they continue to progress. 💖✌🏾

[@Chynax_M]

That’s awesome! I’m glad it’s working out for you! Thank you for watching and sharing! 🥰🥰🙌🏾

[@bzrbeauty3620]

You are so right!!! I just cut my 2nd set of locs off and I wish I would have started with fuller locs, bigger locs are not for fine hair!!! My ponytails and styles were not full 😢 but I’m starting over by the end of 2023

[@IrisStyleInc]

@@bzrbeauty3620 Yes! It is personal preference and being realistic about what your hair is capable of. 💖

[@Tina2tu]

I never realized the difference until you broke it down this way. I’ve been one month loc’d. With this knowledge you’ve given, I think it’ll actually help me enjoy the journey more ❤️🙏🏾 thank you!

[@Chynax_M]

Awwww that’s awesome!! Thank you for watching!🥰🥰🙌🏾

[@puddytatpurr]

One of the few things I've learned after being loc'd for ten years is your locs will not look like anyone else's!! I would love sleek locs like you have, but I have very floofy hair and therefore very floofy locs, despite using conditioning treatments and hydrating treatments. I have quite thick locks and have often wondered if thinner locs would suit me 😂

[@Chynax_M]

Ahhhhhh lol, how long you’ve been loc’d?

[@puddytatpurr]

@@Chynax_M Nearly 11 years, although this is my third set - I lost a lot of hair after having my son seven years ago and cut it all off in panic - then had extensions put in a month later. Then (because my sections were huge and uncomfortable) two years ago I spent a month unloc'd before having extensions again. My own hair is just past my chin, I have HH extensions down past my hips too. I know not everyone agrees with extensions and thinks it's cheating, but my hair would never grow this long without them

[@the_artful_rabbit]

Was finally able to watch it! Thanks so much for making this video. Such a great topic and I feel like it's not discussed enough. Haha I obviously want both and all of my loc inspirations leaned more on the volume spectrum than thickness. Though there is that perfect midpoint! When I initially got my locs my loctician did a beautiful job but definitely didn't listen when I was explaining how important volume is to me (I have thick, high density hair) and she gave me 70 locs. Which would have given me beautiful thick locs but I didn't necessarily think it was the right number to give me the fullness I wanted. After two months I got some of them split bringing the number up to about 126. I'm a couple weeks away from 1 year and I am so soo glad I trusted my gut instinct because my locs are so beautiful to me!!! Thick and full!!

[@Chynax_M]

Awww that is awesome! I’m glad you got the fix them in the beginning before they started to mature . Happy to hear your loving your locs and enjoining your journey!🥰🥰🙌🏾

[@taniyahjackson684]

I literally texted my loctician today after my appointment because I counted when I got home and only have 69 or 70 and I definitely want a more fuller look, more volume so I’m going to get that fixed my next appointment

[@nanaabenadarkowaah1800]

wanted to start my loc journey in November. But the loctician said my hair wasn't healthy enough and gave me advice on how to make my hair healthier. She said I should come back in March. I can't wait for my journey to finally start😍😍

[@LadyDee150]

This was really informative. I needed to consider all of the things you mentioned before starting my locs, but I didn't know any better. So, although I'm ok with how my locs turned out, I should have been more careful with my parting and such at installation time since I wanted full locs and not thick locs. As usual, I enjoyed watching. Great content!

[@iaintoncrack]

Thank you so much for making this video. I have 60 locs , and I love the thickness of them, but I’m kind of insecure about how little volume I have (especially after a retwist they just fall flat lmao). I didn’t know there was a difference, I thought if you had thick locs they would be full. I’ll use this information when I comb these out and start over eventually lol

[@Chynax_M]

Ohh nice! We’ll I’m glad you know now so you can apply it to your new set of locs! 🙌🏾🥰🥰

[@Heyu7her3]

Stop fretwork them often, and they'll thicken up. Retwisting thins them out. If you look up "thick locs" on KZbin, you'll see what others have done.

[@rozchristopherson648]

I think it is better to start with smaller or medium partings which will lead to a smaller or medium locs. Then wait and see how the locs are maturing. One can always combine locs to get thicker locs. But splitting locs to make them thinner is a much more difficult task.

[@Chynax_M]

Yes that is, I agree!

[@mybeasley2442]

Hey Chyna! You're looking fabulous! And those locs... wowee! Never would have guessed your loc count number... seems like you have many more. I am 6 months locd and was VERY surprised to find out that I have many different textures mixed all over my head. When I was loose natural, I thought I was 4C all over. When I locd my hair, I am really only 4C in the crown. I have 4A and 4B and even some 3C in places. I installed with two strand twists but had to switch to braid locs in many places. Now the locs that were braided are looking great to me. The locs in the 4C crown were two strand twists and I'm a bit disappointed in the appearance. But who knew this would happen? Any whoo, I love all of my locs. Different personalities of all 218 of my babies. Love your channel! Thanks for sharing!

[@georginaquaye1399]

Thank you for this video! I'm 6 months in my journey and right now I'm not really satisfied with my locs. Thanks to your video i realized that used the wrong terminology when I was explaining what I wanted to my loctician. I told her I wanted my hair to be "thick but not too thick" when I really was talking about fullness🤦🏿‍♀️. I also asked for small-medium locs with diamond parts and I ended up with 80 locs. It's not as full as I wanted but I think I might have low density hair too🤷🏿‍♀️. I'm trying to hold out on combing it out and see how they look when they're fully mature.
