5 Reasons You SHOULDN'T Get Hightop Locs || WATCH Before Deciding

[@chocothun1]

But remember this: Your journey is that: your journey. Take it as you see fit and get out of it what you can. No one can a journey that they themselves did not take…and since they aren’t you, they didn’t take your journey. Embrace it…and may your journey bear much fruit.

I'm almost to 2 years with my high top locs, and I love them. they are thick because of my hair type, but I love the fade and fresh retwist combo . the full set would be too much for me, especially with sweating and stuff in the summertime. but, to each its own. To my fellow high toppers, EMBRACE YOUR HIGH TOP! xoxoxo

[@votnyf4157]

One of the reasons I have high top locs is that I actually like that it will look short to mid length. I say that because I love the loc journey but I don't think I'll want them down to my back, but hey I admire all styles of locs

Hi top dreads here, about 6 years into the journey. They’re around chest length from top of head, and I’m actually now thinking of growing the sides and back for a full set. Never to late to try something or to commit differently

[@ahmadkaien]

I have a LONG full set and can do beanies. There’s bigger ones out there. I’d also recommend neck gaiters too if you don't want them rubbing on your neck. You could also keep your locs and still get a full set eventually….maybe look into attaching locs to your sides. Like EVENTUALLY they’ll get to the point where you’ll want to cut them shorter. If you got double your length, cut it in half and attach it to your sides, it could look nice. Of course that’s a process but food for thought maybe

[@icecool85]

Where do you buy your beanies from?

[@Kalasardar75]

These are facts! When I grew my first set of locs, and I decided to cut the sides abs back, I knew it was only time before I cut the rest of my hair. They just didn’t fall right and I was ready to transition. Now that my locs are growing in unison all over my head, it appears more full mainly because I do indeed have more hair, and not necessarily longer hair

Me personally I love my hightop set. I wasn’t a big fan of having a full set plus I think it works for me especially with styles and overall uniqueness. Maintenance ain’t too bad I shave it bald once a month then let it grow in. I stay away from the tapered front just rock my hairline natural and just trim the widows peak (can’t do the vegeta 😂) I got pretty good thickness too. I only have like 48 locs so they’re all pretty good size

Uff i was thinking about keeping the vegeta lols. I got mine interlock last month, already had two years worth of hair growth so its ok length but not long. So far i like it! I get to keep my fade but it kinda evolved into something else

[@stari313]

u recommend starting off with high top or full head then transitioning to high top

[@KimarKurosaski]

@@stari313 I would say it depends on what your hair is when you start growing it out. If you already got a hi top I would say dread that up just so you don’t have to start from the very beginning. But if you starting from scratch maybe grow out a fro and start with a full set to see how you feel.

[@wakeemupyontay]

I actually went from high top locs to a full set after about a year and a half in. What I did was let the sides grow in a little and started braiding them all into cornrows until the sides caught up essentially. It’s crazy because I’m about to cut them all down shorter, but I noticed the sides are not as different in length as they were when I started locking them up. Cornrows make your [hair] grow faster

[@bigazi8935]

Im actually going through this too but i dont have dreads i have 10-12 inches of hightop hair. wanna grow the sides atleast enough for a taper before i start my journey and plan to put the sides in cornrows whilst having the rest in twists. the ugly stage is gonna suck though

[@theoneyouwishtobe]

The end is a new beginning gang

[@axelosrs4714]

I started with high tops and im 10 months in... i started to grow my sides out in the start march of this year because of the volume issue. I saw some pics of my hair from other angles and hated how little volume my hair had on the sides compared to the front and back. The length situation was never an issue for me. High top locs can look really good especially if you get a cut regularly and keep your hair up to show it off but If anyone is thinking of starting locs and youre like me, someone who doesnt plan to put your hair up and just wants to let them hang, just start with a full head of dreads. Growing my sides out as of now hasnt been bad because my locs are long enough to where they cover the new growth on the sides.

[@akeem2752]

I had wayyyyy too much hair I had to cut it. most folks don't even notice that I have high top locs. look at my profile pic .

You’re onto something about this “pecking order”. Although I simply can’t subscribe to free forms being top tier even though many people believe so.

[@luvmusic16ify]

Had a hightop set for almost a year but grew my sides and back for over a year now and it’s finally gotten to point where it’s starting to catch up it’s about the a little more than half the size of the my longer locs I feel like in another year it’ll start to flow more. So the people that wants to grow out their undercut it is possible and it will eventually somewhat catch up ✌🏽

[@YJCTBM]

Ur soo right about everything but the one that hits the most is the over cut from barbers and making it thin .so I cut of my dreads and now is doing freeform .

[@chocothun1]

This is part of the reason why I chose to start on a drop/low fade…so I have some of that volume with some of that space for a decent undercut. But let’s talk about the deforestation on the line of demarcation that can happen when you keep a faded set. Make sure you tell your barber to be mindful each time to make sure your locs remain intact.

I think the best thing to do with your locs if you want that sorta high top look but also wanna go for that full head of hair look I say get a tight taper all around from the back and the sides that way you can wear your hair down and also if you wanna show off that cut you can put it up in a ponytail with diff hairstyles etc.(I have this style )

I actually started mine out very skinny, in the beginning, but eventually, after some years, I wound up cutting out a good handful to combine them at the roots and make them thicker, a complete success, by the way 😁😎👍🏾👍🏾

I’ve had my high top locs since 2018 and they’re now hitting the middle of my back. I always get a low fade or a drop fade that way my barber isn’t really messing to much with the hair that’s close to my locs plus a lower fade just looks more current. As far as styles when they’re longer you can rock different styles but I just two strand twist. All of those other styles promotes thinning at the roots

My full set is finally below my shoulders, but I'm about to go for a hightop style tomorrow, I feel like that style would fit me better make it easier to maintain my locs (although that new growth on the sides is going to be annoying I already know). That crap with pushed back dreads started happening to me😭Before I started getting monthly lineups my dreads started at my hairline, now some of the them are an inch back because of the barbers combing hair out of my dreads for that crispy line. Wish I had known to tell them just to follow my natural hairline.

My hair is just a little bit longer than yours (almost 4 years in as well) but I think I started with more hair. Loving my high-top locs but I did learn how to cut my hair during the pandemic.

Hey TPLOCKS, as usual it’s great to see you☺️your baby girl looks so sweet & has GAWJUS hair like you & your Mum. I must be honest when your hair is down, it does look like the whole head is locked. As you rightly say, for some people a full head, might be too much, I know it would for me as I perspire a lot. I just love having my back & sides shaved, I’ve done this for the last & years & it has given me a lot of freedom, it’s low on maintenance & dare I say I think it’s sexy /edgy. It’s not quite Jada Pinket Smith, but you know what I mean. If you were in the UK people would call you mixed race & call your hair mixed coz it’s very soft. My hair does shrink, even now it’s locked, I must admit I wasn’t prepared for it to do that. But with the aid of your videos & laid back attitudes to your locks, it’s rubbed off on me & that’s the attitude I now have. I know it will get longer & I just gotta be patient & love the journey. I swear you look younger in every video you post. So glad I found your video. 🥰

[@Funnynatee]

Started a full set of dreads 4 years ago and had to cut them due to me twisting them too much and causing a bald spot. Still struggles to grow back till this day so I recently decided to start out with a high top and restart my dread journey instead of going bald every 5 months 😂

I mean I have a lochawk now so I’m gonna between however I did cut the the last back row yesterday, I kinda regret it kinda don’t but I’m gonna let that grow out and attach it to the ones that I already (and just shape up the bottom of it) have but the ones a cut off were so hard to grow and they were so loose compared the rest of my hair that I thought they’d never grow, they probably would if I waited. I still have my shaved sides of 5 yrs, never getting rid of those. I also felt like the bleach (they felt really hard compared to the rest of my locs and some of my thicker ones) in them was just stuck in 2 of the 4 that I cut and I just couldn’t get it out and when wash day came around I was always lazy and tired when it came to wash them since they were in the back of my head.

[@mauricemcghee834]

I started from a temp fade Afro but after awhile my Afro stopped growing and hair was shedding bad so I locked it up and my hair took off I'm going 2years in an this warm weather is speeding up my growth I noticed so I slowed down on using oils but I embrace that side new growth into I find myself twisting it🤷🏿‍♂️

I'm actually thinking about cutting my sides to fit better inside helmets. Full set is such a pain in the ass to get in and out of helmets. Wondering if cutting the sides would make it easier.

[@applesyo]

I’m thinking about doing this, can’t fit helmets or hats if I don’t have a fresh retwist lol

[@sebastienhonorine4024]

[@thereformedrayray]

Man I felt this video. I always say if I had a full head my hair would be down to my a** lol. My high top locs go pass my shoulder to the top of my chest & my cousin grew a whole head and passed me in about 2 years 😡😆

[@escanor7550]

I brush my under cut so I can have waves to show off when my hair is in a pineapple or ponytail

[@August_VeryOwn]
