Hang in there Sistah. I am 1.5 years on my journey at 65 yrs. I am loving it. Talk to your crown..let your crown know that you love it. Increase your water intake. I drink milk & seems to me it has helped the growth.

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

Thanks - water I could do better🤣 no milk tho, lactose intolerant.

I’m 22 years locked. The grey is very pronounced now. Can’t wait until totally salt and pepper like yours. I don’t retwist, always hated the “scalpy” look. I just keep them separated because my hair also “marries” very quickly. I’ll keep following you on your journey!

I agree, I just started my journey (66 years old) six days ago.

[@MindsetMary1945]

I just started my braid locs journey and I'm 56 years young. Yes the spacy thing made me feel a bit vulnerable, so I'm going to keep my satin scarf on and my head wrap hat on for a few months to see it's progress, before I do the 'reveal' to my family and friends! Loving the silver look by the way! You Rock! 💗💗💗

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

Ha ha I hear you. and thanks - I am still covering up part of my hair but hopefully in the near future, since I am not retwisting, I can go totally uncovered.

[@denisemccleese3895]

So glad I found you. I am on my third loc Journey. 9 months in at 63 . Never too old for locs. I am doing semifreeform this time.

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

Seems lots of free formers out there. Had no idea!

[@carolward6073]

I'll be 3 years locked in June and 67 years old in August. I started my journey myself in 2020 (cabin fever in the 1st year of covid) with a combination of interlocks, 2-strand twists and braid locs. Currently 100% interlocking (3-4 times a year) and fully salt and pepper/silver. Don't really mind the "scalpy" look after a fresh interlock; it goes away after 2-3 days. I attribute it to age and change in hair texture. Your locs are beautiful and I'm happy to see so many comments from other salt and pepper/silver lockers! I am subscribing; please keep us updated on your journey.😊

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

Thank you and I too and happy to see all the comments and support.

[@gailjohnson2997]

Thank goodness there’s a platform for mature ladies taking the loc journey. I’m four years loced and loving myself more each day, started 2020 having to stay inside covid times, however it’s amazing how much my hair has grown salt and pepper at the crown, shoulder length twist. The grays are really shining through, can’t imagine the resilience to keep coming, 😊but what can I say it’s another beautiful phase The Most High has designed for women. I m staying focused on my journey.

[@tinafuller6589]

This was an awesome loc journey. I am locking in 3 weeks at 61 and cannot wait! Thanks so much! You and your hair are beautiful!

[@reneetaylor2307]

Greetings and thank you for sharing your journey. My hair has been loc'd since 2005, I was 55 and I'm grey. I haven't retwisted for years now. I guess you could say I let it freeform. I never liked that retwisted look so my hair does whatever it wants now.😊 I'm also thinner in the top now(genetics) and less retwisting prevented that "scalpy" look. I'm always happy to see other grey locs. Yours are beautiful and healthy looking an coming along fine. You will start to enjoy them. I will stay tuned. Blessings🙏🏾💕

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

You are welcome thank you for your comment.

[@GB-sd8th]

Sista, your locs look good! I truly enjoyed watching your video. I also had sister locks for years and truly loved them . But, to many retights and the grids got larger and larger. I didn't cut off my 12 year sister locks. I just had them cut short and then combined (braided) 400 down to 52. Now, 20 months later (Jan 2023) I've only had 2 retights ( crochet only), and the spacing is barely showing, I can even add a few more locks with the new growth. So hang in there, your hair will flourish more and more. But it will take patience. God bless you.

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I had a similar # of sisterlocks as you and I have 50 of the new locks. I do think that if you retie sisterlocks ev 6 wks as recommended for 20 yrs (I always went longer LOL) in the end it can be too much for your hair and add to thinning. Also my reties always gave me a headache and because I am tender headed I never really complained. Just went home and took a Motrin. Now I know I should have said something. Oh well - I have learned now, and we shall see how I do this time around.

[@WovenPsalm]

Lovely locs! It may be fuller if you stop retwisting and separate when washing instead. I am happy your channel showed up in my feed. You are inspiring. Happy journeying! 😊

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

Thanks for you comment. Would love to NEVER retwist LOL but I don't retwist that often really. I'm almost 2 1/2 yrs in now. Professionally about twice a year however with fine hair I was told better to keep those hairs in the loc or the loc will get too thin and fall out so in the front I do light twist about once on month oney on selected locs.

[@uniquechild68]

loc'ing for my 57th birthday in 3 months...looking forward to the new journey 💕

[@paris6378]

Well, I am 60 years old and started my 2nd journey of loc on my salt and pepper with a little brown. I went 4 years with the first locs journey and they grew in the middle of my back. These will be permanent this time because the locs were for me. I am going into my second month... loving the journey.

[@cwalloe1]

So happy to find your video, I had dreads for 22 years, cut them off about 3 years ago, because I didn’t like the scalpy look either, so about 4 months ago I started new ones, my hair is totally gray and texture is not curly anymore, after seeing your video and seeing you having the same concerns I have I’ve decided I’m going to keep them, thank you!

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

Wow! I love your hair! I just recently started micro Locs and so far I absolutely love them! I wore Faux Locs for about five years and decided after that long I might as well Loc my own hair! It’s so nice to see mature women, online with Locs! And one day, I will stop dying my hair, and let the silver come out as soon as I get used to these Locs. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

Yes we will form a "Silver Sage Loc Tribe" LOL Of course you have to let your hair go gray before you can be a part!!!😛

[@RobinNatural1]

Absolutely beautiful! Looking forward to watching your journey progress. Love that you’re going to be semi freeform. You will definitely see a difference. I stopped using any oil and it makes a difference, hair is still soft and healthy. Just keep the locs separated. Blessings!

I really enjoyed this - subbing! I started my locs with 2ST in 2015, now I’m 62 and loc’d 8 years. I am looking forward to my silvers continue to take over my locs…will probably trim them at year 10 (if I can wait that long!)😉 Will share this, too!

Locked for 3yrs @ 61 as of yesterday. Just wish I started sooner. I put 162 braids on my head and never looked back. I maintain my hair by doing 2 point rotation.

[@barbarapeller]

I am 66 and started my loc journey six days ago. I watched a LOT of videos before starting and I have to say, I will listen to most but I am following my own path. Because my hair and scalp are extremely dry, I will continue to use my Shea Butter receipt with conditioner, Aleo Vera juice, rosemary water, and oils as I have been doing for the past four or five years and my hair and scalp love it, my hair grew to waist length. I will also continue to mist my hair daily with Aleo Vera, rosemary water, and oils. I think I will do my first retwist in six to eight weeks, I have very fine dense hair and don't like seeing the scalp either. I didn't part my locs, I only use my fingers to do the parting and I am happy I did them this way because very little scalp is showing. Because my hair is so long, I am not looking forward to the shrinkage lol! But I understand it is part of the journey. I love your salt and pepper hair and I agree, each person needs to do what is best for them, follow their own mind, and listen to their own hair for no two are alike, good luck on your journey, and thanks for sharing.

Your Crown is Beautiful ✌🏾Good idea to reduce retwisting, I stopped completely at 3 months, that’s what thins out the hair... I mist mine every morning and late afternoon, (and if I need to) gently separating them while they’re wet... regarding how much water you need, listen to your hair...

I am 63 years old and May 29, 2023, will be 4 years dreadlocks ( there is a biographical book regarding Bob Marley, "Catch A Fire") Dread is upon those seeing the dreadlocks. Sorry, I got off topic, I only knew of Shimmering Lights but I was warned not to let it stay in too long as it will leave you with purple hair. Last year I searched for a violet-based shampoo (I think the name is Purple or Blue Shampoo). It "cleanses to brighten your hair". However, I just found out about Cantu Yellow out. I will try next week when I wash my dreadlocks.

[@silversistahsnaturalgrayha5066]

@@BonitaSPerry Thank you. Looked up the book. Do you recommend it??? I like Bob Marley but have never read a book about or one by him. Also thanks for the shampoo tip. I will check it out. I have been using Pantene purple shampoo as I gave up Shimmering Lights about 4 yrs ago when I still had my Sisterlocks. I only use Pantene periodically. I make it a habit of not using any other products that are dark, like Jamaican Black Caster Oil - I only use the clear castor oil. I have never had any purple color remain in my hair altho I just might like it if it did LOL BTW I follow a reggae group called Katchafire.
