I'm a month in and so far I love but there are days when I feel less confident bc of rude/cruel comments by the ppl around me. It's painful and discouraging. Many ppl don't understand the loc process and how it works but there's no way I'm giving up. Thanks for sharing your beautiful Journey💙

I was getting negative comments at first as well. I was asked, why am I getting them? I need to get my hair done. Those little twisty things are gonna be cute? (Some of these were from my mom. 😂😂😡) Now, they all want locs. I'm 9 months in. It definitely strengthen my confidence.

I know we're talking about your locs, but babyyyy, you're make up looks so good in all these pictures 😍😭

I started so short that your month 12 length is my 28 month length. I had s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s of months that just looked crazy! The journey is definitely a part of it. Sis we are all getting there!

I'm cannotget enough of this video. I come back to you time and time again! You offer guidance , support, experience,truth and love throughout your journey which pours over into your followers! Thank YOU for authenticity and life relevance!

I watched this video months ago just starting out myself, now I’m 11 months into my journey! Hardest part is not comparing my locs to others at the same stage.

Ok two months into my Loc journey. I want healthy locs before length. Healthy locs equals growth 🌱. And if you don’t pay attention to your hair I feel like it makes the time go by faster lol in no time you’ll notice the growth. I can’t wait to see what else my journey has in store

I’m almost 6 months and my ends have sealed and I feel more confident in wearing it out. Honestly I never style it much because I just love how it looks out on its own. Though there are FEW moments where I don’t feel as confident but I just look at myself and be like “SIS YOU ARE FINE”

Beautiful! I’m almost to 3 mths loc’d. I’m loving it so far 🌱

Chanel G I started with oil and water, you can use a touch of gel but it’s not necessary. I used two strand twists and retwisted every two weeks until they got longer. Now I retwist once a month

Hi Dae, I'm on my second set. I had Locs for 6 years. Due to mild alopecia, I had to cut them off. I got treatments for my scalp from a dermatologist. After 4 months, I started praying over my scalp and watching KZread videos regularly on how to care for alopecia. I was amazed at how my scalped healed and my hair grew back. No more itching, burning or soreness... I decided to start my Locs again in April of this year. Although I had a low cut, I had enough to do two strand twist. So glad I did. My locs are short, very short, but locking really good due to my kinky kinky hair texture. Your locks are beautiful and I love the size. I had to make mine smaller, because my hair isn't as thick as before the alopecia... Thanks for the inspiration. You are a "💎" gem!

Love it! I'm 6 months in loc'd and I'm trying to trust in this process. It's not easy. Your videos are so helpful.

I love this video because you are keeping it real. Your locs are beautiful and so are you. You didn’t struggle for nothing. Your struggle was to help others like me along the way. Stay blessed 🙌🏽

I have been waiting for this video. Finally!!! I am Currently 11 months in and next month will be my 1 year loc journey I won't lie there were times I wanted to give up after finding your channel I was just happy to see someone with similar locs like mine so thank you so much for sharing your journey with us and congratulations on reaching 1 year Sending love from South Africa.

Hey beautiful so nice to see you💕You have help me so. Made me feel like I could do it. I'm thankful I found you I'm 7 months in and I feel good about my journey so far. Thank you for everything💕

Yayyy!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Beautiful flourishing journey!! I’ve taken still pics of my locs every month but now I regret not capturing video as well 😒 I had to save this video so I can keep watching and stay encouraged!

I love how you presented each month. That was great.. you are beautiful. I’m 3 months in and enjoying my local. Thanks for sharing your loc journey with us.

Thank you SOOO MUCH for this video of your journey! I love your commentary during the slide show. It made it so much easier to understand your loc process. I'm starting mine and this was so helpful!! And your eyebrow game is sick hun😉 luv em'

I love this video. It’s showing me the up’s and downs of how my journey will be.!I’m so excited for my journey and I will have to refer to this video if I get frustrated. I have a protective style now and trying to grow out my sides and back because it’s shaved, but for now I’m going to watch these videos and learn as much as I can. I am a new subscriber

I have to admit I really appreciate your testimonials. Your delivery was honest.. You expressed feelings were exactly what someone who committed to dread Locs could feel. Ty

Your locs have flourished.... Yes for me it was in my 7-8 Months is when i started seeing the change... It was locking for real... Thanks for sharing

Not even halfway through and this video is giving me second-hand confidence! Thank you

Today makes one week. I know my journey is gonna be unique, fun and interesting. You give me so much hope❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing your Loc journey. I’m in my 4th month journey, and I’m loving it. This is my second time around also. I love all your tutorials

This is the best loc journey I've seen. Thank you for being so transparent.

Month 3 has tested my patience more than ever but I do see the difference as I go month to month..... Yur kind words and videos help me and a lot of others push through the different stages of our own loc journey.... Happi 1yr locaversary🎉🎊

Thank you for not giving up ❤️ your hair is lovely

Girllll!!! You are absolutely gorgeous and you looked confident from day one! I love the journey and want to say thank you for your informative video. 🥰❤️🙌🏾

I've been watching your videos since the beginning, I'm 4 months in and HONEY lol. Happy to see you flourishing

You're hair from month one to now is gorgeous! You're so beautiful. You're make-up is on point in all of your photos. It's so good to know that you have a Boaz that supports you!!! Thanks for the photos & honesty of how you felt during your progess, it helps a lot. I'm starting my dreads this month. I'm so nervous!

Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm four months in and it's because of you. I value your videos because I actually trust myself with my locs, to maintain and retwist them myself instead of going to a loctician. You are an inspiration. Keep shining for Jesus.❤️

Happy locaversary, sis. 😊 Your journey is one of the realest I've been following. I'll be 8 months on the 23rd and I still have my days but not as much as month 5 lol. My hair hangs for a longer period of time and I even did an ACV rinse... yeah. I had buildup even without using products. I guess I wasn't washing them well enough. Anyhoo, I'm seeing more length as it drops and I think about them a lot less now. This video is giving me strength.

Happy Locaversary!🎉🎈You and your locs are beautiful. 😊

I thank you for sharing your dread journey. I'm on the journey myself & your style tips are needed sis 💜

I'm in tears as I watch this. I'm so glad I stumbled on this video. I had an afro as well which I loved but my spirit was screaming that this wasn't me at all. After much prayer and consideration, I took the plunge almost a week ago. My sister did it for me as she is loc'd 8 years and counting. It's styled like yours !! I'm so nervous about the journey, wondering what I will look like, the phases etc. It's seems the same mantra is being repeated by so many loc sisters including my own sister which is ...Trust the process. It's your own marathon not a spirit. Thank you for this video. It is the most encouraging video I've watched this far.

Soo glad i found you right at the beginning of my loc journey. I kinda started this journey quite randomly and with very little information. I was starting to think that I will look like a little homeless boy for the next few years till there's length to make it 'pretty', until now. Now I know i can have itty bitty locs AND make them cute myself while I wait for length. Keep posting sis. Also you are absolutely gorgeous and I love what a wifey you are lol. Love from South Africa.

your video gave me confident in my new journey of locks im in my 3-4 months rough stage by looking at your video gave me a positive vibe im having problems with my ends.

Awe and congratulations to you for making it to 1 year. I just met 3 months on July 5th and in a lot of my baby locs I can feel a loc forming. I've had budding since month 2 but the hair was still felt soft and what I knew my hair to feel like. Now in a few locs in the middle are hardening up and feeling different from what I am used to. I've never felt a loc although many people in my life have or have had locs. I can't wait to make it to a month where my retwist stays And I start getting some length. I have 4c hair and it normally shrinks but this shrinkage now is ridiculous. But I feel good about it because obviously my hair is doing what it needs to to become a loc. I'm so excited. I can't wait to hit 12 months. Congratulations again
