“Tired of wondering what’s the next hairstyle” wow you took the words right out of my head because that’s exactly how I feel right now 😅

I am a natural hair cosmetologist who has been working with locs for 10 months now. I love the fact that you educate your clients. I am that way as well. I have had to repair so many locs because of the lack of education people did not receive from their loctician. It's pretty sad. I am so glad to see a video with explanations. Many blessings and much success to you!!!!

Education is actually more important to me than styling locs! It is really my passion, so thank you for seeing that and supporting! 💕

The lifestyle question is soooooooooo important!!!! I thought about it for years when I was at a company that wouldn't have been favorable to the early growth and changes that locs go through.....to the point where I got a new job in the hair care/beauty industry so I could go through my journey unbothered. Now, I'm a few weeks in, with all it's fizzy glory, alllllll up in the Zoom calls and it is the best decision I EVER made!!

🙌🏾 good to hear!

My loc's are now 17 months old (the teenage stage). I'm having fun with them 😊 I have been going to a location every two months but this time I'm waiting 3 months. I have not really tried to retwist my own hair. I have a nice amount of new growth. I have ordered the interloc tools. I used the whole line of products from Loc God by Nia in New York (also I used Jojoba, coconut, and vitamin E oils). I'm proud of my loc's now. I am 68 and they mingle grey. Just Royal. I like the way you explain how to care for them myself. I need your help to keep me going on my 2 year commitment. I know I will go longer with your help. 👑🌹👑

I've been thinking of starting locs for awhile now. Your video definitely helped me make up my mind. This was very helpful, thanks for sharing.

Love this video. I’m a Licensed Master cosmetologist who offers retwists and starter locs services. I just started my loc journey yesterday. I was weary about how I would look with locs, tried coils 20 years ago but I have 2b in the front so it didn’t work out back then. I grew tired of wearing weaves & braids & wanted to give it another shot. This time I chose the two strand method. Your video was very informative as it reassured me that this is the way to go.

Love your channel! You are exactly the locktiction my daughter is looking for! Will be reaching out soon to make an appointment/consultation. 💜👏🏿

so happy i found you! i’ve decided after doing a big chop on my hair a few years ago that now’s the time to try something new & get locs since i’m growing my hair out. your videos have been really helpful so far, and i would love a vid on sizing. i wish you lived in my area so i could go to you to get started, but oh well 😭

I've watched 3 of your videos back to back and I find yiur page very informative. You've answered some of my questions plus given me more to consider. I'll be tuning in regularly as I embark on my journey 🥰

I am ready to come to you right neooow . Based off of your videos you have all of the qualities in a loctician that I am looking for to start my journey😩🤌🏾😮‍💨🥰 I appreciate you educating your audience 👏🏾

I'm in love with the videos you have posted and I am glad to have come across them. I just started my loc journey about a month ago but I already have some dandruff build up and quite frankly have always struggled with it on my 4C hair and have tried so many different approaches but I'm still kinda stuck and need help on keeping my scalp looking clean throughout this journey. Ugggh please help, TIA!

i had dreads for a little bit but took them out. i’m just educating myself further before i loc it up this weekend. i trust no one with my hair, ill be doing it myself

I love how you communicate with your clients

I am glad I found you looking to start my loc journey. Searching for a loctician in my city as we speak.

Thank you for this video! Super helpful. Yes please do a vid on various loc sizes!

I want to start locs on my gray hair...love them I think that my lifestyle will fit great for this style,trying 2 strand twist soon.

Thank you for this amazing video you are giving us all the teas to a great locs journey and healthy hair ❤️❤️😘😘

Thank you for this video! I’m thinking of getting locs and this was helpful.

Amen!!!! Thank you so much for this video… I wish I would’ve found you before I started mine but you still gave me everything I needed! I’ve been loc’d for 7 months, started with relaxed ends that I would curl. I workout alotttttt and didn’t realize it was the sweat unraveling them! I cut most of the relaxer off today and started interlocking them! This little tool is not for the faint… my fingers are on fire 😔

Yes! Thank you for your advice. I'm 30 days in and I am loving this journey! Don't give up 💫🤞🏽🔒💜

Thank you for this, I've recently decided I want to begin my own loc journey. I'm kinda sure on the parts I like but I'm open to all information, kindly speak more on the methods of starting locs esp 'instant locs'. I'm trying to avoid any gel or wax or anything that causes buildup but still have a nice stable foundation for my locs.

I'm debating on starting locs so this was very helpful.

I started my son's with interlocking and I absolutely love it! He's 4 years in and so cute and easy to maintain. I'm thinking about restarting my journey, when I started it I had the coils because my hair is really soft and curly and I really didn't like it. I'm thinking two strand twist with interlocking to restart.

Thank you for your knowledge. I'm still in the decision phase but about 80% in favor of getting locks. Hoping to find a decent loction.

Thanks For Helping me with this. I'm thinking about this new journey. My hair came out a when I became ill 5yrs ago and now I'm trying to see how I can start it to grow back with using my own hair. But this video helped me to figure out some ways ☺️ to start if I wanted to try.

My beloved thank you for another excellent video so much information. 🥰

Hi Courtney Grayton..what advice you can give for someone that have started their loc journey and they had a little perm left on the ends to help maintain it daily such as what oils and how long will it take for the perm hair to look like the natural hair...any advice would help thanks!

What’s the best thing to use when starting Locs, example bees wax , gel etc ?

My hair is broken in the front.. thinned out .. I colour my hair myself and then I do the twist…I am open to learning…to visit twice per year..

So true. I have been my own Loctician. Is hard to find a Loctician who is honest

Thank you Courtney, what do you recommend type of lock for people who have receding hair?

Thank you so much for these videos! I’m hoping to start my locs very soon and on my own. For the two strand twists, do they need to be twisted a certain way? Like clockwise etc?

Standard is to the right!

Great video thank you. I am thinking about getting locks because i think it will be more practical and will give better hair days. I have curly hair but my hair is thin though healthy. I talked with a loctitioner and she recommended hair extentions, which i do not want at all. I do not want a glamour look, just a easily styled natural hair that can be maintained by home products. Do you think extentions are necessary or is it because of the hype, she was recommending it? Also I am 48, and need to color the roots in every 3 weeks,, which i started doing myself at home during covid. Now I learnt that using conditioners can detangle the locks, so what should i do after the dyeing the hair?

I'd love to hear about the different sizes to start with. My boyfriend want locs and I plan on doing them for him. So any tips would help for a beginner loctcian. (By the way I have 0 knowledge in locs just learning for him possibly a hobby. I want to be good at it though not just doing it to do it.)

Loved you advice. Wish you were closer.
