Your locs are beautiful! It looks like you have well over 440 locs. Your locs are very full.

Thank you!! My locs in the back are bigger, so it gives that illusion that its more than it is. But I need to recount to double check lol
Beautiful hair! Finally found someone who has pretty much the same exact amount of locs as me. I have 330 micro twists. I started them in April of this year, I can’t wait till mine are as long as yours, but I am enjoying the process more and more each day, Carefree

Love this video. Just found you on Instagram and decided to check out your vids. I started my journey with braid locs sisterlocs were to expensive for my length as well. My loctician offered braid locs at a significantly less cost and I jumped on it. She installed 312 braids I now have 307 locs after having to combine a few. I love them

Love this. I’m new to following you but I look a your hair and I live that you self-installed your locs. I go back and forth about whether or not I want to start mine myself (to save money and allow myself time to do stuff while they get installed) or going to a professional, but I’m definitely trying to get lox’s this year. I never considered braid locs until I saw yours. Did you experience a lot of shrinkage with braids?
@keshia1390
2 жыл бұрын
Thank you!! I did experience shrinkage, but not a lot. When I started my braidlocs, my hair was shoulder length stretched. When I washed it, they shrunk to about chin length.
Thanks for the info

Your hair is beautiful and full! Is there a reason why you chose the 3 point rotation vs. The 4 point?
@keshia1390
3 жыл бұрын
Thank you!! Yes I chose the 3pt because it gives a more full looking loc vs the 4pt
Your hair is gorgeous. I’m headed this way. If I start with micro braids can I do the three point process, rather than take them out every eight to ten weeks?
Do you think a looser braid pattern will lock faster than a tight one? I'm talking about the plait itself not the grid.

Hello, when you started your locs did you use the overhanded or underhanded braiding method? I will be starting braidlocs soon. Thank you in advance, for reading and responding to this question.

This is how I want my braids locs to mature. I don't want them to end up getting fat, thick, and frizzy. How did u keep them looking thin and neat like this?
@keshia1390
2 жыл бұрын
Part sizes play a role in how thick your locs might get. I tried to have parts that were about 1/4 inch and a little smaller than that in the front. My locs do have frizz, but I think wearing a scarf at night helps. I think also interlocking plays a role with the size and frizz
At what point in your journey did you do you first retightening? Did you part each section? Do you have a “grid”?
@keshia1390
10 ай бұрын
I retightened after 8 weeks. I separated each section with my hands. I have my own unique grid since I did them myself. Not perfect but it's mine lol
Did you experience a lot of shrinkage with you braid locs? I once started with mini twist and the shrinkage was insane!

Yes I did. My hair was shoulder length when I started my locs. When I washed them though, they shrunk to chin length.
Hi, first.... I love your hair. My question is how did you do your parting, especially in the back? My hair is to my butt and I want to start my loc journey but I don't want to cut my hair nor do I want to spend $2,000 + to get it done. If you don't mind could you help me get started with my hair?

Thank you! I'm hoping to get a video up soon explaining how I installed mine. Hopefully that will help with your question. Honestly I just tried my best in the back and got help from my mom to double check my parts.
Is that shampoo good with color too?
Did you experience bunching in your locs? If so, how did you deal with that?

Congrats on your braidloc journey! I actually still deal with scalp itching from time to time so I'm no expert . I personally try to wash every 1-2 weeks to help me with that. I know some people use rose water on their scalp as well. Rose water has helped me some too. I washed my hair every week in the beginning and retightened after 8 weeks.
