nah, he has a curly 3a/3b hair texture so of course it’s gonna loc. The only textures that won’t naturally lock is 1A-2C because it’s too straight.

I love how you didn't try to sell us any hair products you the real deal!

Very relatable for me, I used to have a head full of curls and the maintenance would kill me. It just was too much but having short hair wasn’t for me either. Other than spirituality that really drew me to start free forming ! Best decision I’ve made for my hair !

I love the energy man. I’m happy I found your channel

Good to see some actual freeform locs. You look very handsome! I have straight hair and have been freeforming for a couple of years.

I needed to see this bro. Just started free-form & going back & forth about it in my head. I love my hair & gonna enjoy the process.

9:54 bro i know what you mean but all your pics you looked sharp homie. I think its just our mind fighting against what we grew to believe were societal norms."You're supposed to look like this, dress like that, talk like this"; all these stipulations conservative society says you have to be and look like.

I'm so glad I found your channel..I just cut my dreads but wanna get back in the game. With your inspiration I'm def gon have great locs 🔥

amazing locs. I recently cut off my manipulated locs of 2 years. will be going completely freeform. excited to see what hair naturally does on its own.

Your locs are dope I liked your video and subscribed. My hair is thick and starting to freeform into locs again. I had long freeform locs, but cut them off because I wasn't taking care of them by not washing them. Now I'm taking good care of my hair and letting it do its own thing. I just wash and go, eat healthy, drink plenty of water, get sunlight. I also just got done using rain water on my hair yesterday and day before yesterday, and now my hair is looking better than ever. My grandma be saying to me that my hair don't look right because I'm letting it freeform. She wants me to get the twisted locs, and I tell her, "I'm trying to be myself I'm not trying to be like everyone else." Anyway awesome video man.

Awwwn, you look so happy with your hair thats super cute!!

amazing locs man, i love to see more guys with curly hair freeforming. When i started is was hard to find people with hair similar to me

Beautiful locs!! I completely relate to a lot of your experiences. Female freeformer here. With the super coarse hair you mentioned. I’m 5 years in and sometimes I’m still like yikes I look crazy 😅. But like you said, this is what I signed up for. And I’m in it for life! Great video! Keep going and growing!

Nice locs! People said the same thing to me when I first began my loc journey. They said it wouldn't loc with my hair type but it loc'd. Others asked why I did this because I had "good" hair, I corrected them by saying I still do, lol. I also have bad hair days and then other days it looks really good but that just how hair is anyway. But yeah, keep rockin it!

2:54 same bro that's why corn rows were so cool to me for so long but when I saw some of the rastas especially the dude with 15+ foot locs and how clean they got I knew that's what I had to do. Plus it's Natural. You can't beat natural.

Needed to hear this! 💫

Dope journey my dude, inspirational fo sho! Can't wait to start mine! Gotta finish this military enlistment first, 3 more years left!

This is the most honest video with my literal hair texture I have ever seen. All the other ones have had something done. This is the most honest. I have type 3b/3c and it's 4 months. This is exactly what it's closest to looking like. I love that no one will have my hair tho so there are some differences. definitely subscribed.

i,like your locs Bro

I know u did air quotes indicating the inaccuracy of the term "good hair" but just hearing the term dropped my spirits. Curl patterns range from "tightly "coiled curls" to "loose curls" to waves. All types are "good". Your hair falls under "loose curls". So what your people meant to say was, "Your curl pattern is too loose to loc" But any hair type can loc 😉. Pls use the term "loose curl pattern" instead of "good hair" ❤ Great vid! Nice locs!

@@ParadiseJones Yes king. I was clear that you were referring to what other people were saying. I watched your video with my 12 year old daughter who has kinky curly hair and wants thick locs like yours. She asked me, "What did the people mean by his hair is too good to loc?" Explaining what they refered to as good hair inherently meant teaching her that they consider her hair bad. That didn't feel good for both of us. That's why my spirit dropped. If you had just said people thought your hair was too straight to loc you would have made the point without the negative. Sharing in love because I know you are positive❤ You are a cutie patootie and your locs are FIRE! Peace and blessings❤

Is it possible that people can get freeforms with single box braids as well or two strand braids? I heard it's deffo possible

When u decided to start freeforming did ur hair unravel when you sleep or when you were washing it?

Not a single sign of any locs coming in so its really frustrating, I look like a homeless dude and nothing is happening... Is there something I'm doing wrong ?!..
