I just counted my locs and I have 127!! 😄🙌🏾

Started my locs 2 days ago!! I’m so happy lol

Im three weeks in my loc journey and this video really helped me learn new things & also stopped me from just taking my twists out lol. Ive been contemplating about taking it out or leaving it in because im so impatient but i also wanna see my journey and how far ive come, I also struggle with low self esteem & self love/confidence so i decided to start my locs (i hated my natural hair😅), NEW SUBBIE ! ❤️

I’m so glad this video could encourage you! Girl I was impatient too!! I had to just ignore them for a year!! Lol I can relate with the struggle of knowing your worth. Do you have a relationship with Christ? If I can tell you anything that’s of any value at all it would be that Jesus literally helped me to see my true identity and is always helping me to know my worth. We’re not valuable because of our looks, but just because he loves us. It’s real odd to accept that because of all the things we go throw in life, but it’s true. I’m soooo glad you’re a part of La Familia!! I’ll be praying for you beautiful 💛

Loc gang I’m 2 years and almost 2 months in loving it so far ❤😊

Hello! I’m so glad you enjoy this video! Yes, I believe God has not given us a Spirit of fear, so we are more than able to make sound decisions, even one’s we will commit to. Like I said in the video, most times we’ve already thought about it for a while. I really hope you make the leap and find yourself falling in love with your decision 💛 Thank you soooo much for your support!

Жыл бұрын

Wonderful! It depends on your hair texture, but typically if you don’t mess with it between 2-5 months it should be loc‘d. If you really have fine hair or really soft hair it may take 9 months. The key is to get it retwisted once a month and not to touch it too often within the first few months

@@tajanelchinyere Great thanks for your reply. I have a 4 C , not fine at all. So what’s the difference between locking and retwisting? Do these mean same thing? 🤣🤣sos cause you mentioned it get loc’d within 2-5 months, Is it by it self or I must have it crochet? then you said retwist it every month ideally so I got confused.
