@Ahmed Parker it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out !
The fact u started locs 5x before settling on these... BEST DECISION!! Thick & free like ur fro but easier... arguably ur best look ever but without as much hassle:) Can't wait to see how big it'll get!!
Giving me Maxine Shaw vibes.
You DO have a gentle father voice oh my gosh that's it exactly lol. Very soothing and relaxing!

I agree hahahah so cute
I went natural in 2014, and locking my hair has been in the back of my mind since 2015. I decided long ago that I was going to loc my hair. It was just a matter of getting to a point I felt I was ready to make the commitment. I started a set back in March 2019, but I wasn't happy with the size and the parting. I also realized that I wasn't really ready, so I took them down. I just finished installing my second set of starter locs a few days, and I got them exactly the way I want them. I'm definitely sticking with it this time.

Oh wow! The part about you finding out about natural hair! But you learned to love your curls despite what you saw and what others said. I absolutely love it! We ALL have beautiful textures and really need to learn to embrace it .
Locs look different on different types/textures of hair. Your locs work so well. They look thick, they look uniform, and they look so good on you!
When you said I can’t wait to go swimming.. I felt that. I know locs will be for me too.
This is crazy. I swear we went to college together. I even recognize the backgrounds on some of your throwback pictures! I found this video cause I'm trying to start locs, too. Yours look great 💗
I’m so here for This! I started my locs because of your beautiful mane!! I’m 4days in!

I’m 51 and have wanted Locs for over 30 years but my fam friends and ex hubby weren’t having it and distracted me from my hearts desire... I went all in and am so thankful! Thank you for sharing your journey

I have been talking about getting locs for YEARS! I have been binge watching your videos and other loc'd women and have decided to start this week. Tonight I'm going to create my grid. Pray for me LOL

I don't know whether it's your voice or whatever, but you are so easy to listen to. I really enjoyed this video and watching your lock journey for the past year and a bit. Keep doing what you're doing, Keke. Loving every minute of it.
Your locks are absolutely beautiful Keke! I started my microlock journey 6 months ago with 150 locks and 6 months later decided to resize some. Tedious taking the few down but now have 165...im satisfied now
Thank you for this video. Locs has been on my mind for years. Very encouraging Sista

I love love your locs! And thinking of starting mine. And you just gave me motivation. Our textures are really similar and how your locs look is exactly how my twist outs look when I take my mini twist down. Glad I ran into your page! You look beautiful by the way😘
You are BEAUTIFUL!! Omg!! And your locs are bomb ! 😍 I loooveeee ittt
Thank you for being so transparent. I used to have locks and took them down about 6 years ago. Relooking has always been on my mind and more so micro locs . I’ve been doing my research and once I get these braids out, I think I’m going to take the leap! Thanks again! Your hair is gorgeous!
I'm considering getting locs, and you make me want them so bad! Your hair is gorgeous!
Think you’ve just inspired me to play in my hair a bit😄 I’ve been thinking of locing my hair for a while but I was afraid it would limit my versatility (and I hate wearing the same style for too long), but seeing how much you can do with yours gives me hope😭 and I love your hair so so much!!
I’m ready this is my sign! You and your Locs are so pretty 😍 😍😍
😂😂 a gentle father voice omgness too funny. Youre hair is amazing, you are beautiful and i do love your voice. I LOVE your smile too. All love❤
I love your energy! I combed out half of my locs two weeks ago. I did the front, and my friend did the back and it was the parts that were not doing it for me! It was actually your video that was my sign to do it! So thank you cause I LOVE them now! ❤️

Thank you for sharing your journey! This is super helpful for me because I am seriously contemplating getting microlocs. I did the big chop 2/14/15 and I love being natural and I loved having it short, mohawk, shaved sides, etc. I do like the fact that with locs, you literally have a permanent hairstyle and I love the versatility of them.
It is so difficult taking care of our hair but u do the hard work and its inspiring and mindblowing to watch. U r resilient 💝 and it's so empowering 💯
You're so beautiful KeKe, you and Lionel ! 🦁 😍
wow! I love this! I need this! you are so beautiful and your hair is firrreee! I've been on the natural journey since 2014 but I gonna go for this...yaay! thank you.
I'm obsessed with your voice lol. Thanks for sharing your journey and all this videos ❤
You look so happy and fulfilled and beautiful with your locs. I want to try them so bad ugh 2021 might be the year, but I’m wary of maintenance 😬
You LOOK more comfortable and confident than the other hairstyles in your past pictures. You’re gorgeous girl!
I love that you said 'if you can't stop thinking about them to go for it'. I have NO idea why its hitting me so hard but I cant stop thinking about locking and this might be the video I needed to push me on over. Thank you for sharing and inspiring! You. Are. BEAUTIFUL. 😊
Sis' you're a bomb! Love your accent, your natural vibe, you're gorgeous... A God's precious gift! Keep up with the good work and thnks for the strenght! 😘
I feel you on those crispy parts 👌👌
She’s just so pretty
Damn! This is my sign to get sister locs idk how many videos I watched of yours. But you convinced this 4c chica to step out 👏🏾
I love crispy parts too!!😭 I put in my twist last week, but I’m going to make them smaller like I usually do. New Subby and love your personality💚
Happy New Year Keke! Yes ma'am im here for it. I'm a little over 2 years into my third journey and I'm loving them. I loved my loose natural hair but i don't see myself without locs.

Omg that gentle father voice was so accurate I love it
Girl!!!!! U speaking my heart!!! I went natural back in 2009 cause I wanted locs but I fell in love with my afro and bleach. I did my own locs back in 2018 ( grab and twist, semi free-form) wasn't feeling cute so I combed them out at my 1 year mark. Now all I wear is a puff. I want micro locs but scared of not liking it and having to chop my hair off
Love your hair-beautiful ❣️ thank you for sharing your journey
Thank you for sharing!!!🙏🏼🤗💚
Your locs look gorgeous I started my second set of locs last year March 17th gonna be a year soon and I’m just loving it I can’t wait for it to grow long so I can do bun styles (I miss them) and other intricate but beautiful styles Lionel definitely flourished wonderfully and I hope that she continues to do so, and also yourself Happy new year to you and Lionel!

you are so pretty...I love your locs. I am an loose natural and I love loc videos. my sister is thinking about locs and I shared your channel with her as well. loved watching your journey. they are perfect!
Your hair looks gorgeous. Enjoyed this video of your natural hair journey to locks.
I'm waaay late to your channel but this video was so helpful to me! Thank you for keeping it real. I want to loc my hair but I'm scared lol I'm mostly concerned about if I do it myself, I don't want to damage my hair to the point of no return but I don't want to spend thousands on a pro. I want mine small for the versatility too. Like you, I don't want my scalp out in these streets lol. This just inspired me more!
Ive been thinking about it for 10 years. I had them done 10 years ago and took them out after 3 days. I hated it. Saw your page today on IG and I love yours. Im ready again and will be doing them myself this weekend.
you and your locs are gorg!
Your locs are perfect!
Love your videos so so SO MUCH!! I've been watching your videos for a few days now. Guess what? I'm in the process of installing braidlocks right now. Whew chile!! The parting has been BEYOND a struggle but since I want those "crispy parts" I'm taking my time and enjoying the journey. My hair is so broken off. But I'm really hoping this loc journey will get it to a better place. I plan on doing a protective style over these because it's just too scraggly to wear just yet. I'll eventually share what you've inspired in me.

Wash days are the reason I’ve been loc’d for 11 years! It took HOURS! LOL! Hearing your journey was wonderful. It mirrors my own. And I am at least 10 years older than you, which just goes to show the commonality of the struggle,
Please make something with your quote "I like my crispy parts!" on it lol. I started locs with extensions on 12/24/2020 after seeing you and Kendra Kenshay post loc videos. I have been wanting them for two years so I finally did it. Love em!
You’re so pretty and your hair is beautiful
Woo lawd. Sis is calling me out... Speaking directly to me. I have been natural since 2007. Tried locs 5 times. Same, commitment issues or it did not turn out the way I wanted them expect the last time when I decided to do them myself but the way my commitment is setup. Thanks for this video.
Absolutely beautiful locs
Your hair is gorgeous! Great job!
I don't know which one is more beautiful, your hair or your smile. 😊😊 *New Subscriber ❤💛
Thank you so much for this video. I now know i want micro locs with interlocking with a two rotation. Now I just need to figure out how to start them. I just started following you on IG. Happy growing Sis.

I got interlocks as well Feb 1, 2021 and I love them more and more every day. They are very versatile and I wanted something smaller as well, as I traditionally locked my hair twice before these and took them gith out like you lol. Thanks for representing us interlocked girls, a lot of people don't know what interlocks are and like to ask me if I have sister locks lol. Sister locks would be way too small for me and I don't like looking griddy. But when they gain hair they are very beautiful. For me interlocks are the perfect size.
Kekeeeee! I've missed you gal! Happy New Year!!! The pic at 3:00 though hahaha
Your hair is so pretty
I took the plunge in June but have been stalking locs for a few years. Best decision I made for my hair since returning to natural state.
hey girl hey, i am here for it. lol My name is Deidre too. I'm loving your hair
Awesome video❤ your energy is perfrct for me.. lol I understand the pain i resently combed out 269 locs in 6 days (3 months old) it was a paaainnn but.. i love my new set
KeKe your so beautiful i love your locs. I been subscribed to you for a long time and I love your realness
