I started my journey May 6th 2021

I’m new to the Loc community about a month in with 1 retwist. I totally understand your insecurities. I love your hair and I can’t wait till mine grow a bit myself and I no I should love the stage I’m in and I’m trying to do that.

This video came at the right time. A LOT of insecurity. My locs are so short and prior to locing, I stayed with waist length protective styles. I felt like a goddess. The frizz, the awkward length. Everything you’ve said it what I’m feeling lol.

It’s so cool how the coils go from this tight and tiny to expanded locs. I’m in the faze right now of starter coils and I loved watching your photos I know every ones journey is different but I’m excited to see mine at this faze. My hair was about the same length and density with coils as your images but again I’m excited to see my outcome from my journey thank u for the vid.

Our hair is magical.

COME ON LOC JOURNEY!! I loved every second of this

Started mine because I got bored of the loose hair, like you I compared mine to others, and it sometimes stole my joy. But I grew to understand everybody’s hair is different, and that’s a great thing. Your hair is amazing, keep it fun, the “ugly” parts get easier with time at least for me. Best of hair health to you! 🙏🏽❤️💙

Congratulations ! I love the fact that your honest about the ups and Downs of the locs ! The frizz and the length definitely played a big role into why people may decide to take theirs down. Thanks ! I will definitely keep part with you and your journey!! Thanks 🧡💜

Ok that’s it you just gave me enough courage & strength to start my journey. Thank you so much. Your locs are beautiful & so are you💙🙏🏽

Ong!!! I have finally found my loc journey twin!!! I know your video is 2 months old and you’re a few more months in, but I’m currently at 6 months!! I stories aren’t almost identical right down to the hair texture! I just need to get my color, which I was told to wait a year! I have so much gray and that color , I believe , will boost my confidence! I want nutmeg or some dark burnt orange! Thanks for sharing!! I swear I’ve been looking through so many videos and never saw one story close to mine! Phew!! Keep sharing! A sister could use the support! Your hair is beautiful by the way!🥰

Do you plan on re coloring your roots? Or are you going to let it grow out? Kinda scared of the short phase but your hair texture is perfect for it 😍

Can you also upload a one year.

Your intro is so cute and unique by the way! Nice video 👏🏾. I post loc content on my channel too. 🌻

How many locs do you have? I have 63 and i was very discouraged about the amout. I exactly 3 weeks in with the comb coil method. My hair is fine, soft and very curly especially at the root as well as thin around the right side of edges. 🤦🏾‍♀️ i have retangle parts and I'm going to back and restart with square parts

@planetkia5201

Hey!! So I have roughly 120 locs! What's making you discouraged about your locs? I also have very fine, soft, and curly hair, which I was also nervous about getting 120 locs because I didn't think they'd thicken up enough to look right, but I was SOOOO wrong! I have a few locs that are thin around my edges also! Black castor oil helps a ton!! Well I hope with this new set of locs you get what you really want!! 🤍

I’m roughly 2 months and 2 weeks into my Starter loc journey . I have about 73 locs kind of nervous that’s not enough

@planetkia5201

2 жыл бұрын

I had this same thought too when first getting mine! Just google "73 locs" and look at the ways the locs look. I sometimes look at my head (roughly 120 locs) and still think I should've gotten more. BUT after googling what 120 locs look like over time I know I made the right decision! 🌱🤍

Update please!!!

Noooo don't think like that! I did the big chop for the 2nd time last year in June so my was still really short when I started my locs! It'll make you appreciate that journey a lot more! And there's always protective still you can do until you achieve the length you want!

Lol... I was looking for this comment 🙊

I used to think every black person should get locs but I forgot how anti black the community really is. I don’t think some of you guys need to get locs. Y’all hate type 4 hair, frizz, short hair. Basically anything that isn’t loose curly and close to yt as possible. I think most of you guys need to stick to the wigs and the aesthetic that you actually love. It’s so depressing to want videos of people talking about their journey only for them to put there insecurities and shame onto an already anti black space.

I think it is refreshing to hear our true hair journeys. We all have insecurities, I am sure this will help those feelings the same way to embraced their hair anyway. I don't think it is a hate of "4 hair", she is explaining the difference between wearing naturally curly hair and the transition from the finger coil to locking. I applaud 👏🏾 the openness and her truth. Please be excited for her embracing this transition not depressed.🤗
