Hey girl, can you do a video on naturally thin hair, I haven’t loc’d my hair yet and I’ve been considering it. However to achieve the size she has (pencil size) I would only be able to do about 15 locs as my hair strands are thin and my hair it self isn’t thick either.

I'm a teacher with locs, 5 years in. Thick and disrespectful! I have a Master's in Early Childhood Education..went on every interview with my beautiful locs. Every student I've ever taught or come across has been in love with my hair and say they wish theirs was like mine. Fuck "professionalism" it's a made up construct!🤟🏽😝

Happy Nurses Week! I wear my locs, my head wraps, whatever I want, and my patients love them and me.

OMG. All you professional Queens and Kings got me screaming with joy over here. I'll be doing a video dedicated just for all my professional subscribers

I'm a produce clerk at a grocery store. They hired me with my locks and been at this job for 9.5 years. I have been on my lock journey since 2008. Bamm!

Wait. People still saying locs unprofessional in the year of our Lord 2021? 😒. I've had my 4th (and last) set of locs for almost 3 years. I'm Licensed Clinical Social Worker and work for local government. I started my first set of locs 20 years ago and I've always had "professional" jobs. I even rock headwraps.... Never had an issue. People really need to get it together.. S/N... I remember growing up it was our own Caribbean people that sometimes had theeeee worst things to say abt locs...🤦🏾‍♀️smh!! Great job as always Yannie!! Her locs are beautiful and thickalicious!

Never had an issue getting a job. Costume designer. Grew locs from 1987. I'm tall. They reached below my knees, I cut a foot and half from my length, and my locs grew back like it was possessed. I freed them after 28 years, my hair is always natural. New set of locs in place and I'm excited for this new journey. Bliss and Blessings to all. ❤

I’ve been loced since 1999. I’ve earned 2 degrees, been a teacher and am now in k8 administration. My locs aren’t going anywhere and they haven’t prevented me from succeeding in anything.

I am a Bus Operator been driving professionally since 2003 ( School bus, Tour bus, Public bus ). I am also a certified Para Professional Mental Health Worker. I been rocking my locs 3 yrs and 7 mos and still going strong. Thank you Yannie for your knowledge on loc's. P.S.

8years loc'd and I'm an Electronic Technician. Had mad new growth during the interview.....now I'm a tech2.

Big up to all the professionals with locs! I have had quite a few locced professional friends over the years. I'm only 4 years in my journey, but was often told that I'm a rasta at heart. Rastas (with their PhDs) have mentored me for years, no decades! How could I forget! My daughter is "a doctor with locs"!

I'm a mental health professional who works with neurodivergent children and I've been growing my locs since March of 2020. Initially, I was sensitive about my hair but, when a kiddo in one of the groups I work with saw my hair, he shouted joyfully that we were twinsies. That moment showed me that representation in professional settings truly matters. And, because of that, these locs ain't going nowhere!

Been locced for 10 years +. I am a psychologist and I live in England. I have always worked clinically and I have only ever had positive comments about my hair. Yannie one day I shall come all the way over there for you to bless this beautiful crown of mine! Love your beautiful hair Kings and Queens, it's your God given crowning glory !!

I have been on my loc journey for 17 months. I am a medical assistant. I watch your videos all the way from texas.

Got my government job with my locs. Currently at home because of covid. Did Carnival in 2018 and planned on coming back for 2021. Hopefully the world can get back to some sort of normal in the future. I miss doubles and bake & shark. Signed a 🇯🇲 that loves 🇹🇹🥰

I'm such a huge fan! Your voice is so soothing and you always give such sage advice. I am only 3 weeks into my loc journey but you continue to inspire me :), love from Paris, France xxx

Peace Yanni! I've been locd since '99 and a RN since '06. I wear my locs proudly and wrap my crown while on the job! Love your channel! Bless up💜

I can't wait for my locs to start being disrespectful, for now it is too obedient. 😩

I am a older person who started locs because my natural hair was a short dry mess. I am a case manger and a Rehab therapist. I've never had any negative comments about my locs. I follow Yannie and everything she tells us is true. Thankful for her lessons

Thank you Yannie for all your great advice on locs . It is because I follow you why I have beautiful locs I had to tell my hair dresser some tips from you

Hi Yannie! I’m a registered Mammography Technologist with 13 years experience. Iv been growing my Locs for over 4 years now and I get so many compliments on them.. funny thing is, I get the compliments when my Locs are over a month old from retwisting. I love my Locs! 🎉

I'm a retired healthcare worker from Penn Medicine in Philly. I started my locs after being there for 5 yrs in 2005. Still have my locs 2021.

Much Respect to the Ancestors!!!! I just love your videos and your attitude about locs. i am coming up on 3 years in my loc journey. I am proud of my hair. I am subscribed to your channel. I do appreciate you calling people' locs disrespectful, lol,lol,lol,lol. Peace be unto you and yours!

14 years with locs, teacher now and before that I worked in news.

As always, thank you Yannie for blessing me with your knowledge of all things Loc’d. 💕🙏🏾💕

Thank you Yannie, for breaking it down. Due to illness I started with thin Locs. Last year I had to combine half of the. There are doing much better now. And just you said I just let the new growth get long enough to wrap around the base/root. 🙏✌💜

I am a teacher also. My students and staff have nothing but compliments and admiration for my hair. I live in the UK. I’m Jamaican/English, 54 and have just started my locs (6 months in).

Yes long hair don’t care. I am a high ranking police official in Philadelphia and I absolutely refused to cut my locks when certain people had comments when I 1st started my journey.

Our ancestors who were kings and Queens wore locs, I got 42 locs and I’m a business owner #teamthickandisrespectful

I am an a qualified chartered accountant and HR professional and I have had my locs since 1998. They have never stopped my career progression. Thanks Yannie. You tell them.

All of these comments give me the confidence to start my loc journey in college and not be afraid of getting jobs

Hey Yannie! I am a loc’d Ophthalmic Tech (Retinal Disease) and a Substitute Paraprofessional (NYCDOE D75) loc’d 11 years and YES got those opportunities with locs as well as wrapped in fabric from the motherland 👑👑

Just got into my pediatric residency rocking my locs all the way through the interview cycle! On my way to becoming a physician with a full head of healthy, disrespectful locs!

I’m a College Professor in the English Dept and I’ve had my locs for 6 years. Absolutely no problem with Professionalism. I don’t over twist or over style my hair either.

Love those beautiful locs! I'm only 6 months into my loc journey but I'm in it for the long haul. I have worked in Human Resources for 10.5 years now in a predominantly Caucasian industry and nobody says anything to me about my locs except for how cute they are.

Watching as I retie my micro braidlocs. I have been combining my loc’s due to weaken. I appreciate you and the knowledge you bring to us non educated loc people.

YANNIE IS THE TRUTH, PROFESSIONAL HEALTHCARE WORKER, BEEN WEARING LOCS LONG TIME!!! I WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP MY LOCS 4 EVER!!

Hi Yannie I'm from Trinidad and I'm a firefighter. .I'm a one year rasta. Had slot of negativity from my husband but I just loved it so. I always admired my brother's raw,I used to help take care of it and wanted it since secondary school.I wash my hair once a month and only put oils and spritz with rose water. I love watching your videos,thanks much for your knowledge. Blessings

I’m a nurse and I’ve been growing my locs for 6 years!!!

Yannis, love your vidéos, you have me laughing 😂 here in Canada 🇨🇦 Can’t wait to start my loc journey, currently doing my research.

FEMA Emergency Planner..from Miami with locks. Much love & respect Yanni.

This video made me follow I love the honesty and the education that follows

I'm a licensed engineer that's 10 months into my loc journey. I interviewed for my current job 3 months into my loc journey.

Thank you Yannie for sharing - my locs are thin and long ( just to my bum) & yes, they have popped. I’ve always loved my locs and yes, I’ve doubles and triplets too 🥰 All what u explain about pulling, tension in the locs.... that’s what the twisters have done over the years and they quick to style too much 😠 (I’m not calling them loctitians as they’re unable to educate their clients as you do) and it’s so sad as I couldn’t or didn’t even try to retwist myself, I’m a Business Support Officer, I had money and so I just kept rebooking over the years - softly killing my crown and filling their pockets.... anyway, this lockdown, I’ve done what you advised and left the new growth alone and really happy to say the Jamaican black castor oil agrees with my hair and my 17yr old whose never done my hair washed with me and retwisted and now I’m seeing some growth again where there was no hair growth whatsoever! It’s slow, steady growth and what I’ve learnt is ‘patience’ is key 🙏🏾 I really wish I could thicken all of mines but it’s too late however, I no longer put too much strain on my locs so, I hope with extra tlc, they’ll strengthen YOUR ADVICE - THANK YOU, I WISH WE WERE IN THE SAME COUNTRY I WOULD DEFINITELY BOOK AN APPT COS I KNOW MY HAIR NEEDS YANNIISM 😂 🤷🏾‍♀️ Love to you & Jimmy from the UK 🇬🇧

Shout out to this future STEM professional! Engineer here with (almost) 2 year old locs! Started at my government agency with a big ole fro 6 years ago.

Yanni, I just love you and your videos! I've had my locs for nearly 4 years. They are rude, disrespectful, and downright rebellious! I love them! My only problem is "Hand-in-hair-itis" Keep on doing what you're doing! The only thing I put on my locs is rosewater and vitamin E oil. I also am very cautious about letting folks I don't know touching my hair. I was in the grocery store and this lady was looking at me smiling...I mean-mugged her and she went on bout her business! One day I hope to meet you in person. Peace & Blessings to you and Jimmy!

You are awesome. Dreadlocks for life. Nothing can stop dread. Thanks for your tuitions. All the way from Ghana, I really love you

I have worked for my company for 23 years....the last three years were with locs. I'm still there.

Army veteran and CPS investigator been locked a year and following you since I started I love your videos so educational and informative. The one thin one she had upfront I have one the same and now I know to just leave it be

🖐hey Yannie..i been locking since 2006..since I trained as schoolteacher and they still growing.and I'm still teaching. Yeah! All Praises!💚

I love her locs. I started my locs from watching Yannie. I started Sept. 2018 by way of 2 strand twist and my locs were thin, if you could see them now. WOW!!! Less is more...they are thick and healthy, never lost a loc, I actually started 3 additional locs. I am a Medical Business Analyst, my hair was loc'd about 1 year after I was hired and I will always have my locs, rocking them proudly. Blessings to all my loc Kings & Queens❤❤❤

I am a Veterinary Technician and have been on my Loc Journey since 2002. There were a few years I also worked as a Teachers Assistant in Pre-K. With some of the kids my hair was a way to get them to embrace their new environment and gain their trust in me. Out of curiosity they would stare at my Locs, some would want to touch it some would not. I would remind them that is always ok to ask questions, that is a way to get to know the world and people around you!

I had a government contracting job with my locks where I present it every Monday in front of many people virtual and live orientation. And now I work in the health field as a clinical technician and I still have my locks. I am able to help care for the patients who have locks because others don’t know what to do with their hair. I help patients feel loved as I tend to their hair. I have a skill that no one else has at my job and that is the ability to re-twist locks. The patients feel so much better when their hair is done

Blessings Yannie! #microlocs #interlocs #sisterlocks here for the education as well! Our locs are the sizes We have created and We are here for it! Having said that I am semi free forming My documented #greylocs and love them! I am a contractor and social worker before that a nursing. I have locs and when interviewing I did cover My locs so HR did not see My Glory! I signed paperwork and uncovered My locs!

I’m a payroll analyst and work for the County of Los Angeles. I’ve been loc’d for 10yrs. And proud of them !

Hi Yanni, I hope you are doing fine. I have locs for the past 20 years and some of them is thinning and you are so correct in your analysis.

I love this video!!! I love your energy🥰🥰I wish you were my loctician! You would have me cracking up. 🤣Beautiful video.

I am an wireless communications engineer, I have been growing my hair for 19 years and have been in the industry for 27 years.

I love this. One of the reasons I started my locs is because I want to break the stereotype that ppl spread about locs, besides the roots of locs... but I always hated people saying locs are dirty or someone with locs must be a thug or in some illegal stuff... even since i was a teenager. But I'm almost 2 months in and loving it. Kris McDred is the first one I heard talking about the same topic and that made me decide that I am getting them.

here watching..I started my sister loc journey May of this year and thanks for sharing

Blessed love and give thanks…..I have locs and I’m a electrical engineer in that medical field. God bless

I have been following you for several weeks; a little over 1 month. I am on my second loc journey; the first was a mess. I understand now that using the beeswax and washing my hair everyday was probably the reason my locs were so hard. I am following your recommendation of just leaving my hair along. YEAH. Will update you. (I oil my scalp, hydrate with oil/water and of course drink lots of water.

Yeah you are a G! 💯 Very Good Information thank u Yannie
