Hey lock, levers and LA kings and queens, and welcome back to another lock video. So I wanted to address this topic and that is wearing wigs overlock. Sorry guys, my kids are being like really loud in the other room. If you guys hear them, this channel is a real Chan there. I do have three kids and they're out there with their daddy but they're being kind of loud. So if you guys hear some background noise, that's all that is, but they are perfectly alright. They are safe, okay, I'm a mama. So yes just know that anyway, I wanted to make this video talking about wearing wigs over locs, and I, like I said. I also know that there are other things that you can wear over your locs as far as people. Putting in different types of twists - or I don't know, additional hair Marley hair, something I have no idea but just hair over your locs okay, we're gon na talk about that today. So how do I feel about this question next to me? Hey, I just started my long journey. I don't like my starter locs or hey I'm in the ugly face, and I want to wear a wig off my locs until the time goes by. How do you feel about that? What do you think about that? Would you suggest that you know, can you give me any tips, so I'm gon na give y'all the four one one from my point of view on that my for wearing wigs over locs, I'm not if that's what you want to do. If that is your cup of tea by all means, go ahead and drink from that cup, but as for me and my locs, we will serve out here, no matter the condition, no matter what stage we're going through. None of that um. I just don't like the wigs over the locks. Now when I say this, I'm not even I'm not talking about you know you kind of just playing around one day. You just you know, want to switch up. I'M talking about somebody who is just like man. I do not want to see my locs for the next six months, I'm ashamed of my locs. You know I don't like you know how short they are. I don't like this ugly face, but you guys know I do not believe I do not call my life's ugly. I'Ve never been through an ugly face. I actually made a video about that in my very first log journey. I will link it in the description box down below on why I do not believe in the ugly stage - and you guys have not checked that out, but there are people who feel like that and believe that and say you know: hey I'm going through this ugly Stage or have convinced themselves that their locks are ugly or that the particular stage that going through is ugly and they want to wear a wig during that time you know um, even people who men who may say. Well, I can't wear a wig, but I just wan na just wear a hat all day every day, all these months, because I am ashamed and this all goes down to your motive. This goes down to, first of all, how you feel you have to address what it is it's causing you to feel like this, because at the end of the day, it is rooted in insecurity. If you are feeling like you want to cover your loss, because you are ashamed of your locker, you are embarrassed about your locks. Then that's the problem and that's the thing that you actually needs to address. Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel embarrassed about my locs? Why do I feel ashamed about my locs or the length of my hair or the frizziness, or anything like that? Why do I feel that sense of shame connected to my hair? I think that that is really important, because when you start a long journey, you know that there are gon na be many different seasons to that long journey to be many stages throughout that journey, and it's all about embracing embracing your journey, embracing your hair for what It is embracing you for who you are and loving who you are, and so that's why I'm not for wearing wigs because number one. Not only does it cause you to not be able to really embrace your most authentic self, but you're, hiding your hair, you're hiding, who you really are, and not only that guys, your hair is not having a chance to breathe at all. You know, how are your lock is going to flourish if you're hiding them? If you, you know, are wearing a artificial week, even if it's human hair is still artificial, because it's naturalist might say: oh I paid for you, you pay for it, but it's not. It'S not the hair that grew out of your scalp. You know granny, I'm talking, I'm not talking about people guys who suffer with hair loss or any type of terminal illness, or anything like that trust me. I can relate to that because I actually went through a period in my life where I suffered from alopecia, and I talk about that in my book blessed beyond the bruises. I'M not gon na go into that right now on this particular bit video. But I know what that feels like too, but I'm not talking about those people. I'M talking about people who have made the conscious decision to say I want to start a long journey, but now feel embarrassed or ashamed of their hair because of whatever society's standards or views or what other people think, or even an insecurity within themselves, based on a Pun, you know how you feel your hair looks or the lack of length or anything like that so you're not allowing your hair to breathe you're, not allowing your hair to grow you're, putting a mask over the top of your head, and so you know, if we're Really going to be out here, you know having a true authentic, LOC journey. Then we got to go in all the way we got ta say man, forgive what other people think and even if it's yourself, you got ta, look yourself in the mirror and you have to see and identify the areas of where you need to love yourself more In you know, I need to love myself more in this area. I need to nurture myself more in this area, so whatever those areas are you're gon na be confronted with, and you got to confront that thing and then you have got to actually face it head-on and you've got to love on yourself. You got to work on loving you, you got to work on developing who you are I'm going to share a secret with you guys something that I have never shared before on this channel and honestly, I haven't even shared this with anyone, but it's related to the Topic as far as wearing the wigs of the locks and guys first law journey, I don't know how deep I wasn't to it. It was. It was matter of fact it was a very beginning. I remember I probably had my locks for like two weeks at this point. I started my long journey and I just started my long journey and you guys, if you look back on my old videos, you guys will see that at my I think two week mark. I had actually washed my locks because um I had a lot of buildup in my hair from going through the lock tissue I went to, but anyway um I had a lot of buildup in my hair, whatever product that she used just was terrible. I had flakes in my hair and I it was not good so that first week was just not good, and during that time I had to go to the grocery store, and I remember because I went to Kroger and I remember I had to go to a Grocery store and my hair was an absolute mess like it was terrible as far as all the flakes and stuff like that, like it looked like, I needed some almond milk in my hair, y'all cuz, I had like some frosted flakes. It was terrible so guys I went to the store um and before I left out the house I was like. I can't go around like this right, so at the time I still had not thrown out the wigs that I had because prior to me getting lost. I was wearing wigs, so I actually um put a wig on and it was a big curly wig and it was easy for me to stuff my Lachlan II thought God, because they would comb coils and they were soft and I had just started my journey like A week ago, so I put this wig on and I felt so self-conscious I was like oh my gosh, I don't want was outside with this wig on because mind you. I just started my long journey and I knew that I wanted to start this long journey. I felt so liberated. I was like yes, I love this. I love my locs, I'm excited by my long journey, and so I had no intention on ever going back to wigs because I had just started my luncheon, but I felt so ashamed of not like my actual loss for the fact that my locks were dirty. My hair was dirty with all these flakes in my hair from this product build-up, and so I put on a wig and y'all. I remember going into the store - and I was just like this is not me I just I felt I felt fake. I felt like a fraud and the worst part about it. Guys was when I was in the store. I remember looking down an aisle and I promise y'all promise you. I saw the lady who started my locs yeah. I saw the lady who started my locs and I freaked out like immediately y'all like I was doing that like real shady thing, were you like trying to add on you, do not see the person and I was like trying to do another direction because she didn't Eat she nah. I never spoke to her. I never spoke to where she didn't see me. She probably saw me, but she didn't recognize. It was me because mind you. I had just went to her to get my LOC started. So here is this person with this big curly fro, like that's, not the same person right. So I didn't want her to see me y'all, because I didn't really know what and obviously looking back. I part she wonder like what did you put in my hair cuz? The calls are these flakes right, but um. I don't want her to see me and she was with somebody else dude. I was like uh-uh. No more her see me. I don't wan na see her, and so I just went the other way and you know went down another aisle and that made me feel even worse cuz I was like man like I'm out here I felt like I was just perpetrating the fly. I don't know. I just I just did not feel authentic, with the wig over my locs and also it's funny, because even that first week, when I started my long journey, I was getting compliments all the time on my locs. You know, even though they were just little comb cords. They were babies, people knew like people who actually had logs knew hey. You started all your long journey and I'm like yes, you know, and so I was having conversations with people, and it was just like that that mutual, like respect and love that you know you feel you know know how do y'all feel it. I feel it when you go somewhere and you see somebody else with lobsters just like y'all, just kind of connect like a like. You know like we here you know, and so I felt that way. Um every time I ran somebody with flocks. Every time I got a compliment, especially from someone with locks, and so when I was out with this wig one, even though I was only out for like an hour with this wig on. Of course, I didn't receive no compliments on my locks because I didn't have no locks to show right, and I saw I remember seeing somebody else. I saw this woman with locks while I was out and she has some beautiful locks, and I remember telling her I said your locks are so beautiful and she was like thank you and that was it like you. Normally, I would have a conversation, but I felt like the world, am I gon na say to her yeah. I just started my long journey and she would be looking at me like so I didn't say anything you know, and so I really so I just I felt like I had to retract myself with while wearing this week I felt like I was not my true Authentic self, granted, the reason why I was wearing it wasn't because I was you know ashamed of my hair, texture or my life, or anything like that. It was because I was trying to hide all of this build-up before you know. I washed my hair because at the time I was scared to wash my own hair. I just felt like man. I only had my got my luck started a week ago. My comb cool is gon na fall out, you know, and so you know I reflect on that, and I share that to say to you guys. You know it's it's nothing like the real thing, like ain't, nothing like the real thing they do, but that's wrong. Y'All ain't, nothing like the real thing: okay, anyway um. You know. I know that I probably sound terrible but anyway ain't. Nothing like the real thing. That'S just it ain't! Nothing like the real thing like you know, and you are wearing edit hair in weaves of your locs. It ain't the real thing and you're not going to learn to really love yourself and love your hair until you are able to embrace your hair for what it is, you know, and and then it stops you, it stops you from having those conversations with other people. It stops you from building connection with other people, you know, and I'm talking about the people who this is more than just like a style for you. But this is you really are on a journey. You know - and so I just wanted to just share that and share that with you guys, so that is the secret that I have about my long journeys. I went to the store one time with a wig on yarn. It was terrible, it was horrible and I never did that again, a matter of fact, all the wigs that you know I used to have they're all gone they're all thrown in the trash, or you know somebody. I know you know it's a some of them. I won't shout that person out because anyway um it just feels so freeing to not be bound by a mask in any form so um. I just wanted to just share that with you guys so embrace your hair be confident, be confident in your long journey. Be confident with your hair, no matter the length, no matter the size of your locs, no matter what be confident and rock it y'all walking, because that is what other people see, and that is what other people's sense and feel it's how you feel about your hair. So people are going to to feel and respect your hair based off as well how you feel a respected. So if you're walking around ashamed of, you think somebody else is gon na be like. Oh, you know no they're gon na be like so be bold, be confident and love yourself embrace the most authentic form of you. So I hope that you guys enjoyed this video. If you did, please give it a thumbs up. Thank you guys so much for watching. I'M gon na go out there. I'M gon na get my little baby because obviously he needs some mamas liquid gold, so we're gon na go ahead and we gon na take care of him in Jesus name. Okay, I love y'all and I will see you in the next vlog video ma bye, guys
Comments
Alicia •: I wear wigs and I’m 4 1/2 months in. It has nothing to do with the supposed “ugly phase” . My wig is flat and it looks good. I like to be versatile, but I also wear my locs out as well.
Rob: I agree, but people w/ 4C hair get more heat in society for their texture, which may be why the next person is more insecure with their locs than others with your texture. However, working on loving yourself is still necessary. Just thought I’d point that out.
Lemons19902010: I started my locs almost a week ago. My hair is so short, and I'm self conscious in my workplace about this because I've always had long hair or worn protective styles. I've worn a wig at work this past week, but it's uncomfortable and too hot for it, so from this point forward, I plan to rock my short baby locs!
Fontaine Foxworth: It’s your Prerogative. No one should be shamed for not feeling the best about any particular stage of their locs. Instead of judge people, how about let folks do them? Don’t nobody have to keep the wig on the head 24/7, so the thing about the locs not breathing, in my opinion is overreacting. Why not give people credit for locking their hair in the first place in a world where we are programmed to hate the essence of our Blackness in totality? I just started mine, and no I don’t like how it has shrunk up, my hair is already thin density, and I feel very childlike. It’s also presumptuous to say that because folks not liking a particular stage of their hair, is not fully loving themselves. Just a thought, and advice for spreading positive energy sis.
Joyce G: Wear your hair, locs, wigs however, whenever you want.
On The Loc Journey: Agreed sis -- what is an "ugly stage" of locs. I think people can switch up their styles if they want to, but I agree that it might indicative of a deeper self-esteem issue if people feel the need to hide their locs for months at a time and are ashamed of their baby locs. loved the new (to me) intro
NOLAqueen504: I plan to religiously wear wigs over my starter Locs until they are longer. Short hair makes me look like a man, period. I refuse to deal with that. Like 2 years at least before I will wear them out. It is easy to say when you 2+ years in and have length and volume.
diorxr0bl0x: I'm not gon lie. I wore a wig for the first 2 months. My loose hair was past my shoulders so with locs they naturally shrunk above my shoulders. With my wig I LOOKED LIKE A DAMN FOOL! Like I had a helmet on my head MY LOCS were literally trying to break free. I realized my "ugly stage" was all in my head, my hair was beautiful just NEW to me. Now I am almost 2 years in and baby lemme tell you I gave ALL my wigs away and I wake up and GO! Ladies only you call it a ugly stage on yourself its really beautiful and a life changing appreciation you gain. There is no ugly stage. You hit this subject perfectly. Love you!
Marvalus Conversations: Im wearing a wig now over my starter locks♀️ Great Video!
S. A: I did from the beginning I won’t lie...it was more-so so I can learn about my hair in the privacy of my home without prying eyes and questions...I did end up with a codependency though like people legit never saw my hair for years ♀️
Monique Sanders: Easy to say when you've got that kind of confidence... Some have to learn the hard way on their journey. Sweating out a retwist got my mind right... I'm so afraid of over twisting. Health over cuteness....
Kashay Tv: I feel like wigs can also be a way to just express your self with a little change once in a blue just like we do with loose hair . People wear braids and wigs with loose hair and can still love their natural hair so this is the same . I would also compare it to wearing make up we can do that once in a blue and still love ourselves ❤️
Folakemi Okiji: I’ve had locs for four months now , i love them tbh. I personally hate wearing wigs over my locs but I’m so self cautious of my edges , I rather cover them until my locs grow longer in the front so it can cover my edges . My hairline has always been a huge insecurity for me.
Rea Allen: I do where wigs and not because of an " ugly stage" but because I was so used to switching up my do before I got locs that I get bored with them and when I do I just slap on a wig for a day or two then I'm over it
Hikama.: I currently have a tinny Afro and I’m ready to start my locs. I’ve worn my hair all sorts of ways this is the 3rd or 4th time cutting it short. I’m thinking about a wig just to switch it up a bit. Never actually worn a wig before but I just worry about being impatient with the different phases of the loc journey and keeping my hands out my head. I don’t think it’s fair to suggest that someone hates themselves or they are insecure because they wanna switch up a look. I ultimately just want healthy hair and I am open to using whatever protective style that will help me to achieve that. If Issa wig from time to time then so be it ♀️
Yolanda Coppin: Thank you for this video sis, I am 6 weeks into my loc journey, the first week I was like yeah this is great, but when the shrinkage started it was real it helped so much that my husband loved my locs and made me still feel beautiful and then it hit me. This is me and if such and such dont like it that is their problem. Working as a professional I was also anxious about what people would say, but not now I'm doing me I feel free I feel like a new woman.
Sweets: Great video! Thank you for sharing! I agree with you, I feel like we should always embrace our hair no matter the length etc always know that you’re beautiful.. there is no ugly stage!!
kandy stallworth: I did two stand twists two weeks again. It’s short so I’m thinking about this. I have also worn wigs as a protective style
Neferka: YESSSSS Sis!!!!!!!! I almost did and I said to myself this is about being you all real and 100% natural don’t do it!
Tameesha Bright: Loved it! I did wear a wig my 1st 5 weeks because I was NOT comfortable. Not even about how they looked, I just had to adjust & I have so NO MORE wigs UNLESS I just want a certain look. But I'm more open to embrace and dealt with whatever I had going on. Good point of view. Thanks 4 sharing
Notyourtypical Illeyah: After watching your videos on the ugly stage and how you feel about faux locs, one can guess how you feel about this already.
Sharee Walls: So love your spirit!! Awesome video and yes embracing this journey is hard, but it's also rewarding.. I'll be a month in July 17th and my babies are 1.5 in long!! Lol
Naturally C: Great video as always and you didn't sound bad singing lol but this video keeps me to stay inspired im a year amd 2 months in and i love them and get compliments on them i also started them myself and have maintained them myself. Thank you for reminding us to stay authentic and bold with our locs and ourselves!
Kim Ber Lee: OMG, I am soooo happy that you addressed this topic. I've been wondering about this and needed to hear another perspective. S/N- Love to see you having some fun with those beautiful locs, girl!!!
Samantha Cartwright: Yes girl! I feel that connection! I absolutely LOVE your videos! So authentic and inspiring! I’m 3 1/2 months in and I love my locs!!!!
alyssa nichole: Loveeed this video. I just started my journey and this was wonderful to hear!!!
Melody Woods: Thank you for this video. I'm one month locked and you are an inspiration. I was on my way to buy a wig. Nice video. Thank you
S. D'nella Gay: I’m two weeks in and I slapped a wig on my head this morning I promise I will take it off once I get a re-twist & a style.
Katesa Rudolph: That’s the whole purpose of it being a journey... you have to travel the road and learn yourself. Just because one person exudes confidence doesn’t mean us chocolate girls with 4C are so lucky... Great video but it’s like you saying hurry and love yourself and be you. You can’t rush healing. Everybody might not wanna see they locks everyday. I’m in the Army so it’s not even a wig for me it’s the Army Cap. Some people have locks with alopecia ♀️ they love they self but not the fact they edges are missing... waiting on locks to cover them. But we glad your in such a good headspace to be passionate about this topic.
Danielle Jones: I'm 4 weeks into my journey tho I'm excited for it and am embracing my inner India Ari it's still a change from coming from someone who always wore wigs and long hair I cut my hair to start this journey so I feel awkward sometimes rocking short comb coils the frizz gets real and to adjust I have not gone back to wigs but I do wear scarfs to help get me threw until I'm comfortable and my hair reaches my desired length I still haven't loc,d or started budding I hope I will soon
Valenciaga: She gave you guys the best advice ever. Embrace your locs
Lauren Coop: I just started my locs today and I totally agree with you. I remember when I thought my head was going to be too big for comb coils but today when I walked out of the shop I felt so liberated and authentic. I definitely won’t be wearing wigs or hats I don’t believe in “the ugly stage” either. Going through the beginning stages of this journey will definitely make you appreciate all the growth that happens. You definitely don’t want to smother your hair with hats and wig. I like to say treat it like a garden and itll grow full :) fresh air and sunshine. And oils of course.
MsCouve: Great vid!!!! I def wanted to see this. I’m 13 months loc’d and I def wear wigs. I have always switched it up and have been natural 5x and the last time was the longest for 2 years but I was so tired of doing my hair. I was going to cut again but decide on locs (I’ve been wanting to loc for 10 yrs). I do both I mostly wear my wigs to work or a turban (I work 4days a wk)or if I go out and my hair is out other than that. I love my hair especially when it’s frizzy and because I started with my hair long I do appreciate the bob length. I have only styled it and wore it out twice with effort. I honestly don’t know how to style it (just like my loose natural hair) I just put on a headband (with my wigs as well). After switching it up for decades I just don’t want to spend time doing hair anymore. If my edges thin out I will def cut off the locs. I just purchased hair to do faux locs over my locs for a new look. I switch it up and people thought I wouldn’t last with my locs. I love my locs and my hair (and yours) but it is new to me and I think the wigs do give me something familiar..
FroLuV Angel: Hey girl, I just installed my two stand starters, do you have any suggestions for the beginning stages? Blessings
Dorothy Pokuaah: I started my locs 6 weeks ago and my hair is quiet short. My hair looks like nothing and I am a bit self conscious at times but there is no way I am covering it!! I ve wear wigs all my life and now i m so over it. It might not look amazing right now but it s just me sooo....
Bil Quist: White supremacy has taught us to be ashamed of our hair. Every person deals with the ramifications of that in their own time. Let’s not condemn others for how they choose to survive in a white supremacist world! If you have locs, do whatever you want! It’s all part of the journey.
Sheree Gaskins: Its too hot for wigs, I put one on one day and had to pull it off when I was outside for too long. My locs look about an inch or two long and I don't care how anyone else feels about them sticking up all over the place lol
Claudia Kayumba: I have never liked wigs or weaves... But for my bffs wedding she asked me to weave my starter locks so I can have the same hairstyle as the other bridesmaids (and she didn't like my hair....lol) That was 4yrs ago and I get complimented on my locks every time....
LaurenNicole: Yessss! I already know some people will be offended by your words but its so true. My biggest regret in my loc journey is not being as confident as I should in my early stages and wanting to cover them up. I even put braids over my locs for my wedding but if I could go back in time I would have rocked my baby locs unapologetically!
Trish Kutyauripo: Thank you for the video! ,l want to know does wearing wigs on top of your locs or incorporating your locs with braids or hair extensions make your locs thinner with time ?
Raven: I wore wigs until I couldn’t anymore. I then wore wraps until I was almost 2 years in.
emony xavier: i cover my loc i am 3 months in but i cover my locs with wraps and turbans not because of the ugly stage i have been covering my hair for a very long time its a personal thing but i do wear it out at home i promise myself on my 6 month mark ill wear em out i will still wear wraps but i will wear them out a bit
anthonymarion1: I don't believe in the ugly look also. You are right embrace your locs.
marshae pepin: Hi Have you ever had any issues with seeing the bulb(white specs) of your shed hair in your locks?
Hadar Kadosh: But that’s you . All people are different. If they want to ware a wig if they want then it’s them.
Breeze2423: Love the new intro you've been adding ❤️
Spiritual Truth Seeker: Wow..good vid ...I needed this...I'm 3 mos in...no more wigs...thanks & ✌❤
E. Williams: I understand what you are saying but everybody's starter locs don't look like yours and everyone doesn't have your hair texture. Unfortunately black women have became slaves to wigs and weaves because of the insecurities that societies have put amongst us. I won't even lie I wore a wig to work the first month or two of my starter locs and today was the first day I went without it. But it was because my locs are in a stage now where it doesn't look so messy. I was not trying to go to work looking like Coolio. Having Locs is a journey and part of that journey is going through the process of being comfortable with your natural self after being enslaved to wigs and weave for so long. It's all part of the process
Cheri: I look really young & my birthday is next week. I’ll be turning 29, longer hair has made me look a bit more mature on top of me being a lot more smaller framed I still look young for my age.. so that’s my struggle. I would wear them out all the time but I just don’t like to look young/immature and that is an insecurity of mine.I started my locs a few mons ago and have been learning as I go. Wore them freely for about 2 months then got some Marley twists over them, and was told by the stylist that it wouldn’t do any damage to them ... but I was unaware of wearing it that way would slow down my locking, since my loctitian did not say otherwise.. now I know better. Considering wearing a wig .. but a part of me just want to wear my locs out. Still debating... I just want to look grown and sexy for my birthday .
Jessica B.: I’m 4mos into my journey started with two strand twists... I haven’t worn a wig hell I haven’t retwisted in over 2mos... I won’t lie I’m ready for a wig but it’s too damn hot!!! .... but i like my starter loc... I’m glad I went with two strand twists i never feel i have a bad day and they mad unruly right now! ♀️♀️
Kimberly Sigman: I had locs down my back up until the end of May. I cut all of them off to start a new set because I wanted to. People were accustomed to seeing my long locs. Imagine the reactions I get when they see me now. People can't understand how I cut off all of my hair to start over. But I'm GOOD! I am enjoying my new journey. I respect my baby locs, grey streaks and all! I may wrap them every once in awhile. But for them most part I wear them just the way they are. When I started my first set I was always annoyed by the disrespectful baby locs that would go in any direction they pleased no matter what I did to them. On this new journey I just let them do whatever they want because I know that eventually they will all fall downward with a little help. Embrace your journey in spite of what others may think. Keep your scalp clean and moisturized with your proper oils. Cover them at night or sleep on a satin pillow case. You will learn alot about your own hair and YOURSELF by letting those baby locs be seen as often as possible.
Visionaire Queen: Is it ok to have them covered? I keep mines covered because my edges are thin, and I’m some what uncomfortable
Deon Mara: I'm almost 2 years loc'd and I want to comb them out, but wait hear me out. I want them to be bigger at the roots and thicker, because my locs are small and I feel like my locs are about to break off. I want my locs to be heathly.
Natural Hair Queen Sade’: I don’t do wigs I’m just starting my journey I start June 21.2019 it’s July 12 2019with locs I’m one month in I love the ugly look. I never covered my baby’s they are me I finger coil myself I’m ready for this.
Sassy B144: With all due respect I agree about the insecurity, but don’t you feel that the makeup without coming on NATURALLY is also an insecurity? I just feel it’s a personal preference and we will leave it at that
Leslyn Whitfield: I started my locs 9 months ago. I am bored as hel with them. Im going to be using my wigs.
Christina Yim: What products do you use for your locs?! I love them!!! :)
Girl After Graduation: What if the locs are prohibiting me from getting a job in interviews because they are too short to style/ don’t look professional ?
B M: Sooo I restarted my locs and the person did my two strand twist to the left (counter clockwise) what should I do? I don’t want to take them out. Any advice greatly appreciated!! ✨
Chidera Stephen: I love your lipstick So I’m FREEFORMING and I hardly wear wigs Only for weddings And my hair is super thick
Javonnie Tv: I started July 10th & I thought about it bc I’m a teenager & schools coming back . I want them to breathe before school but I always thought about after schools & during breaks take them off & let them breathe & give them proper care .. idk it’s just me I want to feel like a girl I already got enough boy features I feel so bad now lol
Nickie Bryant: Thank you so much I needed to hear this
Gabrielle Israel: Your locs are absolutely gorgeous
Jada Chantelle: I’m about to start my lock journey. But I’m just curious about that budding part. You see the way yours curl up at the ends? I actually like that look. Is there a way to keep them that way or does the ends bud automatically as time goes?
Tamaria Lakayye: Great video & your locs are beautiful!!!!
belledomnik: I agree with you!
Queen Abike Idowu: Great Topic Empress!
Stephanie Morenikeji: Is it true that wearing wig makes your locs flat?
LaurenLocd: I don’t understand people who style their starter locs . What you do now is how your locs will firm cause they are literally forming lmaooo
Adja Anne: Does hijabs affect it?
Terrii Harrell: I'll wear bonnets if I have too lol
C M: Your hair is thick and full I’m sure if ppl hair looked like yours they would wear it out
olivia scott: I will be a month in July 14 2021
Adja Anne: How bout if u wear a hijab?
Sheree Gaskins: I know I'm not first, but its been a while since I've been this early.
JLS: But we all have insecurities. If ur not feelin ur locs one day who’s to say ur “ashamed” of them? We all have bad hair days and ur not “hiding” who u “really” are by wearing a wig. Everybody’s loc journey is different whether u agree with the method or not. Sorry sis but this came off a tad bit preachy and honestly felt like loc shaming if that’s a thing. #iamnotmyhair #respectfullydisagree
Natural Goddess: BOOM
Pearl P: Noooooo, ewwww
