1. Don’t sleep without your durag/head covering
2. Focus on your scalp the first months, use tree oil/peppermint oil
3. DON’T SCRATCH YO HAIR
4. Wash it once a month, ideally two if you don’t want it to look rough for the first months. Depends on your hair texture as well .
5. Don’t dye your hair early

This is my 2nd journey with locz. My first journey lasted 7 years past the middle of my back. I’m on journey 2 at 7 months in. This time I won’t cut them. May I mention, I will be 51 this year.

2 weeks into my loc journey woot woot 🎉

Iv grown my locs to my shoulders twice now.. All these do’s and don’ts I agree with 100% Damian is amazing he saved my locs the first time and retwisted them 2 more times after that. If you aren’t retwisting your own hair and you have someone else doing it for you PLS PLS DO NOT LET JUST ANYONE PUT THEIR HANDS ON YOUR LOCS! Iv met a lot of people who have said they can do locs but couldn’t... Ask for a portfolio, verify before they do anything..

I love number 4. I had long beautiful locks and kept them for a long time. I started them when my pops was alive because they represented freedom. I had just went to college and mother didn't want me to have them. So when I moved out it was the first thing I did. My pops was my boxing trainer and loved them. They got long! REALLY long. He passed away in 2008 and a few years later I cut my locks for a fundraiser for a kid that had brain cancer. Long story short, after that ever time I tried to regrow my locks I kept cutting them over and over because then it was about the "style' where as the first time it was "spiritual". During this quarantine I put my locks back in... But this time it feels different. I'm ok with the 'rough' look because I feel my locks are a spiritual representation of my new knowledge... My "North Star" so to speak is closer to when I first had my locks rather than the image of it. Thank you for the great advice!!

quarantine had me starting my locs yesterday, hopefully they’ll be locd up when school start in august

i totally agree with taking pictures in the early stages...hair gets locked then you look for pictures of the beginning and only find two😂

I started my locs back in March sitting between my mama’s legs - at my big ass age of 20 - while she two strand twisted my hair 😂 no specific parting, no specific plan..just intuition. enjoying the journey though. it’s a roller coaster

[LuJaylights]

Started my locs November 10th 2023 and it’s the best decision in my life honestly trusting the process😊

[shawntayturley]

Almost 3 weeks in...and I LOVE IT...best thing I could've ever done. It took me years to make the decision and I'm so glad I did 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Just started my locs yesterday and I’m feeling it can’t wait to see what they turn out to be

[danielpennell]

i cant lie, youre one of the best loc teachers ive seen on youtube because you get right to the point of the question, no extra talk trying to fill content, its jus straight knowledge and cut.

[taixthestylist]

Great information, coming from a licensed cosmetologist, loc enthusiast, and going thru my own loc journey! I would add using a leave-in conditioner, or a spray conditioner, instead of a cream to help prevent the locs from slipping. Also, if you do have a hard time remembering your scarf at night is opting for a satin pillowcase.

i started my locs on Jan 9

[patricecool]
