How Long it Takes to Lock starts @5:13 😅 Had to address all the spice from the last lock video! lol

[goitseoneratone]

No matter how long it took to get to the point, this is the only video I could find where a YouTuber is straight forward about the title of the video. Thank you very much.

[Razzaqonyoutube]

I've had my hair locked for almost 3 months now and, to be very honest, I didn't have the best start. 😅 My hair was relatively short so my hands were always in my hair. I was washing it every week in warm water, constantly trying to make it look neat, I was always checking to see if it'd "started locking" yet.😂 I was super impatient.
When I had almost hit my 2 month mark I decided to leave my hair be. I would wash every two weeks and coming to the end of the two months, I used a crochet needle to "fix" it. It turned out great! My 3 month mark is in a few days and I'm super excited to see how much it's grown. @TP locks, you were my inspiration for this journey and your videos were/are super helpful! Thank you man. 😁

My loc appointment is tomorrow and I’m educating myself as much as I can. It’s annoying that people are so quick to bash because you’re keeping it real. I subscribed to you about an hour ago and I’ve watched 7 other videos and I plan on watching the video of discussion after this one. I’m sitting here with a notebook taking notes from every video that I’ve watched and without a doubt I know you’re “reason why not to “ video will be just as helpful. People think this process will be easy and it’s youtubers like you that keep it real and help those who are open minded know if this is the journey for them and if now is the time to start them.

Look, don't even worry about the haters. Everything comes with pros and cons, from food to technology, to even different styles of hair. They just can't handle the "con" side of locs, which seems to be a personal problem. I watched the video and left a comment, I thought it was very informative and yet I still took this journey. People aren't always going to agree with you, that's just how it is on social media, unfortunately. Just keep doing what you doing and don't stop posting!

I washed my hair today at my 3 week mark. I was told not to but I did cause I chose hair health over lock progress. But it didnt unravel at all. When u have starter locs first thing ppl notice is your scalp. Healthy hair looks nice in any stage or hair style imo. Thanks ur really helping me on this journey tp locks

Started my locs a week ago today. You definitely were one of the inspirations for this new journey of mine. You have a dope energy, and your videos are always very thorough and informative. Keep doin’ what ya doin. ✊🏾

I can never understand the not using water I locked up yrs.ago the best advice came from a Rasta he said water was key n shower or under sink just water water n it truly worked my hair locked up n no time it knotted up real fast thanks to water every one I told to try it were amazed how water really wks.n locking up hair fast

I'm 3 days into my loc journey. I so wish that I had started them at the beginning of lock down but for some reason I thought that my hair had to grow longer. I'm mixed and from that chart in your video id say my hair would be a 3a/3b. Been watching a lot of your videos recently and actually showed your hair to my loctition as a basis to go off (although Im currently looking like Kris Kross 😂)

Ignore the criticism for the last upload. Anyone who watched the whole video understood that you was given a rounded view of what to expect during the journey. I believe that its best that people understand what to expect before committing and then quitting. Keep stating positive and love the energy ✊🏾

Love your videos! Another factor in locs is also how you start them. I started in September on mid back, natural, 4a, b, c mix hair and did 2 strand twists instead of coils. With me working in management, I needed to have a way to wear a hairstyle (cause I was NOT about to wear a wig, weave, etc over my developing locs) while my locs formed. I knew coils would unravel easily, especially with how long my hair was. By time we finished twisting it, those bad boys shrunk to my ears. But the funny thing is my hair loc'd SUPER quick. It's hard to even find a loc that you can really see the 2 strand twist pattern. I had about 3 twists that kept unraveling in the middle at the beginning that my loctician eventually just did a quick crochet on, and they look just like the rest of my locs. Wish I had done this sooner and can't wait to see my hair when it reaches a year 3 months from now!

The amount of times I’ve started locs but didn’t go over a month pains my heart. I wish I just kept my first attempt from 2017

[sbgutta]

Okay I actually understand watchu said bout my hair might take a lil longer to lock, cause of the length it all makes sense now !! I literally grew my hair out for a year before I started my loc journey now I know why thank you TP LOCS

[Millennialsoul]

1 month in and some of them are budding already. It’s amazing watching my hair change before my eyes. Love the channel!!!

[michaelwitt]

Yeah I got that 4c. It definitely does take longer when you have longer hair. I grew my hair for a year before I got dreads. My hair started to loc in about 8 months.

[raphaelnault]

i really love how you are authentic in your videos plus you help peoples dealing with the downside of their lock journey ! keep it up brotha you rock ! One love ! <3

[Oliveryoung]

I hear what you are saying bruh, but I started my locs with over six inches of hair, and it took less time to loc. I noticed this with other people I know that started with long hair as well. Damien Walter broke this down a few years back, and it made perfect sense. Longer hair does not take longer to lock up. Stay blessed bruh.

[abreannemau]

I'm glad I came to the comments cause I was about man how long will it take for you to get to the actual answer

[blkeclipsel]

Sorry to hear you had a few people coming at you over your last video - but I'm not surprised . I understood completely why the video was made and much of what you said i personally experienced in the beginning. I love locs but like everything else ; they are not perfect and i see nothing wrong with educating the bad with the good . I don't know if those people were subscribers or not but if they took the time to click on your avatar ( never mind your channel name ) they'd see that you're a stark advocate for locs .
