The ability to wash and the lack of unraveling is a main reason that I want to start with braidlocs.

Finally someone who is clear and straight to the damn point. Thanks fam.

Just started braid locs on a whim and my head was swirling with doubt as the realization started to hit and this video healed a whole lot! I’m so excited to see them mature

[SheGotJesus]

Ive tried every method in starting my locs, and this method is the only one that works for me. To tighten my roots, i use the crotchet method. Wash my hair with clarifying shampoo and use conditioner since i use oil often due to my dry hair. Best decision ive made about my hair❤

[robertpowell]

I started with braided locs. You might have to combine a few of them but you’ll be fine. Braids are great for maintaining a good foundation. Other styles can unravel at the root easily

[moneigreen]

Started mine, basically completed mine today…. I did them to someone hair in 2016 and her hair is beautiful. I have started locs so many different ways.

My hair is braided at the moment. They've been in for 3 weeks today and I've been back and forth these last couple days about starting the loc journey from here. This will help me form a decision real soon. Thanks!

[DiiamondDimples]

Just started my toddler's braid locs tonight 🥰 glad to see others doing rhis

[LL-osfk]

I have to oil. I like that u addressed doing what's best for your hair.

[jasminegiles]

Omg this was the info I was looking for❤

I started my braidlocs in December its about to be a month in a few days. Mine are already shrinking. I think it's because I wash my hair twice a week. Started our son's braidlocs last March and his braid pattern is starting to disappear. Great videos, keep bringing great content

[StarC]

Informative video! I was locd for 6 years before cutting my locs. I want to start a 2nd set but this time maintain them myself. Braidlocs it is!

[rovetsenior]

Everything you said is the gospel truth of braids locks pros and I love them. I am still trying to get me some but I want them on the thicker size . ❤❤

[AprilMartinChartrandMS]

Glad I found your You Tube channel. I had to cut all my Locs off due to hair loss during 2020. I had 20 years worth of growth. So it has been 1.8 years now and my hair has grown back, but thin in the top, so I wanted to find a technique that would avoid harsh grid lines to start the process again. So your technique (non grid) is better because it will allow my thinning hair to look fuller. I intend on added some kinky hair (bulk kinky hair extensions) and loc that hair into my micro braided locs. So it will be a long process.

How long your braid pattern is visible or there depends on your hair type honestly because mines is already turning to locs it just takes patience and that’s what the braids help you with because it takes longer to undo your hair so it helps keep your journey going😁🤟🏾👍🏾

[estabunnyp]

😂😂 I’m weak he said they will see it a mile a way. 😂😂

JUST 2STRAND TWIST THE BRAID LOCS, THATS IN STYLE NOW !

[adoringyourhair]

Starting mine today and this was confirmation. ❤

[dannaaaaa]

I’m 3 months on my microlocs with twist, no matter how much braid and band, unraveling and slippage is still occurring, I’m tired of it and considering untwisting as much of I could and braid. Because my roots is already locking.

[nessaschaoticthrillz]

Took out my twist cause i couldn’t keep them together not a professional at all but I don’t wanna pay crazy out of pocket and I plan on doing it myself the rest of it anyways so I think this is gonna be for me
