Hello Everyone! My name is Dawnelle (Dawn + Elle) and this channel was created to share helpful information that I've learned along this journey called life. I believe my life's purpose is to share information so here I am. Five years ago I started to document my loc journey on this channel to help those that are transitioning from loose natural hair to loc'd hair. On this channel you'll learn about locs, how to put together stylish looks (fashion & makeup), and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle by making mostly gluten free and plant-based food recipes. This is a one stop shop for pretty much all of your needs :-).
I hope to inspire you to do something different. For those who are transitioning from chemically treated hair to loose natural hair, for those that already have loose natural hair and want to learn how style it, and for those that want to eat and live a healthier lifestyle. One of the main points that I will display is: Work With What You Have, Not Against It!

♥️🥰
🥰♥️ love this
♥️🥰🔥🧶🍁🍂🤎
14years locs.... twice as long as these, thigh length and still growing. Not easy to carry due to weight.
Omgggg literally when I saw what you did my mouth dropped open like 🧐🫢🫢🫢🫢 and if you get the small crochet tool it would be Sealed off
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You did a great job❤
Do you have to refrigerate this gel?
Do you have to refrigerate the gel ?
I’m 8 years in and in need for a good trim. Getting it done today as we speak and I came across this video. I can’t wait to feel lighter!!!! This gave me the confidence I needed!
Never cut them off. 🧡
Beautiful ❤
🔥🔥🔥
My back hurts so bad 😭
This is giving me the confidence to make the cut ❤
Absolutely right up my street. Beautifully ethnic, too.🤎
An original beauty! ❤
Lovely locs and great video, I'm having a similar experience with my locs and I've been pondering if I should trim them but I can't let any part of them go. I sleep on the floor because nothing else felt better for my body.
Love the music choice....oh, and the locs😊. I've always wanted to try this product, but with ever decreasing and thinning hairline, I've been dubious. However, seeing your routine has given me the confidence to try. I see this video is 4 years old. Do you still use these products 4 years on? Blessings
i loved everthing from this video, i real wanted this tutorial
I think the grey is cute i can't wait until mine turn silver lol
Your so pretty :)
Dang ❤ i can't wait for mine to get this long. So pretty
Your video helped me to not completly cut off all my hair. But to embrace my Lovely Locs a hair cut is cool
lovely arms good biceps
Beautiful. ❤ I agree.
I cut 4 inches off mines today they were past my butt I feel so much relief i had my loctician even them out she took off a lil bit so 4 1/2 inches all together i feel so good ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ been growing mines 19 yrs
I have had locs for 14 and a half years and now thigh length - this includes cutting almost a foot off in the past. They grow like grass and are quite heavy.
Nice, love this!
I’m stuck on how to do the slipknot 😭
Happy 7 years!!! You and your locs look beautiful!
So glad to see that you did cut them to comfort! When I had locs for 10 years in the past, gray was not even a thought. Restarted my locs end of January '24...there is gray hair all up through and AROUND my babies!!! Embracing every moment!
Yess! Oh wow that’s awesome that you started a new journey! You are absolutely right! I’m starting to like my grays more and more each day now to the point where ive even took a break from gelling them down☺️
I love this. I'm always challenged to do simple styles because my old locs really frizz. Perfect
Looooooooooove!!!! The hair net hack is something I will definitely try! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you!! I know you’ll love it!!🙌🏾😍🙌🏾
They nice 👍
Wow Love this. Never thought of this. It reminds me of the way I use to Wrap my hair when I was Relaxed. Thanks for this. 💛
Yessss!! I used to do this with four plaits in my loose natural hair in order to tie down the turban and it was always a success. You’re going to love it when you try it. ☺️
@@itsDawnElle 🤍
Oh that is excellent for the summer heat!!! I gotta get those hairnets! And scarf dimensions? Material? I’m soooo challenged with any kind of styling, and I suffer every summer!!🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️😂👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much Sio!! You can grab the hairnets from Amazon. The dimensions....I believe this is one yard of stretchy fabric. Let me check my Amazon account because I may have ordered this fabric from there. They also sell fabric at Walmart for like $2! Here's the info for the material: Head Wrap Knit Jersey Material (1 yard): amzn.to/3Wuz5jU Dimensions: 58/60" Inches (150 CM) Wide
@@itsDawnElle thanks sis! If I can get this hot heat put up for the summer, what a relief that will be for me! B
@@Windsingerful you’re so welcome Sis and yesss indeed!!🙌🏾🤗
You look like Waka Flocka’s sister 😂
I subscribed because of the gray.. I also have gray in the front in a patch but not entire hairline. You don't look old. I not chasing my grays. I'm Im gonna roll with it.
Great editing and your voice over was so nice to listen to
Thank you so much! I appreciate you!
Beautiful as always ❤ The sections right above the temples are also very sensitive for me as well, with locs and even as a loose natural. I'm loving the cheat code retwist. It saves so luch time! Moose for the ends have saved my curly ends from looking craz y, some of them even loc'd. Your locs have grown since the trim😍 Wash day inspo for sure
Thank you so much!! Ahhh so it's not just me! My mom said hers are sensitive too....I may do some research on this. I wonder what causes that sensitivity. I felt like they've grown too so you just confirmed it for me :-).
The front and the nape area is like this for me too. I Interlock my Front and back once or twice a year. Interlocking it make it stay in. 😊
Really?! I've been highly considering interlocking the perimeter because the loose hairs NEVER stay with the loc. I was afraid of creating holes in my locs by starting interlocking so "late" in my journey. I need to look into this more because the summer is right around the corner and I want a longer lasting solution for sure!
@@itsDawnElle new here. First of all, you and your locs are BEAUTIMOUS!!! Did you ever crochet your edges? A professional, who is GOOD at it, can do it without holes resulting in the future.
@@kristyljohnson5622 Hello 👋🏾 and welcome!🤗 Thank you so much!!😘 I haven’t tried to crotchet the edges but I have tried to crotchet another part of my locs before and it was a complete fail 😂….i just couldn’t do it. I do need to find a professional because these edges are getting on my last nerves lol
We are hair twins so my locs are very similar to yours. I'll definitely be braiding my loose hair into my locs I've been crocheting them for the past year or so to get the new growth to loc in. I'm watching this then going to retwist my hair lol
Wow that's so awesome! I love finding my hair twin ;-). I remember looking and not being able to find anyone with similar hair to mine. Do you feel like the crocheting lasted or did the hair eventually make its way outside of your locs again? I've tried to crochet but I just can't seem to do it correctly lol
U can crochet the ends closed really easily🎉 I haven't finished the video of u said that already.
That's very true except I haven't been able to successfully crochet any loose hair for my locs. I'm thinking about combing out the ends a little to get back my loose curly ends that I had before I trimmed my locs.
@@itsDawnElle that's very true and a good idea. I'll keep that in mind too if I ever trim mine, I might have the same experience with my hair. Thanks for sharing your journey
@@simonejeanette7066 you’re so welcome!!🤗☺️
Don't worry girly! I'm sure those frayed ends will seal back up in their curly form eventually in time.
That's true Mari because I already saw like 2 of them do so on their own :-).
You make me want to loc my hair ❤
Carol.....I say DO IT!!! Lol ;-) It was the best decision ever for me related to hair and the cool thing is that if you don't like it then you can always comb them out to get your loose hair back.
