    Let me dive into this🤭🔥🔥🔥😄
    I really wish there's anyone or salon around where I reside to help me make a permanent LOC...
    Although, I did a mini twist for almost 4 month, of which I just lose all by myself in section just last week.
    My edges are intact, my hair length grew longer...all through the 4 month, I shampoo, condition, oil, and style less, but kept in bun sometimes because to protect the tips and root... lots of undergrowth 😄😄🔥🔥🔥
    Many people wanted to get their hair locked, thinking I did mine...😂😂😂😂🤣 I had lot's of embarrassing, and same time exciting questions and compliments on my hair😫😂😂😂🤭🤭🤭.
    I don't has breakage too, just a little shedding not upto a table spoon(lol, don't how best to describe😂😜).
    I missed my hair tho, but I had too...but I'm looking beautifully and earnestly for another twist, or perhaps locs, which i can an braid on it too, as quick as I can find, and as God would be helping me🤭🤭.
    I didn't plan for this long writeup, but I think I enjoyed it, especially commenting on sis Zinny's page♥️♥️♥️🙈.

    I love the part where she was talking about how a strand from her locs fell off. The filter and the sound was hilarious!😂😅
    It was giving "let us observe a moment of silence for that one strand".😂

    I enjoyed watching this video as I have been considering getting loced for a while but I have been thinking of when I want to take it out as I am very sure I would want to do that later on.
    I absolutely cannot cut my hair at all. I do not have the energy required to nuture hair from the start.
    A gorgeous locs you have in there I must say though.
    Happy Sunday.

  • @theinfluentialprincess
    @theinfluentialprincess Před 6 měsíci

    I came back to watch this video fully 😂🙈 Immediately it dropped on that day, I texted my friend that I'm now considering making locs. Been a natural hair girlie all my life but I've experimented a lot, esp since I started making my hair by myself in 2018 and being more intentional about my hair growth from 2020
    But now I'm lowkey bored and was thinking of what other thing to do before you posted this. My African parents don't really understand lool but they're okay with me doing what I want with my hair, thank God 😂
    Anyhoo, I think what worries me about locing my hair is what if I want to do something different much later and I'd have to change the style. But my friend (who just clocked her 1 year locs journey) said I could do a temporary one that may last up to 6 months I guess. I think there are also certain loc "terms" I may need to learn but I'll research and get a hang of it 😌 Thank you for the motivation Ezinne, it definitely is your style 🤍🥰🥰

    For someone who also has locs in too, I can totally relate & I also get a lot of questions like you do too. Except that I reloc my hair about 2-3 times all year long cos I have instant locs... I just like that I can let my hair breathe and let her flourish ❤

I'd really love this, Thank you for the motivation, I'd try it.

    0:56 about the frizziness, too. I think it's more peculiar to the 2 strand twists method. As they mature, they would get smoother. I was watching a video by @kekeJ here on youtube, and she mentioned missing her frizzines from her baby micro locs now that hers are mature
