  • Hi! Long time no see… How are you guys?!
    This video is about my first year with locs and how they’ve matured and changed over that time. I’m just dipping my toes into the waters of CZcams again to see how I feel about it.
    My hair was done at Twist and Cut Salon in Denver by Aura
    / twistandcutsalon
    My IG is very sporadically posted to but if you want to follow the handle is the same as my YT channel.
    Thank you for watching!

    Wow girl I have missed you. I have spent months searching for your videos on CZcams and I could not find you and finally I found you this morning at 2:54 am. Thank God. God bless you sis. I hope all is well. And we all hope that you continue to upload on CZcams.

    @themuatas Před 2 lety +2

    Nice...I'm not sure what made me think to check in with you today, but I'm glad I did. I follow you on another one of my youtube channels, but hadn't seen you in the last couple years or more, and hoped that you were okay during the pandemic. Figured you would be helping out in hospitals during this time when I know they needed so many hands on deck. Glad you are doing well, according to your update. Love your locs. Reminds me when I was much younger. I grew my locs for 18 years, until they grew down to my ankles! Finally cut them off in 2016, and now I'm the old lady with the buzz cut! ;) Pretty opposite you my dear...but we all move through life in our own unique way. [sigh] Take good care of yourself! Hope to see you again some time. Hugs, Ayanna

    When this vid popped up and I checked out your channel, I couldn't believe it's been two years! I've missed your videos quite a bit.
    Glad you're doing well and able to have hair that makes you happy with it! I selfishly wish you'd upload now and again, but please do what makes you feel good!

    Hello and welcome back! You were always one of my favorite CZcamsrs and I was so glad to see this video pop up. Even if you don't stay, please know the videos you made all those years ago made a big difference in some of our lives. I never got the chance to tell you that before, so a big *thank you* from the bottom of my heart. 💖
    Glad you're doing well. Your hair looks so good and it suits you so perfectly. You are gorgeous! 🌻🌿

    Thrilled to see and hear you after all of this time. You are one of those people who I would never unsubscribe from even if I knew you MIGHT never post again. I guess I'm hopeful like that? I feel like it's always nice to come back to your content and reflect so I always am in favor of more! (If that's what you wanted) Wishing you all the best! 💗

    How excited I was to see a new video from you! I have missed your content and rewatch your videos for inspiration on minimalism and spiritual living. You were the inspiration for me getting my first buzz cut. ☺️ I have found the nature of your videos enjoyable as you get straight to the point, don’t ramble, and always have a calming presence about you. I would love to see more videos from you if you so choose to pick this up again on a regular basis

    @charlieb9944 Před 2 lety

    You helped give me the confidence to buzzcut my hair because you rocked yours so well. A year and a half later I'm rocking a slightly grown out buzzcut and love it. Your locs look wicked, perhaps like they'd hurt a bit - but so long as its worth it which it looks like it defo is! x nice to see you again!

    I’m happy you’re enjoying your loc journey. I started my locs in November of 2019, I love how versatile and minimal they are; convenient and beautiful with little effort 😊
    also thank you so much for your hard work as an essential worker during this pandemic 🙏🏽

  • @ABSVabeautifulsunsetvlog

    Really glad to see you!!!!! Your hair looks really nice. I’ve had issues in the past with locs that aren’t authentic (extensions), but there’s something about you that gives me peace and makes me feel like it’s ok.

    Just wanna say that your past videos helped me feel less alone in this world at a certain period of my life, and I can't believe it's been 2 and a half years already 😆 I'm grateful for your presence here, but re:closing a chapter, please don't feel pressured if you really think in your heart of hearts that it is the right thing to do. Wishing you the best in your own life journey regardless of which path you take!

    I rarely comment on videos but I just want to say that I'm a long time subscriber and it's so nice to watch you again! I first stumbled upon your buzzcut video which then made me shave my head (I'd been contemplating for a while - you just gave me that extra push). I just did my last shave and I'm ready to finally grow my hair out again and this time play with extensions - never got to in the past! I'm taking this video as a sign for me to do it. Hope you've been well!

    @alpacheeto2589 Před 2 lety

    you were one of my inspirations to buzz my head 2 years ago (along with kehlani). you did rock it. and your rock your locs now. it's interesting to me that you have trich. i have dermatillomania. these behaviors are thought by some to be caused by trauma. i remember when you talked about growing up with a mentally ill parent. i felt very connected to what you shared and it was beautiful to me that you created a peaceful and stable life for yourself as an adult. i was so inspired. i hope you receive back the inspiration and wisdom you put out into the world with your channel so long ago, whether that's by staying with this platform or not.

    Great to see a new video from you!! Very glad you’re doing so well. :)
    I still revisit your older content from time to time too-your minimalist lifestyle videos became one of my “safe spaces” when I found them a few years ago (it sounds like our childhoods were very similar). I’m still working on making my house my own “safe space”. Slowly but surely, I’m getting there! Thanks for the inspiration all this time.
