Nah girl, don't cut off the bulb at the end, that's part of the locking process. It just means your ends are locking up.
Girl, your locs are thriving!! Looks like you have a head packed with lovely curls and ringlets. Beautiful!! Can't wait to see how they evolve over time! Just to let you know I am 11-1/2 months in and I've just started retwisting all of my edges and I continue interlocking the rest of my head. Retwisting my edges help me to maintain neatness at the perimeters while using a gentle hand to protect those delicate strands. So far it's working for me.
I heard that the first year is about shrinking & locking but after the first year that length is gonna start coming in like crazy
This is true
Thanks! I’m ready for the length lol
They look so good..i thought about interlocking my perimeter but I actually like the way my hair looks when retwisted. My locs are like schmedium lol and I'm 2 months and some change
Thank you! I love how the retwists look as well. How long does your retwists last?
@@KekeJ Hmm I really haven't tested the longevity..I know after a week it still looked good. But then I started to spray with water because I'm not locked yet and I saw a vid that said wetting my hair helps it loc quicker.
You inspired me to get micro locs. I have an appointment July 22 for a consultation. Wish me luck in this process!
Ahhh! Good luck Queen! You are going to love them! 🥰🥰
Maaaannnnn you are giving me hair envy 😂 Lionel is thriving out here okay! So excited for your year mark
Thank you so much! 🥰 I’m trying to do a lil sum 😂 but I’m excited for that year mark as well! I can’t believe it’s gone by so fast!
Looking good, those bulbs on the end are suppose to help with sealing your loc ends...Most say don't cut them ( as long as they are not hanging on by a string) just leave them alone,
Ok thanks! One of them was by a string so I did cut that one but I’ll leave the others alone
“I’m literally enjoying every step of the way.” YEESSS!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yesss! 🥰🥰
I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times your smile is so contagious!!! Ahh I really enjoyed your flash back to the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the table lamp. LOL Yes Girl! You have got to start somewhere! So many people feel like you have to have it all before you can start on You Tube or any project for that matter. Its easy to procrastinate and say, well I'll start once I get a better this or that, when getting started is really the key. So thank you for sharing that. Love, love, love your hair! Q AND A: ..........I'm 1 month in. I have some pretty soft hair, and I'm guessing if I had to type it, it would be 3B. Anywhooo I'm experiencing a lot of unraveling of my two strand twists. Normally just the ends, it doesn't unravel all the way up to the root or anything. Did you have this issue? and what do you think would be better, keep re-twisting the ends, or just let them do their thing? Thanx!
Happy 9 months Keke! Locs are looking great and your face is pretty 🥰
Q&A: which is quicker, interlocking or retwisting?
Thanks for this video❤❤❤
Thank you Queen! 💕 and I’ll be sure to answer your question on my Q&A!
Your interloc'd hair shouldn't feel hard at all. try the 3 point rotation, start at the bottom end off at the top. (up, left,down or up,right,down). Having type 4 hair we tend to need more hold on the hair so it doesn't swell/bunch due to our hair being coily and having shrinkage. Also the ball on your hair is just your ends locing/closing, it helps your hair fully loc from root to tip. Usually yhe dont cut them unless its hanging by a thread lol or if you want to keep your ends open/curly. Your hair looks so full, crazy to see how it looks at 1 year
Thank you so much for this information! I’m going to definitely try out that rotation. And I didn’t have to cut one bulb because it was literally hanging by a thread, I was like you gotta go lol. I’m excited for the year mark! Definitely will be showing y’all how she lookin!
Everything about you is adorable💐 I’m ready to comb out my 2nd set of traditional locs and make my 3rd set sister/micro locs. Your journey is very informative 💕
Hello Keke , Happy Locks'monthsversary... I follow your capillary journey from Mozambique.🇲🇿🇲🇿
Kisses!
Much love!! 💕💕 thank you so much! 🥰🥰
I'm so excited to be where you are 😍 I'm 3 months in with my microlocs and it's made me feel so much better about my natural hair. xx ❤️
I am so happy for you! You are going to love your journey! 💕
Braiding your hair regularly can help compress the twisted portion of your locs. It can make them be consistent through the length of the locs
I'm 9 months too! Like you, I'm ready that lengthhh GIRL lol
Yessss ma’am! Lol I’ve been patiently waiting! But she coming for the both of us lol
The excitement for your locs in this video was everything enjoy this journey I will be 1 yr locked in 4 days
What you can do about the fat ends is maybe braid your hair at night for example in order to train your locks and also braid and band when you wash. I heard it helps a lot.
Thanks for this video, I love watching your hair flourishing ✨
Baby they look Amazing 🥰😘
Thank you! 💕
Your bulbs at the end is your ends trying to seal . It’s best not to cut them but some ppl do . Your locs look great
Thank you! 💕
One of my favorite people to follow. I’ll be 10 months on Aug 13th. I have the same issue with fatter ends. I may try retwisting two times to see the difference.
We're on the same timeline. I'm 9 months this week! I started out interlocking, but now I retwist. It seemed like interlocking was causing a lot of stress. I'm finally at the stage where I'm noticing length (especially after a retwist) But truth be told, I like my hair best when I need a retwist because that's when I have the most volume.
Congratulations on 9 months! Your hair is beautiful. I also use the two-point rotation and I’m considering re-twisting too. Please do a video showing how it’s done. Thank you!😊
Thank you! 💕 so you know my struggle! Lol I sure will do so ❤️
@@KekeJ Awesome!! Looking forward to it!!
I like ya vibe, and those locs looks pretty good on you.
Your hair looks great!
Also I noticed that your channel has gotten more exposure since you started your loc journey. At least in my opinion :)
Locs are definitely your thing babe and your channel reflects that
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 for 9 months!
Beautiful 🤩 locs, u doing an excellent job👏🏾👍🏾✌🏾
Congrats! You made my laugh out loud 😆
😂 thank you!
You and your locs are representing out here!! Go hair crush!!!
Tysm! 🥺💕
You hair looks really good! For the fat ends get one of those dread locking tool kit with a pointy end and you can mold or shape your locs. There's lots of video on here that will help you.
Thank you so much! I’m going to research that method!
Your locks are gorgeous....the bulb is a knot you can cut it off or leave it ( like the Rasta men lol)...I cut those out....I have very mature locs so I don’t really get anything at the ends anymore...mine are rear end length now....enjoy your journey you are at the fun stage...
Thank you so much! 💕 I may cut them off as well. I can’t wait for mine to get that length! Lol
9 months strong!!!!! They’re lookin beautiful love!! 😍😍
Thank you Queen! 🥰🥰
Hey just found you on Instagram and had to follow on this loc journey, I'm just a month in🙌
Thank you Queen! And I’m sooo excited for your journey! You’re gonna love it! 💕💕
Been watching you since the first set of locs. I'm 17 mths in!🌌🌠🧚♂️💜🧚♀️☮ my baby locs are fully loc-ing. I've been doing my own reties since I started my locs. I workout 3-4 days a wk so retwist wont work. Thankfully I get an inch of growth every 4wks this time I stretched to 6wks 🥴🥴 wont do that again.
Congratulations on your 9 months milestone. You hair is gorgeous and you wear those locs well🌹
Thank you so much! 💕
9 months here too 💜⭐🎉 Your locs look great 🥳
Congrats on your 9 months as well!!! Thank you so much! 💕
You're a hugeeeeee loc motivation...I'm three months in
Don't cut the bulb. It's part of the locking process.
Happy 9 Months locs look amazing 👍🏾👏🏾🤗🙌🏾 and great video as always
Thank you so much! ❤️
@@KekeJ Your welcome 🤗
Girl your Bob and fullness of your hair is Gorgeous 😍.
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰
Please do that barrel twist video I've seen it done but really wanna see how you pop it💯
YAY !!!!!
Love your locs, personally i think you should retwist so you get a thicker fluffy loc butttttt you can 2 strand twist so that your twist hold as long as interlocking does. Also any chance you color the front part of your hair again?! I loveddddddd that😭👑
Thank you so much! I am strongly leaning towards retwisting because of that reason. And I was thinking about that! But I may color just the ends next time to give like an ombré effect
@@KekeJ i feel you on that, i use to go back and forth allll the time, either way your locs🔥, and dopeee that would also look rlly good on you👑
Omg... I thought it was just my hair that was doing it's own thing. I also have this one loc that's just doing whatever it wants. It's longer than the rest, or more stretched than the rest and just hangs down while the others are still loose and curly at the ends.
Same! lol some of them just have a mind of their own lol
I love your accent so much 😊
Lionel is looking goodt! but as far as the bulbs on the end, Ive heard you shouldnt cut them because its helping with the locing process
Thank you!! 💕
You hair looks so good. You got be over here thinking about locing my hair again😁. So question: how big where your sections when started? ie 3/8,1/4 just curious because I like the size of your locs #QandA
Are you afraid of thinning/ have you noticed any because you're locs are smaller? Also, are you planning on combing your hair out one day? Q&A
Thank you for this question! I’ll answer it on the Q&A!
5:50 Yes 👏 ma’am 👏 🤪
have you considered locksmithing? i don't know if that would be a good alternative but after seeing it done it made me think twice about whether i want to interlock when i get locs.
I really only followed you for natural hair advice but now that you have locks we won’t get that so it’s kinda disappointing but as long as you’re happy with your hair that’s all that matters
Congrats gal!!
Q&A: Can you tell the difference in your locs between the interlocked and retwisted parts(back when you were retwitsting? Coz I can on mine..the retwisted parts are like bulbs in-between my locs as opposed to interlockd parts. PS. I'm also struggling with shrivelled ends
Thank you! 💕 I’ll answer your question on the Q&A!
@@KekeJ YEYYY! And a shoutout all the way from Kenya
What's this set you're wearing? Love dah colour 😊
Hello Keke your hair is lovely, but about the bulb don't cut them it shows your hair is locking
When will you take on clients? I want my hair like yours. And yes you are special #Q&A
Thank you Queen! 🥰 I will definitely answer this on the Q&A!
I love your hair, it’s beautiful??? We have the same hair type
Thank you!
lolll i feel exactly like you i hit 9 months on the 20th😆
Happy 9 months! I hit 9 months on the 12!
Do you put any oil on your hair??
I do every 3-4 days with water
What kind of locs do you have I started my loc journey July 16,2021
Don't cut your ends... as your locs mature they will draw up
Thank you!
how many locs do you have?
Had you been had that extra part of your tattoo? Ik you had one on your shoulder it just looks bigger 🤔😅
I have lol for a lil over 2 years now
Today is my 3rd month
Happy 3 months! So excited for your journey!
ms keke, why do you say lions and lioness?
Ms. Lionel is my mane and my zodiac sign is a Leo. So I named the community after a lion’s pride. And we’re all lions and lioness in the pride 😊
LOVE IT!!!😃👍🏻
That's called a fairly not
