My daughter's loc update 09/12/08

[mylaylay18]

This is so precious!!!!! :-)

[winiver77]

aaahh what pretty locs .... can i have some!!!!!

[LaMonica83]

I'm starting my lock process now. I'm scared to wash my hair cause I'm afraid the coils might come apart.

[tbey82]

@LaMonica83 Don't be afraid just wash them gently concentrating on the scalp and retwist immediately afterwards. They shouldn't unravel. I washed my daughter's locks the every week when I first started hers...never had a problem

[misscandice]

She's adorable!! Did she actually want to get her hair loc'd??

[tbey82]

@misscandice Yes she did

[ebbynoel12]

Very nice dreads....best ive seen in awhile...

[WoozyVSLTV]

oh and she is beautiful btw

[WoozyVSLTV]

wow you must be a hair stylist..I want her dreads!!!

[kittykatbrat2]

she is too cute...and her hair is pretty

[jadakiss827]

Your daughter's locks are beautiful!!!

[tbey82]

@jadakiss827 Thank you!

[FREDRICK209]

wat did u use to twist it with

[tbey82]

When I started her locks I used black protien gel. Only once to start her hair with. Since her first retwist I use Pink queen helene gel

[onerobmcc23]

Beautiful!!

[LGKids]

what type of shampoo and conditioner do you use for her hair. I'm in the process of doing a similar style for my daughter.

[tbey82]

I currently use Dr.Bronner's peppermint soap diluted and I just started using a tea tree oil conditoner from trader joe's that's pretty good.

[bkdiamond124]

where did you purchase the prong pins? I'll be needing those and still have not found them! lol I need like a box of em not those lil packs...I'll try n see if I can find em in BK when I go cuz Staten Island is limited

[tbey82]

I got them at the local beauty supply store. I think the box had 100 in them.

[509CHIK]

TOO CUTE AND YOU DID AN EXCELENT JOB.

[tbey82]

Thanks :)

[SandraKayeII]

She looks absolutely beautiful. I love locs on little girls. Away with those extensions, its too much trouble.

[Desaundrea]

I have watched this vid twice now and I STILL love her hair. :o)

[mindyourbizok]

Your daughter is cute and I love the locs!

[dreams1709]

She is such a cutie! I love the finished product, so neat... Loved it...

[hotmodelchiq]

I said I would loc my daughters hair when I had one and someone once told me little girls shouldn't have locs... This is a great example of how a little princess would be BEAUTIFUL with locs!!! keep up the good work!

[tbey82]

Thank you for the postive feedback!

[kremeykreme]

hey do u part her hair with a comb or do u just grab and twist

[tbey82]

yes I use a comb to clean the parts before retwisting the lock

[Desaundrea]

I think people that say little girls or women for that matter shouldn't have locs are still stuck with the undo negative image of the Rastifarians and their locs. Although they wear their hair loced for religous reasons people still perceive them as non conformers. So when women loc their hair (or little girls) the same people see us as rebelling and non conformers. Those people need to get a clue I say.

[tbey82]

Yeah sad but true. I wish people didn't look at it as rebelling more like exploring our own culture rather than following the european standards that are imposed on us. Thanks for watching and commenting :)

[iiG0tMy0wn]

her hair looks so good

you should do a tutorial video on how you did that

[janibryan]

nice and cute :D

[dreaded1leo]

so my lil girl says to me , daddy i want my hair like yours , so i explained a few things to her about it , even showed her your little girl's slide show and your journey , she has her heart set on it now. any advice?

[HoneyLuv321]

@ dreaded1leo....If you have explained to her and showed her the things it takes to maintain locs....I say go for it...If it comes to a time that she wants them out, You can comb them out..even though it is tedious and time consuming.. Good Luck to you and you lil girl in whatever you decide.

[ccwmsondeck]

wow nice job!

[ILOVEJEEZY]

NICE! I LOVE HER HAIR

[tbey82]

Thank you :-D Yes I do palm roll every other week.

[djgdfolk]

YO DAUGHTA HAIR off da chain!!!

..DO U PALM ROLL HER HAIR , wen u retwist?? , thanks

[frosted1e]

oh my gosh your daughter is beautiful and so is here hair!!!!! good job

[eshatrina]

it looks great!! so y don't u save money n retwist ur own head?? u do such a wonderful job on ur daughter's??

[tbey82]

I need to right? lol. I hate doing my own hair it's hard keeping my hands over my head for so long. I do retwist sometimes in between salon visits but I only do the front.

[trulyhis407]

Aww! Now, she is one of the most adorable things I've seen in a while...her hair is so cute!!! Wonderful job!

[tbey82]

Thanks you :)

[curleedst]

She is adorable and you did a wonderful job retwisting!

[LadyKOL08]

one of the cutest things in the world was at 1:55

[tbey82]

Thanks she can be really silly at times :)

[tbey82]

Dr. Bronner peppermint soap. And pantene women of color conditioner

[Bebra73]

her locks look really healthy!! i was wondering what you use to wash and condition them, thanks!

[napzfaya]

u do a great job with her hair, she's a diva!

[tbey82]

Thanks sweetie appreciate it :)

[yoruba21]

She is too cute!!! I like the pic with her under the dryer-- the look on her face! lol she is like " WHY?!?!?!?!"

[tbey82]

Thank you. She used to HATE the dryer now she doesn't mind.

[essyboo]

2:24 is beautiful =]

[twinronda]

wow, she is absolutely adorable and her hair looks great

[ARTHEROPY]

she is a mess! Cute though, I will be doing my daughter's hair like that. She is only 2 but when she is about 4 I will start them.

[tbey82]

I wish I started hers at 4. Her hair would have been so long by now.

[theincrediblehunt]

how did you first start her locs

[tbey82]

comb coils

[tinypufff]

She is beautiful you use Isoplus setting lotion do you add water and put it in a spray bottle? I know some of them you have to add water.

[tbey82]

No I don't add water. I use any type of setting lotion I can find. I'm using something now called african pride setting lotion. I don't think it matters

[fatalfetish]

Oh my gosh she is SO BEAUTIFUL and her hair is gorgeous...love it. =]

[tbey82]

Thank you

[natural3d]

She is soooo beautiful tell her that everyday cause we know how kids can be I want to do my daughter but her daddy said I can't she's only three it has to be her who says I want them so good luck

[tbey82]

Thank you. At first, my husband was skeptical as well, but after I did it he loves it and she looks so beautiful with them. Maybe he'll change his mind in the future or you do like me and do it anyway...you are the one who does her hair so how could he stop you? ;)

[eluvg1975]

she is such a cutie. I love her locs. I wish my mom would have did mines when I was little. I would have been free at a young age

[tbey82]

Thank you. Your hair is beautiful as well.

[tbey82]

Cool. I'll be posting another update for my daughter this week. Watch out for it. Her hair looks great it's budding and half way locked already. I so jealous of her lol

[vgreenlpn]

thank you so much, for the advice i will let you know how the progress goes

[vgreenlpn]

I retwisted my 8 year olds hair today, it's been a couple of days shy of two weeks since i locked her hair, but i did not wash them, how long do you think that i should wait to wash her hair, i was thinking about another two weeks then wash? what do you think?

[tbey82]

It's your prefrence. I wash my daughter's hair whenever it looks dirty. Since the fall I've been washing it ever 3 weeks to a month. But in the summer, I washed it every 1 1/2 to two weeks. Just use your best judgement. I wouldn't wait longer than a month though.

[tbey82]

you should! My life has been so much easier since locking her hair. No more crying from combing! I do her hair every two weeks. And she loves it.

[RewritingMe]

omg she is to adorable!  I love her locks, good job. I plan on locking my daughter's hair in the near future.

[vgreenlpn]

her hair is looking really good, is her hair locking yet?

[tbey82]

Yeah. Its budding. She's going thru the frizzy stage now. I have it in a ponytail right now and it looks like she doesn't have locs it is sooo frizzy. I'm going to be doing her hair over this weekend and I'm going to post it. I'll be three months for her on sunday.

[SugarShandy]

She is soo cute...

[tbey82]

Thank you

[tinabina82]

These look great! Your daughter loves the camera too, lol.

[tbey82]

Yeah she's a diva in traing lol

[stephaniebarney]

she is soooo cute i love her hair. the picture as .42 was perfect do u ever plan on taking them out?

[tbey82]

Nah I don't plan on it. But in the future when she's older it'll be her decision. But by that time her hair will be down to her behind and she probally won't want to take them out lol.

[mishamisha88]

well done

[yochick]

her locs are cute now, but they are gonna get huge as the grow. I say that because you used such a big section of hair for each loc.

[tbey82]

No they won't. They only look bigger because the boxes are square and neat. They will be a medium size, not too small. She has thin hair so if I did them any smaller they would risk thinning out. But subscribe so you can see the progress a year from now. Thanks for comment.

[ibbs72]

Oh my goodness she is gorgeous and the locs look fabolous on her....this video is precious, Great job on her loc maintenance sis! Blessings. :)

[tbey82]

Thank you :)
