  • dont be imbarass at least u dont have red blonde black and brown hair

  • This inspired me so much! I've been thinking about getting dreads for months now, I recently cut my hair, so it's shaved in the back & long in the front. I've always wanted to have long hair, & this video just influenced me to get them, so as soon as my hair gets to a good length to get dreads, I will get them! Thank you so much! & I love your videos! :)

  • you're really pretty

  • can i have one of those hats?!

  • what is this crazy cool song?

  • your cultural distinctions. Her voice, education and mannerisms have nothing to do with her race. Get educated.

  • When you think someone sounds like a whitey it means you are confined by y

  • 4:09 is really cute!

  • I never thought I'd watch a 9 minute video about a girls hair and enjoy it all the way through. But I did.

  • i'm at 2 years now.. imma see if what you say is true lol

  • I love 2:09. Looks good

  • your locks are so hot and beautiful!!!

  • I do not like straight hair on black people, ok, on my self. I love you with the natural look. You look ten times prettier!

  • I think its time for another 4 year bday timeline...or did I overlook it?

  • @ShannaHairCare i did a 7 year timeline last year. it's on my chescalocs channel. i'll be doing an 8 year one but not until february, because that's when i started my locs :)

  • I went to private schools my whole life and have heard almost all of those comments from people who i went to school with. they werent trying to be offensive they were just ignorant. I am so glad you made this video so people will think twice. love you girl! you are a star ! i hope to meet you one day :) xoxoxoxoxox

  • Do you have any suggestions of what keep you going day to day? OMG i love you! I also love the shit white girls say to black girls video. I have watched it like 15 time and i laugh out loud each time.

  • you inspired me to keep with my dreads i started them this past july 2011 and its in that stage where i just wanna put on a head tie constantly. I am married so i still wanna keep looking cute to keep things interesting but short dreads are sooooooo hard to style!!! I think i will go the head band and hat route its soooo hard and my dreads are still locking so doing styles seem like it might stressed my dreads out during their budding phase.

  • i love youuuuuu! i just discovered you a few months ago in looking for loc tutorials and your videos are captivating and inspiring. You are also very beautiful and i LOVE the styles you come up with. Your energy is extremely positive and i am soo excited i found you. I am bummed i didnt know about you when you first started on here but everything happens for a reason and when its supposed to.

  • Whats the fastest way to grow dreads I'm trying to get some but I want them messy not really oily it's hard to disribe

  • @TEAMxEPICxSPACE there's no fast way. just wait it out or get extensions

  • @chescaleigh lol ok i shoud not had cut them off  in the first place time to start my long rode to dreads lol

  • i really enjoyed ur video...ur so beautiful! and all the styles rocked!! thanks for the inspiration. i've just decided to start locks, after being natural for a little over a year...i've decided to start off with two-strand twists, will see how it goes...i just hope i can really stick it out :-) thanks again!!

  • 4:16 so cute :)

  • My favorites are 2:29, 3:01, 5:52, and 7:30 

  • love your hair i started natural around easter did the same thing as you chopped off all the perm and started twisting....you are so pretty love the styles i need to learn to do them;)

  • 2:12 looks great.

  • The love it when a girl who knows what looks good on her and dresses like she's worth something.

  • I remember watching this years ago....Can't believe you're the same person who has that ish white girls say video. I love when old people I used to watch reemerge years later with big videos. lol

  • @busymike same girl! i didn't reemerge though, i've been steadily making videos for 5 years. where you been?

  • @busymike yea me too lol it's like I saw them before the fame lol

  • u sexy ma love a woman wit dread locks

  • YOU ARE SOOOO GORGEOUS!!!!! LOVE YOU GIRL!!!

  • my dreads have a mind of their own!!!! im at two years now and it's thickening but there are some dreads that look like twigs!!! but thanks for the inspiration! i can't wait till mine get really long like yours are now ! :)

  • You are so gorgeous & can pretty much look rockin' in any hairstyle! I'm just amazed it took four years to grow your hair that length! It maybe takes me 5-6 months to get to your length from a pixie cut. O_O; (my hair's a weed I guess lol) You are very creative and I liked the color combos & jewelry as well as cloche hats you MADE (wow talented) that just look so awesome & put together on you!

  • @corkydawl84 dreads take longer to notice growth because they're cultivated in a coil pattern. so instead of my hair growing straight down, it grows in a spring like shape which is then twisted again into locs. that's what's commonly referred to as shrinkage with loose natural hair. straightened my hair would be a lot longer :_

  • @chescaleigh Ahhhh OK, well that makes sense, right? You would need long enough hair to get ringlets for example. Thanks! :D

  • @corkydawl84 sorry that was suppose to be a smile lol :)

  • 2:58 - 3:15 is particularly fetching.

  • Very cute!  Btw, you may not like it but, I love that pic of you at 2:09 :))

  • love your personnality!!!!!!

    

  • you are so creative :)

  • I'm in that crappy phase.

  • @GenDog320 hang in there. it gets better, i promise!

  • @chescaleigh I have a few locs that are thin in the front like you did. I am not sure if I should combine them or not. I think my hair line will look crazy if I did combine all of them that are thin :/

  • @GenDog320 only you can make that decision :P 

  • @GenDog320 same here i want it long now :(

  • Loved this!! My lock journey started at 10 years old, so the messy period didn't bother me much, cause I was still a rascal that different care what I looked like, Lol. I'm so vain now, a lot has changed! Totally agree definitely worth the wait ;)

  • haha. i watched this on a whim but i am so glad i did! I cut my hair short about 2 years ago and it has just been getting shorter and shorter since then. It' s finally so short that i could no longer cut it anymore without shaving it(and that's a big no no for me) so now I'm in a weird stage where it's grown out about an inch so i wanna cut it again but then again I want to grow it long just so I could have fun cutting it short again :D

  • you look just like my ex-girlfriend, damn now I'm in love again :p

    

  • awesome, give thanks! Healthier and easier! You are adorable!

  • at 246 how did you make that picture with two different pics!!

  • @Gizzle100985 photoshop!

  • yur freaking awsome i love all yur vids n ur locs

  • I always watch this video for inspiration during this awkward stage I'm going through right now. 10 months :)

  • ooo this is so cute :) I love that one bright purple lock near the two year mark when you have it in curls. do you know whatg dye you used? :)

  • @LockedANDNerdy thanks! the brand is manic panic

  • Happy birthday to your hair girl !! Nice job!

  • thnk u, dreads here i come

  • you are just about the cutest dread I've seen on here! I really appreciate the fact that you are so articulate and do not fall into the stereotype however wrong or right it is. your styles are awesome and I definitely have some ideas for mine - especially love the wild colors you used.

  • i need you in my life like everyday seriously =)

  • i love your hats! I'm inspired to make my own :)

  • when u first started ur locks how long was ur hair?

  • @AonoTsukune69 not sure of the exact length, but the photo in this video is from the day i got my comb coils, so you can see how long it was. maybe 2 or 3 inches?

  • i needed this im about to start getting locs i need tones of advice if you could share nicblackwell14@yahoo.com

  • @mranybodygetit please check out my hair channel "chescalocs" and the hair FAQ on my website. if something isn't covered, shoot me an email

  • Very nice hair...

  • RastafarI love

  • This video made me smile. You are a creative, beautiful young woman ... and you inspire me ... a 48 yo, newly-loc'd chick. It was six months yesterday for me. Don't think I'll be dyeing them blue and/or pink, like you did ... *lol* ... although I am rocking an auburn brown with reddish highlights at the moment. Anyway ... love your videos. If and when you ever get tired of the length, I suggest cutting your hair into a bob ... that's what I'm working towards. *hugs*

  • love her dreads!

    

  • your beautiful ittttss true

  • @1andonlytheo why thank you!

  • chesca, i noticed that you said you might shave your hair when u get tired of the locs. of course you can do that if you want but it would be nice to see you with your hair down when you get tired of the locs. i am sure your hair would be gorgeous. peace and blessings nubian queen.

  • You are so pretty and I love your hair!

  • WOW!!! I love the crochet hats....I want one....do u sell them?

    My locs are short might look good on me

    Mostly love those with the shells

  • Wow you are so creative!!!

  • you are so beautiful. 

  • you are stunning.

  • You make me wanna get dreads, but I'm a white blonde so it would probably look really awkward. You look good in anything, I liked it when it was short too. You are really beautiful :)

  • @flowingover thanks! i've seen some really beautiful Caucasian women and men with blonde locs

  • What is the song on this video????

  • i luv ur videos do more! u got a whol life wating 4 excitment and u did say utube is ur life

  • @tinyti3 i never said youtube is my life

  • @chescaleigh lmbo

  • yaaaay your hair rocks

  • Your photos are so beautiful

  • This is my FAVORITE dread video on YouTube and I've watched tons of really good videos. This one pulled my out of a funk when my dreads were a lot shorter and I was just feeling down about not having any style choices. GREAT VIDEO! Thank you for posting it.

  • @morpheosa thank you! i did a video on my chescalocs channel last month to celebrate my hair's 7th birthday. hope you'll check it out!

  • LOL your hats are so ugly gal! But your dreads are beautiful. My daughter is doing 2nd year in college and she started hers in her freshman year. She is very understanding about the short phase more than I do. For me the biggest thing is I want them to lock so I can swim and do everything I want to do. I will share your vid with her. Great job.

  • @ThandiNC um. thanks?

  • @chescaleigh I did not mean it in a bad way gal, I just meant that in a friendly way. But I love the loc trend because it means we can finally redefine our own look and be proud of who we are and share that pride with everyone else in the world. We are the only race of people that has to change the way it looks in order to be accepted and now we are saying take us as we are. You don't know how empowering that is. And, my hair is no longer an issue. I forget that I have locs even at work.

  • @ThandiNC well, despite your intentions, backhanded compliments aren't very friendly. you have to remember that online, your words carry more weight because you don't have your voice to soften the blow. i'm glad you enjoyed the video and that locs means so much to you. i'm happy to inspire and share a new perspective. i just put up a new happy birthday hair video on my chescalocs hair channel covering the past 3 years. hope you'll check it out and see what i've been up to since 2008!

  • @ThandiNC and promise i'm not offended. just wanted to give you a different perspective on your comment.

  • wow i dont have locs but u mke it look sooo cool and cuuuutte!!!! i wonder if i could just put like plaits and try ur styles lol i reallly wnt to try itt

  • u kind of look like william in a way!! u look so cute u shud start modellin! :D

  • I love thus big juicy lips of black girls. It's a pitty that there isn't much colourful people here in my area, would be really interesting to get to know other cultures. No racial :)

  • OMG i'm in that first phase ( 2:00 ) Right now. I think I look kinda weird but it's nice to know i'm not the only one that has gone/going through this phase. Those were also nice, and really CUTE ideas on covering it up. Did you make the headbands also????

  • @SPsokrbaby1 i made the button headband. not sure what other ones are in this video...can't believe this was 3 years ago! eeep!

  • Whoa you got some saaaweeeeeet dreads

  • this was so entertaining and i don't know why. did you go to an art college?

  • @jelly1245 i went to a performing arts high school where i studied acting, then i studied acting in college for 2 years before transferring schools and studying graphic design. i guess i wear my artistic background on my sleeve :)

  • wow! i cant wat til my hair locs and gets to that point

  • I love this video!!!

  • I apologize if you answered this question previously, but how did you start your locs? I'm pretty sure I'm going to start mine with two strand twists, but I just wanted to know what method you used?

  • @ELJones00 please read the FAQ on my chescalocs channel :)
