  • hmmm I wonder if I can pull this off as a guy ...

  • Sooooooo Cute :-)

  • Do you have braids or locs?

  • @KUSOPOEE Ha! Hmmm let's see...This is a "loc bunhawk". So chances are I have locs :)

  • Oops...I guess I shoulda noticed that.

  • @KUSOPOEE no problem

  • my daughter was determined to have this style so we finally did it and it was a hit!

  • @jkalm4ofus awesome! glad i could help!

  • If the hair is longer than hers you can have the end of the hair (bun) finish at the front and you get a really doody / cool fringe(UK ppl) / bangs (USA ppl)

  • did it. worked great!!thx 4 the tip

  • Your soooo pretty and the hairstyle looks great on id probably look like a freak in it hahhaha

  • the music has what is sounds like a rubber band in the background, it fits the bands u are puting in your hair to hold it in place...as if there ruber bands...did u purposly use this song? also WHO IS IT? it sounds a bit like AIR ( the group) PEACE OUT.

  • haa! i didn't think of that, but kinda! it's not AIR but it does sound similar to their style. they're great. it's a royalty free song called "backed vibes"

  • I love your tuturials and your style. Keep them coming I've been wanting to find some styles for longer loc's. Thank you, thank you

  • Thank you somuch...i have been lookin for ways to do my dred an have gotten so confused....i have been lookin for you for years...copied this style and i am goin to work today....thank you again...and looking forward to watchin you... your funny with a good spirit...keep up the good work....i can see you being rich and famous one day...A New FAn

  • aw thanks for your kind words :)

  • I love this style! I just started my locs 1 month ago, but I can't wait for my hair to get longer so I can try this. Just beautiful.

  • I know you said you got this idea from someone/thing else but you are very creative in the hairstyling department yourself. I have checked out some of your other hair videos and I wish I would have had some of those examples when my hair was shorter b/c I was at a complete loss as to WHAT THE HELL I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE LOCKS. Anyway, those days are long gone!!!!!! Thanks for the example.....AWESOME.

  • It's been a while since I've played with my hair my hair length goes beyond my knees. Thank you and the many others thus far for some wonderful ideas for dreadlocks this is just exquisite...

    Mrs. Bahamianchild1970...

  • always glad to inspire :)

  • On a real tip, MOST non-natural sisters (weaves and perms) do look down on natural sisters; something that I despise. I reply with, "Yeah, but I ain't gonna need a wig at 40." (laughing)

    Then, when you challange their blackness, they get all uptight. My thing is 'dont have on me 'cause I love being black' (laughing.)

  • yo, I tried this hairstyle and it is soooo dope. Thanks so much for the tutorial

  • NICE!

  • I love this! It looks really cute on you and I can't wait to try this style on my locks once they mature! Thanks for posting.

  • I love your video! I wish I could do this but I'd have a ton of little buns because my dreads are shorter than yours and smaller. I'll try it out though! 5 stars and thanks!

  • you look so cute love the hairstyle XD

  • This is a beautiful lock style! Your how to vidoes are awesome Chescaleigh!

  • Love all of the how-to-videos! My locs are around the same length as yours, and u gave me a variety of styles to play with. U seem like a very talented young lady, good luck to u in life my dear (beautiful voice by the way...) and I feel if u have haters out there, u must be doing something right...lol!

  • Hi Chescaleigh...I really love all of your videos with your different lock styles. I HAD to make sure that I set up a youtube accouont to comment on this IDIOT below SexyAzz Whoever she is. Why do people have to have so much hate? If she didn't have anything nice to say..well she should have kept her comments to herself. I love your lock and especially the bun mohawk. It's too adorable

  • Hi 1Berriberry, I totally agree and sent Chescaleigh a personal and supportive message in addition to my comments below regarding this SexyAzz idiot as well. I even went as far as to block this jackass user; in wanting nothing else to do with her on YouTube.  And, you know what? Natural sisters do much better in terms of healthy hair and scalp growth. So, this child's comments are uneducated and stupid.

  • not only are you an idiot, but you have no grammatical skills whatsoever. "know the hell it's not" ?! are you serious!? it's N-O. get a clue before you go insulting me. thanks.

  • like i said, if you're going to insult me, at least TRY to come off as intelligent. good luck continuing to stir up drama on youtube. you look a mess insulting strangers over the internet.

  • Your videos are always the sh*t and as I stated earlier, folks do their hair however they want, but ain't no need for folks to be so damn insulting. I also sent you a personal message regarding SexyAzzHell93's comments, letting you know in an extreme way to keep your head up high. This person has an issue on YouTube because you ain't the first (1st) and only person she's cursed out.

  • thanks for your support. it means a lot :)

  • SexyAzzHell93 is a kid in the first place so just like a child that cannot spell or have a complete thought in their head....Sis you need not worry!

    I just wish some black women would get it through their heads perm does not make-up for insecurity neither does a weave.....but kids would not know that...Fran keep doing what you are doing we love it...:-)

  • Okay, no offense, but you are taking this to another level. If you are a sister who chooses to perm your hair, that is one thing, but calling people out of their name and making comments like these are not necessary. You sound worse than a KKK member, because you are insulting your own people. And, not all natural hair is the same. You got afros, short cuts, dreadlocks, etc. Just because you have bought into Eurocentric ways of beauty, doesn't mean that you gotta go insulting other people.

  • That was a very rude comment she doesnt need a perm. Natural hair is for black women that are comfortable with how God made them. I have nothing against women that get perms but have you ever read and looked up what is in that stuff? But to each his own I don't judge people so who are you to tell her to put damaging chemicals in her hair? why? to look more European. It not the 19th century, we don't need to look like "masta" no more. Please dont have Willie Lynch syndrome ok,its not cute.

  • Hi VicaQueen09, I totally agree. I have massive debates with classmates and even some within my own girlfriend circles in terms of Eurocentricity and its connection to hair. I was raised to be natural and have been natural since 1st grade; to an extreme of shaving my head in high school; something that was not easy when dealing with other black schoolmates. Hell, I'm 24 and have NEVER had a WEAVE. I now have locks that are down my back.

  • @VicaQueen09 i agree with what you're saying but locs aren't just for black women either.

  • Learn something. It so sad to hear someone(especially a female) talk that way. I bet you dont even know what your REAL texture of hair looks or feels like. Making ignorant comments like these just proves how small some people in the world are!

  • Its easier to love someone than to hate them. Remember that young one.

  • thanks for your kind and insightful words

  • @chescaleighGOD i LOVE your HAIR!!! I'm really considering going natural, but i dont know where to start...im thinking about doing braid outs until my perm wears off...i have really thick and shoulder length hair already, and its a decent texture/grade....what conditioners do you use for ur natural hair? I really need help!!! thanks :)

  • thanks! i use a shea butter conditioner on my hair. i can't think of the brand name, but shea is great for your hair. best of luck in your new hair journey!

  • Im starting my loc journey soon and I'm looking forward to doing this style one day!!! You are a BIG inspiration!!!! Luv ya long time lol

    ~Hazel

  • So im going out tonight with some good friends from college. I didnt set my hair last night so I figure I'd check you out for some style ideas. (tired of seing the same ones in the mags). I check out the GAGA Bow and then I check this one. At first im thinking bunhawk...ummmm might be a lil too extreme for my taste (which is hard to do, lol). I WAS leaning toward the GAGA Bow...Now i dont know which one to do! ooo! ooo! ooo! What about a BowHAWK!!! That sounds crazy enough to work!!

  • DOPE

  • You rock.

  • thanks for giving me so much love!

  • omg thank u so much for the idea and link to the blog site!!! i can't wait till my dreads r long enough to do that style... :)

    people like u r the reason why natural is so beautiful...also don't ever take ur hair how to's down...my heart would break...

    one more thing, you're amazing ; )

  • I loved this daring 'do! Alas, being an older lady, I could wear it only if I looked more like Grace Jones. However, it looks really cute on you!

  • Nice hair style, at the moment I am trying to achieve the locs look with yarn, and eventually grow locs again. All the best.

  • Looks Awesome! i remember when your hair was short. You had so many different hairstyles then too.

  • it is hard for me to do updo such as this one because my hair always looks like I haven't twisted in months. Even the day after I retwist. But I really like this style. I might just rock it anyway fuzzies and all.lol

  • What product (if any) are u using to twist your hair? That might be the root of your problem (no pun intended)

  • Over these 5 years I have used some of everything. I was hoping that you could tell me of something new to try. I have tried the Mango and lime it does well but makes my scalp it like crazy....lol. I have what my friends call fuzzy dreads...lmao

  • This is sooo unique and cute! Loves it!

  • I LUV your locs. Mine are about two years old and finally starting to get a little longer!

  • this ROCKS!!!! I am SOOOO wearing my hair like this for the weekend!!! I swear you have the BEST styles!!!

  • Love the look. Very creative.

  • Nice!!! You look soo good and you wear that halter neck with honor ;)

  • i'm obsessed with halter tops and high waisted skirts.

  • I fully understand. With shoulders and arms like yours it's a knock out. ;)

  • how many locs do u have???????

  • last time i counted, 114

  • i have over 400

  • wowowoww

  • that is so beautiful! I love it

  • This is pretty cool I cant wait until I have that length. great job

  • What is that song, and who is it from?

  • check the video description for a link to the anno domini records page on soundclick

  • ...hmm maybe I can do this with short locks too as long as i can make a bun

  • if not, you can just pull the hair up and leave it loose. that's more of a traditional mowhawk style, but still very cute

  • Hotep dollface...looks fantastic!! I can't wait to get started with my loc journey. Your videos have definitely been a wonderful source of inspiration. Job well done bella!

  • this is so adorable!

  • This is cute!

    Shalom & Blessings!

  • Rock Star!

  • Ok, so I know you prob get this all the time but I need to know where I can go to find some styles for men with locs. Mine are to my shoulder now and I do is pony tails. Please help!?!?!

  • i do get this all the time. i'm working on it :)

  • Woops!

  • heeee looking great!!!!! thumbs ups..."

  • i love this hair style! very original and beautiful :D thank you so much for posting this video :)

  • Pretty awesome. Each time I watch a video of yours I wonder why I haven't just gone ahead and start locing my hair already...

  • Can you do the same thing with Kinky Twists?

  • Yea I'm sure u could

  • cute. i like the decoration with the strings. im gonna try it with colored ribbon for a going out look.

  • Strings? Never considered that. I'm sure you'll make it look cute

  • You look better every time I see a new post. How's the hubby?

  • Aw thanks! Great! He's lost over 25lbs and is getting excited for law school

  • I start alw school in Aug. as well at Southern Universty Law School in Baton Rouge. Where is he going?

  • He got a full ride to St. John's in Queens New York! Congrats to you on law school!

  • this music is soothing

  • Awesome interpretation!!!! Simple and fly!!! My kind of style!

  • how did u start your locs? also do you maintain them on your own or go to a salon?

  • 5 years and i've always done it myself. Please watch my happy birthday hair and FAQ videos :)

  • i love it!

  • how many years did you say your locs were? that style is very becoming of you.

  • 5 years. thanks!

  • You make me wish I had your hair!! <3 you sweetie!

  • Lochawks rock! :)

  • It's adorable Chesca! I can't wait for my locks to grow out more.

  • love it! looks really good on you !:)

  • oh wow thats so amazing, even though im a guy lol. The only thing i can rock with my dreads are pony tails and mohawks lol.

  • i looove when guys wear mohawks. so hot

  • This is a cool Club hairdo;)

    I see you dancing about in strobe light!!

  • Great minds think alike!

  • that is SO cute.

  • Very nice

  • did you ever think you could grow your hair this long and this healthy when you were little?

  • I've always wanted long hair and my mom always wore her hair long when I was growing up. But once I started perming my hair I was constantly cutting it to get rid of the damaged ends and I felt like my hair would never grow. So this is the first time I've ever had this much length and I love it. I want my hair down to my butt before I consider cutting it or doing something different w it

  • very very cute!!!

  • Really Cute..Great job!

  • that is so cool

  • i really love this style!

    it would be great for going out.

  • Exactly. Perfect club hair

  • nice

  • creatve spin on the 'hair hawk'

  • COOL!...

  • So cute..I love it!

  • u meant naturalhairbeautiful instead of naturallybeautiful?

  • her blog address is naturalhairbeautiful but the name of her blog is naturally beautiful

  • ok thanks!

  • love this style!

  • thats pretty cool

  • very interesting, the outcome is quite attractive. You do a nice job.

  • hi chescaleigh! this is a really cute style--love the length of your locs! be blessed

  • so glad to see you doing a hair vid. I love these. Their so relaxing and I love the beat in the back.

    Very cool.

  • thank you! i put a link to the artist's page so you can check out more of their music!

  • HAWT!

  • nvm i dont have enough length for style XD

  • :( i feel like you cater more to women on these loc style videos. give me a unisex style pleaseeee

  • fist off, thanks for your comment. i don't see myself as catering towards anyone. i'm not a professional hairstylist so i really only do hair for/on myself. and while this style might not be for you, i've seen men wearing lochawk styles before. i've gotten a lot of requests to do more styles for men but i haven't found anything that i'm interested on wearing myself so i haven't delved into that. but if you find a style you'd like me to recreate for men i'll gladly try. send me a photo if you can

  • do a google search for thierry baptiste

    he has a ton of great loc photos including styles for guys. mostly basket weaves (which i've done before) and cornrows for guys which i'm horrible at, but i'm trying to get better. hope that helps for the time being.

  • thanks for not taking it the wrong way. i didn't mean to come off insulting. your videos are top quality :-)

  • No problem. I knew u didn't mean it that way. Plus, I have been asked about styles for guys and it's something I'm looking into.

  • So cute!!!!! Love this!!

  • funky style...loved it!

  • This really makes me want locs.

    Looks very cool.

    *goes to the bathroom mirror and attempts to recreate this look*

    Wish me luck. My most involved hair style involves a single hair clip. Mm.

  • U could totally rock this look. Or do the cool cornrow fauxhawk, I love that style

  • loves it!

  • You and your bangs (lol). Great job, Franchesca! This how-to's been a long time coming.

  • Haa! U know I love bangs! Thanks for your constant support and friendship :)

  • trying it tomorrow ~ Love it

  • love it girl

  • you look pretty..

  • haha i dont have dreads but i just watch because its interesting X]

  • Oh So FuNkY...LuV iT!!!...i've gotta try to do a short loc versios...gr8 video chesca

  • I am so glad that your hair is long and real. Weaves are common. LOL. You are special.

  • Thanks

  • can't wait to do things like that to my hair..for now I wait at this mid stage

  • OMG..your eyes look amazing

  • thaaanks! i thought this look deserved a dramatic cat eye

  • cool style.

  • I like. Think I will try it.

  • I dont have loc's but I love the fauxhawk, I usually do my moms hair and was playing around a few weeks ago with the idea. I eventually got several extensions and did one. Not to blare my own horn...but it was pretty damn awesome.

    Chel, I think we are great minds...we think alike! ;-)

    Lovely creation!

  • that's awesome! working with extensions is tough, so kudos to you

  • By the way I liked this video. Loved your eye make-up as well.

  • It was ok. Nice locs. Hey when I return, may we meet up for a nice breakfast or lunch, my treat? Let me know.

    -Omar.

  • I love your eye makeup!!

    This hair style is to cute!!

  • yeah the eye make-up is nice
