Do you maintain your hair yourself or do you see a loctician once in a blue moon?

[Ladyjakuma]

Hi...what do you use on your hair? I love the song!!

[frankydiezel]

@Ladyjakuma thanks soo much sis! i mix either sweet almond oil or jojoba oil with water. 

[Ladyjakuma]

@frankydiezel I'm addicted to this song...It's awesome!! My daughter loves it...lol!! I am yet to try sweet almond oil...I use castor oil, jojoba oil, olive oil and grapeseed oil all in one. I also use Hask placenta the protein leave in treatment. i want to try this sweet almond oil...beloved!!

[frankydiezel]

@Ladyjakuma lol. thanks. i also use jojoba oil too. i alternate between jojoba and sweet almond oil, but for the most part i use sweet almond. i'm gonna have to check out the hask placenta. i'm looking for a conditioning treatment to do from time to time.

@mztmack2708 thank u sista! thats my baby right there. lol

[bjoffy]

Wow, I'm 2 months into to my loc journey. I was ready to cut them off due to extremely itchy scalp and dryness but after seeing ur video im gonna stick it out. I'm inspired! Nice locs frank!

[frankydiezel]

@bjoffy i truly appreciate that. why is your scalp itchy? what are you using?

[abbeymore1]

what a lovely head of locs you have on your head....and this vid...SO nicely put together!!!

[frankydiezel]

@abbeymore1 thanks sooo much queen. i've had lots of practice putting these vids together. lol

[abbeymore1]

@frankydiezel hmmm great! ur welcome. wish i could do something better with mine, but oh well! Blessings!

[hatsdontfit]

cool vid, in my opinion your best one yet!! keep em coming, check out my journey too if you get a chance

[mylaylay18]

Congrats on your 2.5 Year Loc Anniversary!! Your locs are very very nice!! I'm looking to when I get some length like that...for now, I'm happy with my short ones since it's SUPER HOT right now lol.

[frankydiezel]

@mylaylay18 thanks sista! yeah, that is one drawback. lol. its extremely hot with all that hair. and to make it worse, for the most part i wear it down so you already know. you hair is far from short though.your locs rock.

[mylaylay18]

@frankydiezel lol...hmmm, maybe they're medium length now? I wear them up so I don't notice the length unless I'm changing styles or washing it. Some of my locs are still short, some are long, and some medium length...so...??? lol. Thanks for the compliment too :-)!!.

[frankydiezel]

@mylaylay18 im the same actually. i don't really notice the length until i wash them, but when they dry, they coil up again,and back to looking blah. lol. i really do love your locs. im glad i subbbed.

[mylaylay18]

@frankydiezel I'm glad you subbed too :-) When I read your comments, they always remind me to enjoy the journey...I hope mine do the same for you...ENJOY THE JOURNEY......keep in touch ;-)

[juando15]

Locs look great man nice and healthy. Stay blessed and locked!

[frankydiezel]

@juando15 thanks brotha. likewise. your locs have got insanely long.

[SDG420]

[frankydiezel]

@SDG420 preciate brotha! yea it been a lot of work

[Jonteakabam]

Nice video, man....excellent retwist...

[frankydiezel]

@Jonteakabam thanks mayne. just sweet almond oil and water.

[guyfughgtuik]

yo those locks gotcha lookin like jesus man. keep up the vids. i was thinkin bout letting mine lock and now i want to for real. So i'm a just be patient and let'em grow. i just can't wait til they get that long though.

[frankydiezel]

@guyfughgtuik lmao. thats the first time i got that one. in my opinion locing is def the way to go, but takes ALOT of dedication. its liberating!

[TheReasonization]

Do you dilute your dr bonners or do you just wet your hair and apply?

[frankydiezel]

@TheReasonization i def dilute it. you really don't need too much of the bronners, but if you use it straight it can actually dry your hair out.

[EdwardFrostJR]

Thanks for the upload! Very informative

[frankydiezel]

@EdwardFrostJR thanks friend!

[Dante121892]

AWESOOME! =]

[frankydiezel]

@Dante121892 preciate it. 

[Thinknappythoughts]

Man oh man, I'm so jealous of your hair...it looks so funky fresh. And thank you for being a man with a manly dog. I'm tired of seeing dudes walk these rinky dink small dogs like it's cool...ok I'm done!

[frankydiezel]

@Thinknappythoughts lmao. yeah, dudes and those damn yorkshires are killing me. nobody from my camp does that. lol. my pup has already grown like crazy since this video, and she's starting to kinda intimidate people even though shes an angel.

[TheReasonization]

Fa sho bro thanks alot subscribe to me just posted my loc journey

[frankydiezel]

@TheReasonization most def bro.

[TheReasonization]

Got a question for you about the sweet almond oil can you use it daily just as a moisturizer or do u have to wash before or just use it after ?

[frankydiezel]

@TheReasonization yeah, you can def do a daily spritz with it. just dilute it in water, you don't need much. its mad light, but works great

[TheReasonization]

Locs on point bro subscribe to me just posted my first loc vid

[soefer]

[tbey82]

Missed you bro!! Your locks have grown so much! I have lock envy right now...

[frankydiezel]

@tbey82 sista, i've missed you guys too. lol. i wasn't able to watch vids in forever. im still catching up now. honestly they don't feel like they've gotten any longer to me. i don't think i'll ever be satisfied with the length. i'll always want more. lol peace

[tbey82]

@frankydiezel I think we all feel that way...5 years from now we'll probably want to trim them lol

[frankydiezel]

@tbey82 you got me over here day dreaming of how long my hair will be in 5 years. lol. ahhhhhhh

[sherrije]

Looks wonderful! I can't wait to get as far as you.

[frankydiezel]

@sherrije thanks!! how long have you been locing your hair? it goes by crazy quick

[hotredsly]

[frankydiezel]

@hotredsly thanks sista! you know i'm still waiting for an update. why'd you take down your vids???

[marktastic0]

look at all that length!!!

[frankydiezel]

@marktastic0 thanks brotha!

[Napisha09]

Franky D, man lovin the locs. Like Bruce Bruce said "they look Good..On..You!"

[frankydiezel]

@Napisha09 Bruce Bruce!! lol. thank you sista! im loving your progress as well

[Napisha09]

@frankydiezel I combed out...cringes...but i'm looking for a loctician rather than a braider for a new set.

[frankydiezel]

@Napisha09 what???? lol. natural hair is gorgeous regardless though. i did like the set you had before, but they're your locs so i feel you. have you found anyone yet?

[ColeeLocks]

I'm loving them Franky!!! Lots of growth, very neat. You know I tagged you way back when?! :o)

[frankydiezel]

@ColeeLocks thanks lady! honestly i did not realize i was tagged. im working on it now. im honored. thanks soooooo much. muah!!

[LovelyJor]

DOPE.

[frankydiezel]

@LovelyJor thanks queen!! i need your editing skills. your ish is just so clean and nice. i love em. lol peace

[AblessedQueen]

the locs are looking GOOD....3 yrs is around the corner.....CONGRATS...

[frankydiezel]

@AblessedQueen thanks sista! its crazy. 3 years??? holy word! lol. i can't believe i've come this far.

[MissMash76]

Great vid as always! All that length! Lookin' great!!!

[frankydiezel]

@MissMash76 thanks. man i don't see the length. i actually stopped paying attention once they passed my sideburns, and i feel the same way i did when my locs were a year old. i only see a difference as far as how mature they are. im stil chasing you. lol. i love your locs, as you know sooooooooooo much. lol. really thou!!

[MissMash76]

@frankydiezel I think that's how it always goes. To me, my hair hasn't grown much at all. But everyone else sees it. BTW, I have watched this vid about 10 times. I love it!!!

[frankydiezel]

@MissMash76 thats true, because i def see your growth.i kinda see my growth when i look at one of my old vids, but i feel the same way that i did when they were that short. i used to say all i want to do is get to pony tail length,and now that im here im like blahh. lol.

[janelporter]

franky--happy 2.5 year locaversary! good to hear from you again. your locs look so good and so much "hang time"! just past my 2.5 mark also and believe it or not, our hair is just about the same length and do i see lots of mad growth?!?  looks good, King...blessings

[frankydiezel]

@janelporter thank you soooo much queen! i don't know if i've ever mentioned this, but i noticed that we've done similiar things to our locs, specifically combined some of the same ones. i also combined the ones in the glasses area on the side. i actually combined quite a few recently. i'll probably talk about that in my next video. honestly i haven't noticed much growth bc i see them everyday, but i have noticed them maturing more in the past few months.

[naturally4us]

I love your locks. Congrats on your 2yrs & 1/2. May God bless you and keep you and give you peace.

[frankydiezel]

@naturally4us i really appreciate that sista. the love is returned. i've been checking your videos out from day one. you've come a long way. peace!!

[ddarby64]

Your locks r gorgeous

[frankydiezel]

@ddarby64 thank you soooooo much. that means a lot

[mackdime]

What's up big homie? Man your locs are off the chain. I got a few questions if you dont mind . 1. Do you have a daily routine with them? 2. How often do you wash / retwist?  I am 13 months into the Dread life and so far i have had ups and downs but it is a great journey Peace

[frankydiezel]

@mackdime what up brotha? thanks man! i dont really have a daily routine anymore, but when i was 13 months in, i use to spritz it daily with water, sweet almond and jojoba oil. i typically wash every 1-2 weeks and i started doing that after i had my locs for a year, bc i found out that they loc quicker when they're clean, plus i love to wash my hair. best part about locs. i wait at least 2 months to retwist, but at 13 months i retwisted once a month.

[frankydiezel]

@mackdime also the farther you get into the journey, you'll apreciate the "ugly" stages bc you'll realize they really weren't that bad. it def is a great journey. keep pushin! peace

[kpleasan]

have some of your tips been burned? They look so neat that's why I asked.

[frankydiezel]

@kpleasan nah i haven't. i noticed they have that look to them too. they're actually extremely curly there,and i can pull them and it looks like a spring. thats why i think they have that sort of look to them.

[msgatlin357]

gorgeous..... That is all

[frankydiezel]

@msgatlin357 you truly are. lol. thanks lady!

[DaviGotSole]

nice man honestly you have the best set of locs i have every seen

[msfullroller]

@frankydiezel Born and raised in Chicago by parents who are from Alabama where I live now. I've been here almost 17 years now. So yep, that southern drawl has crept in. lol

[frankydiezel]

@msfullroller lol. i see. i've lived in nc off and on for the past 10 years, and i'm def getting a nc drawl as well. its all good, bc there's nothing like the south. lol

[elliptic2012]

hey you-- your locs are lighter! color? do tell... ;-)

[frankydiezel]

@elliptic2012 greetings friend! lol. no not at all. i don't know what it is. i've heard it could be dead hair, bc of the pool, or maybe even the acv rinses. my brothers are the same, but his are more brown, but even when his hair was short it was that color. before locs or even recently my hair has been jet black. i'd be really interested to know the reason why they're changing. hmmmmm. lol

[mpenny226]

[jsix4evr]

Hi Frankie! So glad to see you! Your locs are doing so well. Healthy n shiny. Wow!

Growing like crazy. Thank you for the update. Don't stay away so long next time. =)

[frankydiezel]

@jsix4evr greetings jernigan. thanks ooo much. im going to attempt to update more, but school is so wack. lol. i feel like im never going to be done, and im always there. i see a lot of maturity in my locs, but not much growth. i may need to look at an older video.

[jsix4evr]

@frankydiezel Frankie, what does your loctician use to retwist your locs?

[frankydiezel]

@jsix4evr what up sis? my loctician uses just water mixed with sweet almond oil. im simple. lol. been doing that for the past 2 years faithfully

[jsix4evr]

@frankydiezel I absolutely love the maturity of your locs. I will be happy when mine do the same. I still use sweeet almond oil in my spritz. The scent is so nice and I use it so regularly its like part of my own chemical make up now. Take care Brotha. You're lookin real good. =)

[benjaminscameron]

your locs look great! did you color them?

[frankydiezel]

@benjaminscameron preciate it brotha. nah, no coloring. im not sure why they've changed like that.

[benjaminscameron]

@frankydiezel cool...they're sun kissed brown like the people in africa...keep up the great work!
