CHESCA!!! Me and my 10 yr old daughter both have locs and we LOVE your vids! Doing the loc knots was "easy peasy!" much to my surprise (had been wondering for a while how to do them) plus you are so watchable! One question: you say you use no product on your hair. How do you keep your locs looking so healthy??? I use only olive oil and sometimes a little Vit E oil on mine—but I am intrigued how you care for yours. Love n' THANX from Barbados! Lx
I'm really considering getting dreads and I just wanted to know a few things about yours. How long have you had them and what was the locking process like? Did you go to a salon and do them or did you do them yourself?
I just put these knots in my shoulder-length knots today, after watching your video. Fingers crossed!! One follow-up question before I take them down in a few days: How do you sleep on these to prevent crushing and ruining the curls? I'm notorious for putting my locs in bantu knots and then ripping them out in the middle of the night after a few hours of uncomfortable half sleeping. Do you recoil them before bed?
@Dreaminstar64 yes, locs can be combed out, but it's a very time intensive process and you end up losing a lot of hair. do a search for "combing out locs" on YT. there are a few videos about it.
huh? how did i miss this tutorial??? definitely gonna try these out in my mommy's hair and then mine after i wash out these curls. thanks for the video hun!
My natural curl is SO loose, (almost non-existent - mostlty wave w/frizz) I don't know how well my hair would even loc at all. But, girl, you're such an inspiration I want to BC and try to get it to loc so I can try all these gorgeous styles!!!!
@americangirl3051 haa! i actually hate the image they used for the ad, but hopefully it's making people check it out to figure out why my hair looked like that lol
@afroq1 no, they're not really like bantu knots because you wrap your hair around the locs the same way you'd wrap a roller. bantu knots are wrapped like a little pyramid, which results in a wavy pattern, the knots actually give you a defined spiral curl, like a roller. hope that answers!
just wanted to let you know i tried this style and loved it--and u were right much better to sleep in than those pipecleaners--thanks again for sharing :) acually still rocking them going to try to keep them in for a week :) pics to come soon!!
Thanx sis for another excellent hair-how-to. I got great results from following your pipe cleaner tutorial. Some times a piece of wire would stick me. lol... but I'm def going to do this one. I will let you know how it comes out.
OMG! This was awesome !I def need to try this ASAP because I love the "pipe cleaner" look but I can't stand doing my hair. I think I can twist it tight and fast enough! THanks girl!
@DoeJane1234567 your hair needs to be completely dry in order for the curls to hold. you could easily wear the knots to school tomorrow but if you want curls, your hair needs to be dry before you unravel the knots. your best bet would be to use a blow dryer or heating cap to speed up the drying process.
I actually wear my hair like this all the time especially in the summer because I dont have to sit under a dryer. My curls can last about a month from this style.
I wish I had tutorials like this when I had locs, you make me realize I didn't fully get to enjoy my loc experience. Thank goodness for youtube, loc'd ladies are lucky, everyone with locs should see this :O)
Thanks for posting the video; I've tried it and it's great for shorter locs also. I did a flat twist in the front and loc knots in the back. I seen your fb page also. Thanks, thanks, thanks.
I think that you should just use one lock and not two...to make it look more full and not so knotty...I could pass for a smaller knot in the corporate world
@goddessmarindy i'm pretty sure one loc would make it appear less full...personally, i like how they came out, but you're welcome to try it with one loc if you think that will suit you. my goal is to inspire you guys to try something new and adapt these looks to work on your hair. side note, i work in the corporate office of a major national clothing brand and wore my hair to work like this last week and got lots of compliments.
@chescalocs Ok so I tested it out last night and I posted some pics so you could see...it's on your facebook page because i can't figure tis youtube thing out...ugggggh...but everyone thinks I cut my hair today..lol...Imust say I had a gooooood sleep "nothing like the pipe cleaners"...the question and test is I wonder how long I can keep these in ;0? I love you lots thanks for the inspiration to try something new
OK, I found the pic. This style came from Bohemian Soul in NY. I tried to insert the link, but, it won't work. Anyway, just google Bohemian Soul and click on hairstyles. Beautiful!
This reminds me of the PC curls. I was thinking about doing them, but, since I've seen this video, I think I'll try this method. I also saw a pic of this style a few months ago done as a high ponytail. I'll see if I can find it so that I can share the link. Thank you for showing us another great style!
So glad you brought this style back into my line of vision... I remember watching msned12's vid back in the day but my locs were too short at the time but now I may be able to try this :) Yay!!
@biggrapp313 no, it wasn't a job interview. it was a live interview for her radio show. i'm surprised how many of you guys don't follow my blog, FB or Twitter because I posted about the interview there when I found out about it last week....the interview will be online on Monday and I'll be sharing it then.
I love this no wire poking curl option. I can't wait to see your curl let down. Is it possible to do your new loc care routine when you find time? I've been using black soap to shampoo monthly tnen co wash with 1/4 moisture and protein conditioner to 3/4 water , retwist only the front with water and leave the rest alone! Lol!
@pooja6116 uh oh.....i'm guessing you're not on my FB, blog or Twitter bc I posted a photo of the curls today! posting video of curls next week. trying to get back on my regular weekly video schedule. yes, this wire free option is waaaay more comfortable. i'm also going to do a routine video as well. too many videos not enough time! lol thanks for sharing your method!
OK, my head is spinning with all these new hair acronyms. What is ORS? I keep Urban Dictionary open in a new tab these days when I read or watch an updated hair blog/vlog, but they're sometimes a bit behind. Hey Chesca, maybe you can add an occasional FYI to your vids on the newest hair acronyms? I live in a land far far away, so don't really have natural hair conversations within my social groups.
@rmneilson ORS - organic root stimulator. it's the brand of conditioner i use. sorry, i abbreviate everything. it's a side effect of growing up online lol
Love this Chesca! I bet those curls are going to be awesome!!!
You are blowing up and I am so happy for you! When I come back in NYC in December you are going to be so big you're not going to have time to be bothered with me lil' ole me lol. Keep it up, hun!
omg i have 2 month old braids that may look really cute with this style (im in loc' limbo -- trying to see how long I can go before I decide to take these down orloc em). I will have to try this out and do a vid response - i just rodded my braids with perm rods, but I love this option without laying on these hard rollers! thanks chesca - and that was a cool intro with Gayle! Are you going to be on her radio or talk show ?
@monilovelocs well, i still like pipe cleaners, but this is waaay more comfortable. but the curls are a little different. they aren't all the way to the root of your hair. they're more like a tight curl on the ends. but still really pretty.
When and where does your interview with Gayle air? Congrats, btw! Also, I saw another viewer ask...and I want to know too...how do you moisturize and what products (if any) do you use. Thanks!
@SavvyPearl it aired live on Friday morning and was only on her radio program. but it'll be online on Monday and I'll be sure to share it one it's up. if you join my FB page you can keep up to date with all this info :) I just started using Mizani's oil moisturizer and I really like it!
I love watching these videos even though I don't have locs! I just love to see your creations, your hair is seriously so freakin' gorgeous. :) And in this video I realized just how long it's gotten since I first started watching your videos! Holy crap!
@Telisaking i'm looking into other options right now and will hopefully start using models soon. as much as i liked having mark and naomi, i realized it wasn't the best thing for my channel. i really need to be able to oversee the video quality and how they are shot and edited. with 2 other people making their own videos on their own time i can't do that. just trying to make a more consistent "brand". but they still make videos on their own channels, they're both linked on my page
Hey,Lady! See, this is slightly different from how I do mine. You've seen my pics on my FB page. I've been meaning to do a tutorial, but 4 CHILDREN AND ONE ON THE WAY gets in the way sometimes! LOL!
@luvlilocs34 i can only imagine! it's hard enough for me to make regular videos with 2 dogs, a man and a job. lol how are yours different? do you just wrap one loc instead? i'm thinking of trying it that way next time
@klkc1991 you have no idea how happy this makes me. i wouldn't be anywhere without you guys cheering me on and supporting me. and i really mean that. thank you so so very much!
@msblackrose79 just undo the rubber band (if you use one) or push your locs back through the end and unwrap your hair. it's just like taking your hair out of a curler. you're just unrwapping the loc from around your hair. it's really easy.
I don't have locs but I love watching your loc-related vids. There was a time when I was ignorant and misinformed about locs but since I began my own natural hair journey (2 yrs ago), I have come to appreciate *all* forms of natural hair! I love my loose hair, but it's awesome to know that locs are such a beautiful option!
WHAT! WAIT! No product!!!!! I totally did not realize you were not using any products on your hair. How do you moisturize and what kind of shampoo are you using now? Great tutorial. I might try this.
@Emerald1269 nope! i stopped using product to twist my hair over a year ago. i think it just makes my hair cleaner and prevents crunchiness and buildup. i've been using olive oil moisturizer from organic root stimulator and i only co-wash using ORS as well. don't use shampoo! i need to do a video on this....
@chescalocs Yes, please. Video on the no product twist and co-wash!! I am intrigued. :) I am trying this style tonight. My locs are shorter so it may just end up as bantu knots! So, excited. You've inspired me to play in my hair! YAY!
was that an engagement ring?

I wish I could do this, but my locs are of varying thickness. Some would work, some wouldn't. I'll just stick to my usual loc curlers.

i guess this beats the pipe cleaners
monilovelocs 4 months ago
@monilovelocs well, i still like pipe cleaners, but this is waaay more comfortable. but the curls are a little different. they aren't all the way to the root of your hair. they're more like a tight curl on the ends. but still really pretty.

When and where does your interview with Gayle air? Congrats, btw! Also, I saw another viewer ask...and I want to know too...how do you moisturize and what products (if any) do you use. Thanks!

@SavvyPearl it aired live on Friday morning and was only on her radio program. but it'll be online on Monday and I'll be sure to share it one it's up. if you join my FB page you can keep up to date with all this info :) I just started using Mizani's oil moisturizer and I really like it!

I love watching these videos even though I don't have locs! I just love to see your creations, your hair is seriously so freakin' gorgeous. :) And in this video I realized just how long it's gotten since I first started watching your videos! Holy crap!

Do you still have the other people on your channel for those of us with shorter locs?
Telisaking 4 months ago
@Telisaking i'm looking into other options right now and will hopefully start using models soon. as much as i liked having mark and naomi, i realized it wasn't the best thing for my channel. i really need to be able to oversee the video quality and how they are shot and edited. with 2 other people making their own videos on their own time i can't do that. just trying to make a more consistent "brand". but they still make videos on their own channels, they're both linked on my page

Hey,Lady! See, this is slightly different from how I do mine. You've seen my pics on my FB page. I've been meaning to do a tutorial, but 4 CHILDREN AND ONE ON THE WAY gets in the way sometimes! LOL!

@luvlilocs34 i can only imagine! it's hard enough for me to make regular videos with 2 dogs, a man and a job. lol how are yours different? do you just wrap one loc instead? i'm thinking of trying it that way next time
chescaleigh 4 months ago
@chescaleigh Oh, I forgot about our doggie, too! LOL! I do each individual loc and twist it it on itself.

i like!!! but how do you take them out???
msblackrose79 4 months ago
@msblackrose79 just undo the rubber band (if you use one) or push your locs back through the end and unwrap your hair. it's just like taking your hair out of a curler. you're just unrwapping the loc from around your hair. it's really easy.
chescalocs 4 months ago
I don't have locs but I love watching your loc-related vids. There was a time when I was ignorant and misinformed about locs but since I began my own natural hair journey (2 yrs ago), I have come to appreciate *all* forms of natural hair! I love my loose hair, but it's awesome to know that locs are such a beautiful option!

WHAT! WAIT! No product!!!!! I totally did not realize you were not using any products on your hair. How do you moisturize and what kind of shampoo are you using now? Great tutorial. I might try this.
Emerald1269 4 months ago
@Emerald1269 nope! i stopped using product to twist my hair over a year ago. i think it just makes my hair cleaner and prevents crunchiness and buildup. i've been using olive oil moisturizer from organic root stimulator and i only co-wash using ORS as well. don't use shampoo! i need to do a video on this....
chescalocs 4 months ago 3
@chescalocs Yes, please. Video on the no product twist and co-wash!! I am intrigued. :) I am trying this style tonight. My locs are shorter so it may just end up as bantu knots! So, excited. You've inspired me to play in my hair! YAY!
