  • Hello, your work looks fantastic!! I started my locks a little less then medium and it turned out great with no issues during the first year. Its been 2 years since and now the back of my head was getting very thin at the roots and decided to combine all the thin-rooted locks,which made up a majority of the back of my head lol). This method left alot of double-headed locks. Bigger locks and parts in the back,smaller locks in the front and sides. Should I start over? Or can this be fixed? or...

  • you're right. Easy, yet elegant!

  • Those were very beautiful hair styles.

  • how much locs do u have?

  • Welcome back I missed you!!! Yay!!!! I was tired of watching those same videos!!!

  • welcome back

  • glad you are back, cute style, is that a tat behind your ear?

  • Thank you! Yes it is.

  • Shawnta, Shawnta......YAY! So glad you're back. Happy New Year.

  • You look great! I am glad to see you back! Can't wait to see you do more makeup tutorials for us!

  • beautiful girl

  • Hey girl....You are such an inspiration to us natural hair folk...WOW I said folk..anyway hope you had a good new year and I'm glad your back I'm looking foward to your great vids. I watch all the others like 1000 times....LOL

  • Yah!! I'm so glad your back. I had to shorten my locs because of the weight on my neck, but it's still long enough to do the knots. Keep doing what you do.

  • That's so funny; I have the same ringtone so when your phone rang I'm looking at mine like "what is going on?" Glad your back, I was thinking I was just a bad luck subscriber because as soon as I subscribe to people they seem to stop making vids. Too cute hairstyle.
