[archuletarox321]

GIRL I MUST KNOW where is that hair pin from????????

[chescaleigh]

@archuletarox321 It's a necklace, not a pin! So cool, right? It's from a cheap jewelry store in the city.if you google "bendable metal necklace" you can find it online at a bunch of retailers

[archuletarox321]

@chescaleigh my hero, im on a huntdown for that now, thanks :D

[mizzpicklezz]

@archuletarox321 u can also use a cuff...

[keylenjoseph]

[Datpmp505]

[rianward]

LOVEE love love this! Must try thank you so much for these vids :)

[3Lilylove]

thanks!!!

[ilovemyrolltideroll]

can you make a "how to dye your dreads" video and talk about the products you use and etc.?

[chescaleigh]

@ilovemyrolltideroll there's one in my favorites :)

[3Lilylove]

I have a request. Can you do a lock tutorial on a curly bob. Ive been trying to figure out how to do it, but maybe you can. The picture where i got my inspiration from a picture of rhianna, the singer's, curly bob. I think that it might work if you do pipe cleaner curls and then pull out the ones in the front and maybe pin the ones in the back in place. idk. can you help me?

[chescaleigh]

@3Lilylove if you watch my pipcleaner results video that's basically a bob. i just did pipcleaner curls and then separated them. but my hair is too long for that now, but you could probably get that result by pinning. try it! 

[3Lilylove]

@chescaleigh thanks!!

[kiannavinson]

ur very intelectual

[cmechance88]

u inspire me. thats it. in a bombshell, i mean nutshell =)

[LeCancionista]

i think i'll do this for my wedding, if my hair's long enough by then. Thanks alot, Franchesca!

[anonymous10001000]

hey chesca, i have Q

do locs ever get boring?? i know i want them later when im in my 20s (im a high school freshman right now) and i also want them now, but im afraid im going to get tired of them before i reach that period of my life........

[chescalocs]

@anonymous10001000 well considering i've had locs for 7 years and have been making hairstyle tutorial videos for 5 years, i haven't found that locs have become boring. but everyone is different. what interests me doesn't interest everyone and the styles that i enjoy aren't ones that everyone likes or enjoys. so there's no way for me to tell you if you'll get bored with locs or not. you're the only person that can answer that for yourself

[anonymous10001000]

@chescalocs here is a better way to put it......is there a popular cutoff amount of time that people have them??

[chescalocs]

@anonymous10001000 this question is impossible to answer because there's no way to survey everyone with locs and find out when/if they cut them. some people keep their locs for 2-3 years and decide they aren't for them. some people have locs for 10 years and trim them over time in order to deal with the length. some people cut off their locs and decide to get them again. there is no popular approach because every single person's experience is different.

[tiffanybaybay]

@anonymous10001000 I know you didn't ask me but I wanted to weigh in anyways... I am 29 and I started mine at 26 cuz i felt the same way. Now I so wish that I could go back and get them when I was younger. It takes many years to get long beautiful locks, so starting younger is better. You can cut them into styles, I had a very short do for a while (halle berry styled - kinda) or you can grow them down your back. You can dye them every single color in the book and not worry...

[tiffanybaybay]

@anonymous10001000 but the best part which is awesome in college is being able to wash and go without a worry and look good. workout without a care, walk in the rain without stressing, or even just not retighten your hair today cuz you don't feel like it and look fine. Plus there is no freedom like NOT having to go to a salon and waste an entire day! Guys love running their hands in your hair... it's just a free-er lifestyle. I hope you consider dreads, and if you do

[tiffanybaybay]

@anonymous10001000 .... I don't think you will ever want to take them out. But as a WONDERFUL aside. My sister has thick dreads down her back and I am proud to say I am in the process of taking them down and reinstalling a new set. I have another friend who took hers out and just pressed hers. I never saw a thicker head of long straight hair. It takes a long time, but you don't have to shave dreds to remove them so they aren't permanent.

[anonymous10001000]

@tiffanybaybay ok thank u!

[hammynikki]

i think on white people locks are disgusting!

[chescalocs]

@hammynikki i think your close mindedness is disgusting

[chescalocs]

@hammynikki notice my reply pertained to my thoughts. i'll do you a favor and keep you from replying and embarrassing yourself any further. you're welcome!

[PhallicHeadSpike]

You look like an ape.

[anonymous10001000]

@PhallicHeadSpike no she doesnt.........

[chescalocs]

@anonymous10001000 thank you :)

[chamogul]

DIVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..­... and the GRAMMY FOR LOCS GOES TO (Everybody stand up on ya' feet and show your luv forrrrrrrrrr) Chescalocs! Sista, ok now... you've done it -----------------> A G A I N ... Just Fly... fly fly fly fly.., did I say FLY! LOL... Thanks again for another smoking HAUTE tutorial... You are appreciated!!!

[chescalocs]

@chamogul aw you're adorable. thanks so much for your kind words. glad you enjoyed it! 

[Tikka40]

wow, this was such a gorgeous look! I'm so glad youtube featured your video, otherwise I would have missed it <3

[chescalocs]

@Tikka40 thanks! i'm glad youtube featured me too!

[kasiakaczanowska1]

I would think when someone makes your skin crawl, you're entitled to your honest reply. But to continue to butcher the English language by not beginning sentences with capital letters and using a word you completely made up (argh?) is totally off base.

[chescalocs]

@kasiakaczanowska1 touché. personally i like using automatopia when i type because that's how i talk. i wasn't offended by @Chacha5678's comment. he/she is entitled to their own opinion. the same way i'm entitled to get annoyed by the misuse of your and you're. not saying i'm perfect, it's just a personal pet peeve. therefore my comment was my most honest reply. thanks for sharing your opinion as well!!

[joshsutt]

@kasiakaczanowska1 I love meeting fellow Grammar Nazi's. My punctuation at times leaves alot to be desired ... but hey! At least it is better than "tYpIn lYk DiHs 2 gEt AteNtIoN" it hurts my head. lol

[chescalocs]

@joshsutt i have no idea how people stand typing like that. i think there's a program that they use for that type of thing.

[swkstudent]

@stealthknifekiller you racist are so predictable.

[chescalocs]

@swkstudent i know right? nothing surprises or offends me anymore

[Chacha5678]

your pretty but i dont like the hairdo

[chescalocs]

@Chacha5678 when people use "your" incorrectly it makes my skin crawl. argh. but thanks for the compliment anyway.

[kasiakaczanowska1]

@chescalocs Was it White Queen or White Witch? I do belive that this person's native tongue is not english....

[chescalocs]

@kasiakaczanowska1 i think her title is pretty interchangeable. i've seen her credited as both online, but i haven't seen the movie and it's been ages since i read the books. kudos to you for catching the error, no one else did.

[spartanIIIvenomXVIIv]

what a pacience.

[chescalocs]

@spartanIIIvenomXVIIv naw, not really. as you can see this style only took a few minutes

[schokocupcakeful]

wow that is awsome very good

[SwikaDub]

BADASS

[chescalocs]

@stealthknifekiller ouch! looks like someone is jealous! sorry your video...oh wait. you don't have any videos. just like every other racist hater on youtube. it's easy to spread hatred and ignorant garbage on the internet and not be man enough to show your face and open yourself up to criticism. best of luck to you.

[beatstopper]

great interpretation, it looks almost better on you!

[Yhanister]

OMg ur skin looks flawless!!!!

[ilovemyrolltideroll]

do you ever wash your hair with apple vinegar?

[xtina8810]

I absolutely LOVE this hair style. Chesca always finds new ways to dress up lox very well! I am def. using this to go out to dinner!

[KaydaAmaya]

I don't have dreads or locs. but how you came up with the a solution for it is amazing. you are totally talented for the dread community.. haha. if that makes sense

[brandilyon]

i don't have locs but i am SO going to do this anyway! so pretty!

[chescalocs]

@brandilyon now that is what i LOVE to hear!!!

[Bellcart]

@chescalocs is that your real hair? wow

[chescalocs]

@Bellcart it absolutely is!

[edd9116ey]

[chescalocs]

@edd9116ey thank you!

[NaturalBeauty321]

I just can't get enough of this style! It's sooo cute!

[mylaylay18]

[liquidsatin2010]

Very good interpretation of that style. Love it.

[ashiegirl16]

[cbluver2316]

Love, love, love your locs.... I am in the process of combing my locs out. Its been a little over 11 years and im ready for a change. I will still watch your stying videos though.

[Keeeenaa15]

Very Cute! Nice job you always do good hair how-tos

[marktastic0]

fab as always!

[momobyon]

OMG!!!!! This is way too gorgeous!! :D

[JRenneaC]

I really like this!!

[xkxoxo14]

Gorgeous.

[SimpliciTEE411]

Love it! LOL at the growl! :)

[anewwoman08]

I love you Chescalocs! You're awesome!

[Kieshaleigh]

I'm curious as to how locs work on Caucasian people. Isn't that slightly unhygienic for them as they have to wash their hair more than we do?

[chescalocs]

@Kieshaleigh if your hair is backcombed (which is how caucasian locs are usually formed) washing your hair won't loosen the knots. some people incorrectly choose to not wash their hair, thinking it will help the locing process, but from my understanding, you can wash caucasian locs the same way you wash locs on african american hair. unfortunately a few people have perpetuated the stereotype that locs on white people are dirty and smelly. not completely true.

[queenrella77]

I love all your creations and recreations of styles...you are truly a trendsetter!

[CherishMyDaughter]

LOL on the snap to fully made up! I really enjoy your tutorials!

[betje87]

lolz @ da growling xD Love the thing in your hair! Looks so awesome! :)

[ShareeWord]

Beautiful style! Thanks for sharing.

[npfalcon30]

please please please do a mens hair how to :-)

[chescaleigh]

@npfalcon30 working on that with my new contributor! 

[caoimhin92]

ughh your hair is so beautiful!I love your videos!!

[qochemist]

This is gorgeous!! What a great viewer request...you did a wonderful job. I hope that she will show you pictures. She has beautiful locs. The accessory really works well with this.

[tellybee3]

that is nice and quick!! any styles for short hair? and you look very beautiful!

[chescalocs]

@tellybee3 my new contributor is working on short styles right now!

[hope0hurts]

omg magic snap make-up O.O

[ToiBoiable]

So pretty. I can't wait until my locs are your length!

[BeautywithinSherry]

You are very creative!

[ilmememe]

u r a nutt!!! Love it! This looks very pretty on you. SN: I tried the half nautilus and the hair bow....they both came out pretty well. My only critque is that my locs aren't as long as yours so the ties on my bow werent as big and full looking as yours and my nautilus wasn't as full either. I shall try them again when my hair grows even more..... I'm only at 3.5 years. All in all I loved them though! Keep these coming....

[chescalocs]

@ilmememe glad that you took a risk and tried the styles despite not having the same length. working on more styles for shorter locs with my new contributor. they're coming soon!

[dramenbejsowo]

THIS IS BARBARA: Thank you Franchesca! I don't know what I would to do without you! thank you veary much! U are awesome

[GodivaBeauty]

@dramenbejsowo I would love to see your finished wedding style!!! Congratulations marriage is a beautiful thing!!!

[chescalocs]

@dramenbejsowo you're most welcome!! thank you so much for asking for my help. i'm glad i could figure it out and offer some assistance. best of luck and congrats on your upcoming nuptials!

[bellenoire75]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!! LOVE IT!!! :D

[siennasista]

Very pretty!

[TheSupasweet]

Where did you get the gold "thingy"? It looked like it was custom-made to wear with this hairstyle (which is really cool). Thanks for posting, both the style and you looked gorgeous and it took you just seconds to do it.

[chescalocs]

@TheSupasweet it's actually a necklace! it's bendable so you can twist it into a variety of styles. i just recently started wearing it my hair just to change things up. if you go on my facebook fan page, a few weeks ago i posted a link to where you can purchase the necklace online. there's also a link on my blog :)

[nae0420nae]

Me likey!!

[GooGoo32]

Barbara!! Post pics please! :-)

[dramenbejsowo]

@GooGoo32 I will! but it will be better pic like this one in pyjamas ;)

[syamsyam1234]

Love it! Great job- There's something very classic about the look (yet with a modern edge)!

[chescalocs]

@syamsyam1234 agreed! it has almost a grecian feel

[MissLaurenB18]

Very unique Franchesca!

[ebonydivine1]

Lovely

[Tonisoulful]

Very pretty, she has to do this style for her wedding!!!!!!!

[chescalocs]

@Tonisoulful she just emailed me to say that her wedding is on the 19th and she'll be using this style! i'll ask her to post pics on my facebook fanpage

[sterlingking]

LOVE IT!! Even the piece u added goes very well with it!!

[meroekhalia]

LMAO!!!! This is a beautiful style but all I can think about is the growling hahaha! I love it!

[chescalocs]

@meroekhalia RAR!

[thefilmistbee522]

SOOO LOVELY! THANKS FOR SHARING CHESCA

[LovelyJor]

i saw this when you posted it on tumblr. loooooooooooooove. i don't know if my hair is long enough. i'll have to try and see.

[chescalocs]

@LovelyJor there's no harm in trying! and you can always adapt this look to fit your length. maybe instead of a side ponytail, just leave your hair loose in the back? have you seen my nautilus hairstyle videos? there are 2 versions and version 2 works really well on medium length hair.

[KristinaArtSeeTV]

i dont even have locks but i love watching these... maybe one day when i have kids i will give them locks.
