[Music]
so man was good man thank y'all for
tuning again man y'all know what it is
going to like and subscribe button right
now and man make sure you turn your
notifications on man so you can continue
to know when I drop a new video but yeah
this video right here is to address man
all the newbies man that are trying to
come into the LOC game and they want to
know when is the best time to start
their locks cuz a lot of times you know
we get into this that point where our
hair is a certain length man is like
should I start now or should I wait
until they get a little longer because
when you're looking online and there's
people who start their locks in their
hair at different stages some people are
short some people are long and you're
like how long should my hair be before I
even get them twisted and I can only
tell y'all where I started on and it
worked for me it may not work for you
because your texture hair may cause you
to have to wait a little longer or maybe
you can do it even shorter but I started
my locs
when my hair was just long enough to get
cornrows like I was just able I member I
went and got braids like a week before I
got my hair twisted like I had them for
a week I went I was getting ready it was
right before I went on vacation and I
got my hair I got my hair braided and
then I rocked it for like a week cuz I
got you know I really got tired of them
how to take them out wouldn't like a
week or something they were irritating
me so I took those down and then I got
my hair twisted and I remember I went
out of town and I got them twisted
originally and I messed them up because
I got into the water and stuff cuz I
wound up you know have fun with my
family so I got into the water and they
messed up so did my wife in the restart
my locs when we got back and from there
on like I was very cautious about
messing them up and that's when I
started my actual journey that's when I
actually recorded recorded my first
video if y'all go back and look at my
first video man you know mom from one
man
remember remember that whole experience
the whole start from the locks man like
looking back man like at the video like
it's different than what it is now man
like you can really tell if you go back
and look at my videos how much I've
grown during the time when I first
started my my videos and doing my
journey like it was there in a time
where I kind of like lost myself and I
kind of was in a state where I wasn't
fully being me you know I wasn't being
energetic I was kind of in a place where
I was ready for a change and I had made
that change and I was looking for
something to help me to be me again I
just didn't feel like myself you can
even tell on the videos like I'm real
like super super chill like you know I'm
chill period you know that's just me I'm
laid-back but it was like I was like
crazy chill you know in the videos and
you know almost like God there was no
energy in it you know I was talking but
it was just oh no just go back and look
at the video I can't even explain it but
it just it was a different vibe and I
but I remember - I was working like
crazy and I did like I kept seeing other
people's videos and I was like man these
videos are good at all but everybody
using their cell phones and you know I
have the ability I know how to really
shoot and get quality you know and I was
just like man I gotta I gotta really
start making videos like real YouTube
videos not like I'm gonna give y'all
quick update and show y'all some news
type thing man but it was like I'm gonna
give y'all some quality that y'all can
see something dope wit but you know that
start man I doubt that was the best time
for me to start man I'm sorry I got way
off topic but that was the best time for
me to start back then because it was a
it was a time that I needed a change and
it was a time that you know I needed to
get growth into growing to me into Who I
am
and dreadlocks will do that for you man
so if you if you're thinking about
getting dreadlocks and you're wondering
like when is the best time for you to
get LOX
the best time is when you're in a when
your hair is long enough you know I
would suggest going through your like
Titian and saying hey
you know what is the best best length
for me to get locks in Doug they should
be able to give you a good lean look at
your hair and say hey I would weigh
probably another month or I wait another
two weeks or something they'll give you
a little hint to say alright this is
when you should start them and then just
on a personal level man if you're
looking for a changed man you're looking
for something to grow you grow you and
something that you can you know learn
how to have patience you know grow
spiritually just learn how to create a
consistent below of you know how you do
your routine with your hair or just a
routine period to just do something
consistent and dedicate yourself to and
when you're ready for that that's that's
when it's time man because that's what
dreadlocks are gonna do man it's gonna
help you
dreadlocks do well man I don't think
that dreadlocks are just hair eyes and
just uh you know they just locks on
anybody who thinks dreadlocks are just
locks man I don't get it wrong because I
got dreadlocks and literally dreadlocks
changed my life like real talk like
dreadlocks changed my complete life I
started making YouTube videos and got
deeper into making YouTube videos and
the job that I have now one of the
things that attracted him to me was my
dreadlock videos that I was on there
making dreadlock videos and giving that
type of quality so dreadlocks changed my
life man like making these YouTube
videos and really talk to y'all about
locks and stuff like that man that's
what it did so if you you want to get
dreadlocks man really think about it you
make sure you're linked like I said my
length was like just long enough to get
cornrows surprised guess you can say
like almost you know three inches long
you know from afro
just a little fro man that's what I
started with you know so yeah you know
get some locks man if you you got your
hair Brady right now you can go and get
a twist man I'll be for sure you can do
that you've got your hair braids and
more than likely you can go get your
hair twisted and you know it may not
last that long and depending on texture
your hair but you know when I first
started you know I was getting my hair
we twist it every two weeks you know I
was going every two weeks I would read
twist my hair and the better you know
the my wife did it the first time then
after that I was reach twisting my hair
all the way up and so like a year and
then my wife started twisting
I went to a few locked issues to get
them done you know just because I wanted
like a style and stuff but all the other
times man I did it myself the whole time
man I was getting the mirror man got
some clips and was got my gel twisted
that mode wash my hair twisted up and I
was that blow-dried it and we was good
to go but yeah man I just want to make a
video just to give that answer that
question man cuz that was one of the
things that I get asked that all the
time when should I start my locs how
long does my hair have to be it just has
to be long enough that they can twist it
into something if it's very short and
they can't barely twist it like you
don't want no little pin little pebbles
man you want an actual twist and then at
least twist man well yeah y'all know
what it is man stay blessed stay locked
