Oh yeah! Just signed up to do deliveries on valentine's day. I'm going to take my daughter with me and split the cash with her. Yo, I'm getting excited with "being on the grind", like working little oddball jobs and still making out good financially. The corporate environment was steady, like I could plan down to the dollar and forecast scenarios, and now I don't even know how much money is coming in but I know how much I need. I do think way too much about how to make more money but in a way that doesn't interrupt my schedule. I like being able to drop my daughter off and pick her up from school.

I follow him on YouTube. His work isn't as great as he'd like to think. This young lady has better locs than I've ever seen on one of his clients. Her repair is better. No weave required.


I never knew that yall re-attach hair. I mean it makes sense. But I always thought you could eventually get your hair straightened. I believe I saw a woman with locs before have her hair a certain length and went to a salon and came out with it straight. I wonder if that was real.

Combing out locs can be done but takes forever and comes with breakage.

Ummm were they real locs or the fake kind? You can get fake locs with real hair to make them look natural but likely she had the fake joints.

You can take out locs but it will take you a LONG time. Probably a month if you work on it every day but you will lose a lot of hair in the process.

After a certain length you might get some breakage b/c of friction. The girl in the video has locs past her butt so they probably get caught in things. But if your hair is breaking at shorter lengths you probably need to take better care of your hair.

I have yet to break a loc though. I am going on 2 years and my hair is past my arm pit. I don't see any signs of weakening but if I ever break one yep I'll braid that bad boy right back on.

They were real. She had them for years. It was long too.
