Hey is it bad I started my two strand starters with a braid base and not a coil one ?

[@BockyBockyBoo]

can you do mine

It’s never to late. I combed out 8 years of locs. Took a week but it works 💨

[@mysticpaths7751]

Wow should of took a video

[@LaneJane23]

You give me hope. I am about 10 months in but I am not satisfied. My loctition was not good and I didn't know what to ask for. I want to start over.

[@TRUEROOTS2022]

@@LaneJane23 unless you started with a fro or long hair, 10 months is never going to satisfy, even if you were happy with your initial twist. Give your length some patience. Since you’re under a year, if your parts are no good then you could consult someone to re part them. But if it’s just the visual that’s bothering you then please don’t quite yet! Look at some videos about care and styling and try to adjust them as you’d like. No matter what just keep in mind one thing- once you cut them it’s absolute. Many days they will look or feel uncomfortable, but it’s an endless journey of improvement as you see fit. If you don’t give yourself the time to grow then you’ll never get them to where you want them to be. Just take it a day at a time and don’t judge or be too hard on yourself. Everyone’s natural locs that you’ve ever seen- the longest and most goodlooking- started where you’re at now ! Just think of how much has changed from 5 months ago. And how much another 5 or 10 months will change them. End of they day you should be happy wi th and proud of your hair so do whatever will accomplish that 💪🏽💨🤎🪶

You know as clients we trust our beauticians with our hair full heartedly. I just had to give a shout-out to this black stylist. As she said in the beginning (2:47), she was not satisfied. That is when you know you have a GREAT hairstylist. No matter how long the time passed by, she waited until she felt that she knew enough to restyle his dreads. So, I appreciate you and all your efforts! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

I have a great recommendation for conditioner if you're interested. It's a little pricey, but Kinky Kurly's Knot Today is absolutely the best I've ever used for when I was wearing a fro. It's extremely slippery and would have maybe made this waaaay easier.

Many cut them off because it’s a big ass headache to comb out locs and very expensive to get it done if you get someone to do so.

[@CaliGramz]

@@1deep803 a whopping $400 for a 10 hour process. And that was to save majority of my hair after years of build up. Included multiple washes and went through 3 bottles of conditioner then greased and retwist with locking gel, no wax. After a year, I wound up cutting them off and retwist them on my own...lemon water retwist with ACV wash. Low maintenance since they kind of lock on their own but neatly (if that makes sense) and I only pay for styles and tapers.

[@guilloryboy_4098]

You parts would only matter if you going for a manicured look dat means you would be getting your locs retwisted like every two weeks if so then yeah your parting would matter and having manicured locs can actually damage you hair by thinning it out

@@guilloryboy_4098 I got the same thickness, just better parting.
