[@iamlatishastewart]

I love your work. The other method it is faster but the natural hair was an issue for me. This is the method I use but let me give u a tip. Instead of using a whole peice to braid use half of it. Sometimes I cut one peice in half and make 4 braids. Or how about this. Use yarn at the base. It is a lighter option only problem make sure u moisturize the he'll out of that natural hair before adding yarn becuase it holds moisture.

[@NiqueLynn]

Heyy, thank you so much for the tip! I actually did a set yesterday and thats exactly what I did. I cut it in half, but I got two braids out of it. 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your tips with me 😍

[@tenishab4889]

How many bags of each hair did you use??? You did a very good job on her hair!!!! You truly have a gift!!!

[@NiqueLynn]

Hi Tenisha, thank you so much!! ❤ The information is in the description section 😊😍

[@loreenjuma1911]

Nice

[@NiqueLynn]

@@loreenjuma1911 thank you😊

[@serenebee]

Thanks for sharing that u became disheartened with the original style. That has happened to me also lol.

[@NiqueLynn]

No problem dear, disappointment is sometimes a part of doing hair that doesn't often get spoken about. As long as we keep trying the thing that we struggle we will be victorious!

[@pnwokeleme]

Beautiful!!! Do you know how heavy they were? The first time I did faux locs they were so heavy. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@NiqueLynn]

Thank you so much! I'm not really sure how heavy hers were. Hopefully they weren't too heavy...how many pieces did you use per loc.

[@pnwokeleme]

@@NiqueLynnthanks I used maybe 2 pieces per loc. It was a few years ago. I might try just one

[@NiqueLynn]

@@pnwokeleme Yes, I use just one. I am actually working on a brand new tutorial, it should be out by Friday!😍

[@farahpatterson5244]

Great job 👏🏾👏🏾

[@NiqueLynn]

Thank you love!!!!

[@MrMissnaynay1991]

😍😍😍😍

[@NiqueLynn]

Thank you!!!

[@aniyahmonet5398]

Is the 16inch Cuban hair did u actually use 16inch on her hair or was that just the image u showed ?

[@NiqueLynn]

Yes I used 16in on her but I extended it

[@justbleu5093]

When starting the braid did you cut the cuban twist hair in half or did you just use a whole one ?.. if that makes sense lol

[@NiqueLynn]

I had to go back and watch myself lol I think they are cut in half. That's a great question and my apologies for leaving out those deatails.

[@justbleu5093]

Nique Lynn i was just asking because that was a great ideaa ! Thank you and your work is amazing 💛

[@NiqueLynn]

@@justbleu5093 thank you so much love ❤❤❤

[@lenoralee3208]

Like my hair is like hers do yhu think 2 packs of the 3x cubian hair would work?

[@NiqueLynn]

If you referring to the ones that have 3 bundles in them then possibly, although I havnt used those packs yet

[@lydiathekid9351]

what length hair did you use ?

[@NiqueLynn]

16 in

[@marywoodard610]

What inch is the croshet & larch hook hair

[@NiqueLynn]

I believe it's 22in.

[@kykyakalakya2348]

It's spelled crochet and latch hook. 😊

[@abaresoul1487]

If I wanted several of the pieces to be just with the deep twist hair, aka not a faux loc, to create a boho look is there a technique I could use to do that? I was thinking wrapping just the deep twist or gogo curl hair, around the cornrow, but idk of it'll stay?

[@NiqueLynn]

I dont think it would wrap well around itself, but I have an idea for you. If you want to have those pieces hanging losely. Crochet it through the braid as normal. Clip half of it to the side and only wrap one half of the piece with cuban twist hair.

[@abaresoul1487]

That makes sense thank you!

[@chayboss123456789]

How do you get the locs to be the same size or do it come that way already?

[@NiqueLynn]

The locs are individually hand wrapped. The same amount of pieces of hair were used for each loc.

[@chayboss123456789]

Thank you so much for responding it really helped ❤😍

[@fanoree9637]

Which curly hair do you use plz?

[@NiqueLynn]

Hello its the fretress braiding hair, all links are in the description 😊

[@juliesbraidsbeauty6199]

How did u finish off the wrapping of the loc?.i find tutorials never show tht part.

[@NiqueLynn]

Hi JJ, thank you catching that. I didn't realize I didn't elaborate on that part. I will certainly take that into consideration for future videos. Once you get close to the end you begin to wrap the hair up the loc and then palm roll it

[@ms.thomas5758]

@@NiqueLynn can you knot it then palm roll?

[@NiqueLynn]

@@ms.thomas5758 I think you can, I seen some people even glue it when knoting it

[@Angela-nh7fh]

This way is quite long though, prefer the other method and it's more flexible as well

[@NiqueLynn]

Yes you are correct. The other way is quicker, however the braids didn't stay inside the locs very well for me

[@Angela-nh7fh]

@@NiqueLynn that is true, the wrapping hair kept shifting up and down and hair inside kept peeking out.

[@CarringtonRenee_]

. How did you keep your locs from unraveling

[@NiqueLynn]

Hi, I used a lighter at the bottom

[@sapphires.5038]

Or nail glue

[@revolutionminds.oficial]

Hello, how long to do such a job?

[@NiqueLynn]

Hello about 8 hrs

[@NiqueLynn]

@@MrsKatHargrove really what part, I'm pretty strict with servicing children. They have to be able to sit.
