How To Do Comb Twists (Starter Locs) Didn't like Salon Set

[@nikilove]

I just left salon getting my hair in starter locs, and let's just say I'm back to my afro already. Momma always said if you want it done right do it yourself, so guess what..... I AM!

[@theartoflivingoutloud888]

Niki Love 💕 Confirmation. I was going to go to the salon, but I was having doubts. I’m definitely going to do it myself.

[@LuvnDaNaturalMe]

Good job doing the comb twists. I could never master that when I was a loose natural trying to do comb twists to do a coil out. They look really good.

[@9nine19]

Great video. This video has definitely inspired me to start my locs myself. Thanks. I love your hair

[@spicyingrid1]

Thank u for ur video. I've been looking for a detailed starter loc video and now I have it. Ur locs look amazing

[@rimasingleinny1871]

It looks tight to the roots to me.I’m on quarantine so about to wash my hair and start the process😝

[@AlwaysAWorkNProgress]

I started taking my starters down today to start over. I'm definitely coming back to this video. Thaks. :3

[@blissfulsperspective]

im currently doing the same thing lmao...went salon dont like my parts so having to redo, thanks for this vid sis

[@tatitupme]

Nicely done I feel the same way, I went not to long ago an I'm not happy with my set. I'm going to try it on my own...THANKS

[@iyonna.unique496]

I did my twist with the exact comb, and I got mine from the dollar store it’s really important

[@EricaLMack1]

Thanks for sharing. Now there's a comb for coiling.

[@SirDadzie10]

looks nice. good luck with your loc journey.

[@ValentineGirl81]

Thanks for this. I just paid for a salon set that was a hot ass mess. I'm gonna redo it myself next weekend.

[@naturalbeauty0214]

ValentineGirl81 You're Welcome! Good Luck on your journey...remember to take your time.

[@Cocodan-jn5md]

[@ebonykornegay932]

[@RaquelsView]

They look good! How many times have you done this before? I've tried. My back always looks crappy. I'm going to give it another go though. Wish me luck! :)

[@naturalbeauty0214]

[@naturalbeauty0214]

I wanted to start locs on my daughter's hair. Thanks for the video.

[@Leftovercash2024]

That's right! Save some money. Pretty soon I'm going to teach myself how to twist my own hair when I get down to three months. LOL

[@janishiafleming2811]

That's awesome love your video and personality can't wait to start mine

[@JaydotNicole]

Your eyebrows are nice! Your hair too !!

[@AuNaturral]

looks great!!! omg you did amazing

[@shy4442]

I’m going to do it my self and I’m a little scared for the parting 😬

[@krissydior423]

Omg u are beautiful with locs!!

[@normamartinez3144]

in your personal opinion do you think this method is good for all types of hair? I have been wanting to start dreads for a wile but I am having trouble on how thick I should do them and what style I should start them.

[@Cici-ze2dx]

Yes u can start ur dreads with Marley twist on have my hair with some

[@JazNetwork]

i started mine 2 strand twist 😳 should i have done comb twist? is that better ?

[@Stav3687]

hi im wanting to start my own locs at home this weekend i wanted to know when twisting them what size comb are you using? also what type of locking gel is best use to prevent the hair from unraveling? sorry one more lol is your hair damp?

[@theartoflivingoutloud888]

Thanks for the video. 💚🦋💚🦋 I’ll be doing my own as well.

[@dequetta_lashae]

they inspired me to I'm going to be starting mine soon

[@naturalbeauty0214]

Plz dm me on my instagrambwhen you finish

[@dequetta_lashae]

I surely will when I finally decide which method I wanna stick with I'm doing more research now -Naturalbeauty0214

[@beautifulawakening2541]

Looks great. Do you know how many locs you ended up with?

[@beautifulawakening2541]

I have tried it so many times but I'm not sure why I haven't mastered the technique yet.

[@beautifulawakening2541]

I tried that as well but it seems to get tangled in my hair

[@beautifulawakening2541]

Do you use a heavy oil or light oil to maintain the twists

[@nubianprincess766]

You did so good!!! love it

[@Trapful]

thats what i im gonna do but i need those dread clips for my head 😂

[@DaveBradleyComedy]

I just began my journey late July so mine are still pretty short, it's been 3 weeks since my hair has been washed okay im getting off track, how on Earth do you use the comb if it's already twisted, I'm so lost :(

[@napturalyeen10]

You don't use a comb. Lol. Just twist with your fingers.

[@naturalbeauty0214]

Lord Dave Bradley Sorry about the late reply, I didn't see this one until someone commented. You can use the comb to retwist only the new growth or part that is not yet twisted or loc'd. If the comb is too difficult, as stated above, you can use your fingers (palmroll). Whatever is easiest for you, you know....

[@kellyluv84]

Just Palm roll never twist with the fingers locs need to be palm rolled

[@gaddie85]

Your hair came out great! What size are your parts? I'm guessing 1/2 inch. I would like to try this myself. Oh lord lol

[@naturalbeauty0214]

Thank you!!! If I had to guess, they are around 1/2 inch in most places, smaller in the back. Yea give it a try.

[@cynthiacollins268]

I like this process

[@musiconfire10]

Fabulous tutorial! Thanks for sharing!!

[@kendrarogers6039]

I just started my comb locs a week ago. I use the same products as you did. but I was wondering if I use to much product due to my ends are kind of hard. are your ends a little stiff?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

+kendra rogers WhenI first did them they were a bit crispy at the ends. One of the reasons why i switched to natural products, but i needed the hold.

[@milanwrld]

I'm want to do this look on my bf can I just use gel loc & get the same results

[@Price8903]

Awesome job.

[@quintonhaynes3935]

I have started with comb coils and mine are unraveling a few of them and I just got them done 3 days ago is this normal??? Any tips?

[@828Antonia]

what should I do to my hair prior to starting comb twist?

[@cenazibeats7028]

Locs look good by the way also why is that people with afro hair can have more and thicker locs than someone with straight hair

[@mykiamoto7145]

because of the texture of our hair. it's naturally thicker and coarser so it's easier to loc and will naturally do it by itself also

[@zinnia4515]

because of the texture. straight hair won't hold easily ☺

[@MsPoopoojuice]

Thank you so much for this video. 👍👍

[@taleshasmith8101]

What kind of comb is that ? Please

[@ashleyh8049]

Was your hair completely natural or did it still have relaxer in it?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

+Ashley Howard all natural

[@shanellesmaw2974]

How can you tell that your dreads are locking

[@naturalbeauty0214]

+Shanelle Smaw They will start to get lumps and get real fuzzy

[@ryu343]

What products do you use

[@jalensmith9008]

Would this same method work with a hi top im redoing mine and i wanna do this

[@JowieMaster]

I'm considering joining the army in a few years and I wanted to know if you were still in the army? If so what hair styles did you do that were within regulation? Also if you are still in the military how are you able to have dreads and be within regulation? If you could help me that would be great thanks.

[@JowieMaster]

Thank you, that's really helpful. If you don't mind another question how are the regulations used to get away with sister locs? Because they are neatly kept and uniformed but they are still dreads. Do you have any insight into how the regulations can be used to get away with sister locs?

[@JowieMaster]

Thank you for your help I appreciate you and your service

[@angelah6472]

They look good. i really dont like salon twists either. i cant watch full videos....can someine tell me if she used hair butter to twist

[@63lilmama]

What's the name of the comb I'm a little scared to use a rattail comb since your pulling

[@naturalbeauty0214]

its called a barber comb, unfortunately pulling is inevitable if you have any sort of length.

[@taylork1057]

Hi, are comb twist permanent? And if so, how long is it safe to wear them for them to not lock up

[@kingferg7582]

Kiya Taylor I'd say no more than 2months but unlocked hair won't stay locked that long anyway

[@marvelousme2800]

Is that a special comb for twisting?

[@creamekay]

can u use prostyle gel with sprits

[@journeecharleston6638]

Do you have to use that special comb? - Or Can You Use Any Comb?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

Journee Charleston As long as its a small toothed comb

[@AnaisZani08]

pretty good but you dont have to go over what you already did start from the from the root and it should be tight when done

[@miareneem]

excellent job

[@lovelyladycarter3687]

Great job!! Thanks

[@autee7654]

how often do you wash and condition your locs?!

[@naturalbeauty0214]

+Auteana Dixon I Wash n condition every 2-3 weeks.

[@tracybossladygreene438]

What do you use to lock them besides beeswax?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

At the time of this video I used ecostyler gel because I ran out of ingredients to make my Loc crack lol I try to stay with natural ingredients. Shea butters, oils, beeswax are my main ingredients.

[@tracybossladygreene438]

OK thanks I just went out and bought some stuff gonna clip my ends and see what happens....thanks again

[@naturalbeauty0214]

no prob!

[@heathernewton7129]

I think lock gel

[@LionessOGN]

You may want them small now but when they get more matured they will get smaller and you may end up having to combine them.

[@Mikesmoove412]

How long was your hair when you started them?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

im guessing 6-7inches

[@reldiva8510]

How did u get the bac .it b hard for me & kinda uneven

[@naturalbeauty0214]

+Lisha Kemp I use a hanging mirror on the door...you can see what im talking about in my loc hawk video

[@ebonyferguson5906]

Did you use a specific grid pattern?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

boxes

[@kamarar2906]

I like beautiful.gel?

[@JaeJDay]

How long did the twisting process take?

[@Cindy99765]

It usually takes about 2 hours. More or less depending on the size

[@dizzleflow21]

what type of comb is it that your using ?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

+dizzleflow21 its called a barber comb

[@Aieshavivianmoore]

Can you start dreads with marley twists?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

I'm not sure, never seen it done that way.

[@Ahsao]

Good Job!

[@deshaunnamatthews7858]

[@naturalbeauty0214]

+DeShaunna Matthews lotta body, eco style gel and root organic stimulator

[@krystingrant6292]

where did you get the comb?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

+Krystin Grant my local beauty supply store

[@krystingrant6292]

+NaturalBeauty0214 I'm going to look for it. I'm using the comb small on one end big on the other. not to bad. I like this one.

[@krystingrant6292]

+NaturalBeauty0214 found it just now. dag on thing broke the third comb. I'm use the other comb they usually use but so far good I have my rat tail with metal piece so my parts are better.💪💪💪

[@kagenyiflavia9257]

good

[@ladiij2603]

ughhh my hair keeps getting tangled up in this dam comb 🥺 i cant do it

[@naturalbeauty0214]

Yea it takes some getting use to. I found it easier to take my free hand, grab the loose hair to wrap it around the combos it doesn’t get stuck in the comb

[@annag6400]

Is that not painful?

[@naturalbeauty0214]

no it wasn't bad at all and im tender headed

[@annag6400]

***** That's good that it didn't hurt :) I'm white and have straight hair so I have no clue about how it works and that. To me it looked like it would hurt, and is also time consuming. It's really fascinating to watch though, super interesting how this process can completely change someones hair to look after it differently.

[@childcareforchildren]

nice!!!

[@msqueenZ28]

what's in the bottle???

[@naturalbeauty0214]

+Liz Hilt lotta body and water
