[@l.apastore4208]

How do I get Coles hair?? My hair is long enough but what style is his?

[@heytres]

FreeForm dreads , his are thin so he might twists them from time to time with his fingers I doubt he uses a sponge but everyone's journey is different find yours

[@yamakusefatare4338]

my hair looks very similar to this but i been freeforming my hair into dreads for year and a half now with never twisting my hair. but look it up its called freeformed locs and its more then a hair style its a life style

[@nitablackwood6301]

+Yamaku Sefatare facts.

[@nov23gbe]

+Shawn Thomas I think he does use a sponge because of the pictures of him before FHD
