What To Know Before Starting Locs (Two Strand Twist Starter Locs FINE 4C Hair)

[@quisentials]

This is one of the best starter loc videos I’ve seen, and a sis is searching and researching. Thank u!

[@priscellamitchell]

Im loced since the 13th of februari 2023. I have 75 locs. And did it myself😁 Im almost 5 weeks in. Washed my hair twice. Every monday I mist with Rosewater and put my oils. And every thursday I only mist my hair with rose water. And so far! Im so in love with my hair. It was the best choice for me to do❤

[@Lxlocs814]

I got 76 small medium two strand I got the locnloaded oil and hair mist I got mine done Tuesday and February

[@_queenkariah_3135]

I got 74 locs currently, I just counted them the other day. Their smedium parts but definitely thick so I like them. I am nervous about the count though because most videos talk about how they started with a certain amount of locs and ended with a different number from having to combine them and I don’t want to have to do that😭

[@deellaboe437]

I started my Locs yesterday and found this video today lol! Wish I'd watched yesterday. May need to go back and re-do. I'm doing my Locs myself. I feel locticians are so expensive.

[@krazeekreationz2363]

That’s fa sho 🛼💜🛼💜I’m trying planning to start locs after my 50th bday July 2023

[@kidz919]

Exactly same. One of my friends always tells me to go to a loctician but I refuse to do it because they are so expensive and it's not a one time thing. You have to go to them every few weeks or month. I got enough bills to worry about. Last thing I need to worry about is adding a hair bill to that list

[@vanity243]

What I wanna get out of it is not doing my hair again and yea I said it, meaning I’ll twist it over to keep the maintenance but no styles , I just want to be able to get up and go without having to style my hair.

I was the same way when I had locs years ago and it was a big reason why I decided locs weren't for me because I hate having to get up and do a bunch of crap with my hair but now I have entered the journey again with starting them since I hate having to cut my hair too when it gets too long

[@mememy2302]

I’m so used to wearing braids that I feel like it compliments my face as far as having the full look , plus the length (normal length) . My natural hair is shoulder length, and when I wore twist in my natural hair it was cute but I still felt insecure about my hair being bare. I hate that the braids make me feel comfort like a fat kid wearing a coat in the summer to hide her arms type of feeling. I keep pulling toward wanting to loc my hair cause I know I can make it cute. I have to get out my head lol sorry to vent on your page . Loved the video. I’m more convinced to do it now after watching

[@CittyBell]

Same. I haven't done it yet, but the thing that brings me comfort is that I've looked at a video were the person still did braids and twist over her started locs and even years later. I'm excited . I just need to get my mind right and ready to sit still and do it. Good luck with yours l, well actually how did they turn out. I just noticed your comment is avyear old.

[@mimipastry]

I think I have 78 twists at the moment but some of them are a bit smaller than the majority of my head even though the parts are slightly larger. I want to wait and see if they swell up in the coming months since I did them myself… i only followed a somewhat gridded pattern in the front. I had to wash my scalp after two weeks since I did have some buildup. I’m hoping to see these beauties progress

My step daughter sometimes goes 2 month s plus without washing. I use a butter I make and oils I combine. Nothing else goes in her hair and sometimes she will wash it because we cant remember when last it was washed. Maybe to freshen up her hair but her scalp is like 5% dirty.

Thanks 😊 for this video. I started my locs on April 6th with two strand twist. I am a new subscriber to your channel and your videos help so much🌸

[@FlawlessEnigma]

The length of time you take to wash your hair entirely depends on what your hair needs. Also, it's not about "who started a theory of dirty hair is the way to go with locs." Rastas, in general, prioritize low manipulation of hair, often going months without washing theirs. It is not considered dirty because they do not use conventional hair products like we do. Their diets are also much cleaner, which naturally affects secretions.

I got my hair two strand twisted on the 21st I’m not even gonna lie I have no clue how many I have and I got lucky because I went to some African lady and she braided my roots

[@mesha0712]

Hello. So she braided it at the root then started the two strand twist? It's been a year. How has formed. I think I like the idea to start with a braid

[@Roccworld_Trizzy12724]

@@mesha0712 yes ma’am. I went to an Afro-Jamaican lady with descent sized afro and told her I wanted two strand twist. My birthday was in 5 days and I really wanted braids but I didn’t think I had enough hair for hang time so I went with two strand twist. I never gave her a size preference or anything. I just let her do what she felt was best and I ended up with a thicker set. For me it’s perfect because they shape and fit my face perfectly with and without my glasses. But I also semi freeform so they did end up being different sizes and I cut all the 2 headed dragons and i ended up with this permanent freeform look. But that could also be from damage due to me just doing what I want with them I don’t have a real routine at all I just let my hair tell me when and what it needs as it needs

I’ve been looking for someone with bigger than microlocs who maintains their hair with interlocking. Question - have you found that alternating methods has had a negative affect on your hair? I started with retwisting and have been interlocking the last few months. But I’ve been considering trying a retwist next time and was curious if it would cause issues.

[@ImsimplyLC]

Personally speaking, I haven’t found it to be a problem. I’ve never interlocked more than 2 times in 1 year but typically only once a year and for the rest of the time I retwist!

[@WEFAbender6]

@@ImsimplyLC i was curious about this too, i wanted to find a way to maintain the retwist look for as long as possible but i like to wet my hair swimming and for dandruff care, but i heard alternating damages it.
