I had my parts free styled! I didn't want a manufactured uniform look. I wanted different sized parts and locs and for them to grow as they see fit. And it turned out great for me.

Although this video is a year old, I'm seeing it for the first time. After doing my big chop on Dec 3, 2010, on Jul 14, 2017 I got my starter locs! Tomorrow is my first maintenance/retwist after 6 weeks. I liked his last (1/2) tip about the base and not having to get squares (or rectangles). It didn't occur to me to do or ask for different shapes! Very interesting. Good luck to all those starting their loc journey! Thank you for the video!😊

But that shrinkage tho. I have super shrinkage when wet before locking and also with my coils When will shrinkage not be an issue? I'm 17 days in and hating the shrinkage but loving the thought of how great my hair will look once I've completely locked.

Got my hair twisted June 21st. It's August 27th now (same year!) 1 question: you said, always to style your hair because when you wear the protective style, you're less prone to touching but how often? asking because if we to style frequently, won't that cause damaged edges and snap hair etc. I know this post is old, but i hope someone sees and answers.

mir mir I usually wash my hair right before I get them done you basically use a nice shampoo that you know actually removes buildup and you wanna start at the root and scalp and let the shampoo work its way down the dreads

For sure! My locs don't require much maintenance at all besides oiling in-between retwists. if you are looking for an easy hairstyle that you don't have to do much to on the day to day, locs are a great choice!

Sorry, aloe vera might be a great product for retwisting given that its light and natural. Only thing is it may flake up white residue after time. I know eco styler gel does but I'm not sure about aloe vera. You should give it a try and let me know.?

Tommy G if you do twist method you should get your hair redone every 2 weeks. and that is when u should wash. it takes about 5 months for your hair to lock completley with the twist method. that is what i do for my hair. check out my channel to see
