I have always loved the look of locs and your locs are so beautiful and healthy. This weekend, I'm going to start my 10 year old daughter's loc journey per her request. She has never shown interest in wanting to learning how to properly care for her hair when it comes to conditioning, detangling, style it, and so on despite my efforts in trying to teach her. On the flip side she loves wearing it down and free; minus the detangling stage, resulting in me keeping it braided up 80-90 percent of the time to keep the knots at bay lol. I was initial on the fence as to whether to do comb coils or the two strand twist method due to her hair texture being 3a/3b and very long and dense, but after listening to your journey, as well as taking in each picture you presented, think I'm going to do the twist method. Not only that...but your video was the pushed I needed to start my own. Thank you for sharing!
