How big the afro got to be to start ?

@@leerossemanuel8902 doesen't really matter but the shorter the hair the longer you will be in the "ugly stage". Your hair gonna look like small worms but like he said trust the process they will grow and fully lock

You retwist your girls hair?! If my hubby could do that..... that's amazing

How is your daughters length now?

Keep a steadfast mind on your journey I'm on my 23 month journey now

@@archelmcfarlane8984 I want to learn about mediating and what Crystals and type of sage I'm suppose to use

I love this comment and your dream, my two strand twists are 1 week old today and I'm excited everyday for my hair to start locking :)

@@unspkn4thz thank you.. actually I had to get them redone the first lady did them wrong 😡 but some of them were beading up so hopefully they'll start locking soon.. good luck to you

Facts bro even waves are easier

what do you mean by maintenance?

@@NAIRxtc work and care. locs take more care than people think

@@patfrmda7 I think A Big Afro is tougher than locs on upkeep.

How’s the progress ?

LETS GOOO!

Thanx same to you fam!

I just wear a stocking cap and gently massage my head that way I don't mess up the hair and get a clean wash

Yessir

How they looking now☺️👀

I wondered why my satin scarf was staying on all of a sudden and realized I changed my pillow cases to silk 💀so this definitely works

I've been using satin pillow cases, I need to make the switch to silk. Everything comes off my head at night and it's so annoying!

Hows it going?

Same here. The first year was rough for me. Had to learn my hair and get it healthy. It was dry, damaged, and felt like newspaper. Right now, it feels IMMACULATE!! I know I am going to miss this phase when I finally loc it, so I am wearing my fro out in all its glory as often as possible!

I’ve heard it’s really good but from what I’ve seen on KZfaq castor oil is the way to go!

@@kingofchonchos1998 castor is not the way

@@WhereisYunoGasai honestly I’ve had my locs for a while now and I haven’t used castor oil so I can’t even speak from personal experience so far I think Tea tree peppermint lavender and eucalyptus are great and have worked for me

@@kingofchonchos1998 you named all the right ones yeah, castor is too thick so it’ll cause product buildup and will attract lint and fluff etc

@@WhereisYunoGasai ah bless haha thanks for letting me know 💯 much appreciated

Me too let’s goo

I got 2 more weeks for 3 months

Have they started locking? And how often do you retwist/wash

To be honest I started with 2stand twist and I put water in my hair cuz it locs it faster and for washing i know it the right time when my scalp get mad itchy

but mines are almost completely locked now so I can wash my hair freely without unraveling

What's budding??

@@sylvesterclemons3115 when your hair starts to expand before it contracts for the first time basically. Looks like lil bulbs idk how to explain it

@@GoldPhoenix preciate ❤️

Happy New Years! 🙏🏾

Made a video about this check it out kzfaq.info/get/bejne/admZa8Wnx5y2haM.html

Mine used to do that, I would just play with them through out the day twisting them

Thanks big dog keep 🔒🔒🔒💪🏾

Bro I don’t know if you care or not but you just answered all my questions I got my starter locs this morning and got a shower cap thx bro.

@@Infinity777z yea I care that's why I posted it so ppl know what's up. Each one teach one. GOD BLESS....

@@187DREWDOGG you too brother but one more thing im a ps4 player and I like to chat with my friends on the mic. Will my headset ruin my starter locs because I only put it on over my durag

@@Infinity777z your good, I wear a headset when on the phone driving (trucker)and with the durag on your super good

Starter locs and instant locs are technically the same thing but with starter locs you go through the natural process of it budding and locking when you do instant locs 9/10 they are going to use a croshay needle so it locs up faster but instant locs sometimes doesn’t give you that natural loc look

I currently use black castor oil

Sticky? Did you use wax to start them?

@@KINGDOMKONCEPT No she used gel.. don't really now what kind of gel she used, but I got them re-twisted Friday and she told me that they are doing what they are suppose to be doing, bc I asked if they were locing in the back

@@kahlilasinkfield6765 She wasn’t telling you the truth... Gel should not leave your hair sticky, whatever she used is leaving a residue in your hair which can result in a major build up. Wax is famous for doing that, that’s why I asked if they’d used wax.. There’s even a chance that when she washed your hair she didn’t completely rinse out the shampoo, that can leave a sticky residue as well. Whatever she’s doing something isn’t right. I wouldn’t take the word of someone who says everything is fine when you have to go on KZfaq and to ask is something supposed to be something or not.. I wouldn’t even go back to her period.. I don’t know if she’s a friend or you’re paying her to take care of your hair and if that be the case of course she’s going to say everything is cool because she wants your money.. I’ve had my hair for a year and I’ve used multiple gels to retwist my hair, some made my hair flake some made it itch but I have never had my hair to be left sticky. Anyway I hope that everything works out for you.

I have no clue proly around 95 to 105 I’m lost Locs throughout the journey so I stop keeping track

some people do theirs at home

@@diior6blocka764 very true, thank you

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

@@MrTaeLove also and this is next level shit but hold your sexual energy I got my's on the 30th been growing my hair for 3 years the fro length was to my jawline now it's to my cheek bone dued to shrinkage but I know through semen retention and drinking a gallon of water everyday the length will come within time💯
