12:32 yes, very black hair would look nice on you. When locs are dyed very black, they look very shiny, if that's something that's important to you. (There are natural products you can use for this, too, if you don't want to use a chemical-based temporary or permanent color kit. Indigo over henna will blacken the hair. But whatever you prefer, though!)

I tried the Jerome Russell color hairspray at your recommendation and I absolutely love it! I didn’t find it to be sticky at all. The color looks so natural and it lasts quite a while 😊I’m interested in trying the blue😅 I totally feel you on missing the beginning stages. I’m four and a half years in and I really miss the volume from the beginning to year 2. As nice as it is to see my hair getting longer. I’m definitely planning to cut it back into a cute little bob once I reach mid back length. Long locs in the summer time is no joke 😰

Does this cause the hair not to get dried out by the chlorine after swimming? Do you still have to rinse/cowash the hair post-swim? Can the treatment be done on braids too? Also, what's the white liquid in the first spray bottle?
