  • okay i hope u get this... is it posable to start locks with rubber bands on the roots thats what i did.???

  • @shekinahalive . Yes. It will eventually lock. When I started I soon found out that the begining is all about training my hair not to separate and do what it wants to do. When it started locking it became second nature for the hair to want to be in the locs. If you still twist, that would be good but if you don't that's fine too. They will be thicker if you don't twist them and do freeform (letting it lock on it's own however it wants to)

  • Dont comb my hair! How in the world will I accomplish that?!!! My hair is pretty coarse and I dont know how to go about that. Could you help me with that please?

  • I know it doesn't make sense but try it.  It takes months before your hair locks anyway and much longer time before it matures and becomes very dense. I put grease on my hair and patted it down. If you can't do it. At least try it for two weeks before getting it twisted the first time. What happens is when you comb it, it slightly changes your curl pattern. Every little bit bit helps. It may just take a little longer if you keep combing your hair but then again it takes a while anyway.

  • Thank you so much...I am in the process of locing my hair. This beginner phase gets hard sometime but I know if I stick with it, the outcome will be FAB*U*LOUS.

  • You'll be fine
