Hello. My 1st set of locs were started with braids. I had shrinkage with the braids also.

Very informative,I really love your hair,I started my hair with braids..so far good,I also use the latch method works well for me,by the way you look nice ,saw your little prego hump in yesterdays vid..cute..I wish I only had the 2 stretch marks ..lol, Question,What can you do to control the fuzzies? Or is that a part of the process? Peace and blesssings.

[BigandLittleM]

Yes, the fuzzies is part of the process. In the beginning I would curl my locs whenever I got tired of the fuzzy look.

I don't know what happened to my first comment, so here I go again. Sorry if it's a repeat. ~You addressed the question of how to prevent holes in your locs, but how do you correct the holes if you find that you have them further down you loc. Let's say maybe an inch away from your scalp and/or new growth?

[BigandLittleM]

If the hole was noticably big and the hair hadn't loc'd yet, I would try to relatch by going through different directions. It's hard to explain.

Hi, I was wondering how did you cure alopecia? My hair was sheddind so much and that's why I cut my locs off, not sure if it's alopecia don't have any ball spots that I know of but it is scary, is there any thing you use to grow hair back?

[EloiseTV]

Great video. Lots of good information. :-)

[BigandLittleM]

No, you do not have to latch. You can twist your roots or freeform.

[mastershokhan]

your videos have been the most informative dread videos I have found. The latchlocking and how to start a dread ( where you use the doll ) tutorials are my favorite on the net.

Does nappturality still exist?

Hey, I think my daughter has alopecia also. I have done research so this is what I think it is. She would loose hair natural and now has locks. She has had the locks for a year and so far has lost her back and hairline. Anything I can do to help this.
