YEP I DID IT !! Locs/dreadloc appreciation THREAD!!!

[NuLife]

I'm all for locs! Being a natural i've always wanted them myself, but they are too permanent for me. I did however try my hand at faux locs and loved them. I'll for sure be doing those again. I get the look without the commitment. win win

 

[Chi Snow]

faux locs?

They sell that shit in the beauty supply?

 

[NuLife]

lol nah, its just when you braid or twist your hair and then wrap the braid or twist with hair to get the same look.

 

[Chi Snow]

Like two strand twist?

Drop a pic, I don't work well without a visual

This is the only one i have on my phone. I can upload a better one where I have them down when i get home so you can see them better. But you should be able to get the general idea. I did mine kinda big because i was too lazy to do a bunch of little ones, but I still liked them.

I've only done them once and I kept them in for a little under 2 months. I would've kept them in longer but had to take them down for my wedding.

I don`t use shit, I just use shampoo and conditioner and let nature take it`s course and they coming along better than my old dreads. I do use some olive oil lotions and other oils to keep them from getting dry tho
