[desertrain10]

Been natural for a little over a year and now im in the process of starting locs with small box braids, im 3 months in... no buds in sight

Anyone else start theres will braids? If so you have any tips?

This question is for everyone, how long it take your hair to start locing?

Heard water helps accelerate the locing process is that true?

I started buding in a month and a half. Fully locked in 3 months. Water won't help loc but you do need to wash them, dirty scalp will inhibit growth and cause irritation.

I started mine with twist

my hair started locking withing 3-4 months

sea water helps accelerate locking. If you are by the ocean take a dip. There is probably some concoction you can make with sea salt and water.

Does this product feel like a gel or a cream?

I have used the one below. It doesn't hold more than a week. That's why I stopped using it.

 

[OhMars]

It feels like a cream.

It holds my hair for weeks, until I wash again.

What do you use now @MzKB

 

[MzKB]

@ohmars…I use barry fletcher loc serum and I love it. I always try different products just to see how it stands against what I normally use

 

[blakfyahking]

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.

got dayum

where you been all my life...........

[Black Boy King]

i need some ideas on how to keep this shit out my face. shit hits me in the eyes when i work out.

i found that the underarmor sleeve idea causes frizz...

Cut a hole n a satin bonnet for best results.. them joints you can tie like a durag..

Or a stocking... or sum shyt, aint no rules to this ish b.

Niiiiice.....chicks wit loss >>>>

 

[OhMars]

Just got my hair interlocked, that shit hurt but I like the way it looks more than a regular retwist. We shall see how is stands up to washing
