    I really like your locs, I am hoping that mines turns out something similar. I wish our people didn't look down on the "dada" style, it's very beautiful to me. I now subbed to your channel, very good videos.
    My question is do you sleep with a head scarf?

      Awww, thanks so much for the nice compliments sir. I wish people can accept that locs are just as beautiful as Afro lol. I sleep on a satin pillowcase or use a satin scarf 🧣 to avoid lint and retain moisture in my dreadlocks 🥰🥰

    I’m growing my hair back from shaving it on 3/24/21 my hairs around an 1 1/2 inches I would say give or take depending where on my head. I want to start my free form locs is now a good time? I simply wash it good and leave it alone? How long before I should wash again? I genuinely am so lost on where/how to start😭 you and your locs are so beautiful 😻 I’m grateful for any tips from you and others💖

    • @ChideraStephen
      @ChideraStephen  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey dear, yes you can start with long hair. The only thing is that your hair might just do its own thing. So most people with long hair use twits or braids or finger curls to separate their hair. You can choose any or just stop combing and your hair will loc on its own.
