    How to get FreeForm locs: Do nothing but wash your hair normally and let them naturally lock on their own. Saved you 14 mins. Bless

      @Murk do you oil your hair at all during the free forming process.

      @@abelsavage1390 If you want. But to get freeform locs you don't need any products whatsoever. You literally just clean it and do nothing else. Since the hair takes years to lock up and grow people get impatient and use products hoping it will make the process go faster. Wash + Patience, that's it. Bless

    I initially wanted my locs to come in from 2 strand twists, however the woman who did it did a poor job and a couple of them came undone and I just did nothing about them. 12 weeks later, I noticed they were beginning to lock up on their own, so I took my twists out and now I’m pursuing free forms. Day 5 of the journey!

      Use a Towel or Sponge to section and twist your hair, that way you can speed up the process of your free form locs, maintain a balanced amount of sunlight, cause during the journey your hair must be completely dry for it to lock, and make sure you don't wash it more than once a month, don't apply any products either, and if your hair is short then it's not that it's not locking, it'll just take longer cause short free forms often tangle and it gets messy, give it some time and it'll "grow" into locks

  • @KrissyChacon
    @KrissyChacon 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have 3 different hair types on my head. I am a 3a on the halo of my head (the top), a 2b on the sides of my head, and a combo of 2c and 3a in the back. I have been considering doing a brick pattern for the undersides of my hair and leaving the top alone so my loose hair hangs over the locks. I have been scared, though, that doing so (I am painfully white) will be offensive and I do not want to steal anyone's culture or white wash their culture. You mentioning that people with straight hair can lock their hair has given me the strength to do more research on the history so I can really decide if this is something I want to do and appreciate the history more. Thank you 💜

    Hey I have a question, So I just recently got a curly perm from a 2a hair type to a 3b-3c hair type and I was wondering if I could use a dread sponge to get my dreads, If so comment and tell me

    Gunther Da Great quick question, I am white and I have naturally curly hair, I believe it comes from European genes. Now with this idea in mind how would I get dreadlocks?

    This is exactly how i got my dreads, they locked up and looked liked that, all i did was wash with water and towel rub
