    thank you so much for your videos! I started letting my hair do its thing a little over six months ago and I watched your videos for the first couple of months, but I could feel myself getting impatient and comparing myself so I stopped. now that I'm at the six months mark and decided to come back to watch your videos around the same time and I'm shocked that I have similar progress!!! it happens so fast, I'm actually getting some legit locs! so so so excited! thank you again for sharing your journey ❤

Whenever it’s my wash day (one so far) I took all advice domi gave to wash hair and my hair just went back to its old normal state (just a high top) and had to re-sponge it. When it grows more will this still be a problem?

      @@ayomiflower I cut my dreads like 5 months ago, because they didn't become uniform in thickness and to be honest the sponge method isn't a good method for starting dreads if you want dreads which are atleast past ur ears in length and all the same thickness it . I suggest if U want long dreads U start of by sponging for like 1-2 months and then you go to a salon and get it twisted properly. And then U just keep on getting getwist regularly
