    With braidlocs water is your best friend. Water helps the braid pattern to fade away faster. Since this is the longest and strongest loc method to start with, you can soak your hair in water everyday, this helps loosen the braids so the strands can mesh and tangle into a knot. Overtime the braid pattern will swell and fade as it keeps absorbing more and more water.

    I love your hair, it's so beautiful. I'm a licensed cosmetologist and I really hate how people think someone can't do there own hair. You did a great job and now I feel good about starting my locs with braids. Thank you

    This is so inspirational. I just started my micro braid locs 2 weeks ago and I have about 345 or so. I know each journey is different and I'm excited 😆, but yours give me such hope with the length and weight! My hair is half natural and half relaxed so I'm curious to see how it will turn out. I haven't found one person yet who is like that. Most were already full loose naturals. Best wishes on your continued journey.

    • @keshia1390
      @keshia1390  3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thank you so much!! 😊Honestly I don't have a real answer for you. I mainly focus on making sure I am doing the pattern correctly and not creating any holes. I think placing the tool close to the loc every time you interlock helps also (if that makes sense).
