      I was wondering if I could go from freeform and then go to maintained locs. I'm trying to get the miles morales look from spiderman 2, and my hair was naturally looking like that before, but then I sponged it to get more defined segmemts and that was when whatever "locs" (they weren't completely locked up yet) began to twist together causing some locs to twist into another lock and just an overrall inconsistent pattern.

    Is this coarse hair? I want to get locs but I have coarse hair, and I'm kind of skeptical of getting locs because I'm scared they might unravel on my type of hair.

    Should your locs be wet even before rettaching? I have had mine for 5months now but they are not good...what should l do? Which wax is the best?
