I just got my two strand twist yesterday and I’m considering to get locs from there.
Yo bro it's been 8 months have you got dreads yet
Locs locs locs never a dreadful act. 👊🏽💯👍🏽
i started wit 2 strands twist but if yall doo yall gonna have a lot of shrinkage but then it will extend again wen your locs get a lil weight to em
Nah they short forever
Bro tell me about it. I started with 2 strand twist and my hair juz shrinking up G. Plus I have either a type 4b hair or type 4 c either 2. But my hair already comes with it's own shrinkage so u could juz Imagine the shit I'm on right now 😂💀. But I just have a feeling it will be worth the wait

@@jazzy4949 bro dnt worry I have the same exact issue by year two ur gonna be good I promise u
@@lmao9179 lmfao no once they mature they move like regular locs
I’ve noticed that oil and water spray doesn’t create build up for me and is a great way to add daily moisture to my hair
you should be wetting and then putting on oil, water and oil don’t mix and using oil alone is locking in dryness not moisture
@@divamontoya5283 I shake the bottle up so it mixes enough to spray and it works for me I’ve noticed if I go without my hair tends to be dryer and I don’t like just putting oil in my hair I don’t like the feeling the water/oil mix distributes for me more easily and I don’t have to rub it in
Water is good enough but I recommend using aloe Vera water it keeps it moist longer

I started with normal 2 strand twist like one day I had them in and was like eh ima get dreads
Exactly shii looks hards
I can’t wait to Finish school to start my dreads
Just crochet them so u don't have to wait
@@J3GoKrazy Ts don’t look the same
@@Sleezk It does tho. if u get crochet locs profesionally it will be stiff for a couple days but wait it out or get a retwist and it will literally be the same. The only giveout is that ppl will know its crochet Bc u didnt go thru a process, u just got them.
@@hktech4644 regardless you ain’t gon have that same look when you do the journey it looks way better natural less stiff and less hard
@@Sleezk actually I have instant locs cause my hair is really curly and it looks really natural as long as you don’t crochet too much it won’t be stiff just leave a little room for it to lock up naturally and your good mine look super natural
so I jus keep da two strand twist in until 6 months for dem to loc?
Also my fav style as well and hopefully mines lock up in another month or so
I braided the bottom and twisted the top I did that for all my two-strand twist but I just didn't feel like getting dreads anymore so I only left one its been around two months it's pretty okay right now hasn't locked yet though but it's grown a lot
what did you do to maintain it beacuse i got a braid at the root too
Yessir started my loc journey on June 23 🔥🔥🔥
Update???
@@FREEmovieszzz free forms doing super well just need a re-twist
i jus started my two strand starter locs
Can you do a video on the hair loss condition you were talking about n tell us causes of it and ways to prevent it

@@sbhopsyou the real Riley man but that's straight up facts
Love TGel shampoo for dry scalp! works great and been using it for years!
yoo hopefully you reply back, but I had my two strands in for about more than two months, should I get a retwist now or wait till they fully lock up? And if I do get a retwist now do I have to wash my two strands before getting then retwisted?
To TLDR what my stylist told me, she basically said my twists lock up when I decide to stop coming in for a retwist and I just needa keep my scalp moisturized. Is it that simple? Do I just let me hair rock now and don’t ever go back to the stylist?
Do you wash your hair after the twistout? Or do you just leave it let it loc up like that?
How long should I keep 2 strands in before taking them out for the twist out method
Most people say 2-3 days I retwist mine every 1 months
@@ThayscapfrlnahI've had my 2 strands in for a week now what if I untwist them and they turn into Freeform's ?
Ima definitely try this cause them starter locs ugly 😂🫣
Question. This may sound confusing or stupid but after you loc your hair from the 2 strand twist method…can you 2 strand twists them again as a loc style?
Yea can use two strand twist as a style for your locs
@@ChakraHun420 ok I was jw how that works because I started my locs from the 2 strand twists way wondered if I can basically 2 strand them again as a loc style since my hair is locked now
@@LilChop419 I'm not quite sure if you can still do the 2 strand twists loc style while your locs are still maturing. But a loctition should know all of that
@@LilChop419 oh is it fully locd now & you've been thru all the stages? If so yeah you can totally do it
Yes I do it all the time
If I plait the ends just to seal it and make sure it doesn’t unravel does that make a massive difference in the locking process
No
The hair still have to naturally lock so even the braid will go through it’s own locking stage and shrinkage u risk having two different sized dreads
Been doing semi freeform for like 3 months but I'm mixed so this shit ain't looking right. Getting a two strand twist Tuesday can't wait ngl
I’m in the same situation
the video i’ve been waiting for
The chat is mad funny😂
Them glasses glossed tf up fasho 😂
good video
I have 3b/3c hair and want to loc. I’ve been researching instant locs because I was unsure if my texture would loc on its own, but what you said about it being hard to comb out that method of loc, I’m now leaning toward trying out comb coils. Could I use got 2b gel at the roots to keep the coils in their own section?
take tiny rubber bands and put them on the roots, stay away from too much gel, and wash twice a month
I got a simple question I have two strand twist n I’m just wondering should I get my shi restwisted or do I just leave it in
You said something in one video about getting your hair twisted clockwise or counterclockwise which direction is the best for starting off because I think counterclockwise would be unique im getting my hair done today btw
Soo I’m finna get starters locs and I’m use two strand twist but I want mines to lock up in a twist strand twist out how do I do it😢
do i jus get two strands and wait for them to lock?
Yes
@@Esosa4Lwould I get them retwisted like normal

I want my dreads to look exactly like the second photo on the thumbnail so here are some questions. What method is it? What size are they? And how long did they take to lock up
2 strand twist and the size is prob medium. to loc up it takes between 4-6 months but it all depends on ur hair🤷🏾♂️
@@lkatanny i just started this method today . to get ur locs like the second picture in the thumbnail am i two strand twist and doing a twist out if so when do i take the twist out but keep the dreads in after two weeks?
or do two strand twist and letting them stay in in to form locks
@@warrioreletedid u figure it out
@@warriorelete Update?
@@OnlyFanz-Jayy doing well so far two strand twist been in for 2 week. locs been locing for 3-4 months not fully locked yet. i skipped the shorts phase so i grew my hair out for 2 years before locing my hair
i’ve had two strands in for a month 17 days what do I do 😅
need longer time to loc
I just put my hair in two strands after i take them down how do i maintain them so they loc evenly like each single dread is maintained if that makes sense and should i put them in another 2 strand set until im ready to get them locked?
Don’t retwist to often or else your dreads will thin out maybe you could put them back in but make sure you don’t maintain them too often like every week maybe once a month you could put in two strand twist and maintain it again just make sure you don’t do retwist to often cause that can lead to traction alopecia
In my personal experience, I had two strand twists because I wanted to try the hairstyle but after I took them out neatly it was curly and stayed formed for a long time and would have dreaded. I just combed through it eventually. I have really curly hair
@@nekonii7148 did u put them back in two strand twist
@@nekonii7148 really thinking ab doing this method but i’ve never seen someone else do it so idk what the result will be
@@demaurionbrice7017 its really clean when u take them down to free form my hardest thing is keeping them sectioned and prevent congos when i take them out of their two strands
So I’ve had my twists in for around a month and a half and I want to do a twist out for more curly dreads. If I do a twist out will it revert back to an Afro or will they continue to loc up.
Afri
afro fs bru
Depending on the hair u can separate them and let them loc
Ian gone lie I’m glad I read this 😂
@IShowSmelly I just went 2 strand tho
Do you have a how to video on the twist out method? How to and timing info?
I’m starting mines in a week or two
goodluck gangy
How long is your hair?
@@christophercenoble4760 down to my mouth
@@jwproductions8572 lucky asl 😹 I'm finna be struggling in the beginning. Starting off with short hair but I'm still planning on locking up. Good luck on your loc journey bro!
We need younboy dreads video
I had a idea I started with finger coils and I was thinking about do two strand twist for a style but what if leave in too loc up and be bigger
If i start 2 strant twist outs. Is there a budding stage?
I started my locs journey so how long do I need to wait to wash my hair i am using the two stand twist
how long do you keep the two strand twists in before you take it out?
If you aren’t trying to loc your hair up, then you can keep them in as long or as short as you want. The longer they stay in, the quicker your hair will loc up.
@@miad7953so if I just leave the 2 strands in and not touch they’ll eventually loc up? Do I need to get them retwisted as well?
@@_1enkif u leave them in they will eventually lock up but a retwist will help them
@@SixetyyGkunzWhat products do you recommend for maintaining them

I wanna do 2 strand twistout and let them loc but i don't know how they would look been looking for vids but cant find any

@@Ty2xTv ight preciate it
i got 4b-4c hair and i’m thinking of starting from two strand twist but what will look better to leave the two strands in or take them out?
If you leave the two strand twists in they will loc up in the twist and turn into dreads so I recommend let them stay in if you take them out they not gonna loc up
@@Jaytoofright they will loc up wym
@@exot1c_dark066how will it loc up if I untwist my starter locs? I want to try the method of untwisting my two strand starter locs but I’m not sure on how it’s done?
@@exot1c_dark066they would loc up but probably longer
It locs not dreadlocks look up the word dread
I've had my 2 strains for 3 months. I'm wondering is there a difference in jumbo twist and 2 strain twist?? Told the stylist I wanted them thick when I first started. So is there a difference?
I don’t think so
Try lock counting the more u have the smaller they will be the less u have the thicker I believe I have 54 dreads that’s about the thickness of a 200 pound man pinky finger add more they get smaller but just try to get even dreads that’s most important
Could u see a difference in 3 months Length wise?
@@Unknown-bc6qw i definitely did see a difference. I mostly tell my stylist to keep my parts thick. (which ever u prefer). And also I don't get retwists often(I get em everyone 6 months) so that thick foundation can build up and not look so "scalpy". Alot of ppl can handle that long 6 months thats just my thing.. just don't get a retwist every month type ish or you'll look bald and end up getting "barrel twist" all the time to give you that "thick" look. If you just have to have the fresh retwist look try to hold out at least 3 months. Also oils weigh your locs down which ="bald scalpy look" If you want volume, thick foundation... use natural plant water-based and don't go crazy with oils. Unless you just like the fresh retwist look. I use rose water(smells fire) every 2 days to keep them hydrated and growng so I don't have to mess with oils. Not everyone has this issue but oils made my head itch but it did help it grow fast ("black castor oil plant based" all natural). So I use the castor oil once a month bc its all plants n fruits so it does help but imagine the migos and imagine Bob Marley...which style fits you and rock out from there. Welcome to the community!
Can you get locs with kamakize twist?
how long should i wait to twist out after i’ve done two strand twist for locs?
alright...umm don’t untwist em just re twist them with the other twists to still keep the dreadlock in
@@andinkomo_ yeaaa
@@andinkomo_ how
@@evanndahiro9137 basically dont untwist the twist, retwist it like they were locs
@@andinkomo_so basically u just keep them in and wait 1- month or so. Re twisted and keep doing that same shit rt
How many dreads should I have with two strand twist
Thumbnail a bit inaccurate, day 90 no way
I’m on my second month with two strand twist trying to transition them to dreads. And i’ve been going back n forth for a retwist every three weeks.
Should I continue doing that or should I wait it out longer to give my hair the chance to lock up?
4-6 weeks

U got some skinny ahhh dreads
You should not call them dreadlocks in your titles. Dreadlocks is a term used by Europeans to describe the style as dreadful. Its just Locs.
This is a myth! "Dread" refers to caribbean warriors who were dreaded by their enemies
