I got 4c hair and pretty decent box braids (I'm like 2 weeks in) other than making sure your scalp is hydrated what other forms of maintenance should I expect
i started my loc journey already w a lot of hair on top and got it braided late may. i wash my scalp w cleansing shampoo 1 a week bc i work out a lot so my braids are starting to become a lil more frizzy should i continue to wait out the growth process or should i go to a loctician and get them loced/retwisted ?
Locka gang checkin in 🔒I’m a year late to this video but this explains why it’s taking my hair so long I started my locs like this and my hair is curly as hell, it’s taking a long time to get the dread look
I have braids in rn and i been thinkin about doin dreads for a while now i wanna start dreads but at the same time i dont some1 convince to do dreads 😭
I have locs turned from braids. and I'm not gonna lie, I sometimes regret it, not because it looks stupid or ugly, cuz it really don't, I just wish I started with the two strand, cuz my locs are slim, because the braids I started them with was slim. whereas the two strand would have had my locs a lot thicker (pause). So that's my only regret. but as far as how it looks, it looks as good as any other fresh retwist.
I started from braids & i cant even tell now .. i see no pattern at all... one problem i ran into though was the ends being locked but towards the root its split in the middle due to the braid ... but thats only one loc though
I started my son braided locs about 2 months ago.......When I retwist, what should I use as far as product? because I wasn't aware that beeswax was bad for the dreads.
I have 51 braid locs just wet them they will frizz but yes they take longer about a year I lost my pattern before my black friend I have 2c hair my locs are about the size of a sharpie marker
@@VinnyMatthews awesome! Thanks for the response, she still has them in right now and she's thinking about if she will let them lock up! I myself am going freeform with my locs 😌
I have braids to I want dreads so I sticking with braids til my hair gets long shold I keep doing this or get dreads now my hair pretty long it goes to my hairline at the neck any thoughts
@@VinnyMatthews by washing , u mean full on shower with shampoo and conditioner ?? this the first time i ever got a protective style so i’m tryna learn 😭😭 subscribed btw ✊🏽
What’s the difference between dreads and box braids besides the fact that u can remove box braids? To me their the exact same they look the same braids just have more of a pattern.
You’re pretty much right on. Dreads are matted hair that aren’t manipulated. Box braids you can take out. I wouldn’t say they look the same. Compare a box braid pic with dreads. The textures are way different.
@@VinnyMatthews depends on the size of ur box braids. My box braids r skinny so u can’t see the pattern as clearly as u would if they were bigger like A$AP Rockys. A lot of ppl think my box braids r dreads
I am white, considering getting dreadlocks, I want to know if I will get a lot of hate from it. I know some people may not like it, but I’d love to know how much ‘black’ people hate it when ‘white people get dreads.
