@nogreater_luvnatural7402 2 года назад

I started with two strand twists and secured with an interlock. The so called “ugly phase” I consider transitional and the fuzz and frizz is my favourite part. My loctitian asked if I wanted her to use the needle to clean the loose frizzy hair and I was like NO! Lol … it’s what I love most ❤️

@getrealhood 2 года назад

What all did the interlocking really do for you?

@nogreater_luvnatural7402 2 года назад

@@getrealhood I’m only five months in and I’ve only had one re-tie. My next one will be on the 25th of this month but so far so good. I prefer interlock because I’m menopausal and it’s more secure when I sweat. Plus I’m in this for life cause I just can’t be bothered with hair and I need a fast solution 😃

@karmariawhidbee1489 2 года назад

Just started mine and about to interlock as well for security

@theresapebbleinmyboot Год назад

Same. I have very fine "4a" hair, even though it's thick, so I needed smaller locs and love the frizz. I'm 6 months in now and the two stranded look is disappearing. The frizz makes my hair look super thick and I love it. I don't feel like it's an ugly phase. For once I actually love my hair and what it's doing 🤣

I love that you said try the style out first then take it down and try the otherway. If your loctician prices are reasonable i would definitely suggest that for people who are on the fence

Yes! It makes the process of starting so much smoother and calms the nerves because you know what to expect already

I enjoyed this video. I am into the sixth week of my second set of locs. My hair was really long the first time, so my starter locs were 2-strand twists. This time, I cut my hair shorter and got comb coils. They loc so much faster on my hair!

My hair is 10-12 inches and length regarding the twists vs coils wasn't something I considered and the size expansion was good to know. Looking on this journey next year after I grow out my undercut.

So happy to have found your video! I started my 2-strand twist locs (short, thin hair) in August 2022. I "tried" the finger part method, uhhh, that was not a good choice! I am a disabled veteran and my finger parts don't look like they right...lol! Problem: some of my locs are budded, most are NOT...front half of my locs just won't loc, regularly untwist and basically, I don't know wtf I'm doing. I want to fix it, but I don't know what to do!...unable to pay a professional loctician, so here I am on YT asking for help! - Be safe and take care😎
