  • STARTER LOCS ON MEDIUM LENGTH HAIR | Starter locs for women! #4b4clocs #4bstarterlocs #4blocs #womenwithdreads
    Hi everyone! This is day one of my loc journey on my 4b medium length hair. I went to a professional who did my starter locs install with a comb coil/palm rolling method. I can't wait to watch my beginner locs hair grow and transform, and I hope you'll go on this starter loc journey with me! In this video you'll see why to get locs and see my first day with locs. Check back for more updates on my 4b starter locs and info on starter dreads for women.

    These videos got me so excited . My appt all the way in September! 😆 in between the time I’m getting braids in July for my trip then after I’ll be coloring it blonde then going in like 2 weeks after to get it locked. I’m kinda impatient but at the same time I need this time to decide on how I want them started. Atfirst I was thinkin coils but now I’m kinda leaning on the two strand side . I already do my hair in two strand anyway being natural already so idk 😂

    As your locs start to Bud and mature it'll get bigger and also make sure you're getting a retwist only using water because if you use gels and wax to do a retwist your locs will start to get build up and a lot of gunk which is not something you want in your locs

    Wanting to loc my hair cus I have natural THICK coily hair that I’m tired of doing. Does anyone know the different with starter locs when they comb coil and palm roll? I know it looks different but does it depend on the different texture hair that makes the loctician decide?

    • @AmberAriel
      @AmberAriel  3 роки тому +1

      I think it mostly depends on what the loctician is most comfortable with. But, the palm roll technique is really good for people whose hair is looser, because it keeps it from unraveling. Definitely check in with your loctician about the options!

    • @uptGuapo
      @uptGuapo 3 роки тому +1

      @@AmberAriel thanks! I have so many different textures. Loose curls, corkscrew, wavy. I read that comb coiled locs are usually for short hair. No wonder I never seen them on longer hair. I’m natural but when my hair blown out it’s mid back length. But I have A LOT of shrinkage. My hair grows big and always want to go into an Afro and I’m tired of doing it. It was either a brush cut or dreads option for me. I might just end up going with the 2 strand but I’ll definitely ask the loctician what’s best for my grade of hair. Thanks for replying 😊
