    I started my locs with two strand twists at the beginning of June. I have very soft 3c/4a hair and it was a little pass mid back length fully stretched. I wanted to start with comb coils but my hair starts unraveling after about 3 days and I wasn’t about to try and fix the coils every week. I’ll be doing my first retwist this weekend and August 10th will officially be 2 months in and I’m loving it!! Great Video

  • @jainicole

    What people forget about coils, is that you can style them and leave them styled for 4 to 6 weeks. I coiled on long hair and kept them away for 4 weeks at a time. Oiling my scalp 2 to 3 days and by the 4th month my hair locd. All those cons go out the window when you style them and leave them alone. Coils are the way to go! They look different once locd.

    Great vid! I started my locs before the quarantine but I’ve cut them since. I made the error of starting with the crochet method, which for my 4c hair type was too compact and made my hair stand on ends. I didn’t like that look. I’ve decided to restart start with twists, then let them freeform as much as possible then maybe go back in with crochet method.

  • @KenlovesJ
    @KenlovesJ 4 роки тому +6

    Thank you! In April I started with comb coils that I installed myself. I cut my hair off last August and wanted to try something new. I combed them out in June because I was stressed out but also worried about the sizing. A few days ago I started comb coils again, they may be smaller than I'm hoping for. I really wanted to go to a salon but I don't trust anyone right now with COVID. The first set did have a lot of unraveling but they were cute. I have a hard time keeping my hands out of my head but I'm hoping this set ages and locs well. I keep them in bantu knots since I'm doing maintenance myself and I will wash them early if I need to. I washed 2 weeks in last time and didn't notice any issues other than losing some of my parting system.

    Great video! I started with two strand twists the end of June, I have 3c/4a hair and unfortunately I see no locking signs, not sure if its because my hair is so soft. It does look thin and 80% of my twists have unraveled at one point or another. After I got my first retwist after 5 weeks, the unraveling is minimal to none. I wonder how different it would be if I did comb coils but I am trusting the process
