    (VERY DETAILED ) Did my goddess locs today I’m Inlove 😭😍 but no seriously if you have goddess locs and afraid of the curls at the end getting messed up because it synthetic just boil you a pot of water make sure it hotter than your bath water you take a shower with lol but anyways get a pitcher a towel and a long body mirror , pour the hot water in the pitcher take everything with you to the bathroom angel your mirror in side the tub so you can see what your doing , spilt your hair in four section take the back section and bring it to the front old the hair up by the ends of the locs tilt your head and slowly pour the hot water along the locs go up however far you want to go and that should do the trick of loosening them up and take the stiffness away . Hope it works .

    For everybody complaining about the pain y’all should get regular knotless or box braids wear them for a while a couple of weeks even a month then wrap them like you would regular faux locs and it won’t be as tight and you get a second style with half of the time

    Your faux locks are very pretty. Whenever I get braids or twists I get in the shower the same day to loosen them and break down some of the stiffness. I sleep using a large clingy type scarf that allows me to have a little cushion and it relieves some of the uncomfortableness.

It's day four and it's much better but yes the oils help a lot too! I use a mixture I made with coconut oil and tea tree and rubbed that all over my scalp. Then added some Jamaican black cast for oil around the locs that are on my edges.

      Ne-Ne Scott wash them and put a detangler on your ends. “Rake”comb them with your fingers. Occasionally I used a paddle brush just to smooth them out. Rinse out conditioner. A lady at my local beauty supply store recommended using On Natural’s Premium Oil Free Curl n Wavy curl defining conditioner & detangler every day on my synthetic ends. It works wonders. Hope this helps.
