    Quick Tip: If you want them to lay a certain way you have to twist them or start them in that direction (pulling). 👌🏾

    Love the message at the end about loving your hair the way it is now. I've been growing my hair from a buzzcut since Feb, and that's what I had to tell myself everyday when i went through the "ugly" stage. Which to me wasn't all that ugly at all. It's mostly due to what other people say/ imply when they talk about ur hair. Anyway, awesome tutorial! I'm planning on starting dreads once my hair grows a bit more.

    Thank you so much! I have been considering combing my dreads out but I was nervous about if I will like how my normal hair looks after not having it for a while. But now I know that if I do comb it out and don’t like it, I can have a way for getting dreads back with my longer hair. So again thank you💖

    Finally decided on locing my hair. Went to the store and bought the Jamaican mango and lime . Then came home and found this video !
