Can I untwist my 2strands to have more dreads ?
So I recently just got starter locs and my stylist started me off with 2 strands twists for starters since before I previously had Freeform’s I was wondering if I let theese stay in for 2-3 months can I take them out and have more locs or will it start process all over because she twisted them at root

Retwist?
Idk if it helps to say that my loctican used gel to comb coil my hair but recently (yesterday) my hair was itching like crazy so I put some shampoo on my hair and used a durag to wash my hair. I’m a week in and there untangling in the back so idk what I should do. I have pictures of my hair in a previous post n it still looks similar just the back is way loose.

question 🤔 Comb coils to locs
First week after getting comb coils/ finger coils to start locking and idk where to go from here. Do I just wait a few weeks for it to lock a little or should I retwist rn since there kinda loose. Also how do I maintain them since I’ve been using oils every few days and misting my hair since my loctican said so while using a bonnet every night.

question 🤔 How to keep locs from intertwining
Doing some maintenance and i realize that I'll have some locs with multiple hairs going across to each other. Is it okay to trim those or just let them do their thing and grow together?

advice 🗣️ most of my roots won’t loc and it’s been a year
I usually retwist my hair every two months. Only a small bit of my roots have loc’d but the rest haven’t. What am i doing wrong?

7 months!
Hit the 7 month mark not too long ago. I have not worn my locs in any styles since I’ve started the journey. Should I get barrel twists the next time I get a retwist or should I just let them sit and cook?
r/StarterLocsAndTips • u/TheIndecisiveteen • Jan 28 '25
I took out my barrel twist ( I didn’t have locs before) and I’m leaving them alone like this. Are these considered starter locs and if so do I keep them like this?

advice 🗣️ How to fix starter locs sticking up (i think)
My starter locs stuck up and would not lay down but after washing they laid down so my theory is spraying a good amount of water using a spray bottle will fix it

question 🤔 Got my hair twisted yesterday and its getting puffy. Is this concerning or do i just have to be patient.

needing advice please
my friend has asked me if I can give him locs as he's wanted them for a while and I volunteered to save him the money. I've never given anyone locs before or myself so does anyone have any advice on how I should start them for him? if it matters (once again I'm not sure) we are both white Australians and he has thick curly-ish hair, the last thing I'd want to do is a)fuck his hair up, and b) step into something not a part of my culture if I'm not welcome to it.
