As my hair dried, I used a spritz bottle to keep it wet. All of the stylists that I know always do the twists (for starter locs) on wet hair.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727047449152827037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470980984079223252.post-54666415180387380712011-05-09T16:52:59.002-04:002011-05-09T16:52:59.002-04:00Curious- are you going to blow dry your hair befor...Curious- are you going to blow dry your hair before you put your two strand twists in?

Oooh, my hair is super super thick! I went to my stylist from back in the day (when I was getting my press and curl on) and she shampooed, blow dried, and actually trimmed it, not cut it. Now I think the January trim was a cut instead. Anyhoo, I'll be posting length check photos this week. Be sure to check back and see.Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071016583187622819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470980984079223252.post-13174731536471710912011-05-03T13:03:25.048-04:002011-05-03T13:03:25.048-04:00Thank you, I learned something new about locs toda...Thank you, I learned something new about locs today. I didn't know they could be started with two strand twist. I have never did a length check, but I think I should start. <br /><br />Congrats on your new hair life!

My length check is today and although I have noticed growth since wearing the afro twists, I think that I'm going to be a tad disappointed when I get my ends clipped today. I don't know if wearing the twists is going to be counterproductive as well - you get growth but need your ends trimmed. If that turns out to be the case, at least I can say it's healthy afterwards and then just move on. I still believe in the wash regimen I've chosen for this hair challenge, but need to find better ways to keep my ends right. You've seen my hair so you know. lol<br /><br />I do understand your need for change and I know your hair will look great no matter how you choose to style it. Third time's a charm, right?<br /><br />BTW, love the name "Naja".Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071016583187622819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-470980984079223252.post-63022535503107226602011-05-03T10:18:13.392-04:002011-05-03T10:18:13.392-04:00Aww good luck!

Hair should not be a source of frustration especially with the little one on the way!<br /><br />I do think that your hair actually looks thicker in Jan compared April. It tapers much more in April which probably means an inch or two cut off may help the hair to gain length again. <br /><br />Anyway, all that aside, I do wish you the best with the loc journey!!Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.com
