Hi Jane

Don't be fooled by any products who claims to make your haur curl. The thing is those products all work the same with a minimal difference. All they can do is capture the already existing curls.
If your hair is very moisturised and is a 4a/4b hair type, it is going to curl If it doesn't curl, then that's probably because it's 4c but you can make it curly yourself. I don't know how long your hair is but you can try doing finger coils, it takes time but will last you 1-2 weeks. If it's long enough to do twists out then you can try it too.

Here's a video

For those of you who want to lock their natural hair and feel like they have to cut the dreadlocks if they don't want them anymore

Here is a video on how to loosen dreadlocks

NosoChic, Nikita1 and NotOfThis will love this

But damn her hair is extremely long

lovelygurl:


Besides there's sooooooo much you can do with 4c hair. It's the most unique and the 1 which stands out the most.

My fear about locs is finding the right loctitian. ...I'm presently in ibadan and I've seen lots of wannabe dreads

NotOfThis:


They really are thick. I think she must've started with 2-strand twists or comb coils, or did she say in the video? Only skimmed thru it, lol. They look nice but they're too big for my liking. Those aren't the type of locs I want. I want sisterlocks but it's really hard finding the right loctician to do them. I really want to get them done this month, please wish me luck in finding the right person to do them.




Me too oo. The struggle is real, lol.

I LOVE sisterlocs; My fav locs;



I will find more pics to post later.

Jigba:


Really beautiful

What's the difference between sister locks and normal locks?

NotOfThis:

There're differences with cost (sisterlocs are expensive; lockticians charge a lot for them, like $600+), time (sisterlocks can take 12+ hours to do, depending on the hair), maintenance, etc.

-Looks-wise, normal locs are typically fatter and not always uniform but sisterlocs are slimmer and all the locs look the same, which makes them look better, imo. With sisterlocks you can have up to 400+ locs on your head, which makes your hair look fuller and denser. Personally, I like the look of sisterlocks the best, while some people prefer the look of normal locs.


Did you know about sisterlocks before, Jigba? Are you looking to loc your hair too?

Jigba:


Interesting

No I'm not

Omoluabi16:

Oh you REALLY missed me ehn I was banned for a while.
Let's not derail this your lovely thread..I'll mention you some other place.

NotOfThis:
Glad to meet another natural who also wants to loc her hair. What's your motivation? Why do you want locs, if you don't mind my asking? Yes, you're right. Locs can be styled in different ways. You can twist them for a twist out, put them in a bun when you've gotten the length, colour them and much more.
