The simple truth is locking of hair is like from fryiing pan to fire.That is relocking entails three days of excruciating headache and taking of paracetamol. Well it hinges on your scalp.As for me it is not easy.Mind you, my advice is from practical and not theory.

For some reason, I've always been attracted to ladies with locks.

It is very economical you pour water on your hair anytime you want. You can change the style long to short,with different colors too when you want.

Dreadlocks is bae, I’ve had mine for about 4 years now. Go for palm rolling it’s less painful and a healthier lock option. Though it doesn’t last long like crocheting I actually just discovered it. Good luck.

My friend is just one person. If you want to get data, I believe you spread out your sample size. So if you have a meaningful contribution, drop it. It would be well appreciated.

It is not safe/healthy to pour water on your hair anytime you want. It rids the hair of its essential oils.

Lol. I was shocked when someone told me this. I thought it would be a walk in the park.

And it takes time to lock... At least 6 months cos u gatz to be going to de salon every 2 weeks to relock cos it gets rough easily(dats if u are on natural hair).
I am surprised to read this. I thought only natural hair can be locked. lipsrsealed

Your comment clearly shows that you are a dunce, you know absolutely nothing about dreadlocks. I suggest you keep your opinion to yourself.

Get an experience stylist that specialized mostly on dread-locks to handle ur hair.

Don’t give ur hair to different hands to handle, have someone u can trust to handle.

Mine is almost 7 years now.

Be ready to face shit talks, what matters is ur confidence - deaf ur ears ��

It’s quite expensive to maintain, though
Re: I Want To Lock My Hair, Is There Anything I Need To Know? by Rebbyjaja: 8:09pm On Aug 31, 2022
Firstly; you need patience as dreads gets rough with time and maintenance in’st more than 4k

Secondly; it can be loosened, trust me it can even after years. I know cos am in to dreads full time.

Thirdly; You can braid on it this brings us to the fourth one it’s always advisable to have medium dread cuts so one can make other styles.

Lastly Dreads comes in different cuts, sizes and forms that includes( instant locs,starter loc, micro and sister’s loc) depending on what u want. So just think about it and make your decision having it in mind u can always loosen it.Cheers
