      I love your locs! You have parted each loc so neatly. It seemed like you were about to reveal how many locs you have. Did you and your daughter ever get that count of how many locs you have?

      @@AJ-pc2gl Thank you so much! I tried my best with the parting, it's not as straight any longer, but it's all good! We did do a full count vid as well. I think it was right around 180.

    • @zayyduhkidd1
      @zayyduhkidd1 4 года назад +2

      I’ve been told it could be due to your curl type. Looser curls sometimes have a bit more frizz than tighter curls

    Thanks. I did my locs 6 months ago. I need advice on whether to twist or Rob my locs. Also, what natural product would you recommend I use to give it body and gloss. Help me out please I do not want to undo my loc at all. I love my hair. Regards

    • @CraftyEarthMama
      @CraftyEarthMama  3 года назад +1

      Hi! Do you mean twist or roll? As is palm roll? If so, I like chose to twist and nit palm roll, because I want to keep my locs thickness. I also like the non uniform look I have by just twisting the roots. For body, I recommend curling your locs. I use rags for rag curls mostly and oh the body! My locs bounce and move like loose hair. For gloss, I use coconut oil. I don't use it everyday, but sparingly. I have videos on twisting vs palm rolling and also rag curls, check them out for more info. Hope this helps and much love!

    • @CraftyEarthMama
      @CraftyEarthMama  3 года назад +1

      Hi there! I didn't do anything in paticular. I just washed my whole head often, retwisted when needed and used a little coconut oil and/or essential oils on my hair as needed. I only use oils on my scalp for a massage, not regularly either. It grew in nicely like that with little manipulation.

      Hello! I'm not sure. To me they are kind of frizzy, but some would say they are not. I guess it's all relative. I do not retwist or use product down the length of my hair, because I want to retain some frizz and the "big hair" look. I love big wild hair!
