      This resembles finger coils that are easy to loose out back, therefore how do the locs stay in place?

    • @mickeybat5816
      @mickeybat5816 11 месяцев назад +2

      I was wondering if I could go from freeform and then go to maintained locs. I'm trying to get the miles morales look from spiderman 2, and my hair was naturally looking like that before, but then I sponged it to get more defined segmemts and that was when whatever "locs" (they weren't completely locked up yet) began to twist together causing some locs to twist into another lock and just an overrall inconsistent pattern.
