Rolling with afro/braids atm. cut my locs off a while back but they weren't as long as yours.

I've tried a decent amount of oils & product, but currently I've found that olive & coconut oil work with my hair the best. I've got some pretty dry ass 4c hair but I've found that using light product has helped & keeps it well moisturized for long periods of time. Shampoos & those heavy leave in conditioners left a lot of buildup in the past, but as it is right now I've got a nice little routine with a semi-regular coconut oil leave in conditioner, occasionally switch it up for the olive oil gel, & use shampoo roughly every 1.5-2 weeks. My girl braids my hair maybe once a month or two and she never points out any buildup in my hair.

I don't really understand hair that well, my girlfriend teaches me a lot honestly, but for the most part I think it just requires some trial-and-error since everyone's hair interacts with product differently. I'd definitely experiment with some lighter products/oil & avoid heat too.

Ay I just did that towel rub s*** to start my semi freeform dreads. Not sure if I did that s*** right but I wasn’t applying too much pressure on purpose. Jaden inspired me cause I see him starting his dreads over the same way and his s*** so fye to me

Yeah looks good

U won’t see results immediately so don’t try to force it, you’ll see them start dreading over the next few months just don’t comb and keep it going

And if I started it with a light towel rub shouldn’t I continue to do it once a day till it locks up? Or we just deadass not touching it no more whatsoever lmao
