Very good video, sir! It was awesome to see all the close-ups as your hair matured throughout those months. The photo that was 2 weeks post install took me back hard to my starter locs...good memories! In a weird way, I wish I could go back. Who would’ve ever guessed I’d feel that way. There was just an overall excitement about the quest that first year that has yet to be matched, truly inimitable.

How long after a retwist should you wait to wash your hair? How long does it take for the locs to hold without fear of washing it loose?

Is it safe to use rubber bands to help lock your hair and if so what moisture do you recommend im new to getting locks

Just Twisted my hair... Took a pre-pic of my high top afro... Wow... That is one heck of a journey you went on... If you didn't take those photos, I would not of thought you went through all that... Thanks for the lessons... What do you think about elastics with starter locs young brother man????
