Don't do it for the style, it's not for the impatient. Starter locs are a test of patience because some people will not loc as fast as others, they may come loose, they may become frizzy and look crazy, but that's a part of the process. Don't give up! Comb twists are recommended for those that aren't very active and do not sweat a lot. 2 strand twists are recommended for those with a more active lifestyle, or have longer hair. Recommended maintenance is 2-4 weeks, depending on hair growth. This allows me to check on the locking process and we can discuss your progress, if we should do anything differently, and if we can wait longer for a re-twist.
