[blanquita444]

my bf has 4a hair (salvadoran and black) and im white and i wanna reloc it bcs it gets frizzy at the scalp rlly fast like 3/4 months in so i feel like itd be nice if i knew how to so he wouldnt have to pay a lot of money to get reloced every 2-3 months
he has a lot of hair growth like his hair grows rlly fast so I was just wondering, tips for relocing his hair and stuff or if theres a faux dread i could do that would look better or last longer

Easier then it looks, just make sure you don't accidentally congo any locs.

Obviously you're not doing it on yourself but just watch the vid

Hair type honestly doesn't matter that much when it comes to retwisting. You do the same thing either way. Whether you need the tool or not depends on the condition his locs are in

It doesnt? he told me its harder bcs his hair is not as curly as normal darkskin hair since hes mixed so its hard to loc together

Harder to loc up maybe but idk if that is the same for retwisting. I'm mixed and my hair stylist doesn't have any problems retwisting. If you want the locs to be twisted more neatly with less or no loose hairs you might need a tool.

Idk tbh. It takes a few times to get good at retwisting. If you guys can afford a stylist than I'd go with a stylist. Make sure to ask em questions on how to retwist the hair if you do. Really just depends on how confident you are in you're ability.

Also he was talking abt if he didnt get reloced about trying to get straight hair cuz its cheaper because he rlly wants an emo side part but i lowkey feel like itd damage his hair alot
I told him the only way he could safely do that is a silk press and he said "isnt that for girls"
Whats ur opinion on this
this is the pic he showed me

Im a man so I don't really know tbh. If emo is what the brotha likes then I guess he can do what he wants. Even if he doesn't like the silk press he's gonna get the same result either way so I don't think it matters. One just saves your hair.

True but i think also silk press straight hair looks better than regular straightened hair

The hair he wants shouldn't have that glisten and nice looking end. It should be messy at the end. You are the difference in the photos.

Yeah but there is indeed a lot of undergrowth in the first photo on this thread. But the locs themselves look nice.
