Hi everyone, been wanting my locs for YEARS...but something always came up...well after a bad breakup last week, instead of crying and eating junk food i dreaded my hair...YAY me. anywho just introducing myself....
knotty-krysten-kronic
con grats they look good but ..looks like u maybe crocheted them? thats really noy good to do but ifgf u throw the hook away now they will recover
didnt crochete them...i parted then rubberbands at roots, then seperated and pulled tear and pull tear and pull.....
yep thats what i did, i like them so far just not really sure what to do with them yet, theres all this stuff about care and matinance...all i know for sure is i aint putting wax or gel in them, i want to keep them pretty natural...my friend sugested that i spary a sea salt solution, cuz i have naturally REALLY oily hair....but she hasnt sold me on the idea yet....(srry for any spelling errors)

uh u didnt crochet just palm rolled the hell outta em ah i see
sea salt will help you dont gotta do nothing for maintenance except wash and seperate thats all i would take any rubber bands u got in out right away u do not want rubber bandsin em
u did a good job
thanks....worried tho if i take the rubberbands out...how do i get the new growth to dread....i know it will take time but i need them decently presentable within 2months for job reasons....
rubber bands will leave indents will weaken the roots will undo progress as u remove them they can be swallowed entirely in a week they can melt in and dry rot and become a sticky gross mess
do nothing to the roots the roots will in no way at all affect your ability to get a job
just took out all the rubberbands...my head feels great now...you were right my hair was already eating them! 
thanks for all your advice. 
one last quick question....some of them are already pretty tight but other ones are kinda lose....should i just keep palm rolling or leave them alone?
