Hi, so I have been growing out my hair for a couple of months to get them ready to loc. I am deciding to due backcombing because I have heard it is a good natural way to start, and I want to make this as natural as an experience as I can. I am intending to grow them as a spiritual journey, as I am sure everyone else has their reasons. But I am half Filipino, and half Guatemalan so my hair is fairly straight but has more of a wave to it. so I know it will be a good experience maintaining them and whatnot. My hair is just about 3 inches long, and I was wondering if that will be long enough to backcomb them and then just wait and let them loc up. In washing my hair once a week with BS and ACV is that good in terms of helping my hair get ready to loc up? Also what thoughts are there one starting locs with 3 - 4 inches with the backcombing technique. If there are any specific things to look out for or how to keep them in a more loc position. I am also considering waiting several more months to let them grow to about 6 inches if it would help them stay locked up better. Thank you!
