ok i started my locks using 2 strand twists and its been about a month since i started them. I wanted to know when the 2 strand twists will start to lock up and the pattern of the 2 strand twists will go away.

are u black or white 2 strand twists are for african hair only and never will dresad in other hair types ande 6im guessing u went to a salon and they said dont even wet it for a long long time well thats why nothings happening u gotta wash them for them to dread

and did they use wax or anything if so that also prevents dreading

in short

if u woulda gone natural and never had the 2 strand twists youd probly have dreads now (if african)

if not then in a month or so u would naturaly

either way washing so they untwist some and actualy can dread will help a tion

i dont have elastic bands and i only used the gel one time when i put them in and havnt touched my hair since except for washing do you know how long it will take my hair to take a more matted look instead of twisted?

i use the baking soda and acv rinse and i dont have a wool tam the reason i used 2 strand twists is because i can wash them with out them coming apart and they do look silly thats why im wandering how long it takes before the change
