Yarn Dreads

i COMPLETELY agree! idk how many ppl have complimented me on my "locs" and they were surprised to find that they weren't! i wish i had taken pics when they were fresher, i would post so you can see. good thing is, there are still websites that are good reference (standard google images, youtube, etc). also i wanna say that i think the yarn actually helps my hair retain moisture better than typical afro kinky hair (that i used for twists)...my natural hair just feels softer to the touch so the yarn may have something to do with it :)

Then she can have someone twist her new growth to start her locs, or she can have someone do the interloc method on her new growth. Also imo, it would be better to start the loc from yarn braids, than the technique of wrapping the braid that your friend used. It will still work, but the loc blend better with the yarn braided (without wrapping individual braids) If that makes sense.
