    I just joined this site a few minutes ago. I've known about the site for years, but mostly just stuck to youtube. Now I'm trying to connect with others on a journey similar to mine.

    Hi I just stumbled upon this website and am looking to start locking my hair but I don't know where to start. I ended up free forming my hair by accident and love the look I'm getting but I'm afraid I'll end up with the Bob Marley hairstyle. I'm wanting to get a tidier look. Does it matter if you start locking with braids or twists? What will happen if I were to free form with either one?

    I'm still a newbie in natural hair.. started over a year ago and have wanted dreadlocks since I was a kid and I'm more than ready to start this journey!

    Yeh, it seems like you will need to research lock installation techniques and maintenance. Both, along with your texture will determine the outcomes of your journey. There's a lot of that information here on the "help me with my locs' board. Happy reading!

    Thank you for your response. I will keep on researching. I've read from some that it doesn't matter if you start with braids or two strand twists.

    Well, it does matter - the end results are different, maintenance and care is different so it's worth researching. In the end, both will result in locks-but the journeys are definitely different. Your hair texture, lifestyle, personality will impact the decision and what's the best way to proceed-for YOU. Design your locks to fit your life.
