The first three photos are me right now at about 9 months starting with comb coils. I wash with Shea Moisture brand shampoo about every 2 weeks, hydrate with a peppermint and tea tree oil/water spray daily after I get out of the shower and get a retwist about every other month. I sleep with my hair covered every night as well. I think I got the basically down but I wonder if I could be doing more to eventually get the look I want ie the last two photos. Any suggestions?

So my hair used to be pretty long and healthy. I dyed it a couple of times and it caused some damage so i cut it and went back to my black hair color. I need advice on growing it out and hairstyles to help with it. I’ve always straightened my hair so now i’m taking a break and getting butterfly locs. I really want to grow it out so i can feel more confident wearing it natural. I have no idea how to take care of it. i typically wash, condition, blow out then straighten my hair. i’m ready to find what’s best for my hair and my hair growth. Any and all advice is appreciated and welcomed.

Say NO to tangling with these hacks!
As curly ringlets have a different texture from waves and straight locs, they may appear perfectly groomed one day and unmanageable the next. In spite of the volatility and unpredictability of spiral strands, proper haircare of deep wave hair extensions can reduce problems like frizz, tangling, and breakage without upsetting the natural springy curls. A little bit of commitment to caring for your beautiful bouncy mane and the correct concoctions can help you achieve the perfect look.
Detangling your hair can sometimes be time-consuming, and it might even damage your deep waves if done the wrong way or using the wrong tools. Proteins in the hair strand give people curly that enhance and support your curls, rather than weigh them down. Read on for step-by-step instructions on detangling your curly hair or for your deep wave bundles without breaking or damaging your strands or disrupting the shape of your curls.

Replenish Parched Strands

If you have spiral deep waves you may be more prone to damage and dehydration. To help prevent frizz and keep your hair nourished, try using natural almond & avocado curl-enhancing mousse, gel, or butter once a week. Alternatively, natural oils like coconut, french argan oil, or peppermint & aloe soothing scalp tonic can be beneficial. Simply take a few drops and massage them into your scalp and strands. Leave it overnight and rinse it out with shampoo the next morning.

Choose the Correct Ingredients

Right Ingredients for Deep Wave Hair
For curly coily hair, it is not just a matter of using the right ingredients, but also avoiding harsh, stripping products. Curls require significantly more moisture than other hair types because their natural oils produced by the scalp cannot always reach the hair, leading to more frizz, tangles, and dryness. Thus it is important to use shampoo and conditioners that are very hydrating and nourishing.
If you have coily, curly, or kinky hair, a cowash, also known as a conditioner-only wash, is the perfect solution to prevent damage, breakage, and frizz. It replaces your regular shampoo and conditioner wash routine, and won’t strip your hair of its natural oils. We recommend the Design Essentials Almond and Avocado Nourishing Co-wash which will help maintain moisture and restore hair’s natural texture.
Having clean, healthy hair is essential, and shampoo is a necessary step in the process. However, skipping conditioner would be a mistake. To keep your curls looking their best, start with hydrating and nourishing your hair with a conditioner. After conditioning, the curl-defining gelée form is the perfect way to enhance your curls with a frizz-free definition, and retain moisture for a soft and bouncy look.

Use Hair Serum

To help strengthen and smooth your locs, Indique has created Silk Essentials Thermal Strengthening Serum. This lightweight serum penetrates the cuticle to lock in moisture and restore shine while also protecting your hair from extreme heat.

Protect your hair from heat

It’s best to always use a heat protectant before styling your hair with heat. Your risk of developing heat-damaged hairstyle increases when you use hot tools like blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons. When subjected to high heat, the keratin strands in your hair alter in structure. A light, heat-protecting serum that strengthens and smoothes the hair is the Silk Essentials Thermal Strengthening Serum by Indique.

Detangle Before Washing

Always Detangle before Washing
Before washing curly hair or deep wave bundles, detangle them. Brush your hair thoroughly and detangle it. In addition, do not rub your hair too hard when washing, thereby preventing tangles.

Use Silk Pillow Cases

Knots in your hair can be caused by friction between your hair and pillowcases. Use either a silk or satin pillowcase while sleeping. These materials have softer fibers, which help to avoid tangles.

If you are new to deep-wave hair bundles. This guide from Indique hair store should have provided you with plenty of information on how to make them last. Since these extensions are made from human hair.

I have two strand twist currently, and was considering starting to have them loc. however, one problem I have is that I want the fluidity and movement of the hair I have now, but I want much thicker strands. I have pretty thick, 4c hair, and have around 7-9 inches of hair when stretched. In addition, I have a BIG ASS forehead and want to have enough locs to where it doesn’t show as much as it does here. I have a lot of hair and (as far as I know) there are plenty of people with the hairstyle I want, with around the same length of hair. The picture is my hair now. Does anybody have recommendations to what style I should do for my two strand locs?

I can already see the characters I’d use these styles for
