I’ve always began with clean, well conditioned hair. ( Despite my many people’s belief, dirt makes your hair grow or helps your hair loc. I have used three similar methods all involved parting hair into squares, diamonds or freestyle part.. and begin twisting. natural hair within that “square”. You can single strand twist, double strand twist or braid each “square” to single strand twist i use a barber’s comb since it is the smallest tooth comb available & Will set up the tightest coil available.
