one year!
this past weekend was my one year loc anniversary! i’d been wanting to loc my hair for so long but in some ways i’m glad i waited to because i would’ve gotten traditional instead of micros lol. i can’t believe its already been a year 🥹
the top photo is april 30 2025 (i diy two stranded twists april 18-19 2025) and the bottom photo is april 19 2026. it rlly was rough those first couple months lol
some facts:
- started with 341 locs and now have 335 due to combining a few
- started with relatively short length 4c hair(not sure exactly what) and now it averages 5.5 inches
- i’ve had 8 retwists in the past year with the most recent one being april 3-4
- i did 4-point interlocking until about the last 3 retwists when i switched to 3-point
