What a journey it has been.

also tried to post this like 2 times and Reddit deleted so ? We’ll see if this one stays up haha

Loving the journey yall! The thickness, part size, and length... I'm just obsessed lol.

I cant wait to try a style at my next retwist appt, I'm so ready.

before blonde pics and after to the locs fallout pic 😢😢😢

locs on top of head came out one by one

I look like the 3 stooges no locs on top and locs on side and back LAST PICTURE

locs ONLY ON TOP literally jumped off my head and slept individually on my pillow. Hmm 😳😳😳

I used a color rinse . I can see top of my head better so of course I saturated the rinse more on top of my head

I know the rinse color dye and not enough moisture and 8 hours under a hard hat(female) did the damage

My hair turned grey I panicked Starting color rinsing

Now I m wigging it or wrapping with a hair scarf Worst MISTAKE EVER

IM NOT CUTTING OTHER LOCS OUT I let them hang out scarf so ppl see I have locs without seeing the damage I JUST MOISTURIZING AND Hope it grows back

But my experience taught me love my God given hair color

Any suggestions I called my Loctician I guess she book cause she hasn’t responded it’s been over 3 months

I never grew my hair out for trend reasons. Just moreso as a promise to myself to just never get haircuts. Right this very moment I have a very strong desire to see what my hair might be like if I can comb it even if I lose some of my progress.

What keeps you in check from acting on that?

5 years in

feels like I just started but it's already been 3 years! it's been a great journey through all the styles and learning how to handle my hair. I'm now thinking about trimming down a bit and I'm not even sure where to start. do people usually go to their loctician to cut? My plan was never to grow my hair super long, but I'm getting to the point where it's difficult to wear wigs (i cosplay a lot) any advice or suggestions?

L-R: After my retwist and before my retwist

I'd like to dye my hair without bleaching it. I'd like to use a colored shampoo or something similar, a product I can use at home that isn't too invasive. I would like to dye them dark green or dark blue, or light brown.

Thank you

I had this locs for almost 3 years now and I'm thinking of restarting to microlocs. is it doable with my hair type and what expectations should I set?

Did finger coils to start then had them palm rolled. Thoughts?

Any tips on how to maintain and moisturize would be great

been doing the freeform thing for a few years and the centre of my head is looking like this. Should I just let it grow out or start again?

That blonde style with that shade of brown is calling my name icl🙏🏾😭

i started my journey a week ago and im finding a hard time finding a good product (i have limited options) and im wondering if this is a good option or not
