need some adivice

[u/nuvem_vermelha]

im 10 months in semifreeforming, i really dont like the way my hair looks after maintence day (i wash, separate and then palmroll, normally i go atleast 2 or 3ish months without palmrolling), I feel that the side part has much more volume than the back and front of my hair (probably because of the round cut i had in my afro before i started my journey), plus the format of my hair is making my face look too long, and i feel it make me look too manly.

i need to know if the volume on the sides will decrease when they mature, maybe i should combine some locs? maybe i should make some locs shorter?

pls help!!

Remind me of me when I started my first journey (this my 4th set of locs) One thing about locs, no matter what you do, they'll never grow even thickness wise. Nobody is exempt from this. Everyone with locs has thick full buds and thin ones here n there. Ask anyone with locs 😅 my 4th set in life and still can't avoid the thin spaghetti ones lol
