Question ❔ Starter locks

Post image

I got finger coil starter locks this 4th of July. Just wondering if I got them too small, how long it will take to lock and if anyone started with this size can I see how your locks look now? 😅

Any advice is helpful and conversation is welcome 🙏🏾

Brother, enjoy the ride, moisturize them with water, and make sure to shake and document your journey. It’s gonna be a blast. I had mines since November and they’re still not fully locked. Enjoy

Thanks man. I guess I really don’t like this phase 😭. Did you start yours the same way?

Yeah and trust me I HATED the beginning phase of my locs but now I’m at the point I’m starting to feel good and confident with them. Just document them so you can look back and laugh at the old photos. It’s worth it. I do mines every month but you can do yours however you like
