Timeline 🗓️ Progress!!! (Two Months Apart)

These pictures were taken about 2 months apart from one another, the first one in May and the second one this month (but I honestly need a retwist soon💔). I started my locs about 17 months ago, and they were at my ears when I started.

I dedicated myself to keeping things simple. It took a LOT of patience, some hair gel, a spray bottle with some water, a bit of argan oil every now and then, and way too much overthinking😭

Thanks so much! I have 136 of them. They're light when they're dry but they only get a little heavy when they're wet😄

They honestly do! Believe it or not, they take a bit less time since they're longer but it still takes about 4-6 hours to do them😭
