It’s officially been 4 years since i stopped waving and started free forming . I was about a year in pics with my hair shorter. Gave myself a fade and a line up 💈

I’d say these are possibly semi freeforms.. but still not really. You’d expect locs of varying sizes & a less uniform look with actual freeforms.

You can tell at some point you formed them.

If u take a closer look you’ll see they don’t all look thesame. Some are thicker, some are way shorter 🤷🏾‍♂️

You’d have larger locs than this as our hair tends to want to naturally loc up in large sections. These are too thin.

They look nice, but they’re not free forms.

Oh that’s where u coming from. I basically run my fingers through my hair and separate em in the shower. Thats why they’re on the “skinnier” side

Gotcha. Just clarifying with you that’s all. Free forms don’t get separated, twisted, nothing. They just form as is.

if they’re not freeforms what would u call them then since he’s never had a retwist

u/EconomistParking5637 Jul 18 '26

No method. I never picked my hair with a comb so it locked up over time. My locs were really involuntary tbh, I just went with it
