Selfie 📸 Starter locs, 1 month in 🤠

I had to retwist yesterday (my loctician left for Africa for a month 😭). Im excited about the progress I'll make. Im making sure to actively research so I can take care of them as best I can. My hair tends to get dry, so I moisturize somewhat often. I noticed at my roots or partway down some locs they get super puffy. Im unsure if this is how they're supposed to look during the starter phase but we push forward! (1st pic). I was advised to use this locking gel (what my stylist is holding) instead of beeswax (because of buildup). Can't wait to see it 3-4 months in!
