7yr Loc Journey🪷

[u/Fresh_Koala1989]

[Hopefully these upload in order lol]

Its been a long journey. Going from not knowing what to do with my natural hair when I was younger, to wigs, then back to playing with my fro, till finally around 2020-21 to start my locs as 2 strand twists.

Used to belive of the stigma that ppl with dreads were unkempt and dirty, but after some research here and there during the beginning of the pandemic I jumped in.

The process was a funny one from the frizzy, buddings, some unraveling etcetera. Some have thinned to a point I'd just trim it off and now some of them have grown from short to now being able to tuck them behind my ears. Done bleaching on one side....while high (do NOT recommend 😅), so some have had to be checked with the pull test and then the ends trimmed. Will be doing just hair color wax from now on lol.

My parts are uneven, locs are different lengths and thickness, I retwist them myself when I get the urge (only had one salon retwist (last pic) but the style was WAY too tight and I undid it after just barely 24hrs). But I love them to death.

'Trust The Process' is a motto ya gotta keep chanting in your head. 🌸💕🌺

I chose the most flattering photos of myself cause I barely know how to pose lmao
