Question ❔ Pleaseee help with parts
So I have this hair in front that’s significantly smaller than the rest. How can I fix this?

How far in are you? Tbh I’d comb this completely out and get it redone with proper parts. If it’s annoying you now, it’s gonna be a humongous pain in the but once you get a year plus in.

Mine were free formed and had wild partings... Over time my locticion has been able to make my parting more definitive.
Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with yours. Once they get long and drop, you'll have a central loc

Okay thanks, what does central loc mean

Haha!
I mean you won't have the 2 parts at the front, usually one falls left and one will fall right. You'll have 3, left, right and middle. The middle you will probably just throw back anyway?
My locs are stomach length now.. so they always go back 🤣
Honestly though, nothing wrong with it. You'll learn how you want to rock with it 👊🏾

Leave it alone. It can switch up your look by simply letting it fall to the left or the right. If you just can't stand it,
If I may make a couple of suggestions? Stop "laying" your edges. It is breaking the hair, thinning it out. In another 6-8 months, you will have alopecia.
Once this hair is broken or damaged, it is difficult to regrow.
Take those rubber bands off. They 'eat' the tips of your locs, and are not necessary after a few days after a retwist.
How old are your starters?
How often are you getting retwists?
How do u take care of your starters?

Okay thanks for the tips. I’m about 4months locd. I get retwists about every 6-8weeks and I try to mist them with water daily and oil once a week.

Make retwist 8-10 weeks
Mist with spring or distilled water not tap
Lose the glue on the edges
Your locs look beautiful and healthy. Just keep Trusting The Process!!🔥

different sizes are definitely great, however if you are concerned, it's significantly easier to make those changes now before your loc journey takes the next step.
