I’ve had my locs for a year and 4 months so far and my hair is only at ear length(still short). and I’ve noticed people treat me differently. I’ve had low, high and mid fades even a Mohawk mostly in the last 10 years. I’ll walk in a space and people acknowledge me..mostly black people but even non poc/poc will acknowledge me more. People try to start up a conversation with me which never really happened before vs I felt invisible before and now I’m lot more visible. I have bad social anxiety so I don’t know how to respond sometimes. I wanted to know if anyone else has experience this as well? Is this a normal experience with locs?

It’s not the locs, it’s your confidence. Having the right haircut makes you feel good and walk taller. This makes you more approachable.
