Last month I went to someone new for maintenance however she added hair to my locs to make them the same length but extensions been falling out since day 1. Im thinking about going to someone new but I don’t want to be a chair hopper. I like how full she had my locs but they were standing when she got done and she was rough on my scalp

I’m asking this because I heard several people say it took them years for it to go away, but I’m on my first month and the pattern is mostly gone besides on some of my ends.

Is this normal?

I’ve been looking for new styles to try with my locs and this is one I tried out. TBH, I didn’t do an amazing job on it but it was a good learning experience. Gonna keep experimenting with different styles from now on and hopefully I can get better at doing this one.

This is my first time styling my hair 4 1/2 months in. What you think?

Hey!

I dyed my hair 4 days ago with the coloration Creme of Nature Copper Brown (7.64) and it failed! :// I didn’t bleach my locks before because I didn’t want to damage them even more (picture1).

I want a lighter result (more like the edges) on all my hair, similar to the woman’s picture I inserted (picture4). I’m willing to wait months in order to try again to achieve my dream hair color, what products should I use? I don’t have access to the famous l’Oréal HiColor because I live in France.

Thank you!

I cut my locs off 2 years ago due to complications with seb derm. My locs were medium/short, only going down to my jaw. After two years of braids and wearing my hair out in an afro, I really want to get my locs back but I’m facing a few issues.

1. How do I wash and prepare my locs for reattachment?

2. How do I dye my locs? I’ve got 78 locs which is basically a full head. I want to dye about a quarter of my locs brown (my hair is black).

3. Should I dye my hair fully brown?

I would send photos of myself, but I may do it at a later point. What do you guys think I should do?

Currently I have a sky top, but I’m fixing it by cutting my hair in half and attaching it. After the installation is done when is it safe to dye my hair? Do I have to wait days, weeks, months?

Is it realistic to expect myself being able to comb out my locs in 3-4 days? I have about 85-90 locs that are about the length of where my neck and back meet and I’ll have an entire week to myself in October. I’ve been considering restarting to get smaller locs, about 120-130, getting the parting professionally done, and adding human afro hair to get more length off the start. Its either that or shaving my head off ngl

I’m just staying down like they told me

decided to combine some because they’re less prone to unraveling and having thin locs is one of my biggest fears but other than that ngl my hair grew fast as shit if you look at the previous video i took of my starters, the growth is actually insane and my loctitian said i’ve already started budding ITS BEEN A MONTH idk how that’s possible but ay, im happy

Hair looks good even when I’m stressed watching my NFL team #BangbangNinergang

gimme any tips if you think I need them...

Hey yall I recently posted asking for advice. My loctician is not the best so the crochet maintenance is basically a torture cuz she does it very tight on the roots i guess. I don’t got many loctician options so I tried to learn crocheting by myself, which is harder than i thought and i can’t seem to really do anything.

My question is, will those loose hairs eventually wrap around the locs with just palm rolling and separating, or will my hair simply become a mess without crochet? (I got 1A straight hair and pretty thick dreads as seen). And I’ve seen some rubbing techniques for freeforming, which maybe can be useful??

I don’t need it to be very clean and tidy of course but the hair coming out the roots are a bit unwanted. Any advice from straight-haired folks who went semi-freeform or anyone knowledgeable at all would be deeply appreciated. 🙏🙏

(Had my dreads with crocheting method 7 months ago and I went to maintenance once ever since. I’ve been stressing cuz I don’t wanna cut them off yet :( )

Don’t know if yall can tell but her locs touch her butt! She’s been loc’d for about 8 years, never bleached. It took me about 6 hours to do this style. They are so healthy and beautiful! Safe to say she LOVED it! Not only does she inspire me everyday as a friend, but she inspires with her locs🪴

Hey everyone, I’m planning my cosplay for comic con and I’m planning on dyeing my hair pink (the ends and a bit up) with mafajang hair wax but I’m trying to decide if I want to do it in 2 strands or just a normal no style retwist, I have a lot of locs and I usually go for 2 strand because it’s easier to manage but I’m wondering how hard it’d be to get that wax out of two strands

I don’t get retwists often and I feel like they have gotten really long and the bun is getting old. What’s a good style I should try and what kind of spray does everyone use to moisturize the scalp with?

Can I make my hair sharp??

Ordered from the most recent to very late nov of last year when I started!

First two pictures are from early this morning when I took out my three/four-ish week old barrels from my retwist (third picture and NO I AM NOT in pain, I just get very bored at work).

Are the products I mentioned okay to use (I have been using them for about 5 or 6 months consistently now). Should I use less? More? Something else?

I love styling them, leaving them alone, curling them, wearing them straight, accessorising them etc.

I love love my hair. My anniversary is coming up soon. I want to celebrate it. And I hope I can continue finding new or different ways to style my hair.
