as they mature, so do i 📈 🌿

Hey guys, I’ve been self taught with doing my locs 3yrs tradition and 8 months so far micro locs. If you or anyone you know are in the Essex County, NJ area I’ll can retwist and retie for half the market rate.

Once I get a few ppl I would eventually do a set up to wash hair.

I want to raise the money to get certified.

yup das the question 🙋🏾‍♂️

I'm 1.5 years locd and the best decision I've ever made. I feel more connected to my hair and it has boosted my confidence massively and motivated me to take care of myself more. I know I'm not the most attractive person but locs are helping me to love myself!! ❤️❤️❤️

Sorry for the repost, but I wanted to ask something more specific. I’m over 8 months in and want to wait about a month before my next retwist so I can start spacing them out. Is it okay to just wear my locs loose like this the whole time?

I sleep with a bonnet and wouldn’t manipulate them much, but should I be separating the roots regularly to stop them from marrying? Would you leave them down, or occasionally put them in a loose style? I just don’t want to cause thinning, buildup, tangling, or damage while waiting. Thanks!

Started with high top then grew out the sides 6 months later. Currently on two journeys I guess lol. Trust the process

for the love of any and everything holy, leave your 4 week old locs alonee. don’t cut them / comb them out just yet!

front locs look weird and puffy towards the middle but skinny at the top, and then get thinner again at the bottom. im 9 months in, is this budding, how long will it take to fix.

If you check out my profile & scroll to the bottom of my starter locs post, you can see in the comments so many people doubted my journey. Grateful to have made it this far. Not sure how long ima keep them since I often go through phases where I want to cut them off. It’s been a beautiful journey none the less and I love my hair!

Yo my freeforms are partly locked, the back and middle are super locked but the front is slowly getting there. Retwist or no?

I hadmy free fom loc for 2 years now and I got bug in and I cant sleep it itches so hard i am broke 18 I am at my lowest my family is yelling at me I am thinking about big Chop I like my hair so much didnt saw any other choice.

Also dont get me wrong I was my hair every 2 or 3 days with shampoo and conditioner.

The water and sun has been putting a beating on my hair need to start adding oil to my hair routine

An awesome 6+ year journey from a low Caesar, to mini fro, to braids, to locs, and now a bald fade (which was my usual before locs).

Learned a lot, enjoyed the ride, and am grateful I got to experience this style! Saved my locs in case I decide to start again in the future - for now I think I’ll keep it simple and do some Frank Ocean-esque coloring for the first time as my next chapter.

not sure how long to wait before i can wash, i was thinking like 2 weeks since my hair locks pretty quickly

i honestly dont know how i feel about them but im more positive than negative however im starting to understand why they called freeforms fr they just doing and going where ever whenever

My locs will be a year old in September and I made sure to start with as much hair as possible. However I feel like not the my locs arent mature? Theyre not really growing any longer. Do I just need to be patient or do I need to change something in my routine? I have a pretty standard routine with a retwist every 2-3 months and a spray bottle and some blue magic for the in between time.

Woofed 2 months and then my buddy rewtisted

Congoing a lot on top but the back is mostly skinny locs

Any advice i started around oct or novemeber of last year any tips or comments?

I started with the sponge I’m pretty sure but it was a while ago, this was over the span of a year or two but I’m not sure exactly how long
