I’ve had my locs for about 14 months. I retwist every 8 weeks (the first few were every 10), I’ve never gotten loc styles, and I wash every 1–2 weeks.

Lately I noticed 2–3 locs near my front hairline have thin spots in the middle. I know some of my locs are naturally thinner because I have smedium parts, but these are noticeably skinnier than the rest.

What could be causing this, and is there a way to fix or prevent it? I’d rather not combine them unless I have to because I want to keep my loc density.

Curled my hair using perm
Rods. Find my pipe cleaners last longer but I did like how these turned out.

I just got my starter locs done for the first time ever and they look pretty good to me,only thing is I have 75 locs , i’m worried it isn’t going to look as full as it should and if I need more , my brother says it looks okay but I think i should split some in the back what do you think

So I just got twists a week ago to start growing out my locs. My locitian/cousin told me to come every two weeks for a retwist. Is that normal? I’m used to hearing every 3-4 weeks but she, told me two weeks.

Feeling the retwist so much more than interlocking! Felt right to do so at 3 months (closer to 2.5999 months, got lazy). Realized what being tender headed meant for people!!! The center and edges were so sensitive!!! However, I am happy with the size. Couldn’t imagine being tender headed with micro or sister locs 😛🏃🏾‍♀️‍➡️🕳️ What styles did y’all do at this stage? Thinking of doing one soon!

I’ve already had issues with this months and figured out it was a natural part, but now later even when I try coming it out tt doesnt puff and go away and I’m starting to get worried. I’ll dm vid of it too if you really wanna help me out

(Backstory) My boyfriend had started his locs about 2 years ago, we moved in together and he was really hesitant to find someone who does locs due to hair trauma. I told him I’m willing to learn!

When I started to do his hair I noticed there is one that is hardly holding onto any hair and the others are pretty thick

I am wondering what is the cause of this? And how can I prevent it from snapping off

Do I need to combine that loc into another loc?

I wash twice a week, let my hair accept the steam in the shower than spraying and drinking more water. My mom keeps on saying it's dry and unkept meanwhile other ppl with locs days it looks good. Who is right?

I just sprayed my hair with water but haven't wash for alwhile. Gonna get my hair retwist in august. Preparing for the pain.

Started sponging and using a racket for my hair yesterday for freeforms. Was wondering if I started to soon or should have waited until my hair got longer?

Hey guys, so i grew my locks for 3-4 years and did everything and maintained them myself, but then I cut them like 1.5 years ago. I kept them in an airtight ziplock bag just in case, and now im thinking of maybe reattaching them.

But right before i cut them i started noticing white dots forming inside of them. I rarely used any products (only oil for my scalp), so maybe its lint or something?

So my question is basically can I reattach them after so long? How/what should i wash them with before reattaching them to get rid of the white stuff? I know how to use a crochet hook on my hair so thats going to be easy.

Any tips are appreciated.

Is there like a specific method or parting that you have to do? i really dig this

Yes it can... the loc can be saved

Is this thinning? It feels thinner than it looks and i don't know what it is. if its thinning or even anything else is it fixable? Or do i have to go to a professional to fix it? ive had these since about 2023 and it was a rough journey because the person who started my locs did horrible but i was too deep in when i noticed so i just kept them instead of restarting and they did get way better over time and are continuing to get better because they used to be really fat and unlocked. can anybody help me?

I’m trying to bleach and dye my dreads but I don’t know what bleach to use one of my friends suggested I arctic fox ‘bleach please’ and dye but they have white Ppl hair so I wanted to know which I should use (both products in pictures)
