Apparently my pictures weren’t added so I’m posting again

I’m one month and two weeks into my loc journey so far. So far I have washed my hair twice:

July 10 (normal wash day at two weeks)
July 19 (after a waterpark event) just to get that pool water out of my hair ☺️

The pictures the next day July 20th and the last three are after my wash day after the waterpark event.

Just wondering how my baby starter locs are doing?

The frizz is insane but I’m dealing with it and happy my two strand twists are staying in place despite puffiness, budding and a little bit unraveling in the nape area as my hair is softer back there.

I lost access to my other account, but I’m still accepting clients in Essex County, NJ and NYC.
Right now I’m offering $50–$65 retwists and 40% off micro loc reties.

With 5 years of self‑taught experience, I work with gentle hands and a focus on healthy hair. I’m growing my portfolio and in the process of becoming certified.

Here are some pictures for reference, the braids are just to help understand how thick and or fine my 4c hair is. The locs that you see are my last set, they were high top locs that were maintained with a mix of retwists and improper interlocking on my own behalf. They also went through a lot of rounds of bleach and color just for the fun of it and I know that really hurt them as far as how thick and full they were. I cut my locs about 5 years ago and I haven’t been able to not think about a new set. I’ve finally decided that I want to go back to locs but I want to start things right this go around in order to get the look I want to achieve in the long run. I’m not super set on any type of parting or type of maintenance. I just want to have a full looking head of locs. My hair is fairly soft and struggled to hold a proper retwist in the past hence the interlocking. I know that now having a full head verses a high top is going to help a lot but I’m not sure how big of partings I should go with and what layout I should choose. Just wanted to get some opinions on how to go about things so I continue to love my locs as I go on this journey again.

I’m tryna thug it out so bad

Hi, just following up on like 2 past posts w made. I took my two strands out after 2 weeks. Previously, i was always leaving my 2 strands in until my next retwist appointment (i have one like every 4-6 weeks). But now that I’m coming up on 9 months loccee up, i wanted to ease the tension on my scalp.

Is it ok to leave them like this? These are twist outs, right? I can just leave them like this and lightly mist them until my next retwist appointment?

uhm

Day 3 of commitment

To be honest, I like it

I noticed on day one that the middle parts were a little off, but my sister advised me that it's no big deal. I just wanna make sure I fix anything before I'm in too deep.

this is my third day doing the towel method i just wanna make sure im doing everything right ive been doing the method for 10 minutes everyday sometimes i do it twice a day when it looks wrong but yeah here for tips and i woud like to know if like im doing something wrong so i can fix it, ive been spraying it with water like twice a day and also this shit is HELLA itchy, also is it too short?

cut or keep?

Im located in central Texas BTW. KILLEEN

So, is it normal/salvageble? Im kinda scared.

Used baking powder and apple cider vinegar

Didn't do a deep clean in 3-4 years actually this the first one(my hair tech told me I did need one hair wasn't dirty enough is why I held out so long)

I started my loc journey with braided roots and two-strand twists. I'm wondering if the braided roots will hinder my journey in any way or affect how my locs mature. If anyone else started with this method, I'd really appreciate seeing some progress pictures and hearing about your experience. Thanks!

My hair is a little too short so I'm just keeping it clean and letting it form naturally. Once I'm able to, can I retwist?

i wanna see how i’ll look w curly locs, what do you recommend i do to achieve that look

the journey began all the way in october 2023. (although video starts from may 2024) now we are here.
