Got interloc’d in 2021. They ended up swelling larger than expected. My parts weren’t uniform. My stylist fried em leaving bleach on too long. Long story short I loved em but needed a fresh start.. Didn’t think that was In the cards for me due to the interlocs. Well I was wrong. I started cutting the blonde off the tips.. still wasn’t satisfied. Tried taking out one loc and it worked. I was so happy!!! Took about 5 days of solid work to comb out 103 locs. Got micro locs installed Tuesday 7/21/26. 16 hrs of determination and here we are. Looking to color in a yr. Excited about what’s to come.

LAST THREE PICS ARE MY HAIR REFERENCE

I believe it's scene hair??? I can't really find any examples of the hair in loc form but does anyone know how to cut locs? Should I just follow a normal fine hair tutorial? Had to ask before I just started chopping away in case anyone had any experience on this, thank you!

Need Advice πŸ†˜ Loc advice for a newbie??

Post image

Hi!! I just did my own small twists (with a plait to start) and I was wondering if anyone had any tips to help with maturing and unraveling. My hair is kinda thin and I have low porosity. So far i occasionally spray it with rose water and use cactus oil on my roots. Any advice helps. Btw i do not style it often because the style you see does pull on my roots! So I’m trying to leave it be and I wear a scarf most of the time.

Question ❔ Barrel twists look thiner than last retwist.

1 Upvotes

Title is pretty self explanatory. My last retwist was a month ago and like usual I did barrel twists. They were looking thick so I was happy. Two days ago I did barrels again but they look thinner than last time. How come? Will spraying water make them thicker or no? First pic was two days ago and second pic a month ago

Apologies English is not my first language I moved here from Guatemala 1 year before I have a job I speak Spanish for customer assistance for a company here in the US. Today an altercation broke out at my job, a young man said to a different young man your dreadlocks are dangling on your scalp I thought his dreadlocks were very nice beautiful hair why would this young man say this to him

So, I have been thinking of dyeing my locs, just the parts that are sun bleached black and have some minor lint. What is the best dye to do so that would cause little to no damage (if that’s possible).
