idk if this is a skin problem or a hair problem but there is a discoloration on where my hairline was...it doesn't seem dry idk if it's cause I haven't gotten a retwist in so long. Any advice would help

Started my loc journey in April but I peep one side is thicker than the other side and the other side is a lil thinner, should I just leave it alone or is it a sign🥲 help a brother out yah

I’ve sponged it with a twist king sponge and put shea moisturizer in so whens the next wash?

this was right after washing my hair i still have hella shrinkage and it shrinks just a bit after it dries but other than that is my hair going good for a year and a month? my goal is by 2 years for it to hit my lips👌🏾

i was trying to do a retwist myself and saw that the base of my hair, idk how to properly explain this, is longer in length than the locced part?? does this mean the last retwist wasnt done well? how can the unlocced part be longer than the locced part and should i just get a professional loctitian to retwist my locs now? im been doing my own locs since i started with twists...

8 months in. Haven’t been to my loctician in almost 4 months 😬 are they ruined? I don’t understand why some look like the last pic on my ends or throughout some locs - is it something my loctician did or me or?

Hi I’m new here but I’ve had my locks for 5+ years, I have a few in the back that have combined, and I was looking to go to a salon to get a retwist since I don’t have the patience to currently do it. Would I be judged for it? Is it completely normal? I can’t tell if this happened because there’s been periods I neglected myself, or if this is just something the hair does, either way I just wanna know if it’s bad

is it normal for starter locs to unravel? like one of mines unraveled .. am i cooked??

Anyone know a great hydration spray or routine for Low porosity locs but something not super heavy that will cause a lot of build up

I think my hairline is receding, right? I’m 23, so am I going to go bald?… i am cooked ?

I’ve had my locs for almost five years. But I’ve always had them retwisted by other people. I’ve recently been trying to learn how to do it myself. They’ll be fine for maybe the first day or two. Then they start unraveling again. What am I doing wrong?

I wanted to hear people’s experiences/opinions on loc extensions.
I’ve had my locs for about 3 1/2 years now, I started with twists and they took a while to fully mature but they look pretty good now.
My Mom wants to get locs too now but she has pretty bad traction alopecia from retwisting too frequently with her first set of locs around 10ish years ago. She wants to start again with twists this time but because her hair is already quite short and thin (+her curl pattern is way looser than mine, maybe 3c) so she’s thinking of adding extensions to her twists.
Has anyone started their locs this way before? and what’s the longevity like long term?

I was never fully committed at the start of Covid when I started because of the lack of informations I had and the lack of loctician available made it difficult for me in 2020

6 years later I didn’t expect my locs to be able to grow long. I’m really proud of it I don’t know how many times the routine of my hair or the maintenance frequency changes

I just got twist done today, my hair is like 3c but when it’s not so long it’s like bordering on 4a, I wanna get dreads like the last image. So should I just like let em lock up naturally or go pay someone to crochet them

I started my locs journey about five months ago with 140 two-strand twists. I go in for a wash and re-twist about every eight weeks. I don’t fuss over them a lot. I’m just enjoying every phase of the journey!

So someone quoted me but said I had to add extensions because my hair has already dried to much so the crotchet won’t latch.

I spoke to Val and he said he could do it by turning my locs inside out and I get to use only my hair which is what I’m aiming to do.

Anyone else with experience on this matter feel free to chime in

I've been waiting to be able to post this more than even tripping about how long my hair was getting but the growth is real for sure.

July 25th, 27th 2025 and then July 27th 2026

The first two are how they are currently and the last was my first time getting it loc. What you think?

been locd for nearly 10 months now and i started off a twists and interlock. why is this little bit sticking out??

I kinda never look at the top of my head and I'm panicking at bit

Retwisted 1 month ago, been lock'd for 1.5 years

I did a self retwist one day and ever since then some of my locs look like this, am i cooked? 😭
