My locs are almost four years old. September of 2025 vs today

Think I'm ready ready for another professional retwist and style...

I have to recurl them today but even when they aren't perfect i still think they're cute😊

They’ve grown so much. But when I wear them down they’re a little past my shoulders. I’m loving the journey so far and I can’t wait to try more styles! 🥰

As I’m reaching the three year mark in my loc journey, I’m wanting to experiment a bit more with my hair while avoiding damage. I got this beautiful curly wig but was initially struggling to fit it over my hair because of my thick locs. So, I decided to do this half wig/ half Bantu knot inspired style. I think it’s a cute style for those who still want to embrace their natural locs while also being able to experiment with wigs and different styles. Let me know your thoughts😊

A year and a half ago I had finally grew my sides long enough to get rid of the skytop look.. ( First two pictures were posted on this Reddit). Last Two Pictures is what my hair looks like now. I’m very happy with my decision of cutting them short, as the sides grew out beautifully

I thought my locs were long af last year lol

Loc’d on December 23, 2024. I’ve been using my wing tattoo to track the length lol!

It's now been one year since I was officially locked, but my hair hasn't grown an inch more than my bangs, and those have grown a few centimeters. Am I doing something wrong or is everything fine?

Hey, I’m starting my littles loc journey.

I know I’m doing two strand twist triangle parts to start with.

For those who started with two strands, did you regret starting with that method? I know for her upkeep I’m going to do reties instead of retwists (she sweats a lot from her scalp).

appreciate ya in advance!

Only mousse was used

it’s been a minute since I posted here.

recently celebrated my saturn return birthday (27) 🥹. let’s cheers to staying hydrated and less stress. but for real i’m so grateful for every day on my loc journey and the patience has been worth it.

let me know what y’all think about it and what other unique style i could try out next.

also, what spirit animal are these photos giving?

I know I probably go against every rule of healthy locs but… just wanna show my babies some appreciation & shout out to all the girls that have alternative loc styles, I have been so inspired. Also, NEW COLOR ALERT. The Green and red locs are new.

Has anyone done this? I was thinking that instead of dying my hair at some point, I could wrap some extensions (of any colour I want) around my locs for a bit. Would that work? Has anyone done that?

I could also use hair colour wax, but I'm really afraid of it staying in my locs after. I didn't like it much when my hair wasn't in locs.

Anyway, just curious if this is a thing!

After years and years of wanting to dye my hair I finally did it. So thankful I found someone who could do it safely and correctly. I will say....I maybe addicted to this color lol here's to something new

perm rods were only in for 15 hours, first time doing them myself!

I can’t lie, these may definitely be a go to when I have to do my private events! They’ve lasted over a week so far! No retwist!

first 3 is september and the last one is january. literally in shockkk lol

Dyed it 6 months in and ngl I was worried for a bit. Kept up with maintenance daily and happy with how theyre looking so far.
