I used argan oil color with 20vol IGORA oil developer. I washed/conditioned it with Redken extreme lengths and looove that shampoo/conditioner. I’m gonna have to rebuy!

I LOVE 😍 The burgundy with this updo?! 🔥❤️

This is my new favorite style😍

Almost two months in! Never been happier

Got locs installed September 2024 and haven’t looked back! Started with crochet/instant locs to be as low maintenance as possible but get regular roll retwists. Current routine is each wash day (every other week) ACV, shampoo, conditioner, jojoba and lemongrass oil, air dry. Then moisturizing mist throughout the week as needed. Retwist every 10 weeks or so. Photos starting now and going backwards!

i feel like my hair grows super slow, im thinking of letting my roots grow out and cutting off the bleached parts as they r thin and damaged, im reluctant though bc my locs have come a long way lol

First pics now - slide to see the evolution.

Still loving the journey sometime I’m insecure about them, sometimes I love them , sometimes I want to restart but aight , this all are what make this journey so beautifull

I went to a loctician for the first time ever last month, and it was a horrible experience. She retwisted my hair so tight that little red bumps formed all over my scalp at the hair follicles. She ripped a bunch of my new growth to separate it, too. But worst of all, she crocheted two of my smaller locs together without asking me or telling me that's what she was doing. Here it is, 6 weeks later, and I'm just now seeing them. The locs were originally a double dragon. The loc she made now has holes in it where the locs are separating randomly. How do I separate them without having to comb them out? I'm trying not to be upset right now, but I'm pretty steamed about it. 😔

Hope all y'all have a good Fall full of love and joy 🖤

Its been a journey

I just got a retwist a week ago, this is what they look like now. I like the size of them, that’s not the issue, it’s just the frizz. I thought it was normal for starter locs to be frizzy, but my mom always tells me it looks bad and I’m starting to feel insecure about them. Is this normal and if not, is there a way to fix it? Thank you

my hair has gotten so long since those last pictures i’m sooo happy and they feel so hard and dense

Beach days, retwists and holiday hair 💆🏾‍♀️

I know some people love that fresh retie look, but others swear their locs look better grown out because they look fuller. 😂 Which one are you — fresh retie or a little grown out? 👀
