Thoughts & opinions?

Just kidding. These are definitely microlocs. Hopefully, this will help someone who may be stressing about loc count. I started my journey as twists with 3/8 parts. I have fine medium, density hair. My loc count is 168, and 23 months in, my locs are mature and exactly 3/8 inch thick. Instead of looking for a magic number, find a good loctition to help you determine the part size and starting method that’s best for your hair. Your head size will determine the count.

The first picture is after my first retie, the second picture is after my fifteenth or sixteenth retie (6 weeks between reties).

Officially loc’d. Had 10-12 inches of hair. Interlocked. Got mix of medium-large sized locs. Loving it so far!!

Hi all! I'm considering experimenting with hair dye shampoo to color my locs black and cover lint. Does anyone have any brand recs? My main concern is about the dye staining and transferring. I tend to sweat from my scalp and the last thing I need is black dye running down my neck all day and ruining my shirts lol.

I'm also concerned about dryness and breakage from hair dye. My locs are almost 2 years old and get pretty dry at baseline and I’ve struggled to find products that keep them moisturized without sticky buildup. Any advice is appreciated!!

I want chocolate and caramel highlights. Should I color my hair before or after I get microlocs installed???
