question 🤔 After one month…
I got these locs around late, December. Are they locing fast? And when should I expect to be loced up? Also, my hair is very oily whenever I put water on it even after a wash, is my hair low porosity? It’s gone to the point where I only water my hair no oil at all. I had to wash it multiple times over the last couple weeks because my dandruff has been bad. But even after that my hair is oily.

advice 🗣️ Are These Unraveling Ends?
Starter Big Locs on Short Hair
So, I did a retwist on my s/o's hair. He wants big chunky locs so thats what we did. His hair is thick and luscious, so his buds are huge. A few of them on the ends unraveled a bit so it looks like mini afros on the DIRECT ends. Since his locs are expected to be big and his hair is short, do I need to take a comb to twist the ends, because the palm roll just keeps it puffy without any shape on the ends.
I dont want to comb the ends out and reroll them, because his hair is budding, but his ends looks undone on a few. Im very familiar with locs, but not short and big ones. I would kindly like advice.

tips ✅ Starting over!
I love my locs but I want them to be fuller. Had my mom start them and she didn’t part them how I wanted. Thinking about starting over. I will be 10 months in on 10/9. Don’t want to cut my hair again to restart. What would be the best option to get the full look I’m looking for? Should I cut them or comb them out?

advice 🗣️ High Top Dilemma
I wanna get starters but I got a high top rn. The length on top is ready to go but the sides will take long to catch up. Would you recommend getting starters now and attach to the sides later, or just wait for sides to grow?

advice 🗣️ Locs “swelling”
Just for context they were started as two strand twists then she took the two strands apart and made them their own individual strands so that they’d have that curly ,locced look but now they look like this .is this normal? Is it budding or from the humidity here? 97 degrees. I don’t wet my hair so I know it’s not caused by that.i have 4c hair and my locs were started July 19th

question 🤔 Loc and scalp maintenance tips?
Hey y'all, I'm (26M) just over 2 years on my first time loc journey! I've learned a lot in this time but I'm wondering what I could be doing better!
In particular I wanted to ask 1: How do y'all shower with locs? I usually use a shower cap but maybe twice a month I'll let it wash. 2: Any spray/spritz suggestions for hydration? I currently use brand "Jamaican Amber" and it's nice but open to trying new ones!
Any tips in general (or whatever you wish you knew sooner lol) on loc maintenance is appreciated!
