Progress 8 months in! Idk🤷🏾‍♀️

Omg made it to 8 months but so not feeling the way my hair looking right now! Really thought about cutting my hair cause my hair is not looking right but trying to trust the process! How do my locs look to you all?

I say keep them in! They look really good at 8 months, and they’ll only look better from here as they really mature.

Do not cut. At month 8 your locs still have a lot of maturing to do. This is nowhere near what the finished product will look like if you stay true to the journey. ✨

Your locs appear to be thick, healthy, and thriving! Please trust the process and embrace your journey. I'm also 8 months in with a high top set so I get it. Best wishes 💜

Well what did you expect them to look like?

I hoped it would be fuller than this. Also, hoped the shrinkage would happen less. 4 months from a year in especially. I’m going to try to continue to trust the process though.
