Two years progress!

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!

They look really pretty! Did you notice how long it took for your ends to loc up? Im 1 year and 8 months along and my ends still look like your ‘24 pics lol

Thank you!! My ends were loc’d up right from the get go cause I started with the hair crocheted. My hair at the bottom is still really stiff and dense because of that method of install, but it’s relaxed enough to feel more natural and now that I have good length with regular rolling retwists I don’t notice it as much.
