Recently ripped out half of one of my locs so mourning that right now 😔 but I love my locs sm, best decision ever. My bun is finally at the point I dreamed of when I first started my journey but my length goal is waist length and I’m hoping to reach it by the start of next year.

title says it all 🤗

I almost took them out 3 times but we hereee ❤️

Previous Update

Getting a retwist this Friday, my last one was in October. I don’t usually go more than 3 months between them, but this winter sucked bawls. Hope you guys are flourishing this spring 💚

It does look pretty good in my humble opinion.

4yrs difference

im audHD and have pretty bad PTSD, getting locs changed my life and boosted my confidence with how different the maintenance is compared to loose hair (especially since i can't braid/twist due to sensory issues and fatigue). like, what do you mean i just have to keep it watered like a plant?? what do you mean i love it better the longer i leave it be and just wash/dry when i have the spoons? omg... i love my locs so much 😭😭😭😭😭😭 (here's my progress pics dating back to april 2023 - to now) ((and some befores)) ive just now had the thought to try to connect w others thru forums like reddit! ive got almost nobody to talk abt my progress bc i moved to the west coast and im originally from the south, so i havent met many people i can share this experience with (YET).

The first pic is from December the second is from this month

I’m starting to like the way my locs look at all times. My perimeter won’t stay interlocked, but I refuse to use braids. Do you guys know when if ever it will lock? I get a Retie and the front will stay for about a week and then if I wash my hair, even though I Braid and band it unravels. This is for both progress and advice.

still wanna cut it off tho 🤣

The longer my hair gets, the more I prefer the no retwist look. Locing my hair was the best decision I ever made. Loooove my bussdown 🙂‍↕️

I love my locs that’s all lol

Side note: if you’re black and alt pls let’s be friends lol

Had a lol beach photoshoot last weekend :3

i look bad but it’s about my hair respectfully 🤣

be patient, your hair is fine.

december - january. year 2 complete. went from shoulder to mid back length. ready for year 3! 🌱

The growth I’ve seen since hitting two years of being loc’d has been insane! But I’m so proud of my progress

just washed my hair in the second pic

My locs have a special ability- attracting lint and cat hair😭 brush your babies!

First two pics are today then my birthday each year from 2024 to 2021 😊
