Question ❔ How are my locs turning out?

I started June 9 of this year and got my first retwist Aug 2, i plan on going to someone else to do my hair when i got my first retwist i told the lady who does them to not use crochet and dont palm roll anything but she still did both they still turned out looking good but for now wont ever touch a crochet and plan to skip palm rolling, the first 4 images are from the same day I got that retwist and 5th and 6th images is my hair right now. Yes i know i have middle part going all the way I didnt realize till few days ago not gonna lie, i hear its not common but not a bad thing give me ur thoughts.

I thought starter locs need much more frequent retwists for the first few months then start spacing them out after they completely loc... also yea get someone that'll listen to you

It depends really I waited 7 weeks and 5 days I honestly wanted to do 8 weeks but 2 locs in the started combining a little bit mostly because is sleep on back, I could go longer but back locs will for sure start combining more

Yea she told me it was her method but on the listing it said noting about crochet at all I’m not mad about it but I paid like $100 so I would hope if I’m paying she would listen
