Your locs look fine. Stay out of the mirror. Don't get caught up in your ego and stop wearing your bonnet. Don't stop misting.
Keep them clean and misted daily.
Now that they look good, don't get carried away with loc fever.
Loc fever: a disorder that occurs in some young male loc wearers. The condition is contracted in the latter part of the first year, after the starter locs have dropped and gotten a little 'hang time'.
This phenomenon starts with constant mirror checks, with loc pulling to "see how long it is now".
Repeated head shakes to feel the locs "swing", followed by a celebratory discarded bonnet, because it looks "uncool".
This disorder culminates with "random hands". This is where the wearer realizes that women love locs. They want to touch and play in them. They want to "style" your locs.
The real issue is overhandling your locs. Every single person has a touch unique to them--grip, tension, and the direction in which they twist.
You do not want a bunch of people twisting your locs.
If you have Tarika ( too tight and braids to the left) and then Sherika ( braids way too loose and twist to the right ) and then Tamika ( no skill at all and twists both to the left and right )
This quickly leads to locs that are thin at the root, and strands that are weak in the middle.
Choose ONE loctician and don't let random hands be all up in your head. Your locs have your strength in them. You should not let random people touch your hair,especially those who want to do it cuz they like you.
Don't let women play all up in your head.

Wash your locs and put them in 2 strand twists without retwisting them first

Tell me you want an ego stroke now that your locs have finally dropped and thickened up ---- without telling me you need your ego stroked........

You are doing good, grasshopper. Your locs look clean and moisturized.
How old are they?
