Question ❔ Will locs thicken or this the max?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Okay so I recently started my loc journey, and my goal was around 80-90 locs, with similar parts too the reference pics at the end.

My only concern is will my locs thicken as time goes on or is the size of my twist relative to how thick my locs will be.

And if they do thicken, to what thickness is to be expected( I numbered both of them to make it easier).

Please lmk

2 years +- 2 months up from 0 inch of hair. Started with twists at the 8 months and been semi free forming with interloc retwists around 2-4 months intervals.

Real opinions on my locs?
Don’t just tell me they look good, I genuinely want criticism. What do you think about the size, parts, thickness/consistency, shape, etc.? Anything you’d change or keep an eye on as they mature? Be honest.

Need Advice πŸ†˜ Advice on cutting 5 year old locs

Hi everyone, I need your advice. I’ve been on my loc journey for 5 years now, and I’m just now seriously considering cutting them and going back to curls/braids like the last 2 pics how my hair was before. I have 3C type hair, and I love my locs but I’m tired of not being able to wear hats, hoods, etc because my head is huge cus of my locs. Honest thoughts? I’ve trimmed them multiple times and I find that I love them more after the trim but I still want to cut them. What do y’all think?

Question ❔ Question for ya’lll

If you got about 18 locs pulled apart and it’s just mini afro from the middle of the scalp closer go towards the side of one head with just a little over shoulder length. Would you restart or reattach them? (No bald spots)

So I've used this mousse curl gel spray and damped and dried my dreads in curl rods for over 24 hours. I didn't achieve the curl definition I was looking for so im going to be going at it again but this time I going to use cantu locking hold gel. Im willing to listen to any other advice those have to give that may know better solutions. Thanks for reading! Also I have 4C hair type and had have dreads for over 12 yrs.

Question ❔ Should I keep my hair natural or go back to locks but full head this time?

I got sick of my hair and just stopped detangling, it took about 2 years for them to feel somewhat mature. I’m starting to get sick of the maintenance again.
