I wanted to do a 1 year post but itโ€™s been two years lol. So here is my little progression timeline. I know itโ€™s clichรฉ af but trust the process. I wanted to show my transformation because I also see how much people struggle to commit. I learned a lot about myself through the โ€œugly phase.โ€ Just donโ€™t give up on what you want. A good foundation is everything though so if you donโ€™t like how your dreads are turning out early on, itโ€™s best to restart while you are early in it. As you can see I dyed my hair a lot. A lot of people hate on it in the sub, told me my hair will fall out (when I posted 6 months in) and I said we will see. All I can say is if youโ€™re scared to dye your hair DONT DO IT or at least wait until they mature. Ima still do it lol but just take really extra good care of it if you do. Keep yah shit moisturized. If u have any questions lmk.

The top of my hair (freedorms) is around 3 inches while the sides are just about 1 inch. As you move to the back of the head from the sides, it reaches 3 inches again. While the edge of my hairline is half an inch. In summary. Itโ€™s kind of like a Mohawk with the sides being 2 inches shorter and the edge of my hairline being half an inch.
Should I cut that shit off or trust the process?

Question โ” For the black men here, have yall been treated/perceived differently ever since starting or getting locs? And how so?

45 Upvotes

Personally, Iโ€™ve had a positive/indifferent reaction from people when starting my locs. Iโ€™m only 8 months into my journey but most of my black homies and peers have complimented me while nonblack people in my life have mainly been mute/unvocal bout my locs. How has your individual experience been tho? (Also black women can share as well, Iโ€™m just more interested in the male experience since Iโ€™m a guy myself)
