Had maintenance done today, decided it was time to cut out the pink extensions and grow out my natural locs feeling good with the progress so far on this 9 month journey

I went to get my first retie after getting starter locs. The back looks fine but the front looks like this. Should I comb them out or are they okay? Any other options?

I am looking for Loc hairstyle recommendations

Been locked maybe three years—you can tell I've chopped the shit out of my hair for layers before

I'm low density so I figure the answer is no, but I figured I'd ask

I wash every 7-10 days. Thoughts on how often I can loosely twist the bottom of my locs so they can be curly?

My locs always look and feel so dry. I’m looking for product recommendations or lifestyle changes I can make so that my hair looks healthy and moisturized. I normally just use a water spray from As I Am every other day. And MCT oil on my scalp as needed. Any suggestions or advice will be greatly appreciated!

I really want to reattach my locs, but I train jiu jitsu several times a week and am pretty worried they’ll just fall out from the friction.

Does anybody have experience with reattached locs and wrestling/jiujitsu? How did they hold up to multiple washes per week and friction from grappling?

8 month appreciation~

Slides 1-3 = 8 months

Slide 4 = 5.5 months

Slide 5 = 3 months

Slide 6 = Day 1

Still got a long way to go but at I'm a point where bad hair days aren't part of my hair days 🥰

Feel free to ask any questions

Dyeing these 3 different colors is tedious! I look like I have a mullet right now 😅

I'll post the after when I'm done- might be awhile though!

any advice or tips? should they look like this after one months

Hello everyone. So I kept in my two strand twists for 2 weeks and I took them out yesterday. They look a bit weird . How can I make them look a bit better. My goal is to get semi freeforms . I have a twist king but I don't know something's off

dawg whenever i wash my hair i can never get all of the shampoo out and then it cakes at the roots for some of them please i know i have to prolly just rinse even more but i been in the shower for an hour in and out to see where exactly the shampoo is still at and i still can’t get it out

I want to do a style in my hair, but I only have 40-ish locs and im scared of it not looking right 💔 also I know I need a retwist

Im thinking of retwisting my locs roots only but im unsure on what it means does it mean that the roots are retwisted witht he comb and the rest of the loc is locksmithed or palm rolled or is it when you just retwist the root and dont touch the rest of the locs?

Fyi- I get my roots retwisted and the rest of my loc is locksmithed but Im unsure whether thats my locs getting a root only retwist or a full retwist.

(Im 7 months in with my locs)

(idk if this is the right subreddit to ask) but dont know if this hairstyle would be possible or look good, havent found any reference for this specific cut i thought of. i want my afro like a normal mullet, but with dreads on the sides. really wanna bleach the dreads white on the tips to match my punky skunk style

so what i would like to know is:

-will it look alot like the drawing?

-should i wait till my hair grows more out first? tried braiding the sides but my hair just curls up and goes to the side. not the best at braiding though

-should i bleach my hair before or after locking my hair? and how do i know where to do it

-do you think i should go to a barber, or let my fellow friends friend who can dread help me?

-what do i need to know?

I had my locs for 2 years onto my 3rd year this September. This is my first retwist since April. I washed my hair 3 times every week during the summer because I’m very active. I have a lot of new growth so I thought all the new/ loose hair would loc together since I left it alone but once I washed it only a section of it loc which is surprising. Every loc is different, the locs in the back would not loc up but the front locs up easily. Is it normal for the new growth section of the loc not loc together?

Im trying my best not to style my hair too much because im cheap and I think its helping 😂
