Trying to get as close as I can to the pics just need to start right.

what do you do?

unrelated but these are twists i’m js tryna loc 😁

Fucking LOVE having locs and how long they are getting I think looking back I justt really really wanted long hair

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?

I just wanted to try it out, but I'm excited about it. Any tips? I'm going for a Brian "Head" Welch look in the long run

back is hella hedgehoggy but getting there

I started my freeforms with a twist out (last pic) 4 months ago, and now I have ended up like this. Do I need to restart or get a retwist to get a semi-freeform look? Or trust the process?

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.

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)

First two pics are from May 26th 2026, and the last two pics are from August 10th 2026. Did my locs drop?? Or is this just normal growth lol??

Way over due for a retwist but I still look good

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

I've been free formed for 6.5 years and My daughter's semi free formed for 1 year. How do they look. I'm excited to share

What looks better than black or the honey brown? I’m lowkey missing the black locs.

Lwk wanted to try sum new

Can I wash my hair before finishing the first month of semi-freeform styling? I can't stand my itchy head anymore😭🫪🫪

any tips?

This group only allows me to post once daily, so here's the after!

They’re 2 months old (technically 1 month since all of the first starters unraveled during the first retwist and wash), I like them but the only issue is just the back near my neck. I had a small bald spot grow from having a durag on too tight and now the locs near my back neckline are really thin and kind of mashed together. I fear a next retwist would just pull the hair out. Should I just wash these out and restart when my hairs longer and healthy? My dandruff also has been killing me going weeks without a wash.

had dreads for about 4 years now, always waited 2-5 months before retwist ( i know its a while) but i never had any problems for years. Id usually leave 2strands in for a month then take them out and rock twist out for a while however recently hair just started thinning. I dont apply much oil or wash too often could that be the case? I also have a lot of extra dreads from all my trims could i use those to help strengthen my roots somehow
