    I’m 2 months in on my 2nd set. I had to cut my 1st set out bc of health issues. Everyone keeps asking me why I won’t wear a wig until it grows out, but it doesn’t bother me. Even when it sticks up all over the place I’m cool with it. It seems to upset family & friends more than me. I just roll with it.

      Aw wow ! I hope all is well with you now . I know that must’ve been tough letting go of that 1st set . Yeah its really crazy how our personal decisions with our hair seem to rub others the wrong way 🤷🏽‍♀️. This journey is so much deeper than hair because it teaches you how to love yourself deeper than surface level qualities and such . Im really happy you decided to get another set ❤️

      Thanks, I’m much better now🥳. I had my first set for 6 years and I started them on chin length hair. This set I I’ve only been growing my hair out for 5 months from being bald, so it’s pretty short. They way it looks doesn’t bother me bc I’m just happy that my hair actually grew back & that it’s strong and healthy🙏🏽. I’m definitely learning patience, and also gratitude. I’m grateful to be able to Loc again. I also have been through the Loc journey before, so I know what’s waiting on the other side😍.

    I'm currently going through the transition phase and I had times where I felt like this was not for me but after watching a few videos and especially coming across yours I know this is just what I needed. Love the tips and hacks. Thank you so much and wishing you the best on your loc journey :)

    i keep doing this thing where i take my locs out before i hit my 1 year mark. i’ve had different set of locs 4 times now starting from when i was 14 all the way up to now, (i’m 16). my last set was 9 months old when i took them out. I really just need to stay consistent this time for real!
