I am 11 months in as well and will be a year on the 9th, this weekend. I FORCED myself to wear mine out because I was dependent on weaves and got tired of never feeling pretty without. I also got tired of constantly having to worry about how my hair is going to look. I have been wearing them out at work, but I wear makeup. When I run errands and don't wear makeup I wear headwraps, because like you too, I still can't really feel confident with them in a plain face. Still waiting on them to get a little longer and/or drop for that
I miss my first set of locs too! But with this second set I am toughing it out. I would’ve been 7 years in if I didn’t cut my first set 😢 my second set I am almost 15 months in.
You are sooo beautiful without the makeup and wigs it's not even funny. The fresh faced, puffy roots look is everything on us, I promise. I stopped wearing makeup about a year ago and it wasn't easy bc my skin was the worst it's ever been (mad acne) and my hair was short and still maturing so I didn't have anything to hide behind. I'm glad I did the work to reject societies ideals and my own insecurities even though I still have those days where I'm tempted to put the makeup back on. I just tell myself "this is my face" and keep it moving, it's really helped my self acceptance. I don't even really shave anymore lol. I know your self confidence will continue to grow and grow, don't fret :) also don't ever be afraid to start over with your locs. Mine are super thick in the same exact place as yours and if I were to do it all again I would've made them smaller. Much love ❤
What I learned over the yrs is Locs do not respect perfection. Once I innerstood this, my journey became easier for me. ❤
This is my second set of locs! You are so inspiring. My locs look very similar to yours.
👽👽👽 I love your transparency and honesty, and not sugarcoating anything. You got this sis

When I mention this to people, they think I'm over exaggerating. My hair was the way I expressed myself it really does a number on your confidence.
Missed you fr

Wow, it's really been 11 months? Time flew by, lol. Your hair is growing nicely, and it looks good 🔥
