    Honestly, you can't tell which locs were combined. That's just how good your stitch work & grid layout is. Your Locs have grown beautifully over the past 2.5yrs. It's been a joy following you along this journey ❤️

    Congrats!! There is saying where I live "what eye don't see, heart don't grieve", and that describes why you don't care about buildup at the nape.😀.
    Girl. I think you've got the best kept locs around. Your grid is still super clean and the locs have very little frizz and are so even sized. I could sit and admire the beauty all day. Gorgeous 🥰🥰

    Your locs are beautiful! My loctitian mentioned that I had a lot of lint in the back. She said not to worry about it and that I would dye it!! I asked her to dye it but she said, girl, you can do it yourself! I love her. She empowers me to take care of the things that I can myself! She's amazing!
