    He definitely spitting bout loc dismorphia. I started mine back in may of this year. I hated how they looked and was tempted to cut em and start over like late October. Random strangers started telling that they looked good and I should thug it out. Got a retwist early November and been in love wit em since 😂😂😂

    Naw the loc dysmorphia is real. I started mines in October. I started with 2 strand twists. Everyday was a struggle 😂 i wanted to cut mines so bad. Day dreaming about the lowcut waves😂 is real. But once you get through the rough days and just rock thru it . Om telling you once u get that retwist.. you be feeling like a brand new man😂. Im on my 3rd month going into my 4 month after January 19th. Its been a long journey i also came from braids/ waves community in so use to haveing a clean look and not my hair hanging and moving 😂 it's a different world bruh 😂 but im starting to like it more and more. Its apart of the process. You wont feel good everyday. Just gotta embrace it and find ways to cope. Trust the Proccess!!!

      Why not get finger coils or two strands twisted. Then come back to braids when you are tired of any styles. That's what I did.. I had locs since I was 6-7 yrs old. Cut them off bec I was tired of them in my 20s. Grew my hair back out. Rocking braids and then I mix it up with other styles.

Thinking of switching it up since I dnt have to get a retwist as after as I’m getting my hair braided. Also I want longer hair and a lot of ppl been telling me locs is the way to go. Gotta make a decision soon while it’s cold out

    If you are in the midst of or starting your locs you HAVE to be prepared to look like a bum periodically for the first year after that it’s kinda smooth sailing. I’m 2 1/2 years deep and each year gets better. Also remember it’s a journey you basically grow with your hair.
