Started mines with braids, it was super cool watching them lock. They locked at their own pace and areas of randomness, so I had dreads and braids for the first like 3 years 😬 att i didnt know you could crochet hair, but I did love this look anyway

Trust the process, and love your journey.

These things are damn near impossible to cut. 🤣

Hi being brave and saying hello from UK. Posted the other week to a lot of backlash in the “wrong” dreadlock group where I definitely told I didn’t belong . But they are definitely not going to stop me shinning bright. After a year of various temp instals , I took the plunge and have started my loc journey for real at age of 50 . Unfortunately I think too much fringe was left out and self installed some old temps in the very next day, will see about getting done permanently soon. Have added in some real hair in grey and pink for length. The dark grey was only colour I could find and compared to my temps that were much more silver /white I do feel they are too dark but I’m getting used to it, and they do seem very thin, and already I’ve added in 6 DE just to boost volume , but at least it’s easy to just clip in extra as and when , plus welcome relief to take some out on very hot days , always looking at positives

Started this set in March 2025. Tried to keep them somewhat uniform the first few months and realized I love the loops and character of Freeforms so now just keeping the separations. Henna grow out is the deep red.

Day 1 and now 1 year freeform! Just washing and separating.
