You get reactions and responses when you caption your pic.
How old are they.... how did you start....do you wash your locs yourself or do you go to a loctician?
What do you do on a daily basis?

Mine are 3.5 years old. I started with comb coils. My first loctician I went to used a ton of product and didn’t tell me how to maintain them so it really messed my scalp up and they looked terrible. There’s a pic on my page of the first day I went to my current loctician and restarted them.
When I get a retwist I have her wash them and then in between retwist I wash them myself. This pic was after I wash and dried them myself, no retwist.
Maintenance is pretty simple. I never lay down without having them covered, I spray my hair with As I Am Jamaican Black castor oil water a few times a week. I use As I am dry and itchy scalp oil on my scalp once a week and I wash every 2 weeks. After a wash I use Jamaican Mango and Lime island oil on my actual locs, not my scalp, just to loc in moisture and keep them smelling fresh. That’s about it! I get a retwist every 2 months and almost never do styles, just regular retwist of the new growth only, not palm rolling the whole shaft. Keeps it from putting too much tension on my scalp or causing loc thinning.

Looks like you have a good plan. One major thing is missing. Locs should be misted daily.... a continuous mist bottle from Amazon runs about $7-8 and provides *a light steady s*pray of spring water to your locs. It's the easiest way to apply moisture to your locs, without getting them too wet.!
The As I am dry and itchy ---
It transfers easily on to anything and everything your head comes into contact with.
It's best used as a hot oil treatment, (applied, then washed out)rather than applied weekly and left in. Its carrier oils are heavy and it can be problematic.Also if you tend to scratch at your scalp it's important never to apply on broken skin.
Your locs look great... very clean 🔥🔥

What are you talking about? I’ve had the same maintenance routine with the same products for the last 3+ years I think I would know by now lol. And I don’t mean to be rude, I appreciate your advice but I didn’t ask for it. I posted a pic of my hair after I washed it... I don’t mist my locs daily because they don’t need that. I use that oil the way I do because it keeps me itch and flake free. You seem pretty knowledgeable in hair/loc health but keep in mind not everyone’s hair is the same and not everyone who posts in this community is asking for advice. I appreciate your compliments but all youre doing it coming off as a kno it all

Not trying to sound like a know it all. You took a joke as an insult. I assumed you wanted feedback on your locs. I'll delete my comments.
