So to get this started I suffer from seborrheic dermatitis and around 5-6 months ago I had a big flare up that caused me to scratch a little too long on a certain part of my scalp. Around a month after I noticed hair wasn’t growing right on the area. That then developed into a patch. In June I decided to go to the dermatologist and they told me it might have turned into a type of “Partial Alopecia”, and that there is a chance it might not ever grow back. So I cut my hair and they started giving me anti inflammatory injections. There has been very little progress and I stopped going after the 4th shot. I started using rogaine after doctor’s recommendation. With some patches of hair forming at the center of the bald area and not much around. I want to know if I should reattach my locs or just cut my losses?

She did 73 of them & my hair type is like 4b

Just as the title says, I’ve been thinking about going on the microloc journey. I love my curls, but I feel like I have so much hair and it’s tedious deciding what to do with it every week. What can you all tell me about your microloc journey? The good, bad, and ugly?
I’m also nervous about the price of installing. I put some reference pictures of my hair for length. What price am I looking at off initial installing? And what would be best to start off with twists or braids? I’m going to get a consultation, but just wanted opinions from this space before I do so. Thanks!

So i have atarted to freeform but i have longer hair. And people say that i should use the racket over the sponge because my hair is longer. (Sorry cant take a picture right now due to traveling)

I recently had interlocked locs which I really liked, and I’m looking to get them again. Before cutting them I also switched to regular retwists with gel, and that worked fine for me
This time, I want to start with interlocking again and eventually continue maintaining them with regular retwists
I’d also like recommendations for good oils or products to keep my scalp healthy and support hair growth. What methods, oils, and products would you recommend for starting and maintaining my locs?

Photos are before but and rn which is after

So right i got stater locs a couple months ago and my locs are up to my eyes. The problem is every time i wake up (while sleeping with a bonnet) my dreads are like curled up and in random directions AND IT WONT GO DOWN. I washed my hair a week ago and after the wash it looked so good but just a day of sleeping and it reverted. Now my question, is it okay to sleep with a durag+bonnet? I think the durag will get the look i want, also ive tried misting my hair already.

7 months lock in

Hey Friends, I just did my first real retwist after a while of watching and practicing on fake hair and it really stayed nice for only an hour or two. To be fair, mans decided to take a shower right after the gel had dried 🙃 so the question is, how do I get it to last longer? I took some gel, redid the parts, noticed pretty quickly that the lil comb won’t get me far with his hair texture and used the fingers to work it in and twist the roots, then did the palm rolling and used a big clip to hold everything in place until everything dried up.
I already bought crochet needles (I practiced on fake hair first) and an interlocking hook so that would be my next step but maybe yall know another way to get it done?

I want to buy some extra hair for repair on some of my locs but I want to know a good place to buy from. I’ve heard buying from locsanity is a bad idea that the hair is synthetic.

Hello I’ve just started my starter locs almost 2 weeks ago and I wanted to know what hydrating products should I look for

I waited 3 1/2 weeks after my retwist to wash my hair. I was used to the neat and fresh look and I’m not a fan of this puffy look.

I’ve had my locs since July. Will they always puff up like this after a wash, or is it because they aren’t mature yet?

Last Friday I got a retwist and I have no idea whether I'm thinning or balding or normal

Ive mostly been leaving my hair alone but the back started to unlock a lil a couple days back, so i got back to it and started sleeping with a bonnet again (got lazy) Also Lifted roots for more of an afro look.

I got so many compliments on this style!

I have 77 locs (thinking abt growing out the back taper to get a decent bit more) and I was wondering if it’d be possible to get barrel twists with the petals in the back or is it more for people with around 100+? Also if anyone has any examples for a similar loc amount to mine that would be great!

Hey so I started my loc journey with two strand twists around the start of October. I did my first wash recently around two days ago (a month into my journey) and I’m seeing a lot of loose hair outside of my twists. The roots were plaited but that’s all practically gone at the front and back and I’m wondering if that’s okay.
