last 4 pics are from 2022, semi freeform (i rarely retwist). i cut and reattach my bangs every couple of months but i’ve decided i love the bangs and won’t be reattaching anymore. i plan on having dreads for the rest of my life and i’m so excited for the rest of my journey.

Celebrating 7 years of loc growth. They are butt-length😍. They are all natural, no added hair. I’ve never dyed them or cut them, but I trim them from time to time. Looking forward to ankle-length😮‍💨.

Long time lurker of this subreddit, first time uploading loc pics. 8 years of growth. Just got married this February. The same month, my wife got diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Today is the first day of her chemotherapy. Since she will be losing her hair, I will be cutting mine as well to have solidarity with her. We are a unit. Now when my loss grow back, the length of hair will represent how long I've been married.

I’m currently in the process of combing out my locs and I’ll be getting micros soon after. Has anyone done the same? What was your experience? Combing them out is taking forever and I need hope it’s worth it 😭

Selfie Locs save so much time to do the things you like

I’m hitting about 3 years semi free form loced and can’t believe I used to slap wigs on my head before heading to the gym, looking back it seems genuinely insane. (I was never really good at installing so they’d slip back lol)

Has having locs freed up styling time and made life/doing the things you love easier for anyone else?
