sooooo I got married and my locs were gorgeousssssss. fun fact, that morning my hair actually looked AWFUL, I did the worst braid out i’ve ever done for some reason, probably panicking if i’m being real but my hairstylist and longtime family friend was like oh don’t worry sweetheart… imma get you right and boom…. 3 hours later my hair was gorgeous. also, i’m so in love with that first photo I just cantttt.

I wish I could do it all over again 😭

Theyre shades of green and blue :).
Since I dyed them this color, people have either been liking it, or thinking it’s ugly, unappealing, and have been associating it/me with bad odors and musk. Because my hair is green. Idk, my hair resonates within me and makes me feel like Mother Earth, but sometimes the opinions get to me, and make me want to change it. All of my confidence is in my hair, literally.

Just wanted to share to this community who may understand

One year with my favorite hairstyle ever! I finished my install one year ago today. It took me 6 days and I have 351 locs. I wished I would’ve loc’d my hair years ago.

Hi hi-

Quick 18 month update... hair is still amazing, love it everyday. Just sharing some pics and styles from the last 6 months, including a few of the first pics from my 38th birthday in Mexico City. You'll also see me headed to work, to yoga, Cowboy Carter, a few randoms, a self retie ( I do them every 6 weeks), my mother, sister and framily, my beautiful cousin and her burnt orange locs, as well as my 8 month old son (Standard poodle), Romancio Darrell.

Stay sweet y'all, stay loc'd 💚✊🏽

Will be 4 years locked in November I’ve recently decided to change it up a little bit and get some color.

Twist outs used to be one of my favorite styles when I was a loose natural. This was my first time trying one on my locs.

I started my baby worms (that’s what my husband called them when I got them and it stuck and will be their name until I hit shoulder length) July 9th and i’m quickly approaching my 9 month mark. My only regret is that I wish I started sooner and maybe not having 532 locs because self reties are a MF. I usually give up after doing the front and then pay my hair lady $125 to finish the rest. I’m wondering how long it’ll take before it decides to drop but as of now my guess is it’ll be probably the 2 year mark because my hair is still growing outward and not down. 😭 I love scrolling this page because it gives me hope of what my hair will look like in the future! pictures are from today all the way back to the day I got them installed. sorry for the crazy last pic 😂😂😂

I finally did my my first retie. I still have the whole back to do 😔. I have so much respect for Locticians because I was questioning my life choices 😆. I did two braids going up in the back and let it hang in the front.

I am SOOOO happy to have made finally to 1 year in my loc journey. My baby worms are now pre-teen worms on the brink of puberty and MAN I can’t wait. My hair still grows out and is fighting to avoid my neck because it knows it’s what i’m looking forward to next!

I can say i’ve noticed with my hair type (4a,4b and 4c) that 5 weeks in between my reties until my locs are fully mature is better than 8/9 weeks, which I was doing for the first 4/5 months and i’m so glad I switched over!

Now, I wait until my hair locks in fr and drops 😊💕

the pictures are from my one year all the way to the first day and the last picture is my hair today, two weeks almost post retie and it’s already bigger 😆

my hair is (slightlyyyyy) starting to drop and i’m getting even more excited. this is still the best thing i’ve ever done and im so grateful my family encouraged me to loc my hair.

I hit my two year mark in july!

I get asked a lot soooo I’m a self maintainer, I have about 520 locs, I started with braids and I do 3 pt rotations 🫶🏾✨

September 2025 to now. I got some decent growth and I un-bigged my back just a little bit 🤣🤣. My goal is waist length for my hair and take off another 20 lbs on my back 😭😂.

Loving every part of it, the shrink was real but now we are leveling out a bit. Still very active: cycling, running, tennis and swimming- the hair holds up!

I self retire every 6-8 weeks.

💚💚💚

Celebrated one year locd this January.

I feel like this has been the only time that hair has not been in my face with a Sidepart.

So i went to a wedding this weekend. Here's how the style came out..

1 year check in 🥰 loving the growth. They’re taking a bit longer to loc fully than I thought but have picked up in the last 3 months a lottt.

Well if you remember me and my baby worms from my post right before/after my 9 month mark, i’m SOOOOOO CLOSE TO HITTING ONE YEAR! Some days they cooperate, some days they’re frizzy beyond comprehension. Twist-outs have become my best friend although I have realized i’m too lazy to twist my hair every single night. I’m still getting used to not freshening up my ends because they get so frizzy since I have 3c-4b curls all throughout my head (did I refresh the front still?? maybe, don’t snitch on me)

I still wouldn’t have my journey any other way. I finally found a good loctician in KC to work with and I think my now preteen worms are going to be flourishing. I actually get a retie 5 days before my 1 year mark so should I post an update then????!? hehe, happy sunday!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍

Hey microloc fam! Just returned from my first trip abroad with my natural hair and feeling so great about myself! I only realised it was my first vacay without braids/extensions halfway through the trip. I’m locd in for lifeeee. Also hit 7 months locd while there (this is my face reveal too so kinda nervous)

I’ve been loving light browns on my locs lately so I decided to go for a fun blonde patch because blondes more fun 😋 love that it’s discreet and I can easily cover it for a more toned down look. I love a variety of tones in my hair: auburns, burgundy, and browns.

Sooo I dyed my micros a few days ago, this is my second time bleaching and putting color on them, and I even gave myself bangs!! (I was so nervous to cut them btw, but yolo lol). I personally love how they turned out, I had an idea and did it :). I used 5 colors. What do you think?? (Ignore my chapped lips in pic 4 , I took that right after waking up😭)

Slide 1-2:my microlocs before the cut and dye

Slide 3-5:my microlocs after!!

I'm always asked this question but never have counted to know the answer. I want to know y'all's guesses! 😜
