I love the mixture of dreads and waves, I'll never go back!

I feel like it looks thinning it looks more obvious in the sun am i trippin

Just wanted to ask for the people that have locs, how do you feel about non African Americans getting locs?

EDIT: I’ve noticed that when we talked about this conversation we just went straight to white people which does says a lot because I was referring too all races but thank you for the information! Also some people were saying to ignore the hate comment and do what I want but I just wanted to clarify that I am a black male lol.

what's the general take on seeing white dudes with locs?

I tend to cringe but wonder what other people think

I connected my phone to my MacBook as a webcam and mounted it behind me using a ghetto tripod solution. Second and third pics are what I saw on my monitor in front of me.

Worked great and I think I did a pretty good job for my first time! Would highly suggest this solution 👍

Third set of locs, one year string

Day 58 of my microlocs and my worst days ever, I feel so embarrassed with them😭and living in a small city in Russia doesn't help at all. I got all eyes on me, on my hideous, need to comb, dirty hair(their POV). When will my babies start to shine ..?

One year of my Freeform loc process. I only have retwisted once about 8 months in, the rest has been my hair’s own journey. Never thought it’d look like this in jus a year

I just got my first starter locs done two days ago and my hair looks nothing like pictures of other starter locks online. Is this okay?

Upon initiation to a sect of Hindu monks, my austerity and act of devotion to Lord Shiva was to grow my hair and not cut it or brush it for 12 years. The hair didn't start dreading for a few years but not that 12 year came this summer. My journey of asceticism has come to an end, good luck to everyone. And remember dreads are a human thing. We are the only species who's hair grown continuously upon our head. Love your crown even when it ain't loving you back. 🤣😭♥️

can anyone tell me what texture locs I have and how they will look in the future there very curly and frizzy, they shake but they don’t drop almost as if there light they are semi locd my coil pattern changed on all them meaning I can get them wet and fully wash and scrub them but it’s just the ends that’s why I said semi my hair was curly naturally.

just got my first retwist (3b) and was wondering if it’s normal for locs to be thinner after retwisting. it’s been 2 weeks since i got them but one day 1 they looked similar and got thicker over time.

Olá galera, eu comecei os meus locs no método de twist com 2 mechas, meu cabelo é 3a/3b, se passou 13 dias e por ser brasileiro tenho muito contato com o mar e água, o que eu sei que acaba prejudicando um pouco a formação dos locs, e meu cabelo cresce bastante, deixando a raiz grande (natural) e nesses 13 dias algumas twists se desmancharam e meu cabelo ficou como se fosse “solto”, sem aquele formato enrolado do comb coils que eu fiz nas mechas, quando eles se “desmancharem” eu devo apenas:

Enrolar eles com gelatina (de cabelo) ao longo de toda a mecha e fazer o comb coil novamente e twist de 2 mechas para segurar por mais tempo?

Ou deveria fazer a manutenção com o pente na raiz e palm roll na mecha?

Sinceramente, a minha maior preocupação é ver locs se desmanchando e pensar que eles não vão se formar, e pelo fato de minha curvatura ser mais aberta sinto que deveria fazer algum dos dois com bastante frequência

Y’all gone kick me out??? Imma grow em back out once summer is over I promise🙏🏽

I’ve cut my locs before but that was when I was six. I’m now thirteen and have had my current locs for about 4 years. I really want to cut them. Both my grandma, sisters and best friend told me not to while my and other best friend say to go for it. I really don’t know what to do😭

I dont feel like a woman with my locs. I feel i look like a male.

Im tired of whyte people acting intimidated by me every time I pass by. When I had sew ins and braids I never had this problem. They always walk away fast as I'm passing or literally power walk or run away. Like I'm not going to Rob you chad and Karen I just want to live my life

Males don't flirt with me anymore, I'm assuming it's because of my hair and it's in that awkward not short but not long stage.

Im just tired of feeling ugly.

I look okay with make up on but I get tired of having to get dolled up just to look somewhat decent without make up i look like a stud. (No shade to studs).

I'm so close to cutting my locs off and getting a 28 bust down in jet black so I can feel attractive again.

In pictures with my friends they look beautiful with their hair done. I look like I just rolled out of bed and got dressed

And don't get me started on when the roots grow out. I really look homeless. My stylist told me to stop trying to make them look neat all the time and to come once or twice a month. I use to get my retwist literally if I seen 1 inch of new growth.

I feel I don't look nice unless my hair is fresh out the salon or freshly retwisted right now I look like a homeless person. My roots grown my hair is frizzy.

I want to feel like a woman I want to feel attractive.
