Ayyyy congrats on starting your journey! How did it go?? Plus it’s okay to have those reservations about your loc journey, you’ll be literally taking it 1 month at a time and witness alot of changes all at once. The main thing to remember throughout the journey, is to have patience and have a open mind to your new self-image as it develops, plus the perception others will have of you too.

Hello, and I hope all is well. I have locs it's been 3 months, and every time I take off my locks off, my head is sticking all up. It lays down nice after I clip it and unclip it. During wash and tetwist retwist, I want to take the head wrap off it sticks up. Is there any way to keep them lying down, or that's the way it's supposed to be lying down, or that's the way it's supposed to be ?

How often would you advise to interlock your hair at the salon? Bless g
@MotivatedByE
3 жыл бұрын
I would only do it in the initial starter loc process because once the hair is locked in you should just let it do it’s thing. I’ve done it twice so far but won’t be doing it anymore because I don’t wanna tamper with my locs anymore.
If you get stater locs when do you have to wash them and re-twist them?
@MotivatedByE
3 жыл бұрын
Retwisting can be really stressful on the scalp so most people get them done each month or 2months during the initial stages. Once your hair matures you could probably stretch it to every 3 months. When it comes to washing your hair at the beginning of your journey, give it a week or two before washing your starter locs.
