    I just started my starter locs yesterday! Went to a shop that’s specialized in them and got the 2 strand twist like you. There just below my ear so I kinda like the length & I WAS gonna add extensions but now that I have starter locs I feel like just going natural all The way so I’ll keep them like this

    Those rounded ends 😍 I’m struggling with my starters at the moment (just a month in) because my shrinkage is so drastic so I almost never wear them out. Thank goodness I already own so many headwraps, but I’m really looking forward to either getting even more frizz and fluff so that they look rounded when out or the longer wait for some weight to them when I retain length again. I’m washing every week or every two weeks and hoping the frequent washes help the loc process as my hair tangles. Excited to see your continued progress!

    Oh, I forgot to add - if you are really bothered about buildup (and especially since you are pretty active and workout frequently) you might decide to continue your maintenance with interlocks. That way you won't have to bother about buildup or unraveling with frequent washing, since you won't need any product except rosewater and a light oil. If it's not something that bothers you just ignore

    Try Neutrogena Anti-residue shampoo. It works wonders for build up. Just follow up with a moisturizing shampoo and diluted moisturizing conditioner(optional). Use every time you shampoo, rub it into the locs and rinse well.

    Your locs are pretty. I'll probably allow my hair to loc once I become about 65. Or I'll just style my hair in the two classic braids we're known for wearing. I'm quite a ways away from 65 but I don't think I'll have the strength to style my natural hair once I'm older. I can't imagine holding my arms in the air to braid it or blow dry it at 70! As for grey hair, my hair has turned WHITE. LOL. My hair skipped the grey phase. And I'm late 40s. But my Mom's hair was snow white by the time she turned 55.

    Oh my word! 😂 You could have been describing MY hair. Every single word. Except my hair is crazy frizzy all over and budding away like mad. I too only wash every four weeks, so you're not alone. When it matures, at the 1 year mark, I'll start washing every 2 weeks. How do you keep it from shrinking up though? It's always so straight in all your videos. Is there something you do to it at bedtime? As always, TFS😊

    Honestly, I don't do anything that's out of the ordinary when I go to bed. I tuck my hair under a satin bonnet and that's it. When I wake up, I take the bonnet off and allow the hair to fall. I wear my hair down probably 98 percent of the time, so maybe that could be a factor? I haven't experienced much shrinkage during my journey. I'm not quite sure why that is, but perhaps I haven't reached that stage yet or that's just how my journey is going to pan out. I'll probably notice it more when my bob starts to fade away because that's when my sides will start budding and catching up to the rest of my hair.
