Loc Journey Update! ✨🫶🏽🥰
Locs 2020 and Locs 2024 is a different kind of routine!
✨Overall Style: Locs 2020
2020: I kept protective hair styles in my hair, oiled my scalp on a regular, my hair stayed dry, washed my hair once every 2 months to keep my hair locked in, easier to wear wigs.
✨Overall style: Locs 2024
2024: Hair started getting length, less maintenance, less styling, protein treatments one a month, washing my hair twice a week.
In the world of locs, hair care routines can drastically change over time, especially as your locks grow longer and healthier. In 2020, my focus was on maintaining protective hairstyles to promote growth, along with a strict routine that included oiling my scalp regularly and washing my hair infrequently. This approach ensured that my locs remained intact and that my hair benefitted from minimal manipulation. By 2024, the journey took a new turn. With the length I had achieved, my maintenance routine evolved. I shifted to more frequent washing—twice a week—this helped keep my scalp clean and my locs fresh. I also incorporated monthly protein treatments to ensure my hair retained strength and elasticity. This change allows for easier styling and a more laid-back approach to hair care. Adapting your hair routine based on the needs of your locs is essential, as each stage of growth brings unique challenges and requirements. Whether you’re just starting your loc journey or are already several years in, understanding how to care for your hair is crucial. The evolution of my locs from 2020 to 2024 illustrates the importance of listening to your hair's needs and adjusting your routine accordingly. Embrace the journey and let your locs flourish!
