1 YEAR LOC’AVERSARY 🥰🔒🗝️

This has definitely been a journey. This is also the most I’ve ever worn my natural hair in a a year EVER and i was a loose natural for YEARS! I only did one protective style last yr and in shooketh lol

But I LOVE MY LOCS. My second and final set. They are the perfect size this time and flourishing well🥰 My only complaint is this doggone shrinkage lol. My hair was past my shoulders and it’s just now back touching them😅 BUT.. I’m still living w the process #locjourney #blackgirlandherlocs #locaversary

Seven year loc growth: here’s what i did
- I retwist my hair every 3/4 months💆🏾‍♀️ FUN FACT: wigs was my best friend during the first 12 months because I couldn’t take the ugly stage 😅. -I don’t oil or spray my locs everyday maybe once 😂. (Im getting better) -I literally just get up and go. #mylocjourney #blackgirllemon8
