Then & Now • Micro Loc Journey
It’s something about the freedom that locs give me and the fact that I did them myself that really makes me love them so much more.
My locs aren’t “perfect” and neither is my gridding, but I seriously wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m in love with this mess that I’ve created and I love that I can manage it in my own —saving me thousands of dollars on my self maintenance budget. I’ll use that to go get more chickens, more cow manuer, and more raised garden bed soil now. 😆 (The life of a #homesteader )

As you embark on your unique hair journey, keep in mind the importance of scalp health and hydration. Regular washes, moisture treatments, and avoiding product buildup are essential.
